additional information
info 0.37b6 [Luca Elia]

Bugs:
  • Clone exerizrb: Recently I have played an Exerizer bootleg pcb and I have noticed there is a parallax effect missing in mame. Some group of stars placed horizontally should scroll with a 3-4 layer parallax effect. In mame those groups of stars are placed on the same layer and scroll togheter with it with no parallax. exerizrb0102u1ora Kold666
  • Player 2's controls are player 1's control in Cocktail mode/Flip screen. skyfox056gra Karasu / cpukett (ID 00090)
WIP:
  • 0.126u3: Fabio Priuli fixed issue with credits input in Sky Fox / Exerizer.
  • 0.125u7: Couriersud fixed Coin 1 mapped twice in Sky Fox.
  • 0.72: Added 'Difficulty' dipswitch.
  • 0.37b6: Luca Elia added Sky Fox (Jaleco 1987 (Nichibutsu USA License)) and clone Exerizer (Japan) (bootleg). The background rendering is entirely guesswork.
  • 8th June 2000: Luca Elia sent in a driver for Sky Fox / Exerizer.
