Rainbow Islands (The Story of Bubble Bobble 2)

Hello fellow MiSTer-users,

I'm new to the MiSTer community and started integrating my game collection onto my FPGA but was wondering if anyone knows if there's a proper arcade core to Rainbow Islands (Taito)?

To be fair I grew up with the Amiga version of the game but was lately playing the Arcade version on Mame/PC mostly.

Thanks in advance and Kind Regards!

Not yet there isn't... Check the pc engine cd conversion, it's not too bad

Gonna go with PC Engine and Amiga then for now

first problem is the MCU - Mame seems to have it pretty well covered now, but it would need a CPU core for the UPD78C11 to stand a chance.

(of course you could do Jumping instead, which is a bootleg of RI - but is not a total copy, things like the secret rooms do not work)
