additional information
info 0.12 [Nicola Salmoria]

WIP:
  • 15th March 2000: Zsolt Vasvari fixed the star field in Jump Bug.
  • 0.35b9: Zsolt Vasvari emulated the protection in Jump Bug (Rock-ola). Some ROM splitup too, and fixed palettesize to 97 colors. Renamed (jbugsega) to (jumpbugb).
  • 26th March 1999: Zsolt Vasvari merged Jump Bug with Galaxian and emulated the protection.
  • 0.29: Juan Carlos Lorente added hiscore save in Jump Bug.
  • 0.26: Nicola fixed Jump Bug driver which is now perfect. Colors are still wrong without proms.
  • 0.18: Fixed bugs in the Jump Bug sound driver which caused page faults when run under DOS.
  • 0.16: Added clone Jump Bug (bootleg). Drivers provided by Richard Davies and Brad Oliver. It's actually a bootleg with the protection checks removed. The driver supports sound. Issues: "jumpbug" doesn't work - the protection is not emulated. "jbugsega" has the protection checks removed, so it works. Graphics are wrong - the game has multiple character banks, not emulated yet.
  • 0.12: Preliminary support for Jump Bug (Rock-ola 1981). It uses a modified Scramble driver, the hardware seems to be similar. It's not playable (the input bits are not even mapped), and resets after a few seconds.
PLAY INSTRUCTIONS:
  • Control car by rhythmically bouncing it with joystick.
  • Score points and rewards by jumping on money bag, diamonds or cloud.
  • Score points by shooting enemies (Extra points for shooting joker).
  • Avoid loss of car by evading enemies, missiles and erupting volcanos.
  • Gain one extra car for 48 rewards. Score bonus points for extra rewards.
LEVELS: 2
