0.37b5 [Luca Elia]
NOTE:
- Suffers noticable slowdowns. "Dodonpachi slows down very noticably when things get a bit hectic on screen (which is very often), .. even as soon as a few seconds into the game. The emulation is reporting that it is able to keep up with the game (ie : a solid 60fps / 100%)... the slowdown seems to come from the game itself and not the emulation". In the Cave games the slowdown is intentional. How on earth would you otherwise be able to dodge all the bullets flying on the screen and still kill enemies ;-) - Gridle
- There are no DSWs.
WIP:
- 0.68: Brian Troha added clone DoDonPachi (International). Renamed (ddonpach) to (ddonpchj).
- 0.57: Fixed gfx1/2/3/4 roms loading.
- 0.37b13: Changed VSync to 57.550644Hz.
- 0.37b12: Changed description to 'DoDonPachi'.
- 0.37b10: Bernd Wiebelt fixed a YMZ280B bug that caused bad sound in the Cave games. Changed YMZ280B clock speed to 16934400 Hz.
- 0.37b5: Luca Elia added Dodonpachi (Japan) (Atlus/Cave 1997).
- 27th June 2000: Luca Elia added Dodonpachi and Guwange to the Cave driver. Aaron Giles sent in an update to the YMZ280B sound core with much better sound output.
- 22nd June 2000: Aaron Giles sent in a preliminary YMZ280B sound core, adding sound to Dangun Feveron, ESP Ra.De. and Uo Poko.
- 19th April 2000: Luca Elia sent in a Cave driver with support for Dangun Feveron, Esprade, Uo Poko and Dodonpachi.
