additional information
info 0.85u2 [Brian Troha]

0.37b11 [Bryan McPhail]

Bugs:
  • The music in tcobra2 is in full stereo, but all the sound effects are either centered or play from the left speaker only, depending on the sound effect (e.g. Player 1's shots come from the left speaker while Player 2's shots are centered). tcobra20104u3gre1 AWJ
  • There are stray flashing pixels on the bottom left of the helicopter after starting a game. tcobra20104u3gre2 Twisty / AWJ
WIP:
  • 0.85u2: Brian Troha added Twin Cobra 2 (World) and clone (US).
  • 0.37b11: Bryan McPhail added Kyukyoku Tiger 2 (Japan) (Taito 1995). Issues: Playfields are 1 off in the x-axis.
  • 16th January 2001: Bryan McPhail fixed some memory corrupting bugs in the Taito F3 driver.
  • 15th January 2001: Bryan McPhail finally submitted his Taito F3 driver, which is not graphically perfect and crashes hard sometimes but has complete ES5505 sound emulation thanks to Aaron Giles, Ian Schmidt and R. Belmont.
