* [[Andrew Gardner]]
* [[Atari Ace]]
* [[David Haywood]]
* [[El Condor]]
* [[Ian Patterson]]

* [[smf]]

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

* [[Andrew Gardner]] added comments support to the debugger. You can now dynamically add comments that are visible next to the disassembly view. Comments are saved to an XML-based .cmt file in a 'comments' directory by default upon exiting.

* [[Nathan Woods]] added "wb+" disposition to osd_tool_fopen.

* [[Ian Patterson]] fixed the cheat timer to fire at the correct rate. Also fixed initialization order to work around dependency on the video/UI system.

* [[Adam Bousley]] added save states to 3 more drivers: arkanoid.c, system1.c, and taitosj.c, and to the SN76496 sound chip for system1.

* [[Lawrence Gold]] fixed a couple of small memory leaks and a crash bug found by valgrind.

* [[Nathan Woods]] added save state support to the tetrisp2 driver.

* [[Adam Bousley]] added save state support to Cloak and Dagger, Mario Bros, Crazy Baloon, and the SN76477 sound chip.

* [[R. Belmont]] hooked up the R4650 properly in the MIPS recompiler.

* [[R. Belmont]] made more Namco System 23 progress:
** Further hardware work
** Hooked up H8/3002 MCU and sound system
** Many notes added
** Final Furlong 2 (World and Japan sets) added

* [[Nathan Woods]] added sanity checking to the set_visible_area() call to ensure it is not set larger than the screen bitmap.

* [[smf]] added decryption of the BIOS for the Namco System 10 games using MEMN ROM boards.

* [[El Condor]] changed the ROM banking of the Bellfruit 'Adder' card to the new standard, as well as tidying up the MPU4 emulation with some new information.

* [[Olivier Galibert]] made a bit more progress on Raiden 2 sprite decryption.

* [[Adam Bousley]] added save states to Namco Classics Collection 1 & 2, Taito B System, and fixed save states in Operation Wolf.

* [[Aaron Giles]] made the following debugger changes/updates:
** added new streaming text buffer system
** rewrote the console window to use the streaming text buffer
** added new log window (Ctrl+L) which displays live error.log output
** added disassembly view menu to control comments versus raw or encrypted opcodes
** added disassembly menu to the main console window as well
** now detect expressions with assignment or ++/-- operators as commands, do you can just say "pc=0" to modify registers instead of needing to type "do pc=0"
** fixed bug that would sometimes lock the disassembly view to the top line

* [[Aaron Giles]] and [[Atari Ace]] did more global system cleanup:
** remapped osd_die to fatalerror, which cleans up behind itself and returns to the osd code by returning from run_game
** removed a number of unnecessary includes from driver.h
** moved logerror into the core
** moved 68000-specific build rules to cpu.mak
** new function skip_this_frame, should be called by drivers instead of osd_skip_this_frame
** removed includes of osdepend.h and osd_cpu.h from drivers; only the core should include these

* [[Aaron Giles]] did more initialization/reset/pause cleanup:
** new function add_pause_callback can be called by other modules to register a callback for whenever MAME is paused/resumed
** converted all existing pause hooks to use the new system
** new function add_reset_callback can be called by other modules to register a callback for whenever MAME is reset
** converted all existing reset hooks to use the new system
** removed machine_reset; replaced with mame_schedule_soft_reset
** new function mame_schedule_exit to force an exit cleanly from external events
** removed all the "trying_to_quit" crap from the Windows code
** moved save/restore system out of cpuexec.c into mame.c
** moved core game loop out of cpuexec.c into mame.c
** added hard reset support (complete tear down and re-init)

* [[Aaron Giles]] shuffled some more core files:
** split sndintrf.c into sound.c, sndintrf.c, and sndhrdw/generic.c
** added #include vidhrdw/generic.h to mamecore.h, and removed all explicit includes elsewhere

* [[Aaron Giles]] added save state support to the BSMT2000 sound emulator and the dcheese driver.

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed missing save state data in the dkong driver.

* [[Aaron Giles]] updated the 68000 disassembler to use the new interfaces.
