additional information
info 0.34b4 [Ernesto Corvi]

WIP:
  • 0.123u5: Zsolt Vasvari fixed game doesn't start.
  • 0.106u12: MASH added plds ($0, 200 - pal16r4a.5c and pal16r4a.5e) to Express Raider and clones.
  • 0.104u5: Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed Express Raider protection (exprraid0103u1red).
  • 0.96u3: Joachim Bassmann added clone Express Raider (US set 2).
  • 0.79u2: Removed unknown dipswitches.
  • 23rd February 2002: Angelo Salese submitted a fix for Express Raider not accepting more than 1 coin.
  • 0.37b12: Added clone Western Express (bootleg set 2).
  • 20th January 2001: David Haywood added yet another Western Express clone romset.
  • 18th January 2001: David Haywood re-submitted the Western Express clone romset support.
  • 8th December 2000: David Haywood added another Western Express romset to the Express Raider driver.
  • 0.36b9: Changed M6809 CPU2 clock speed to 2MHz.
  • 14th August 1999: Nicola fixed clone Western Express bug.
  • 0.34RC1: Dave W. added hiscore save in Express Raider.
  • 0.34b8: Changed YM-3812 sound to YM-3526.
  • 0.34b7: Nicola Salmoria added clone Western Express. Changed description of clone Express Raider (bootleg) to 'Western Express (bootleg)'.
  • 0.34b4: Ernesto Corvi added Express Raider (Data East 1986) and clone (bootleg). The background tiles had a very ugly encoding. It was so ugly that our decode gfx routine will not be able to decode it without some little help. So thats why exprraid_gfx_expand() is there. Many thanks to Phil Stroffolino, who figured out the encoding. The bootleg version patched the rom to get rid of the extra opcode ( bootlegs used a regular 6502 ), the vectors hardcoded in place and also had the protection cracked.
