SETUP:

- To have the high score table properly initialized, the first time you run the game you should go into the dipswitch menu, set World Records to 'Erase on Reset', reset the game and set the dipswitch back to 'Don't Erase'.

WIP:

- 0.140u2: Atari Ace take some driver_device classes of hyperspt/sbasketb/trackfld/yiear (common code in audio/trackfld and audio/hyprolyb.c) that cover multiple drivers and split them so that each driver gets their own driver_device class. In most cases, these drivers got entangled because of audio/mcu code that was shared between multiple drivers. Added 'Track And Field Audio' sound.

- 0.135u3: Fabio Priuli added driver data struct and save states to the HyperSports driver.

- 0.135: f205v and David Haywood added clone Hyper Sports (bootleg).

- 21st October 2009: f205v dumped Hyper Sports (bootleg 1984).

- 0.131u1: MooglyGuy merged memory maps in the HyperSports driver.

- 0.125u2: Aaron Giles restructured input port internals and cleaned up inptport. Removed gross hacks in Hyper Sports NVRAM. These may be broken as a result.

- 0.123u1: Zsolt Vasvari removed color tables from Hyper Sports. Added RESNET color computations where appropriate. Fixed gfx1/2 rom loading.

- 0.122u5: Corrado Tomaselli changed/verified frequencies in Hyper Sports. Changed M6809 CPU1 clock speed to 1536000 Hz and VLM5030 to 3579545 Hz.

- 0.71: Changed description of clone 'Hyper Olympics '84' to 'Hyper Olympic '84'.

- 0.58: Full VLM5030 sound emulation. Samples are no longer needed.

- 22nd January 2002: Tatsuyuki Satoh fixed the noise generator in the VLM5030 sound chip emulation, completely removing the need for samples.

- 21st January 2002: Tatsuyuki Satoh submitted a new, much improved version of the VLM5030 sound chip emulation, used for speech in (Super) Punch-Out and a few other drivers. It is now more than 90% accurate to the original, and only a few small problems remain.

- 0.37b7: Added samples (00 - 49.wav).

- 0.36b8: Added clone Hyper Olympics '84. Changed parent description to 'Hyper Sports'.

- 0.34b1: Added color proms ($0, 20, 120 - color/lookup).

- 0.31: Paul Swan added accurate colors to Hyper Sports. The first time you play Track'n Field and Hyper Sports the high scores are automatically initialized to the default. Your old high scores will NOT be be lost here [Nicola Salmoria]. Fixed gfx rom loading.

- 0.30: Chris Hardy added HyperSports (Konami 1984). Based on drivers from Juno First emulator by Chris Hardy.

- 28th August 1997: David Winter dumped Hyper Sports (Konami).
