additional information
info 0.35b2 [Nicola Salmoria]

SERVICE MODE:
  • Keep P1 button 1 pressed during boot to have access to a wider range of options in service mode.
WIP:
  • 0.124u4: Improvements to Aero Fighters (bootleg set 2) [Robiza]: Fixed BG1 and BG2 offset. Fixed sprites. Promoted to "working" (NO SOUND).
  • 0.124u3: Robiza added clone Aero Fighters (bootleg set 2).
  • 0.124u2: Aero Fighters (bootleg) improvements [Robiza]: Sprite offset are now correct. Split spriteram in two parts. Identified last sprite for the two parts and promoted to "working" (no sound).
  • 0.124u1: Robiza fixed clone Aero Fighters (bootleg): Fixed spriteram3 (previous value was too high and in the "city" level some build disappear. Sprite gfx bank (previously some sprite appear right and some sprite was wrong). Fixed perfectly the sprite zoom. Removed multisprite support; in the bootleg aren't present.
  • 0.122u1: Corrado Tomaselli modified the Aero Fighters sound Z80 to 5Mhz.
  • 0.95u3: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added clone Aero Fighters (bootleg).
  • 0.37b5: Added clone Sonic Wings (Japan).
  • 0.35b11: Nicola Salmoria added clone Aero Fighters (Turbo Force hardware set 2).
  • 0.35b8: Nicola Salmoria added clone Aero Fighters (Turbo Force hardware). Replaced the 2x sound2 roms with a 1MB rom.
  • 0.35b6: Nicola Salmoria added clone Sonic Wings (Video System 1992) (Testdriver). All roms apart from V1, V2 and V3 were soldered, Nicola uses the ones from aerofgt which are very likely different!
  • 0.35b3: Nicola Salmoria added prite zoom support in Aero Fighters.
  • 0.35b2: Nicola Salmoria added Aero Fighters (Video System Co. 1992). Issues: The plane in the attract mode animation is missing one wing. Actually it's there, but it's misplaced. The ship explosion in the attract mode animation is jagged at the four corners. This doesn't happen in the original. Both of the above might be caused by some hardware zoom support. There are graphics for different tiles (Sonic Wings, The Final War) but I haven't found a way to display them - different program, maybe.
