additional information
info 0.67 [Bryan McPhail]

0.58 [Bryan McPhail]

Bugs:
  • When I get to what I believe is the last guy on Dragon Gun, his energy bar decreases extra quick (especially with grenades)... when it is depleated, he just sits there and the game does nothing to continue. I let it run for quite a while too to make sure (save state). dragngun067yel Darkk
WIP:
  • 0.115u1: R. Belmont and Ryan Holtz fixed carry flag calculation for SUB/SBC/CMP family instructions in the ARM core. This fixed energy of last guy in Dragon Gun.
  • 0.111u5: Canim fixed Dragon Gun input port. Added dipswitches 'Debug Mode' and 'Reset'.
  • 0.111u2: Aaron Giles improved cycle timings in the ARM CPU core. Altered the DECO32 CPU clocks to be more realistic. Changed ARM CPU1 clock speed to 7MHz.
  • 0.102u2: Fixed rom names.
  • 0.70u4: Brian Troha fixed rom names in Dragon Gun.
  • 24th March 2003: Bryan McPhail sent in a major update to the Deco32 driver, making Dragon Gun playable, Locked 'n Loaded almost playable and Tattoo Assassins fully playable with graphics, thanks to Stiletto for tracking down a working boardset of this ultra rare game.
  • 0.67: Bryan McPhail added Dragon Gun (US) (Data East 1993).
  • 0.58: Bryan McPhail added Dragon Gun (US) (Testdriver). ARM CPU emulation [Bryan McPhail, Phil Stroffolino].
