Bugs:

karatevs, kchamp, kchampvs: Sound bug - no sound effect plays when first credit is input (works for subsequent credits). Tafoid: Clone set karatedo does give sound for the first credit as opposed to the other 3 sets that do not. Shifty (ID 01130)
kchampvs, karatevs: Tested with 0.115 and as far back as .37b15 (first windows release). Boot the game and let the demonstration progress to the screen where the two fighters trade kicks and punches but do not hit each other. You'll notice the BGM continues to play fine while there are regular sound effects, but there is a very noticable pause only when there is a speech effect used. You can hear more of the tune (longer into it) when you do not have speech effects in the demo (try kchamp and karatedo). Tafoid (ID 00129)

WIP:

0.123u1: Zsolt Vasvari removed color tables from Karate Champ. Added resnet.c color computations where appropriate.
0.36b12: Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 3MHz and the 2x AY-8910 to 1.5MHz.
0.36b9: Takahiro Nogi added clone Karate Dou (Japan). Karate Champ (US VS version) and Taisen Karate Dou (Japan VS version) are now clones of Karate Champ (US). Renamed (karatedo) to (karatevs). Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 3.5MHz and the 2x AY-8910 to 1MHz. Added dipswitches 'Difficulty' and 'Cabinet'.
11th November 1999: Takahiro Nogi added another Karate Champ romset.
0.34b8: Changed description of clone 'Karate Champ (VS Version - Japanese)' to 'Taisen Karate Dou (VS version)'.
0.34b4: Ernesto Corvi added Karate Champ (Data East 1984).
0.34b3: Ernesto Corvi fixed speech in Karate Champ. Changed description of clone 'Taisen Karate Dou' to 'Karate Champ (JAP version)'.
0.34b2: Ernesto Corvi added Karate Champ (VS version) (Data East 1984) and clone 'Taisen Karate Dou'.
