Working on System 16 (Bay Route game)

Back to System 16! I'll try to get Bay Route working for #JTFriday. It currently halts right at the start :-O pic.twitter.com/x8ufZ2TdXc

After three hard days, I've fixed an important bug in the #System16 core that was hanging up Bay Route. Probably Bullet is fixed now too, the JTAlpha team will check it.
I'll go back to #NeoGeoPocket work for the rest of the week. pic.twitter.com/68b8KVgD0U

**Jotego Updates**
Concentrating on NGP CPU and System 16 bug fixes

The week will be split between NGP CPU development and System 16 bugs and fixes.

— jotego (@topapate) January 24, 2022

A bit more than 50% of the CPU is done at the moment. For the rest of the system, I’ve only done research but it looks well documented and reasonably specified for the MiSTer

Track and field

What a wonderful surprise! @RetroRusty found the full schematics for Track & Field. So far I only had partial scans of the main board. This has sped up development by more than a week! Thanks a lot 😀 pic.twitter.com/lmYQb3neGY
