additional information
info 0.36b8 [Bryan McPhail, Chris Hardy]

0.35b8 [Bryan McPhail]

WIP:
  • 0.124u5: Andrew Gardner merged memory maps for Tumble Pop.
  • 0.105u1: David Haywood added simulated PIC16C57/OKI6295 sound for clone Tumble Pop (bootleg set 2). Fixed OKI6295 clock speed to 6060 Hz in clones (bootleg set 1/2).
  • 0.104u5: Changed visible area to 319x240.
  • 0.100: Renamed (tumblepb) to (tumble) and (tumblep2) to (tumbleb2). Fixed gfx2 rom address to $1.
  • 0.53: Removed gfx1 roms (thumbpop.18/.19) and swapped gfx2 roms ($0, 80000).
  • 15th July 2001: Nicola Salmoria decrypted the graphics in the original version of Tumble Pop.
  • 14th March 2001: Nicola changed Tumblepop to use better graphics ROMs, however one of the new ROMs is encrypted.
  • 12th April 2000: Bryan McPhail fixed some bugs in SNK68 and Tumblepop and Super Burger Time drivers.
  • 0.37b14: Rebuild gfx1 and gfx2 roms.
  • 0.36RC1: Added clone Tumble Pop (Japan). Changed 68000 CPU1 clock speed from 14MHz.
  • 0.36b13: Changed VSync to 58Hz and YM2151 clock speed to 3580000 Hz and OKI6295 to 7757 Hz.
  • 0.36b9: Fixed sound1 rom length from 524288 to 131072.
  • 6th November 1999: Bryan McPhail added the sample rom to Tumble Pop.
  • 0.36b8: Bryan McPhail added Tumble Pop (World). Renamed (tumblep) to (tumblepb). Added H6280 (4027500 Hz) CPU2 + rom, YM-2151 (3.7MHz) sound and changed OKI6295 clock speed to 8055 Hz.
  • 24th October 1999: Bryan McPhail added an original Tumblepop romset (with correct YM2151 sounds) to the driver.
  • 0.35b8: Bryan McPhail added Tumble Pop (bootleg set 1) (1991) and clone (bootleg set 2). Issues: Original romset would be nice. There is music in the top half of the sample rom. Don't know how it's accessed. Sound is not quite correct yet (Nothing on bootleg 2). Dipswitches are totally wrong. They seem different to usual Deco dips.
  • 15th March 1999: Bryan McPhail has submitted a driver for Tumble Pop, a rare game from Data East.

history Tumble Pop (c) 1991 Data East.


The task in this game is to catch all the enemies in a vacuum cleaner and then throw them at each other. The gameplay is quite easy, repetitive and addictive.
