Worked on the mamedev/mame repository, focusing on improving emulation accuracy and data integrity through targeted C++ development. Delivered features such as explicit input mappings for arcade titles and reconfigured input handling to enhance gameplay fidelity. Addressed multiple metadata and ROM data issues by correcting game titles, region descriptions, licensing, and year data, ensuring accurate cataloging and reliable startup behavior. Applied skills in code correction, debugging, and emulator development to resolve boot loops, standardize metadata, and fix ROM loading for specific game variants. Collaborated across modules and maintained clear documentation, contributing to more robust game emulation and maintainable codebases.

February 2026 (2026-02): Delivered metadata accuracy fixes in mamedev/mame, focusing on correct year data and standardized region descriptions. Implemented cross-driver corrections including The Pirates of Dark Water year fix and Slap Fight region description corrections, with MT09132 adjustments. Changes touched snesb.cpp, taito_f2.cpp, and slapfght.cpp. Result: improved catalog data quality, searchability, and user trust; demonstrated strong C++ driver-level patching and cross-module collaboration within the MAME project.

September 2025: Delivered explicit input mappings for Namco Race On! and Angler King in MAME to enable accurate joystick, paddle, and pedal interactions, improving gameplay accessibility and control fidelity (commit ef0ffe8b1728df7ee92c22734d20046b986eeb5b). Resolved Monster Maulers UAA startup boot loop by correcting default NVRAM data and updating the NVRAM filename and CRC/SHA1 checksums (commit 7c58a5147b2b132e1e91c1271a23c5f2b5c8d7cc). These changes reduce startup failures and improve emulator reliability, with clear ownership by sjy96525. Technologies demonstrated include input mapping design, NVRAM data management, and integrity validation; business value includes smoother user experience and lower maintenance risk.
