0.122u8 [Luca Elia]
WIP:
- 0.122u8: Luca Elia added Wheels Runner (International Games 19??).
- 14th January 2008: Luca Elia - One of the few arcade games ever programmed in Italy has been uncovered, by the good guys over at MAME Italian Forum. Here are some snapshots from Wheels Runner (1988?). It's obviously a clone of Atari's Championship Sprint (minus the upgradeable cars feature) and, while I won't comment on its quality, it's nice to have it preserved. The hardware is fantland.c with a NEC V20 as main CPU, and a Z80 as sound cpu (in place of the usual 8088). It is almost fully working, but I had to resort to a few hacks in the video emulation, that I'll have to investigate further and implement properly. Plus, it's obviously trying to play the crash / hit sounds by driving two I/O ports, but not like DAC's. Indeed, some other games on this platform use a custom sample player in place of the DAC's, but in this case there are no sample roms. So that will require some more work. Thanks to f205v & MAME Italia.
- 11th January 2008: f205v dumped Wheels Runner.
