0.36b4 [Ernesto Corvi, Tatsuyuki Satoh]

0.35b5 [Testdriver]


WIP:

- 0.154: Andrew Welburn added clone Galaga '88 (02-03-88). ROMs all have handwritten labels with checksums and dates.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (galag88j) to (galaga88j).

- 0.130u3: Replaced 'Auto Data Sampling' dipswitch with 'Auto Data Sampling (step1of2)', 'Auto Data Sampling (step2of2)' and 5x 'Unknown'.

- 0.125u3: Nicola Salmoria fixed the shooting summary screen gfx when the game is over.

- 0.89: Nicola Salmoria removed Galaga '88 (set 1). It was a hacked version removing the key custom checks and disabling ROM checksum tests. Changed clone (set 2) to parent 'Galaga '88'.

- 0.36b16: Changed palettesize to 5121 colors.

- 0.36b14: Added clone Galaga'88 (set 2). Changed parent description to 'Galaga '88 (set 1)'.

- 0.36b12: Changed palettesize to 10753 colors.

- 26th October 1999: Tatsuyuki Satoh fixed Galaga'88.

- 0.36b7: Added 2x DAC sound.

- 0.36b6: Changed palettesize from 3584 to 3585 colors.

- 0.36b4: Ernesto Corvi and Tatsuyuki Satoh added 'Galaga'88 (set 1)' (Namco 1987) and clone (Japan).

- 0.35b7: An unofficial MAME version supported at first Galaga'88 and Pacmania.

- 0.35b5: Ernesto Corvi added (Testdriver) Galaga 88.

- 4th March 1999: Ernesto Corvi submitted the Namco System 1 driver with support for Pacmania and Galaga'88. The Namco System 1 driver is still very slow and sprites are screwed. Pacmania and Galaga'88 are the games that work best, Dragon Spirits is almost there, Splatter House and Blazer have missing graphics and World Stadium 90 has protection problems.
