info

0.118u5 [Luca Elia]

NOTE:

Shift-F3 for hardware reset doesn't work. Play the game a bit. Then, in the middle of the game, try shift-F3. Wait for the boot-up screen to disappear, and lo and behold, the game reappears just as you left it. nightsoil (ID 01793)

Bugs:

When the dip switches are set for keyboard mode, the game does not work right. (Try to declare chi, pon, etc., and you will see what I mean). With the dip switches set for joystick mode, however, the game seems to play OK, but the controls are a little counterintuitive. (You need to use the second button to declare chi, etc.). nightsoil (ID 01792)

WIP:

0.122u8: Replaced H8/3002 CPU1 with H8/3044.
0.118u5: Luca Elia added Bishou Jan (Subsino 1999).
22nd April 2007: Luca Elia - I've been working on two games by Taiwanese Subsino. They use the Hitachi H8/3044 CPU, which features an undumped internal ROM, and whose emulation in MAME is somewhat incomplete. Add to that a bit of protection, and the prospects of getting the games to work were limited. Fortunately, though, it looks like the internal ROM is not critical, as I got Bishou Jan (Smiling Jan) (Subsino 1999) to work, albeit with some issues. The video hardware is tilemap based. At the moment there is no sound: the sound chip is unknown, nor do I see sound related writes. Furthermore I had to slightly patch the interrupt routines, and skip what appears to be protection checks. I also had to fix/add the emulation of several instructions in the CPU core. The other Subsino game is Last Fighting, a Bomberman clone currently in MAME as non-working. Same CPU but different, blitter based, video hardware. I'm starting to implement that and, even if much work is still needed, I'm now hopeful to get it to run.
25th September 2006: Guru - Bishou Jan (Smiling Jan) arrived a few days ago from Japan with the latest PCB shipment. Thanks to Dyq and BNathan for the funds used to purchase most of the Mahjong games.
