additional information
info 0.37b11 [David Haywood, Phil Stroffolino]

SETUP:
  • Hold P1 Start and F3 to skip the startup memory tests
  • To jump in Ninjakun, press LEFT or RIGHT and P1 Button 2
WIP:
  • 0.134u1: Changed 'Unknown' dipswitch to 'Unused'.
  • 0.37b16: Uki fixed colors and other stuff in Ninjakun. Changed Z80 CPU1/2 clock speeds to 3MHz and palettesize from 512 to 768 colors.
  • 0.37b12: Changed clock speed of the 2x AY-8910 to 3MHz. Added dipswitches 'High Score Names' and '"Allow Continue'.
  • 18th January 2001: Lax fixed the Ninja Kid sound frequency.
  • 0.37b11: David Haywood and Phil Stroffolino added Ninjakun Majou no Bouken (UPL 1984 (Taito license)). The most obvious problem is the vertical scrolling. It's jerky and occasionally scrolls to the wrong row (see notes in vidhrdw/ninjakid.c).
  • 7th January 2001: Phil Stroffolino fixed several bugs in the Ninja Kid driver, including the vertical scrolling graphics. Takahiro Nogi fixed some more Ninja Kid graphics glitches.
  • 4th January 2001: David Haywood and Phil Stroffolino have written an almost perfect Ninja Kid driver, though some graphical problems remain.
