WIP:
- 0.128u5: Atari Ace fixed Jump Bug, which won't start second time around.
- 17th December 2006: Mr. Do - Thanks to the loan by Vintage Arcade Superstore, we have a scan of the generic Rockola bezel, which Zorg vectored quite nicely. For now, I added in a blank red instruction card until we get the real thing. This gives us a bezel for Jump Bug.
- 15th March 2000: Zsolt Vasvari fixed the star field in Jump Bug.
- 0.35b9: Zsolt Vasvari emulated the protection in Jump Bug (Rock-ola). Some ROM splitup too, and fixed colors. Changed palettesize to 97 colors. Renamed (jbugsega) to (jumpbugb).
- 26th March 1999: Zsolt Vasvari merged Jump Bug with Galaxian and emulated the protection.
- 0.34b6: Added color prom 6331-1.11r.
- 0.29: Juan Carlos Lorente added high score saving to Jump Bug.
- 0.26: Nicola fixed Jump Bug driver which is now perfect. Colors are still wrong without proms.
- 0.18: Nicola Salmoria fixed bugs in the Jump Bug sound driver which caused page faults when run under DOS.
- 0.16: Richard Davies and Brad Oliver provided a driver for Jump Bug (bootleg) ("jbugsega"). It's actually a bootleg with the protection checks removed. Game is playable and the driver supports sound. Control: Arrows = Move around, CTRL = Fire and ALT = Jump. Known issues: "jumpbug" doesn't work - the protection is not emulated. "jbugsega" has the protection checks removed, so it works. Graphics are wrong - the game has multiple character banks, not emulated yet.
- 0.14: Jump Bug seems to run on hardware similar to Super Cobra [Nicola Salmoria].
- 0.12: Preliminary support for Jump Bug (Rock-ola 1981) [Nicola Salmoria]. It uses a modified Scramble driver, the hardware seems to be similar. It's not playable (the input bits are not even mapped), and resets after a few seconds. I'm not particularly interested in this game, anyone volunteers to complete the driver?
