WIP:
- 0.145: David Haywood fixed background tilemap size, corrects level boss bg in Act-Fancer. This partially fixed the misplaced/missing graphics.
- 0.142: David Haywood converted Act-Fancer to use the common DECO video functions and sprite code. Converted DECO BAC06 tilemap to be a device, reducing code duplication. Started moving common DECO MXC06 sprite controller code to it's own device files, reducing code duplication. Fixed multiwidth sprites in decmxc06.c, removed code which appeared to serve no purpose other than to break the Birdie Try gfxdecode in machine\dec0.

- 13th June 1999: Bryan McPhail fixed Act Fancer with a new romset.
- 0.35b12: Bryan McPhail added 'Act Fancer' (Data East 1989). Doesn't work due to bad program rom dump and dipswitches are wrong.
