--------------
-removed runtime ioport tagmap lookup when using PORT_CONDITION with
PORT_BIT, used by gmgalax for example [smf]
-Moved some of the saturn code from mame/ into emu/ and made saturn.c &
stv.c separately compilable. Still needs work before saturn.c can be
moved to mess/ [smf]

v2.4 [Kevin Eshbach]
-h8: PC and CCR are packed into one longword. Fixes coinmvga games.
[O. Galibert, R. Belmont]
-split saturn and stv up a bit more so that stvprot.c is not linked
into MESS [smf]
-split mame/drivers/saturn.c into emu/machine/saturn.c and
mess/drivers/saturn.c, so mame doesn't have to compile and link the
unused code. [smf]
-emuopts.c: Re-evaluate slot options after loading .ini files.
[Wilbert Pol]

* Documented several games which have roms that have one a 1-byte
difference, now known to be confirmed good and simply an older
revision. Thanks goto Bonky0013, Kold666, Stefan Lindberg and
others for the cooperation and board investigations.
* Restored back the rom parts removed in previous updates because
they needed to be documented and added the missing ones of the
recently dumped 3wondersr1.
-cps1.c: improved operation of sf2m3, sf2m8, sgyxz [Robbbert]
-g65816.c: added missing mirror of the 5a22 regs [Fabio Priuli]
-315_5124.c: Improved triggering of IRQs. [Enik Land]

* Added 'exit' as a synonym for 'quit'.
-s14001a.c: Add note that the four dac test pins are really digital out
pins [PlgDavid]
-turbo.c - Corrected ROM labels and locations for Buck Rogers and
clones [Phil Bennett, Andy Welburn]
-Windows OSD / stdout/stderr output buffering [qmc2]
-M740 updates: [R. Belmont]

Noted the encrypted Z80 part number and Sega ID numbers for the CPU
and ROM boards. Correct sprite color prom based on photo of PCB.
[Brian Troha]
-M3745x: Preliminary support for the Mitsubishi M37450 microcontroller
[R. Belmont]
-gunpey.c: [Angelo Salese, David Haywood]
* Significant emulation improvements to the emulation bringing the
game to a mostly playable state, albeit without decompression of
the compressed graphics (scheme still not understood)
- deco_mlc.c: [David Haywood]
* Rewrote video renderer to be scanline based, allowing for further
progress on Stadium Hero '96 emulation (it became possible to
implement raster interrupt scanline effects without crippling the
performance) The game is now mostly playable but there are some
outstanding issues likely to be related to the protection.

Source Changes
--------------
-cat.c (Canon Cat): Fixed the v2.40 bioses thinking the phone is
constantly ringing; Documented what all the DUART IO pins are
connected to, and correctly hooked DUART IP2 up to invert when the 6ms
timer expires, removing the previous hack (and fixing the ringing
bug). [Lord Nightmare]

-c64: Added support for the standard MIDI cartridges:
Passport/Syntech, Siel/JMS/DATEL, Sequential, Namesoft, and Maplin.
[Curt Coder]
-Apple II: Allow Super Serial Card to connect to MESS's serial
terminal and null modem devices. [R. Belmont]
-fmtowns: Preliminary implementation of the CD-ROM controller's
software mode. Enough to get the CD-ROM working under Win95.
[Barry Rodewald]
-vic20/c64: Added VIC-1011A/B RS-232C adapter emulation. [Curt Coder]
-Added hook-up for CD Block command 0x64 (Put Sector Data) [Angelo Salese]
-megadriv.c: emulated protection in mulan, pokemon 2 (previously patched
out) and in the real ttoon3 dump. [Fabio Priuli]
-ColecoVision: controller has a * key, not a . key [Nick3092]
-Apple II: Added support for Street Electronics Echo Plus and
Zip Technologies ZipDrive cards [R. Belmont, Lord Nightmare]
-dectalk.c: renamed dectalk roms to match the DEC 23-xxxLn standard and
noted what their actual paper labels were (these paper labels will
differ on different dectalk units depending on exactly when they were
made, though the ROM contents are exactly the same! The derivable
23-xxxLn part number will not change, though.). Added more comments.
[Lord Nightmare]
-supercon: Fix regressions [Ralf Schäfer]
-odyssey2.c: Further palette improvements. [Dr. Venom]
-cbm8096: Emulated the 64KB memory expansion card, and promoted
driver to working. [Curt Coder]
-cat.c: (Canon Cat) Fixed a mistake in the memory map mirroring due to
an error during testing; added proper readback of the floppy control
register, and corrected the floppy status readback so it thinks that
no floppy is inserted. [Lord Nightmare]
-gameboy.c: fixed cart type for MBC1 collection games, promoting
Bomberman Collection, Genjin Collection, Momotarou Collection, Mortal
Kombat I & II and Super Chinese Land 1.2.3 to working state
[Fabio Priuli]
-gbcolor.c: added support for Sintax mapper, promoting a dozen of
pirate games to working state [taizou, Fabio Priuli]
-PlayStation: Fix CD-ROM regression [R. Belmont]
-isa_ide: correctly mapped alternate port [Miodrag Milanovic]
-megadriv.c: emulated protection in pirate Super Mario World 64,
based on research by Eke and andlabs [Fabio Priuli]
-gb.c: attempt in emulating protection for Chong Wu Xiao Jing
Ling/Pokemon Pikecho. [Fabio Priuli]
-megadriv.c: added support for Legend of Wukong [Fabio Priuli]
-aes: Added UniBios versions to Neo Geo home console [Kaylee]
-a7800.c: Fixed color clip in $1 & $F [Robert Tuccitto]
-Reimplemented the NCR5380 SCSI controller using nscsi. [R. Belmont]
-Apple II: Preliminary support for the Apple II Rev. C SCSI
Card. [R. Belmont]
-a7800.c: [Robert Tuccitto] Improved and corrected NTSC (a7800) and
PAL (a7800p) palettes
* Palette rebuild due to misaligned data references
* Corrected PAL color sequence order
-gameboy: added emulation of Rockman 8 pirate cart by Yong Yong.
[Fabio Priuli]
-gameboy: added correct handling of Echo RAM, needed by Rockman 8.
[Fabio Priuli]
-profweis: added another bios version. [Team Europe]
-snes.c: several updates to cart handling [Fabio Priuli]
* moved Sufami Turbo and BSX carts to separate lists
* added emulation for DSP1/4, ST-010/011, S-DD1, SPC7110, SuperFX,
BS-X and Sufami Turbo as slot devices
* added emulation for the protection device used in some pirate carts
-Fix AES cart swap sound crash. [R. Belmont]
-vk100.c (DEC GIGI/VK100): Hooked up the direction prom to the
vector generator rather than using a hack. Still a lot of work to go,
but the test mode looks like it at least starts off running more
correctly before it fails. [Lord Nightmare]
-Modernized vc4000 device. [Andrew Gardner]
-snes.c: updated the driver to only save the real amount of SRAM
present on the cart. This means that old .nv files won't be directly
compatible with newer exe, but you shall be able to keep your saves by
backing them up and taking the first block of the correct size (e.g.
if you take the first 8KB block of your old .nv for Super Metroid it
should work fine with the new exe). At the same time, MESS should be
now compatible with saves taken in other emulators. [Fabio Priuli]
-cat.c (Canon Cat): Got rid of the keyboard interrupt timer and
hooked the keyboard interrupt to the 6ms timer instead, which is
closer to hardware. The cursor blinks at a more correct but not
completely correct rate now. The duart (the REAL source of the
interrupts, which should fire with the transitions of the 12ms period
squarewave) still does not work for interrupts properly, it needs its
innards fixed. [Lord Nightmare]
-Modernized wswan, special, and svision devices. [Andrew Gardner]
-sms.c: [Enik Land]
* Fixed master clock speed for PAL machines.
* Improved hcount handling resulting in better results from Flubba's
VDP timing checks.
-snes.c: misc work on pirate carts. [Fabio Priuli]
* added support for Korean Super 20 Collection multigame cart, even
if a few games still have glitches.
* added support for bankswitch mechanism used in a few pirate
multigame carts.
* added support for protection used by Tekken 2 and Street Fighter
Alpha EX, based on notes by d4s and nocash.
-3c505: fix typo that broke TCP [Hans Ostermeyer]
-snes.c: major overhaul of cart and add-on handling [Fabio Priuli]
* updated carts to be slot devices
* simplified loading and bankswitch mechanism
* removed drivers snessfx and snespsfx: SuperFX/GSU games can now be
loaded in snes and snespal
* removed drivers snesdsp and snespdsp: NEC DSPx games can now be
loaded in snes and snespal from softlist
* removed drivers snesst10 and snesst11: Seta DSP games can now be
loaded in snes and snespal from softlist
* removed driver snesst: when you load Sufami Turbo, two more cart
slots (-cart2 and -cart3) become available to load ST carts
* added preliminary support for games with BS-X slots: when you load
one of these, a -cart2 slot becomes available to load a 8MB memory
pack (only a few of these work at the moment, e.g. Same Game)
* added support for loading DSPx games with DSP dump appended at the
end of the .sfc file
-snes.c: added support in snes and snespal for loading from
fullpath DSPx and ST01x games missing the DSP data, i.e. the commonly
available dumps, without using clone systems (softlists had no
problems with these games because the DSP data come from the softlist
romset) [Fabio Priuli]
-megadriv.c: emulated reset-based Codemaster 2-in-1 carts (2psymmac).
[Fabio Priuli]
