0.93u3 [Corrado Tomaselli / MAME Italian Forum, David Haywood]

0.92 [?]

WIP:

- 0.145u5: David Haywood fixed pellets in Twinkle no longer bounce during gameplay. Added dipswitches 'Lives', 'Pellet Animations' and 4x 'Unknown'.

- 0.95u1: Sonikos added 'Free Play' and removed 'Lives' dipswitch.

- 0.93u3: Added protdata.bin rom - Game now playable. The protdata.bin rom is not a real rom but instead the data extracted from shared ram, the MCU puts it there. Changed 'Hyper Pacman (set 2)' to parent 'Twinkle'. Renamed (hyperpaa) to (twinkle).

- 0.92: Added clone Hyper Pacman (set 2). Note: 87c52.mcu rom can't be dumped.

- 4th February 2005: f205v dumped Twinkle (1997).

- 17th December 2004: Dumping Project - Randy have collaborated with the MAME Italian Forum to win a graphically interesting Italian "Hyper Pac-Man" bootleg called "Twinkle" (big thanks to Sophitia and the rest of the Forum on that one).
