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

* [[David Haywood]] added support for playback of "extended" INP files that are commonly found on compete sites.

* [[Ville Linde]] added the lswx and stswx opcodes to the PowerPC core.

* [[Atari Ace]] changed the DRIVER_INIT macro to prepend driver_init_* instead of simply init_* to be consistent with the other initialization functions.

* [[James Wallace]] corrected the pulse shape of the timer output in the MPU4 driver, and also correctly identified the AY sound chip as an AY8913.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] merged the leprechn driver into the gameplan driver and added correct video timings.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] cleaned up the dorachan driver. Replaced fake color map with actual color PROM decoding.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] cleaned up the supertnk driver.

* [[Mathias Rosenhauer]] moved the Atari vector PROMs into separate regions.

* [[Barry Harris]] and [[Yasuhiro Ogawa]] added DIP switches for Excite League.

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] improved the sprite drawing in m92.

* [[Roberto Fresca]] rewrote the magicfly driver:
** Figured out how the protection works.
** Removed the hacks/patchs that formerly allow boot the games.
** Figured out how the buffered inputs works.
** Demuxed all inputs for both games.
** Unified the memory maps from both games.
** Added NVRAM support to both games.
** Mapped DIP switches.
** Managed the planes to get the 3bpp GFX colors accurate.
** Renamed the ROMs acording to pcb pictures and ROM contents.
** Cleaned up and optimized the driver.

* [[David Haywood]] fixed the throttle range in gforce2.

* [[Nathan Woods]] moved the Win32 UTF-8 wrappers into a new module (winutf8.c), and added some new wrappers that Oliver Stoeneberg created for MAME32.

* [[Ryan Holtz]] updated the Aleck64/N64 driver:
** RSP: some opcodes bugfixed plus should work on big-endian targets
** Real PIF ROM dump now used and required
** Various other fixes

* [[couriersud]] fixed the eeprom handling in surfplnt.

* [[R. Belmont]] and [[Ryan Holtz]] fixed the carry flag calculation for SUB/SBC/CMP family instructions in the ARM core.

* [[R. Belmont]] and [[Ryan Holtz]] made improvements to the ARM7 core:
** fixed 32-bit unaligned reads to "scramble" properly
** fixed carry flag calc for SUB/SBC/CMP family instructions
** fixed multiply-and-accumulate instructions
** added more instructions to the disassembler
** fixed logical and arithmetic shifts
** added more Thumb instructions
** fixed relative loads and stores
** fixed LSL/LSR with zero shift values
** fixed the disassembly of CMN
** verified behavior when ADD destination is the PC on real h/w

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] rewrote the Space Firebird driver:
** Added star field, matches with the screen shot perfectly
** Video timings/memory map/interrupts from schematics
** Added support for the color fade effect

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] identified a couple of new opcodes in the Irem V30 CPU which improves matchit2.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] significantly cleaned up the Spiders driver.

* [[Aaron Giles]] changed the memory system behavior so that masks can be specified independently of mirrors. By default if the mask is 0 and a mirror is present, the mask is implicitly ~mirror, just as before. But if a mask is specified, it is not limited to the non-mirrored bits. This allows you to independently control the mapping versus what is returned to the read/write handler.

* [[Aaron Giles]] rewrote the Astrocade driver:
** fully implemented all function generator modes
** implemented pattern board according to schematics, including timing
** fixed interrupt handling
** added crosshairs to SeaWolf II
** added stereo sound and panning to SeaWolf II samples
** rewrote Astrocade sound emulation according to patent
** sound generation now uses proper LFSR for noise effects
** added partial support for Ten Pin Deluxe, including sound board emulation and internal layout

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed sound in Inferno after all these years. Sadly, it required a hack.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added correct video timings for the Williams games.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added support for misaligned PIXBLT operations in the TMS34010 core. The code still needs cleanup but improves the new JPM driver.
