Hmm alotta gfx fixes for both the games in the ddragon3 driver over the years picking the correct ones needed is always the tricky bit as from experience some fixes are to sort bugs created in later builds which our older core will not require.....

However im thinking this one and then another right after it to sort the Combat Tribes might be the best bets........

0.97u2: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added priorities and fixed 3rd level in The Combatribes. 0.97u1: Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed tilemaps and sprites in Double Dragon 3.

Of course a video so we can see the issues and know what levels are affected would have been nice ya know.

[Cibomatto2002]

I will make a video sorry about that.

[arcadez2003]

I will make a video sorry about that.

Well why not just update to the latest build and see if some small changes im about to make sort the problems...

i will try to update later tonight i'm not at home right now. thanks for your time on this.

here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFeKJ30nhQo

[Cibomatto2002]

that fixed it thanks.

[arcadez2003]

Nae worries im glad it's sorted however i'll likely need to give The Combat Tribes a whirl to make sure noting broke in that game as they both share the same video code, but outta the two games that is the one i'd prefer to be playing..

PS have you tried the Japan version of Double Dragon 3 it has many gameplay changes over the USA set.

[Cibomatto2002]

No I have never tried the Japan set I will try it.

[arcadez2003]

Here are the diffs in the Japan version.......

The Japanese version discards the weapon shops completely from the game. Instead, the game asks the player to select from the 4 character types available when they begin (Lee, Chin, Urquidez or Oyama). The one-armed stand head-butt and the hurricane kick are available as part of the default moveset, but the hurricane kick is made hard to execute. While controlling one of the Lee brothers, a nunchaku or a sword can be found on the floor in certain stages. The first stage is slightly re-arranged, with the starting point moved in front of the Power Records store and the conveyor belt inside the warehouse removed.
