Shinobi – MiSTer FPGA – 1CC – Full Playthrough – Sega System 16 Core (BETA)

Here is my 1CC full playthrough of the brand new Sega System 16 core by Jotego on the MiSTer FPGA. This release is still in beta so there are some known bugs, i.e. if you beat the bonus stage, then the game hangs up, but it feels and plays just like the real arcade board to me (I have the Sega 16B PCB in my Sega New Astro City). I cannot wait for the MiSTer FPGA core for all the Sega System 16 games to be released, as I’d love to play them on my MiSTer, especially my two favourites: Shinobi and Golden Axe.

Apart from the bonus stage glitch, I think the games seems to play very close to the arcade PCB. I seemed to get slowdown in the ninja magic more frequently than in the arcade, but that may just be coincidence (as it does happen on the PCB as well).
