0.36b7 [Aaron Giles]

Bugs:

Text at top of screen in "COLOR TEST" is scrambled, instead reading "CNKNQ TDRS". Also, "MOTION OBJECTS TEST" is scrambled as well, this is shown in the screenshot. Other parts of service mode also have some glitching, such as the "Playfield Stamp Test"... Were these present on the real board (It is a prototype...)? EDIT: Hm... I just noticed looking at it... the incorrect letters are one behind the letter that should be there... arcadecl0105u1gre BarnacleEd (ID 00372)
