19xx Revision

[IseeThings]

Just a heads up, the 19xx (Japan) revision that was just added to MAME SVN is newer than any of the existing sets.

I don't know if 19xx is a game where people have a list of known bugs or not, but I figure if it is some people might be interested in the news.

The supported revision list is now

GAME( 1996, 19xx, 0, cps2, cps2_2p2b, cps_state, cps2, ROT270, "Capcom", "19XX: The War Against Destiny (USA 951207)", GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE )
GAME( 1996, 19xxa, 19xx, cps2, cps2_2p2b, cps_state, cps2, ROT270, "Capcom", "19XX: The War Against Destiny (Asia 951207)", GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE )
GAME( 1996, 19xxj, 19xx, cps2, cps2_2p2b, cps_state, cps2, ROT270, "Capcom", "19XX: The War Against Destiny (Japan 960104, yellow case)", GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE ) << the new set
GAME( 1996, 19xxjr1, 19xx, cps2, cps2_2p2b, cps_state, cps2, ROT270, "Capcom", "19XX: The War Against Destiny (Japan 951225)", GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE ) << previous newest set (was 19xxj)
GAME( 1996, 19xxjr2, 19xx, cps2, cps2_2p2b, cps_state, cps2, ROT270, "Capcom", "19XX: The War Against Destiny (Japan 951207)", GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE )
GAME( 1996, 19xxh, 19xx, cps2, cps2_2p2b, cps_state, cps2, ROT270, "Capcom", "19XX: The War Against Destiny (Hispanic 951218)", GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE )
GAME( 1996, 19xxb, 19xx, cps2, cps2_2p2b, cps_state, cps2, ROT270, "Capcom", "19XX: The War Against Destiny (Brazil 951218)", GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE )

so you can see it's a good week newer than the previous newest set (the previous Japan parent that was 19xxj in current versions and has been renamed to 19xxjr1)

of course if you've already killed your board to run phoenix sets or whatever you're not going to be able to run this on your Japan PCB, but still, interesting news I feel, especially if people are aware of bugs in the game that might have been fixed here.

I noticed how many versions there were when I was playing it a few weeks ago... there's an even later version? Just what's in all of these versions, anyway?

I believe Japan 951225 was the later release. I noticed some changes like the more effective autofire (previous version have delayed frequency and only fires 2 shots per tap, try it with 3-way shot) and some enemies tend to releases more shots. This means the later JP release was considered the 'complete' version.

Whoa, I actually got an answer.

Aside from the ever-present pains of managing version differences, this sounds pretty great, actually. What's in that even newer version, then?
