0.61 [Acho A. Tang]


Samples required


WIP:

- 0.181: Use 8155 device in Equites. Attempt at fixing 8155 timer behavior so 8085 doesn't lose interrupts [AJR].

- 0.168: Get rid of Equites POPDRUMKIT [hap]. Replaced ALPHA-8301 CPU3 with HD44801.

- 0.130u2: Phil Bennett fixed Equites ingame strange noise.

- 0.127u1: Nicola Salmoria added 8303 rom to Equites and clone (Sega) and updated MCU simulation to match the new findings.

- 28th August 2008: Corrado Tomaselli dumped the MCU8303 rom.

- 0.125u4: Added coin slots.

- 0.125u2: Removed coin slots.

- 0.123u6: Added ALPHA-8301 (500000 Hz) CPU3. Changed MSM5232 clock speed to 6144000 Hz. Added Samples (bongo1, bongo2, bongo3.wav). Fixed gfx2/3 rom loading. Changed region user1/2 to proms and sound1.

- 12th August 2003: Acho A. Tang re-submitted Equites music and zooming.

- 21st January 2003: Acho A. Tang tuned music in Equites.

- 0.61: Acho A. Tang added Equites (Alpha Denshi 1984) and clone (Sega).

- 29th June 2002: Stephane Humbert fixed the inputs and dipswitches in the Equites driver, and Bryan McPhail added a non-Sega licensed version to it.

- 26th June 2002: Acho A. Tang added the missing Equites ROMs to the driver to fix the missing graphics.

- 23rd June 2002: Acho A. Tang submitted drivers for Equites, Bull Fighter, The Koukouyakyuh, Splendor Blast and High Voltage. They are all playable and have sound, though the MCU emulation is not complete so there may be gameplay errors.

- 26th October 1998: J-ROM dumped Equites (Sega).
