MAME Info:
0.37b11 [David Graves]
SETUP:
- Press F2 + F3 to enter test mode. Press P2 Start 2 to calibrate the guns for Players 1 and 2. Follow instructions and fire on targets for both players - when complete, press 2 again to save EEPROM. Reset or Restart.
WIP:
- 0.144u2: ShouTime added clones Space Gun (US) and (Japan).
- 0.137u4: Howard Casto hooked up outputs for Space Gun and made a few prototype functions to help in hooking up the remaining games. Someone familiar with the driver should take a look. I hooked up a few, but they don't work like they should according to the comments.
- 0.129u6: Phil Bennett fixed EE-ROM error in Space Gun after gun calibration.
- 0.127u1: Nicola Salmoria fixed missing crosshairs in Space Gun.
- 0.124u2: Added 4x Volume Filters.
- 0.106u12: MASH added plds ($0, 200, 400, 600, 800, a00 - pal16l8-c57-09.9, pal20l8-c57-10.47, pal16l8-c57-11.48, pal20l8-c57-12.61, pal16l8-c57-13.72 and pal16r4-c57-14.96) to Space Gun (World).
- 0.106u1: Changed Light gun input to Stick.
- 0.62: Changed 'Unknown' to 'Unused' dipswitches.
- 0.61: Light gun support [Bryan McPhail].
- 0.55: Fixed rom names.
- 0.37b16: Added dipswitches 'Always have gunsight power up', 'Allow Continue' and 'Disable Pedal (?)'.
- 4th February 2001: InsideOutBoy added the target crosshair to Space Gun.
- 0.37b11: David Graves added Space Gun (World) (Taito 1990). Known issues: Fake aim documentation: $9d74: Code from here works out coords for P1 aim sprite and puts it in spriteram +0x20. $9b8c is entry for whole sub. $9fa6: Code from here works out coords for P2 aim sprite and puts it in spriteram +0x28. $9de8 is entry for whole sub. Both call subroutines (P1 $195d4, P2 $196ea) which do quite a lot of calculations on the raw a/d input coords, using the eerom calibration data to turn them into standard sprite coordinates. Problem with the zoomed sprites not matching up very well when forming the background. They jerk a bit relative to each other... could be a cpu sync thing. Light gun interrupt timing is arbitrary.
- 12th December 2000: David Graves sent in an updated version of the Taito Z driver, and Space Gun is now fully working.
