additional information
info 0.63 [Zsolt Vasvari]

0.37b10 [Guru]

SETUP:
  • Use 'Game Select' in the dipswitches menu to select Galaxian or Ghost Muncher
WIP:
  • 0.124u1: Aaron Giles fixed duplicated inputs.
  • 0.108u5: Canim implemented some port conditions for Ghostmuncher Galaxian, so you only see the relevant dipswitches for the active game.
  • 0.63: Zsolt Vasvari added Ghostmuncher Galaxian (bootleg).
  • 14th December 2002: Zsolt Vasvari fixed the Ghostmuncher and Galaxian combination to work as one game as it should be.
  • 26th December 2000: Guru - Redumped the colour prom from my Ghostmuncher PCB (about 1 week ago). Both those roms should be floating quite freely around the net by now. You should see those hopefully in the next release of MAME.
  • 16th December 2000: Guru fixed the Ghost Muncher colors with a new color PROM.
  • 0.37b10: Added Ghost Muncher (bootleg 1981).
  • 31st July 2000: Guru - Dumped Ghostmuncher (Galaxian hardware).
