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

* [[Mr. Do!]] added built-in layouts for a large number of games: 280zzzap, buggyboy, buggychl, cbombers, changela, chasehq, chqflag, contcirc, dblaxle, finallap, grchamp, hotchase, lagunar, outrun, overdriv, pdrift, polepos, radr, roundup5, sci, slipstrm, stocker, superchs, topspeed, toutrun, turbotag, tx1, wecleman.

* [[Aaron Giles]] merged memory maps in nemesis.c.

* [[couriersud]] made scramble a lot closer to reports and recordings (background sound, sound of bullets).

* [[Yasuhiro Ogawa]] fixed descriptions of the games running on NAOMI series hardware and NAOMI game list.

* [[Angelo Salese]] provided an input ports clean-up for the jangou driver.

* [[couriersud]] finally added low pass filtering on channel 2A in btime driver:
** Changed resistor to bill of material value.
** Adjusted volume level and added more documentation.

* [[couriersud]] fixed regression (missing graphics) in ipminvad (m10).

* [[Olivier Galibert]] added support for System 24 tilemap linescroll modes.

* [[Angelo Salese]], [[Tomasz Slanina]] and [[David Haywood]] provided various improvements to Heavy Unit:
** Added a VERY preliminary simulation of the protection, just enough to get the game to boot, not make it playable.
** Corrected CPU communication, IRQ/NMI generation etc.
** Fixed some video emulation issues (added tilemap scroll etc.).
** Corrected GFX rom loading (at least for the graphics used in attract mode).

* [[Stefan Lindberg]] and [[Angelo Salese]] fixed King Derby sprite colors.

* [[Aaron Giles]] merged tetrisp2 memory maps. Renamed teplus2->tetrisp2j.

* [[Phil Bennett]] merged labyrunr memory maps.

* [[couriersud]] added GAME_IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS to Tutankham & clones.

* [[David Haywood]] hooked up layer enables in goldstar.c driver, fixes 'girl' in Cherry Master.

* [[Phil Bennett]] scaled up renegade and mjkjidai ADPCM levels in line with recent clock_adpcm() change.

* [[Aaron Giles]] converted all drivers to the new device-based 6821 PIA.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added new function memory_install_read_port_handler() to more easily allow you to install read handlers for ports based on tag.

* [[Aaron Giles]] removed input_port_read_handler8/16/32/64 functions, since they were really only used for getting a memory handler for a port by tag, and this is no longer necessary.

* [[Aaron Giles]] moved input port handlers to internal code in the memory system.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added port names to the taito8741 device pending its proper devicification.

* [[Aaron Giles]] removed all remaining uses of input_port_n_r() functions, and purged them from src/emu/machine/generic.

* [[Aaron Giles]] removed device types from device queries that use tags, under the assumption that all device tags are unique. Specifically, the following no longer need to provide a device type:
** AM_DEVREAD/WRITE
** DEVCB_DEVICE_HANDLER
** devtag_get_device
** devtag_reset
** device_list_find_by_tag
** as well as several device interfaces that referenced other devices.

* [[Aaron Giles]] moved SH2 set info functions to direct calls.

* [[Angelo Salese]] provided various improvements to the Zero Target / Counter Steer HW and cleaned-up the driver. Fixed foreground & background colors and hand-tuned sound in Zero Target based on a side-by-side test. Fixed sprite colors.

* [[Phil Bennett]] fixed pedals in Final Lap 3.

* [[Phil Bennett]] hooked up correct C75 MCU in namcofl.c (based on RB's namconb1.c implementation).

* [[Yasuhiro Ogawa]] and [[Angelo Salese]] corrected Dip-Switch settings for Zero Target.

* [[Olivier Galibert]] updated maketms: Free strings on exit.

* [[Olivier Galibert]] updated the tms57002 core - don't abort on unimplemented instructions.

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] changed eeprom erase command to write 0xff values.

* [[couriersud]] fixed handling of corrupt archives:
** Corrupt files in archives now generate an error.
** Archive files ending in "/" will not be tested for crc - skip path entries.
** Added new flag FILE_OPEN_NO_PRELOAD to skip decompressing on open. This is used in audit.c, which only tests whether files exist.
** Added error checking to all calls to load_file_zipped.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added flags to the CHD metadata entries, encoded in the top bit. Right now it is a no-op, but eventually will be used to indicate which bits of metadata are included in the overall checksum.

* [[Belegdol]] fixed gcc 4.4 compilation error.

* [[Rene Reucher]] fixed auditing of ROM-less systems (for MESS).

* [[Atari Ace]] provided another round of static/const qualifier additions, plus a rename of has_addon_chip to snes_has_addon_chip. Notably a number of z80ctc_interface are now const (devicification must have removed the cases where it was dynamically modified).

* [[David Haywood]] added the correct gfx roms to jjsquawkers bootleg.

* [[David Haywood]] provided part 1 of sfbonus version cleanups.
