Epos driver
« on: December 22, 2007, 11:05:14 AM »
Here's something I put together last night (damned insomnia). It lacks sound, but is working fairly well.

These are the games for this system:

These are not working:

Catapult (not working in MAME)
IGMO (not sure why this doesn't work :( )
Revenger (not working in MAME)
The Dealer (not working in MAME)

These work fine:

Megadon
Super Glob
The Glob
The Glob (earlier)
The Glob (set 3)

If there's someone out there that can track down the IGMO bug and/or add sound (should be easy for some with a bit of experience), please do!

I tested your driver and IGMO work fine here:

That's really strange... all I get is a black screen and nothing more.
Are you running a debug build of FBA? Maybe that's causing some issues.
Also, are you using a fake (filler) prom? 82s123.u66

I tested using FB Alpha [DEBUG] v0.2.96.72.
In my igmo.zip i found this file: 82s123.u66 CRC32:F4F6DDC5


Edit: Now i tested in normal build and the game work fine again.

LOL, I feel stupid now.  The PROM stores the color settings.  If it is always 0 (I'm not using one), the colors are always set to black.

It's not the correct rom for the set.  It's from suprglob.

Here's a small update.

IGMO is now working without the undumped PROM (with incorrect colors)
The video render code is much smaller, cleaner, faster, and supports 16, 24, & 32 bit depths
Colors are now pre-calculated instead of being calculated every frame (only requires 96 bytes more Ram :))
Added "The Dealer" and "Revenger" drivers, still not working
Added "service mode" button (F2)

Very small changes:

  • Changed DIP description "1C 1C" to "1 Coin 1 Credit"
  • Added Extra Glob DIP condition (Bonus Life) in suprglob
  • Changed the hardware description: "misc" to "EPOS Tristar"
  • Changed ROM info: "1 player" to "2 players max", because the game run 2 players in 'Upright mode'.
