MAME Info:

0.37b12 [Ville Laitinen]


TODO:

* Sound effects missing


Bugs:

- rollrace, fightrol: When you insert your initials, the scrolling bar of initials does not work properly. SportsDude (ID 00963)

- Roller Ace PCB sound recording. This game has a lot of discrete components for sound effects. Kold666 (ID 00238)


WIP:

- 0.142u3: Angelo Salese removed deprecat.h dependancy and updated irqs accordingly for Fighting Roller.

- 0.141u3: Atari Ace duplicated some code (palette related) between drivers (Fighting Roller driver).

- 0.131u1: Angelo Salese merged memory maps in Fighting Roller.

- 0.122u6: Corrado Tomaselli verified and changed CPU frequencies. Changed Z80 CPU1 clock speed to 3MHz and Z80 CPU2 to 1.5MHz.

- 0.114u2: Corrado Tomaselli converted Roller Aces to stereo sound like the real hardware. Fixed the clocks and NMI rates to match the PCB. Changed Z80 CPU1/2 clock speeds to 4MHz and the 3x AY8910 to 1.5MHz.

- 0.77u3: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added clone Roller Aces (set 2). Changed parent description to 'Roller Aces (set 1)' and visible area to 224x240. Renamed (rollrace) to (rollace).

- 8th December 2003: Pierpaolo Prazzoli added an alternate ROM set to the Roller Aces driver.

- 0.37b12: Ville Laitinen added Fighting Roller (Kaneko 1983 (Taito license)) and clone Roller Aces. Known issues: Sound effects missing. CPU speeds are guessed. Colours might be wrong in the night stage.

- 1st February 2001: Ville Laitinen further updated the Roller Aces driver.

- 31st January 2001: Marco Cassili added the dipswitch settings to the Roller Aces driver.

- 27th January 2001: Ville Laitinen submitted the Roller Aces driver with sound emulation, though the sound may not be perfect.

- 20th January 2001: Ville Laitinen has been working on a Roller Aces driver and here's a glimpse of it. It lacks sound though and colors may not be perfect.
