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

* [[Angelo Salese]] and [[Fujix]] provided a fix for inverted RON / REACH buttons in kiwames.

* [[Angelo Salese]] ported PC CGA device emulation from MESS to MAME, and updated Filetto and Tetris (KR) to use it accordingly.

* [[Angelo Salese]] added proper background hook-up for Tetris KR.

* [[Angelo Salese]] added preliminary superimposing flag for CGA, and implemented for Tetris KR, now it properly mixes between CGA graphics and external Background.

* [[Angelo Salese]] added 'buzzer' sound to Filetto and Tetris KR.

* [[Team CPS-1]] provided a CPS-1 update:
** [[Corrado Tomaselli]] dumped and added MB63B.1A PAL to slammast and clones.
** Fixed mbomberj, mbombrd, mbombrdj Q-Sound ROMs labels and locations, added Q-Sound PALs.

* [[Angelo Salese]] worked around 0x3d8 VGA reading, and fixed California Chase in using the right VGA card.

* [[Angelo Salese]] hooked up a proper VGA card for Psychic Force 2012 (waiting for further info about the VGA card used).

* [[f205v]] and [[Corrado Tomaselli]] added Tourvision bios ver. 52.

* [[Angelo Salese]] fixed Atari logo bad colors at POST in Area 51:Site 4.

* [[Aaron Giles]] changed 'screen' parameter in SCREEN_UPDATE and SCREEN_EOF callbacks to a reference. Removed redundant machine parameter from SCREEN_EOF. Removed old vestiges of driver_device video_eof override since it wasn't being used. Updated all multi-screen games to use separate functions for each screen (calling into common code where appropriate).

* [[Barry Rodewald]] updated the i8251 core: Implemented transmit and receive data callbacks.

* [[Tim Schuerewegen]] updated the arm7 core: Implemented MMU permission faults.

* [[Tim Schuerewegen]] updated the arm7 core: return correct MMU ID Code register values for ARM920T/ARM7500.

* [[Tim Schuerewegen]] updated s3c24xx: lots of changes for future Happy Fish 302-in-1 and Palm Z22 (mess) drivers.

* [[R. Belmont]] updated chdman: fixed -extractcd of images with postgaps. CHDs do not need reconversion, this was an -extractcd problem only.

* [[Angelo Salese]] implemented every single documented x87 co-processor opcodes in 386+ CPU cores.

* [[Aaron Giles]] converted bitmap_t and rectangle into proper classes. Replaced BITMAP_ADDR* macros with bitmap->pix* functions, and moved bitmap_fill() to bitmap->fill() among other similar changes. Bitmap fields now only available via accessors. Replaced sect_rect with &= and union_rect with |= operators for rectangle classes. Some general cleanup as a result of these changes.

* [[Angelo Salese]] implemented generic functions for RDMSR and WRMSR opcodes in Pentium CPU core (i.e. no MSR is actually hooked up so far).

* [[Angelo Salese]] hooked up device in Savage Quest, dies at floppy error.

* [[Angelo Salese]] hooked up devices for X-Tom 3d, gets to BOOT error if you soft reset once.

* [[Enik Land]] and [[Wilbert Pol]] updated segae.c: Updated driver to use the implementation from src/emu/video/315_5124.c and modernized driver.

* [[Aaron Giles]] bulk converted cliprect * to cliprect & across the system. This makes cliprects mandatory everywhere. In general, cliprects were being correctly passed through the video side of most drivers already, so it is mostly a semantic change. Note that with my previous change, bitmaps have cliprects, so if you just want to clip to the bitmap's boundaries, pass bitmap->cliprect() instead of NULL (which is no longer permitted).

* [[R. Belmont]] updated the 68HC05 core: CLR instruction should not affect the carry flag. Verified with Freescale programmer's manual.

* [[Angelo Salese]] hooked up basic devices in Queen and Midway Quicksilver HWs.

* [[italie]], [[Mr. Do]] and [[hap]] updated mcr.c: added twotiger stereo 8-track tape sample playback.

* [[Aaron Giles]] did a bulk conversion of bitmap_t * to bitmap_t & . With this change the parameters for the global SCREEN_UPDATE callback match the parameters for the driver_device version. Added allocate() and deallocate() methods to bitmap_t to permit cleaner handling of bitmaps in drivers and modern devices.

* [[R. Belmont]] updated the m680x0 core: fix case where the MMU trashed memory.

* [[Aaron Giles]] removed machine.generic.tmpbitmap, VIDEO_START(generic_bitmapped), and SCREEN_UPDATE(generic_bitmapped). In their place, each screen_device now maintains a default bitmap which is automatically copied to the screen on each update if no SCREEN_UPDATE function is provided and if no driver_device::video_update override is present. This bitmap can be found by querying the screen's new default_bitmap() method.

* [[Angelo Salese]] hooked up devices and flash loading for Funky Ball, game currently dies at a Voodoo color DAC register check.

* [[Aaron Giles]] removed old C-based interface to astrings. astring exists only as a class now. Updated all stragglers (mostly tools) to use the class form.

* [[Curt Coder]] updated the MCS48 code: fixed I8021/I8022 clock divider.

* [[Team CPS-1]] provided a CPS-3 update:
** Dumped and added Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Euro BIOS, unlocked 2 new sets.
** Reordered all sets per release date.
** Minor fixes.

* [[Tim Schuerewegen]] updated the ARM7 core: Fixed 39-in-1 booting.

* [[hap]] updated aquarium.c: removed region hack, fixed offtune music, fixed testmode.

* [[R. Belmont]] updated chdman: don't be case sensitive on the input type extension.

* [[KO Myung-Hun]] provided OS/2 updates.

* [[kevtris]] fixed four spc700 opcodes which didn't disassemble correctly.

* [[Barry Rodewald]] updated the i386 core: Moved stack changes to be after protection checks in RETF and IRET. Made ARPL protected mode only. Added protection checks when MOVing to a segment register.

* [[Carl]] added delayed interrupts in idectrl to enable booting on some older bioses.

* [[Curt Coder]] updated scsihd.c: Get sector size from CHD metadata to support old 256 bytes/sector SASI drives, and allow hard disk image subdevices.

* [[J. Wallace]] started converting steppers to simulate actual behavior in a more logical way, rather than using hardcoded tables.

* [[David Haywood]] provided PGM driver cleanups.

* [[David Haywood]] provided Rainbow Island driver cleanups + rename to avoid mess conflict

* [[iq132]] improved puzzli2 protection simulation.

* [[O. Galibert]] updated uiimage/diimage: Dumbify the menus and add a control layer.
