NOTE:
  • When this set was added to MAME, it started using the Japanese clone's gfx ROMs, assuming they are were the same in both sets. The gfx ROMs for the world version weren't dumped and most likely were different, regardless of Capcom's track record. Check the dump notes in Guru's Dynasty Wars dump that hasn't yet been added. Glitches happen currently, for example: There's a bit of graphical garbage at the final score tally (should be "" then nothing, since there is no Level 9) if you've reached Level 8. Score is displayed properly at the end of any previous level where you happen to get to Level 8 (see snapshot). dynwar067gre, big_lenny_c / Smitdogg the roms being used by that version have been dumped from the correct board now. If the glitches are still present it's either a case of 'lazy Capcom English translation' or general CPS1 weirdness. Haze
  • The content of the smaller roms in this set is 99% identical, just japanese program roms and an alt board layout to the parent dynwar set.
WIP:
  • 0.126u5: Added A-board PLDs (buf1, ioa1, prg1, rom1 and sou1).
  • 0.124u5: Corrado Tomaselli added clone Dynasty Wars (US set 2).
  • 0.124u3: Changed description of 'Dynasty Wars (World)' to 'Dynasty Wars (US)'.
  • 0.86u4: Renamed (dw) to (dynwar) and (dwj) to (dynwarj). Added new 512k cpu1 and gfx1 roms to Dynasty Wars (World).
  • 0.59: David Haywood added Dynasty Wars (World).
  • 26th February 2002: David Haywood added the World version of Dynasty Wars to the CPS-1 driver.
  • 0.34b8: Changed description to 'Tenchi wo Kurau (Japan)'.
  • 0.34b7: Changed description to 'Dynasty Wars / Tenchi o Kurau (Japan)'.
  • 0.34b6: Changed description to 'Dynasty Wars'. Renamed (dynwarsj) to (dwj).
  • 0.34b2: Dynasty Wars works (actually it was already working, it's just that the dipswitches had Freeze on by default).
  • 0.34b1: Paul Leaman added Dynasty Wars (Japanese) (Capcom 1989). But the game doesn't work.
