MAME Info:

0.74u2 [Tomasz Slanina]

0.63 [?]


TODO:

* DUMP Custom CPU (pack). Only (bootleg set 1) works.


WIP:

- 0.136u3: Renamed (countrb2) to (countrunb2) and (countrnb) to (countrunb).

- 0.126u3: Fixed proms names.

- 0.105u5: Sonikos cleaned up the Free Kick driver and matched the Z80 chip MHz to the "confirmed" MHz of Gigas (3072000 Hz).

- 0.85u2: Tomasz Slanina added clone Counter Run (bootleg set 1). Changed description of clone '(bootleg)' to 'Counter Run (bootleg set 2)'. Fixed dipswitches 'Lives' and 'Bonus Life' and removed 'Manufacturer'. Renamed (countrnb) to (countrb2).

- 0.74u2: Added Counter Run (Nihon System 1988 (Sega license)) and clone (bootleg).

- 0.70u5: Added clone Counter Run (bootleg) (Testdriver). Encrypted?

- 0.74u2: Added Counter Run (Nihon System 1988 (Sega license)) and (bootleg).

- 0.63: Added Counter Run (Testdriver). Note: We don't have the game rom data/program from inside the counter run CPU, hopefully somebody can work out how to dump it before all the boards die since it appears to be battery backed.

- 21st February 1999: Malcor dumped Counter Run.

- 5th October 1997: Highwayman dumped Counter Run, from SEGA ORIGINAL PCB (ENCRYPTED).
