Current build and known issues

HUD flash fix (page flip waits for drawing) · 2026-10-05

Beta; timing passed (all corners); cabinet test pending

Seven original Wolf Unit games. Fixed: MK3/UMK3 name bars and HUD flashing in heavy fights (Motaro, Kintaro, Shiva) -- the screen now switches to a new frame only after everything queued for it has been drawn. Settings and high scores survive a power cycle. Service-menu adjustments, including volume, are saved with Save NVRAM; on MK3/UMK3 the coin-door Volume Up/Down buttons change volume for the current session only, as in MAME. DCS 16x output filter (hiss fix). Community hacks requiring separate ROM sources are not installed by this feed.

These statements describe the published core build. They do not establish that every supported game has passed every cabinet test.
