additional information
info 0.96u3 [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

WIP:
  • 0.126u5: Couriersud changed A. D. 2083 to load PROM data instead of using hardcoded values. Added new TMS5110 prom sn74s188.8a (BAD_DUMP). Changed region user1 to tms5110_ctrl.
  • 0.126u4: Pierpaolo Prazzoli removed the bad dumps flags from A. D. 2083.
  • 0.122u7: Replaced TMS5110 sound with TMS5100A.
  • 0.122u4: AD2083 improvements [Couriersud]: Completed TMS5110A code. Working speech synthesis. Documented analysis done on pcb pictures and findings. As a consequence, marked all sound roms as BAD DUMP. Created sound driver in scramble.c. Added 'Cabinet' dipswitch (ad2083_0111u5gra).
  • 0.104u7: Aaron Giles fixed A. D. 2083 (game stops at boot - happened from 0.104u3).
  • 0.96u3: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added A. D. 2083 (Midcoin 1983).
  • 20th April 2005: Pierpaolo Prazzoli - Anno Domini has wrong colors (the color prom we have needs to be redumped) and it's missing sound. If anyone is interested this runs on Scramble hardware with changes to support more sprites...
  • 16th April 2005: Pierpaolo Prazzoli - Anno Domini 2083 (Midcoin 1983) looks like galaxian hardware, still a lot to do.
