MAME Info:

0.137u4 [?]

0.80u2 [Guru]


WIP:

- 0.144u4: Angelo Salese fixed access violation after OK in Dragon World 3.

- 0.137u4: XingXing added clone Dragon World 3 (ver. 105). XingXing added a protection RAM dump for Dragon World 3. Renamed (drgw3) to (drgw3100) and (drgw3k) to (drgw3).

- 27th April 2010: David Haywood - There is one other game running on PGM that uses a combination of IGS022 and IGS025 chips, and that's Dragon World 3, which at this point becomes a potentially interesting target. XingXing provided a RAM dump similar to the Killing Blade one which allows the game to boot, but I'm hoping that it can be elimiated quickly by reusing the DMA code (IGS022) code tha was figured out for The Killing Blade. The problem is the game makes much more extensive use of the IGS025 chip, and currently doesn't even appear to attempt to trigger any DMA operations. It does boot now, but until those chips are emulated it won't work, it crashes when you attempt to start a game. Unlike the later games it's a realistic emulation target at this point however. Thanks to XingXing for the hardware work / information.

- 0.130u3: Changed description to 'Dragon World 3 (ver. 100)' and clone to '(ver. 106, Korean Board)'.

- 0.84: Renamed (dw3) to (drgw3) and (dw3k) to (drgw3k).

- 0.80u2: Added Dragon World 3 (IGS 1998) and clone (Korean Board). Unemulated protection.

- 2nd September 2003: Guru - Dragon World 3 (Alta Co/IGS 1998, IGS PGM cart) arrived from Smitdogg and MAMEworld.
