IGS PGM Core released for the MiSTer FPGA

[eccentric-nut]

Looks like an IGS PGM core has been released today. It is working well so far, some really cracking shoot 'em ups on the PGM!

Nice, I would quite like to have a go on demon front.

DDP DOJ!!!!!

I'm interested to see how audio gets handled in this, and seeing if any improvements in it get backported back to mame, since that's pretty much the only issue with current PGM emulation.

Seems to have been removed

Did anyone manage to snag a copy before it got taken down?

Looks that way, some other github users forked before removal.

"the MAME LPC2132 ARM emulation used by these sets was also implemented by me. I submitted it to MAME, but it was not accepted upstream; the implementation here is entirely my own."

What was the problem with the code that the MAME team refused it? If anyone has the PR number I'd be interested in reading the comments.

Edit: I searched mame for his contributions and found nothing. Only this bug report: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/issues/13482
I found a PGM commit he did for the fbneo emulator but it was a copy of the mame code and they asked him to add the mame authors to the header credits. Seems fishy. Anyone know why he took this down? Was it a copy of wickerwakka's core?
