MAME Info:
0.36b1 [Phil Stroffolino]
WIP:
- 0.127u2: Nicola Salmoria merged Marvin's Maze with SNK driver, with all resulting fixes (removed hacks, correct shadows, scroll offsets etc). Replaced Namco sound with SNK Wave (8MHz). Fixed emulation of the "SNK Wave" custom sound and made it into a proper sound core. Fixed palette decoding of early SNK games (Marvin's Maze). The least significan bits were assigned incorrectly. Fixed sp16_tiles rom loading. Changed visible area to 216x288 and VSync to 60Hz.
- 0.124u5: Robiza fixed screen flip support.
- 0.124: Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed Player 2 mode (the maze remains unchanged).
- 0.93: Added clock parameter to Namco sound (31250 Hz).
