iq_132 has reported that Haze has done some work on fixing hardware support added to MAME, the Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, by Luca (posted earlier). Below is what Haze posted on his WIP page (truncated).

 

Twin Action vs. Mustang

 

So.. it seems Afega’s games aren’t so original either… Luca recently added support for Twin Action, but it wasn’t working; it reset when you hit the fire button and the player sprite was invisible. That behavior reminded me a lot of a previous game I’d look at, US AAF Mustang, actually the whole game did right down to the parallax scrolling sprites for the ground. Sure enough comparing the Afega and NMK16 drivers revealed that Afega had copied most of the NMK hardware and that Twin Action was nothing but a bootleg of US AAF Mustang. By using the same protection patches as used for Mustang (with some slight adjustmenets to compensate for code being moved about), Twin Action started working.
