0.36b16 [Bryan McPhail]
WIP:
- 0.129u4: Changed visible area to 224x400.
- 0.127u7: Stephane Humbert checked inputs and dipswitches via Z80 code analysis for World Wars and clone.
- 0.127u1: Changed 'World Wars (World)' from a clone of Bermuda Triangle to parent 'World Wars (World?)'. Changed description of clone 'Bermuda Triangle (US older version)' to 'Bermuda Triangle (World Wars) (US)'. SNK rewrite [Nicola Salmoria]: Fixed sprite-sprite priorities. Removed ROM patches, simulated "turbo front" check, clarified the relationship between the sets, converted to tilemaps, proper memory maps and fixed inputs etc.
- 0.62: Changed description of 'World Wars (Japan)' to 'World Wars (World)' and 'Bermuda Triangle (US early version)' to 'Bermuda Triangle (US older version)'.
