This project is effectively dead, it became Final Fight AE, neither rotwang or I currently have a desire to work on final fight snes.
As an update, we have worked on several hacks recently, street fight zero changer + qsound, mega man power battle + qsound, a dodonpachi trainer, and we recently wrapped up test cases for cps1 dma timing. There is talk of funding a four player hack for a cps2 game with a very precarious license, something like allen wrench vs pipe wrench.
