WIP:

- 3rd July 2001: Nicola Salmoria decrypted Astro Flash.
- 0.37b16: David Haywood added Transformer (Sega 1986) and clone Astro Flash (Japan). TODO: Decrypt Astro Flash (its the japanese version of transformer so we have a decrypted version as reference, similar encryption to system 1 games).

- 4th June 2001: Transformer (Sega 1986) is showing signs of life, the RAM / ROM check info can clearly be seen in VRAM, now to try and get some rendering code working. Tiles (SEGA logo, Font etc, now also appear in VRAM).
