0.34b2 [Paul Leaman]

NOTE:
  • The bootleg version pangb contains opcodes and data decrypted separately, plus a few patches here and there. They disabled sound in attract mode (there isn't a setting to do that, unlike Buster Bros.), changed the lives option from 1,2,3,4 to 1,3,4,6, and changed the copyright year from 1989 to 1990.
WIP:
  • 0.122u1: Corrado Tomaselli verified some CPU clocks of original boards using a frequency counter, changed Pang M6295 clock from 990khz to 1Mhz.
  • 0.119u4: David Haywood added clone Pang (bootleg, set 3). This bootleg has different sound hardware, the sound program is the same as 'rebus' by microhard. I suspect it was produced by the same company as 'spangbl'.
  • 0.119u3: David Haywood added clone Pang (bootleg, set 2).
  • 0.101u3: Fixed cpu1 roms addresses in clone (bootleg).
  • 0.63: All new, much better, YM2413 emulation [Jarek Burczynski].
  • 0.61: New YM-2413 emulator [Fabio R. Schmidlin, Charles Mac Donald].
  • 1st February 2001: Sean Young integrated Mitsutaka Okazaki's YM2413 emulator.
  • 0.37b4: Added new cpu1 roms ($0, 80000).
  • 0.36b1: Yasuhiro Ogawa added clone Pomping World (Japan). Fixed sound1 rom length from 64 to 128k.
  • 0.35RC1: Brian Lewis and Andrea Mazzoleni added new tweaked VGA modes: 384x240 (for CPS1, Pang etc.), 384x256 (for Lode Runner etc.), 336x240 (for Gauntlet and other Atari games), 320x240 (for NeoGeo and others).
  • 0.35b4: Added Pang (World) and clone Buster Bros. (US). The old version, Pang (bootleg), contains opcodes and data decrypted separately, plus a few patches here and there. They disabled sound in attract mode (there isn't a setting to do that, unlike Buster Bros), changed the lives option from 1,2,3,4 to 1,3,4,6, and changed the copyright year from 1989 to 1990. Changed Z80 CPU1 clock speed to 8MHz.
  • 0.34b5: Added YM-2413 (3579580 Hz) sound.
  • 0.34b3: Juan Carlos Lorente added hiscore save in Pang.
  • 0.34b2: Paul Leaman added Pang (Mitchell 1989) and clone Buster Bros (Capcom 1989) (Testdriver).

history Pang (c) 1989 Mitchell.


1 or 2 players control safari suit-wearing characters armed with harpoon guns and must destroy bouncing balls. When hit, h balls break down into smaller fragments, in a similar fashion to Atari's 1979 classic, "Asteroids". The players can only fire virtually upwards, but can move right and left, as well as climbing the ladders that appear on many of the levels. Each screen features a backdrop of a famous world landmark. All bubbles must be destroyed before players can advance to the next screen.
