But I noticed that some games are programmed on the assumption that the data referenced by each CPU is inconsistent and the difference in timing with and without hitting the cache. Virtua Fighter is one of them. You...

They say CHEAT function violates the Device and Network Abuse policy and sections 4.8 and 4.9 of the Developer Distribution Agreement. ( Who cares about 20 years old games cheating???). So we were forced to release Yaba Sanshiro as a new app.

  • Game file folder is changed from "/sdcard/yabause/games/" to...
