0.79u3 [Mike Coates, Pierpaolo Prazzoli]


TODO:

* Fix DAC sound (NE555V circuit)


Bugs:

- Missing sound effects. MASH (ID 04061)


WIP:

- 0.145u5: Give quasar driver separate include [hap]. Changed description to 'Quasar (set 1)' and clone (Alternate) to 'Quasar (set 2)'.

- 0.143u1: Tafoid fixed 3 players start mapped even though it is a 2 player game in Quasar. Changed input from 4 to 2 buttons.

- 0.141u4: Breaks some driver entanglements to simplify future driver_device conversion efforts [Atari Ace]: Several drivers are made into explicit subclasses of other drivers: Quasar from CVS.

- 0.136u1: Quench fixed massive slowdown in Quasar.

- 0.135u4: Fabio Priuli added driver data struct and save states to Quasar and fixed all sets in drivers using S2636 video chip.

- 0.135u3: Fabio Priuli converted Signetics 2636 video chip to be a MAME device and updated drivers using it accordingly.

- 0.135: Fabio Priuli fixed segmentation fault after OK in Quasar and clone.

- 0.123u1: Changed palettesize to 1544 colors.

- 0.122u6: Zsolt Vasvari fixed crash on startup. Changed I8035 CPU2 clock speed to 6MHz.

- 0.89u6: Changed S2650 CPU1 clock speed to 3579500 Hz.

- 0.79u4: Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed some Quasar dipswitches - Game now playable.

- 0.79u3: Mike Coates and Pierpaolo Prazzoli added Quasar (Zaccaria 1980) and clone (Alternate). Other Zaccaria games are still being worked on. TODO: Sound (missing invader effect). Still not sure all noise in correct places and dipsettings.

- 25th February 2004: Mike Coates sent in a driver for Quasar by him and Pierpaolo Prazzoli. Other Zaccaria games like Astro Wars and Galaxia are still being worked on.
