0.106u5 [Pierpaolo Prazzoli, f205v]


TODO:

* Dump/simulated PIC16C57 sound


WIP:

- 0.154: Added PIC16C57 (12MHz) CPU2.

- 0.149u1: David Haywood fixed level 2-4 boss in Hard Times.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (hrdtimea) to (hrdtimesa).

- 0.123u4: Corrado Tomaselli changed/verified clocks and OKI6295 pin 7 in Hard Times.

- 0.118u6: David Haywood added clone Hard Times (set 2). Fixed gfx1/2 roms addresses. Changed parent description to 'Hard Times (set 1)'.

- 29th August 2007: Corrado Tomaselli, f205v and Gnoppi dumped Hard Times (set 2). This is a different revision of Hard Times already in MAME. It sports 4x 1MB MASKROM, each maskrom joins two 512KB EPROMs of the other revision. PIC will probably need trojaning or de-capping.

- 0.106u5: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added 'Hard Times' (Playmark 1994).

- 7th June 2006: Pierpaolo Prazzoli - We thought every PCB was converted to Hot Mind and that we would have never found it, but after years of research, the MAME Italian guys found Hard Times (Playmark 1994) and now every known Playmark games is emulated! Right now it has no sound because the PIC isn't dumped yet, but it'll probably be read protected, so it'll have to be simulated. If you think it looks like Blood Bros., well it's hacked from Blood Bros. program code. In fact you can find Blood Bros. text inside Hard Times roms.

- 5th June 2006: f205v dumped Hard Times (set 1).
