MAME Info:

0.36b2 [Aaron Giles]


Artwork available


Bugs:

- Thunderjaws sometimes resets during gameplay. Machone (ID 02881)

- [possible] In the first 'Rolling Thunder section', you can see minor color problem by looking at the first upside door. YMI (ID 00877)

- ROM test returns errors for 16L and 16N. Speedfreak (ID 00350)


WIP:

- 0.146: hap fixed atarivc_eof tag and shortened playfield_upper(15 chars) tag to playfield_up. This fixed missing/corrupted graphics in ThunderJaws.

- 0.139u1: Aaron Giles changed atarigen_state to be a base class from which all the related Atari drivers derive their state from.

- 0.135u4: Some more Atari driver shuffling [Aaron Giles]: Added atarigen_init() function which allocates all timers and registers for save states. Updated all drivers to call it. Converted some drivers to use device timers.

- 0.135u3: Aaron Giles converted atari drivers over to using driver_data for the most part. Some shared systems still exist with globals, but this tackles the atarigen module and the variables local to each driver.

- 0.129: Aaron Giles perfect synchronization for ThunderJaws, which has always been iffy. Removed synchronization hacks.

- 0.122u4: Changed M6502 CPU3 clock speed to 1789772 Hz, YM2151 to 3579545 Hz and OKI6295 to 1193181 Hz.

- 0.114u2: Aaron Giles and Couriersud added more accurate video timing to most of the Atari 68000-era games. The parameters are from published specs, not derived. The board uses a VAD chip to generate video signals. Changed VSync to 59.922743 Hz.

- 0.114: Couriersud added general save state support to the atarijsa and atarigen modules.

- 25th March 2007: Mr. Do - Thunder Jaws bezel was done this week; thanks to the scan from Anoid.

- 0.105u4: Aaron Giles added PLD dumps to ThunderJaws. Added gal16v8a-136076 plds ($0, 200, 400, 600, 800, a00, c00 - 2x Addressing, Alpha Banking, Motion Objects, Priority and 2x Palette).

- 6th November 2002: Aaron Giles updated the ThunderJaws driver to handle sprite/background priorities correctly.

- 0.37b15: Changed M6502 CPU3 clock speed to 1789500, YM2151 to 3579000 and OKI6295 to 9037 Hz.

- 0.36RC1: Changed the 2x 68000 CPU1 clock speeds to 7159090 Hz, M6502 to 1789772 Hz, YM2151 to 3579545 Hz and OKI6295 to 9039 Hz.

- 0.36b2: Aaron Giles added ThunderJaws (Atari Games 1990).

- 2nd August 1999: Aaron Giles sent in another huge Atari update with another Hydra (prototype) set, Thunderjaws driver, Batman driver and Relief Pitcher driver.
