Moved the PCB layout for S.B.S Gomorrah (Bio-Ship Paladin) down by the game's romdef.
Added PCB layout for Spectrum 2000 & corrected company name to YONA Tech
Added PCB layout for Red Hawk
moved decryption routines (if needed) to between the info/PCB layout header and game romdef.
includes a redump of Megatouch 5 (9255-60-01 ROC, Standard version) U38 rom, which ironicly is also a BAD_DUMP... it doesn't work. The rom gives consist read but the game just will not fire up.

Protection cheat, now playable, removed GAME_NOT_WORKING.
Yes, the cheat sucks and yes this redefines slow, but I was able to coin up
and play Mappy :)

Subject: Patch file with minor documentation updates
Enclosed is patch file with some minor documentation changes:
* Updated all of the TRON sets with location of the roms and the board they belong to
* Updated the name of the PROM on the Super Sound I/O board
* Added notes about PALs that need to be dumped (The same PAL part numbers are also
used on Xenophobe and probably other MCR II & III games.)

Subject: quizf1, mslug4, description changes
Hi,
Attached diff for 0133 changes 2 descriptions:
"Quiz F-1 1,2finish" to "Quiz F1 1-2 Finish (Japan)"
manufacturer for mslug4 "Mega" to "Mega / Playmore"
Another thing: if the manufacturer is unknown, MAME either puts "????", "<unknown>", "Unknown", or "unknown".
Just pick 1 for consistency :P

Subject: galaxian background hum speed better with NEW_LFO
Hello,
The background hum of Galaxian sounds better, though not perfect yet,
with NEW_LFO enabled (audio/galaxian.c). Maybe it was disabled by default
because the quite drastic frequency change was thought to be inaccurate?
While the truth is that MAME has been wrong forever.

Subject: starblade polys fix
Hello,
See attachment for a diff that fixes a regression (mametesters 03317) with
Starblade in machine/namcos2.c while still allowing Rolling Thunder and
Fine Hour to work. I've also changed the comments a bit, since the extra 3
IRQ lines are nonsense: The C148 only has 5 IRQ lines.
Greets,

Subject: namcos2 multiple posirq
Hello,
I went ahead and properly added support for namcos2 multiple posirq anyway.
Attached diff for 0133 fixes the following issues:
- fourtrax track and mirror
- dirtfoxj game start spotlight effect, game still locks up tho
- burnforc 'hiccup' glitches when scrolling left/right
- luckywld tunnel glitch (still a bit glitchy though)
(this diff includes starblad_polys_fix too)

Subject: namcos2 posirq update
Hi,
Here's a small update to my namcos2 submit of yesterday, it simplifies
namcos2_GetPosIrqScanline, making both burnforc and fourtrax work fine, and
increases MDRV_QUANTUM_TIME because finehour didn't work properly anymore
in the 2nd attract demo. The posirq fix also fixes bad sprite colours in
finehour by the way.

I've marked the sprite roms on this as bad again.
There is no possible way that I can see to get good sprites with the
sprite roms we have. If those sprite roms were really on Guru's board,
then Guru's board has the wrong sprite roms too.
The tile numbering of the sprites simply doesn't match what the game
requests at all, many of them are offset by a varying amount of tiles
due to additional tiles that should have been inserted into the graphics
for this game. It is entirely inconceivable that these are correct.

Addition of more games from Heihachi_73 - email included:
Hey again. I was just greeted with a heap of ROM dumps for the older
8-bit MK4 hardware. They all show more than a black screen at least!
Enchanted Forest - 4VXFC818 (1995) [eforesta]
Top Gear - 4VXFC969 (1996) [topgear]
K.G. Bird - 4VXFC5341 - (1996, New Zealand, 87.98%) [kgbird]
K.G. Bird - 4VXFC5341 - (1996, New Zealand, 91.97%) [kgbirda]. Only U87
differs from the parent set.
Enchanted Forest - 3VXFC5343 (1996, New Zealand) [eforestb]
Black Rhino - 3VXFC5344 (1996, New Zealand) [blkrhino]
3 Bags Full - 3VXFC5345 (1996, New Zealand) [3bagflnz]. Graphics ROMs
need redumping, this causes small glitches in-game.
Phantom Pays - 4VXFC5431 (1998, New Zealand) [phantomp]
Fantasy Fortune - 1VXFC5460 (1998, New Zealand) [ffortune]
Sweet Hearts II - 1VXFC5461 (1998, New Zealand) [swtht2nz]
Golden Canaries - 1VXFC5462 (1998) [goldenc]
Autumn Moon - 1VXFC5468 (1999) [autmmoon]
Coral Riches II - 1VXFC5472 (2000, New Zealand) [coralr2]
Not all those were in the ZIP, those that were are at
http://agemame.fruit-emu.com/aristo/
Also m_brkfst is in the same directory, that's a Scorpion 2 game, The
Big Breakfast which is being used to test whether any new code is needed
to support Starpoint disc reels (basically vertically mounted
turntables, rather than drums). Much more work is needed to hook up the
inputs before the clones are added.
