Summary 05203: 4in1, gmgalax, pacmanbl, ghostmun, crazym, pacmanbla, pacmanblb, pacmanblc: Graphics cut off
Description The sprites in the game Ghost Muncher in "4 Fun in 1" are cut off.
This problem is since the game was added in MAME 0.61.
If you correct the spritevisiblearea in galaxold_state::draw_sprites the problem is fixed (see animated GIF).

Changed in video\galaxold.c line 1645 from:

const rectangle spritevisiblearea(2*8+1, 32*8-1, 2*8, 30*8-1);
to
const rectangle spritevisiblearea(0*8, 32*8-1, 2*8, 30*8-1);

galaxold.c is deprecated. Games are being moved over (slowly) to the other driver. No fixes will be done to galaxold.c except recent regressions.

Graphics in gmgalax (Ghostmuncher Galaxian (bootleg)) are also cut off (same video driver => video\galaxold.c)

Added more games. It's interesting to note that the remaining clones (komemokos, pacmanblci, pacmanblv, pacmanblva) will push the sprites down a bit whenever any move up to the top. This appears to be a hack to make the sprites fully appear. If this is the case, then this report could well be a BTANB.

Also please note that although galaxold.cpp is the one in the report, the only game in there is 4in1. All the others are in galaxian.cpp .

I have seen a PCB behave like this, but there are so many bootlegs it's difficult to know which ones should and which ones shouldn't.
