SETUP:
  • The first time you run the game, the EEPROM 13B is BAD in the RAM/ROM CHECK. Hold down the test switch (F2) until you see the message "TEST... COMPLETE".
Bugs:
  • Sprite priority problem in the 3rd stage. Reip (ID 03033)
WIP:
  • 0.136u1: Fabio Priuli added driver data struct and save states to the Vendetta driver.
  • 0.135u4: Fabio Priuli updated Vendetta driver to use EEPROM device and to use the new Konami video devices.
  • 0.130u3: Aaron Giles merged memory maps in the Vendetta driver. Renamed (vendtaso) to (vendetta2pd), (vendet2p) to (vendetta2p), (vendetao) to (vendettar), (vendetas) to (vendetta2pu) and (vendettj) to (vendettaj).
  • 0.128u4: Better fix for Vendetta EEPROM [Mamesick, Fabio Priuli].
  • 0.96: Mamesick updated Vendetta chip frequencies to match real PCB. Changed KONAMI CPU1 clock speed to 6MHz and Z80, YM2151 and K053260 to 3579545 Hz.
  • 0.84u5: Changed KONAMI CPU1 clock speed to 3MHz and Z80 CPU2, YM2151 and 053260 sound to 4MHz.
  • 0.62: Added clone Vendetta (World 2 Players ver. W). Changed all Vendetta sets descriptions. Renamed (vendetar) to (vendetao) and (vendeta2) to (vendtaso). Changed KONAMI CPU1 clock speed to 6MHz.

  • 0.37b2: Ernesto Corvi fixed ADPCM decoding in the K053260, this improves several Konami games.
  • 0.37b1: Phil Stroffolino and Nicola Salmoria support a priority buffer, updated by tilemap.c, which can be used to draw sprites using the new function pdrawgfx(). This allowed to fix many tile/sprite priority bugs e.g. in Ajax, Lightning Thunder, Simpsons, Vendetta, Punk Shot, Gradius III and others.
  • 7th September 1999: Nicola improved Vendetta collision detection.
  • 0.36b3: Ernesto Corvi added Vendetta (Asia set 1) (Konami 1991) and clones (Asia set 2) and Crime Fighters 2 (Japan).

  • 0.36b2: Ernesto Corvi added Vendetta (Asia set 1) (Testdriver) and clone (Asia set 2) and Crime Fighters 2 (Japan). There is something corrupting memory (page fault on exit, during a free()), but I haven't found what it is.

history Vendetta (c) 1991 Konami.


Evil is lurking in Dead End City. In a turf war, the Dead End Gang has kidnapped Kute Kate from the rivals, the Cobras. The Cobras set out to save her and stop the expansion of the Dead End Gang in Vendetta.


The Dead End Gang is looking to expand their territory, so the Cobras must infiltrate every area around the city. First, they must gain entrance to Dead End City. Relying on their fighting skills, the Cobras face a multitude of enemies. However, each member is up for any challenge from the Dead End Gang. The Cobras are a powerful team consisting of : Blood, an ex-prize fighter; Hawk, a former professional wrestler; Boomer, trained in the martial arts; and Sledge, an ex-military convict. Together they must destroy members of the Dead End Gang to get to the leader, Faust, who knows where Kute Kate is being held.


With fists of fury, the Cobras make their way through various areas of Dead End City. They search the construction site for Kate, battling the humanic weapon The Missing Link to gain information. From there, they are sent on futile chases through other sections of the city, including downtown, the waterfront, and the slums, where the final confrontation with Faust takes place. Throughout the game, the Cobras can pick up special weapons and food for more energy. Each player also has his own 'special attack' method to help defeat the toughest enemies.


Once Kute Kate is rescued and Dead End City is liberated, the Cobras victoriously start back to their home turf. However, much to their surprise, the entrance to their town is blocked by Dead End Gang bosses. The Cobras must gear up once more for the ultimate showdown to restore peace to Dead End City.

- TRIVIA -


Released in July 1991.


This game is known in Japan as "Crime Fighters 2".


Each player character resembles a real-life personality. Hawk looks like 'Hulk Hogan', Sledge looks like 'Mr. T', Boomer looks like 'Jean-Claude Van Damme' and Blood looks like 'Mike Tyson'.


On one of the boxes there is the word 'Kilroy' spray-painted on it, this is probably a reference to the quote, 'Kilroy was here'.
