Source Changes
--------------
bbusters: Fixed sprite wrapping -- this is used on the gun calibration
screen, at least. The game still hangs on a black screen after service
mode is turned off. Even exiting MAME and restarting doesnīt fix it,
so itīs probably a EEPROM issue. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added Noise Output to the MSM5232 emulation. [Nicola Salmoria]
Added placeholder effects for cymbal and hihat to equites.c. These
will need further work to properly emulate the discrete circuitry.
[Nicola Salmoria]
Cleaned cidelsa driver up to the latest spec. [Curt Coder]
Added NVRAM to Gekisou. Fixed inputs and promoted to working.
[Nicola Salmoria]
Explicitly fixed unmapped handler masks so that we donīt report all
unmapped addresses as 0. [Aaron Giles]
Centralized definitions of _WIN32_WINNT. Removed malloc/calloc/
realloc/free link-time overrides; we now rely exclusively on compile-
time overrides. Made a few tweaks toward getting mingw-w64 working,
but there are still linker issues. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed assertions in skullxbo and exerion. [Aaron Giles]
De-deprecat-ed ui.c. [Aaron Giles]
Changed xmlfile.c to pass in memory handlers to expat so that
our memory overrides are properly managed. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed wbbc97 regression. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed crospang.c regression. Not sure why this needed to be RGB15,
works fine with INDEXED16. [Zsolt Vasvari]
[GTICLUB] Fixed crash. [R. Belmont]
[SCSI] Fixed case when no device exists (e.g. running the sys573 BIOS
directly). [R. Belmont]
Got most of the Konami PPC games running again. [R. Belmont]
Fixed crash running "kviper" BIOS. [R. Belmont]
Changed crystal.c from RGB15 to RGB32. RGB15 is not enough bits to
hold the 5-6-5 colorspace. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Updated astrof.c to use the timer device. [Zsolt Vasvari]
dgpix and eolith: Converted to INDEXED16. Removed temp bitmaps.
Changed ugly recursive video RAM code. [Zsolt Vasvari]
ddz: Removed RGB15 -- itīs a "skeleton" driver, so why have it?
[Zsolt Vasvari]
videogeneric.c: Added PALETTE_INIT functions for common 16-bit RGB
patterns. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Converted f-32, kinst, lethalj, ultrsprt, gamecstl, taitowlf to use
INDEXED16. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added option in MC6845 to programatically set the clock pin. This is
needed by at least one MESS driver. Added
mc6845_set_hpixels_per_column() for the Hercules gfx adapter.
[Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed video timing in xtheball. Still donīt know why it changed
recently, but the new parameters reproduce the old values.
[Aaron Giles]
Removed unnecessary assert in video.c that broke screenless games.
[Dirk Best]
Changed the zombraid gun input ports to work with the calibrated
settings. [Derrick Renaud]
Fixed malzak2 from crashing. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed graphics ROMs in gnga. [Cesare Falco]
Added validity check to ensure input port tags donīt have duplicates.
Fixed several drivers where there were duplicates. [Aaron Giles]
Corrected clocks on Cabal bootleg. [Corrado Tomaselli]
blockhl.c, blockout.c: Added dip locations, fixed unknown dip
switches. [RansAckeR]
Removed improper use of PERIODIC_INT in mpu4, to use new timer
devices. Also corrected 50Hz timer in MPU4 Video games.
[James Wallace]
Fixed bug in tx1.c spotted by new compiler warnings in gcc 4.3.0.
[Atari Ace]
Another batch of pedantic static/const/include fixes. [Atari Ace]
Redid video timing in orbit with raw parameters. Added full memory map
and a few other cleanups. [Aaron Giles]
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status
---------------------------------------------------
Gekisou [Nicola Salmoria]
Mermaid [robiza]
New clones added
----------------
Ridge Racer (Rev. RR3, World) [Andrea Turci]

Looks like a lot more additions and bug fixes to get more games to work compared to the last release.
