additional information
info 0.24 [Marc LaFontaine, Steven Hugg]

SETUP and TEST MODE:
  • The first time you run the game, it will say 'factory settings restored'. Press F2 to proceed.
  • Press F2 for Test-Mode
  • Press F1 + F2 for Bookkeeping/Setup
WIP:
  • 0.95u3: Changed cpu1 roms addresses from $0-8000 to $10000-18000.
  • 0.92: Highwayman added proms ($0, 200 - video inversion for cocktail table).
  • 0.25: Valerio Verrando fixed the Williams driver to support joystick in Blaster, Defender, Joust, Robotron, Splat and Stargate.
  • 0.24: Added Splat (Williams 1982). Marc LaFontaine provided drivers for Robotron, Splat, Defender, Joust, Stargate, Bubbles, Blaster and Sinistar. Bubbles doesn't start, and Sinistar do weird things at startup. The other games work very well, though. For this version I provide a set of fonts that can be used to avoid jerkiness in williams games.
LEVELS: 99 (endless)
