0.85u2 [Brian Troha]

0.37b11 [Bryan McPhail]


Artwork available


Bugs:

- SFX is only from the left speaker. AWJ (ID 00120)


WIP:

- 0.151: Kevin Eshbach added the ability to view PALCE16V8 JED files along with some regression test data for the PALCE16V8. The PAL dumps for Twin Cobra II in the Taito F3 driver are now labeled as bad dumps because when viewed with jedutil the data is bad.

- 0.150: Replaced badly dumped sprite rom in Twin Cobra II and clones. There are a couple of other bits to add and improvements to make, but I thought it best to get this bit out the way first. This fixed the stray flashing pixels on the bottom left of the helicopter after starting a game. Documented the location of the roms on Twin Cobra II [Kevin Eshbach]. Added PALs (palce16v8q.ic37.bin, d77-12.ic48.bin and d77-14.ic21.bin).

- 0.149: Mark gfx rom ($0) as BAD_DUMP in Twin Cobra II and clones. There are lots of bad pixels in the sprites coming from this ROM, I've asked somebody with the board to check it [David Haywood].

- 0.105u1: Changed description to 'Twin Cobra II (Ver 2.1O 1995/11/30)' and clone (US) to 'Twin Cobra II (Ver 2.1A 1995/11/30)' and (Japan) to 'Kyukyoku Tiger II (Ver 2.1J 1995/11/30)'.

- 0.85u2: Brian Troha added Twin Cobra 2 (World) and clone (US).

- 0.37b11: Bryan McPhail added 'Kyukyoku Tiger 2 (Japan)' (Taito 1995). Known issues: Playfields are 1 off in the x-axis.

- 16th January 2001: Bryan McPhail fixed some memory corrupting bugs in the Taito F3 driver.

- 15th January 2001: Bryan McPhail finally submitted his Taito F3 driver, which is not graphically perfect and crashes hard sometimes but has complete ES5505 sound emulation thanks to Aaron Giles, Ian Schmidt and R. Belmont. Not all games are working due to 68020 core bugs, but these are: Ring Rage, Arabian Magic, Riding Fight, Grid Seeker: Project Stormhammer, Gunlock / Rayforce, Super Cup Finals / Hat Trick Hero '93, Top Ranking Stars, Light Bringer, Kaiser Knuckle / Global Champion, Bubble Bobble 2 / Bubble Symphony, Space Invaders DX, Taito Power Goal / Hat Trick Hero '95, Quiz Theater - 3tsu no Monogatari, Akkanvader, Moriguchi Hiroko no Quiz de Hyuu!Hyuu!, Puzzle Bobble 2 / Bust-A-Move Again, Puzzle Bobble 2X, Kyukyoku Tiger 2, Bubble Memories, Cleopatra Fortune, Puzzle Bobble 3, Arkanoid Returns, Kirameki Star Road, Puchi Carat and Pop 'N Pop.
