• The Dumping Union updated segas32.c: Corrected rom labels and added PCB locations to F1 Super Lap.

• Angelo Salese removed ugly functions interrupt_enable_w() and cpu_interrupt_enable() from the core, and updated all the drivers that used it accordingly. Full list of drivers changed by this can be found at http://mamedev.emulab.it/kale/fast/files/cpu_irq_enable.zip .

• Angelo Salese fixed scratchy sound in Birdiy, unlike all other Pac-Man HW games irq mask is at $5001 instead of $5000, so fixing that fixed the sound as well.

• Angelo Salese fixed bogus IRQ/NMI mask bit in Yie Ar Kung-Fu (IRQ mask bit was masking BOTH lines before).

• Angelo Salese fixed bogus irq mask to sound CPU in Syusse Oozumou.

• Angelo Salese fixed bogus irq mask bit in SNK6502 HW games (IRQ mask bit was masking BOTH lines before).
