| Notes: V300 FCB PCB is almost identical to the V290 FCB PCB. The main differences are changed internal MCU | ||
| code & PIC code, more output transistors and an traded the RS-232 for a RS-232C IC. | ||

"and an traded the RS-232 for a RS-232C IC". What? Come on at least write proper English/grammar. Anyway this part quoted is not required. In practical terms for emulation purposes there is no difference between RS-232 and RS-232C

Thanks for the destructive commentary. English is not my first language.
I copied a note that was similar and lots of people look at MAME's documentation to find quirks or details about some hardware, so I included it for completion's sake. No need to be like that.
Will edit.

In future if you are going to make changes to existing docs, before submitting, first run it by someone who speaks English to avoid this situation. Anyway your whole addition is pointless as PS2 emulation will never be working in MAME to any level of playability and those games that require touchscreens and special IO boards and/or networked/multi-screen games will also never be working. This driver serves only one purpose..., to preserve the ROMs and HDD/CD/DVD dumps.

There are other emulators that utilize MAME drivers and documentation as a basis for naming conventions and guidelines regarding ROM/dump names. I've used them myself as a reference to identify the necessary components for running my own 2x6 hardware. I don't believe it's 'pointless', and I hope other reviewers share the same perspective.

Nobody in the dev circle really cared so far, already replied to this in the past, it's not a never ...

I'm honestly of the opinion that these super verbose docs can live as separate markdown files in 2023. They don't help at all when you have to jump back and forth between multi thousand lines of headers.

@Keropon do you have photos of the V290 and V300 I/O boards with PCB and chip silkscreen readable? |
|
I documented V290 in the src.... V300 is the same board with a sticker over the top of V290.... |
MAME isn't just about playing games on your PC. You of all people should know that. Also what isn't emulated changes over time, and having more complete information helps down the road. |

Updated the dump status of THE IDOLM@STER & Minna de Kitaeru Zenno Training.
Also added some info about the V300 FCB PCB found on the actual THE IDOLM@STER cabinets.
