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

* [[Aaron Giles]] made more input port cleanups:
** Fixed input port handlers that used the port_tag_to_handler calls.
** Simplified the reading/writing of input ports so they work more reliably.
** Only write changed settings to the .cfg files.
** Fixed saving of analog port configurations.

* [[Atari Ace]] updated to the latest zlib.

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] added flipscreen to Pop Bingo. Added some disable registers for tilemaps/sprites (fixing the bug in lastday demo).

* [[David Haywood]] fixed some video bugs in Party Time.

* [[BUT]] adjusted the Namco CUS30 noise frequency.

* [[BUT]] fixed input ports in djmain.

* [[R. Belmont]] made several Konami improvements:
** Added support for "external memory address" registers on the YMZ280B, which can be used to read the contents of attached ROM or RAM.
** Hooked up the mask ROM tests in the service menu - both the tile character ROMS and the sound ROMs now can be tested.
** Added secondary control register.
** Hooked up IRQ control.
** Renamed ROMs for both games to include PCB location information.

* [[Juergen Buchmueller]] improved the DECO cassette games:
** Treasure Island graphics ROMs (overlay board) mapped according to findings by debugging the game code.
** Swapped image names for ctislnd2 and ctislnd3 to match the driver names; ctislnd3 is the not yet working set; removed IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS flag.
** Found bitswap for Zeroize type #3 dongle; found hack to get it running w/o the dongle ROM by debugging the game code; changed year to 1983; removed NOT_WORKING flag.

* [[Ville Linde]] updated the SHARC core and Model 2 driver:
** Reworked the SHARC internal ram implementation so that multiple instances of the core work.
** Added data address space
** Added coprocessor input and output FIFO's to Model 2.
** Updated Konami zr107, gticlub, nwk-tr, hornet to work with the SHARC changes

* [[Ville Linde]] improved the Seibu SPI driver:
** Fixed sprite priority issues
** Added support for pen-based alpha to sprites and tilemaps. It's currently using fixed alpha table for all games, but this seems to break some games, so it probably isn't correct.

* [[Derrick Renaud]] fixed the discrete sound 555 timer modules when using actual DC mode.

* [[Ville Linde]] added a low-frequency oscillator (LFO) to the YMF271 emulator.

* [[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]] made improvements to the dcon driver:
** Fixed sprites - sprites priorities
** Fixed sprites - tilemaps priorities
** Added wrap around and flipy in sprites

* [[Mathias Rosenhauer]] added MNG recording support (shift+F12 by default).

* [[Tim Lindner]] fixed 6309 division instructions overflow behavior on the HD6309.

* [[Ville Linde]] fixed more YMF271 issues:
** The mix buffer pointer was not being reset between two 2-operator FM sounds, causing missing sounds.
** Fixed some bugs in the phase modulation of FM sounds
