0.29 [Paul Leaman]


Artwork available


WIP:

- 0.155: Black Tiger sprite priority fixes [Mamesick].

- 0.154: Bonky0013 added clone Black Tiger / Black Dragon (mixed bootleg?). Not really sure what to make of this, it's a Capcom marked boardset, but the roms are mixed (bootleg and original, some black tiger, some black dragon), the MCU is missing, and instead the sound rom is address swapped (assuming it wasn't just dumped incorrectly).

- 0.141u3: Team Japump changed description of clone 'Black Dragon' to 'Black Dragon (Japan)'. Fixed rom names.

- 0.141u2: David Raingeard added clone Black Tiger (older).

- 0.140: MooglyGuy fixed Test mode displays only a solid black screen.

- 0.131u1: Dr. Decapitator, Guru and Angelo Salese added proper MCU dump for Black Tiger. Added I8751 (6MHz) CPU3 and 4k MCU rom. Renamed (bktigrb1) to (blktigerb1), (bktigrb2) to (blktigerb2) and (blkdrgnb) to (blkdrgonb).

- 6th May 2009: Guru - Chip 8751 found on Black Tiger has just been decapped and dumped.

- 13th January 2009: Guru - Black Tiger arrived yesterday, thanks to Smitdogg. Seems nobody except me noticed MAME is missing the 8751 MCU!

- 0.128u5: MAMEitalia added clone Black Tiger (bootleg set 2). Changed description of clone (bootleg) to 'Black Tiger (bootleg set 1)'. Renamed (bktigerb) to (bktigrb1).

- 21st October 2008: NibblerWorldChampion dumped Black Tiger (bootleg set 2).

- 0.125u1: Corrado Tomaselli changed Black Tiger main Z80 clock to 6MHz and sound Z80 clock to 3.579545MHz as verified on PCB.

- 0.122u7: Black Tiger update [Couriersud]: Combines memory maps. Input ports were tagged. All reads use input port tags. Added DIP locations from Romstar manual. Couriersud fixed also game can't receive coins during play, only in continue screen.

- 0.122u5: Roberto Zandona fixed tile priority table in Black Tiger.

- 0.122u4: Roberto Zandona fixed sprite priority issues (dragon in intro should appear behind mountains/statue).

- 8th July 2007: Mr. Do - Kiltron converted/cleaned the Black Tiger bezel, thanks to BYOAC/CAG artwork.

- 0.104u3: Adam Bousley added save states support to Black Tiger.

- 0.79: Chaneman fixed rom filenames in Black Tiger and clones.

- 27th December 2003: Stefan Jokisch added the fixed Black Dragon (bootleg) ROMs to the Black Tiger driver.

- 0.37b7: Nicola Salmoria fixed sprite/tile priority in Black Tiger.

- 0.36b9: Changed clock speed of the 2x YM2203 to 3579545 Hz.

- 0.35b1: Nicola Salmoria added clone Black Dragon (bootleg). Added missing proms ($0, 100, 200, 300 - function unknown).

- 0.34b5: Marco Cassili added clone Black Tiger (bootleg).

- 6th September 1998: Malcor dumped Black Dragon (bootleg).

- 0.33b4: Nicola Salmoria fixed high score saving in Black Tiger. Dynamic palette support for games with >256 colors, not complete yet but good for many cases. Drivers who want to use it must first of all set up like the static palette ones (put the real number of colors in MachineDriver-> total_colors, etc.), and call palette_recalc() in vh_screenrefresh() before drawing anything. A color usage table must be passed to palette_recalc() so that the function knows which colors are needed. Drivers which use the new system, and therefore no longer run in 16-bit video modes: Black Tiger, City Connection, Gun Dealer and Ninja Gai Den [Nicola Salmoria].

- 0.31: Aaron Giles added 16 bit color support for games which need it (e.g. Rastan, Gauntlet, Black Tiger, and many others).

- 0.30: Mirko Buffoni added 'Black Dragon' (Japan). Michael Appolo fixed character colors in Black Tiger. Juan Carlos Lorente added high score saving to Black Tiger.

- 0.29: Paul Leaman added 'Black Tiger' (Capcom 1987). Thanks to Ishmair for providing information about the screen layout on level 3. Known issues: Colors are pretty close, but the color space is downgraded from 4x4x4 to 3x3x2.

- 15th March 1997: Dumped Black Tiger.
