• O. Galibert updated the memory system: Add support for dynamically mapping devices.

• Wilbert Pol updated v30mz.c: Converted to c++.

• R. Belmont updated the H8 core: Very preliminary H8S/2294 support.

• R. Belmont updated invqix: General EEPROM, FPGA, and IRQ hookups.

• Brian Troha updated invqix.c: Added PCB layout for Space Invaders / Qix Silver Anniversary Edition.

• R. Belmont updated invqix: Added inputs and sound, promoted to working. Qix has some TBD text weirdness.

• Angelo Salese added inputs, sound, graphics and fixed colors to Bega's Battle / Road Blaster HW.

• R. Belmont updated invqix: some cleanup, mapped all 4 start buttons, cocktail flip works.

• Brian Troha updated tickee.c: Correct the dipswitches for Mouse Attack and add dipswitch locations.

• Tafoid updated Tank Force - 4 Player (tankfrce4): Inputs were switched so that Player 2 was no longer assigned to Player 3 and vice versa.

• Brian Troha updated model2.c: Fixed the loading of the sound samples for the Sega Rally Championship sets and added correct IC locations to the roms. Labeled the current sets "Twin" and added a "DX" set. Documented the missing (undumped) roms for the DX set.

• R. Belmont updated the H8/H8S core: fix MULXS.B to select the proper source register. Fixes text in Qix section of invqix.

• R. Belmont updated the H8/H8S core: Correct disassembly of MULXS.B and MULXS.W.

• Osso updated some drivers to use the new SN76496 device implementation.

• David Haywood converted Kaneko sprites to a device. This should facilitate cleaning up video related files as well (sprites and tilemaps).

• Curt Coder updated the SAA5050: Fixed double high character mode, and forced character data to 7-bit.

• R. Belmont updated drcbec.c: compute flags correctly for ADDC/SUBB.

• Matthias Reichl updated the SDL port: Fix -prescale option for SDL builds.

• Corrado Tomaselli confirmed Vulgus information from PCB for clock speed and vsync.

• O. Galibert updated emucore.c: make downcast errors more useful.

• R. Belmont updated drcbec.c: Calculate NZ flags properly for 32x32=32 form of MULS.

• Angelo Salese hooked up i8255 in Kikiippatsu Mayumi-chan.

• Don Hodges updated bzone: Corrected bonus tanks typos.

• O. Galibert updated addrmap.c: Fix device mapping on big-endian systems.

• O. Galibert updated rp5c15: Initialize at power-on (makes the x68k boot reliable).

• Smitdogg and The Dumping Union updated 8080bw.c: Moon Lander color proms verified correct.

• Brian Troha updated lwings.c: Added PCB locations to the Trojan sets.

• Brian Troha updated parodius.c: Corrected rom PCB locations for all the Parodius DA! sets.

• Brian Troha and ShouTime updated dassault.c: Added PCB locations to all the Thunder Zone / Desert Assault sets.

• Brian Troha and Stefan Lindberg updated dassault.c: Better documented the PCB stack and changed clocks to be derived by on board OSC.

• Miodrag Milanovic added internal mouse cursor visible in menus and when clickable artwork is used.

• Angelo Salese provided a preliminary implementation of the MOVBSU opcode in V810 CPU core.

• Angelo Salese added ANDNBSU and ORBSU opcodes in V810 CPU core.

• Roberto Fresca added dynamic length to the color PROMs decode routines based on ROM region length. This fixes a horrible hang/crash in DEBUG=1 builds.

• R. Belmont updated the PPC core: fix SRAW behavior with C backend. x86/x64 BEs need work to pass.

• Angelo Salese hooked up Epson 62423 RTC device to Hyper Neo Geo 64.

• Angelo Salese made 24/12h bit register to be correctly activated in Epson 62423 RTC device.

• Angelo Salese implemented irq ack/pending mechanism to Hyper Neo Geo 64.

• R. Belmont updated the PowerPC core: fix CMP/CMPI instructions; they were behaving as CMPL/CMPLI and generating wrong flags.

• David Haywood did further major organization, documentation, reordering and making of clones causing numerous (over 6000) new gambling / Fruit machine sets to be created, covering multiple systems.

• The Dumping Union and R. Belmont provided a first round of GD-ROM redumps. Many more to come.

• Jim Stolis updated peplus.c: Added dollar bill validator (DBV) to emulate IGT's IDO22 pulse protocol. All non-superboard games (and a few superboards) now accept bills via IPT_COIN2. Denomination is determined via driver configuration settings. The Set Chip steps are still required to enable the DBV before use.
