Specific Contributions

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

Olivier Galibert added various System 24 improvements, fixing priorities, clipping issues etc.

Bryan McPhail improved the Lightgun Code / Reload Handling
- '-lightgun' now enables the lightgun only - no button remapping is performed.
- '-reload' (formally '-offscreen_reload') is now needed for 2nd button presses to map to offscreen shots.
- '-dual' (formally '-dual_lightgun') adds support for the Actlabs Dual Lightgun setup, it may be used with and without '-reload' and it requires '-lightgun'. This mode attempts to automatically remap the player 1 & 2 buttons to suit the lightgun setup. If it doesn't work you probably need to delete the .cfg file for that game.

Removed '(hack?)' from descriptions of newly added raizing games, stickers on the boards seem to indicate they are genuine Korean release versions.
