0.67 [Bryan McPhail]

0.58 [Testdriver]


WIP:

- 0.149u1: [M] added clone Dragon Gun (Japan). Begin creation of modern DECO 146 device with info from Charles MacDonald (machine\deco146.c). Put Dragon Gun through the generic protection implementation. Some findings about the DVI playback, also stopped the hang when killing the last boss [David Haywood].

- 0.145u2: Documentation of the video data on Dragon Gun [David Haywood]. This just attempts to parse some of the header structures in the DVI data Dragon Gun uses, see http://www.fileformat.info/format/dvi/egff.htm. I don't know if there are any software decoders for this format, I think it was a hardware solution? The Dragon Gun data doesn't seem to have all fields filled in. Hopefully somebody who actually understands video (de)compression can actually flesh this out.

- 0.145: David Haywood corrected loading for Dragon Gun video data, identified as standard DVI data (unsurprising, game has a DVI logo).

- 0.131u3: Fabio Priuli fixed unable to move crosshair in Dragon Gun.

- 0.115u1: R. Belmont and Ryan Holtz fixed carry flag calculation for SUB/SBC/CMP family instructions in the ARM core. This fixed energy of last guy in Dragon Gun.

- 0.111u5: Canim fixed Dragon Gun input port. Added dipswitches 'Debug Mode' and 'Reset'.

- 0.111u2: Aaron Giles improved cycle timings in the ARM CPU core. Altered the DECO32 CPU clocks to be more realistic. Changed ARM CPU1 clock speed to 7MHz.

- 0.102u2: Fixed rom names.

- 0.70u4: Brian Troha fixed rom names in Dragon Gun.

- 24th March 2003: Bryan McPhail sent in a major update to the Deco32 driver, making Dragon Gun playable, Locked 'n Loaded almost playable and Tattoo Assassins fully playable with graphics, thanks to Stiletto for tracking down a working boardset of this ultra rare game.

- 0.67: Bryan McPhail added 'Dragon Gun (US)' (Data East 1993).

- 0.58: Bryan McPhail added (Testdriver) Dragon Gun (US). ARM CPU emulation [Bryan McPhail, Phil Stroffolino].
