XEVIOUS 1200 - FINAL

THIS IS A TRANSCODE FROM THE ORIGINAL ARCADE GAME
(MULTIPLE Z80S) TO 68K ASSEMBLY.

THE ORIGINAL GAME AND SUB CPU ROMS WERE DISASSEMBLED
AND REVERSE-ENGINEERED. THEN THE CODE WAS TRANSCODED
LINE-BY-LINE TO 68K ASSEMBLY.
THE 'CORE' CODE IS PLATFORM-AGNOSTIC AND CALLS OUT TO AN
OPERATING SYSTEM DEPENDENT (OSD) LAYER WRITTEN FOR
EACH TARGET PLATFORM.

THE ORIGINAL TARGET IS THE NEO GEO (AES/MVS/CD).
IT RUNS IN 'TATE' MODE.

SUBSEQUENT TARGETS INCLUDE THE AGA AMIGA.

IN THEORY THE CORE CAN BE PORTED EASILY TO ANY 68K TARGET
THAT CAN SUPPORT THE RESOLUTION, NUMBER OF SPRITES
(PERFORMANCE) AND PALETTE.

XEVIOUS AND SUPER XEVIOUS ARE INCLUDED :)

PROGRESS:

THE CORE TRANSCODE IS 100% COMPLETE.
ONE "LAST" GAMEPLAY BUG TO BE CONFIRMED.

THE NEO GEO TARGET IS PLAYABLE WITH SOUND ON AN EMULATOR
AND ALSO ON REAL HARDWARE (TESTED ON AN AES WITH NEOSD
CARTRIDGE AND NGCD). BETA1 HAS BEEN RELEASED
(HTTPS://TCDEV.ITCH.IO/XEVIOUS).

THE AMIGA TARGET IS PLAYABLE.
A1200 WITH FAST MEMORY IS RECOMMENDED.

FEATURES:

- GAME PLAY IS IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL ARCADE GAME,
INCLUDING THE PSEUDO-RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION.

- ORIGINAL DIPSWITCH OPTIONS SUPPORTED
(EXCEPT COCKTAIL CABINET MODE)

- ALL ORIGINAL GRAPHICS AND COLOURS REPRODUCED PERFECTLY
ON NEO GEO TARGET

- 1 OR 2 PLAYERS SUPPORTED

- HIGH SCORE LOAD/SAVE
