0.36b1 [Phil Stroffolino, Carlos A. Lozano]

WIP:
  • 0.127u2: Nicola Salmoria merged driver with SNK, with all resulting fixes (removed hacks, correct shadows, scroll offsets etc). Fixed palette decoding of early SNK games (Mad Crasher). The least significan bits were assigned incorrectly. Replaced Namco sound with SNK Wave (8MHz). Fixed emulation of the "SNK Wave" custom sound and made it into a proper sound core. Fixed sp16_tiles rom loading. Changed visible area to 288x216 and VSync to 60Hz.
  • 0.124u2: Added 'Scroll Speed' dipswitch.
  • 0.93: Added clock parameter to Namco sound (31250 Hz).
  • 0.72: Acho A. Tang fixed Mad Crasher bad background, sound effects and foreground priority. Changed visible area to 256x216.
  • 0.63: Changed cpu1 roms to 'GOOD'. Mad Crasher fails the ROM test, but ROMs are verified to be good.
  • 0.59: Added dipswitches 'Unused SW 1-0', 'Bonus Life', 'Bonus Life Occurence', 'Unused SW 2-6' and 'Unknown SW 2-7'.
  • 23rd January 2002: Smitdogg submitted a fix for the Mad Crasher dipswitch settings.
  • 0.57: Changed cpu1 roms ($0, 2000, 4000) to 'ROM NEEDS REDUMP'.
  • 0.37b12: Changed VSync to 60.606060Hz.
  • 26th July 1999: Phil Stroffolino sent in an update to Marvin's Maze, Mad Crasher and Vanguard II with improved sound.
  • 23rd July 1999: Phil Stroffolino sent in a driver for Mad Crasher.
  • 0.36b2: Phil Stroffolino added Mad Crasher (SNK 1984).
