No.05314 Tafoid Administrator Dec 27, 2009, 02:01	This is a bug that I suggest we check against original PCB behavior. I tested this way back to MAME 0.61 and the same behavior is exhibited. I don't see how after the driver has been rewritten and refactored numerous times over the years that this same bug is present and not be an original bug. I'll mark his as confirmed - but possible - pending PCB testing. Hopefully one can be sourced.
