    • CPU clock derived from #defined crystal value.
    • Replaced simulated colors with proper color prom decode.
    • Cleaned up the driver a bit.
    • Updated color PROMs

  • R. Belmont Rewrote faux x86 assembly in the Irem GA20 sound core.
  • Quench improved the sslam driver:
    • corrected the music sequencing simulation of the sound controller in SSLAM based on poking a real board Guru kindly provided.
    • added save state support
    • added DIP locations
  • R. Belmont fixed a crash in cybrcomm due to missing ROM.
  • Aaron Giles changed alpha blending code to use multiplies instead of table lookups to simplify it.
  • Aaron Giles cleaned up some poorly written code in konamiic.c; there is still much work to be done here, but it fixes the GX sprites.
  • Aaron Giles removed linear interpolation from the BSMT2000 by default since the original chip did not do interpolation.
