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

* [[R. Belmont]] added fix to allow a driver to have MSM6295s and plain ADPCM voices coexist (required for gcpinbal).

* [[R. Belmont]] added Full Sound / Music to Grand Cross

* [[Angelo Salese]] improved the colors in Bishi Bashi

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] fixed sprites in ckongs

* [[Bryan McPhail]] updated the Double Dragon driver
** Correct video & interrupt timing derived from Xain schematics and confirmed on real DD board.
** Corrected interrupt handling, epecially to MCU (but one semi-hack remains).
** TStrike now boots but sprites don't appear (I had them working at one point, can't remember what broke them again).
** Dangerous Dungeons fixed.
** World version of Double Dragon added (actually same roms as the bootleg, but confirmed from real board)
** Removed stereo audio flag (still on Toffy - does it have it?)

* [[Angelo Salese]] added various ST-V improvements

* [[Curt Coder]] fixed the Twin16/TMNT driver:
** twin16.c
*** Fixed cuebrick NVRAM handler
*** Added watchdog reset
** tmnt.c
** Fixed mia/mia2 inputs/dips
** Fixed visible area in cuebrckj/mia/mia2
** Changed cuebrckj to "Cue Brick (World version D)", since text is in English)

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed many issues in the TMS32031 core; Offroad Challenge is almost playable as a result, minus the fact that the clipping plane seems to like clipping out the cars during the race. But the terrain problems are fixed at least.

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed a memory annoyance: unmapped memory accesses always reported the raw byte address, not the CPU-level address. This is annoying for chips like the TMS34010 or the TMS32031, so now the effecitve offset is logged instead, taking into account the address shift.

* [[Robin Merrill]] and [[Bryan McPhail]] made some input port corrections

* [[Aaron Giles]] fixed the OSD: this is a minor fix to enable the OSD for non-debug builds regardless of the -debug flag

* [[Nathan Woods]] contributed misc fixes
** Adds a handful of comments to uifontdata[]
** Changes character 14 to a solid circle; previously this character was blank and unused
** Miscellaneous changes within #ifdef MESS
