WIP:
- 2nd January 2011: Angelo Salese - Collision detections in Legionnaire are a pain even more there, it seems that we are missing a Z-value in addition to all the other flaws described in Heated Barrel, so right now you can flying kick in the air and hit 99% of the times. Also, first stage boss is really weird, it starts with a damaged energy bar AND nothing actually hurts him... and NO macro command is called... unless this is just a design choice, if anybody knows let me know.
- 0.141: David Haywood implemented pdrawgfx for sprite routines in Legionnaire HW, and added wraparound for horizontal area smaller than 320, fixing left-border sprites in Legionnaire and Heated Barrel. Angelo Salese implemented palette DMA brightness algorythm mode 5 in Seibu COP games, used by Seibu Cup Soccer, Godzilla, SD Gundam Rainbow Tairiku Senki and Legionnaire for fading effects. Implemented Seibu COP macro 0x905, used for ark movements in Legionnaire / Zero Team when a knock down occurs.
- 0.140u3: Angelo Salese added a preliminary DMA to the Legionnaire driver, fixes some color issues in Legionnaire. Fixed BK3 bitplane order in Legionnaire, fixes the map screen colors in it.
- 0.133u1: Renamed (legionnu) to (legionnau).
- 0.124u2: David Haywood improved graphic decoding for Legionnaire, the BK3 tiles are now correctly extracted from the TXT region, map screen has correct tiles now. Changed region gfx1/3 to user1/2.
- 0.74u2: David Graves added Legionnaire (World) (Tad 1992) and clone (US).
- 0.57: Added Legionnaire (World) (Testdriver).
- 0.55: David Graves added Legionnaire (US) (Testdriver). TODO: Foreground tiles screwy (screen after character selection screen). Tile selection for 'working' layers may be wrong too - we are only accessing half the available 0x2000 tiles in each gfx set. Need 16 px off top of vis area? Unemulated protection (in attract demo things get weird; not playable). Inputs - all ok?
- 31st August 2001: David Graves sent in a preliminary driver for Legionnaire, but one tilemap layer is wrong and it suffers from protection so it is not yet playable.
