Summary	07850: gradius3j: After inserting coin, the title screen should show "PRESS START" message.
Description	After inserting coin, the title screen should show "PRESS START" message. Update There could be two versions of Gradius 3. After inserting a coin, the title screens shows... 1) "PRESS START 1 PLAYER ONLY" message. 2) "DEPOSIT COIN" message. Currently all versions supported by MAME work as 1.
Steps To Reproduce	Insert enough coins to play 2 or more games. Play a game. At the end it says to DEPOSIT COIN. According to this video, it should say PRESS START.
Additional Information	This report was transferred from Github issue #943. https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/943 Comments and confirmation needed. Other games might be involved - I didn't check.

There are cases where in pcb the "press start" message is showed right after inserting a coin, like the example provided by Fujix There are pcb videos where the behaviour is the same as MAME, like these two ones below. After inserting a coin the game still shows the "deposit coin" message: Could Fujix example be an undumped version of the game with this issue corrected? In MAME, for all game sets the only way to see the "press start" message is setting the game to Free Play.

That could be. I fix this issue and set a BTANB. Thank you.
