additional information
info 0.05 [Nicola Salmoria, Lionel Theunissen]

WIP:
  • 0.124u1: Aaron Giles fixed wrong screen offset in clones Gingateikoku No Gyakushu (bootleg set 1) and (bootleg set 2).
  • 0.109u5: Brian Troha added clone Space Battle (bootleg set 1). Renamed (spacbatt) to (spacbat2).
  • 0.76u1: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added clone Sky Raiders (bootleg 1980).
  • 21st October 2003: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added Sky Raiders, a bootleg of Uni War S, to the Galaxian driver.
  • 0.53: Added clone Gingateikoku No Gyakushu (bootleg, set 2).
  • 0.37b16: Added clone Gingateikoku No Gyakushu (bootleg).
  • 0.35: UniWar S is now original. Changed description from 'Uniwars' to 'UniWar S'.
  • 0.35RC2: Renamed (japirem) to (gteikoku).
  • 0.35b3: Nicola Salmoria added clone Space Battle (bootleg 1980).
  • 0.22: Changed description of 'Japanese Irem game' to 'Gingateikoku No Gyakushu'.
  • 0.11: Lionel Theunissen dumped the color PROM of his Uniwars board and... it's different from the one provided by Gary Walton. Galaxian boards were widely pirated so it's difficult to determine which one is the "correct" palette. Nicola set the Uniwars driver to use one palette, and the "Japan Irem" to use the other. Play the one you prefer.
  • 0.10: Thanks to Gary Walton and Simon Walls, we now have 100% accurate colors in Uniwars/Japirem.
  • 0.06: Nicola Salmoria added clone Uniwars (US version of Japan Irem game) (Karateco 1980). Nicola also added star background in Galaxians & co. The way Nicola calculate it is probably not correct, anyway it looks reasonable.
  • 0.05: Nicola Salmoria and Lionel Theunissen added 'Japanese Irem game' (Irem 1980) (japirem). Only one sound channel is emulated and the game has no star background.
Other Emulators:
  • GalEMU
  • Sparcade
  • Tickle
  • VAntAGE
