WEC Le Mans 24 (set 2)

Arcade 1986 Konami
A demanding yet superb sprite-scaling racing game from Konami, based on the annual 'WEC Le Mans 24' race; a gruelling event that, as its name suggests, takes place over a 24-hour period.

The width of Le Mans' racetrack never varied and remained a constant 3 lanes wide. The track itself was incredibly demanding and contact with either a rival racer or one of the many track-side objects would send the player's vehicle flying dramatically through the air, costing valuable seconds in time.

- 0.36b4: Luca Elia added WEC Le Mans 24 (Konami 1986). Known issues: Wrong colours (only the text layer is ok at the moment. Note that the top half of colours is written by the blitter, 16 colours a time, the bottom half by the cpu, 8 colours a time). Stray lines on sprites. The parallactic scrolling is sometimes wrong. One 32k ROM unused. Incomplete DSWs. No shadow sprites. Sprite ram is not cleared by the game and no sprite list end-marker is written. We cope with that with an hack in the Blitter but there must be a register to do the trick.
- 2nd September 1999: Luca Elia sent in drivers for Wec Le Mans 24 and Hot Chase, but Wec Le Mans is still a bit quirky.
