Specific Contributions

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

• Nicola Salmoria fixed sprite priorities in Hachoo.

• Mathias Rosenhauer added sound to Looping.

• Tatsuyuki Satoh improved speech in Double Dribble.

• Andrea Mazzoleni improved the subwoofer sounds in ninjaw and darius2d.

• Mike Coates changed the DOS version so the keyboard special handling introduced in the previous beta, which makes it easier to register two- or three-button presses, is now optional. By default it's off; to turn it on, use -steadykey.

• Jeoff Krontz changed the 4-way emulation on a 8-way joystick to "sticky" mode. This makes Lady Bug and other 4-way games more playable. Explanation here: http://www.rentrondesign.homestead.com/JoyPrimer.html

• Jarek Burczynski added MB87078 emulation, used by some Taito B games.

• New helper macros BITSWAP8(), BITSWAP16() and BITSWAP24().
