I'm looking at the Seibu SPI graphics encryption at the moment. For now, I'm fixing the small mistakes in the tilemap layers of Senkyu etc., after that I might look at the sprites as well.
Most of the work has already been done on the tilemap layer, but there are some mistakes. I have understood while they are happening and already fixed one of them. It's clear how the algorithm works, it's a bitswap + arithmetic calculations (additions instead of simple XORs - this is not common). Replacing the lookup table with formulas and fixing the remaining bugs is just a matter of time and patience at this point.
Nicola,
ReplyDeleteYou are the greatest! Working on decryption is difficult and time consuming. It is great that you spend your time. I have always loved arcade games, and MAME is one way to rediscover the games I played as a child. Keep up the great work.

Nicola,
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius! I have always loved arcade games and MAME is absolutely the best. I especially love the Raiden series and have been hoping for ages now that these will be playable in the future. I know that this may take a while to figure out but it's good to see that someone (especially someone with your talents) is working on this.
Many thanks for all your time spent and effort spent.
