0.129u5 [Smitdogg]

0.74u2 [David Haywood]

0.61 [Testdriver]


NOTE:

- Dangerous Dungeons conversion of Double Dragon. IC23 is replaced with a daughterboard containing a 68705 MCU.


WIP:

- 0.184: Use 4-way joysticks. Dangerous Dungeons, despite being a conversion of Double Dragon, has a manual that notes that 4-way joysticks should be used. It seems reasonable to assume that the other non-Technos games should do the same, with the exception of Thunder Strike [AJR].

- 0.182: Replaced M68705 CPU4 with MC68705P3.

- 0.141u4: Changed description to 'Dangerous Dungeons (set 1)' and clone (East Coast Coin Company) to 'Dangerous Dungeons (set 2)'.

- 0.129u5: Smitdogg added 'Dangerous Dungeons' (Game Room 1992). Changed 'Dangerous Dungeons' to clone 'Dangerous Dungeons (East Coast Coin Company)'. Renamed (ddungeon) to (ddungene).

- 2nd February 2009: Guru - We just picked Dangerous Dungeons, it's a conversion on a Double Dragon PCB with 63701 MCU wanted for decapping.

- 0.129: Changed M6809 CPU2 clock speed to 1.5MHz.

- 0.125u4: Changed 'Demo Sounds' dipswitch to 'Unused'.

- 0.122u7: Replaced HD6309 CPU3 with M6809 (6Mhz). Changed HD6309 CPU1 clock speed to 12MHz, HD63701 CPU2 to 6MHz and the 2x MSM5205 to 375000 Hz. Added 'Demo Sounds' dipswitch.

- 0.122u6: Changed M68705 CPU4 clock speed to 4MHz.

- 0.115: Aaron Giles updated 68705 clocks to take into account the internal divide by 4. Added constant so that it is clear why this is being done. Changed M68705 CPU4 clock speed to 1MHz.

- 0.103u1: Changed visible area to 256x240.

- 0.77u2: Added dipswitches 'Lives', 'Difficulty' and 2x 'Unused'.

- 0.77: Bryan McPhail fixed Dangerous Dungeons - Game now playable. Changed HD63701 MCU clock speed to 1193181 Hz, VSync to 57.444855 Hz, palettesize to 512 colors and sound to mono. Added cpu2 ($c000), cpu3 ($8000), cpu4 ($0), sound1 ($0, 10000) and proms ($0, 100).

- 3rd November 2003: Bryan McPhail fixed the video and interrupt timing in the Double Dragon driver and fixed Dangerous Dungeons.

- 17th October 2003: Guru - Received a Dangerous Dungeons PCB and dumped the 68705 microcontroller on it. Thanks to Pelle for grabbing the PCB from EBay.

- 0.74u2: David Haywood added 'Dangerous Dungeons' (East Coast Coin Company (Melbourne) 1992).

- 0.61: David Haywood added (Testdriver) Dangerous Dungeons.

- 14th May 2002: David Haywood added Toffy, Super Toffy and Dangerous Dungeons to the Double Dragon driver, but Dangerous Dungeons isn't playable.

- 7th May 2000: Guru dumped Dangerous Dungeons, running on bootleg Double Dragon H/W.
