MAME Info:

0.80u2 [Bryan McPhail, Pierpaolo Prazzoli, David Haywood]


NOTE:

- To boot cntsteer, set a CPU #1 breakpoint on c225 and then 'do pc=c230'. Protection maybe?


WIP:

- 0.135u2: Fabio Priuli added save state support to Counter Steer driver.

- 0.131u1: Angelo Salese modified my coin_insertion() function to use ASSERT & CLEAR instead of PULSE_LINE.

- 0.130u1: More Counter Steer progress and improvements [Angelo Salese]. Added DAC sound.

- 13th March 2009: Angelo Salese - My road-trip pointed me to Counter Steer, the other GNW in the ZeroTarget driver. Seems to be similar but not the same HW as Zero Target, video part is improved/changed over the other game (for example the roz can do a full 360� rotation) and it currently needs a kludge to let it boot due of a weirdness into the communications. Colors uses default MAME palette because proms are undumped for this one, yay...

- 0.130: Added dipswitches 'Coin A/B', 'Service Mode', 'Difficulty' and 3x 'SYSTEM'.

- 0.129u6: Various improvements to the Zero Target / Counter Steer HW and cleaned-up the driver. Fixed foreground & background colors and hand-tuned sound in Zero Target based on a side-by-side test. Fixed sprite colors [Angelo Salese]. Added M6502 (1.5MHz) CPU1 and 2x AY-3-8910A (1.5MHz). Changed visible area to 240x256 and region cpu2 to audiocpu ($e000).

- 0.80u2: Bryan McPhail added Counter Steer (Data East 1985). Various things not yet understood.

- 28th December 1998: J-ROM dumped Counter Steer (CX-24) 1985 Data East Corporation.
