0.37b5 [Kieron Wilkinson, Guru]


WIP:

- 0.182: Moved 68705 timer logic out of Arkanoid driver and into 68705 core [David Haywood]. Converted Arkanoid 68705 interface to device. Confirm MCU reset also resets semaphore flags [Lord Nightmare, Vas Crabb]. Fixed watchdog to match PCB tracing, update some comments [Lord Nightmare]. Replaced M68705 CPU2 with 'MC68705P5'.

- 0.171: Fixed F3 soft-reset on Arkanoid sets with MCU. Made anonymous timer non-anonymous and fixed savestates for the sets using the original Taito MCU code. Documentation cleanup/updates [Lord Nightmare].

- 0.170: Lord Nightmare and brizzo added emulation of the 68705 timer and timer interrupts. Fixed bugs with MCU port c ddr handling, latches and edge detection, added missing interrupt on Z80 write to MCU, and removed a boost interleave hack which was made unnecessary by these fixes. Switched the Arkanoid (older) sets to use original Taito A75 06 MCU code as opposed to the bootleg MCU code used until now. The 3 (newer) and 1 Tournament sets still use hand-hacked bootleg MCU code until original MCU chips can be dumped and/or decapped. All 9 of the dumped Arkanoid MCU code roms now work, if hooked up to the appropriate drivers. Hooked the now-working 'deprotected Taito' MCU dump up to arkanoidjbl. Added an alternate gfx rom dumped from an original 'older' US board. Minor comment fixes. Set YM2149 emulation to mix channels the same way the real PCB mixes them, by directly tying them together with no mixing resistors. This introduces some distortion, but is more accurate to actual PCB audio [Lord Nightmare]. Added note about the number of optical quadrature slots (24) the arkanoid 1:20 geared spinner's quadrature wheel [brizzo]. Changed YM2149 clock speed to 3MHz.

- 0.147u1: Tournament Arkanoid is a special version, a la 'NBA Jam TE', de-cloneize it [Angelo Salese]. Changed 'Tournament Arkanoid (US)' from a clone of Arkanoid to parent.

- 0.127u4: Dazzer added correct colour proms to Tournament Arkanoid (US). Fixed rom names.

- 0.37b5: Added 'Tournament Arkanoid (US)' (Taito America Corporation (Romstar license) 1987).

- 12th June 2000: Kieron Wilkinson added the Tournament Arkanoid romset to the Arkanoid driver.

- 1st April 2000: Guru - Dumped Tournament Arkanoid (Taito 1987, Romstar License).

History


Arcade Video game published 32 years ago:

Tournament Arkanoid (c) 1987 Romstar.

Tournament Arkanoid is an update of the original "Arkanoid" that was released exclusively in the United States. It has an entirely new set of levels, some more difficult than any levels of the original game. Otherwise, gameplay in general is entirely identical to the original.

- TRIVIA -

Tournament Arkanoid was released in January 1987 in the USA. It was licensed to Romstar.

This game is basically "Arkanoid" with an entirely new set of levels. For more information on the game, please see the original Taito Japan entry.

The layout of level 2 is a drawing of the US flag, with the stars represented by silver blocks.

The layout of level 4 is a drawing of Chack'n from "Chack'n Pop". Chack'n's eyes are made out of indestructible gold blocks.
