WIP:
- 0.147u3: Team Europe added proper PLD dumps to Bonus Card.
- 0.147u2: Roberto Fresca and Team Europe added 'Bonus Card (Austrian)' (Fun World 1986) and clone Bonus Card (Austrian, ATG Electronic hack). Removed clone Jolly Card (Austrian, Funworld). Moved jolycdat program to Bonus Card, making it parent. This program is a real original Bonus Card program, and the PCB was populated with common Jolly Card graphics wrongly. The other Bonus Card set was turned as clone, since has a fake copyright string (hack). Added some technical notes.
- 27th October 2012: Roberto Fresca - Thanks to Team Europe, we have now preserved at least one set of Bonus Card from Fun World. Still got some imperfect colors, but the game is working properly, and the bonus can be changed to play 55, 77, and 99 bonus game. Team Europe is now doing an effort to plug the board and get some reference pictures, that will help to fix the cards deck colors. Also made proper inputs, that can be shared with Big Deal and an hybrid Jolly Card set. Team Europe made an attempt to plug the Bonus Card PCB. They got the same colors I got in the emulation. Now we know for sure that the emulation is accurate. Sadly the bipolar PROM is clearly a replace, and surely the seller put there whatever can barely fit for the current game. In another hand, TE also plug the Mega Card PCB and found that. The game is called Power Card, and is an original Fun World game, clone of Bonus Card. So I just tried the bipolar PROM dump from this one to see if it fits and match the color palette of Bonus Card. I've found that cards are perfect now. The bipolar PROM has two different palettes, addressable through a PLD. The first one is green based, and the second one is blue based. Also I improve the inputs, got the 55/77/99 bonus running, and hooked proper button-lamps. Based on how is connected the PCB color circuitry, the latest blue based snaps seems to be the real color. Hope some pictures of the original Bonus Card will appear, so we can be sure about the color accuracy.
- 0.137u1: Roberto Fresca improved colors and added specific button-lamps layout for Big Deal games. Replaced M65SC02 CPU1 with M65C02. Added Joker Card palette prom till a correct dump appear.
- 0.123u1: Changed description to 'Big Deal (hungarian, set 1)' and clone (Hungary, set 2) to 'Big Deal (hungarian, set 2)' and 'Jolly Card (Austria, Fun World)' to 'Jolly Card (austrian, Funworld)'.
- 0.110u5: Changed 'Jolly Card (Austria, Fun World)' to a clone of Big Deal. The game has the same layout/behaviour instead of the normal jolly card games, even when are sharing gfx roms. Hooked, wired and decoded the color prom in bigdeal sets based on Jolly Card (Austria, Fun World) and Jolly Card (Austria) palette. Colors seems to be correct, but need to check against the real thing. Flagged as IMPERFECT_COLORS till a color PROM dump appear. Changed M65SC02 and AY8910 clock speeds to 2MHz. Swapped gfx1 roms, added prom ($0) and 4x 'Unknown' dipswitches.
- 0.102u4: Renamed (jollycdd) to (jolycdat).
- 0.100u4: Changed 'Jolly Card (Hungary)' to 'Big Deal (Hungary, set 1)', parent sets 'Jolly Card (bad dump?) (Hungary)' to clone 'Big Deal (Hungary, set 2)' and 'Bonus Card? (Austria)' to clone 'Jolly Card (Austria, Fun World)'. Renamed (poker4) to (bigdeal), (poker8) to (bigdealb) and (bonuscrd) to (jollycdd).
- 0.99u2: Curt Coder and Peter Trauner added 'Jolly Card (Hungary)' (Fun World 1986), 'Jolly Card (bad dump?) (Hungary)' (Fun World 1986) and 'Jolly Card (Austria)' (TAB-Austria 1985).
