TODO:

* Wanted: 317-0194/195 FD1094 CPUs

NOTE:

- The coin slot #1 (5 key) doesn't actually add credits to the game, although it *does* play a credit added sound ingame when pressed. Only coin slot #2 (6 key) and coin slot #3 (7 key) work correctly. This is not really a bug as it is accurately documenting the hardware. It's more of a limitation of MAME not having dynamic inputs. The current setting is necessary because if the DIP setting is changed to individual coin chute, coin1 becomes the player1 coin. An alternate solution might be to make individual coin chute the default setting. BSR

WIP:

- 0.166: David Haywood added clones 'Desert Breaker (Japan) (bootleg of FD1094 317-0194 set)' and 'Desert Breaker (World) (bootleg of FD1094 317-0196 set)'.

- 0.138: Team Japump and Dumping Union added clone Desert Breaker (Japan, FD1094 317-0194). Yasuhiroyasuhiro fixed coinage of Desert Breaker. Fixed rom names. Changed parent description to 'Desert Breaker (World, FD1094 317-0196)'.

- 0.95u6: Changed 'Unknown' dipswitch to 'Unused'. Added 3rd coin slot.

- 0.90u4: Aaron Giles added P3 start button to Desert Breaker.

- 0.90: Aaron Giles, Gerald and Thierry fixed sound in Desert Breaker with new roms.

- 0.89u5: Added dipswitches 'Credits to Start', 'Demo Sounds', 'Play Mode', 'Coin Chute', 'Start Button' and 'Difficulty'. Renamed (dbrkr) to (desertbr).

- 0.89u4: Gerald added 'Desert Breaker (FD1094 317-0196)' (Sega 1992).

- 10th December 2004: Gerald - Redumped the Desert Breaker gfx roms from another board, it looks much better now.

- 8th December 2004: Gerald - Dumped Desert Breaker (including CPU key) but some of the tile roms are bad reads.

Arcade Video game published 27 years ago:

Desert Breaker (c) 1992 Sega.

- TECHNICAL -

Game ID : 317-0196

Runs on the Sega "System 18" hardware.

Players : 3
Control : 8-way joystick
Buttons : 3

- TRIVIA -

Desert Breakers is Sega's attempt to cash-in on the success of Capcom's "Mercs". The Sega game looks and indeed plays almost exactly like Capcom's 1990 classic - itself a sequel to the legendary "Commando", released in 1985.

This game is hard to find because Sega produced only a few boards because the game was based on the Iraqi war, and particulary focused on Japanese's military interventions. According to the Japanese constitution, the Japan can't build army or do any military intervention. This video game can be considered as a sort of opposition to the Japanese politicians.
