Clones of Armed Formation

Armed Formation and M.A.M.E.

0.138 [Takahiro Nogi]
0.35b11 [Carlos A. Lozano, Phil Stroffolino]

WIP:
- 23rd April 2011: Angelo Salese - Discovered and implemented sprite color cycling effects in ArmedF driver. That's a RAM-based clut table that look-ups via a byte in the sprite defs. As you can see from the YT vids, it's used for doing neat effects such as explosions / bonus colors etc. in Terra Force. It's even more useful in Kodure Ookami, since it's used to differentiate the explosive red ninjas from the normal ones and in Armed Formation, that is used to make the sprites to be a lot less static.
- 0.141u1: hap fixed DAC chip playing Orchestra Hit Sample too low in Armed Formation.
