MAME Info:

0.74u2 [?]

0.63 [?]


WIP:

- 0.128u3: Angelo Salese fixed a crash bug with Astra SuperStars when the debugger is active.

- 0.113u4: Mariusz Wojcieszek added protection data (text layer tiles) extracted from the Saturn version to Astra SuperStars - Game now playable.

- 0.110u3: Mariusz Wojcieszek fixed VDP2 vertical line scrolling for zoomed layers, this fixes corrupted backgrounds in Astra SuperStars.

- 0.96: Angelo Salese added the possibility on the VDP1 to double the horizontal resolution under some circumstances. This affects Astra SuperStars, Virtual Mahjong & Virtual Mahjong 2. There's also some WIP code for the protection in Astra SuperStars and Final Fight Revenge.

- 1st May 2005: Angelo Salese - Just a small update to show my current ST-V progress, this is Astra SuperStars with corrected sprite size.

- 0.91u2: Angelo Salese added a kludge for Astra SuperStars to let it run past a nasty code, nasty because I highly suspect it's a SH-2 bug, will be worked out in the future.

- 0.90u1: Changed description to 'Astra SuperStars (J 980514 V1.002)'.

- 0.74u2: Added Astra SuperStars (Sunsoft 1998).
