* [[Nicola Salmoria]] fixed sound in Spinal Breakers.

* [[Acho A. Tang]] added sound to HAL21.

* [[Bryan McPhail]] fixed controls & gfx in Outrun and Space Harrier.

* [[Acho A. Tang]] simulated the protection in S.P.Y.

* [[Acho A. Tang]] fixed Rip cord.

* [[Acho A. Tang]] fixed the collision detection in Labyrinth Runner and Fast Lane.

* [[Bryan McPhail]] and [[Stephane Humbert]] fixed the protection in Funky Jet

* [[Shiriru]] and made several fixes to the F3 games.

* [[Bryan McPhail]] added light gun support.

* [[Aaron Giles]] did a major redesign of the OS interface for the display update.
** VIDEO_SUPPORTS_DIRTY flag removed
** osd_mark_dirty() removed
** osd_create_display() now takes an extra parameter rgb_components
** osd_set_visible_area() removed
** osd_allocate_colors() removed
** osd_modify_pen() removed
** osd_update_video_and_audio() now takes a mame_display pointer
** osd_debugger_focus() removed
** osd_set/get_gamma() removed
** osd_set/get_brightness() removed

* [[Aaron Giles]] completely redesigned the artwork handling. Any game can now use artwork, with no specific support in the driver. Configuration is done with external .art files.
** -[[no]]artcrop -- crops artwork to the game screen area only
** -[[no]]backdrop -- enables/disables backdrop art
** -[[no]]overlay -- enables/disables overlay art
** -[[no]]bezel -- enables/disables bezel art

* [[Aaron Giles]] changed the Windows version so it now rotates the screen at blit time instead of requiring the core to do so. Since the new code is usually faster than the old one, and it allows for great simplifications in the core, rotation at blit time will probably be a requirement in next release. Porters are advised to begin implementing it now.

* [[Fabio R. Schmidlin]] and [[Charles MacDonald]] added a new YM-2413 emulator.
