info

0.119u3 [David Haywood]

0.68 [Jarek Burczynski]

NOTE:

The Cannon Ball dump is a mess. The roms 11n and 11k seem to be bad dumps, the second half should probably be sprite data. Comparing to (set 2) rom 11l and 11h are unnecessary and are actually from Le Bagnard (set 1), as is rom 5m. Rom 5n id is unknown, but it also is from bagnard with some patches.

WIP:

0.120u1: Documented information about the various Cannonball sets [Stephane Humbert]. Cannon Ball (Pacman Hardware) is now the parent set. Changed description of 'Cannon Ball (Crazy Climber hardware)' to 'Cannon Ball (bootleg on Crazy Climber hardware, set 1)' and 'Cannon Ball (set 2)' to 'Cannon Ball (bootleg on Crazy Climber hardware, set 2)'. Added dipswitches 'Display', 'Lives' and 3x 'Unused'. Removed 'Unknown' dipswitches.
0.119u4: Rob Walmsley added color PROMs for clone Cannon Ball (Pacman Hardware). These give some ugly colours, but should be correct.
0.119u3: David Haywood added clone Cannon Ball (Pacman Hardware).
0.114u3: Couriersud fixed 'Cabinet' dipswitch.
0.110u5: Mamesick cleaned up the Crazy Climber driver, replacing hacks for Cannon Ball with a separate video update callback. This fixed the missing sprites.
0.98u4: Dave Widel added clone Cannonball set 2 (TV Game Gruenberg 1985).
0.68: Jarek Burczynski added Cannon Ball (Crazy Climber hardware) (Soft 1985). Some gfx problems (bad ROMs?).
31st July 2005: Dave Widel - Andy Welburn found a Cannon Ball running on a Falcon board, this is what it looks like in MAME. Notice the sprites, whole death sequence is ripped from Pac-Man with a face added.
10th April 2003: Jarek Burczynski resubmitted the Cannon Ball addition in the Crazy Climber driver.
12th March 2003: Jarek Burczynski added Cannon Ball to the Crazy Climber driver.
8th January 2003: Jarek Burczynski started working on a driver for Cannon Ball (not the Atari prototype nor the Yun Sung games that have the same name).
