Contributions

The known contributions for this version are, in the order specified in the whatsnew:


  • John Parker mostly fixed the Scorpion4 7segment displays.
  • MASH fixed coinage in Touchmaster 2000-8000.
  • Joakim Larsson Edstrom updated the z80scc device: fix dropped character problem for sun4_75, and fix edge cases where datasheet recommendations are ignored allowing sun3/sun4 to recognise keyboard and hk68v10 to work with correct SCC clock.
  • rzero9 updated the pc9801 driver: fixed mouse buttons.
  • milliluk provided coco3 improvements:
    • improve palettes and support alternate composite mode.
    • GIME fix for scanlines in legacy graphic modes.
  • milliluk updated the m6809 core: Improve debugging support for 6809/6309 cpus.
