Todo/Mysteries

Housekeeping

• Merge Sprite_scaling with Sprite_shrinking
• Rename GPU to VDC everywhere ? Or VDP ? LSPC isn't really a processor. Sorry :/
• Rename BIOS to system ROM everywhere (done ?)
• Use 3rd parameter of Sig template (signal polarity)
• Use Chipname, Reg, Sig, BR templates

Useful

• Tooltip extension for registers ?
• Check everything in Meg count. Add links to game pages.
• Add pin numbers on AES cartridge pinout
• Add on to How to start page
• Tutorials
• Change DEFINE names (and register names ?) to the ones used in the AoF source code
• Memory chip pinouts
• Finish PRO chipset pinouts !
• M1 and S1 ROM speeds
• CD I/O ERROR 0001 0002 0003 ?
• CRC32 of all known ROMs/ISOs from MAME's neogeo.inc
• Add more jumper configs
• Memory card stuff (format, banks...)
• neo-mga on mv1a + PALs info
• Chip functions for each kind of board (even discrete logic)
• NEOGEO chip sizes, like pitch, span and body (useful for finding drop-in replacements like CPLD or Castellated pcb boards with replacement chips)

Trivia

• Add links to TCRF pages for the debug DIPs of each game
• CMC fix bankswitching: how/when is vram bank info sent to the cartridge?
• Recent security chips info (SMA, PVC...)
• Neo cd chip pinouts (not very useful)
• Are the two missing FM channels from the YM2610 actually off the die or just disabled?

Analysis / mysteries

• Why does the L0 ROM need an output buffer ?
• Loading time graphs for all CD games, is MESS reliable enough ? (no)
• Details on CD registers
• CDDA playback (needs more research in CD system rom)
• Dump LC98000 version Neo CD system rom
• LC8953/98000 microcode (note: Sanyo tech support has nothing left except publicly available brief sheet)

Verify

• Check Clock distribution diagram, especially on cart edge
