0.37b11 [David Graves]

SETUP and TEST MODE:

Show the gun targets with F1.
Press F2 + F3 to enter test mode. Press after the Test screen key 2 to calibrate the guns for P1 and P2. Values for both players are UPPER LEFT:X=FF,Y=00---CENTER:X=80,Y=80---LOWER RIGHT:X=00,Y=FF. To write the EEROM press again 2. Jump with F3 back to the game.

WIP:

0.127u1: Nicola Salmoria fixed missing crosshairs in Space Gun.
0.124u2: Added 4x Volume Filters.
0.106u12: MASH added plds ($0, 200, 400, 600, 800, a00 - pal16l8-c57-09.9, pal20l8-c57-10.47, pal16l8-c57-11.48, pal20l8-c57-12.61, pal16l8-c57-13.72 and pal16r4-c57-14.96) to Space Gun (World).
0.55: Fixed rom names.
0.37b16: Added dipswitches 'Always have gunsight power up', 'Allow Continue' and 'Disable Pedal (?)'.
4th February 2001: Insideoutboy added the target crosshair to Space Gun.
0.37b11: David Graves added Space Gun (World) (Taito 1990). Issues: Fake aim documentation: $9d74: Code from here works out coords for P1 aim sprite and puts it in spriteram +0x20. $9b8c is entry for whole sub. $9fa6: Code from here works out coords for P2 aim sprite and puts it in spriteram +0x28. $9de8 is entry for whole sub. Both call subroutines (P1 $195d4, P2 $196ea) which do quite a lot of calculations on the raw a/d input coords, using the eerom calibration data to turn them into standard sprite coordinates. Problem with the zoomed sprites not matching up very well when forming the background. They jerk a bit relative to each other... could be a cpu sync thing. Light gun interrupt timing is arbitrary.
12th December 2000: David Graves sent in an updated version of the Taito Z driver, and Space Gun is now fully working.

history

Space Gun (c) 10/1990 Taito.

As a member of a special Search And Rescue unit. you (and an optional friend) are told to investigate an S.O.S. distress signal that was sent from a space station. what you don't know is that a group of vicious aliens have taken the colonists hostage. luckily for you, you're armed with a plasma pulse gun and 4 sets of grenades that are quite special (aside from the common grenade that explodes, some will freeze, incinerate, and even slice and dice the aliens).
