Aristocrat MKIV driver: Changed the Fever Pitch input scheme
and artwork layout, since it seems that the game lacks of a
gambling or double-up feature. Also cleaned a bit the driver.

170183    Added new game Caribbean Gold (cgold), however it is not a straight swap as it has slightly different input locations:
171     - With unmodified 0.148 source, game complains about logic door being open, which is seemingly tied to the current coin input.
172     - When HOPCO2 is toggled off/on quickly (default is on otherwise it will cause a note acceptor error), the note acceptor works, adding 4 credits ($1?) - this is seemingly a quarter slot (25c). Not sure if other notes are possible.
173     - Same gameplay as Gone Troppo, one interesting thing about this game is that the KQJ symbols have actual faces instead of plain letters.

176193    Cleaned up comments and erroneous ROM names (e.g. graphics ROMs named after the program ROM).
177    Caribbean Gold II - copied cgold graphics ROMs u8+u11 (aka u20+u45) to cgold2, game now playable. Tiles 0x64 and 0x65 are used to show the game's denomination (credit value), however cgold does not use these tiles (there are seemingly unused line/bet/number tiles in this location), this causes a minor glitch on the $/c sign. Tiles 0x277-0x288 also differ but are unused.

194    When the games first power on (or when reset), they will display a TILT message on the screen. This doesn't affect gameplay, and if there are no pending errors the game should coin up and/or play immediately.
195    The tilt message will also appear when an error code is displayed, such as the main door being opened/closed, or a hardware error/fault (such as hopper empty, coin yoyo, printer errors; none of which should happen in MAME however).

219
196220    The tilt message will disappear if you turn the Audit Key on and off, or after you start playing.
197    Despite the name, there is no 'tilt' mechanism in the machine and there is nothing to worry about. The first Aristocrat system to have a tilt mechanism was the MK5, which will cause the machine to reset abruptly if the player is too rough (e.g. hitting the screen or bumping the machine).

198224
199    These games do not feature a backup mechanism in case of power faults or system crashes requiring a reboot; if the player was in the middle of a spin or watching a win count up, any credits won on that spin will be voided.
200    On the machine's artwork, this is reflected with text reading 'Malfunction voids all pays and plays', of which the text has also been carried onto later machines. The Aristocrat MK5 and later systems however feature backup mechanisms and will repeat the last game (including free game features and/or gamble selection) when powered on, to where the player had left off.

202    Gone Troppo and Caribbean Gold 1 and 2 require DIP SW7 to be set to off/off or else the second screen will be broken. This is possibly true to the original machine.

233    This is possibly true to the original machine.
234
203235    A similar thing happens with Top Gear, the drag cars' tyres will only be the correct colour (grey) if SW7 is off/off.
204    In Wild One, the dollar sign on the Insert $2 graphic is the wrong colour on other settings as well. It only appears correct when SW7 is off/off. This is probably a bug in the original game, where the graphic designers have used the wrong palette for the background of the dollar sign.

207243    cgold, gtroppo and topgear are non-multiplier, 5 payline games, therefore, you cannot bet higher than 5 credits on these machines.

209    cgold can be set to credit play or coin play by toggling SW1-5. If SW1-5 is on, game is in credit mode; if SW1-5 is off, wins and remaining credits will be automatically paid out as coins.

211    Non-US games can enable/disable the double up (gamble) option by toggling the SW1-8 switch. Turning SW1 off will enable the double up option (default); turning SW1-8 on will disable double up and enable auto-spin on some games (so far, only eforesta and 3bagflvt allow this; other games simply ignore the buttons). The games respond slightly faster between games with double up disabled.
212    3 Bags Full, Fortune Hunter, Caribbean Gold 1 and 2, Gone Troppo and Top Gear do not have a double up option, and US-based games ignore this switch setting (double up is always enabled on US games which support it).

216260     - White Tiger has bad graphics ROMs.
217261     - Caribbean Gold 2 is missing two graphics chips.
218262     - Clockwise needs its program ROM redumped, original dump was 32K of 0xFF's. Graphics and video/sound ROM are OK.

254    EDIT: it's a vblank check, BITA opcode checks bit 5 in A register and compares it with the contents of 0x1800 (that is vblank in
255    mc6845_status_r). Checking if a bit goes low then high it usually means that is moaning for a vblank. ;-)
256    But now there is a new question: what kind of mc6845 clone this HW uses? It's clearly not standard mc6845, since that version doesn't
257    support vblank reading. The vblank bit can be read only on C6545-1, R6545-1, SY6545-1 and SY6845E subvariants, so it all lies to
258    those. -AS
