Artwork available
NOTE:
- Press fire to skip the ROM/RAM test at the beginning.
WIP:
- 0.197: Use MCFG_SCREEN_VBLANK_CALLBACK instead of MCFG_CPU_VBLANK_INT [AJR].
- 0.190: Soundlatch modernization [AJR].
- 0.148u5: F.J. Jimenez (Gijon) added clone Bomb Jack (Tecfri, Spain). David Haywood added better rom naming etc. to it.
- 20th October 2012: Mr. Do - Thanks to Mikonos from Zona Arcade, we have a cleaned-up Tehkan bezel for Bomb Jack, provided by the BYOAC/CAG artwork.
- 0.145u8: Phil Bennett fixed missing sprites in Bomb Jack and clone.
- 0.144u1: Corrado Tomaselli confirmed and adjusted clock speeds for Bomb Jack from PCB. Changed Z80 CPU2 clock speed to 3MHz.
- 0.133u1: Renamed (bombjac2) to (bombjack2).
- 0.126u4: Andrew Gardner merged memory maps in Bomb Jack.
- 0.126u2: Fabio Priuli added DIP locations to Bomb Jack.
- 9th September 2007: Mr. Do - Some more instruction cards for more games courtesty of Tormod: Bomb Jack.
- 0.118u2: Stephane Humbert improved dipswitches for Bomb Jack. Changed 'Initial High Score?' dipswitch to 'Bonus Life'.
- 0.104u3: Adam Bousley added save states support to Bomb Jack.
- 25th February 2001: Olivier Galibert added save states support to Bomb Jack. However, the driver needs to be updated to include the save states.
- 0.35b13: Nicola Salmoria added Bomb Jack (set 1). Changed 'Bomb Jack' to clone 'Bomb Jack (set 2)'. Renamed (bombjack) to (bombjac2).
- 0.22: Nicola Salmoria improved color palette emulation in Bombjack which has now perfect colors. Bomb Jack doesn't have a color PROM, it uses a RAM to generate colors and change them during the game.
- 0.18: Bomb Jack is much faster on a 486. Now runs very well with -frameskip 1 on my 486/100 [Nicola Salmoria].
- 0.15: Jarek Burczynski submitted a sound driver for Bomb Jack. The game is now a bit slow on my 486/100, -frameskip 1 is almost good but not quite [Nicola Salmoria].
- 0.13: Nicola Salmoria fixed a couple of minor bugs in Bomb Jack background colors and added high score saving to Mario Bros.
- 0.12: There is a bit in the sprite attributes which I don't know what means [Nicola Salmoria]. Dipswitch menu: SPECIAL refers to how often the (E) and (S) coins appear.
- 0.10: Nicola Salmoria fixed a small graphics glitch in the background of Bomb Jack's third level. Thanks to Philip Chapman for the report.
- 0.09: Mirko Buffoni added 'Bomb Jack' (Tehkan 1984). Game is playable with accurate colors and no sound. Control: Arrows = Move around and CTRL = Jump. Thanks to Brad Thomas, Jakob Frendsen and Conny Melin for the hardware info on Bomb Jack. Note: Bomb Jack doesn't have a color PROM. It uses 256 bytes of RAM to dynamically create the palette. Each couple of bytes defines one color (4 bits per pixel; the high 4 bits of the second byte are unused). Since the graphics use 3 bitplanes, hence 8 colors, this makes for 16 different color codes. MAME currently doesn't support dynamic palette creation. As a temporary workaround, we create here a 256 colors (8 bits, vs. the original 12) palette which will be static, and dynamically create a lookup table at run time which approximates the original palette. In the dipswitch menu, DIFFICULTY 1 refers to the speed of the mechanical bird, while DIFFICULTY 2 to the number and speed of enemies. Known issues: Colors are accurate, but not entirely: The original machine uses 12 bits (4 bits per pen), while I currently use only 8 bits (3 bits for red and green, 2 bits for blue). Is the sprite priority correct? For example, during the demo, should GAME OVER be in front or behind other sprites? There is another bit in the sprite attributes which I don't know what means: It seems to be set only when the (B) materializes. For the DIFFICULTY 2 setting, EASY and MEDIUM might be swapped. Anyone can confirm? The INITIAL HIGH SCORE setting doesn't only set that, it does something else as well - but I don't know what.

NOTES:
- Hardware info from Brad Thomas, Jakob Frendsen and Conny Melin. Sound by Jarek Burczynski (sound).
- bombjac2 has YOU ARE LUCY instead of LUCKY (region cpu1 ($c000)), so it's probably an older version.
- The only difference between 'bombjack' and 'bombjac2' is that 'bombjack' fixes the message when you get a 'S' for extra credit (text at 0xd24a): * 'bombjack' : "YOU ARE LUCKY" and * 'bombjac2' : "YOU ARE LUCY".
WIP:
- 0.135u2: Added includes\bombjack.h.
- 0.31: Removed sndhrdw\bombjack.c.
- 0.16: Added sndhrdw\generic.c/h.
- 0.15: Added sndhrdw\bombjack.c.
- 0.12: Added vidhrdw\generic.c/h.
- 0.09: Added bombjack.c driver and vidhrdw\bombjack.c.
