kinstb, ffight2b, iron, denseib, sblast2b (snesb.c) [stephh] :

PGM, Scorpion 4/5 and Astra Fruit Machine [David Haywood]

* Slightly reworked some previous PGM submissions.

globalfr.c VFD improvement to allow for better debugging as well as some rom splitting of clones for the driver. Also did some stepper motor work to support more types. [James Wallace]

 

ecoinf3.c [David Haywood]

* Added some 8255s (maybe too many, not sure how many the PCBs have) and identified where it writes the 'VFD' strings.

Revamped the sprite decryption of raiden2-like Seibu boards. [Andreas Naive]
