    Source Changes
    --------------
    Don´t optimize tms57002 on OS X PowerPC builds [Couriersud]

    galspnbl.c: Add in missing button to Gals Pinball & Hot Pinball along
    with misc documentation. [Brian Troha]

    spbactn.c: Adjusted clock speeds based on OSCs actually on the PCB.
    Added missing button and labeled buttons. Added dipswitch locations
    and misc documentation. [Brian Troha]

    Added NMI sound ACK mechanism to tecmo.c driver [Angelo Salese]

    Misc documentation updates and typo fixes for neogeo.xml as well as
    updates and a cleanup of neodrvr.c [Johnboy]

    Fixed ffightj2 ROMs labels and locations, added pcb infos to
    videocps1.c [Team CPS-1]

    Fixed mapping for mmatrixd (cps2) to allow in-game region switch to
    work and renamed to a US set due to rom labels. Replaced Phoenix Set
    xmvsfu1d (cps2) bad dumps with others which pass in-game rom tests.
    [Barry Harris]

    timeplt.c: Added inputs to chkun and bikkuric, making them playable.
    [hap]

    Corrected some off by one errors in DM01 dot matrix emulation, while
    making it a bit more generic. Ultimately, it will plug into Scorpion
    2 and 4 hardware. [James Wallace]

    preliminary Toshiba TC8830F emulation [hap]

    i8251: "reset" bit is only documented to revert to looking for a mode
    byte, not reset the entire chip. [R. Belmont]

    Preliminary Z8001 support [Christian Groessler]

    Initial work in preparation for some modernization on the whole
    megadriv.c file, starting with better splitting of actual drivers
    (megadriv.c, megacd.c, mega32x.c, megasvp.c and megavdp.c).
    [David Haywood]

    More Z8001 work, M20 now passes memory test [Christian Grössler]

    Fix for i286 preventing error 104 on ibm5170 [Carl]

    Added PPC405GP to PPC cpu core [Lukasz Markowski]

    Added custom DCR read/write handlers to PPC cpu core
    [Miodrag Milanovic]

    gei.c: Refactored Trivia rom questions. Added misc documentation.
    Added DSW locations to several sets. [Brian Troha]

    This is phase 2 of the DMD changes, creating a new ´5 dot´ element to
    make it more like the actual DM01 (which uses 5 by 7 blocks, but wires
    them up row wise to a buffer, giving an unusual ´65 dot row´)
    [James Wallace].

    Z8001: Fix inb/outb @rX form. M20 PPI test now passes. [R. Belmont]

    Correct labels for bcruzm12 and replaced overdumped rom from butasan
    based on pcb pictures and observation [bonky0013, Tafoid]

    Updating MAME drivers to use modern i8255 implementation instead of
    the legacy one [Fabio Priuli]

    z800x: Support for disassembly of Z8001 instructions
    [Christian Grössler]

    segas16b.c: Corrected the rom labels for the Japanese Cotton set and
    added the Sega ID# for the rom board. [Tormod, The Dumping Union]

    Small Konami update: [Mamesick]
    * aliens.c : reverted wrong changes applied in 0.145u8.
    * crimfght.c : reverted wrong changes applied in 0.145u8.
    * vendetta.c : small cosmetic changes plus PCB components verified.

    Z8001 has 16-bit wide I/O ports [R. Belmont, Christian Grössler]

    68681: Timers start immediately; unlike counters they don´t wait for a
    start command. [R. Belmont]

    Finally done the last part of the dotmatrix changes, which is to
    create a dot by dot display mode. This makes the BFMDM01 emulation far
    more straightforward, and should mean that anyone wanting a matrix can
    call some combination of functions and make it work. [James Wallace]

    info.c: added screen tags to xml output, so that it is possible to
    easily identify which screens depend on optional devices (mostly of
    use in MESS, for its slot options, but eventually handy for PC-based
    arcades too) [Fabio Priuli]

    Improved sound emulation in for pokey chip. Changed audio emulation to
    emulate borrow 3 clock delay and proper channel reset. New frequency
    only becomes effective after the counter hits 0. Emulation also treats
    counters as 8 bit counters which are linked now instead of monolytic
    16 bit counters. [Couriersud]

    i386: IRET/Virtual 8086 mode fixes [Carl]

    Added the alternative bios found on Gachagachamp, it appears to just
    be recompiled. [smf]

    Added the 700B01 bios, only the CRC is known. [smf]

    Stop the elephant stage on Handle Champ from crashing, though other
    graphics issues remain. [smf]

    New Mega-Tech BIOS added. [El Barto]

    Fix regression on POKEY device introduced in last commit. Fixed high
    pass filters for POKEY. Added POKEYN device based on modern device.
    Migrated bzone, ccastles and missile to use this device. [Couriersud]

    Fixed random lfsr generation in pokey.c. This fixes MT00501 while
    tempest is still starting up. [Couriersud]

    Convert all remaining drivers to use the modern pokey device.
    [Couriersud]

    Emulated the protection(s) in lhzb2a, making it playable [Luca Elia]

    mc68681: Fixed generation of spurious interrupts, and provide
    ASSERT/CLEAR states to the IRQ callback. [R. Belmont]

    i386: another small vm86 fix [Carl]

    Added I/O board ROM dump for Ninja Assault
    [Tormod, Smitdogg, The Dumping Union]

    Chance 32 driver improvements: [Roberto Fresca]
    * Inputs from the scratch.
    * Completely demuxed the output lines.
    * Added lamps support.
    * Added a nice button-lamps layout.
    * Found and added the FEVER! lamp.
    * Fixed the Oki6295 and CRTC 6845 clocks.
    * Corrected the refresh rate to 52.786 Hz (similar to Major Poker).
    * Hooked the vblank input line.
    * Figured out the following DIP switches:
    Auto Max Bet, Flip Screen, Maximum Bet,
    Auto Hold, Double-Up Type, Remote Credits,
    Bet Limit, and Coinage Multiplier.

    preliminary Imagetek I5000 sound emulation. [hap]

    Started giving Scorpion games their own reel / key configs, which is

    or infinitely spinning reels. Also more work on 68307´s.
    [David Haywood]

    nmk16.c: Fixes some issues and cleaned up the video sources a bit
    [trap15]

    Fixed ymf271.c core timer allowing for greater accuracy. [Sonikos]

    BFM Scorpion 4 Hardware: [David Haywood]
    * General update which fleshes out some of the 68307 code (not 100%
    correct hookups, just improved logging and enough to get us
    somewhere).
    * Added various devices to the SC4 emulation, added a default layout
    showing the VFD, to which most of the earlier games will now write
    ´Initializing´. Timers and other devices still need to be
    implemented properly before they actually initialize.
    * Put the actual SC4 hardware emulation in drivers/bfm_sc4h.c so that
    it doesn´t get lost in the swamp of sets (scrolling through a file
    is quite hard when it´s almost entirely set definitions)

    mirax, miraxa (mirax.c) [stephh] :
    * Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs (after verification of the Z80 code)

    Implemented flip screen support to Mirax [Angelo Salese]

    galdrvr.c: Added preliminary protection emulation to Monster Zero.
    [hap]

    Moved all drivers to using the paletteram helpers defined in the
    driver_device base class. The palette base is now specified via an
    AM_SHARE of "paletteram" or "paletteram2". The driver_device base
    class now finds these pointers and places them in
    m_generic_paletteram_8/_16/_32 and m_generic_paletteram2_8/_16/_32.
    [Aaron Giles]

    Removed machine.generic.paletteram*, and machine.generic entirely.
    Removed AM_BASE_GENERIC/AM_SIZE_GENERIC as they don´t apply anymore.
    [Aaron Giles]

    Changed required_/optional_shared_ptr to support set_target with base
    and size for manually configuring a shared pointer, and a new allocate
    method for dynamically allocating (and registering the memory for save
    states). [Aaron Giles]

    Converted memory_private to memory_manager and moved global memory
    operations into methods on it. Converted the less-popular cases over
    in drivers that used them, leaving the bank management APIs global for
    now. [Aaron Giles]

    Add logic to ensure that shared pointers are checked to be of the
    right width. The primary upshot is that if you declare
    AM_SHARE("paletteram") in an 8-bit memory map, then only
    m_generic_paletteram_8 will be populated, and m_generic_paletteram_16
    will be NULL. But it applies to all required_/optional_shared_ptrs
    declared, so make sure they are of the right type. [Aaron Giles]

    Added code to cdrom.c to compute and verify ECC codes for mode 1/2
    sectors. [David Haywood]

    Added CD compressor template which separates subcode data from sector
    data, removes redundant ECC data prior to compression, and uses
    separate compressors for each part. Defined LZMA and ZLib CD
    compressors based on this and made them the default for CDs.
    [Aaron Giles]

    Redumped sprites rom of lhzb2 [Guru]

    Decrypted sprites in lhzb. Decrypted tiles and palette in lhzb2 and
    slqz2. Added inputs and memory maps in these games, pending protection
    simulation [Luca Elia]

    Move driver list/enumerator to new file drivenum.c/.h. Move
    game_driver definition and constants to new header gamedrv.h. [Aaron
    Giles]

    wldarrow.c: Added service inputs, allowing battery RAM to be
    initialized in test mode, making the games close to playable. [hap]

    namcos10: Fix banking for Mr. Driller 2, first stab at the encryption
    [O. Galibert]

    misc sc4/68307 updates + prelim peripheral hookups, allows most sc4
    sets to run their sound rom checks [David Haywood]

    additional information / notes. [Brian Troha]

    screen flash. [bdam]

    undrfire.c: Implement outputs for undrfire and cbombers. Lamps, gun
    recoil, and wheel vibration are implemented. [bdam]

    Fixed colors in senjyo.c driver (mostly noticeable with senjyo
    background colors) [Tsuyoshi Hasegawa]

    68k: add 68301/68307 aliases for better documentation [David Haywood]

    ins8250 - Support for the 16550 fifo [Carl]

    viper: Added main board DS2430 eeprom and code1d dongle eeprom. [Guru]

    viper: Fixed some IDE parameters to allow HDD games to boot again.
    [Ville Linde]

    Various improvements to Popo Bear, game is somehow playable with
    various video and sound glitches [Angelo Salese]

    namcos23: Enable work queues for a substantial framerate boost in 3D
    scenes [O. Galibert]

    Added redumped Area 51: Site 4 CHD (a51site4a). [ninjakid]

    bfm_sc1.c: [James Wallace]
    * First pass of splitting out *all* of Scorpion 1 roms into clones so
    that proper testing can begin.
    * Identified some duplicates and ´premerged´ versions of split ROM
    files. So while there are more ´games´, the number of ROMs has
    actually decreased.

    m6502.c: Fixed OAL illegal m6502 instruction to pass Acid5200 test.
    [Wilbert Pol]

    Formalized the Votrax SC-01 device. Implemented the full set of
    digital logic from the patent, including the timing circuit,
    transition circuit, glottal generator, and noise source. Some unknowns
    still exist with regards to clocking, due to contradictory statements
    in the patent, but as it stands now, all parameters are fetched and
    processed, phonemes are requested, and in theory all that remains is
    for someone with analog sound experience to simulate the filters on
    the output. For now, you just get the raw glottal pulse mixed with the
    noise signal based on the vocal and fricative amplitudes, which is
    enough to show progress, but hardly a pleasing result just yet.
    [Aaron Giles, Lord Nightmare, Olivier Galibert]

    Converted gottlieb r1 and r2 sound boards into full-on devices, using
    the recently-added mixer interface. All sound outputs are redirected
    to the new sound device itself, and then the consuming driver can
    route the new sound device´s outputs as appropriate. The Votrax chip
    has been hooked up properly, with a crude guess at the variable
    clocking. Current Votrax emulation is turned off, but it can be
    enabled by changing USE_FAKE_VOTRAX to 0 in gottlieb.h. [Aaron Giles]

    Added Driver display in both the game select UI as well as the
    gameinfo screens which should prove helpful. [Tafoid]

    chdman: Correct processing of GDI files, add ability to extractcd to
    .gdi, verified perfect checksum round-tripping on .GDI files.
    [R. Belmont]

    Rework libflac to play nicer with MAME´s build system; should fix
    compile problems on certain configrations based on suggestions by
    Tsuruchiyo Nitro [R. Belmont]

    k054539: Modernize [O. Galibert]

    PowerPC: properly mirror SO bit from XER into CR0 [R. Belmont]

    ioport: Make the compile time less insane [O. Galibert]

    ioport: Support obsolete gcc versions [O. Galibert]

    When copying CHDs, preserve the flag that indicates whether the
    metadata is included in the SHA1. When creating LD CHDs, don´t use a
    checksum on the AVLD metadata, like we did before. Fixes recompression
    of laserdisc CHDs. [Aaron Giles]

    Refactored YM3526 to use devcb. [Curt Coder]

    Create new devices buffered_spriteram_device, which manage buffered
    spriteram. Removed core support for legacy buffered spriteram, and
    updated all drivers to use the new devices instead. [Aaron Giles]

    Removed required/optional_shared_size helpers. Instead the existing
    required/optional_shared_ptr helpers now have a bytes() method that
    can be used to query the size of the shared region. [Aaron Giles]

    ymf271: Timer setup fix [trap15]

    votrax: Analog path [O. Galibert]

    tms57002: Modernize [O. Galibert]

    Various i386, x87 and PIC fixes. [Carl]

    neodrvr.c: Add program roms to Metal Slug 5 PCB. [Guru]

    Neo-Geo documentation update [Johnboy]:
    * Added SNK development boards
    * Updated MVS motherboard list
    * Updated sengoku2, zupapa, mslug, neodrift, ctomaday, pbobbl2n and
    jockeygp chip info
    * Added correct product ID codes for vliner and jockeygp
    * Updated hash
    eogeo.xml accordingly

    Fix for aleck64 crash on exit [Oliver Stoneberg]

    dec8.c improvements [stephh] :
    * lastmisn*, shackled, breywood, gondo, makyosen, garyoret, ghostb*,
    meikyuh*, csilver*, oscar*, srdarwin*, cobracom* : fixed Dip
    Switches and Inputs (after verification of the M6809/HD6309 code);
    coinage for games without real MCU is still a guess though
    * lastmisn*, csilver*, srdarwin* : added coinage simulation based on
    the Dip Switches
    * garyoret : use fake MCU based on ´gondo´ instead of simulating it

    PowerPC: Corrected DIVW divide-by-zero crashes, flags, and corner-case results [R. Belmont]

    chdcd: Fix crash when parsing bin/cue [R. Belmont]

    Rewrite INS8250 to use diserial, updated Microtouch to modern and made
    it serial device, updated connected drivers [Carl]

    Checksum the delay slot in single-instruction blocks in the MIPS3 and
    RSP DRCs. [Ryan Holtz]

    mc146818 - Set period even if timer is disabled, required for windows
    nt [Carl]

    diserial - added optinal rx and tx timers and callbacks [Carl]

    ins8250 - serial rx line high on start and fix for msr register [Carl]

    m68k: Add API to install a non-debugger instruction hook. Usage is
    strongly NOT recommended except for dire cases. [R. Belmont]

    Williams blits with bit 2 set take approximately 2x as long because
    they are bus-shared with RAM. Should impact some timing behaviors such
    as later levels in Robotron, where approximately 10% of the blits are
    done with bit 2 set. Further refinements may be necessary but this
    addresses the most significant issue. [Sean Riddle, Aaron Giles]

    i386: One more to fix cmpsb (dir /s in MS-DOS works now) and remove
    unused variables. [Carl]

    Improvements to Golden Poker driver [Roberto Fresca]
    * Inputs from the scratch.
    * Switched manufacturer ´Playman´ to PM / Beck Elektronik, since it´s
    PM and Beck Elektronik/Computer/etc...
    * Added technical and game notes.

    Added a trivial Y reject to triangle draw commands in the N64 RDP.
    [Ryan Holtz]

    N64: Various PIF fixes [Ryan Holtz]

    info.c: several fixes and additions to listxml output [Fabio Priuli]
    * appended to xml info about devices which can be optionally mounted
    to slots
    * added a description attribute to slotoption to show which devices
    can be mounted in each slot
    * added to xml info of cpus/inputs/image/slots which are relative to
    devices (e.g. CPUs or Dipswitches in the device itself)
    * tags of elements directly attached to the root_device do not
    display anymore the root colon (slot tags were already behaving in
    this way); elements attached to optional devices use tags starting
    with colon (to be interpreted as a relative tags which gets
    appended to the device tag, when such a device is selected in a
    slot)
    * modified when necessary output routines to pass a root_device and a
    root_tag as parameters, in order to simplify output of relative
    devices and avoid duplicated code
    * updated DTD according to the new elements and attributes These
    changes allow frontends to know in advance how drivers can be
    configured through the various slot options (by matching option
    descriptions with device descriptions), without the need to run
    -lx with the various slot combinations. This is especially of use
    if a device adds e.g. dipswitches or image devices (like
    additional floppy drives or additional slot expansions), but also
    if one wants to know e.g. how many sound channels a soundcard
    would add to a pc driver, or which kind of screen parameters would
    be added by a specific choice of video card.

    i386: Added 32-bit versions of LMSW, and made LMSW only change the
    lower 4 bits of CR0. [Barry Rodewald]

    Fixed Windows 95 blue screen. [Carl]

    Preliminary driver for Merkur´s ´Mahn Oh-Mann´. German board game
    similar to Ludo, derivated from the indian game Parchisi. Coin-op
    machine for 1-4 players. No screen, just artwork and lamps.
    [Roberto Fresca]

    Removed need for *_dev.lst files [Miodrag Milanovic]
    * enforced short names for slot card devices
    * updated validation, romverify and listxml output accordingly

    N64: Force mtc0 opcodes that initiate to-RSP DMAs to end recompile
    sequences to force a code check. Fixes certain microcodes from
    executing garbage code after DMA. [Ryan Holtz]

    N64: Don´t flush the RSP DRC cache on DMA. Fixes Mario 64 and others.
    [Ryan Holtz]

    N64: Miscellaneous machine fixes [Ryan Holtz]
    * Increase the amount of time consumed by PI DMA, makes certain RSP
    microcodes that test DMA speed land in the correct window.
    * Force the main CPU to yield when the RSP reads its atomic
    semaphore.
    * Force the RSP to yield when PI DMA completes.
    * Flush the RSP DRC cache when touching IMEM with SP DMA.

    i386: Prevent page faults when returning to same privilege and
    unmapped pages are above the stack. Windows 95 boots now. [Carl]

    Documentation of the video data on Dragon Gun. [David Haywood]

    N64: Fix audio sync issues in Super Mario 64 and probably others, and
    also bring PI DMA speed into the realm of reality. [Ryan Holtz]

    N64: Change PI DMA speed from 3 cycles/word to 5.08 cycles, as
    average PI speed is between 2.53 and 2.55 cycles/byte. [Ryan Holtz]

    i386: LOCK prefix should depend on IOPL on 386. Windows NT beta
    boots. [Carl]

    gticlub: Rewrote the 3D renderer. Implemented gouraud shading,
    lighting and fog. [Ville Linde]

    Create a new device_mixer_interface, derived from
    device_sound_interface, which mixes all its inputs to a single output
    stream. Redefined the SPEAKER device to use this and remove the
    duplicate underlying logic. The main purpose of this new interface is
    to allow device-ification of an entire sound board, which can itself
    become a mixer of all of its sound components to a single output
    stream. This stream can then be routed by the device´s owner to the
    appropriate speakers. A real-life example will show up soon. [Aaron
    Giles]

    Better management of FLAC block sizes, aiming to keep them around 2k
    samples. Increased CD sectors per hunk to 8 for better compression.
    [David Haywood]

    Re-did the non-CD FLAC codec to be "smart" in that it can choose
    either big-endian or little-endian on the fly and uses the best one.
    Added FLAC as a default codec for hard disks, which helps a lot for
    certain disks. [Aaron Giles]

    Added missing proms for Fax and Fax 2. [W. Belk, Smitdogg, The
    Dumping Union]

    That looks like a load of stuff in this new version. Took quite some time to be released, so explains why. Updating now.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    Rom set = 42GB
    Extras = 15GB
    CHDs = 220GB

    So in total it is 277GB
