    ROM-2-BOARD using EPROMs labeled for the ROM 4 BOARD, but inserted in sockets at U8 & U10
 
 ToDo:
-   Priorities
-   Transparency effects (each pen has a transparent flag, there are seperate r,g,b alpha values to be used for these pens)
-   Idle skipping on other games + bios ..
-   Fix gaps between zoomed sprites (See Gals Panic 4 continue screen and timer)
-   Fix broken games
 
-Alpha pens:
+galpanis: Are the priorities correct on the KANEKO logo at the start, the invisible faded logo obscures the rotating white lines
-   galpanis uses them to white in/out the bg's during attract? Solid white atm.
 
-Priorities:
+video:   Sprite Zooming - the current algorithm is leaving gaps, most noticable in Gals Panic 4, and Jackie Chan which is sharing
-   Puzzloop appears to use the priorities, the other games might use alpha effects to disable a layer instead ..
+         the video code.
-     *they don't appear to use alpha, so how should it work, senknow intro, galpanis attract,  cyvern level 4?
 
-Ram-Based Tiles:
+video:   Sprite positions still kludged slightly (see skns_sprite_kludge)
-   The front layer in galpanic games
-   The kaneko logo in galpanis
-   The Bios
 
-Sprite Zoom:
+general: bios is still being skipped, gets stuck at last bios screen if we run it (see #define BIOS_SKIP)   
-   Used all over the place in the Gals Panic games, check the bit in galpani4 attract where if you hammer the button the ballon expands until it bursts.
-   Puzz Loop main logo
 
-Roz:
-   Should be used on galpani4 bg's, but for some reason incxx,incxy,incyx,incyy are always 1,0,0,1 resp. Maybe a timer problem, input problem or core problem. Who knows?
-      Update, rand() was returning a 15-bit number under mingw. Top bit seemed to determine whether it rotated or not.
-   To zoom the skull in the senknow attract mode
-   To zoom the girl at the end of a level in galpanis
-   To zoom the kaneko logo in galpanis
-
-Linescroll:
-   Puzzloop intro, the screen covered in 'puzz loop' of varying sizes, the little ones go left and the big ones right.
-   Puzzloop title screen uses it just to scroll the bg up.
-   Also used behind the hi-score table on puzzloop...
-   Galpani4/galpanis use it for 2P mode on both bg A and bg B.
-
-R,G,B Brightness:
-   The Electro Design games have this set darker than 0xff for sprites and bg's anyway.
-   Galpanis uses it to dim the bg's in attract on the stats screens for the characters (bg's hidden by white pen atm).
-Lots of games use them to fade, haven't seen r,g,b used independently yet but you never know.

-gutsn Crash Reason
-the routine at 401d8c8 calls 40249e0 with r14 as a parameter, which points where the return pr on the stack is
-param is 60ffbc0, pr is at 60ffbcc, but 40249e0 writes more than 12 bytes
-Gutsn now works in 0.69, timing/sh2 fixes??
