0.33b3 [Paul Leaman]


Bugs:

- When crashing on horizontal guard-rails, the car "teleports" into another part of the track. Kale (ID 00966)

- Points counter at the end of a game is broken. Kale (ID 00965)

- f1dreamb: [possible] On the "Monaco" course (the fourth) there's an invisible wall almost near to the last corner. Kale (ID 01100)


WIP:

- 0.155: David Haywood added clone F-1 Dream (bootleg, set 2). Changed description of clone (bootleg) to 'F-1 Dream (bootleg, set 1)'.

- 0.133u1: Changed VSync to 60.08 Hz in F-1 Dream.

- 0.123u5: Changed 68000 CPU1 clock speed to 10MHz and Z80 CPU2 to 3579545 Hz.

- 0.37b7: Fixed gfx2/3 rom loading.

- 0.36b15: Added prom ($0 - priority).

- 0.36b9: Changed clock speed of the 2x YM2203 to 3579545 Hz.

- 5th May 1999: Mike Coates fixed the F-1 Dream and Power Spikes 2 bug in the x86 assembler and probably also C cores.

- 0.35b13: Mike Coates fixed a couple of bugs in the 68000 emulation (both asm and C). They affected Power Spikes 2 and F1 Dream. Changed parent and clone descriptions to 'F-1 Dream'.

- 0.35b12: Mike Coates fixed F1 Dream protection workaround (note that the game still doesn't work correctly with the 68000 C core).

- 0.35b3: Eric Hustvedt simulated the 8751 protection in F1 Dream, but it seems to work on Macs only (endian issue?).

- 0.34b2: Paul Leaman added F1 Dream (bootleg), this one works. Nicola Salmoria fixed a bug in the 68000 BCD emulation which caused the F1 Dream timer to malfunction. Known issues: There's a sort of invisible wall in the last straight of the fourth circuit.

- 0.33b3: Paul Leaman added 'F1 Dream' (Capcom 1988). Preliminary due to protection, the original doesn't work.

- 22nd January 1998: Dumped F-1 Dream by Capcom.

History


Arcade Video game published 31 years ago:

F-1 Dream (c) 1988 Capcom Company, Limited.

An overhead-view F-1 racing game.

- TECHNICAL -

Main CPU : Motorola 68000 (@ 6 Mhz)
Sound CPU : Zilog Z80 (@ 4 Mhz)
Sound Chips : (2x) Yamaha YM2203 (@ 3.579545 Mhz)

Players : 2
Control : 8-way joystick
Buttons : 2

- TRIVIA -

F-1 Dream was released in April 1988.

Licensed to Romstar for US manufacture and distribution.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

F-1 Dream used a rather unusual control method for a driving game. To reach top speed, first hold down Button 1 - then, as the car picks up speed, release it and hold Button 2 to change to 2nd gear.

When driving the turbo car, activate the turbo boost by holding both buttons while at top speed.

There are two ways to decelerate, either by releasing Button 1 while at top speed (or in turbo mode) or by releasing both buttons simultaneously.

When in the pit, tap the buttons to make the repairs go faster.
