0.36b2 [Ernesto Corvi]
Bugs:
- With regards to the problem with the bonus stage where the balloons get corrupted, I've never seen this on my PCB. Magic Knight (ID 01076)
- The game slows down a bit as if the original hardware wasn't powerful enough for it. Bugfinder (ID 01168)
WIP:
- 0.165: Added screen raw params to The Simpsons. Added note about correct dotclock [Dirk Best]. Changed VSync to 59.185606 Hz.
- 0.155: Ben76 added clone The Simpsons (2 Players World, set 3). K053260 Delta PCM decoding rolls over instead of clipping; fixes some 'The Simpsons' in-game samples such as "Maggie" and "That's my sister mister" sound bad [Alex Jackson].

- 0.148u2: Rewrite of KONAMI CPU core. Not sure about the Konami timings; they are definitly different from the previous core but the previous timings were a guess. KONAMI CPU fixes; Simpsons gets further now [Nathan Woods].
- 0.139u2: Phil Bennett added save-state support to the K053260 sound core.
- 0.138: Magic Knight and Machone fixed vertical refresh rate to 59.185600 Hz in The Simpsons and clones. Magic Knight (simpsons0103ora2): With regards to the problem with the bonus stage where the balloons get corrupted, I've never seen this on my PCB, though it's reported as happening on the real thing, maybe there are slightly different hardware revisions to fix this. Machone: According to Guru's readme attached to The Simpsons driver in 0.128, the vertical refresh rate for this game is 59.1856 Hz. MAME currently lists it as 60 Hz.

This allowed to fix many tile/sprite priority bugs e.g. in Ajax, Lightning Thunder, Simpsons, Vendetta, Punk Shot, Gradius III and others [Phil Stroffolino, Nicola Salmoria].
- 0.36b8: Nicola Salmoria fixed sprite Y offset in the Simpsons dreamland level. Apologies for taking so long, Nicola couldn't find the time to play it that far and hadn't realized he just had to use the attract mode of the Japanese version.
- 0.36b3: Yasuhiro Ogawa added clone The Simpsons (2 Players Japan). Changed KONAMI CPU1 clock speed to 3MHz.
- 15th August 1999: Phil Stroffolino sent in an update to the Sprite Manager, with stretching support so that Simpsons might be possible to be converted to it.
