0.92u1 2005/02/15 [#233 - David Haywood] ---------------------------------------- Given the circumstances this seems a worthwhile update ;-). Note: This version is also known as "0.92u2000". New Games / Clones supported or promoted from GAME_NOT_WORKING status: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Raiden Fighters 2: 2000 [Nicola Salmoria, Ville Linde] (sound is not yet perfect, some graphical effects are missing) Little Hero (bootleg of KidNiki) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Astro Combat (bootleg of Astro Blaster) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Super Missile Attack (encrypted set) [Mowerman, Dave Widel] New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING ------------------------------------ TurboSub [Tomasz Slanina] (basic driver for now, acts as a bitmap viewer for the GFX roms) Source changes: ---------------- - Improvements to Seibu SPI decryption. Tile graphics are decrypted for all Games Sprites decrypted for 'Raiden Fighters 2000' [Nicola Salmoria]. - Discrete sound in 'Tank8' [Hans Andersson]. - Added trackballs in 'Championship Bowling' [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]. - Fixed 'Super Trio' sound frequency [Pierpaolo - Prazzoli]. - FD1089 update [Nicola Salmoria, Charles MacDonald]. - Complete table for 317-0033 (Alien Syndrome) and 317-0034 (S.Hang On) [R. Belmont]. - Updated Mahjong drivers to use new default controls [James Wallace]. - Updated Gladiator driver [Nicola Salmoria]: * Verified with schematics (though the schematics are very hard to read so there are still dubious places). * Converted to tilemaps, fixed scrolling. * Simplified tile decoding. * Flip screen support. * Fixed spriteram size (this fixes gladiatr36rc2gre). * Support for sprite dual buffer (this fixes sprite trails). * Adjusted YM2203 mixing levels so bass notes can still be heard (the audio mixing stage has some program controlled filters though which aren't supported). * Merged with ppking, drivers/ppking.c is no longer needed. * Proper blending of the fg layer (it's a palette effect not alpha blending). - Improved video emulation in 'XFiles' [Tomasz Slanina].
