This is a recreation of the Universal games that run on similar hardware

The game timing should be very close to the original, but the code is not 
necessarily identical to the real thing, but achieves the same end result.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Known differences / problems

Sound effects are all implemented using samples (other than the DAC)

I have added a screen flip option to the sprite code, sprites are flipped by the 
software on the real hardware, but everything else does have a flip signal. It is 
implemented as a fake dip switch.

No mans land needs the background video lined up properly in all flip modes.

Devil Zone and No Mans Land need sound samples sourcing and connecting up.

                                *** Attention ***

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.

Please refer to https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki/Arcade-Roms for
information on how to setup and use the environment.
