So... things changed in 0.195... want to verify if these changes are correct or not:

1) Prior to 0.194 led0 was Player1 start and led1 was Player2 start... these have now switched in 0.195. (Insert a single coin, and the Player2 LED starts flashing). Assuming for clarity sake, they should be switched back to the way they were?

2) Prior to 0.194, when you insert a second credit, each start button would flash alternately. In 0.195, both start buttons flash at the same time. I don't know which one is correct, compared to a real machine... I just know it changed.

And... only Asteroids changed... Asteroids Deluxe works the same in 0.195 as it did in 0.194.

If you need a file to test with, you can grab the artwork SteelTiger recently completed below (just make two copies of the file; rename one to asteroid, the other to astdelux.)

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.
