There was a surprise release of a beta Shinobi core by Jotego recently. Gave it a spin and overall it’s in pretty good shape so far. A couple issues I noticed with the beta are a couple rows of junk on the left edge of the screen, the victory/stage end sound doesn’t play for the 2nd stage boss sometimes (Helicopter), ninja magic sometimes slows down the game more than usual and doesn’t display effects properly, and the bonus stages soft lock the game if you win them currently as well.
Besides that, the game feels as good as ever and the low lag controls on MiSTer feel right at home with the arcade classic. I’ve never gotten this far in the game on one quarter before, actually making it past the stage 3 boss for the first time on 1cr in this video. In one of my trial runs, I was able to beat the first stage boss without him even firing a shot! It takes pretty exact timing for that, so I’ll chalk it up to the recent Rhythm Tengoku sessions on the GBA core for that one ^-^
