NOTES:

- Driver based on Brad Oliver's MESS implementation of the NES.

- Needed roms: Babel no Tou (Namco 198?), Family Boxing (Namco/Woodplace 198?), Family Stadium '87 (Namco 1987), Family Stadium '88 (Namco 1988), Family Tennis (Namco 198?), Japan version of Vs. Tennis (1984), Japan version of Vs. Soccer (1985), Japan version of Vs. Super Mario Bros. (1986), Madoula no Tsubasa (Sunsoft 198?), Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium (Namco 1986?), Quest of Ki (Namco/Game Studio 198?), Skate Kids (Two-Bit Score 198?; hack of Vs.

Bugs:

- vsnes.c games (at least excitebk): Colors are wrong. Mr. Do (ID 00803)

- vsslalom, machridr, possibly other vsnes.c driving games: In Slalom and Mach Rider the road has glitches (lines on the side) most visable when you make a turn. This is not correct (see snapshots). vsnes055gre Karasu

- smgolf, smgolfj, ladygolf: There is a misplaced line at the top of the screen (see snapshot) smgolf061gre DCisTHEbest
