This fix mantis 03433: Jolly Card, Royal Card, Lucky Lady, Royal Vegas sets (and others)...: All games that need NVRAM initialized aren't working anymore.
* Discovered and documented new features in Jolly Card (Evona Electronics).
* Removed the commented hack for joly980 driver init since is not needed anymore.
* Fixed a bug introduced with the massive input change, that didn't allow initialize
all sets that need the normal procedure to do it.
* Updated technical notes.
so this code will crash if machine == NULL and the keycode was not a built in
keycode. Changing this so that it will gracefully fail if machine == NULL

Subject: Black Touch '96 improvements
I'm sending the complete file this time. Unzip it after applying the previous update.
It improves the sprite emulation (still wrong tho) Seems Seta/Taitoish

Subject: gfxdecode fixes
This fixes the plane order in the gfx deodes for Black Touch '96 sprites, and Poke Champ sprites.
The Poke Champ backgrounds make absolutely no sense to me tho, it seems impossible to get the
colours in palette ram to align with the planes of the tile data, see the Korean flag ingame with
the obvious R/B colours in the palette which can't be achieved through any combination of order swapping.

Subject: Little Robin debug code
I've added some verbose debug logging to the little robin 'vdp' writes,
which might come in handy.
I plan on looking at this further, but would rather check in these
changes as they give a clearer picture of what's happening with the VDP
which may help determine when it writes data, what modes it attempts to
set, and therefore allow more educated guesses at the expected behavior.
I can't imagine it will actually be too hard to get working, we're just
missing some key piece of information right now.
