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

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] fixed PIA numbers in the revamped Spiders driver.

* [[Wilbert Pol]] updated TIA graphics with code from the MESS repository. Also updated the Tournament Table driver to accommodate the changes.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] fixed Space Firebird so that the sprites are opaque with respect to each other and bullets, but transparent with respect to the star field.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] fixed subtle behavior in handling of PIA port A. This allows for the removal of hacks in the Qix driver and the Williams driver.

* [[Atari Ace]] cleaned up the tilemap get_info callbacks:
** regularized and clean up the existing callbacks
** changed some callbacks to use int tile_index as the parameter so that all callbacks use consistent naming
** folded some direct uses of tile_info.flags into calls to SET_TILE_INFO()
** changed the Konami drivers to manipulate the tile_info global only within the tile_get_info callbacks
** replaced all the callback declarations with TILE_GET_INFO() wrappers
** changed the interface to pass tile_info as a parameter and made tile_info a static variable only accessible inside tilemap.c.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] made significant changes to the berzerk driver:
** Video timings, memory map and interrupt system implemented from the schematics
** Hooked up colors according to the schematics as well. The colors changed significantly. For example the yellow robots are now more like a mustard color.

* [[R. Belmont]] made more changes to the ARM core:
** Fixed error in carry propagation on ALU opcodes of the form ALU r1, r2, r3 SHIFTEROP #imm
** Fixed Thumb ADD instructions where the PC is involved
** Fixed LDMIA to mask off bits 0 and 1 of the destination address
** MSR instruction now properly respects processor mode and field code flags

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] modernized the Beam Invaders, Clay Shoot, and Embargo drivers.

* [[Corrado Tomaselli]] changed the sound balance in Thunder Dragon 2 to match the original PCB. Also verified the 68000 clock.

* [[Robiza]] fixed several more opcodes in the encrypted Irem CPU.

* [[Phil Skuse]] fixed the disassembly of brset and brclr opcodes in the 68HC11 core.

* [[Ville Linde]] fixed the tilemap colors in the Konami ZR107 driver.

* [[allentown_john]] fixed a bug with the INR/DCR opcodes in the 8085 CPU core.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] updated the PIA interfaces to support masks for port A/B inputs. This allows proper behavior of unconnected pins, according to the specs. Updated a number of games to use the new interfaces.

* [[Ernesto Corvi]] and [[Zsolt Vasvari]] fixed a bug that failed to initialize all IRQ states in the 6809 core on a reset. Also fixed cycle timing and removed obsolete code from the core.

* [[Nathan Woods]] cleaned up the vec_mult implementation.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] improved the toratora driver:
** added SN76477 from the schematics, but it sounds terrible; no doubt the schematics are incorrect in many places
** updated to the recent PIA changes

* [[Nathan Woods]] fixed input.c to use osd_ticks() instead of clock().

* [[Pete Rittwage]] fixed the bit calculation in 6526cia.c which broke joysticks in the C64 driver in MESS.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] made improvements to the rd2tank driver:
** fixed colors, based on the Red Tank flyer
** added AY8910's, sounds fine, but how exactly they are hooked up to the PIA is not fully understood.
** hooked up CRTC properly
