Bugs:
  • kncljoe and clones: Knuckle Joe and clones have two graphics glitches just after the first boss battle. The first one is during the motorcycles ride, the second one is immediately after their passage. You can see them in the two attached snapshots. LastNinja2 (ID 01654)
WIP:
  • 0.127u4: Aaron Giles fixed missing AY-3-8910A sound effects in Knuckle Joe.
  • 0.123u5: Tomasz Slanina fixed missing music in Knuckle Joe. Changed Z80 CPU1 clock speed to 6MHz. Replaced 2nd AY-3-8910A and the 2x MSM5205 sound with 2x SN76489 (3579545 Hz).
  • 0.123u2: Changed palettesize to 256 colors.
  • 12th February 2008: Guru - More arrivals today! The box up contains Knuckle Joe (Taito 1985) bootleg. Thanks to GP-Lee.
  • 0.122u8: Fixed cpu2 rom address to $6000.
  • 0.122u7: Changed M6803 CPU2 clock speed to 3579545 Hz.
  • 0.72u2: Acho A. Tang changed Z80 CPU clock speed to 5.5MHz and fixed the following problems: You can't play anymore after you die(clock speed too low, check XTAL), scrolling in bike levels(scroll register overflow), sprites disappearing at left screen edge(bad clipping) and artifacts in stage 3 and others(clear sprite mem at bank switch?).
  • 0.60: Added clone Bone Crusher (bootleg 1985).
  • 2nd April 2002: Smitdogg Jones added a bootleg of Knuckle Joe called Bone Crusher.
  • 0.59: Fixed dipswitches and Z80 CPU1 clock speed to 6MHz - game works now. Added dipswitches 'Free Play', 'Unused SW B-0', 'Bonus Life' and 'Difficulty?'.
  • 0.37b8: Changed VSync to 60Hz.
- 0.37b7: Ernesto Corvi added Knuckle Joe (set 1) (Seibu Kaihatsu 1985 (Taito license)) and clone (set 2). TODO: Lots of unknown dipswitches.
  • 25th May 2000: Phil Stroffolino fixed a lot of bugs in Knuckle Joe, but colors are still wrong and there is no sound.
  • 20th May 2000: Ernesto Corvi sent in a preliminary Knuckle Joe driver - sprites are garbled and there is no sound.
