* [[Angelo Salese]] added Kusayakyu improvements:
** Fixed color prom hook-up, tilemap color offsets and tilemap flipping.
** Fixed sound and tweaked the frequencies in the driver.

* [[Tafoid]] hooked up cocktail (P2) fire button in Tron so that it can be used in-game and in test mode.

* [[Fabio Priuli]] added driver data struct and save states to:
** gberet.c, ddrible.c, gaelco.c, trackfld.c, hyperspt.c, yiear.c
** hnayayoi.c, hanaawas.c, higemaru.c, himesiki.c and sonson.c

** glass.c & homedata.c
** fromance.c, fromanc2.c, ikki.c, imolagp.c, inufuku.c
** jack.c
** jangou.c, jantotsu.c, jollyjgr.c and jongkyo.c
** kangaroo.c, karnov.c, kchamp.c, kickgoal.c, kingobox.c, kncljoe.c, koikoi.c, kopunch.c, ksayakyu.c and kyugo.c
** ladybug.c, ladyfrog.c, lastduel.c, lwings.c, redclash.c and yunsung8.c
** laserbas.c, laserbat.c, lastfght.c, lazercmd.c and lemmings.c

* [[Fabio Priuli]] added driver data struct to:
** galivan.c, jailbrek.c, sbasketb.c
** alpha68k.c, amspdwy.c, gng.c, gunsmoke.c, hotblock.c
** aerofgt.c and gyruss.c
** hyprduel.c
** pipedrm.c
** ironhors.c
** jackal.c
** lasso.c

* [[Curt Coder]] changed CDP1869 PAL/NTSC signal to use devcb.

* [[Atari Ace]] converted cabal, mappy, toypop and zaxxon to use driver_data structure.

* [[Robbbert]] fixed CP1610 disassembler.

* [[Angelo Salese]] and [[David Haywood]] added Cool Riders improvements:
** Fixed regression.
** Hooked up what it looks like a ROM->to->VRAM transfer...
** Slightly improved booting.
** Some hooks to allow FBI logo drawing.
** Basic DMA hooked up.
** Fixed program ROM memory map loading as per the service mode item.
** Allow it to draw RAM-based chars, starts to show correct gfxs.
** Fixed paletteram and implemented basic inputs.
** Implemented DMA vram transfers.
** Added Guru readme.
** Hooked up videoram reading in drawing functions.
** Some hook-ups for the text blitter.

* [[Angelo Salese]] fixed colors in Wink.

* [[Lord Nightmare]] mostly resolved mix of intel and motorola notation in tms32025 disassembler.

* [[Lord Nightmare]] fixed cosmica2 romset rom split and names to match romset as described in mameinfo, which it matches (except for one rom which mameinfo is probably wrong about). The romset uses a different rom daughterboard to the other cosmica romsets, and different sized roms.

* [[Fabio Priuli]] added shared driver data struct to 40love.c, bking.c, buggychl.c and msisaac.c (they use the same mcu emulation).

* [[David Haywood]] added preliminary HNG64 additive tilemap blending.

* [[Atari Ace]] fixed srcclean handling of embedded comments within strings.

* [[Kevin Eshbach]] provided PCB documentation updates:
** Added the board xtal's for Battlantis, Contra and Pandora's Palace.
** Corrected the MCU dump for Pandora's Palace.
** Added indication of an undumped PAL for Contra/Gryzor.
** Added PAL dumps for Cruis'n USA - rev L4.1.
** Added information on the PROM from the 2 Board version of Congo Bongo.

* [[Roberto Fresca]] added Noraut Poker driver improvements:
** Added new technical notes.
** Added Kimble Z80 hardware support.
** Added Prologic-Noraut hardware support.
** Added proper discrete sound support to Kimble games and Prologic-Noraut Joker Poker.
** Slightly adjusted the visual area. This can be wrong and must be rechecked.
** Relocated the hardware notes and layouts to ROM_LOAD section, so can be seen/maintained in a cleaner way.
** Fixed the default lamps state.

* [[Atari Ace]] cleaned-up several drivers; added missing prototypes and removed dead ones, marked non-exported functions as static and removed cases of include "deprecat.h".

* [[Angelo Salese]] implemented player 2 inputs for Aleck 64.

* [[Roberto Fresca]] added a PCB layout for M.Kramer's Black Jack Poker, based on a hi-res pic. Also added undumped devices as NO_DUMP.

* [[Fabio Priuli]] added common driver data struct to timeplt.c, tutankhm.c, junofrst.c, pooyan.c, rallyx.c and rocnrope.c (these drivers all use audio/timeplt.c). As a side effect, we now have save states in junofrst.c and rallyx.c.

* [[Aaron Giles]] converted atari drivers over to using driver_data for the most part. Some shared systems still exist with globals, but this tackles the atarigen module and the variables local to each driver.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added validity check that AM_BASE_MEMBER and AM_SIZE_MEMBER items point within the bounds of the driver_data structure.

* [[Tim Schuerewegen]] fixed DMADAC wrapping behavior.

* [[David Haywood]] added Driver Configuration to astrof.c to emulate common wire hack which causes black background.

* [[Angelo Salese]] worked around hard-locks at start-up for Aleck 64.

* [[David Haywood]] identified Semicom's Dream World hardware as a copy of Psikyo's 68020 hardware (it was already known that their older platforms were copied from Snow Bros, and Tumble Pop).

* [[Barry Rodewald]] provided i386 core improvements:
** Fixed EIP displacement when executing FPU instructions with no 80387 present.
** Added 32-bit implementations of SLDT and STR.

* [[Fabio Priuli]] converted Kaneko Pandora sprite chip to be a MAME device and updated drivers accordingly.

* [[Aaron Giles]] added tilemap_create_device() function which lets you create a tilemap from within a device, and be passed that device in your callback.

* [[Fabio Priuli]] converted Signetics 2636 video chip to be a MAME device and updated drivers using it accordingly.

* [[Aaron Giles]] provided memory system changes:
** Memory banks are now referenced by tag rather than index. Changed all memory_bank_* functions to specify a tag. Bulk-converted existing banks to be tagged "bank##" in order to ensure consistency. However, going forward, the tags don't matter, so please name them something useful.
** Added AM_BANK_READ/AM_BANK_WRITE macros to let you specify bank tags. Also changed AM_ROMBANK and AM_RAMBANK macros to accept tags as well.
** Added new functions memory_install_read_bank_handler and memory_install_write_bank_handler to install banks by tag name, similar to input ports.
** Changed internals of memory system to dynamically allocate all banks. The first time a bank with an unknown tag is installed, a new bank object is created and tracked internally.
** Removed SMH_* macros entirely. In their place are a series of expanded macros and new memory installation helpers. Some mappings below (not all are new):
*** AM_READ(SMH_RAM) -> AM_READONLY
*** AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM) -> AM_WRITEONLY
*** AM_READWRITE(SMH_RAM, SMH_RAM) -> AM_RAM
*** AM_READ(rhandler) AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM) -> AM_RAM_READ(rhandler)
*** AM_READ(SMH_RAM) AM_WRITE(whandler) -> AM_RAM_WRITE(whandler)
*** AM_DEVREAD(tag, rhandler) AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM) -> AM_RAM_DEVREAD(tag, rhandler)
*** AM_READ(SMH_RAM) AM_DEVWRITE(tag, whandler) -> AM_RAM_DEVWRITE(tag, whandler)
*** AM_READ(SMH_ROM) -> AM_ROM
*** AM_WRITE(SMH_ROM) -> (was a no-op)
*** AM_READ(SMH_NOP) -> AM_READNOP
*** AM_WRITE(SMH_NOP) -> AM_WRITENOP
*** AM_READWRITE(SMH_NOP, SMH_NOP) -> AM_NOP
** For dynamic memory handler installation of the various types, use the new functions:
*** memory_unmap_read()
*** memory_unmap_write()
*** memory_unmap_readwrite() -- unmaps a section of address space
*** memory_nop_read()
*** memory_nop_write()
*** memory_nop_readwrite() -- nops a section of address space
** Cleaned up the internals of the address_map_entry structure, and also normalized the way the address map macros work to remove a lot of redundancy.
** Renamed functions: memory_install_read/write_port_handler to memory_install_read/write_port.
** Memory shares are now specified by tag instead of index. The AM_SHARE() macro now takes a tag parameter. All existing shares have been bulk renamed to "share##". However, the name does not matter, so please use descriptive tags going forward.
** Added tag validation for bank and share tags.
** Added flag to tagmap_add functions that optionally will replace existing objects if a duplicate is found.
** Internal code shuffling. Address maps initialized internally now call the same installation handlers that drivers do for dynamic installation. Cleaned up some parameter ordering and error detection.
** Added new functions:
*** memory_install_ram() to assign a un-named bank to a region and specify a pointer to where the RAM lives. If this is called in the DRIVER_INIT function or MACHINE/SOUND/VIDEO_START functions, then it is permissible to specify NULL, in which case the memory system will allocate memory and register it for save states.
*** memory_install_rom() is like the above except that it only installs a read handler.
*** memory_install_writeonly() is like the above except that it only installs a write handler.
** Updated several instances in the code that were assigning banks to these sorts of static RAM regions and simplified the code.
** Apply mirrors and global masks at address map detokenizing time rather than later.
