future lookup optimizations.
By and large, the only things that used 2-character tags were bulk-
converted sound chips which were generally mapped to "ym" or "ay"
(and a few others). These were changed to "ymsnd" and "aysnd",
mimicking the way CPUs were changed from "main" to "maincpu" a while
back.
- Reworked PMMU/core interface so PMMU now sees all cop 0 instructions
- Improved disassembly of PMMU instructions
- Preliminary 68LC040 support
- Fixed disassembly for EC/LC variants of '030/'040

Originally the key extractor generated a false positive, but David had it continue after the first key and the second one generated works correctly

At some point the driver was updated and the CPU region for all other games is set to ROMREGION_ERASE00 while Final Gorodi & Wyvern Wings were marked as "0" ... changing this to ROMREGION_ERASE00 gets them running again.

Thinking about it, let's just use the code to generate irqs that he
sent, this lets the sprites go nuts, but I've noticed that since I
hooked up the line ram buffer it actually draws the sky in lineram,
thus confirming that it really is lineram.

Note the pcb had a lot of wire mods on it (being an early one), and the colors might not be correct yet, I'm getting some action shots from Andy to verify them. Also updated rom names for cosmica (version II) set since Andy has two of those pcbs, but I need a few more chip markings checked.

Oggetto: Minor change to Soccer Superstars roz double copy
This treats pens as transparent, prevents it from blacking out the screen on the 'Winners' display, although does cause some nasty flicker in the select sceren. I guess that's more down to proper source clipping needed to. It's on my -todo list. (video/konamigx)

Improved video offsets for these games (they're not perfect, I think in reality they depend on layers enabled etc. but they're much improved)
apply after previous.

It actually decodes as 2048 wide line data.
I don't know how to use it tho, I guess it's possible the buffers aren't
valid for the same reason that the road is always straight (maths dsp / mcu)
