additional information
info 0.67 [R. Belmont, Phil Stroffolino, Olivier Galibert]

WIP:
  • 5th June 2003: R. Belmont fixed the scratchy reverb effect that was apparent in some songs in Gokujou Parodius and Sexy Parodius, and he corrected the sound chip internal timer frequency.
  • 0.67: R. Belmont and Phil Stroffolino added Gokujyou Parodius (Ver JAD) (Konami 1994) and clone Fantastic Journey.
  • 16th March 2003: R. Belmont fixed the intro screen graphics glitches in Sexy Parodius and Gokujou Parodius.
  • 11th March 2003: R. Belmont sent in a Konami System GX driver supporting Lethal Enforcers 2, Gokujou Parodius, Taisen Puzzle-Dama, Sexy Parodius, Daisu-Kiss and Taisen Tokkae-Dama.
  • 10th March 2002: R. Belmont reported some more progress with the Konami GX system driver. Alpha blending is working fine and the priorities are sorted out.
  • 17th August 2001: R. Belmont sent in some pictures of a work-in-progress Konami System GX driver. The sound is fully emulated but there are some graphics problems in the 3 games that are working (Gokujou Parodius, Twinbee Yahoo! and Sexy Parodius) and the rest of the games suffer from unemulated protection.
LEVELS: 9 (8 + special stage)
