Game's ROM.
MAME Info:
0.145u7 [hap, Kevin Mullins]
SETUP:
- To initialize battery RAM, go into Meter Read mode (F1 -> 9), and then press the Meter Read + Reset buttons (9 + 0). If a game is not turned off properly, eg. exiting MAME in mid-game, it may run faulty on the next boot. Enable the Night Switch to prevent this.
WIP:
- 0.145u8: hap, dox and DHS fixed Golden Arrow - Game now playable. Video/timing updates. Improved and added base inputs [hap]. Roberto Fresca, Kevin Mullins, Smitdogg and The Dumping Union added the Golden Arrow color PROM dump. hap hooked color prom up. I8155 timer regs can be read too (used by meyc8088 diagnostics). Simplified 8155 read_port + make sure portc is 6 bits wide (meyc8088.c expects d6,7 to be set on read). Added robbiestyle button lamps to Golden Arrow [hap]. Added DAC sound and mono Speaker. Changed description to 'Golden Arrow (Standard G8-03)'. Changed 8088 CPU1 clock speed to 4750000 Hz, visible area to 256x224, VSync to 59.865900 Hz and palettesize to 32 colors. Added dipswitches 'Payout Percentage', 'Bonus Award', 'Coinage', 'Service Mode', 'Bit Switch 3', 'Bit Switch 6', 'Bit Switch 7' and 'Night Switch'.
- 2nd May 2012: Roberto Fresca - Hap took the flag on the Meyco 8088 based driver. Thanks to Darrell Smith that kindly sent complete schematics and hardware notes, now we have Golden Arrow working! But the BIG news are the following. Thanks to the big generosity of Meyco's founder daughter, Ms. Julia Grannt, and the main software/hardware engineer, Mr. Darrell Smith, we got permission to freely distribute all the supported Meyco games (and other cool things), through Mamedev.org. Nice gesture. I'm fully grateful. Here some snaps of Golden Arrow.
- 0.145u7: hap and Kevin Mullins added Golden Arrow (Meyco Games, Inc. 1984).
