    • fixed vector flicker.
    • replace beam width by beam width min. and beam width max. width, this makes it possible to create a linear dynamic beam width by the amount of intensity of the beam.
    • added beam intensity weight, this adds an exponential factor to the dynamic beam width (values greater than 0 will push larger intensities more than smaller intensities).
    • fixed ratio of "vector points" (zero-length lines).
  • Felipe Sanches updated the psxcd device: Declaring ROM images for the CDROM controller MCU.

  • F.Ulivi provided a fix for imds2 driver after i8271 modernization.
  • O. Galibert updated the namcos23 driver: fix the polynew conversion.
  • O. Galibert updated the namcos23 driver: Go back to z-sorting.
  • Shideravan deorphaned the software lists for cd32, 3do_m2 and pippin so that they get parsed by the validity checker etc.
  • Barry Rodewald updated the amstrad driver: added Draysoft Doubler expansion.
  • Roberto Fresca changed the qotna set to run in a US-Export hardware. Even when is NSW/ACT, the program seems to run in that hardware. Added more documentation.
  • robj and R. Belmont updated the apple2 driver: fixed "The Mill" 6809 card so OS9 can boot.
  • Roberto Fresca changed the vpoker set description to Videotronics Draw Poker, since the game is "Draw Poker". Two companies sold it with different name. Documented the legal issues and added links.
