* [[David Haywood]]
* [[Farfetch'd]]
* [[Nathan Woods]]

* [[R. Belmont]]
* [[smf]]
* [[Stefan Jokisch]]
* [[Ville Linde]]

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

* [[Nathan Woods]] updated the i386 core:
** Implemented usage of segment limits (or whatever they are called)
** Implemented 16-bit interrupts
** Initial values of IDTR are now properly specified
** i386_interrupt() is no longer called when i386_set_irq_line() is called with a state of zero
** Actual cycle count is now returned
** Partially implemented far CALL and JMP instruction
** Implemented PUSH rm8 instruction

* [[Olivier Galibert]], [[R. Belmont]], and [[Farfetch'd]] added a i960 cpu core / disassembler

* [[Ville Linde]] made some SPI improvements
** SPI: The "old" video hardware (viperp1) does have 3 layers after all, but no rowscroll. Fixed.
** 386: Bugfixed Nathan's REP

* [[Ville Linde]] fixed the YMF271 pitch: improves music in Brave Blade

* [[Nathan Woods]] fixed a small fileio problem

* [[Nathan Woods]] contributed 386 updates:
** Added a distinction between maskable and non maskable interrupts (like int 3, illegal instruction etc)
** Added a distinction between invalid and unimplemented instructions. Invalid instructions raise an interrupt, and unimplemented instructions call osd_die() for now
** i386_set_irq_line() will no longer raise an interrupt when passed with state=0
** Various string intructions now use SI/DI instead of ESI/EDI when in 16-bit mode
** Implemented LOCK and RETF
** Fixed a bug in LMSW
** Minor disassembler fixes

* [[smf]] improved the PSX sio

* [[Brian Troha]] fixed various DIP switches:
** Gold Medalist (alpha68k.c)
** Break Through (brkthru.c)
** Got-Ya (gotya.c)
** American Horseshoes & Plotting (taito_l.c)

* [[Phil Stroffolino]] added Phil's 'if I get hit by a bus' Namco S22 MLE update
** TMS32025: bugfix for lst and lst1 opcodes; the "ignore ARP" hack has been replaced with a better hack, that doesn't interfere with indirect addressing.
** Preliminary serial I/O support has been added, to update DRR/DXR on RINT and XINT interrupts. set_irq_line() no longer masks the lines with 0x7; this allows external triggering of RINT/XINT interrupts.
** System22 driver changes:
*** display list processing is now done by the master DSP
*** the slave DSP's in-game graphics processing and "custom render devices" are currently simulated, which works only for Prop Cycle
*** support for PDP block-based memory transfers
*** support for DSP data/code uploads from main CPU
*** support for "Point RAM" and "Point ROM" access
*** most self tests are working in Prop Cycle and Ridge Racer (Japan)
*** prelim hand-crafted "internal ROMs" for master and slave DSP
*** various notes regarding DSP ports/addressing
