Summary 05105: All games in fromance.c: Screen is shifted
Description The screen is shifted 1 pixels up since MAME 0.114u3. In the video driver the values for m_scrolly in WRITE8_HANDLER( fromance_scroll_w )
were changed from 0xfa to 0xf9. If you changed them back to 0xfa the screen is fixed.


Change in video\fromance.c lines 228 and 234 from

m_scrolly[1] = (data + (((m_gfxreg & 0x04) >> 2) * 0x100) - 0xf9);
to
m_scrolly[1] = (data + (((m_gfxreg & 0x04) >> 2) * 0x100) - 0xfa);

and

m_scrolly[0] = (data + (((m_gfxreg & 0x10) >> 4) * 0x100) - 0xf9);
to
m_scrolly[0] = (data + (((m_gfxreg & 0x10) >> 4) * 0x100) - 0xfa);
