Specific Contributions
The known contributions for this version are, in the order specified in the whatsnew:
- smf made the R3000 version of Area 51 parent set
- Nathan Woods patched memory.c: Introduced memory_install_[read|write][8|16|32|64]_handler_mirror() calls, which install memory handlers that can mirror similar to the AM_MIRROR macro
- Mariusz Wojcieszek updated the STV VDP-1:
- converted VDP1 drawing (sprites) to use framebuffer
- added sprite priorities (corrects shanhigw ingame and colmns97 title screen)

- improved sprites alpha blending (improves ejihon and shienryu intro)
- added framebuffer interlace (fixes elandore character selection screen)
