Most interesting thing from bunch of carts provided by Oreanor today is a
"Dragon Fighter" game by so called "Flying Star". It's known already by our
Chinese friends and actually was already dumped, but for some reason not
released to the public and still remain unemulated. So finally I got it to
verify, test and emulate and after a couple of days of RE I now know that I
don't understand how this damn mapper really works! ;) Mapper itself is
simulated and works fine in emulator, but as about the hardware, I can't make
it work the same way it should work junging from the program code. There is a
some kind of copy protection and I surrender all the attempts to break it
easily. Screw that, maybe I break it some day in the future.
The protection on the program level is weak and can be easily removed, so it
perfectly simulated now in emulator, but this hardware, developed according
to the internal copyrights ("Programming by Peter Lai , Hardware design by
Tony Tseng .") by somy guy called Tony Tseng, it is something that I never
seen before.
This game is a fighting with the hard mix of the Mortal Kombat and some
others SMD/SNES characters. There are total 10 fighters, 10 locations, all
characters have at least 2 special moves. In addition, the engine here is
something new, all the data and code here has maximum parametrization, so
most of the game data is a something like scripts, the native code is only
16K in size.
However, there are a couple of problems with the game itself. Some
characters animation phases are garbled and sometimes glitching during the
game. The same effect can be seen on the real hardware. Despite of the
overall complexity of the game's code, there are many things that was done
quickly, like Game Over screen, 2-Player mode selection and an ending, which
is actually some kind of demonstration of the player super-moves, but it can
be seen without beating the game, if you hold A+B+Down on Pad2 at the title
screen and just wait for a couple of seconds.
