Ahhh... The count's up to three now. ;-) Sorry, Mark, I forgot you.

Hmmm. Maybe Zonn will want to kick it loose. Paul too? I did pretty
well with the Sega stuff by using MAME for testing (since it runs on the
same machine I had my development tools on), but having source on Al's
emulator and being able to hack "custom" debug routines for whatever I
was working on really helped!

Hey! That's what I like to hear! Not to disappoint Ray, but I think
whoever said that Star Castle and Armor Attack were probably the best
"candidates" probably had it right. And if Mark's already got a good
bit of the work done...

What are you using? If it's fairly cheap and available I might try to
talk you into letting me leech the design to use with the Sega stuff...
