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

R. Belmont ported ElSemi's SCSP Core, this gives preliminary sound in the ST-V games, however at the moment most of them play static, Shienryu is mostly correct

David Haywood made more ST-V improvements, fixing various graphical issues (Shienryu Sprite Colours) and general other bits and pieces. More games are 'watchable' now, for example Cotton 2, Cotton Boomerang, Puyo Puyo Sun, Columns 97 however they lack controls

Aaron Giles made some Atari improvements with the new sets (old speed hacks removed that aren't really needed anymore, both screens being displayed in Cyberball)

Nathan Woods contributed misc changes
- Removed wave_sh_stop() call from the MESS specific WAVE sound interface (it is extraneous now)
- Added a few macros for other miscellaneous X86 opcodes
- Added a drc_dasm() call, a debug call that uses MAME's I386 disassembler to disassemble DRC'd code (didn't compile, commented out until fixed)
- Added 'GAMENOUN' and 'GAMESNOUN' macros; defined to be the human readable text for the words 'game' and 'games' respectively (this is so MESS can use the nouns 'system' and 'systems')

Olivier Galibert made v60 improvements (LDTASK, STTASK, ABSF and some missing \n.)

Olivier Galibert fixed some SegaPCM problems: fixes the pitch (the 15800Hz value was wrong, it should have been the main 4Mhz clock divived by 256) and also makes the code ultra-paranoid when it comes to out-of-range accesses in the sample roms. Power Drift's sound code sometimes puts semirandom values for the first handful of keyons on song transitions.
