I've discovered a new unlock code for Mr. Driller 2. It permanently unlocks the EX stage The North/北極 that is normally only available if you play on a CyberLead II cab using a memcard with a save that meets certain requirements. Works on both the World and Japanese versions.

Happy April 1st. In next month's MAME 0.254 release there will be 5 playable Namco System 10 games:

Mr. Driller 2 (JP/World)
Chocovader Contactee
Star Trigon
Kono e Tako

I managed to unfuck graphics in Tokimeki Memorial Oshiete Your Heart in MAME. I replaced the SCSI controller with a more implementation complete one (replaced the AM53CF96 with one based on NCR53CF94 with the required new registers) and it can properly load data now.

Confidential. Can play the dancer animations and rotate them and zoom and such. https://t.co/3od71nUUtV

I figured out how to make the image test menu do things, so here's what I actually came for. I saw references to these in a memory dump and was interested. Location test images.

I was sent a dump of the Asian release of beatmania Complete MIX which is in English but retains the "beatmania" title instead of "hiphopmania". I sent a PR off to MAME upstream so maybe it'll be included in next month's release. Thanks to DeepSeaSqueeze for the dump.

Screens I've never actually seen in gameplay in my life. I need to git gud.

This is in the background video used for the "anime" character (that's what they call the lifeless Robo wannabe, and Nurse Zukin is "animb"). The text, from left to right, says "Finished dressing up" and "Finished charging" or something along those lines. It's a weird picture.

This is as close as I can get. The karaoke machine is constantly sending commands for beat top and beat other commands which are used to determine the BPM and also seem to be used for note generation. I was manually sending all of the commands in this video so it isn't pretty.
