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

* [[Vernon C. Brooks]] fixed shadow/highlight in the Namco System 1 games (check Dangerous Seed's title screen!).

* [[Juergen Buchmueller]] added sound to Warp Warp.

* [[Zsolt Vasvari]] fixed sound in Sindbad Mystery.

* [[Mathias Rosenhauer]] added vector intensity control to the On Screen Display (for vector games).

* [[Andrea Mazzoleni]] unified the keyboard and joystick interfaces, now they are all assigned in the "Input" menu and you can mix them at will.

* [[Bernd Wiebelt]] added MMX optimized video blitting functions to the DOS version.

* The transition to the GAME() macro is complete. struct GameDriver must no longer be used. Alro removed the old ROM_REGION() and ROM_REGION_DISPOSE() macros, and renamed ROM_REGIONX() to ROM_REGION().

* The functionality of osd_skip_this_frame() is now more strictly defined (see osdepend.h). Ports not complying with that must be updated, otherwise problems with certain drivers might arise.

* [[Aaron Giles]] changed the sources so that mixer.c now does all sound mixing, generating one single sample stream, played using the new osd_XXX_audio_stream() functions. All other OS dependant sample functions (osd_play_sample() etc.) have been removed. This should standardize the sound output across ports, and allow porters to write much cleaner sound code.

* Removed some obsolete fields from struct GameOptions.
