0.115u1 [f205v, David Haywood]
0.35b3 [Bryan McPhail]
WIP:
- 0.181: Added id8751h dump to Captain Silver (World), not hooked up yet. Dump look good, hookups appears to be slightly different to other games due to different main CPU and interrupt schemes, still investigating. These can probably be used for the japanese clone if the ID byte is changed to create a fake rom, as was done for the other sets in the driver [CAPS0ff].
- 9th December 2016: CAPS0ff - Decapped, deprotected and dumped Captain Silver Data East DX.19B. The basic idea is to erase the security fuse without erasing the EPROM content. From previous experiments, the fuse is known to be near the top middle of the die, reasonably far from the EPROM. So by masking the EPROM with a UV opaque material and erasing, the 8751 is de-protected and can simply be read out.
- 0.147u3: Various clean-ups of DEC8 HW, added irq ack mechanism to Captain Silver (they were commented out before) and hooked up SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS to all games in the driver [Angelo Salese].
- 0.145u4: Stephane Humbert fixed dipswitches and inputs (after verification of the M6809/HD6309 code) and added coinage simulation based on the dipswitches to Captain Silver. Added 'No Key for Door (Cheat)' dipswitch.
- 10th August 2010: Smitdogg - Kold666 sent me the Captain Silver chip D8751H for decapping.
- 8th July 2010: Smitdogg - Kold666 got and is sending me the 8751 from Captain Silver.
- 0.122u5: Corrado Tomaselli verified/corrected frequencies in Captain Silver. Changed M6809 CPU1/2 clock speeds to 1.5MHz.
- 0.115u1: David Haywood added Captain Silver (World). Renamed (csilver) to (csilverj).
- 5th May 2007: f205v dumped Captain Silver (World).
- 0.106u3: Changed 'Unknown' dipswitches to 'Unused'.
- 0.101u3: Fixed rom names.
- 0.101u2: Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed i8751 coin control in Captain Silver.
- 0.36b9: Changed M6502 CPU3 clock speed to 1.5MHz.
- 0.35b9: Changed description to 'Captain Silver (Japan)'.
- 0.35b7: Bryan McPhail fixed the in game timer in Captain Silver, this probably fixes other gameplay glitches. Changed input from 4 to 2 buttons.
- 19th March 1999: Bryan McPhail fixed some Captain Silver graphic lags.
- 15th March 1999: Bryan McPhail fixed graphics of Cobra Command, Captain Silver and Super Real Darwin.
- 0.35b3: Bryan McPhail added 'Captain Silver' (Data East 1987).
- 12th February 1999: A massive DEC8 games update from Bryan McPhail. New games include Gondomania, Mekyo Sensi, Last Mission (2 versions), Shackled, Breywood and Captain Silver.
- 11th April 1998: Malcor dumped Captain Silver (Japan) by DATA EAST.
LEVELS: 3 (needs to be restarted once to get the real end)
