additional information
info 0.104u6 [Ville Linde]

SETUP:
  • The first time you run the game, the EEPROM 24G shows as BAD in the RAM/ROM Check. Hold F2 then hit Reset F3. Continue holding F2 until the game creates the EEPROM and tells you to release it.
WIP:
  • 0.136: Added eeprom-slrasslt.bin EEPROM.
  • 0.114u3: Ville Linde fixed analog controls in Solar Assault.
  • 0.114u2: Ville Linde fixed many of the remaining polygon glitches in Solar Assault.
  • 18th March 2007: Ville Linde - I was finally able to find and fix the SHARC bugs that were causing Solar Assault and GTI Club to crash. After that I went to improve the Konami 3D graphics chip emulation. Now both games are starting look quite good. Neither game is playable yet, though. Solar Assault is currenly missing the analog controls, and GTI Club still has some problems with the network chip.
  • 0.110u3: Added RF5C400 stereo sound, fixed input and changed description to 'Solar Assault'.
  • 0.104u6: Ville Linde added Solar Assault DR2 (ver UAA) (Konami 1997).
