0.124u1 [Phil Bennett]


Floppy Disk required (guab3.dsk)


WIP:

- 0.164: Updated driver to use the standard WD floppy controller. This also means that it now uses the software list system instead of loading the floppy disk image into a memory region. To run the driver use: "mame guab -flop guab3" now. You may also just start the driver, then choose a floppy disk image from the builtin file manager [Dirk Best].

- 1st August 2010: Smitdogg - alien_mame got a bunch of versions of Give Us A Break.

- 0.132u1: Anonymous and alien_mame added clones Give us a Break (3rd edition alt?), Give us a Break (4th edition), Give us a Break (6th edition alt?), Give us a Break (7th edition), Give us a Break (21st edition) and Give us a Break (43rd edition). Changed clone 'Give us a Break (3rd edition)' to parent. Renamed (guab) to (guab6) and (guab3) to (guab).

- 0.129u2: Phil Bennett fixed Give us a Break - Game now playable.

- 0.124u1: Phil Bennett added 'Give us a Break (6th edition)' (JPM 1986) and clone (3rd edition).

- 23rd March 2008: Phil Bennett - A couple of early British pub quiz games (Give us a Break (BBC Radio 1's 1986), Ten Up (JPM 1988)). These games load from a 3.5" double density disk! It's simple framebuffer video hardware based around a 68000 and a TMS34061 CRTC. The TMS serves as a handy DRAM controller; disk data is uploaded to the abundant supply of video DRAM and executed from there.
