The 8th and final known Konami GV game got CHD’d today: Nagano Winter Olympics ’98 (Konami, 1998). It had tougher protection than most GV games, but I still beat it and it’s fully playable with sound and music:

Audio Overload 2.0b4 is now available at bannister.org. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s the console and home computer companion to M1, and it’s available for Linux (32-bit x86, 64-bit AMD64 coming soon), Windows (2000/XP recommended), and Mac OSX (10.3 or later). The Linux version is commandline (but that will be fixed for beta 5), the other 2 versions have a full GUI.

This version supports 15 console and home computer music formats – see the project page on bannister.org for a complete list.

I submitted first-pass working ES5503 emulation to MESS for their now-in-CVS Apple IIgs driver. Audio Overload work continues on an .S3M loader as well. If you have a favorite computer/console format we don’t yet support (besides .SID) let Richard and I know on the bannister.org messageboard.

Richard Bannister’s having some issue with his artist for the Mac version of Audio Overload (you know these Mac people and their graphics) so my PC versions are delayed too.

But life goes on…courtesy of Guru and “Dang Spot” comes Namco’s Libero Grande (with a ROM mapping assist from smf). Here’s the obligatory ZiNc shots: (Title screen and in-game).
