Final Fight 30th Anniversary Edition

Look what just got released by Grego and Rotwang: https://github.com/originalgrego/FinalFightAE-Source
Also the Romhacking.net link

Copy/paste from the Intro notes, emphasis mine...

Final Fight 30th Anniversary Edition is a modification to Final Fight World, ffight.zip in mame, that enhances the game in the following ways:

• Three Players
• Selectable Palettes
• Unlocked Character Selection
• More Health for Enemies/Bosses with three players
• Uncensored Intro / No Region Warning

Every system in the game has been reworked to support three players and enhancements that would improve this experience have been implemented.
It is compatible with real CPS1 hardware through use of a B-21 C-Board for player three input.

...First one to compile it and get it running on their cps1 wins a high-five! Looking even more forward to the multi, assuming it supports sd card loading of roms.

Got a PCB here waiting for a ready to burn romset

Looks rad! Definitely will be a great add for the CPS1 multi

 

[Psyko-M1]

Triple spinning Haggars.
Mad Gear doesn't stand a chance.

 

[djsheep]

Bring on the multi!

I'd be happy converting one of my games to this on a permanent non multi basis. God fn Final Fight is awesome and this enhancement looks sweet.

there is no need to compile anything, just DL files from https://github.com/originalgrego/FinalFightAE-Installer and follow pretty simple instructions, basically - run JAR file and select source ROM archive.

 

[ekorz]

^ first one to do that still wins!

• Unlocked Character Selection

Does anyone know which characters are selectable?

I always thought this hack was pretty fun to mix things up too, because you can choose from 8 characters:

I've got the above hack, it's pretty cool actually. It's on my 14in1.

I believe they call it Final Fight Street Smart.

Only problems I have with the hack is that it can crash randomly/reset, the stage order is different, and most importantly you can't do strike grabs.

What are strike grabs? Instead of doing 1,2, final punch that knocks down an enemy for haggar/cody, 1,2,3, kick knockdown on guy you can opt to do a throw. What you do is hold up or down when punching and you will do a throw. This technique is very essential to 1cc vanilla final fight for crowd control imo. You can't control the direction of the throw. In Punisher they expanded on this though down and up throw your enemy behind you or in front of you making crowd control even easier.

In any case I did a 1cc run of it a few years back.

I had a Chinese CPS1 multi.
It had this game on it and it was DOPE!

Here's pics of the board and things.
I have a stream of it captured on my Twitch somewhere.

I think eventually it sold for like $230.

Has anyone got this going on real hardware yet?

I have a JEDC SF2:CE I saved years ago that was missing all it's ROMs and converted it to Strider Resale. I think it want's to be Final Fight now.

 

[yuro]

I'm with you @Nimmers

I'm wanting to convert a SF2WW board to this. I have a B-21 C Board but does anyone know the harness I need for player 3?

 

[XeD]

Has anyone got this working on real hardware? I got this working mostly but I get some weird graphic issue on the continue screen (not the Haggar glitch) any idea?

Using cps-b-21
91634B-2 and 90629B-3

Last time I asked, they hadn't released the PAL to run it. Not sure if anyone has managed to get it going

 

[XeD]

I guess I'll wait. In the mean time I'll just deal with the mess up continue screen. I haven't completed the game yet, so if that's the only problem I'm ok with it.

 

[Epyc]

This is awesome! Can someone convert this to CPS2 please?
