Summary
It adds an unpopular Japanese EGA (JEGA) video card emulation.
I wanted to make it generic, but the only available ROM is dumped from a laptop computer, Oki if386AX. The card initialization depends on the CMOS data of that machine, so I had to patch some part of the ROM. The original 16x16 font was not available from the contributor. I added Shinonome 16-dot font that is available in free, but it doesn't have NEC's special characters. These ROMs might be replaced in the future.
I tested it with the Shuttle 386SX machine.
To contributors, thank you for providing ROMs and testing.
