0.36b16 [Bryan McPhail]


WIP:

- 0.129u4: Changed visible area to 224x400.

- 0.127u7: Stephane Humbert checked inputs and dipswitches via Z80 code analysis for World Wars and clone.

- 0.127u1: SNK rewrite [Nicola Salmoria]: Fixed sprite-sprite priorities. Removed ROM patches, simulated "turbo front" check, clarified the relationship between the sets, converted to tilemaps, proper memory maps and fixed inputs etc. Changed 'World Wars (World)' from a clone of Bermuda Triangle to parent 'World Wars (World?)'. Changed description of clone 'Bermuda Triangle (US older version)' to 'Bermuda Triangle (World Wars) (US)'.

- 0.62: Changed description of 'World Wars (Japan)' to 'World Wars (World)' and 'Bermuda Triangle (US early version)' to 'Bermuda Triangle (US older version)'.

- 0.36b16: Added 'Bermuda Triangle (US early version)' (SNK 1987) and World Wars (Japan).
