12th November 2008: David Haywood - I've spent the last day looking at some Kaneko titles. Obviously the next task is to fix my RLE decompression function, and understand the blit parameters properly. After hooking up the 'layer clear' feature, and blit status, as well as drawing one of the bitmaps (which is written to directly by the game to draw the lines) Gals Panic 3 at least gets in game, and is playable, albeit with some important elements missing. The backgrounds are handled by 3 'blitter' chips which decompress RLE background data into bitmap layers. 14th November 2008: David Haywood - I'm starting to understand the hardware of Gals Panic 3 now. To emulate these with any degree of confidence I need to know what my target is. The priority mixing is non-obvious, and there are probably some blending effects as found on suprnova. To finish the emulation I think I'm going to need reference videos / screenshots of the game. This means that backgrounds can now be seen. 15th November 2008: David Haywood - I've added the RLE decompression used for the backgrounds (used the same method as the suprova sprites). Changed gfx2 rom addresses to $e00000/1 and palettesize to 17155 colors. Started work on Gals Panic 3 - Game now playable. Updated suprnova rendering to allow 2 sprite chips. 0.128u4: Kaneko changes : Added Simulation of Toybox external data rom decryption. Belmont fixed Gals Panic 3, which displays 'Illegal Instruction' after ROM Check.

Changed 'Gals Panic 3' to clone '(Japan)'. 0.144u1: Corrado Tomaselli, Alberto Grego and The Dumping Union added Gals Panic 3 (Euro). 0.144u2: Confirmed Gals Panic 3's clocks and xtals from original PCB measurements. 0.146u3: Tafoid flagged Gals Panic 3 (Euro) and clone (Japan) as GAME_NO_COCKTAIL due to never having working flip screen.
#Gals panic ii driver
0.146u5: Make GalsPanic3 driver independent from kaneko16_state and use their own instead, it's cleaner to not use it now everything is devices.
