astrocade

I fixed the scanlines for vga output. Since its done in the scandoubler its vga only.
RGB output is working fine (mist.ini, tested with my new cable I got from Till).
Also the keys are remapped:

  -- Astrocade      maps to pc key
  -- 0..9           0..9
  -- x              keypad x
  -- -              keypad -
  -- +              keypad +
  -- =              keypad enter
  -- .              keypad . or ,
  -- c              c
  -- v              v
  -- ce             delete
  -- mr             x
  -- ms             s
  -- ch             w
  -- ^              a
  -- %              p

-- Astrocade maps to pc key

-- 0..9 0..9

-- x keypad x

-- - keypad -

-- + keypad +

-- = keypad enter

-- . keypad . or ,

-- c c

-- v v

-- ce delete

-- mr x

-- ms s

-- ch w

-- ^ a

-- % p

I’ve ported another classic console to the MiST resurrected by MikeJ from www.fpgaarcade.com: The Bally Astrocade.

There’re still some todo’s left as I didn’t got the joystick working yet and I’m thinking of redo the key mapping. The current key mapping:

  -- bit  console           maps to pc key
  --
  -- 0    c   ^   v  %      z  a  q  1
  -- 1    mr  ms  ch /      x  s  w  2
  -- 2    7   8   9  x      c  d  e  3
  -- 3    4   5   6  -      v  f  r  4
  -- 4    1   2   3  +      b  g  t  5
  -- 5    ce  0   .  =      n  h  y  6

Player 1
- Arrow keys and space for fire
Player 2
- Numkeys and Num0 for fire

-- bit console maps to pc key

-- 0 c ^ v % z a q 1

-- 1 mr ms ch / x s w 2

-- 2 7 8 9 x c d e 3

-- 3 4 5 6 - v f r 4

-- 4 1 2 3 + b g t 5

-- 5 ce 0 . = n h y 6

Player 1

- Arrow keys and space for fire

Player 2

- Numkeys and Num0 for fire
