Bugs:
  • I was passing the first checkpoint on the first track and was heading off the track, it crashed. Firewave (ID 00136)
WIP:
  • 0.104u2: Added M37702 (16384000 Hz) CPU4, C352 (16384000 Hz) stereo sound and C74 M37702 sound MCU rom.
  • 6th October 2005: R. Belmont - Ace Driver is the only (Super) System 22 game without sound in current MAME. This is completely correct. It was not something I missed and I did not do it to fark with people. The data in that ROM is incompatible with the Prop Cycle BIOS for whatever reason (there's a chance it could be triggering an M37710 opcode bug, but that seems fairly unlikely at this point) and MAME will crash if you attempt to hook it up.
  • 15th September 2005: R. Belmont - I fixed the controls for Cyber Cycles and Ace Driver (making both playable).
  • 0.86u1: Changed 68020 CPU1 clock speed to 24576000 Hz and TMS32025 CPU2/3 to 49152000 Hz. Added 'Shift' dipswitch.
  • 0.85u2: Changed region user2 to sound1.
  • 0.81u8: Added 2x TMS32025 (48MHz) CPUs and changed region cpu2 to cpu4.
  • 0.78u1: Stefan Jokisch added user1 rom ($0 - eeprom.9e).
  • 0.78: Guru added Ace Driver (Rev. AD2, World) (Namco 1994).
  • 17th December 2003: Guru added Ace Driver to the Namco System 22 driver, it works in attract mode but with messed up graphics.
Other Emulators:
