Summary 00516: All sets in maxaflex.c: The digits don't display correctly.
Description The digits don't display correctly (it was the same problem in 0.108u3) My layout/maxaflex.lay file : 2006.08.15 15:28 ...

Aaron says: The pattern attribute was removed on purpose. Putting it back is the wrong fix. The maxaflex code needs to be changed to output the raw 7-segment data. I've already done that for the next release.

Updated by stephh: I agree that some improvements have been made, but some bugs still remain for "empty" digits. Note that this bug affects the 4 games of the driver: mf_achas, mf_bdash, mf_brist, mf_flip
Steps To Reproduce wait until the timer goes down under 100 and it will display 199

I don't like these 'all sets' reports, it isn't clear (without opening them) exactly which sets it means, I thought this was a mame-wide bug.

in the case of all sets, maybe the driver name should be used instead, or 'all sets in xxxx.c'
