Retro Dev Blog Update 5 (June 2026)

Mini update on Final Vendetta Neo Geo:

Testing continues to progress well and moves into the final stages. We caught a small issue which resulted in needing an SROM reflash. Fortunately the SROM erase and program only takes a few seconds (unlike the C ROMS!!) for each CHA PCB, so we will be re-programming those next week.

A major heatwave struck the UK this last week, making it a tough week for everyone. But in between eating a huge volume of ice cream we have collated all the remaining parts needed for the Final Vendetta assembly that we had locally. Ready to take to our head office and warehouse for the dry run final assembly, which is scheduled for this coming Monday. We’ll make sure to get some nice pictures of that process for next time!

Thanks again for all your support!
