There are only 2 arenas in the game, Goro's Lair and The Pit. Still working on The Pit ^^

OK, I completed it myself :) My screenshot autostitcher works better than I'd expected here.

Oh, I was almost finishing it :p

Going to MK3 now.

I have a question. I was almost finishing the GG maps for this game, and I enabled the tilemap viewer, and the stage is bigger than what the screen shows.

But even if you jump or crouch, those parts of the stage never appear at the screen. Should I finish the map only using what the screen shows (like picture 1), or should I add everything from the tilemap viewer (like picture 2)?

It looks like the game was developed simultaneously for both systems (which was not unusual) and simply changes the HUD location and palette for the GG. However, there also seems to be more detail in the GG graphics so you can't palette-swap from the SMS ones. If I was mapping it I would probably try to get the full area (for example, some of the SMS maps are missing the leftmost or rightmost 8 pixels). However, there is a strong argument that if you can't see it in the game, it does not need to be mapped...

Here's a tip: in Meka, open the Memory Editor and switch to VREG view. Edit the value at address 09 (the second-to-last value) to adjust the vertical scrolling. Position 08 affects horizontal scrolling, I don't know if there is a horizontal gap too.

If the game resets the value as it runs, you can try using F12 to freeze the game, then edit the scrolling value, and then press Alt+F12 to run for a single frame which may be enough to avoid it changing back. Otherwise, some ROM hacking is needed.

Hello ^^

I uploaded 2 versions:
- a map using what only the screen shows;
- a map using the full area.

Just choose what's the best option for SMS Power, or add both if you want :p

Goro's Lair (expanded)

I'd expect them to be a multiple of 8 (or 16) pixels in width and height. How did you "expand" them? Tilemap grabs or scrolling register adjustment?

I used your tip. Edited the adress in the memory editor, to reach the top screen, took some screenshots, and then I repeated it with the bottom part.
