MAME Einstein emulation issues

[Lee Bendall]

I have now completed my testing of all software on the Einstein 256 emulator so this completes the original list
Mayhem - Attempts to load but then returns to the boot disk screen, then repeats over and over again

Nvaders - Attempts to load but then returns to the boot disk screen, then repeats over and over again

Phroggy - Attempts to load but then returns to the boot disk screen, then repeats over and over again

Punchy - Attempts to load but then returns to the boot disk screen, then repeats over and over again

Shark Hunter - Disk loads to Black Screen

Space Trap - Attempts to load but then returns to the boot disk screen, then repeats over and over again

Starbase - disk loads but when trying to boot game it goes to corrupt screen

Tetris - Disk loads to Black Screen

Time Pilot - Attempts to load but then returns to the boot disk screen, then repeats over and over again

Time Trap - Loads, starts to play then crashes

Traxman - Attempts to load but then returns to the boot disk screen, then repeats over and over again

Loads but then goes to a corrupted screen with a boarder that looks very similar to a ZX Spectrum loading screen.

Further to my earlier update, Adam Groome who is responsible for the Tatung Bytes Website - today retested every single disk on his own Einstein 256, in order to double check everything works. Upon completion of this mammoth task he has informed me that five of the disks I listed as having issues in the einstein 256 emulation do not in fact work on an original machine, these five disks being Hustler, Hyperball 2, Jumpmania, Sprog and Starbase.

Therefore these five titles need to be removed from the lists I posted earlier today but we now know definitively that every other disk i have listed as having issues, has been tested and proven to work on an original Einstein 256 Machine.
