Time Pilot '84 for MiSTer

An FPGA implementation of Time Pilot '84 by Ace, ElectronAsh, Enforcer, and Kitrinx

Features

• Modelling done at the chip level to match PCB behavior and logic as closely as possible
• Keyboard and joystick controls
• CPU09 CPU by John E. Kent with modifications by B. Cuzeau
• T80s CPU by Daniel Wallner with fixes by MikeJ, Sorgelig, and others
• SN76489 sound core by Arnim Laeuger with fixes by Ace and Enforcer
• Fully-tuned audio filters (selectable within the core) including the PCB's switchable low-pass filters

Installation

Place *.rbf into the "_Arcade/cores" folder on your SD card. Then, place *.mra into the "_Arcade" folder and ROM files from MAME into "games/mame". For authentic audio filtering, place the filters_audio folder onto the root of the SD card and select one of the two provided filter presets from within the core. TP84 Light LPF simulates the PCB's audio filtering when volume-matched to the core's volume while TP84 Heavy LPF simulates the PCB's audio filtering when set as loud as possible before clipping.

ATTENTION

ROMs are not included. In order to use this arcade core, you must provide the correct ROMs.

To simplify the process, .mra files are provided in the releases folder that specify the required ROMs along with their checksums. The ROM's .zip filename refers to the corresponding file in the M.A.M.E. project.

Please refer to https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Arcade-Roms for information on how to setup and use the environment.
