Interlude: Konami 051316 and 053260 (Patreon)

Before modifying tiers to allow voting on what I should work on next, I'll be working on the Konami 051316 (rotozoom chip used to generate perspective planes such as maps and roads) and the 053260 (PCM audio).

These got on my todo-list when I intially wanted to build upon the TMNT core to support other games, before I decided to leave the hardware-specific core work to the community.

The next paid post (not necessarily the very next post !) will cover the tracing and documentation of these two chips, including schematics and notes.
The 051316 is a pretty simple Fujitsu gate array from a series for which I built a nice cell list over the years. The 053260 however is from Toshiba, which is going to be more challenging.

MiSTer-ization of TMNT continues, of course :)
