MAME Info:
0.100u3 [David Haywood, Corrado Tomaselli]
WIP:
- 0.135u2: Fabio Priuli added driver data and save state support to Blomby Car driver.
- 0.126u4: Andrew Gardner merged memory maps in the Blomby Car driver.
- 0.122u6: Brian Troha added dipswitches and DIP locations for Water Balls. Added dipswitches 'Difficulty', 'Demo Sounds', 'Service Mode', 'Coin A/B', 'Unknown 1-2' and 5x 'Unused'.
- 0.100u3: David Haywood added Water Balls (ABM 1996).
- 24th September 2005: David Haywood - I found a little time to add support for Water Balls, a strange and seemingly original puzzle game from ABM running on basically the same hardware as Blomby Car. Thanks to MAME Italian Forum for helping with this.
- 23rd September 2005: Corrado Tomaselli dumped Water Balls. The PCB has some empty sockets, maybe it was used for other games since it has no markings.
