additional information
info 0.36b2 [Aaron Giles]

NOTE:
  • Batman has some problems with sprite priority. Pictures are from early levels, problems usually occur when Batman is jumping up over something (see sceenshots). Sadly, not a bug. The priority system for this game was primitive. I have the original PCB and can confirm that the priorities there suck just as bad. Aaron Giles
Bugs:
  • Possible glitch on some of the ending screens. Smitdogg (ID 02356)
WIP:
  • 0.123u6: Couriersud fixed fails to load autosave state.
  • 0.122u4: Changed M6502 CPU2 clock speed to 1789772 Hz, YM2151 to 3579545 Hz and OKI6295 to 1193181 Hz.
  • 0.114u2: Aaron Giles and Couriersud added more accurate video timing to most of the Atari 68000-era games. The parameters are from published specs, not derived. The board uses a VAD chip to generate video signals. Changed VSync to 59.922743 Hz.
  • 0.114: Couriersud added save state to Batman and general save state support to the atarijsa and atarigen modules.
  • 0.105u4: Aaron Giles added PLD dumps to Batman. Updated address map (verified from schematics and GALs). Added plds ($0, 200, 400, 600, 800, a00, c00, e00 - gal16v8a-136085).
  • 0.37b15: Fixed gfx2/3 rom loading. Changed M6502 CPU2 clock speed to 1789500, YM2151 to 3579000 and OKI6295 to 9037 Hz. Fixed gfx2/3 rom addresses.
  • 0.36RC1: Changed 68000 CPU1 clock speed to 14318180 Hz, M6502 to 1789772 Hz, YM2151 to 3579545 Hz and OKI6295 to 9039 Hz.
  • 0.36b2: Aaron Giles added Batman (Atari Games 1991).
