MAME Info:

0.86u1 [Brian Troha]

0.74u2 [?]

0.71 [smf, MooglyGuy]


WIP:

- 31st January 2010: R. Belmont - I picked up Olivier Galibert's in-progress Panasonic MN10200 CPU core and am adapting it for MAME (he was debugging it in a standalone M1-like program). This is used to drive the music in Taito games such as Raystorm and Ray Crisis. WARNING: This does not mean there will be music in those games any time soon. The CPU core is not fully operational (interrupts are ad-hoc at best, the timers are not emulated, and there are probably buggy opcodes) and the ZOOM wavetable playback chip is not emulated. So all this is going to do near-term is make those games slower. This *is* MAME.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (raystorj) to (raystormj).

- 0.114u2: Couriersud fixed MAME freezes during the demo.

- 0.86u1: Brian Troha added Ray Storm (Ver 2.06A). Renamed (raystorm) to (raystorj).

- 0.83: Changed description to 'Ray Storm (Ver 2.05J)'.

- 0.81u5: smf and Olivier Galibert fixed Raystorm, which are now fully playable.

- 9th April 2004: smf fixed Raystorm which now works completely.

- 0.81: Fixed user2 roms addresses and added 'Freeze' dipswitch.

- 0.74u2: Added Ray Storm (JAPAN) (Taito 1996).

- 0.71: smf and MooglyGuy added Ray Storm (JAPAN) (Testdriver).

- 7th August 2002: Guru - RayStorm (Taito FX1, Sony ZN1 mobo + custom Taito top board) arrived from Pelle.
