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

* [[stephh]] removed unneeded UI keys by removing the constants. Readded UI_ON_SCREEN_DISPLAY to be changed again in the "Inputs" menu.

* [[stephh]] added missing support of normal joystick for player 2 in 'gwarb'.

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed a number of regressions due to recent 68000 IRQ changes.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added new functions for building device-relative tags. Changed machine configuration builder to use these functions. Also changed the laserdisc player devices to use them. Updated Z80 CTC/SIO code to assume that the CPU provided for the clock is relative to the device that the CTC/SIO belong to. Updated memory code to assume that regions and devices referenced by the memory map are relative to the device the associated CPU belongs to.

* [[JohnBoy]] cleaned up neogeo driver (still in progress):
** Sorted OEM / Bootleg sets.
** Renamed roms on non OEM / Bootleg sets to ONE naming scheme.
** Renamed functions.
** Added some comments.

* [[Aaron Giles]] and [[Olivier Galibert]] cleaned up the System 24 driver:
** Correct memory map for both CPUs.
** Reduced RAM size to 256k.
** Correct video timings.
** Renamed regions.
** Proper interrupt handling.
** Fixed dcclub magic latch.

* [[stephh]] checked, via Z80 code analysis, inputs and Dip Switches for the following games in snk.c driver:
** ikari, ikaria, ikarinc, ikarijp, ikarijpb
** victroad, dogosoke, dogosokb
** bermudat, bermudaj
** worldwar, bermudaa
** psychos, psychosj

* [[Aaron Giles]] and [[Warren Ondras]] added correct overlay positioning, font, and behavior to PR-8210 emulation.

* [[Andreas Naive]] and [[Tomasz Slanina]] improved Sonic Blast Man 2 Special Turbo (SNES bootleg):
** Added rom decryption.
** Patched protection checks.
** Mapped extra inputs.

* [[Grull Osgo]] fixed timers in i8051 core.

* [[Grull Osgo]] fixed the i8051 AJMP opcode to take 2 bytes instead of 3.

* [[Roberto Fresca]] improved the button-lamps layout to all games in ampoker2.c driver. Now buttons are more realistic. Also improved the Lucky 74 button-lamps layout to be more realistic.

* [[Grull Osgo]] and [[Roberto Fresca]] improved the InterFlip / Recreativos Franco driver:
** Added Baby Poker Game.
** Added sound support to Baby Poker Game.
** Reworked the color routines.
** Added Baby Dado Game.
** Added new color routines for Baby Games.
** Redumped the videocba color PROM.
** Added color switch. (It changes background color in some games).
** Added "hopper full" switch support (for diverter function).
** Added diverter function decoder.
** Added full functional mechanical counters decoding.
** Added 7 Segment decoder and 7 Digit Counter functions.
** Added button-lamps layout & mechanical counters simulation on layout. Mechanical counters to layout: Coin-In, Coin-Out and Coin to Drop.
** Added NVRAM support to mechanical counters.
** Mapped "Hand Pay" button for Baby Games.
** Added decoder to Jackpot mechanical counter.
** Added tower lamps to Baby Games layouts.
** Reworked layouts for Baby Games.

* [[Angelo Salese]] fixed old regression bug in Sengoku Mahjong that made the controls not work when the V30 CPU core was converted to 16-bit. Specifically, the game accesses the multiplexer with a word write instead of a byte write.

* [[stephh]] checked, via Z80 code analysis, inputs and Dip Switches for the following games in snk.c driver:
** gwar, gwarj, gwara, gwarb
** chopper, choppera, chopperb, legofair
** tdfever, tdfeverj, tdfever2
** fsoccer, fsoccerj, fsoccerb

* [[couriersud]] improved MCU protection for lohtb2 (m72.c):
** Hooked up 6751.
** Synchronized protection ram writes with timer callbacks.
** Removed speed hack from NEC CPU emulation, which breaks the protection code.

* [[Tomasz Slanina]] fixed problem with OAM address reset at start of vblank in snes.c.

* [[Aaron Giles]] made the Z80 daisy chain aware of referencing device-specific devices.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added preliminary LD-V1000 emulation. Not fully working yet, but mostly there.

* [[Aaron Giles]] cleaned up and normalized the three existing laserdisc emulations. Removed obsolete code from the laserdisc core.

* [[Aaron Giles]] optimized st0016 RAM tile behavior to lazy decode the graphics, giving a big speed boost to some of the mahjong games.

* [[Franklin Bowen]] Added the P10/11 dip switch (only 4 switches instead of the standard 8) to Space Duel.

* [[Roberto Fresca]] improved Sandii' games (snookr10, apple10 & tenballs):
** Reworked the button-lamps matrix system.
** Documented both output ports.
** Connected coin in, key in and payout counters.
** Improved the lamps layout to be more realistic.
** Updated technical notes.

* [[Christophe Jaillet]] added a minor optimization to the Neo-Geo sprite clearing code.

* [[Fabio Priuli]] and [[byuu]] added emulation for snes special chips DSP-2 & OBC-1:
** Added sources snesdsp2.c & snesobc1.c.
** Removed special chips detection from MAME.
** Modified memory handlers to account for the new chips.
