    • Applied text layer decrypt to the regular tiles, it also improves them a lot
    • Greatly improved tilemap emulation including scrolling, layer disables, etc.
    • Improved tilemap emulation further, including tile bank select and palette bank select.
    • Supports alternate (older?) video hardware in viperp1 with one fewer tilemap and a different VRAM layout.
    • Added mahjong keyboard controller for ejanhs, but it doesn't coin up yet.
    • Improved sprite drawing

  • R. Belmont cleaned up the Konami GX driver:
    • Removed Acho's fake dipswitches to avoid confusing real PCB owners
    • Unified and cleaned up memory maps to latest specs.
    • Some more protection emulation for rushhero (the spritelist is now copied to the right place), but no visible results
