0.35RC2 [Quench]


TEST MODE:

- To enter the "test mode", press START1 when the grid is displayed.

- Press F1 (initially P1 button 3) on startup to skip some video RAM tests.


WIP:

- 0.155: Toaplan Sprite Controller (SCU) cleanup and update [Alex Jackson].

- 0.153: Converted Wardner to bankdev [hap]. Only use bankdev for read [Alex Jackson]. Changed region gfx4 to scu.

- 0.147: Small formating change, so I can automate things easier [Miodrag Milanovic].

- 0.146u4: By manually handling the memory mapping, performance is greatly improved in Wardner driver compared to modern memory system defaults. Modern system is left in code as a #define to use if/when banking performance is improved. This fixed slowdown due to memory mapping changes in MAME 0.139u2 [David Haywood]. Cleanup [hap].

- 0.146: Aaron Giles fixed Wardner crash after OK.

- 0.144: Alex Jackson and Kanikani added DIP locations and missing inputs to Wardner. Added 'Test Switch' dipswitch.

- 0.141u2: Alex Jackson added MCFG_SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS to Wardner, correcting their refresh rates. Changed VSync to 54.877858 Hz.

- 0.137u1: Updates to Wardner driver [Quench]: Added 6845 CRTC interface. Corrected some clock speeds. Changed Z80 CPU1 and YM3812 clock speeds to 3.5MHz and VSync to 54Hz.

- 0.136u4: Stephane Humbert fixed dipswitches and inputs in Wardner and clones (after verification of the Z80 code).

- 0.128u6: Added save states support to Wardner.

- 0.122u6: Changed TMS32010 CPU3 clock speed to 14MHz.

- 0.105u4: Aaron Giles fixed Wardner ram/rom bankswitching.

- 0.105u2: Changed region user1 to cpu3. Fixed cpu3 rom loading.

- 0.80: Quench converted Wardner to tilemaps, corrected savestate setup, little cleanups to the machine code and adjustments for TMS32010 internal data map. Changed TMS32010 clock speed to 3.5MHz.

- 2nd March 2004: Quench added internal data memory map to the TMS32010 CPU core and fixed overflow in the ADDH instruction, and adjusted the Twin Cobra / Wardner, Toaplan1 and Hard Drivin' drivers accordingly.

- 0.67: Changed description of clone 'Wardna no Mori (Japan)' to 'Wardner no Mori (Japan)'.

- 0.62: Changed TMS32010 CPU3 clock speed to 14MHz.

- 0.37b9: Changed cpu3 roms to user1.

- 0.37b6: Fixed cpu1/3 rom loading.

- 18th July 2000: Quench fixed Wardner to work with recent install_mem_handler changes.

- 0.36RC1: Added 4th button. Changed description of clone 'Wardner no Mori (Japan)' to 'Wardna no Mori (Japan)'.

- 0.36b11: Added 8x user1 roms (Co-Processor TMS320C10 MCU code) and proms ($0, 100, 200, 220, 240 - sprite control).

- 1st December 1999: Quench added new MCU roms to Wardner.

- 4th July 1999: Quench did some Wardner fixes.

History


Arcade Video game published 32 years ago:

Wardner (c) 1987 Taito Corp.

Two young children, Pyros and Erika, have unexpectedly strayed into a wonderland called 'Wardner's Forest'. Upon entering the magical forest, the young girl is changed into a crystal ball by evil warlock and ruler of the forest, 'Wardner'. She is taken to a secret place deep inside the woods. The brave young Pyros, armed only with a magical flame as a weapon, sets out to rescue his female companion from the clutches of the evil Wardner and bring her safely home.

At the end of every level, Pyros enters a shop. The player can use any gold that has been collected on route to buy useful items; such as extra health, time and more powerful weapons. Wardner is an accomplished and playable platform game with smooth, colourful graphics and finely honed gameplay.

Developed by Toaplan.

Released in December 1987.

This game is known in Japan as "Wardner no Mori [TP-009]" (translates from Japanese as Wardner's Forest) and in US as "Pyros".

Toaplan released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Tatsujin : Toaplan Game Music Scene One - H24X-10005) on 25/06/1989.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

This trick will allow players to get the cape on the first level without the risk of losing a life. Stand next to the hole where the cape is, then hold DOWN and slowly tap the joystick to the RIGHT. If done correctly, Pyros should slowly inch his way underneath the two platforms and can then grab the cape without any problem.
