0.89u2 [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

0.59 [Mike Coates, Stephane Humbert]


WIP:

- 0.167: Fixed Digitalker speed. The interrupt command was triggered at the end of the post-sample blank instead of at the start. It's a tight guess but is on par with real hardware footage of Scorpion [kazblox].

- 0.155: Osso fixed Scorpion save state regression.

- 0.148u2: Corrected rom labels for Scorpion. Redumped clone Scorpion (set 2) - Game now playable [Tirino73]. Added new maincpu rom ($3000) to clone (set 2). Added digitalker rom ($0) from (set 2) to Scorpion (set 1).

- 0.148u1: Modernized Digitalker sound device [Andrew Gardner].

- 0.136u4: f205v added clone Aracnis (bootleg of Scorpion on Moon Cresta hardware).

- 15th February 2010: f205v dumped Aracnis (bootleg 1982) of Scorpion.

- 0.133u5: Couriersud fixed missing sound in Scorpion and clones.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (scorpnmc) to (scorpionmc), (scrpiona) to (scorpiona) and (scrpionb) to (scorpionb).

- 0.131u4: Olivier Galibert fixed Digitalker mode 2.

- 0.129u1: Olivier Galibert added Digitalker (4MHz) speech emulation to Scorpion.

- 0.124u1: Added Discrete sound. Changed visible area to 224x768 and palettesize to 32 colors.

- 0.122u5: Couriersud fixed Cocktail dipswitch settings in Scorpion.

- 0.118u6: David Haywood added clone Scorpion (set 3).

- 27th August 2007: f205v and Corrado Tomaselli dumped Scorpion (set 3). Speech chip is a digitalker MM54104, 100% certain of it. The wavefile shows the distinctive half-period zeroing. The voice roms are already dumped, they're at 32_a3.6e, 32_a2.6d and 32_a1.6c, concatenated in that order. There are 45 words, most if not all of which are from the standard national semiconductor SSR1/SSR2 set.

- 0.104u5: Aaron Giles fixed Scorpion doesn't pass the ram/rom initializing.

- 5th December 2005: f205v dumped Scorpion (on galaxy). EPROM sc04 is BROKEN. Protective glass is smashed and the chip is not working at all. Blister only, no PCB.

- 0.89u4: Chaneman added 'Difficulty' dipswitch. Swapped sound1 roms ($0, 2000). Changed parent and clone descriptions to 'Scorpion'.

- 0.89u2: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added 'Scoprion (set 1)' (Zaccaria 1982) and clone (set 2).

- 0.63: Changed description to 'Scorpion (Moon Cresta hardware)'. Renamed (scorpng) to (scorpnmc).

- 0.59: Mike Coates added 'Scorpion (bootleg on Galaxian hardware)' (Dorneer 19??).

- 9th February 2002: Stephane Humbert fixed the dipswitches, inputs and a few other problems in the Galaxian driver, and re-added the Scorpion bootleg running on the Galaxian hardware.

- 18th October 2001: Mike Coates added a bootleg version of Scorpion running on Galaxian hardware, but the addition isn't complete yet.
