  • Curt Coder added a COP420 core for the Altair games.
  • robiza increased the interleave in Xevious to fix synchronization issues.
  • Aaron Giles added a new output control system. This system is designed to support multiple output streams, and should replace all instances of printf in the code.

    • mame_printf_error
    • mame_printf_warning
    • mame_printf_info
    • mame_printf_debug
