0.33b7 [Jarek Parchanski]


SETUP and SERVICE MODE:

- Press P2 START to skip the dipswitch menu.

- Keep service key 9 pressed during boot to enter service mode.


WIP:

- 0.169: System11 added clone Ninja-Kid II / NinjaKun Ashura no Shou (set 4).

- 0.156: Tormod added clone JT-104 (title screen modification of Rad Action). Seems to be a cheap hack (just a gfx rom change) but some sources say it's official. There's a possibility the board should have been using different program roms to the ones that were on it. Changed jt104 program roms to ones found on the board, dump was from Tormod [David Haywood].

- 0.143u8: Kanikani fixed/added comments in Ninja-Kid II driver. Fixed 'Credit Service' dipswitch.

- 0.133u2: Kanikani cleanup dipswitches in Ninja-Kid II.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (ninjak2a) to (ninjakd2a) and (ninjak2b) to (ninjakd2b).

- 0.131u2: Kanikani fixed Ninja-Kid II dipswitches and notes.

- 0.130u4: Brian Troha documented the www.segaresurrection.com decrypted Ninja-Kid II sound rom so it doesn't show up as newly "found" bootleg version. Kanikani correctly implemented 'trail' function in Ninja-Kid II.

- 0.128u4: Nicola Salmoria and David Haywood removed ROM banking kludges from Ninja-Kid II.

- 0.124u3: Nicola Salmoria fixed Ninja-Kid II initial fade in. Changed description of clones (set 2) to 'Ninja-Kid II / NinjaKun Ashura no Shou (set 2, bootleg?)' and (set 3) to 'Ninja-Kid II / NinjaKun Ashura no Shou (set 3, bootleg?)'.

- 0.123u6: Nicola Salmoria fixed Ninja-Kid II sound/voice problem.

- 0.122u7: Nicola Salmoria lowered Ninja-Kid II PCM playback rate to 13020 (from 16000). This seems to sound better and is a round division from one of the master clocks. Fixed sprite overdraw mode, congratulations screen (e.g. stage 3) shows japanese characters which were previously missing and at the beginning of a level items are visible during the initial fade in. I'm not sure if this is correct but the other effects wouldn't work otherwise. Also fixed screen is not flipped for the player 2 in cocktail mode. Added 'Flip Screen' dipswitch. Fixed gfx1/2/3 rom loading. Changed description to 'Ninja-Kid II / NinjaKun Ashura no Shou (set 1)' and clones (set 2) to 'Ninja-Kid II / NinjaKun Ashura no Shou (set 2)', (set 3) to 'Ninja-Kid II / NinjaKun Ashura no Shou (set 3)' and 'Rad Action' to 'Rad Action / NinjaKun Ashura no Shou'.

- 0.113u3: Nicola Salmoria added proper MC8123 decryption code and ninjakd2.key to Ninja-Kid II.

- 0.113: Ruben added DIP locations to Ninja-Kid II.

- 0.107: Pierpaolo Prazzoli properly emulated the sprite overdraw effect in Ninja-Kid II. Now you can see the "opening" effect and the previously 2 bugged levels are fixed. Converted the driver to use tilemaps as well.

- 0.93: Removed Custom sound.

- 0.89u6: MC8193 update [Nicola Salmoria]. Expanded the decryption tables. The tables for 317-0043 (wbml) and ninjakd2 derived by comparison of the original with the decrypted bootleg. They are incomplete but enough to fully decrypt the program. Added Z80 (5MHz) CPU2, PCM Samples and Custom sound.

- 0.89u3: Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 5MHz in the clone sets.

- 0.67: Changed parent and clone descriptions to 'Ninja-Kid II'.

- 0.36b1: Jarek Parchanski fixed sound in Ninja Kid 2. Changed YM2203 clock speed to 1.5 MHz.

- 0.35b13: Nicola Salmoria added clone Ninja-Kid II (set 3). Jarek Parchanski the clone Rad Action. Changed parent description to 'Ninja Kid II (set 1)' and clone (alternate) to 'Ninja Kid II (set 2)'.

- 13th May 1999: Nicola added another Ninja Kid 2 rom set.

- 4th May 1999: Jarek Parchanski added clone Rad Action to the Ninja Kid 2 driver.

- 0.35b1: Jarek Parchanski added PCM samples to Ninja-Kid II.

- 0.33b7: Jarek Parchanski added 'Ninja Kid II' (UPL 1987) and clone (alternate). Known issues: Due to encryption, sound works only in the alternate version.

- 21st June 1998: J-ROM dumped Ninja-Kid II / NinjaKun Ashura no Shou (set 2, bootleg?).

- 26th March 1998: CaBBe dumped Ninja-Kid II / NinjaKun Ashura no Shou (set 1).
