Desert Gun and M.A.M.E.
0.36RC2 [Zsolt Vasvari]
WIP:
- 0.137u4: Howard Casto changed output name for Desert Gun to something more descriptive (Player1_Gun_Recoil).
- 0.122u6: Zsolt Vasvari hand-fixed clone Road Runner's corrupted cpu1 rom ($1800). We are 99.99% sure that the bad bytes are the same as the Desert Gun ones.
- 0.122u5: Zsolt Vasvari and Guru added clone Road Runner (Midway). Fixed rom names.
- 30th December 2007: Guru - Road Runner is now history. Seems to work OK as-is in MAME, but when you miss a shot, some junk text appears in the middle of the screen. When comparing the bytes in the ROM to the same ROM from Desert Gun, it's not just a name change. There are other bytes that are different, so perhaps just something in the MAME driver memory map needs adjusting? I'm sure someone will investigate it soon.
- 29th December 2007: Guru - I'm still researching the strange ROM types on Road Runner so I didn't touch that yet.
- 21st December 2007: Guru - A huge box arrived today. That 19.75kg box looks mighty impressive, although I'm not sure that all of it is going to be useful. Some could be alt. versions but most don't work so I'll need to dump all of these before I can tell exactly what they are. It contains Road Runner (Midway, 8080 L-board hardware, 1978) and others. Thanks to Tingoes for sending these out.
- 0.111u4: Zsolt Vasvari and Derrick Renaud added partial sound emulation and properly added gun recoil output in Desert Gun. Changed 8080 CPU1 clock speed to 1996800 Hz. Replaced Samples sound with Discrete. Added 'Coinage' dipswitch and fixed 'Language', 'Extended Time At' and 'Game Time'.
- 0.111u1: Added Invaders samples.
- 0.61: Light gun support [Bryan McPhail].
- 8th May 2000: Zsolt Vasvari fixed Desert Gun.
- 0.36RC2: Zsolt Vasvari added Desert Gun (Midway 1977).
- 7th March 2000: Zsolt Vasvari added Desert Gun and Shuffleboard to the 8080bw driver.
