MAME Info:

0.33b3 [Howie Cohen]


WIP:

- 0.135u4: Tafoid added DIP locations as well as assigned XTAL for the clock speeds to Hexa, using those from Arkanoid, since the boards are nearly identical in many aspects. Changed Z80 CPU1 clock speed to 6MHz.

- 0.135u1: Fabio Priuli added driver data struct and save state support to Hexa.

- 0.131u1: MooglyGuy merged memory maps in Hexa.

- 6th June 2006: Guru - Hexa (D.R. Korea 199?) arrived from Korea today (different music). Thanks to GP-Lee.

- 0.34b3: Juan Carlos Lorente added high score saving to Hexa.
