additional information
info 0.36b6 [Bryan McPhail]

NOTE:
  • There are some invisable barrels in the first couple of levels, you can break them but not see them. Happened on the real machine. - Kala
WIP:
  • 0.104u8: Fixed rom names.
  • 0.95u1: Brian Troha removed some 'Unknown' dipswitches.
  • 0.95: Corrado Tomaselli added clone Hook (Japan).
  • 0.53: Bryan McPhail and Nicola Salmoria decrypted the sound CPU in Gunforce, Blade Master, Lethal Thunder, Undercover Cops, Mystic Riders, Major Title 2, Hook, R-Type Leo, In the Hunt and Perfect Soldiers.
  • 25th July 2001: Nicola Salmoria improved the IREM sound CPU emulation, which allows R-Type Leo to work without kludges, and he decrypted Hook and Mystic Riders.
  • 0.37b8: Added V30 (14318180 Hz) CPU2, YM2151 and GA20 with 3579545 Hz. Fixed gfx1 rom addresses.
  • 0.36RC2: Added dipswitches 'Any Button Starts', 'Flip Screen', 'Number of Players', 'Coin Slots', 'Coin Mode' and 'Coinage'.
  • 0.36b15: Added dipswitches 'Difficulty' and 'Demo Sounds'.
  • 0.36b9: Bryan McPhail and Nao fixed a few bugs in the NEC CPU core that caused problems in Hook, Gunforce, Lethal Thunder and maybe others.
  • 10th November 1999: With help from Nao, Bryan McPhail fixed NEC core problems and now Hook and Dream Soccer 94 are fully playable.
  • 0.36b6: Bryan McPhail added Hook (World) and clone (US). Crashes very soon into the game.
  • 24th September 1999: Oliver Bergmann sent in a NEC V20, V30, V33 cpu core, and Bryan McPhail submitted an Irem M92 driver with support for Blade Master, Gunforce, Lethal Thunder, Hook, Undercover Cops, R-type Leo, Major Title 2 and In The Hunt, but none of the games have sound because of an encrypted sound CPU.
