It is done! The game is fully dumped and already added to MAME for the next update. Apologies for the radio silence, it wasn't what we wanted, but it was what was necessary to make sure everything lined up perfect and was done right! Grab it here and "NAIL THAT RIFF!" archive.org/details/NAMC...

and one last thing! mentioned in the thread below is the exorbitant cost of this machine. it's been requested to stay private, but it isn't pretty! as it's a cost that's already been eaten, any extra money raised at this point will be on the material expenses to keep the machine running in public~

spotted at magfest earlier this year, tekken 7 will throw a warning if the machine has been on for over three days straight
