**********  There are 3 scrolling layers, 1 word per tile:

* Note: MS1-Z has 2 layers only.

  A page is 256x256, approximately the visible screen size. Each layer is
  made up of 8 pages (8x8 tiles) or 32 pages (16x16 tiles). The number of
  horizontal  pages and the tiles size  is selectable, using the  layer's
  control register. I think that when tiles are 16x16 a layer can be made
  of 16x2, 8x4, 4x8 or 2x16 pages (see below). When tile size is 8x8 we
  have two examples to guide the choice:

  the copyright screen of p47j (0x12) should be 4x2 (unless it's been hacked :)
  the ending sequence of 64th street (0x13) should be 2x4.

  I don't see a relation.

Object RAM tells the hw how to use Sprite Data (missing on MS1-Z).
This makes it possible to group multiple small sprite, up to 256,
into one big virtual sprite (up to a whole screen):

8e000 4e000 d2000   Object RAM (8 bytes/entry. 256*4 entries)

Offset:     00  Index into Sprite Data RAM
            02  H   Displacement
            04  V   Displacement
            06  Number  Displacement

Only one of these four 256 entries is used to see if the sprite is to be
displayed, according to this latter's flipx/y state:

Object RAM entries:     Used by sprites with:

000-0ff                 No Flip
100-1ff                 Flip X
200-2ff                 Flip Y

I think bit 4 enables some sort of color cycling for sprites having priority
bit set. See code of p7j at 6488,  affecting the rotating sprites before the
Jaleco logo is shown: values 11-1f, then 0. I fear the Effect Number is an
offset to be applied over the pens used by those sprites. As for bit 8, it's
not used during game, but it is turned on when sprite/foreground priority is
tested, along with Effect Number being 1, so ...


**********  Priorities (ouch!)

[ Sprite / Sprite order ]

    [MS1-A,B,C]     From first in Object RAM (frontmost) to last.
    [MS1-Z]         From last in Sprite RAM (frontmost) to first.

[ Layer / Layer & Sprite / Layer order ]

Controlled by:

    * bits 7-4 (16 values) of the Layer Control register
    * bit 4 of the Sprite Control register

        Layer Control   Sprite Control
MS1-Z   -
MS1-A   84000           84100
MS1-B   44000           44100
MS1-C   c2208           c2200

When bit 4 of the Sprite Contol register is set, sprites with color
code 0-7 and sprites with color 8-f form two groups. Each group can
appear over or below some layers.

The 16 values in the Layer Control register determine the order of
the layers, and of the groups of sprites.

There is a PROM that translates the values in the register to the
actual code sent to the hardware.

    Convert the 512 bytes in the Priority Prom into 16 ints, encoding
    the layers order for 16 selectable priority schemes.

    INPUT (to the video chip):

        4 pixels: 3 layers(012) + 1 sprite (3)
        (there are low and high priority sprites which
        are split when the "split sprites" bit is set)

    addr =  ( (low pri sprite & split sprites ) << 0 ) +
            ( (pixel 0 is enabled and opaque )  << 1 ) +
            ( (pixel 1 is enabled and opaque )  << 2 ) +
            ( (pixel 2 is enabled and opaque )  << 3 ) +
            ( (pixel 3 is enabled and opaque )  << 4 ) +
            ( (layers_enable bits 11-8  )       << 5 )

    OUTPUT (to video):
        1 pixel, the one from layer: PROM[addr] (layer can be 0-3)

    This scheme can generate a wealth of funky priority schemes
    while we can account for just a simple stack of transparent
    layers like: 01324. That is: bottom layer is 0, then 1, then
    sprites (low priority sprites if sprite splitting is active,
    every sprite if not) then layer 2 and high priority sprites
    (only if sprite splitting is active).

    Hence, during the conversion process we make sure each of the
    16 priority scheme in the prom is a "simple" one like the above
    and log a warning otherwise. The feasibility criterion is such:

    the opaque pens of the top layer must be above any other layer.
    The transparent pens of the top layer must be either totally
    opaque or totally transparent with respects to the other layers:
    when the bit relative to the top layer is not set, the top layer's
    code must be either always absent (transparent case) or always
    present (opaque case) in the prom.

    NOTE: This can't account for orders starting like: 030..
    as found in peekaboo's prom. That's where sprites go below
    the bottom layer's opaque pens, but above its transparent
    pens.
