Arcade Puyo Puyo 2 on Fightcade, soon?

A while back I noticed Final Burn Neo added support for the Sega C-2 aka Puyo Puyo 2 arcade:

seems there’s been work in progress the past few months in adding emulator support for sega c-2 arcade hardware in final burn neo. this means fightcade support for puyo puyo 2 arcade could become a reality in due time. also columns 2 I guess for all the columns fans out there (?)

I guess I didn't realize until recently that the Fightcade devs had no interest in updating the core FBNeo engine any time soon, so I took it upon myself to see how much work it would take to add the C2 driver myself, and lo and behold, it wasn't much! Submitted a pull request today; we'll see how long it takes to have it accepted and released.

still waiting

so fightcade got a new update out of the blue today, and merged in precisely zero of the open pull requests (including my sega c2 driver port).

actually, I also had a sega system 32 driver port from a few months back that i never added to the pull request because I couldn't figure out how to get outrunners working (something about the multi-monitor setup causes a freeze after boot). The rest of the games I poked around with seemed to work fine....... should I add it to the pull request and see what happens???

I'm getting more comfortable playing puyo lately

I noticed that im getting a better feel for openers and freestyling chains. Alot of the difficulty with puyo evaporates when you....

  • learn basic chain logic
  • practice movement tech.

After that stuff, alot of the upper level things feel like they're a few practice sessions away. Playing with Rodknee is alot of fun cuz i have a strong opponent i can practice against and lab different ways of playing. Oh that also reminds me, gotta add one more to the list

  • learn basic chain logic
  • practice movement tech.

  • YOU DONT NEED A HUGE 20 PART CHAIN

It's a lesser known fact, but the damage system in puyo is versatile enough that you can do big damage with making huge chains, and the smaller chains may be more preferable sometimes.
