The MiSTer FPGA core for TMNT arcade has been released in the last few days.

Wanted to inquire if it was accepted as a platform to run on.

Thanks!

40wattrange has done some testing and the only issue he has found is a timing difference on one of the songs (does not effect gameplay). I see no reason why it wouldn't be acceptable.

While I haven't found anything different, I would personally suggest waiting until the core is out of beta and publicly available for everyone.

Once it is actually out of beta or rc, then I would say have at it.

Further elaboration on why I think we should wait until final:

The core is not only for TMNT, it is for the other games that share that hardware as well. As new games are added, the core gets changes/updates to facilitate those games. If modules for different chips get swapped out to add features it could cause something weird to happen.

So IMO, until the core goes public, we should wait. Though I still havent seen any play issues between MiSTer/Hardware/MAME/Xbox360
