Specific Contributions

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

• Hans Andersson fixed a sound bug in Phoenix sound effect #2

• NeoSource Forums updated the NeoGeo driver:
  • Fatal Fury 2 - Emulated Protection
  • King of Fighters 10th Anniversary - Added code to update SRAM tiles on the fly
  • CCTHD2k3 - Fixed GFX / Colours
  • Added code to support remaining NeoGeo sets

• Roberto Fresca fixed Mat Mania DIP switches

• William Krick and smf fixed some Leap Year calculations

• Alan Kamrowski II made some Sync Refresh / Waitvsync / Triplebuffer changes:
  • Changed the waitvsync code to wait for the beginning of the vertical blank (the previous code simply checked if it was in the vblank and only waited if it wasn't).
  • Removed the waitvsync only if game speed is above 95% restriction. This restriction would only cause waitvsync to vacillate between on and off depending on game speed.
  • When syncrefresh and triplebuffer are used, MAME would run the waitvsync code anyway. The triplebuffer code takes care of this already.

• Brad Oliver fixed a typo in monzagp.c

• Brian Troha fixed DIP switches in SS Mission and Air Attack
