Source Changes
--------------
Rewrote IOX key matrix device implementation, used by Super Real
Mahjong Part 2/3 [Angelo Salese]

Removed ROM patches and added working player 2 inputs in Super Real
Mahjong Part 3 [Angelo Salese]

Fix compiling on GCC 4.6 prerelease [Belegdol]

Added information screen output for any game known to have bad or
missing data in order to better inform the user as to the reason their
emulation may not work as expected.  [Alex Jackson]

Removed ROM patch in Super Real Mahjong Part 2 [Angelo Salese]

Cleaned up iox implementation in Speed Attack [Angelo Salese]

Rewritten Speed Attack video routines from scratch, also fixed screen
flipping in it [Angelo Salese]

Define new macro ALLOW_SAVE_TYPE which can be used to declare enums as
valid save types on a case-by-case basis. Updated the cosmac CPU core
to do this for its mode and state enums, which were previously failing.
[Aaron Giles]

Added a new sound device: Oki MSM9810: [Andrew Gardner]
* Added and hooked up volume table.
* Added preliminary ADPCM2 support.
* Added sub-table lookups.
* Added OPT command.
* Implemented on-chip interpolation & status read.
* Implemented PAN command and stereo mixing.

destroyr.c driver minor improvements [hap]:
* proper addressmap masks
* added 30132-01.k4 rom, duplicate of 30132-01.f4
* added version O1 romset, dumped by Siftware

possible. [Miodrag Milanovic]

ksys573, naomi: Device-ify the security flashes and the dallas id
chip. [O. Galibert]

Fix the interpolation coefficient shifts for the tms5xxx chips based
on results of simulating the circuit from the patent. [Lord Nightmare]

mame_file is now emu_file and is a class. It is required to pass a
core_options object to the constructor, along with a search path. This
required pushing either a running_machine or a core_options through
some code that wasn't previously ready to handle it. emu_files can be
reused over multiple open/close sessions, and a lot of core code
cleaned up nicely as things were converted to them. [Aaron Giles]

Created a file_enumerator class for iterating over files in a
searchpath. This replaces the old mame_openpath functions. [Aaron Giles]

Changed machine->options() to return a reference. [Aaron Giles]

Removed public nvram_open() and fixed jchan/kaneko16 to stop directly
saving NVRAM. [Aaron Giles]

Removed mame_options() calls; options can only be queried from the
running_machine, or by passing them along. [Aaron Giles]

Added core_options to device_validity_check() so they can be used to
validate things. [Aaron Giles]

chdman: experimental incomplete .nrg disc image import [R. Belmont]

First (small) step towards driver class for megadrive-based drivers

[Barry Rodewald]

megadriv.c: Rewritten SegaCD/MegaCD emulation [David Haywood]

cdrom.h: Added alt lba_to_msf conversion needed by SegaCD/MegaCD
[David Haywood]

Replaced PSX SPU with a much more complete implementation.
[pSXAuthor, R. Belmont]

by introducing/using driver_device classes. [Atari Ace]

Eliminated global/static variables in a aristocr/atlus/bfm/bmc/
capcom/cinemat/dataeast drivers by introducing/using driver_device
classes. [Atari Ace]

Correct SPU IRQ notification in all drivers.  Fixes streaming audio in
Simpsons Bowling. [R. Belmont]

Implemented address readback position registers in rf5c68 sound core
[Angelo Salese]

Added HD6301 subtype to the M6800 CPU core. [Curt Coder]

Delete symbols file if defined when invoking clean target.
[Curt Coder]

Used the common MC68901 device in micro3d.c. [Curt Coder]

salarymc: CD redumped
[Roberto Malone, Yohji, Smitdogg, The Dumping Union]

sigmab98: added preliminary sound to the Sammy medal games
[Andrew Gardner]

tms9928a.c: Fixed colors in multicolor mode [Michael Zapf]

i386: Changed READ/WRITEPORT macros to inline functions to properly
support aligned vs. unaligned writes. Fixes regressions in MESS for
all drivers using the PCI bus and possibly others.  [Dirk Best]

Input ports can now be added to device, names are formed as sub tags
from parent device tag. [Miodrag Milanovic]

OKI MSM9810 : Added preliminary ADPCM2 support.
[Andrew Gardner, Lord Nightmare]

PSX: add DMA mode used for CD transfers on home system, fix DMA bug
that caused home system to freeze. [pSXAuthor, Harmony, R. Belmont]

Hash generation and general cleanup. New class hash_collection holds
and manages a collection of hashes, and can be built from an internal
format string which is stored with each ROM. Also compacted the form
of the hash strings used for ROMs, and fixed verification/hashing of
non-ZIPped files. [Aaron Giles]

snes_snd.c: fixed save state error [Fabio Priuli]

circus.c: Improved interrupt handling: circus generates them the same
way as ripcord (based on sprite-bg collision), robotbwl doesn't
generate interrupts at all. [hap]

Updated DIPS and Dip Locations based on documents posted by Laschek at
KLOV.  [Tafoid]

SDL: GLSL now works for all pixel formats; fixed memory leak on
textures [cgwg]

Eliminate statics/globals in drivers jpm/kaneko/maygay/meadows/merit/
metro/midcoin/midw8080/midway/msx/namco. [Atari Ace]

Convert dooyong/edevices/eolith/exidy/gaelco/gottlieb/igs/
itech/jaleco drivers to driver_device. [Atari Ace]

Decoupled some entagled drivers: [Atari Ace]
* Removed unneeded #include lines (gal3.c galaxold.c asic65.c)
* Split part of the driver include into a separate multi-driver
    include file (audio/exidy.h audio/exidy440.h audio/wiping.h
    machine/segag80.h)
* Moved code to a new file/include to be referenced in multiple
    drivers (ms32crpt.[ch] opwolf.c rainbow.c)
* Duplicated some code (palette related) between drivers (mainsnk
    rollrace sslam)
* Moved a driver specific routine to a generic device file (atarimo)
* Cleaned up a few include files (cubocd32 cidelsa metalmx seicross
    thoop2).

[Tomasz Slanina]

Updated LH5801 CPU core [Sandro Ronco]
* Added IO_SPACE and updated all access in ME1 memory for use it.
* Implemented interrupts.
* Fixed the flags in the ROL/ROR/SHL/SHR opcodes.
* Fixed decimal add/sub opcodes.

i386 - Fix for exceptions that require the return address to point to
the instruction at fault. [Barry Rodewald]

Fix disassembler override hook [Aaron Giles]

Fix reads for 32-bit handlers on 64-bit CPUs too. [R. Belmont]

Amiga fixes: [Roberto Zandona]
* removed additional 2 cycles, in move operation, for non-Agnus
    registers
* set to #0 the start cycle in the copper operation

PSX updates: [smf]
* Fixed DICR handling.
* Removed non existant root counter 3 IRQ.
* Ignore root counter stop when reset is also set.
* Removed custom root counters in Konami 573 driver.

clone chips, whereas it does on the original TI-made ones. Fixes Sega
Master System 'Vigilante' music [Lord Nightmare, Enik]

Modified video update system: [Miodrag Milanovic]
* Screen update function is now per screen device (it was before but
    was attached to machine driver)

      MCFG_VIDEO_UPDATE -> MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE
      MCFG_VIDEO_EOF -> MCFG_SCREEN_EOF

* EOF is now executed for all screens, so for all existing it is
    defined just for one screen. This part will be updated in future.

Refactored the CD32 code base to eliminate duplicate code between MAME
and MESS [David Haywood]

Added overloaded input_port_read() for reading device owned input
ports. [Curt Coder]

fix global flipscreen. [hap]

Naomi: implemented live M2/M3 decryption and decompression & removed
trojaned data from more games.
