MAME Info:
0.61 [Bryan McPhail]
WIP:
- 0.139u3: Aaron Giles moved the old hard-coded EEPROM data out into a file in Beast Busters.
- 0.137u4: Howard Casto added new output handling functions and hooked up outputs for Beast Busters.
- 0.133u1: Renamed (bbusteru) to (bbustersu).
- 0.128u4: Brian Hargrove added clone Beast Busters (US, Version 2). Changed parent description to 'Beast Busters (World)'. David Haywood tweaked gun handling in Beast Busters a bit, by halving the precision of the guns to 7-bit they can be calibrated more easily, maybe the originals were like this. Added also a default EEPROM with them calibrated in a 'reasonable' way for MAME. Sound is pretty awful on this, maybe the sound ROMs should be checked? Adjusted volume balance slightly.
- 0.128u2: Mamesick updated the Beast Buster driver that fixes the service mode issues (the game freezed at a black screen after you calibrated the guns and wanted to exit).
- 0.126u2: Aaron Giles merged memory maps in Beast Buster.
- 0.124: Zsolt Vasvari fixed sprite wrapping in Beast Busters, this is used on the gun calibration screen, at least. The game still hangs on a black screen after service mode is turned off. Even exiting MAME and restarting doesn't fix it, so it's probably a EEPROM issue.
- 0.123u6: RansAckeR added DIP locations to Beast Busters. Also added note regarding correct gun calibration.
- 0.86u4: Inigo Luja fixed DIPs in Beast Buster.
- 0.85u3: Added coin slots 5 and 6.
- 0.61: Bryan McPhail added Beast Busters (World ?) (SNK 1989).
- 3rd June 2002: Bryan McPhail sent in a driver for Beast Busters and Mechanized Attack.
