Rampage: World Tour (rev 1.3)

Arcade 1997 Midway Platform Fighter
A sequel to the 1986 original, Rampage World Tour once again has George, Lizzie, and Ralph bent on a trail of destruction. The 'World Tour' of the title refers to the fact that the action now takes place around the entire world, instead of just North America. Graphics are much improved and a kick button has been added to allow even more chaos.

Hidden bonus items have also been added to the game; two examples are an item that allows any player character to transport to almost any location in the game instantly. A second gives the players more destructive power. Some stages have a vat of toxic chemicals that can mutate any player character into a huge purple bat-like creature called V.E.R.N (Violently Enraged Radioactive Nemesis) for the duration of the stage.

WIP:
- 0.122u6: Changed TMS34010 CPU1 clock speed to 50MHz.
- 9th May 2007: Aaron Giles - Having recently touched all of the TMS34010-based games led me to start looking into some long-standing issues with some of the Williams/Midway Z/Y/X/Wolf-unit games. The first thing to do was to add save state support to them, because playing Revolution X more than once to get to the place where the video craps out is not for the faint of heart. This was relatively straightforward, and also had the side benefit of making some useful data available in the debugger (such as the local_videoram array and the dma_registers array). Side note: any array or pointer you register with state_save_register_global_array/_pointer automatically becomes a viewable option in a memory window in the debugger. This is very handy if you need to expose any internal state. The Save states helped to find the Rampage World Tour bug that led to a hang. It turns out that there was code that would read the incorrect status register in the blitter chip to see if it was done. The top bit is the important one, and happened to be 0 most of the time, so most of these incorrect checks happened to work. Occasionally, however, a certain blit would be issued that caused this bit to be set to 1, and then this check tended to fail and just hang indefinitely waiting for a phantom blit to finish.
- 0.114u2: Aaron Giles fixed hangs in Rampage: World Tour.
- 0.114u1: Changed visible area to 399x253 and VSync to 54.815170 Hz.

- 0.79u2: Replaced Custom sound with DMA-driven DAC.
- 0.78u4: Changed region cpu2 to sound1.
- 0.74: Changed ADSP2105 clock speed to 10MHz.
- 0.63: Changed visible area to 400x254.
- 0.37b5: Aaron Giles added 'Rampage: World Tour (rev 1.3)' (Midway 1997) and clone (rev 1.1).
- 27th July 2000: Aaron Giles and Ernesto Corvi submitted the Williams Wolf Unit driver, which supports the following games perfectly with full sound: Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, NBA Maximum Hangtime, 2 on 2 Open Ice Challenge, Rampage: World Tour and WWF Wrestlemania.
