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

* [[David Haywood]] fixed colors in loverboy.

* [[BUT]] fixed a buffer overflow in K054539.

* [[kingshriek]] made SCSP improvements:
** Added logarithmic envelope table
** Set envelope level to start at 0x17f in the ATTACK state (0x3ff-0x280) as per Neill's notes
** Changed EG_SHIFT from 8 to 16 - more precision is needed to differentiate the longer decay envelope times
** In the DECAY1-->DECAY2 transition, changed the "<=" to "<"
** Decreased the output of the effect out mixer a bit
** Fixed unaligned 16-bit samples
** Prevented keyoffs from killing slots when already in the release state
** Envelope steps in the attack state are apparently exponential. To account for this, I change the envelope output to linear for attacks.
** Change the release rate calculation to use the decay table instead of the attack one.

* [[Wilbert Pol]] fixed a uninitialized variable in h6280 core.

* [[James Wallace]] added meter support to the Cobra games. Cleaned up some of the steppers code.

* [[Atari Ace]] const-ified a number of data structures in the MAME system.

* [[Ville Linde]] added PowerPC 604 processor support. Moved PowerPC opcode tables to the CPU context to allow multiple simultaneous processors with different opcode tables.

* [[couriersud]] updated the dkong driver:
** Added configuration switch to change palette between TKG02 (radarscp conversion) and TKG04 (dkong 2board)
** Added speech support (samples) to radarsc1
** Fixed sound for drakton and strtheat
** Hooked up and written 8257 dma controller
*** All dkong and dkongjr based games now use the 8257
*** All epos and 2650 based games now use the 8257
** Fixed 2650 games to use dkong audio as well - only cpu replaced by addon board ...
** Updated game flags and added missing rom entries
** straightened memory maps
** Fixed bug in dkong3b memory map
** Externalized sound drivers to MACHINE_START in audio/dkong.c
** DAC Filter now uses lowpass sallen key filter
** Reorganized INPUT_PORTS
** Added Dip-Switch locations to 8ballact
** Fixed 8ballact according to conversion manual
** Reorganized code

* [[couriersud]] corrected a potential issue if more than one 8039/8035 is used by a driver. Also should fix a potential inconsistency between saving and loading a state.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added an assert to ensure that the sound clear latch value is only set at init time, since its value is not saved.

* [[Aaron Giles]] modified src2html to sort by filename rather than assuming that the osd file finding routines would do so.

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed a memory system regression caused by recent optimization. Fixed another bug uncovered as a result in the decrypted opcode management.

* [[Aaron Giles]] made more Zeus improvements. Converted over to 64-bit data and simplified the logic to work more like the hardware.
