Title: Bubble Bobble
Post by: gingerone on June 13, 2015, 06:29:15 pm

Hi guys,

Just a quick one, does the original bubble bobble work on the latest version of mame?
I've upgraded today from mame32 and now only super bubble bobble works.
Do I just need an updated Rom?

IMHO, your best bet is to start by finding the desired ROMset version (or the closest version you can find + incremental updates) then get the version of MAME that matches.  YMMV.

Here's the list of updates to Bubble Bobble between 0.141 and 0.162 from mameinfo.dat:

Quote

- 0.155: darq fixed clone Super Bobble Bobble (bootleg, set 1), promoted from GAME_NOT_WORKING. Changed description of clones (set 1) to 'Bobble Bobble (bootleg of Bubble Bobble)', (set 2) to 'Super Bobble Bobble (bootleg, set 1)', 'Super Bobble Bobble (set 1)' to 'Super Bobble Bobble (bootleg, set 2)' and 'Super Bobble Bobble (set 2)' to 'Super Bobble Bobble (bootleg, set 3)'. Renamed (boblbobl2) to (sboblbobl), (sboblboa) to (sboblbobla) and (sboblbob) to (sboblboblb).

- 0.148: Robbbert fixed cocktail mode in Bubble Bobble driver.

- 0.147u2: hap changed description to 'Bubble Bobble (Japan, Ver 0.1)' and clones 'Bobble Bobble' to 'Bobble Bobble (set 1)', 'Bubble Bobble (US)' to 'Bubble Bobble (US, Ver 1.0)', 'Bubble Bobble (US with mode select)' to 'Bubble Bobble (US, Ver 5.1)' and 'Bubble Bobble (older)' to 'Bubble Bobble (Japan, Ver 0.0)'.
