Specific Contributions
The known contributions for this version are, in the order specified in the whatsnew:
- Aaron Giles corrected btoads clocks according XTALs on the PCB.

- Nicola Salmoria added a partial key for FD1089B 317-0037.
- Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed bking3 clocks as per Guru readme. Added GAME_WRONG_COLORS flag to bking3.
- Aaron Giles added TMS34020 fixes:
- Allowed 32-bit pixel sizes
- Fixed RPIX instruction
- Aaron Giles added a new function input_poll_keyboard_switches to poll for only key events. Expanded the size of the maximum simultaneously pressed switches.

- Modified slapstic code to support address range mirrors.
- Cleaned up Rampart driver:
- simplified rendering code
- full memory map
- added save state support
- kingshriek implemented decent-sounding FM in the SCSP.
- R. Belmont, Samuele Zannoli, and ElSemi updated the Naomi driver, now boots and shows some test menus (press F2 to get into test, use 9 to navigate). Also hooked up ROM board PIO and skeleton for DMA.
- SGINut made N64 improvements:
- Move texture masking to occur after coordinate adjustment
- Fix 32-bit texturing in load_tile (Mario Kart 64 title screen)
- Add zero-alpha early-out (Mario 64 trees/stars, Mario Kart 64 trees/karts)
- couriersud made ad2083 improvements:
- completed tms5110A code
- working speech synthesis
- documented analysis done on pcb pictures and findings
- as a consequence, marked all sound roms as BAD DUMP
