[2008-08-21] After an exhaustive analysis to the unknown writes, finally figured out the missing sound device. - Added sound support to "Poker 4-1" and "Pull Tabs". - Figured out the output ports. Documented each bit accessed. - Added button lamps support. Created layouts for both games. - Switched the 8255 port C to be used as output port. - Adjusted the coin pulse timing. - Updated technical notes. - Splitted the driver to driver + video. - Final clean-up. [2008-05-31] - Renamed the games to "Poker 4-1" and "Pull Tabs". as shown in the ROMs stickers. - Renamed the ROMs in each set according to their own stickers. - Moved the driver into gametron.a group. - Added the missing input port C to 8255 PPI I/O chip. Poker41 and pulltabs don't make use of it, but is present in the Test/Setting Mode. - Updated technical notes. [2008-05-10] - Initial release. - Properly decoded graphics. - Proper memory map. - Added NVRAM support. - Proper Inputs through 8255 PPI I/O chip. - Both games are working. - Added technical & game notes.
