< Japan >

Bugs:

- Service mode characters are flipped on the Y-axis. Tafoid (ID 02789)

- If you shoot a ball, you'll see that there are two sprites on Player 1 seemed to be cut from the top. Player2 is fine as it shown in the images. king_krm (ID 00873)

WIP:

- 0.146u4: Fixed maincpu rom addresses.

- 0.129u1: Tafoid and Fujix added dipswitch settings from manual to Neratte Chu. Added dipswitches 'How To Play' and 'Flip Screen'. Changed 'Unknown' dipswitches to 'Unused'.

- 0.103u5: Sonikos fixed inputs and dips in Neratte Chu. Added 3rd button and dipswitches 'Coinage', 'VS Round', 'Demo Sounds' and 'Test Mode'.

- 0.101u5: Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed sprites wrap around in ST-0016 driver (needed in Neratte Chu).

- 0.86: Added dipswitches 'Difficulty' and 12x 'Unknown'.

- 0.81u7: R. Belmont and Tomasz Slanina added ST-0016 stereo sound to Neratte Chu.

- 19th April 2004: R. Belmont - Got addicted to Neratte Chu, and that lead to reverse-engineering and hooking up sound and music for the ST-0016. Haze pointed out one critical detail I was missing, and now it sounds pretty good!

- 0.81u6: Tomasz Slanina added 'Neratte Chu' (Seta 1996). Known issues: Missing text (sprites) in test mode (press down+button for video test) and dipswitches.

- 5th April 2004: Tomasz Slanina - More ST-0016 emulation progress with Nerrate Cyuh!

- 7th March 2004: Tomasz Slanina - More Seta ST-0016 stuff (in multicpu games only st-0016 is emulated): Neratte cyuh! (ST-0016) - Problems with rombanking.
