additional information
info 0.37b11 [Howie Cohen]

Bugs:
  • Colors of the first enemies you encounter are wrong. This may not be a bug but if you compare this one with both PlayChoice-10 and NES versions of Castlevania, the enemies don't have the same colors at all. This should be compared with the real cabinet. Nomax / StephenH (ID 01097)
WIP:
  • 0.66: Added dipswitches 'Bonus' and 'Unused'.
  • 0.60: Added 'Difficulty' dipswitch.
  • 0.37b11: Howie Cohen added Vs Castlevania (Konami 1987).
  • 6th January 2001: Howie Cohen fixed several bugs in the VSNES driver and added RBI Baseball, VS Baseball and VS Mahjong.
  • 1st January 2001: Howie Cohen finally submitted the long awaited VSNES driver, with most of the games having correct colors and sound.
