additional information
info 0.35b8 [Carlos A. Lozano, Phil Stroffolino]

WIP:
  • 0.127u2: Nicola Salmoria fixed palette decoding of early SNK games (T.N.K III). The least significan bits were assigned incorrectly. Stephane Humbert fixed dipswitches and inputs for T.N.K III (US) and clone (Japan).
  • 0.127u1: SNK rewrite [Nicola Salmoria]: Fixed sprite-sprite priorities. Converted to tilemaps, removed hacks, proper memory maps, screen flip / cocktail mode support, added DIP locations, better implementation of sound CPU communication and hooked sound CPU interrupts to YM3526 chip.
  • 0.126u5: Fixed gfx3 rom addresses to $4000/8000.
  • 0.122u5: Corrado Tomaselli changed/verified frequencies in T.N.K. III. Changed Z80 CPU1/2 clock speeds to 3350000 Hz.

  • 0.67: Changed description to 'T.N.K. III'.
  • 28th November 1999: Jim Hernandez fixed the sound in T.N.K. III.
  • 0.35b13: Roberto Fresca added clone Tank (Japan). Fixed colors. Changed description of 'TNK3' to 'TNK III'.
  • 2nd May 1999: Phil Stroffolino finally got the correct colors for ASO, TNK3 and Athena.
  • 0.35b8: Carlos A. Lozano and Phil Stroffolino added TNK3 (SNK 1985).
  • 17th March 1999: Phil Stroffolino sent a new SNK driver with working support for nearly all of the games, though some color problems with Athena and TNK3 still remain. He also fixed some bugs in the tilemap code.
