240p Test Suite for Neo Geo MVS, AES and NGCD

There is a lot to document and share about this new release of the 240p Test Suite, but I will do so during the month. Thank you for your continuous support and interest, it really makes a huge difference for me.

I have been holding the release in order to make it full and perfect, and although it is very complete there are still a few details to polish. Mainly I need to verify the monoscope I implemented against broadcast patterns and run that by Keith so we can guarantee a good pattern. So to be clear and not to blame him on any inaccuracies I might have made, the monoscope in this version has a warning and has yet to be checked for full precision, although it is very good as it is. The second test that will be revised and changed is MDFourier. It currently works fine, but I won't release the profile for the PC side yet since I will change the current length of some tones, in order to try to be able to compare MVS vs AES vs CD interchangeably, and not only between themselves. This is because each of them has different clocks for video and audio signals, and I have had a ton of stuff in my plate during the start of the year, but i rather release as it is and improve those during this month than delay the release even further.

Another thing that will change is the nomenclature regarding IRE, since it doesn't make sense in MVS systems, just in AES systems.

This version wouldn't be possible without the help of several individuals:

• José Cruz: Has waited patiently and helped in getting me a flash cart
• MobiusStripTech: provided the flash cart for development, thank you!
• El Diablo (Jorge Velazquez): Lent the AES flash cart for further testing, thanks!
• Dustin Dembrosky: Started the code base, selected the tools and set up everythinjg so this could work out, he implemented several of the tests and codeveloped the suite for this platform. Thank you kindly!
• Rolando Cedillo: I borrowed the Neo Geo CD from him. And executive producer on further hardware news. Thanks man!
• inubass: Initial Neo Geo CD test when I didn't have the hardware
• herzmx: Has worked on hardware for the release of the suite in a physical cart for Neo Geo MVS! More news soon.

Versions for MVS/AES and Neo Geo CD are available at the itchio as always.
