0.61 [Testdriver]


Bugs:

- halley87, halleysc, halleycj: Priority glitch between hiscore text and background. Kold666 (ID 03594)

- halley87, halleysc, halleycj: Sound support incomplete. Kold666 (ID 03595)


WIP:

- 0.175: Removed goto:s and somewhat simplified the readability of the video driver [Joakim Larsson Edstrom, O. Galibert].

- 0.142u4: Angelo Salese removed deprecat.h usage in the Halleys driver.

- 0.136u1: Corrado Tomaselli verified and corrected clocks in Halley's Comet. Changed VSync to 59.5 Hz.

- 0.131u2: Fabio Priuli fixed Halley's Comet sound: AY8910 write handlers work on two bytes.

- 0.131u1: MooglyGuy merged memory maps in the Halleys driver.

- 0.128u3: Stephane Humbert fixed dipswitches for all Halley games. Added DIP locations for 'halleys' and clones. Added dipswitches 'Operation Data Recorder', 'Infinite Lives (Cheat)', 'Coin Slots' and 9x 'Unused'.

- 0.122u1: Corrado Tomaselli verified some CPU clocks of original boards using a frequency counter, changed Halley Comet main CPU clock to 1.664MHz (it's not a mistake, the clock is very low).

- 20th September 2006: Dumping Project - Purchased Halley's Comet '87 (Taito, very Rare). Thank go to the fivepeople who recently donated after the last request. A special thanks goes to Kevin.

- 0.108u1: Brian Troha fixed collision detection in clone Halley's Comet '87.

- 0.108: Added clone Halley's Comet '87. Changed description of clones (Japan set 1) to 'Halley's Comet (Japan, Newer)' and (Japan set 2) to 'Halley's Comet (Japan, Older)'.

- 0.72u1: Misc improvements, cleanups and fixes to the Halleys driver [Acho A. Tang]. Changed palettesize to 1536 colors.

- 12th August 2003: Acho A. Tang re-submitted Halley's Comet collision detection.

- 13th March 2003: Acho A. Tang added better collision detection to the Halley's Comet driver.

- 0.66: Added 'Halley's Comet (US)' (Taito 1986) and clones (Japan set 1) and (Japan set 2).

- 9th March 2003: Acho A. Tang submitted major improvements to the Halley's Comet and Ben Bero Beh driver, they are almost perfect now.

- 12th January 2003: Phil Stroffolino sent in an updated Halley's Comet driver that is pretty close to playable, but some blitter problems still remain.

- 4th September 2002: Phil Stroffolino sent in an update to the Halley's Comet driver. The title screen works but it crashes after a few seconds into the game, and the graphics emulation is missing a lot of things.

- 0.61: Added (Testdrivers) Halley's Comet (set 1) and clones (set 2) and (Japan).

- 24th June 2002: Jarek Burczynski added sound to Halley's Comet, but it isn't otherwise improved.

- 8th June 2002: Phil Stroffolino sent in another small update to Halley's Comet.

- 7th June 2002: Phil Stroffolino sent in a preliminary Halley's Comet driver that works up to the test mode.

- 19th May 2002: Nicola Salmoria cleaned up the bare bones Halley's Comet driver, but did not progress any further.

- 7th May 2002: Jarek Burczynski decoded the program code in Halley's Comet but the driver doesn't do anything else yet.

- 1st November 2001: Neurokinetik dumped Halley's Comet (US).

- 4th February 2000: Gansuke from Team Japump dumped Halley's Comet (Japan, Older).

- 22nd February 1999: Tormod Tjaberg dumped Halley's Comet (Japan, Older) and (Japan, Newer). Board supplied by Andie.
