0.36b2 [Phil Stroffolino]

0.36b1 [Phil Stroffolino, Carlos A. Lozano]


WIP:

- 0.127u2: Nicola Salmoria merged driver with SNK, with all resulting fixes (removed hacks, correct shadows, scroll offsets etc). Replaced Namco sound with SNK Wave (8MHz). Fixed emulation of the "SNK Wave" custom sound and made it into a proper sound core. Fixed also palette decoding of early SNK games (Vanguard II). The least significan bits were assigned incorrectly. Fixed sp16_tiles rom loading. Changed visible area to 216x288 and VSync to 60Hz.

- 0.124u5: Robiza fixed score display in cocktail mode.

- 0.93: Added clock parameter to Namco sound (31250 Hz).

- 0.72: Acho A. Tang fixed Vanguard2 scroll offsets.

- 0.59: Added dipswitches 'Bonus Life' and 'Bonus Life Occurence'.

- 0.37b12: Changed VSync to 60.606060Hz.

- 26th July 1999: Phil Stroffolino sent in an update to Marvin's Maze, Mad Crasher and Vanguard II with improved sound.
