Bugs:

- sidearms and clones: Music is too loud or effects are too quiet. haynor666 (ID 06062)


WIP:

- 0.222: Added note about starfield ROM: A bootleg has been found that matches "sidearmsj" but with the starfield data ROM being half the size of the original one and containing its second half. Also, it seems that, as the original game it's currently emulated, it uses just the first half of the starfield ROM, so it's something worth checking [jordigahan].

- 12th September 2018: Smitdogg - ClawGrip dumped a Sidearms bootleg.

- 0.159: System11 added clone Side Arms - Hyper Dyne (US, 861202). Note, the date string for this game can be found in the ROMs, so I've added it to all sets, the new set is the newest, others are a few days earlier. Changed parent description to 'Side Arms - Hyper Dyne (World, 861129)' and clones (US) to 'Side Arms - Hyper Dyne (US, 861128)' and (Japan) to 'Side Arms - Hyper Dyne (Japan, 861128)'. Renamed (sidearmsr) to (sidearmsur1).

- 0.148: Brian Troha added DIP locations to the Side Arms sets.

- 0.147u2: hap fixed Side Arms crash. Miodrag Milanovic fixed Side Arms regression.

- 0.133u1: Renamed (sidearmr) to (sidearmsr) and (sidearjp) to (sidearmsj).

- 0.123u6: Fixed debug assertion in Side Arms driver.

- 12th November 2006: Mr. Do - We have Side Arms - Hyper Dyne bezel, thanks to a cooperative effort with ClassicArcadeGrafix, with additional cleanup by Ad_Enuff.

- 12th August 2003: Acho A. Tang re-submitted proper flipping of the Sidearms starfield.

- 15th February 2003: Acho A. Tang added flip screen support to Side Arms.

- 0.65: Acho A. Tang added preliminary starfield emulation in Sidearms. Also fixed background color and a crash after you've defeated the 6th boss and decend into lava. Changed cpu3 rom to user1 ($0).

-  1st February 2003: Acho A. Tang fixed a few graphics glitches and added preliminary starfield emulation to Sidearms.

- 0.37b6: Added proms ($0, 100, 200, 300 - unknown).

- 0.36b15: Added user1 rom ($0 - starfield data).

- 0.36b6: Changed Z80 CPU2 and the 2x YM2203 clock speeds to 4MHz.

- 0.35b13: Changed parent and clone descriptions to 'Side Arms - Hyper Dyne'.

- 0.34b7: Nicola Salmoria added clone Sidearms (US). Changed parent description to 'Sidearms (World)'. Added new gfx rom a_10j to (World).

- 14th July 1998: Dick Millikan dumped Side Arms - Hyper Dyne (US).

- 0.33b6: Changed description of clone (Japanese) to 'Sidearms (Japan)'.

- 0.31: Gerrit Van Goethem added high score saving to Sidearms. Note: There is an additional ROM which seems to contain code for a third Z80, however the board only has two. The ROM is related to the missing star background. At one point, the code jumps to A000, outside of the ROM address space.

- 0.30: Marco Cassili added clone Sidearms (Japanese). Nicola Salmoria fixed sprites and background in Sidearms and added missing third button. Colors should be correct as well. There probably is another scrolling background missing.

- 0.29: Paul Leaman added 'Sidearms' (Capcom 1986). The blinking star background is missing.

- 10th October 1997: J-ROM dumped Side Arms - Hyper Dyne (Japan).

-  6th February 1997: Dumped Side Arms - Hyper Dyne (World, 861129).

Same story here. If I recall correctly, a WolfMAME submission could be acceptable even without a video uploaded, if the provided .inp file is valid. Is this correct?

All MAME submissions need a video regardless of version used:

The following Vzaar upload is the type of recording, which is required to make this submission acceptable. Mr Colman, please take note.

Congratulations Paolo Coleman on your Wr and welcome to Twin Galaxies
