    Finally, the wait is over! Sorry for the delay, as we had to purchase a new camera during the review. Our Hori Real Arcade Pro 2: SA (Special Addition) review is comprised of 40 pictures (you read correctly) and a lengthy analysis on all aspects of this arcade stick. The Hori Real Arcade Pro 2: SA has been acclaimed to be maybe the best arcade stick ever made by Hori. It uses both Sanwa buttons and a Sanwa stick. If you are a fighting game fan or would love to bring the feel of the old arcades to your home, then this is a must read. We hope you enjoy reading the review!

     

    Lastly, we want to thank Akihabarashop.jp one last time for the opportunity to review this product. It truly was a pleasure working with them.

    Source Changes

    -------------------------

    Replaced kodb set with complete dump from known bootleg board (different gfx rom layout).

    Added wofhfh bootleg from mame32plus.

    Added SF2 Magic Turbo Delta bootleg as non-working. [David Haywood]

     

    Added skeleton hikaru driver. [David Haywood, Guru]

     

    Fixed possible 64-bit crash/hang with survival. [nuapete]

     

    Driver's Eyes improvements: [Naibo]

    - the communication work between CPU and 3D DSP should be limited to the master M68000, if the address mapping is done in the shared memory, master CPU would be disturbed by the slave one.

    - DIP Switches

    DIP3 ON for Screen on the left

    DIP4 ON for Screen on the right

    should not toggle on both

    - The left, center and right screens have separate programs and boards, each would work independantly. About projection angles of left and right screen, the angle is correct on 'DRIVER'S EYES' title screen, however in the tracks of demo mode it doesn't seem correct.

    - The game also features a pretty nice 2D sprite layer, which still doesn't show up yet. It is known that the CPU does constantly feed the 2D video memory some meaningful and logical data.

     

    New driver for Lucky 74 (Wing Co.Ltd, 1988) [Roberto Fresca, Tomasz Slanina]

    - Set the proper screen size.

    - Decoded graphics.

    - Decoded the dual-state color circuitry.

    - Mapped the NVRAM, VRAM1-1, VRAM1-2, VRAM2-1 and VRAM2-2 properly.

    - Emulated 2x PPI 8255 devices.

    - Mapped the 4x DIP switches banks.

    - Added PORT_DIPLOCATION to all DIP switches.

    - Added DIP switches for 'Bet Max' and 'Limit'.

    - Added DIP switches for 'Jackpot' and 'Pay Table'.

    - Added the Memory Reset Switch.

    - Added the 2nd video & color RAM.

    - Added a 2nd tilemap for background graphics.

    - Simplified the graphics banks.

    - Fixed colors for foreground graphics.

    - Fixed visible area to show the top of background graphics.

    - Finally fixed colors for background graphics.

    - Added all coinage DIP switches.

    - Mapped all remaining inputs (service and player buttons).

    - Added pulse time limitation to coins A, B & C.

    - Switched to use 4x 8255 in replace of 2x 82c255 for I/O.

    - Created a handler to feed the z80 port0 requests.

    - Promoted lucky74s to 'working' state.

    - Added an alternate set, but the program ROM looks like incomplete, protected or just a bad dump.

    - Parent/clone relationship.

    - Added technical notes.

    - Hooked interrupts.

    - Hooked the AY8910 and therefore the NMI trigger.

    - Changed the input "Key In" to active high.

     

    Fix scrolling speed in case a cheat dat has invalid (i.e. 0) settings. [couriersud]

     

    Added per-device and per-CPU validity checks. [Nathan Woods]

     

    Added new Ferrari F355 USA BIOS to Naomi.c [AndyGeezer]

     

    Improved sprite rendering on gaia crusaders (animate at 60fps now, not 30). [David Haywood]
