info 0.93u3 [Corrado Tomaselli / Mame Italian Forum, David Haywood]

0.92 [?]

NOTE:
  • The protdata.bin rom is not a real rom but instead the data extracted from shared ram, the MCU puts it there.
WIP:
  • 0.95u1: Sonikos added 'Free Play' and removed 'Lives' dipswitch.
  • 0.93u3: Changed Hyper Pacman (set 2) to Twinkle. Renamed (hyperpaa) to (twinkle). Added protdata.bin rom - Game now playable.
  • 0.92: Added clone Hyper Pacman (set 2) with 87c52.mcu cpu3 rom (can't be dumped).
  • 17th December 2004: Dumping Project - Randy have collaborated with the MAME Italian Forum to win a graphically interesting Italian "Hyper Pac-Man" bootleg called "Twinkle" (big thanks to Sophitia and the rest of the Forum on that one).
