0.102u3 [?]

0.100u3 [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]


NOTE:

- Power Balls is a conversion for a Super Slam board.


WIP:

- 0.137u3: Fabio Priuli added driver data class and save states to the Power Balls driver.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (powerbls) to (powerbals).

- 0.128u1: Replaced I8051 CPU2 with I80C51 in clone (Super Slam conversion).

- 0.122u3: Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed clone Power Balls (Super Slam conversion) crashed when running a debug build in gdb with -autosave (powerbls0112u4red).

- 0.105u5: Twisty added 'Difficulty' dipswitch.

- 0.105u4: f205v fixed OKI frequency in clone Power Balls (Super Slam conversion) to 7575 Hz.

- 0.102u3: Added 'Power Balls' (Playmark 1994). Changed 'Power Balls' to clone 'Power Balls (Super Slam conversion)'. Renamed (powerbal) to (powerbls).

- 0.100u3: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added 'Power Balls (Super Slam conversion)' (Playmark 1994).

- 26th September 2005: Pierpaolo Prazzoli - Emulated OKI6295 sound in Power Balls (Super Slam conversion). The Philips 87C751 sound MCU wasn't read-protected.

- 25th September 2005: Pierpaolo Prazzoli - Finished Power Balls except sound because it needs to be simulated (it runs in a Super Slam PCB converted).

- 22nd September 2005: Pierpaolo Prazzoli - Started to work on the rare Italian game Power Balls Playmark (1994) (probably no one has ever heard anything about it).

- 21st September 2005: f205v dumped Power Balls (Super Slam conversion).

- 22nd February 2005: Guru - Power Ball just arrived.
