additional information
info 0.86 [Ville Linde]

WIP:
  • 0.114u3: Added new sound1 roms ($0, 400000 - 4MB) to Silent Scope.
  • 0.114u2: Ville Linde fixed a rom loading issue in Silent Scope.
  • 13th April 2007: Ville Linde - Silent Scope is starting to work. Not exactly surprising, given the recent developments.
  • 0.110u3: Ville Linde added dualscreen support (2x 512x384) for Silent Scope & Silent Scope 2.
  • 0.104u8: Added clone Silent Scope (ver UAA).
  • 0.104u1: Changed visible area to 1024x384.
  • 0.102u2: Aaron Giles rewrote the Voodoo emulation code and added support for multiple simultaneous boards (Silent Scope).
  • 0.102u1: Added RF5C400 stereo sound. Changed user4 roms to sound1.
  • 0.102: Added 2nd ADSP21062 (36MHz) CPU and dipswitches 'Screen Flip (H)/(V)', 'Harness' and 'Monitor Type'.
  • 0.97u2: Removed user4 roms ($c00000 and e00000).
  • 0.97u1: Added ADSP21062 (36MHz) CPU3 and dipswitches. Changed user4 to user5 roms.
  • 5th June 2005: Ville Linde - Turns out that Konami Hornet and NWK-TR games require some preformatted data in their backup RAMs (probably as a protective measure). So far I've managed to find the correct values for Gradius 4, Silent Scope, Racing Jam and Racing Jam 2, leaving Silent Scope 2 and Thrill Drive to be done. Silent Scope and Racing Jam start to boot but end up spinning much like Racing Jam 2.
  • 25th May 2005: Ville Linde - I've continued my progress on my Analog Devices ADSP-2106x SHARC core. The results are finally starting to show. The 3Dfx chips have also been hooked up already. Silent Scope currently passes all the tests on the first graphics board. The second board isn't emulated yet.
  • 0.86: Ville Linde added Silent Scope (Konami 1999) and various other Konami PPC based games: GTI Club, Gradius 4, Silent Scope 2, Racing Jam, Racing Jam: Chapter 2, Thrill Drive, Midnight Run and Winding Heat. These are to demonstrate the PPC core in action, they contain only very preliminary emulation and do nothing more than display the initial test screens.
  • 4th July 2004: Ville Linde - Presents first shots of Silent Scope (MAME driver). Don't expect these to be playable anytime soon.

- TRIVIA -

Cobra and Hornet, the 2 bosses for stage 1 have their codenames based on Konami's Cobra Hardware (which runs the 1997 fighting game "Fighting Bujitsu") and Hornet hardware (which runs Silent Scope).

The twin bosses codenamed 'Tom and Jerry' have their code name inspired by the cartoon cat and mouse duo of the same name.

The female boss, Monica is probably named after Monica Lewinsky who was the intern involved in a scandal with then president Bill Clinton.
