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

* [[Aaron Giles]] provided part 1 of the memory handler normalization. READ/WRITE_DEVICE*_HANDLERs are now passed an address_space &, and the 8-bit variants get a mem_mask as well. This means they are now directly compatible with the member function delegates. Added a generic address space to the driver_device that can be used when no specific address space is available. Also added DECLARE_READ/WRITE_DEVICE*_HANDLER macros to declare device callbacks with default mem_mask parameters.

* [[Aaron Giles]] provided part 2 of the memory handler normalization. Change legacy read/write handlers to take an address_space & instead of an address_space *. Also update pretty much all other functions to take a reference where appropriate.

* [[Aaron Giles]] provided part 3 of the memory handler cleanup. Add mem_mask parameter to 8-bit handlers to match the others. To ease pain, added DECLARE_READ/WRITE_HANDLER macros that set up a default parameter. Also updated devcb so that the handlers can be called with or without the mem_mask.

* [[Angelo Salese]] and [[Smitdogg]] improved the Seibu COP emulation: Added 0x1c param to 0x0205 command, fixes at least sprite positioning during intros of Raiden 2 and Zero Team (but breaks gameplay in Zero Team, needs investigation).

* [[Angelo Salese]] and [[Smitdogg]] improved the Seibu COP emulation: Made 0x42c2 command more accurate, makes Legionnaire enemies to behave properly and match finally starts in Seibu Cup Soccer.

* [[Phil Bennett]] updated gunpey.c: Corrected OKI M6925 frequency.

* [[smf]] provided a fix for "file note writeable" when creating, plus consolidated some duplicate/redundant code.

* [[Angelo Salese]] improved the Seibu COP emulation: Added 0xe38e command, used by Seibu Cup Soccer to follow the ball.

* [[Aaron Giles]] provided a patch that, since nobody checks for NULLs anyway, makes device_memory_interface::space() assert against NULL and return a reference, and pushed references throughout all address space usage in the system. Added a has_space() method to check for those rare case when it is ambiguous.

* [[Wilbert Pol]] added -verifysoftware command.

* [[Angelo Salese]] changed CPS-1 video timings to SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS.

* [[Robbbert]] added generic set of pinball mechanical sounds.

* [[R. Belmont]] updated lib7z: fix portability problems that resulted in memory trashing in some configurations.

* [[IQ_132]] provided better simulation of Metal Slug X's protection device.

* [[R. Belmont]] made Epson R4543 RTC a proper RTC device, eliminates duplicated code in Namco Systems 12 and 23.

* [[Robbbert]] updated the rotation driver - Added motor simulation; added nvram; added mechanical sounds; added notes.

* [[R. Belmont]] updated tms99x8: Converted to using RGB32 bitmap so chips can coexist with other video screens.

* [[Oliver Stöneberg]] fixed MT03464: fixed potential out of array access in src/emu/video/voodoo.c logerror().

* [[Curt Coder]] updated the m6509 core: Fixed EA zero page indirect + Y (post indexed).

* [[Curt Coder]] implemented DS75160A/DS75161A IEEE-488 GPIB Transceivers.

* [[Robbbert]] updated the spectra driver - added remaining sounds, game marked as WORKING.

* [[Angelo Salese]] ported Palette brightness effects to Raiden 2 HW, used by Zero Team and X Se Dae.

* [[Brian Troha]] updated mcr68.c: Add dipswitch locations to all sets in the driver.

* [[Robbbert]] updated the aftor driver - fixed display, marked as WORKING.

* [[Angelo Salese]] added irq ack to Shanghai 3 HW.

* [[Angelo Salese]] and [[Tafoid]] fixed M68K and hooked up SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS for Blocken. Game was definitely running at erratic speeds before.

* [[Curt Coder]] updated the mos6526 device: Implemented a nearly cycle-exact "old" CIA, which passes most of the Lorenz/VICE CIA tests. Refactored the c64/c128/vic10/cbm2 drivers and the 1571/1581 floppy drives to use the new implementation.

* [[Wilbert Pol]] updated 6532riot.c: Internal timer is always running. Fixes several a2600 regressions.

* [[smf]] moved scsi protocol code from scsibus_device to scsihle_device, leaving scsibus_device to calculate the current bus contents and distribute it to each of the scsidev_device.

* [[Luca Elia]] updated suna8.c: fixed sound samples width, improves speech in e.g. rranger.

* [[Luca Elia]] promoted starfigh to playable state:
** Address line scrambling of data ROMs.
** ROM bank latching and mirroring.
** Sound latch and NMI disable.
** Patched some further protection.
** Added graphics banking.

* [[iq_132]] emulated Lord of Gun's protection rather than patching it out.
