additional information

info	0.36b1 [Phil Stroffolino] WIP: 0.127u2: Nicola Salmoria merged Marvin's Maze with SNK driver, with all resulting fixes (removed hacks, correct shadows, scroll offsets etc). Replaced Namco sound with SNK Wave (8MHz). Fixed emulation of the "SNK Wave" custom sound and made it into a proper sound core. Fixed palette decoding of early SNK games (Marvin's Maze). The least significan bits were assigned incorrectly. Fixed sp16_tiles rom loading. Changed visible area to 216x288 and VSync to 60Hz. 0.124u5: Robiza fixed screen flip support. 0.124: Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed Player 2 mode (the maze remains unchanged). 0.93: Added clock parameter to Namco sound (31250 Hz). 0.37b12: Changed VSync to 60.606060Hz. 12th August 1999: Marco Cassili fixed some dipswitches in Marvin's Maze driver. Phil Stroffolino fixed Marvin's Maze from crashing if sound is not enabled. 0.36b2: Added NAMCO sound and changed palettesize from 1024 to 288. 26th July 1999: Phil Stroffolino sent in an update to Marvin's Maze, Mad Crasher and Vanguard II with improved sound. 24th July 1999: Phil Stroffolino changed the way in which Marvin's Maze's colors work. 0.36b2: Added Namco sound and changed palettesize to 288 colors. 0.36b1: Phil Stroffolino and Carlos A. Lozano added Marvin's Maze (SNK 1983). Issues: Unknown (constant) video registers (probably scrolling).
