i tried several times to do what you suggest but i didn't manage to have an image in the preview window.

so i never submitted such embedded images :
here is a trial :

regards.

all trials erased
You are right it doesn't work from Dropbox or Google, I just tried it.

What I normally do is size the image with PhotoImpact and then load it to a folder on my Website. Then I use the link from my website.

Maybe try and get a free website somewhere and create a folder in it where you put your pictures and use that link.

Best regards
Nick

Hi,

here's a quick bugfix for CB-Emu:
http://www77.zippyshare.com/v/ppdArcMz/file.html

There was a little problem with the reset key (RE) in the Reversi module - thanks to 'yoyo' who informed me about it.

in fact i am a bit disappointed :
i expected to find at least a Z80.
in fact there is a NEC D546 which is a 4 bits CPU
This are bad news indeed.
I don't find an emulation of this CPU in MAME, so I guess we can't expect this Checker Challenger to be emulated anytime in the near future in the MAME system. :(

uCOM-4 MCU family is emulated in MAME, it's written by me: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/ma ... /ucom4.cpp
However, with these chips it's very hard to read out the internal ROM contents, yovan won't be able to dump the ROM. I know someone who can, but that person is very busy with other things.

I think model CR is the cost-reduced revision. The older model ACR likely has a different CPU.

Aah, I've searched for NEC 546 - that's why I didn't find anything.

Ok, then we should wait for a ROM dump of this 'advanced' (although older) version ... :)

And one more CB-Emu update (replaces the previous fix):

1) Mephisto Academy: additional German version (thanks to Berger for the German ROM version)
2) Fidelity SC9-B: 8MHz version corrected (internal clock was running too fast)
3) ROM labels for 'sc9' and 'sc9b' changed! (requires ROMs_Update!)
4) Fidelity Dame and Reversi Challenger: CPU frequency can be changed in 'Options > Configuration'
(3.9/8/16 MHz for Dame, 1.8/4/8 MHz for Reversi --> especially for 'yoyo' ;))

(link for new or changed ROMs in the file 'ROMs_Update.txt'!)

Regards,
Franz
