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

* [[Nathan Woods]] fixed compilation errors if HAS_SAMPLES is 0.

* [[Phil Bennett]] stopped crash/assert when trying to decrease the debugger memory window bytes per line to 0.

* [[Wilbert Pol]] improved implementations for undocumented instructions 63, 67, 6f, 73, 77, 7b, 7f, 9c, 9e, ab, e3, e7, ef, f3, f7, fb, and ff in the n2a3 cpu core.

* [[Wilbert Pol]] forced recalculation of screen parameters when only the MC6845 input clock changes.

* [[Angelo Salese]] provided part 1 of an update to the Seibu CRTC:
** Merged Sengoku Mahjong & Good e Jong video HWs.
** Added correct scrolling functions for Sengoku Mahjong.
** Removed some positioning kludges in both drivers.

* [[Angelo Salese]] fixed Sengoku Mahjong hopper error after first winning match.
* [[Angelo Salese]] removed deprecat dependancy from Good e Jong, one irq wasn't needed at all (points to a reti).

* [[Wilbert Pol]] fixed cpu reset for upd78c06.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added new #define ENDIANNESS_NATIVE, which maps to either ENDIANNESS_LITTLE or ENDIANNESS_BIG based on the LSB_FIRST definition. Unlink LSB_FIRST, ENDIANNESS_NATIVE always exists and can be used in expressions without invoking the preprocessor.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added macro ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE() which selects one of two values based on the endianness passed in. Also added NATIVE_ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE() which calls ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE with ENDIANNESS_NATIVE.

* [[Aaron Giles]] updated a number of drivers and call sites to use these macros in favor of #ifdef LSB_FIRST.

* [[Aaron Giles]] removed some stray ADDR2BYTE/BYTE2ADDR macros that have been replaced by inline functions.

* [[Aaron Giles]] update all DRC cores to do their own opcode fetching. Also tweaked a few oddities in the SH2 DRC.

* [[Jim Stolis]] provided drw80pkr changes:
** Added bankswitching to program memory.
** Partial graphics support.
** Partial sound support.

* [[Angelo Salese]] provided a preliminary ADPCM hook-up to Jantotsu, it plays something but it's not yet right.

* [[Aaron Giles]] removed redundant config parameter from SND_START.

* [[Angelo Salese]] fixed gfx regression with 18 Holes Pro Golf and added proper memory map for the second cpu.

* [[Aaron Giles]] made sound cores no longer allocate their own tokens. Instead they return a new integer value indicating the size of token they want, and the core allocates it for them. This mirrors the standard device behavior.

* [[tsBTN0640]] provided a SRMP5 update:
** Sound pitch is low with current st0016 driver.

* [[a3SEybxT0]] fixed Perfect Soldiers input (added missing button3).

* [[swzp1Dp/0]] added missing key for sfiiij and sfiii2j.

* [[Phil Bennett]] tidied up the micro3d driver and fixed sound.

* [[Phil Bennett]] increased Cloak & Dagger interleave quantum to eliminate 'SLAVE COM BAD' startup message.

* [[Mirko Buffoni]] provided a major cleanup to IGS poker games:
** Renamed csk driver to igspoker. This includes Champion Poker, Champion Skill, New Champion Skill.
** Converted drivers to tilemap system and unified video section.
** Unified memory maps and checked all input ports.
** Removed obsolete palette handlers and made use of generic handlers.
** Added layout for lamps handling.
** Added hopper simulation.
** Added New Champion Skill (different set, maybe original international release) and renamed current igs_ncs to igs_ncs2 (2000 version for italian market).
** Promoted igs_ncs2 to working state, but set GAME_IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS (missing initial notice screen).
** Moved Jackie to a separate driver (it's a slot machine game).
** Made some progress on Jackie which now boots (toggle mode to play, but work still needs to be done).

* [[Phil Bennett]] provided a Virtual Combat and Shadow Fighters update:
** Fixed framebuffer handling & screen parameters.
** Added sound.
** Corrected RAM sizes to match what is present on the PCBs.
** Hooked up NVRAM.

* [[Mirko Buffoni]] fixed clamping to 12 bit range to Okim6376, and adjusted volume attenuation accordingly.

* [[Phil Bennett]] and [[Jay Gallagher]] fixed TMS5220 speech in Turbo Sub.

* [[robiza]] provided adp improvements:
** Implemented p1 inputs in skattv and fashiong (service mode is working).

* [[Phil Bennett]] fefined ROM_LOAD64_WORD/ROM_LOAD64_WORD_SWAP in emu/romload.h.

* [[robiza]] updated the cb2001 driver: mapped two more opcodes.

* [[4oj9/xJ+0]] fixed Soul Calibur (vs. Inferno).

* [[Naibo Zhang]] added custom 3-screen layout to Stepping Stage driver.

* [[Corrado Tomaselli]] changed yunsung8 oki xtal to 400khz, verified on pcb. Unfortunately he couldn't verify the main xtal which was missing on his pcb.

* [[Mamesick]] restored previous cycle eating behavior in gstream.

* [[Olivier Galibert]] changed device start routines to no longer return a status. Instead, if a device needs to delay its initialization pending the startup of another device, it must call the new function device_delay_init().
