- TRIVIA -

- TIPS AND TRICKS -


F-1 Dream used a rather unusual control method for a driving game. To reach top speed, first hold down button 1 - then, as the car picks up speed, release it and hold button 2 to change to 2nd gear.


When driving the turbo car, activate the turbo boost by holding both buttons while at top speed.


There are 2 ways to decelerate, either by releasing button 1 while at top speed (or in turbo mode) or by releasing both buttons simultaneously.


When in the pit, tap the buttons to make the repairs go faster.

MAME Info:

0.33b3 [Paul Leaman]


Bugs:

- When crashing on horizontal guard-rails, the car "teleports" into another part of the track. Kale (ID 00966)

- Points counter at the end of a game is broken. Kale (ID 00965)

- f1dreamb: [possible] On the "Monaco" course (the fourth) there's an invisible wall almost near to the last corner. Kale (ID 01100)


WIP:

- 0.133u1: Changed VSync to 60.08 Hz in F-1 Dream.

- 0.123u5: Changed 68000 CPU1 clock speed to 10MHz and Z80 CPU2 to 3579545 Hz.

- 0.37b7: Fixed gfx2/3 rom loading.

- 0.36b15: Added prom ($0 - priority).

- 0.36b9: Changed clock speed of the 2x YM2203 to 3579545 Hz.

- 5th May 1999: Mike Coates fixed the F-1 Dream and Power Spikes 2 bug in the x86 assembler and probably also C cores.

- 0.35b13: Mike Coates fixed a couple of bugs in the 68000 emulation (both asm and C). They affected Power Spikes 2 and F1 Dream. Changed parent and clone descriptions to 'F-1 Dream'.

- 0.35b12: Mike Coates fixed F1 Dream protection workaround (note that the game still doesn't work correctly with the 68000 C core).

- 0.35b3: Eric Hustvedt simulated the 8751 protection in F1 Dream, but it seems to work on Macs only (endian issue?).

- 0.34b2: Paul Leaman added F1 Dream (bootleg), this one works. Nicola Salmoria fixed a bug in the 68000 BCD emulation which caused the F1 Dream timer to malfunction. Known issues: There's a sort of invisible wall in the last straight of the fourth circuit.

- 0.33b3: Paul Leaman added F1 Dream (Capcom 1988), preliminary. Due to protection, the original doesn't work.

- 22nd January 1998: Dumped F-1 Dream by Capcom.
