0.167 [System11, The Dumping Union]

0.37b1 [Nicola Salmoria]


Bugs:

- MAME seems to be missing the startup with graphics garble and blinking colours, etc. Stefan Lindberg / Kold666 (ID 00184)

- On the PCB ONLY if you insert coins during the disclaimer, the FM music and sounds miss like in MAME. Kold666 (ID 00236)


WIP:

- 0.167: System11 and The Dumping Union added Air Duel (World, M82-A-A + M82-B-A). Make it clearer that Air Duel (the M82 PCB) is actually a conversion of Major Title, the sprite roms used for the extra sprite layer in Major Title are still present on the board! [David Haywood]. Changed (Japan) to clone 'Air Duel (Japan, M72)'. Renamed (airduel) to (airduelm72).

- 0.37b2: Added dipswitches 'Lives', 'Difficulty', 'Demo Sounds', 'Flip Screen', 'Coin Mode' and 'Coinage'.

- 0.37b1: Nicola Salmoria added 'Air Duel (Japan)' (Irem 1990).

- 30th March 2000: Roberto Fresca fixed some Pound for Pound and Air Duel dipswitches.

- 27th March 2000: Nicola Salmoria added Air Duel to the M72 driver.

- 13th March 2000: Guru - Dumped finally (possibly) the last remaining M72 game called Airduel.
