NOTE:
- Clone Meikyuu Hunter G was formerly known as Maze Hunter.
WIP:
- 0.145u4: Stephane Humbert fixed dipswitches and inputs (after verification of the M6809/HD6309 code) in The Real Ghostbusters and clone Meikyuu Hunter G. Changed 'Unknown' to 'Unused' dipswitches.
- 0.142u6: JF and The Dumping Union added The Real Ghostbusters (US 2 Players, revision 2). The Dumping Union corrected the rom names for the Real Ghostbusters sets and added PCB locations. Renamed (ghostb) to (ghostb2a).
- 0.138u3: Bryan McPhail reimplemented Meikyuu Hunter G I8751 MCU according to schematics.
- 0.131u1: Dr. Decapitator, Guru and Angelo Salese added proper MCU dump + I8751 (12MHz) CPU3 for clone Meikyuu Hunter G.
- 6th May 2009: Guru - Chip 8751 found on clone Meikyuu Hunter G has just been decapped and dumped.
- 0.122u7: Changed HD6309 CPU1 clock speed to 12MHz.
- 21st January 2008: Mr. Do - Kiltron is keeping busy. This week, he completed the bezel for The Real Ghostbusters. Contrary to popular opinion, I always loved this game at the local arcade way back when. This cardboard bezel arrived with lots of creases in it, so it had me a little worried at first. Fortunately, Kiltron was able to perform his magic again.
- 0.119u4: Mike Green fixed number of players in Real Ghostbusters and added dipswitches 'Scene Tim' and 'Beam Energy Pickup' to clones Meikyuu Hunter G.
- 0.112u3: David Haywood added clone Meikyuu Hunter G (Japan, set 2). Changed description of clone 'Meikyuu Hunter G (Japan)' to 'Meikyuu Hunter G (Japan, set 1)'.
- 22nd February 2007: f205v dumped Meikyuu Hunter G (Japan, set 2).
- 7th April 2005: Guru - Maze Hunter (Data East) arrived, purchased from two private sellers by Randy.
- 22nd February 2005: Dumping Project - Randy finalized an agreement to purchase from a Swedish seller the 'Maze Hunter' version of 'Meikyuu Hunter G'.
- 0.55: Fixed high pitch noise that plays until you are actually given control of the charecter in Ghostbusters.
- 0.37b2: Bryan McPhail fixed rowscroll in Ghostbusters.
- 0.36b9: Replaced M6809 CPU1 with M6309 (3MHz) and changed M6502 CPU2 clock speed to 1.5MHz.
- 0.35RC2: Renamed (mazeh) to (meikyuh).
- 0.35b12: Changed description of clone 'Maze Hunter (Japan)' to 'Meikyuu Hunter G (Japan)'.
- 0.35b9: Changed description to 'The Real Ghostbusters (US 2 Players)' and clones '(3 Players)' to '(US 3 Players)' and 'Maze Hunter' to 'Maze Hunter (Japan)'.
- 0.35b5: Changed description to 'The Real Ghostbusters (2 Players)' and clone '(3 player)' to '(3 Players)'.
- 0.35b3: Roberto Fresca added high score saving to Ghost Busters and Maze Hunter. Changed description to 'The Real Ghostbusters (2 player)' and clone '(3 players)' to '(3 player)'. Fixed M6809 CPU1 clock speed to 2MHz and gfx2 rom loading.
- 12th February 1999: Bryan McPhail removed the kludge in Ghostbusters (runs without internal hacks).
- 0.35b2: Bryan McPhail added clone 'The Real Ghostbusters (3 players)'. Fixed the YM2203 in Ghost Busters [Bryan McPhail]. Changed parent description to 'The Real Ghostbusters (2 players)' and clone 'Maze Hunter (Japan)' to 'Maze Hunter'. Added 3rd player input and 4th coin slot.
- 0.35b1: Nicola Salmoria added partial sound to The Real Ghostbusters. Added M6502 (1.25MHz) CPU2. The YM203 doesn't seem to work correctly. Nicola Salmoria added a horrible dirty hack to allow opcode encryption on CPUs other than the main one. It's really ugly and needs a rewrite, but it's enough to get sound in Pocket Gal and The Real Ghostbusters.
- 0.34b8: Bryan McPhail added 'The Real Ghostbusters' (Data East 1987) and clone Maze Hunter (Japan).
- 0.33b5: Bryan McPhail added Ghostbusters (Testdriver) and clone Maze Hunter (Japan) (Testdriver).
