Bugs:
- Roller Ace PCB sound recording. This game has a lot of discrete components for sound effects. Kold666 (ID 00238)
WIP:
- 0.180: Osso hooked up coin counters in Roller Aces driver.
- 0.178: Angelo Salese fixed scrolling in Fighting Roller/Roller Aces. This fixed the scrolling bar of initials does not work properly, when you insert your initials. Actually it fixed also "landscape scrolling" when turning right landscape is supposed to go left, not the other way around. Converted driver foreground to tilemap system and fixed flip flags in it, fixes service mode in clone Roller Aces (set 2). Also fixed a wrap-around regression. Changed visible area to 224x256.
- 0.159: Osso added save state support to Roller Aces driver and removed unneeded prefixes.
- 0.142u3: Angelo Salese removed deprecat.h dependancy and updated irqs accordingly for Fighting Roller.
- 0.141u3: Atari Ace duplicated some code (palette related) between drivers (Fighting Roller driver).
- 0.131u1: Angelo Salese merged memory maps in Fighting Roller.
- 0.122u6: Corrado Tomaselli verified and changed CPU frequencies. Changed Z80 CPU1 clock speed to 3MHz and Z80 CPU2 to 1.5MHz.
- 0.114u2: Corrado Tomaselli converted Roller Aces to stereo sound like the real hardware. Fixed the clocks and NMI rates to match the PCB. Changed Z80 CPU1/2 clock speeds to 4MHz and the 3x AY8910 to 1.5MHz.
- 0.77u3: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added clone Roller Aces (set 2). Changed visible area to 224x240. Changed parent description to 'Roller Aces (set 1)'. Renamed (rollrace) to (rollace).
