MAME Info:

0.35RC1 [Nicola Salmoria]


Bugs:

- GFX glitch appears on the left bottom corner after you press the P1 start button. Also, I noticed a couple of stray red pixels that are present. etabeta / Twisty (ID 01152)


WIP:

- 0.141u1: Renamed (saturn) to (saturnzi).

- 0.135u1: Fabio Priuli added driver data struct and save state support to the Blue Print driver.

- 0.124u1: Added DIP locations to Blue Print driver [RansAckeR].

- 0.122u8: Zsolt Vasvari removed colortables from Blue Print driver and a number of others, as part of a larger move to phase out old-style colortables. Changed palettesize to 520 colors.

- 0.107u3: Aaron Giles fixed GFX layout/decode. This fixed GFX show (F4) in debug builds and MAME32.

- 0.93: Changed 2nd AY8910 clock speed to 625000 Hz.

- 0.88u1: Curt Coder fixed clocks per schematic (sound pitch now higher), tilemap conversion, merged memory maps, fixed inputs/dips per manual, fixed rom names per schematic, cleanup driver and correct 2H/4H clocks. Changed Z80 CPU1 clock speed to 3.5MHz and Z80 CPU2 to 1.25MHz.

- 9th May 2002: Zsolt Vasvari changed the color decoding in Saturn to be more correct, but the colors might not be entirely correct.

- 0.35RC1: Nicola Salmoria added Saturn (Zilec / Jaleco 1983).

- 26th May 1999: Nicola added Saturn to the Blue Print driver.
