Artwork available
Bugs:
- Playfield keeps shifting, when you launch from the base you go into the starfield, every 5-10 seconds the base reappears and then scrolls off again. Steveir (ID 01217)
- When I started a second game, the game colours went completely different to the 1st game (most noticably the alien ships). Steveir (ID 01218)
WIP:
- 0.145u1: Changed description to 'Super Astro Fighter (DECO Cassette)'.
- 0.133u1: Added dipswitches 'Type of Tape', 'Lives', 'Bonus Life', 'Alien Craft Movement' and 'Country Code'.
- 0.116: ShimaPong fixed missing colors in Super Astro Fighter.
- 0.88u2: Changed description to 'Super Astro Fighter (Cassette)'.
- 0.37b13: Juergen Buchmueller added 'Cassette: Super Astro Fighter' (Data East 1981).
- 9th February 2001: Juergen Buchmueller sent in the first version of the DECO Cassette system driver, supporting Lock 'n Chase, Treasure Island, Super Astro Fighter, Astro Fantasia, Lucky Poker, Pro Golf and Mission X. The rest are either not yet dumped or use protection that has not been cracked yet.
- 8th February 2001: Juergen Buchmueller managed to fix some 8x41 emulation bugs and got a few DECO Cassette system games running: Super Astro Fighter, Pro Golf and Mission X (the last one with wrong colors though). Accurate to the original, the games need 1 - 2 minutes to load from the simulated tape. Also many thanks to Al Kossow for his incredible work on preserving this system that was near extinction.
