MAME Info:

0.77u2 [BUT]

0.76u1 [BUT]


Bugs:

- If you insert a credit on the instruction screen, you'd see some 'leftovers'. F1ReB4LL (ID 00955)


WIP:

- 0.139u1: Phil Bennett fixed incorrect road transparency in Thunder Ceptor and incorrect road colours in Thunder Ceptor II. Atari Ace removed global variables from NAMCO sound core.

- 0.127u7: Aaron Giles fixed Thunder Ceptor crashes out when run as the second game (Multisession bug).

- 0.123u1: Fixed proms loading ($1000, 1400). Changed palettesize to 4096 colors.

- 0.122u7: Changed HD63701 CPU5 clock speed to 6144000 Hz.

- 0.122u5: Zsolt Vasvari cleaned up Thunder Ceptor memory maps.

- 0.121u2: BUT added 3D glasses support to the Thunder Ceptor driver.

- 0.107u3: Brian Troha properly documented and connected the CUS60 MCU code to Thunder Ceptor.

- 0.93: Added clock parameter to Namco CUS30 sound (24000 Hz).

- 0.89: Replaced Namco sound with Namco CUS30.

- 0.77u2: BUT added Thunder Ceptor. Added background scroll, M6809 CPU1 interrupt handling and stereo sound. Added 3rd and 4th button.

- 25th November 2003: BUT added Thunder Ceptor to the Thunder Ceptor 2 driver.

- 15th November 2003: BUT fixed the background layers and added support for transparent road color in the Thunder Ceptor 2 driver.

- 0.76u2: David Haywood and BUT decoded BG graphics in Thunder Ceptor II but BG's still aren't hooked up yet, improved existing graphics a bit.

- 0.76u1: BUT added Thunder Ceptor II (Namco 1986). TODO: Support background layer (decode first).

- 24th October 2003: BUT submitted a preliminary driver for Thunder Ceptor II, it's working but background graphics aren't emulated.

- 18th October 2003: BUT - Analog input ports are not supported in Thunder Ceptor, so it is unplayable yet. YM2151, WSG and DAC sound should be OK. Some sprites are wrong number, and I need to adjust position. Background is not handled yet.
