additional information
info 0.36b1 [Bryan McPhail]

Bugs:
  • Sound emulation is wrong since 0.55. gangwars0110u1gre Augusto (ID 00369)
  • There's a problem in the 3rd stage, just before the boss. The placard that must appear in the pillar is shown wrong (something in Japanese?). It shows correctly in the bootleg (see inp file). Update by RansAckeR (0.102u2): This applies to gangwars not to gangwarb. The bootleg gangwarb correctly shows a sign saying "on the way" with an arrow. verified gangwars067gre2 Luja / RansAckeR (ID 01147)
WIP:
  • 0.61: Added dipswitches 'Timer Speed', 'Price to Continue' and 'Allow Continue'.
  • 0.59: Acho A. Tang fixed color in the 2nd last graphics bank. Fixed gfx2 rom loading.
  • 0.37b2: Bryan McPhail fixed cpu2 rom loading in Gang Wars.
  • 0.36b1: Bryan McPhail added Gang Wars (Alpha 1989) and clone (bootleg).
  • 17th July 1999: Bryan McPhail sent in drivers for Time Soldiers, Sky Soldiers, Sky Adventure and Gang Wars.
  • 6th June 1999: Bryan McPhail has gotten a nice new shiny computer science degree, and for a nice celebration he almost finished some drivers. Here are some pics of Gang Wars, Gold Medalist, Sky Adventure, Sky Soldiers and Time Soldiers, but don't expect to see these before 0.36b1.
