TODO :
- Space Chaser (schaser): 1. The "missile" sound is incorrect. This is how it should be: It should be a constant "klunkity-klunk", and should only be heard while missiles are seen to be moving. When the red missiles speed up, there should be more "klunks per second" with the pitch staying constant. D.R. - Who says? According to the schematic the sounds are correct. Make a video showing otherwise or trace SX0 & SX1 on a real PCB to find the difference. Currently it beeps every time a player eats a dot. Seems right. 2. If "Hard" mode is selected, numerous bugs appear which could be either an emulation fault or a bad rom. Some bugs are: a. Graphic error halfway up the left side, b. Score adds or subtracts random amounts, c. Score not cleared when starting a new game and d. Game begins on the wrong level.
- Space War (Sanritsu): I seem to recall that the flashing ufo had its own sample sound, a sort of rattling noise. Unable to find evidence of this (so far).

NOTES :
- Most of these games do not actually use the MB14241 shifter IC, but instead implement equivalent functionality using a bunch of standard 74XX IC's.
- The Amazing Maze Game" on title screen, but manual, flyer, cabinet side art all call it just "Amazing Maze".
- Desert Gun was originally named Road Runner. The name was changed when Midway merged with Bally who had a game by the same title.
- Space Invaders Deluxe still says Space Invaders Part II, because according to KLOV, Midway was only allowed to make minor modifications of the Taito code.
- Games confirmed not use an overlay (pure black and white): 4 Player Bowling

WIP :
- 0.135u4: Removed includes\8080bw.h. Fabio Priuli added driver data struct to 8080bw driver, made MB14241 Shifter IC a device and moved its source to emu/machine. Updated 8080bw driver accordingly.
- 0.129u3: Chowell fixed color RAM length in lupin3, polaris, schaser, schasrcv and sflush
- 0.129u1: MooglyGuy added savestate support to all games in the 8080bw driver.
- 0.127u6: Couriersud fixed watchdog behaviour in the 8080bw driver verified from schematics (60 Hz signal clocks two LS161. Ripple carry will reset circuit, if LS161 not cleared before). This fixed watchdog reset in invadpt2 and sicv.
- 0.127u1: Fabio Priuli fixed input port confusion in the 8080bw driver. Connected AVGDVG status bits via PORT_CUSTOM.
- 0.125u2: Added layout\shuttlei.lay.
- 0.123u6: RansAckeR added more DIP locations and made use of PORT_INCLUDE to the 8080bw driver.
- 0.116u4: Mike Haaland hooked up P1 joystick inputs for P2 in Upright mode in a number of black & white 8080 games. Removed cocktail settings for games where it is not appropriate.
- 0.113u2: Removed machine\8080bw.c. Zsolt Vasvari added video timing from the Midway 8080-based b/w driver. This caused the visible areas of most games to change, so they will fail regression. Created a new file for MB14241, which is the shifter IC used by Invaders hardware games.
- 0.111u6: Changed visible area to 224x260 and VSync to 59.541985 Hz.
- 0.111u4: Major rewrite of the Midway 8080 black & white driver, separating it from the huge 8080bw driver and making the following changes [Zsolt Vasvari, Derrick Renaud]: 'True-to-hardware' emulation of the shifting circuits. Identified and stubbed sound triggers. Fixed dipswitches, where necessary (most games). Added DIP location to all switches. Added watchdog. Added coin counter. Added lamp outputs to Sea Wolf, Guided Missile, Space Encounters, Phantom II and Bowling Alley. Added stereo sound to Gun Fight, Guided Missile and M-4. Partial sound emulation in Tornado Baseball, Boot Hill, Desert Gun, Double Play, Dog Patch and Blue Shark. Properly emulated shifter circuit in Boot Hill. Added gun recoil output to Desert Gun. Added second set of analog controls to Clowns. Fixed analog controls in Dog Patch. Added SN76477 sound effect to Space Encounters. Added non-memory mapped coin counters to Space Invaders, Blue Shark and Space Invaders II. Added proper watchdog times to all the games. Breadboarded the noise clocks and ensured their frequencies were correct.
- 0.111u2: Robert cleaned up the 8080bw sound changes included with 0.111u1.
- 0.111u1: Robert added more documentation for the 8080bw driver. It describes the ports and bits for those games with no sound. In most cases, sample sounds have been attached, in order to assist with further development. The games modified are: invrvnge/invrvnga, rollingc, spcenctr, gunfight, m4, gmissile, schasrcv, 280zzzap, lagunar, lupin3, phantom2, blueshrk, desertgu, ballbomb, yosakdon/yosakdoa, and shuttlei. Two games were marked NO_SOUND although they actually do have sound: these are cosmo and dogpatch.
- 0.109u1: Some fixes for the 8080bw driver [Robert]: The correct samples are being used for lrescue, lrescuem, grescue and desterth. Dipswitch corrections for superinv, invadrmr, sinvemag, spceking and spacewr3. Removed extraneous beeping noise from indianbt.
