MAME Info:
0.37b6 [Luca Elia]
Bugs:
- Player 2's controls are player 1's control in Cocktail mode/Flip screen. Karasu (ID 00090)
- exerizrb, skyfox: Recently I have played an Exerizer bootleg PCB and I have noticed there is a parallax effect missing in MAME. Kold666 (ID 00232)
WIP:
- 0.139: Corrado Tomaselli corrected clocks and Vsync for the Sky Fox & Exerizer sets based on actual OSCs and measurements taken from a real PCB. Changed Z80 CPU1 and the 2x YM2203 clock speeds to 1789772 Hz and VSync to 62.65 Hz.
- 0.138u3: N. Francfort, blib, Smitdogg and The Dumping Union added clone Exerizer (Japan). Renamed (exerizrb) to (exerizerb).
- 30th April 2010: Smitdogg - We got the original Jaleco Exerizer. The version in MAME is from a bootleg.
- 0.136u4: Fabio Priuli added driver data struct and save states to Sky Fox.
- 0.131u1: Angelo Salese cleaned-up the NMIs on coin insertions and merged memory maps in Sky Fox.
- 0.126u3: Fabio Priuli fixed issue with credits input in Sky Fox / Exerizer.
- 0.125u7: Couriersud fixed Coin 1 mapped twice in Sky Fox.
- 0.72: Added 'Difficulty' dipswitch.
- 0.37b6: Luca Elia added Sky Fox (Jaleco 1987 (Nichibutsu USA License)) and clone Exerizer (Japan) (bootleg). The background rendering is entirely guesswork.
- 8th June 2000: Luca Elia sent in a driver for Sky Fox / Exerizer.
