MAME Info:

0.100u1 [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]


< German >


WIP:

- 0.129u6: Added dipswitches 'PIA0.B', 'PIA1.A', 'PIA1.B' and 'PIA2.B'.

- 0.108u4: wolf676 cleaned up dipswitches and documentation in the Coinmaster driver. This fixed Quizmaster (German) - Game now playable. Changed description to 'Quizmaster (German)', manufacturer to 'Loewen Spielautomaten' and input from 4 to 6 buttons.

- 0.100u1: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added Quizmaster (Coinmaster 1985).

- 9th September 2005: Pierpaolo Prazzoli - I started to re-look at Coinmaster's trivia games: Quiz Master (1985), Trail Blazer (1987) and Super Nudge 2 (1989). They're really weird. They use a 46 x 64 tilemap with videoram starting at offset $240 and using the previous offsets as main ram. Also tile banking is strange. They use an attribute ram for every banking address bit they need (so in games with $400 tiles, they have 2 attributes rams with all the other 14 bits used and still unknown). I don't know if they have a hard-coded palette or if they use a strange paletteram format.

- 21st March 2005: Guru - Quizmaster (Coinmaster 1984) arrived. Purchased by Randy privately.
