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

* [[Lord Nightmare]] changed the system1 driver back to using SN7489A.

* [[Adam Bousley]] fixed the road graphics, fixed the rest of the missing gfx, added collision detection, and added save states to the changela driver. Also fixed the colors.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] changed all drivers to use the mame_timer_* calls. Deprecated the old double-based timer calls.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] made changes the last few instances of rand() to mame_rand() and added a #define to prevent it from being used again.

* [[Dave Dribin]] made many of the static info_list*() functions in clifront.c public.

* [[Atari Ace]] fixed regression crashes in maxaflex.c, megadriv.c, monzagp.c, tetriunk.c, and gticlub.c.

* [[Wilbert Pol]] made some more TIA graphics and sound improvements:
** INPT4 and INPT5 are now read when needed instead of by a timed function. This removes the need for the tia_init_pal function.
** Improved handling of the HMOVE functionality
** Added code to reduce the flickering caused by some Atari 2600 games
** Improved the sound poly generation.
** Improved the handling of POLY5_DIV3 sound mode.

* [[Phil Stroffolino]] updated the djboy driver:
** support for djboyj; same MCU, but ROM banking bits need to be XOR'd
** fixed state handling for game over/win transitions
** fixes for dipswitches
** added coinage support

* [[Atari Ace]] fixed a few places where driver code was not properly hooked up. Most cases were benign, but in a couple of instances, save state support was disconnected, and in one case it fixes a potential crash.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] fixed a regression in Space Raider.

* [[couriersud]] improved the frameskip behavior in the Gaelco 3d driver.

* [[Atari Ace]] fixed a palette regression in warpwarp/geebee.

* [[smf]] added support to chdman to cope with toc files created with cue2toc.

* [[David Haywood]] and [[ElSemi]] made CPS3 updates:
** Corrected Clock speed, used idle skipping instead of reducing the clock speed.
** Optimized some GFX functions. It now only decodes RAM based tiles when it needs to draw them, not every single time the data changes
** Added support for CD flashing
** Added support for alternate BIOS sets
** Changed code to use a custom render function

* [[robiza]] found a number of additional encrypted opcodes for gussun.

* [[Atari Ace]] simplified the internal handling of BIOS sets. Instead of there being an extra structure, the BIOS information is now embedded in the ROM definition for each BIOS.

* [[Mike Haaland]] fixed the 2nd player inputs in Millipede.

* [[R. Belmont]] fixed a crash in evilngt due to missing CD image.

* [[R. Belmont]] fixed a crash in cfarm/cclown due to out-of-bounds parameter.

* [[R. Belmont]] added stricter checking in cdrom.c to prevent crashes in games when no CD-ROM is present.

* [[couriersud]] fixed regressions in dkongjr and pestplce due to incorrect memory map and rendering too many sprites.

* [[neoforma]] fixed SUBTARGET=tiny builds.

* [[Mike Haaland]] hooked up P1 joystick inputs for P2 in Upright mode in a number of black & white 8080 games. Removed cocktail settings for games where it is not appropriate. Enabled dual player game in spclaser.

* [[Oliver Stoneberg]] made x64 compilation fixes:
** some VS2005 x64 warning fixes
** enables the x64 porting warnings in VS2005
** adds win_create_window_ex_utf8() to get rid of some tstring_from_utf8() usage
** removed win_extract_icon_utf8()

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] improved color decoding in Irem M62 games.

* [[James Wallace]] and [[Atari Ace]] synchronized MAME and AGEMAME versions of the MPU4 code. Improved Connect4 layout. Simplified much of the code.

* [[Wilbert Pol]] improved the 6532riot timer implementation. Implemented irq callback support.

* [[Wilbert Pol]] made updates to the minx CPU core:
** Fixed TEST (94,95,96, and 97) instructions.
** Fixed 2 MOV instructions (BE and BF).
** Fixed one AND instruction (DC).

* [[Wilbert Pol]] simplified the interrupt handling in the z80gb core.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] hooked up lamps in the Afterburner 2 driver.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] fixed the missing sound in PGM games.

* [[Mike Haaland]] fixed Millipede sprites in cocktail mode.

* [[couriersud]] fixed the behavior of the RC filter in ddrible and ironhors.

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] added wrap around x for sprites in the m92 driver.
