additional information
info 0.02 [Nicola Salmoria, Ville Laitinen]

WIP:
  • 0.123u3: Zsolt Vasvari cleaned up the video driver, mainly via tilemap conversion. This fixes the ape sprite positioning in Crazy Kong - no more gap between feet and platform. Swapped gfx1 roms ($1000, 2000).
  • 0.122u8: Changed description to 'Crazy Kong Part II'.
  • 0.95: Tom Girardot and Joe Magiera added clone Big Kong (bootleg).
  • 0.85u2: Inigo Luja fixed backwards controls in Crazy Kong.
  • 0.84u1: Lee and Martin White added clone Crazy Kong (Alternative levels).
  • 2nd November 2003: Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed the wrong sprites in Crazy Kong (Scramble hardware).
  • 21st March 1999: Zsolt Vasvari has combined Crazy Kong (scramble hardware) with the main Scramble driver.
  • 0.35b1: David Winter added clone Crazy Kong (Orca bootleg). This version runs on an Orca board.
  • 0.31: Mike Coates added clone Monkey Donkey (bootleg 1981).
  • 0.30: Lee Taylor added clone Crazy Kong (Alca bootleg).
  • 0.29: Accurate colors in Crazy Kong.
  • 0.28: Merged Crazy Climber and Crazy Kong driver and vidhrdw driver.
  • 0.27: Added clone Crazy Kong (alternate version).
  • 0.25: Added Crazy Kong (Jeutel bootleg).
  • 0.18: Added clone Crazy Kong (Scramble Hardware) - music doesn't work correctly. Fixed bug in the 8910 emulation which caused noise to be played in Crazy Kong when you jumped over a barrel.
  • 0.13: Nicola modified the 8910 emulator to set the clock frequency at run time, so sound in Crazy Climber and Crazy Kong is now back as normal.
  • 0.12: Doug Jefferys provided the color PROMs for Crazy Kong, so colors are now 100% accurate (with the possible exception of Kong itself, which uses a separate palette). Since the 8910 emulator doesn't allow to set the clock frequency at runtime, Nicola temporarily switched to using the default one. This affects sound in Crazy Climber, Crazy Kong and Bagman. Let Nicola know whether it's better or worse than before.
  • 0.04: New experimental AY-3-8910 sound emulation code provided by Andy Milne. This sounds better in some places and worse in others. It is used by Crazy Climber, Crazy Kong and Bagman.
  • 0.02: Nicola Salmoria added Crazy Kong (Crazy Climber hardware) (Falcon 1981) - some problems with sound. Crazy Kong emulation set up by Ville Laitinen.
