** Added a kludge to use the right palette for the text layer in LE2, I haven't checked, but I wonder if this could also be related to internal defaults for the mixer chip which the game doesn't change.

refactoring/cleaning up some code.


* [[Angelo Salese]] implemented proper irq ack to the deniam.c driver.
* [[David Haywood]] provided NamcoS21 cleanups:
** Added default NVRAM to Cybersled.
** Limited the range of the analog inputs in Cybersled (the game glitches, causing you to move backwards if they hit the minimum / maximum).
** Setup default key mapping in Cybersled to be similar to other dual joystick 'tank' style games, eg. Assault, rather than the default keyboard mapping where the sticks appear to be swapped.
** Reworked the input ports a bit so that they include a common base rather than duplicating common inputs.
** Renamed aircombu to aircomb, and made it the parent instead of the Japanese set.


* [[Angelo Salese]] implemented irq ack to Big 10.
* [[David Haywood]] provided Cave cleanups:
** Removed fake Region dipswitch that modified the region byte in the EEPROM each reset for Sailor Moon, Air Gallet and Mazinger Z.
** Split out different regions into clones with different default EEPROMs instead, and ensured all EEPROMs are factory default for that region. (this is a cleaner solution and more accurately represents the PCBs).

* [[Fabio Priuli]] added driver data class to dynax.c, ddenlovr.c.


* [[M.A.S.H.]] fixed Stadium Cross inputs in segas32.c.

* [[Christophe Jaillet]] updated png2bdc.c: When the usage is printed, the name displayed was "png2bdf" instead of "png2bdc"; this changes it by retrieving the name of the executable at runtime, so it will always be correct now.
