info 0.36b8 [Keith Wilkins]

0.35b10 [Keith Wilkins, Phil Stroffolino]

Bugs:
  • Clone assaultp: The skill selection screen disappears before the player can make a choice. MarcoNadal (ID 00771)
WIP:
  • 0.69a: C 68k core is now default, this fixes collisions in Assault.
  • 0.37b3: Maurizio Zanello added a alternate control system in Assault, only available when cheats are enabled.
  • 0.36b8: Keith Wilkins added Assault (Namco 1988) and clones (Japan) and Assault Plus (Japan).
  • 12th October 1999: Yasuhiro Ogawa fixed Assault input ports. Keith Wilkins sent in another Namco System 2 update with controls working in most games, and also fixed a lot of the graphics bugs. The playable games are now Assault, Ordyne, Mirai Ninja, Phelios, Valkyrie No Densetsu, Finest Hour, Burning Force, Marvel Land, Dragon Saber and Cosmo Gang the Video.
  • 7th October 1999: Keith Wilkins finally got palette added to the Namco System 2 driver, but only Assault is almost working, and even that one needs controls sorted out. And a lot of optimizations are needed too.
  • 1st October 1999: Keith Wilkins sent in a big Namco System 2 update with almost correct graphics (Zoom / Rotate graphics layers are working, but with wrong colors and some mirroring problems). Of the System 2 games, Assault is fully working except for graphics and controls problems.
  • 0.36b6: Added clones Assault (set 2) and Assault Plus (Testdriver).
  • 0.35b10: Added Assault (Testdriver).
