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

* [[Hans Ostermeyer]] provided m68k improvements:
** Fixed BFINS, BFEXTU, and BFEXTS to fetch 8-bit quantities as 8 bits (corrects Domain/OS 10.3.5 crash on page boundry).
** Added SoftFloat log functions and m68k FLOGNP1, FLOGN, FLOG2, andFLOG10 instructions.

* [[stephh]] fixed Dip Switches and Coin Inputs (after verification of the 5A22 code) in kinstb, ffight2b, iron, denseib, sblast2b (snesb.c).

* [[David Haywood]] worked on PGM, Scorpion 4/5 and Astra Fruit Machine:
** Slightly reworked some previous PGM submissions.
** Reorganized many bfm_sc4/sc5 sound roms.
** Added some notes, code and alternate revisions to astrafr.c.

* [[Takahiro Nogi]] updated nbmj8891.c: Fixed font graphics in hanamomo.

* [[R. Belmont]] updated uPD1990AC: Only latch CSx bits when STB is high.

* [[David Haywood]] updated proconn.c:
** Added the basic device definitions for this driver with some NULL callbacks for now, setting the framework for more progress later.

* [[James Wallace]] provided a globalfr.c VFD improvement to allow for better debugging as well as some rom splitting of clones for the driver. Also did some stepper motor work to support more types.

* [[David Haywood]] updated ecoinf3.c:
** Added some 8255s (maybe too many, not sure how many the PCBs have) and identified where it writes the 'VFD' strings.

* [[Brian Troha]] updated silvmil.c: Added known dipswitches & locations. Derived clock speeds from actual OSCs located on the PCB.

* [[Andreas Naive]] revamped the sprite decryption of raiden2-like Seibu boards:
** Added support for Zero Team.
** Code refactored to clarify the algorithm.

* [[Luca Elia]] provided improvements to Jaleco's "Stepping Stage Special"
** Fixed memory maps, rom loading, added inputs.
** Hooked up sprites, hacked in the text layer.
** Can be made to boot using the debugger.

* [[Sandro Ronco]] updated icecold.c:
** This game has mechanical parts so it's not exactly playable, but it is possible try it until the end giving the expected inputs.
** Imported the i8279 device from MESS and updated to support sensor mode and mask nibble.
** Made a simple layout and the defined input ports.

* [[David Haywood]] improved the serial emulation in 68307 and added some logging, removing the hack in bfm_sc4.c.

* [[Roberto Fresca]] provided Meyco driver improvements:
** Reworked Inputs for all games.
** Added button-lamps support.
** Created internal control layout for all games.
** Added mech counters support.
** Promoted all games to working state.
** Renamed the mdrawpkra ROMs based on PCB picture.
** Renamed the driver to meyc8080.c
** Added technical and game notes.

* [[hap]] provided preliminary Imagetek I5000 sound emulation.

* [[David Haywood]] started giving Scorpion games their own reel / key configs, which is needed for most of them to pass their post / not hang on 'reel errors' or infinitely spinning reels. Also more work on 68307's.

* [[Sandro Ronco]] converted turbo.c to use i8279 device.

* [[James Wallace]] added some better command handling to stop SC4 games from overwriting their attract mode messages with garbage.

* [[David Haywood]] did preliminary work on Scorpion 4 lamps + more set resorting.

* [[David Haywood]] discovered similarities in gotcha.c to Data East Bootleg sprites, also happening to be the closest implementation to Silver Millennium in the sources. Refactored each based on this information.

* [[David Haywood]] refactored a few things related to reels and use of layouts allowing for more function with less work.

* [[Team CPS-1]]: provided a CPS-3 update:
** Fixed CD Catalog # for jojoba 990927 and properly renamed the chd.
** Realigned the games table.

* [[Andreas Naive]] updated amaticmg.c: figured out encryption.

* [[Brian Troha]] updated paradise.c: Corrected Difficulty DSW for Penky and added notes about alternate DSW settings as found in scanned Pins & Dip manual.

* [[Brian Troha]] updated gumbo.c: Added dipswitch locations to all sets in the driver.

* [[Brian Troha]] updated sliver.c: Filled in / Corrected all dipswitches for Sliver and added dipswitch locations.

* [[Brian Troha]] updated sangho.c: Filled in some dipswitches for Sexy Boom & Puzzle Star and added dipswitch locations.

* [[Brian Troha]] updated pokechmp.c: Correct dipswitches as per manual and add dipswitch locations.

* [[stephh]] updated sangho.c: Sexy Boom's difficulty DSW setting corrected and verified.
