--
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- From FPGA implementation of the Bally Astrocade based on a project by MikeJ et al
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Important info regarding Frame Buffer (FB)
--
-- Depending upon the setting of FB when this core is built, the samples (for Seawolf II)
-- will use DDRAM or SDRAM.
--
-- If FB is not defined, then the games will work on a bare DE10-Nano as they do not 
-- need SDRAM for any purpose but the screen will not rotate - this only affects Gorf
--
-- IF FB is defined then the DDRAM is used for the screen rotation for HDMI otuput so 
-- the samples will use SDRAM instead.
--
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
-- Notes (on what does and doesn't work!)
--
-- Overall
--
-- P2 controls not tested for anything
--
-- Extra Bases
-- -----------
-- This usually uses a trackball, but at the moment it is set up to use an analogue 
-- joystick for player 1 only. 
--
-- Seawolf II
-- ----------
-- This normally uses two periscopes which send their position to the game, again this
-- is setup to use an analogue joystick for player one. You can turn the sight for
-- player two on and off via a fake dip switch setting. 
--
-- Sound uses samples, originally from mame but modified to closer match the hardware
-- 
-- Space Zap
-- ---------
-- Player one controls are setup using up/down/left/right - the real hardware uses 
-- buttons for these, not joystick controls, but should be playable.
--
-- Wizard of Wor
-- -------------
-- Controls are setup in two ways as the game has a unique joystick with two leaves
-- in each direction, so if you move it a little way, the player turns to face and shoot
-- that way. If you move it further, then the player moves that way.
--
-- n.b. fake dipswitch settings to select Digital or Analogue controls
-- digital is implemented as directions and two fire buttons. (as per Mame)
-- analogue should work the same as the real game.
--
-- SC-01 speech implemented using a fixed-point VHDL port of MAME’s Votrax SC-01 core.
--
-- Robby Roto
-- ----------
-- setup using digital joystick
-- 
-- Hiscore always resets scores 12-21 on switch on, so only the scores above this will save
-- You also need the Dips USE NVRAM and Use Settings to Yes
--
-- Gorf
-- ----
-- SC-01 speech implemented using a fixed-point VHDL port of MAME’s Votrax SC-01 core.
-- Sound options
--      Stereo will play all audio on both channels.
--      Cabinet will play one channel through the top speaker and the other channel
--          through the bottom speaker (as per original hardware).

ROMs are not included. In order to use this arcade, you need to provide the
correct ROMs.

To simplify the process .mra files are provided in the releases folder, that
specifies the required ROMs with checksums. The ROMs .zip filename refers to the
corresponding file of the M.A.M.E. project.
