CHANGELOG 240402

• Updated the RP2 version to add support for the WT588D voice module. Please note that the sound samples (soundfont.winproj.bin) have to be loaded into the voice module's SPI Flash memory first so they can be heard. This component is not required at all to play the game.

To play the game purely on hardware, the following materials are needed:

CPURaspberry Pi RP2 based development board with MicroPython >= v1.17 firmware
VIDEOTexas Instruments TMS9918 or 9918A / 9118 or 9928A / 9128 or 9929A / 9129 Video Display Processor + 16K external VRAM
AUDIOTexas Instruments SN76489A + 74HC595 SIPO shift register.
Waytronic WT588D voice module (optional)
INPUTNES-004 or NES-039 or SNS/SHVC-005 or any PISO shift register based controller

The connections are self-explanatory. They are predefined in the source code, but you can change them to suit your RP2 development board.
To be honest, this version is not intended for you to actually play it, but as an archive / legacy for myself, but if you want to do it, go ahead, but consider that you will have to spend too much time into research and money.
