Artwork available

WIP:
  • 0.136: Added eeprom-s1945ii.bin EEPROM.
  • 0.59: David Haywood added Strikers 1945 II (Psikyo 1997). Issues: Game hangs on one of the bosses sometimes, core bug? Or something to do with unknown / incorrectly handled reads? Why does s1945ii boot as japan when the board was world? EEPROM value?
  • 1st March 2002: R. Belmont fixed a bug in the SH-2 CPU core which fixes the missing background graphics in Strikers 1945 II, although they still aren't perfect due to other unemulated features.
  • 22nd February 2002: David Haywood reported some more progress with the newer Psikyo games. Most color problems are fixed, Sol Divide also works and Daraku Tenshi - The Fallen Angels also works almost up to the actual game but crashes at that point. The background graphics in Strikers 1945 II and Space Bomber are still missing, though.
  • 21st February 2002: David Haywood reported some progress in emulating Hitachi SH-2 based Psikyo games. Strikers 1945 II and Space Bomber are playable, although they miss a lot of graphics, have some wrong colors and no sound.
  • 4th January 2002: Guru - Dumped Strikers 1945 II.
  • 0.60: Added 'Region' dipswitch.
  • 16th September 2001: Guru - Received Strikers 1945 II (Psikyo 1997). Thanks go to Smitdogg for the donations.
LEVELS: 8 (must be finished twice)
