About This File
MAME 0.257 (current updated core) is required. This system is barely playable but when has that ever stopped me?
The VideoBrain Family Computer is an 8-bit home computer manufactured by Umtech Incorporated in 1977. It is the first computer to use ROM-based cartridges for instant program loading.
It's a struggle to get any accurate movement with a joystick in MAME. The keyboard layout is so unintuitive that I had to create a bezel showing the default layout. All attempts to remap the joystick or keyboard was unsuccessful.
Using RetroArch autoload save states and customizing the MAME videobrain hash, I was able to split Gladiator into three separate games: (Gladiator, Future Gladiator, and Scrimmage).
Hopefully MAME compatibility will improve in the future because some of the games look impressive by 1978 standards.
I had to manually adjust the screen position (settings in cfg file).
Use the autoload states and the correct number code will be automatically entered for Gladiator, Future Gladiator, and Scrimmage. Without autoload states all three games will load Gladiator main menu.
Without states:
Gladiator 1-127
Scrimmage 129-255
Future Gladiator 256-999
