MAME Info:

0.67 [Bryan McPhail]

0.58 [Bryan McPhail]


Bugs:

- When I get to what I believe is the last guy, his energy bar decreases extra quickly. Darkk (ID 00419)


WIP:

- 0.145u2: Documentation of the video data on Dragon Gun [David Haywood]. This just attempts to parse some of the header structures in the DVI data Dragon Gun uses, see http://www.fileformat.info/format/dvi/egff.htm. I don't know if there are any software decoders for this format, I think it was a hardware solution? The Dragon Gun data doesn't seem to have all fields filled in. Hopefully somebody who actually understands video (de)compression can actually flesh this out.

- 0.145: David Haywood corrected loading for Dragon Gun video data, identified as standard DVI data (unsurprising, game has a DVI logo).

- 0.131u3: Fabio Priuli fixed unable to move crosshair in Dragon Gun.

- 0.115u1: R. Belmont and Ryan Holtz fixed carry flag calculation for SUB/SBC/CMP family instructions in the ARM core. This fixed energy of last guy in Dragon Gun.

- 0.111u5: Canim fixed Dragon Gun input port. Added dipswitches 'Debug Mode' and 'Reset'.

- 0.111u2: Aaron Giles improved cycle timings in the ARM CPU core. Altered the DECO32 CPU clocks to be more realistic. Changed ARM CPU1 clock speed to 7MHz.

- 0.102u2: Fixed rom names.

- 0.70u4: Brian Troha fixed rom names in Dragon Gun.

- 24th March 2003: Bryan McPhail sent in a major update to the Deco32 driver, making Dragon Gun playable, Locked 'n Loaded almost playable and Tattoo Assassins fully playable with graphics, thanks to Stiletto for tracking down a working boardset of this ultra rare game.

- 0.67: Bryan McPhail added Dragon Gun (US) (Data East 1993).

- 0.58: Bryan McPhail added Dragon Gun (US) (Testdriver). ARM CPU emulation [Bryan McPhail, Phil Stroffolino].
