Source Changes

--------------

- Started adding support for scrolling reel displays, currently text only, but should be pretty easy to get graphics in there and add different direction scrolling - updating sc4 code to use these new types. [David Haywood]

 

- Stepper display output fix [James Wallace]

 

- Amatic Multi Game System driver improvements [Roberto Fresca]

* Identified the slots game as Super Stars.

* Changed am_uslot to suprstar.

* Reworked inputs from the scratch.

* Added support for outputs: lamps & counters.

* Added a button-lamps layout.

* Promoted the game to working state.

* Added technical notes.

 

- Amatic AMA-8000 improvements [Roberto Fresca]

* Renamed amaticmg3 to amaticmg2 since is the AMA-8000-2 system.
