JT_GNG FPGA Clone of Ghosts'n Goblins by Jose Tejada (@topapate)
Please, read the main README file too.
You have just got an expensive $500 PCB according to eBay. You have in your hands a faithful conversion of the circuits on the 1943 PCB to FPGA. If you come from the emulation world here are some of the things different from emulators:
-Real CPU/GPU bus sharing with delays -Sprites handled with DMA exactly as in the original hardware -Palettes determined by the original PROMs -Graphics priority handled by the original PROM -No lag between image and input. Data is being sent to the screen in real time. -3 button input (although the game seems to use only two buttons) -Sound sampling rate: 41.663 kHz (original, 125/3 kHz)
These technical aspects mean that the game play will be different from an emulator in a number of ways and that some hardware tricks that were not emulated will work here as in the original hardware.

| F4 | Pause |
| F5 | Test Switch |
| SPACE | Jump |
| CTRL,ALT | Fire |
| UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT | Movements |
Joystick support
- Note1: in continue screen use combo Fire + 1P/2P to continue
ROM is not included. In order to use this arcade, you need to provide a correct ROM file.
- Put bat and 7za.exe files from releases folder into the same folder on PC.
- Execute bat file - it will show the name of zip file containing required files.
- Find this zip file somewhere. You need to find the file exactly as required. Do not rename other zip files even if they also replresent the same game - they are not compatible! The name of zip is taken from M.A.M.E. project, so you can get more info about hashes and contained files there.
- Put required zip into the same folder and execute the bat again.
- If everything will go without errors or warnings, then you will get the rom file.
- Place the rom file into root of SD card.
It is obvious what you have to do except:
-Press fire 1 and 2 to roll -Hold the coin button during power up to test mode in order to be able to access al test options -Hold fire 1 at the end of an air carrier phase to receive a weapon at the beginning of the next phase
