0.153 [Unigame]


WIP:

- 0.153: Unigame added 'Aaargh (Arcadia)' (Arcadia Systems 1988). Improvements. It can probably be considered working now [David Haywood].

- 2nd February 2014: David Haywood - Yesterday marked the final Unigame meeting, there were less boards available to dump this time around, but one that did get dumped was the often mentioned 'Aaargh' by Arcadia Systems. This game is slightly unusual in that it doesn't use the Arcadia bios, the rom board plugs straight into the Amiga motherboard meaning it can't be used in a multi-game setup. Other than that it's a similar deal to the rest, same type of encryption, similar memory mappings, the same I/O etc. It took a little bit of time to figure out (mainly because I hadn't realised it didn't work on a multi-game setup) but with everything hooked up it appears to play fine. This just leaves 'Pool' and 'Rockford' in the list of 'known but undumped' titles in the Arcadia driver. Hopefully they'll surface one day. Thanks to Unigame for allowing this to be dumped.
