0.84u3 [Brian Troha]

0.75 [Tomasz Slanina]


WIP:

- 0.148: Brian Troha added DIP locations to the Twin Falcons sets. Changed 'Unknown' dipswitch to 'Unused'. Removed 12x 'Unknown' dipswitches.

- 0.125u2: Removed button 3 and 4.

- 0.108u4: Fixed rom names.

- 0.84u3: Brian Troha added 'Twin Falcons' (Philko (Poara Enterprises license) 1989).

- 0.84: Brian Troha improved dipswitches in Whizz. Added 'Difficulty' dipswitch and changed 'First Bonus' to 'Bonus Life' dipswitch.

- 0.79: Chris Hardy, David Haywood and Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed Whizz - Game now playable. Added new cpu1 rom ($0) and gfx2 rom ($40000). Replaced the 2x YM2203 sound with YM2151. Added 2nd Player and button 4. Added dipswitches 'Flip Screen', 'First Bonus', 'Demo Sounds', 'Lives' and 17x 'Unknown'.

- 25th January 2004: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added sound and fixed some dipswitch settings in Whizz.

- 0.75: Tomasz Slanina added Whizz (Philko 1989). Main program rom appears to be bad, maybe a gfx rom too.

- 12th October 2003: Tomasz Slanina sent in a very preliminary driver for Whizz which only works up to the title screen.
