0.60 [David Haywood, Stephan Humbert, Nicola Salmoria]

WIP:

- 0.164: Added M68705 MCU rom. Note: Another PCB was found with the 68705 populated. Maybe it was never used?

- 0.158: Osso added save state support to Xyonix.

- 0.136u2: Atari Ace converted Xyonix to use driver_data structure.

- 0.60: David Haywood and Stephane Humbert added Xyonix (Philko 1989). TODO: There are some more unknown commands for the I/O chip.

- 27th April 2002: Stephane Humbert fixed the dipswitches in Xyonix.

- 26th April 2002: Nicola Salmoria fixed the controls and sound in Xyonix, and added the correct color PROM.

- 25th April 2002: David Haywood and Stephane Humbert wrote a driver for Xyonix, but it is missing controls, has wrong colors and sound hasn't been emulated.

- 31st July 2000: Guru - Dumped Xyonix.

LEVELS: 7 (endless)

- TRIVIA -

The totems you can see during the gameplay are called "Jangseung" (village guardian), Jangseungs, usually made of wood, were traditionally placed at the edges of villages to mark for village boundaries and frighten away demons. They were also worshipped as village tutelary deities.

On the Jangseungs' body is written 'Chunha Dae Jangoon' (translated from Korean as 'The Great General Under Heaven').

When you finish a stage, you can hear the famous folk song 'Ariang'.
