• Angelo Salese fixed various stuff with the jalmah.c driver, including suchipi booting, improved the video emulation a bit & attempted to add controls.

• R. Belmont updated the Namco Super System 22 driver to use preliminary M37710 core, but it doesn't do anything useful yet.

• Inigo Luja added conditional coinage to snowbros.

• Inigo Luja fixed the backwards controls in ckong.

• Aaron Giles renamed PORT_CENTER to PORT_RESET to more accurates describe what it does. Also added PORT_CENTERDELTA(x) to control the autocentering behavior.
