This should be fixed in the very latest svn. I have imported the IRQ code from MESS MMC3 emulation and now graphics shall be OK in *all* games.

Just compiled a r16226 MAME version and tested the games and the gfx looks ok.
But the background gfx is now shifted 1 pixel down (see pc_pwbld-0144u6-r16226.gif).
I think is has something to do with the scanline_counter (must be -1 or what else),
a small problem, hope this will be fixed in 0.146.

first of all, thanks for checking.

could you please open them as separate bug reports and leave this closed? I think they're all due to different reasons and the update of the PPU code has somehow exposed some frailty of the previous code.

it might be easier to track down the exact culprits once I progress in the merging of the mapper code between MAME and MESS... the original gfx corruptions, for instance, were due to inaccurate MMC3 IRQ handling which was ok on MESS (it's still not 100% correct but better :) )
