MAME Info:

0.68 [David Haywood]


TODO:

* Redump set 1. Only set 2 works.


WIP:

- 0.145u6: hap hooked up i8156 device to Space Bugger.

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

- 0.136u2: Atari Ace converted Space Bugger to use driver_data structure.

- 0.131u1: Angelo Salese merged memory maps in Space Bugger.

- 0.122u7: Changed 8085A CPU1 clock speed to 6MHz.

- 0.116u2: Justin Kerk and Lord Nightmare updated Space Bugger to correctly use the SN76489 instead of the SN76496, which was a later design.

- 0.108u1: Tomasz Slanina added clone Space Bugger (set 2). Changed parent description to 'Space Bugger (set 1)'. Added 2-way Joystick (vertical) with 2x buttons, 2x SN76496 (3MHz) sound and dipswitches 'PA 1/7', 'PB 0-6', 'Difficulty' and 'Allow Continue'.

- 21st August 2006: Tomasz Slanina - There's a really huge difference between both sets (code and data) - wierd. Wrong colors, it looks like there's direct colormapping - bits from attribute ram connected to r/g/b outputs without use of color prom or color table. Interrupt is generated by 8156 - very old combination chip containing 256*8 RAM (used as stack area), a timer and 8+8+6 ports. After game start all 8156 ports are set as inputs, timer is working in mode 3 - automatic reload. TC register is set to 0x7f. Timer input frequency is unknown. Output should be close to 1440 Hz.

- 1st August 2006: Tomasz Slanina - Guru dumped another version fo Space Bugger. Game is playable now, without sound and with bad colors.

- 0.74u2: Added Space Bugger (Game-A-Tron 1981).

- 0.68: David Haywood added Space Bugger (Testdriver). Known issues: Is the rom mapping ok, are the roms good? It jumps to the 0x800 region and I don't have a rom for there, the only remaining rom has fixed bits, then the game crashes.

- 17th June 2002: David Haywood sent in a very preliminary driver for Space Bugger, however it crashes when starting the game.
