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

* [[Aaron Giles]] corrected btoads clocks according XTALs on the PCB.

* [[Nicola Salmoria]] "simplified" the MC8123 decryption, though it's still more complicated than he'd like it to be.

* [[Aaron Giles]] cleaned up clocks in the itech32 driver.

* [[Nicola Salmoria]] added a partial key for FD1089B 317-0037.

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] fixed bking3 clocks as per Guru readme. Added GAME_WRONG_COLORS flag to bking3.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added TMS34020 fixes:
** Allowed 32-bit pixel sizes
** Fixed RPIX instruction

* [[Aaron Giles]] added a new function input_poll_keyboard_switches to poll for only key events. Expanded the size of the maximum simultaneously pressed switches.

* [[Philip Bennett]] removed GAME_IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS from all jpmimpct games bar Cluedo (see driver note).

* [[couriersud]] made mario driver improvements:
** Hooked up flipscreen
** Changed monitor orientation to ROT0

* [[couriersud]] added Z80 DMA chip
** only implements intelligence to emulate dkong3
** fixed a misleading comment in 8257dma.h

* [[couriersud]] made dkong driver improvements:
** hooked up z80dma
** removed 2nd player inputs from sdbk input_ports
** fixed some dump "copy/paste" bugs in dip locations

* [[Brian Troha]] added redumped Turkey USA to the seta2.c driver.

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] fixed bad ram pages errors in stactics service mode.

* [[Aaron Giles]] made Atari updates:
** Added save state support to slapstic.
** Added save state support to YM2413.
** Modified slapstic code to support address range mirrors.
** Cleaned up Rampart driver:
*** simplified rendering code
*** full memory map
*** added save state support

* [[kingshriek]] implemented decent-sounding FM in the SCSP.

* [[R. Belmont]], [[Samuele Zannoli]], and [[ElSemi]] updated the Naomi driver, now boots and shows some test menus (press F2 to get into test, use 9 to navigate). Also hooked up ROM board PIO and skeleton for DMA.

* [[SGINut]] made N64 improvements:
** Move texture masking to occur after coordinate adjustment
** Fix 32-bit texturing in load_tile (Mario Kart 64 title screen)
** Add zero-alpha early-out (Mario 64 trees/stars, Mario Kart 64 trees/karts)

* [[couriersud]] made ad2083 improvements:
** completed tms5110A code
** working speech synthesis
** documented analysis done on pcb pictures and findings
** as a consequence, marked all sound roms as BAD DUMP
** created sound driver in scramble.c

* [[Atari Ace]] cleaned up graphics layouts in preparation for a new format. Added new GFXLAYOUT_RAW() macro to normalize definition. Added new validation code. Made all remaining instances of gfx_layouts const.

* [[Dirk Best]] updated the Amiga driver to use formal XTALs.

* [[Wilbert Pol]] changed the 6522 emulation such that when writing to the ACR register with the timer 1 in continuous counting mode, the timer 1 value should not be reloaded but keep on counting.

* [[James Wallace]] added XTAL defines to bfm_sc2.c and cleaned up lvcards.c.

* [[David Haywood]] and [[Aaron Giles]] added a default layout to neogeo games allowing for either cropping or stretching to the alternate 304x224 layout. Removed default cropping in the driver.

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed a crash when saving state of older DCS-based games. Added save state support to the midvunit driver.

* [[Bryan McPhail]] made major improvements in the Cycle Warriors video code (still not perfect, but road layer works now).

* [[couriersud]] completed a major rewrite of skychut.c. There are still some glitches and it is not perfect but the following has been achieved:
** adds samples to ipm invaders - just rename your old invaders samples to ipminvad to test
** added - amongst others - "capsule" dip switch to ipm invaders
** sound ports identified
** demo sound and cabinet type driver configuration

* [[Jim Stolis]] updated the memory configuration for Superboard game versions in peplus driver. Fixes CMOS DATA errors on reload.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] rewrote the CVS system video code.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] fixed the S2650 register window display.

* [[Philip Bennett]] added sound to Cycle Warriors and Big Fight. Corrected OKI M6295 clock values.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] fixed missing arrow in Venture on the zoomed out map, and the incorrect fading twister in Hard Hat.
