0.36b4 [Ernesto Corvi, Tatsuyuki Satoh]

0.35b5 [Testdriver]


WIP:

- 0.36b14: Added cpu4 rom ($90000).

- 8th November 1999: Ernesto Corvi added proper emulation for Dragon Spirit, Dangerous Seed and Blazer key chips.

- 0.36b7: Added new gfx1/2/3, mcu and user roms. Added 2x DAC sound.

- 15th October 1999: Tatsuyuki Satoh sent in a Namco System 1 update with a correct romset for Blazer, DAC sound fixes and some other fixes to m6800.

- 10th September 1999: Tatsuyuki Satoh fixed Blazer build mask data.

- 0.36b4 Ernesto Corvi and Tatsuyuki Satoh added 'Blazer' (Namco 1987).

- 0.35b5: Ernesto Corvi added (Testdriver) Blazer.

- 4th March 1999: Ernesto Corvi submitted the Namco System 1 driver with support for Pacmania and Galaga 88. The Namco System 1 driver is still very slow and sprites are screwed. Pacmania and Galaga 88 are the games that work best, Dragon Spirits is almost there, Splatter House and Blazer have missing graphics and World Stadium 90 has protection problems.
