Hey I'm new to this "era" in the DC world but love all the work y'all have put in & Continue to put in!!
my question is has anyone ever "ported" These titles to DC or does anyone have a CDI of these that i could get??
my guess it wouldn't be too hard to make this happen? i just don't know where to even start if i had the skills and knowledge i would def whip this up both games are such classics!!

i would think making a mameDC disk with the game on it might be the best way to go.

Word of advice from a shitty programmer: I've seen similar "it shouldn't be hard toExcellenceK wrote:my guess it wouldn't be too hard to make this happen?
Code: Select all
" comments over the years, mostly during my time making tools for a very popular online game. Unless you know what you're doing and are intimately familiar with all resources necessary to do the job, you won't know what would or wouldn't be "hard."
It doesn't matter if the game in question is as simple as a tic-tac-toe game with only text for graphics - no matter how simple things may appear from the outside, there's an infinite number of things that could be going on under the hood to make it a difficult job.
In this case, nobody's going to be "port"ing arcade games like this without source code. Hell, even [i]with[/i] source code it'd be a hell of a task. I wish it weren't... speaking as a wrestling fan.
As mentioned above, see if they run in MAME. I'm guessing not since I definitely would've tried myself years ago but can't remember (if it worked, I'd remember!).

Not even play-able hence why he stop dev on it.

For how great DC is it can't emulate and play everything you throw at it.
In the case of 90's and up mame games get a pi, og xbox, or just play on pc.
