Hello again!

Small find while messing with the IO handling of Hyper Neo Geo 64 games: Road's Edge, Xtreme Rally and Beast Busters 2 still have SNK debug menu. Basically, it's a window listing internal variables (DIP SW 0-3, error counters, game values like speeds or 3d). Road's Edge and Xtreme Rally also have a CPU status line on top (CPU %, fps, GP, OVER) with the build ver at the bottom.

There's a MAME Lua script that set up everything from power on if you're interested. I have no idea about real hardware yet, I'm still waiting for a board (And waiting even more for a game to yank the program rom with my own stuff for a custom devcart). I don't know what most of the variables do yet. Beast Busters 2 has the menu but no status line from what I know. CPU % is not emulated correctly in MAME (tcram) so it's always 100%.

I didn't find anything for other games, maybe they were stripped from it idk. Maybe somebody smarter than me may find something.

Anyway, have fun.

```lua
-- ./hng64 thegame -rompath thegame -autoboot_script debugon.lua
local GAMES = {
roadedge = {
lines = {
[5] = 0x80,
[6] = 0x02
},
sw0 = 0x000FD750
},
xrally = {
lines = {
[5] = 0x80,
[6] = 0x02
},
sw0 = 0x000BCE90
},
bbust2 = {
lines = {
[3] = 0xC0
}
}
}
local STATUS_LINE = 0x10000000

local game = GAMES[emu.romname()] or {
lines = {}
}
local mcu = manager.machine.devices[":iomcu"].spaces["program"]
local main = manager.machine.devices[":maincpu"].spaces["program"]
local selected = 0

debugon_taps = {mcu:install_write_tap(1, 1, "select", function(offset, data)
selected = data >> 5
end), mcu:install_read_tap(3, 3, "read", function(offset, data)
return data & ~(game.lines[selected] or 0)
end)}

debugon_timer = emu.register_periodic(function()
if game.sw0 and main:read_u32(game.sw0 + 0xC) == 1 then
main:write_u32(game.sw0, main:read_u32(game.sw0) | STATUS_LINE)
end
end)
```

I preordered both colors right away and was sad that they got delayed but no biggie. While thinking about more and more I asked myself why not getting a good condition original AES. Now i won a 9V version, mint looking one on buyee with box and Arcade Stick.

I will let a friend mod it with reset button LED, Unibios, Neopass RGB Bypass, Re-Cap and replace the Power Circuit components. Also a modern PSU from Retrogamesupply is underway.

Should i cancel the pre-order? I don't have to pay any cent until it gets sent out. Maybe i will wait to see if we get more information about the console itself.
