This lists only things directly related to MAME. Also, order listed here may not reflect actual implementation order.

	* ~~Fix 539X issue with Mac Quadra 700 and upgrade to working~~		As of February 25th, 2026, things in progress for the relatively near future include:
	* ~~Twiggy~~ Mac~~, Lisa~~		* Continued SDL3 support
	* ~~More 030~~/~~040 Macs - need to figure out feasibility of PMUv4 (68HC05) emulation~~		* 68k Mac ASC and pseudo-VIA improvements using Doug Brown's ASCTester
	* ~~Emulate key repeat on Apple~~ /~~// (similar~~ to ~~//e, same h/w designers, go figure)~~		* Akai S2000/3000: fix clipping/static noise in sample playback and add flash ROM option card
	* Figure out ~~Ensoniq 16-bit crash (EPS OS, VFX SD/SD-1 sequencer)~~		* Akai MPC2000XL/MPC3000: fix SCSI. Add Zip drive and flash ROM option card to 2000XL
	* ~~Emulate 3rd-generation Ensoniqs~~ (~~ASR-10, MR-Rack, KT-76~~)
	* ~~ARM DRC~~		A little farther out:
	* AICA needs better envelope handling. ~~Shenmue DSF rips need filters~~		* PowerPC: Obtain RISU testing data, and add an interpreter (should help both PowerMacs and e.g. Sega Model 3)
	* Cycle-by-cycle WDC65816, integrating M377xx and Nintendo variants		* Get the preliminary Quadra AV driver and associated devices into mainline. Real support will involve a DSP3210 core. The opcodes are largely the same as the DSP32 we already emulate but the binary encoding is different for no particular reason

	* Rework OpenGL backend:
	** Need to use a pixel shader to do YUV to RGB conversion or else laserdisc games will suck mightily on modern video cards (which no longer have dedicated conversion hardware)
	** Render to texture first so user shader can still be used for final blit? (And how bad will this break fglrx and Apple drivers?)
