0.36b2 [Aaron Giles]
Bugs:
- Possible glitch on some of the ending screens. Smitdogg (ID 02356)
WIP:
- 0.172: SOUNDCPU rom loading cleanups [Osso].
- 0.156: Tilemap assert fix in Batman [Alex Jackson].
- 0.150: Added 2k batman-eeprom.bin EEPROM.
- 0.149u1: Added 'Atari JSA II Sound Board' sound.
- 0.147u2: Initial round of atarigen cleanup/modernization [Aaron Giles].
- 0.146: hap fixed atarivc_eof tag and shortened playfield_upper(15 chars) tag to playfield_up. This fixed missing/corrupted graphics in Batman.
- 0.143u4: Changed 68000 CPU1 clock speed to 14318181 Hz.
- 0.139u3: Aaron Giles moved the old hard-coded EEPROM data out into a file in Batman.
- 0.139u1: Aaron Giles changed atarigen_state to be a base class from which all the related Atari drivers derive their state from.
- 0.135u4: Some more Atari driver shuffling [Aaron Giles]: Added atarigen_init() function which allocates all timers and registers for save states. Updated all drivers to call it. Converted some drivers to use device timers.
- 0.135u3: Aaron Giles converted atari drivers over to using driver_data for the most part. Some shared systems still exist with globals, but this tackles the atarigen module and the variables local to each driver.
- 0.132u4: Fixed ADPCM rom loading.
- 0.123u6: Couriersud fixed fails to load autosave state. Aaron Giles fixed video\atarimo render-based drivers crash when loading an autosave save state.
- 0.122u4: Changed M6502 CPU2 clock speed to 1789772 Hz, YM2151 to 3579545 Hz and OKI6295 to 1193181 Hz.
- 0.114u2: Aaron Giles and Couriersud added more accurate video timing to most of the Atari 68000-era games. The parameters are from published specs, not derived. The board uses a VAD chip to generate video signals. Changed VSync to 59.922743 Hz.
- 0.114: Couriersud added save state to Batman and general save state support to the atarijsa and atarigen modules.
- 0.105u4: Aaron Giles added PLD dumps to Batman. Updated address map (verified from schematics and GALs). Added plds ($0, 200, 400, 600, 800, a00, c00, e00 - gal16v8a-136085). Fixed rom names.
- 0.37b15: Fixed gfx2/3 rom loading. Changed M6502 CPU2 clock speed to 1789500, YM2151 to 3579000 and OKI6295 to 9037 Hz. Fixed gfx2/3 rom addresses.
- 0.36RC1: Changed 68000 CPU1 clock speed to 14318180 Hz, M6502 to 1789772 Hz, YM2151 to 3579545 Hz and OKI6295 to 9039 Hz.
- 0.36b2: Aaron Giles added 'Batman' (Atari Games 1991).
- 2nd August 1999: Aaron Giles sent in another huge Atari update with another Hydra (prototype) set, Thunderjaws driver, Batman driver and Relief Pitcher driver.
