Comment:
It's hard to know if a 4th button is even used as the test mode only shows SHOT1 through SHOT3. Pressing SHOT4 for player one as mapped toggles the all 3 bits that are to the right of the DIP bank status display at the bottom of the test screen. Pressing mapped buttons for player 2-4 do not appear to have any effect.

Quizard 2.2 [Harmony]
* Created proper inputs for all Victor 6 sets.
* Fixed/extended Magic Train technical notes.
* Eliminated the 3 undumped bipolar PROMs from Magic Train
since these are in fact Darlington Arrays instead of bipolar PROMs.

Subject A couple of fixes...
Hi,
Here are a couple more small fixes, one is an i386 fix, the other for Neo Geo.
The first one is a fix for unaligned word and doubleword I/O reading and writing. It makes 16 and 32-bit I/O accesses become effectively a set of 8-bit accesses, preventing accesses from being re-aligned to an incorrect I/O port. This fixes issues in the FM-Towns where programs would set the palette by using MOV DX,FD92; OUT DX,EAX; (or similar) which would cause it to write to I/O ports 0xfd90-93, instead of 0xfd92-95 as it should.
The second is not so much of a fix, but as a convenience for the Neo Geo CD, by calling optimize_sprite_data() at VIDEO_RESET(), which will re-convert sprite data after it has been copied into RAM. Otherwise, sprites will always be wrong.
Thanks,
Barry Rodewald
