0.68 [Testdriver]
< Japan >
WIP:
- 0.168: Replaced ALPHA-8301 CPU3 with HD44801.
- 0.167: Small cleanup [hap].
- 0.160: Osso added save state support to Shougi.
- 0.159: Lord Nightmare renamed the Alpha-8xxx MCU dumps to better reflect the actual chip labels and the fact that they are HD44801 MCUs.
- 0.136u2: Atari Ace converted Shougi to use driver_data structure.
- 0.123u6: Nicola Salmoria fixed Shougi inputs, CPU gameplay and Alpha 8201/830x MCU simulation. Added ALPHA-8201 cpu3 rom ($0). Removed buttons 3-4 and coin slots 3-4. Added dipswitches 'Time' and 4x 'Unknown'.
- 0.104u8: Tatsuyuki Satoh added emulation of the Alpha 8201/8301 MCU and connected it to Shougi - Game now playable. Added ALPHA-8201 (312500 HZ) CPU3.
- 0.91u2: Added vidhrdw\res_net.c.
- 0.74u2: Added Shougi (Alpha Denshi 198?).
- 0.69: Toby Broyad fixed merging of sets in Shougi.
- 0.68: Added Shougi (Testdrivers). TODO: Game use custom MCU: ALPHA 8201. It's connected to the RAM that is shared with the first CPU. CPU controls MCU (probably to run and stop it). 1 player game doesn't work at all.
- 7th April 2003: Jarek Burczynski improved the Shougi driver, but it's still not playable due to an unemulated MCU.
- 25th March 2003: Jarek Burczynski sent in a preliminary Shougi driver that isn't playable because of a custom MCU.
- 14th August 2002: Guru - Received Shougi (Alpha '82) from Japan. The Dumping Project wishes to thanks all the people who have contributed funds.
