nebulbee: MAME ROM Information.
MAME Info:
0.79u1 [Nicola Salmoria]
0.21 [Nicola Salmoria, Martin Scragg]
Artwork available
TEST MODE:
- Set DIP SERVICE MODE = ON, press F3 and use movement & fire to change & hear sound effects.
NOTE:
- The star line and pixel locations of the Galaga starfield pulled directly from a clocked stepping of the 05 starfield. The chip was clocked on a test rig with hblank and vblank simulated, each X & Y location of a star being recorded along with it's color value. Because the starfield begins generating stars at the point in time it's enabled the exact horizontal location of the stars on Galaga depends on the length of time of the POST for the original board. Two control bits determine which of two sets are displayed set 0 or 1 and simultaneously 2 or 3. There are 63 stars in each set, 126 displayed at any one time.

Removed Galaga (bootleg) (galagab2 - mix 'n match of ROMs from other sets), Galaga '84 (galaga84 - copyright/gfx change), Nebulous Bee (nebulbee - copyright/name change) and Galaga (fast shoot) (galagads - 1-byte hack to get fast shoot). Renamed (galaga) to (galagao). Changed Z80 CPU1/2/3 clock speeds to 3072000 Hz and added Namco 54XX (1536000 Hz) sound. Removed sample 'init.wav' and 3rd coin slot.
- 0.70: Changed description of clone 'Catsbee' to 'Gatsbee'. Renamed (catsbee) to (gatsbee).

- 5th March 1999: Aaron Giles has fixed more drivers to work with rotation handling (galaga, frogger, burger time and their clones).
- 12th February 1999: Juergen Buchmueller has made the ASM Z80 core even better. Speed improvements range from 25% (Galaga) to 45% (Tapper). It's still far from complete, and daisy-chaining doesn't work.

The attract mode of Galaga works correctly (CPU execution is interleaved) [Nicola Salmoria]. Known issues: Sometimes explosion sprites appear on the left of the screen.
- 0.28: In the test screen, use movement & fire to change & hear sound effects.
- 0.27: Nicola Salmoria added clones Galaga (Namco) and Gallag (bootleg Galaga). In Galaga, star scroll speed in levels > 32 should be correct now [Nicola Salmoria]. Changed parent description to 'Galaga (Midway)'.
- 0.26a: Galaga has correct stars speed now.
- 0.25: Refixed the Galaga hiscore bug (it happened when syncing Mirko sources with Nicola's ones).

- 0.22: Control: F1 = Skip Level.
- 0.21.5: Nicola fixed a bug in Memory addressing that caused Galaga to trash under DOS.
- 0.21: Nicola Salmoria added Galaga (Namco 1981) and Galaga (bootleg). The bootleg version use a Z80 that emulates custom I/O chips. Very special thanks to Martin Scragg that provided us crucial information on custom I/O chips. Known issues: Explosions are implemented in a tricky way (reset game and you'll see!). Hiscore support not ready yet.
- 25th April 1997: Dumped Galaga (Namco).
