* Fixed layout typo that caused the wrong piece to be displayed in
Connect 4.
* Documented the DUART and PTM better in MPU4 to allow for sampled
sound changes later.
* Changed 'serial_card_connected_ to link 7a, as it is the jumper on
the ROM card that changes the IRQ priority, not the serial
interface itself.

dogyuun: decrypted some opcodes [Roberto Zandona']

raiden2: Command 0205 changes data at +1c too [dox, O. Galibert]

raiden2: First stab at a cop "disassembler" [trap15, O. Galibert]

Redo most of the DRC/backend support as C++. Yes, it is intentional
that the x86/x64 backends compile everywhere. Backends are now
derived from drcbe_interface and implement several required overrides.
x86emit.h now uses namespaces so that the x86/x64 emitters can
co-exist. New file uml.h/uml.c actually describes the UML language,
separating out several concepts from drcuml.c. [Aaron Giles]

Cleaned up clocks of mid to late 80s Nichibutsu non-Mahjong games.
Though not completely accurate yet, this should improve music speed
and DAC audio pitch a bit. [hap]

romload.c: made -bios option case insensitive [Fabio Priuli]

starfire.c: Improved color emulation and added driver data [Qwi Jibo]

toaplan2:
* found a lot more kbash opcodes by matching code with batsugun's

* fixed integer registers now use constants I0,I1,I2,etc instead of
IREG(0),...
* same for float registers F0,F1,F2,etc instead of FREG(0)
* dynamic integer/float regs use inline functions ireg(),freg()
* MEM macro is now a lower-case inline function mem()

Fixed a trivial boot vector program init bug in Lethal Thunder /
Thunder Blaster [Angelo Salese]

Added an opcode in Mystic Riders decryption table, makes BGMs to work
in mysticrib [Angelo Salese]

Added sound reset line for Irem M92 HW, and safely removed
GAME_IMPEFECT_SOUND flag to Perfect Soldiers [Angelo Salese]

Fix a bug in makedep which will caused includes on the first line of
the file like in skyraid.h to be ignored. [Couriersud]

Added working sound to Dogyuun and V-Five
[Roberto Zandona', Alex Jackson]

toaplan2 improvements [Alex Jackson]

determine once we start decrypting it
* Put #ifndef USE_ENCRYPTED_V25S around some simulation crap that was
hiding in fixeight's DRIVER_INIT

segapcm.c: Fixed loop address, hangon engine sounds better now. Also
included documentation in source of known register functions. [hap]

madalien.c: Fixed highlighting in tunnel. [Qwi Jibo]

Fixed regressed flip screen support in Toaplan 2 games [David Haywood]

Changed the discrete sound system to be class based: [Couriersud]
* Former modules are now classes being derived from
discrete_base_node
* Moved all context variables to be private class members.
* For "standard nodes", DISCRETE_CLASS_STEP_RESET provides a simple
way to implement a node.
* All information around a node (additional info struct, constants
and input mappings may be defined on a class level centralizing
all information. An example is dss_inverter_osc.
* Significantly simplified the task handling.
* Fixed a bug which would not buffer secondary outputs.
* All lists in sound/disc_* are now based on dynamic_array_t
(discrete.h)
* Changed all drivers to reflect the changes.
* Custom modules are now just another node class.
* No performance hit observed due to these changes.

Improvements to goldnpkr.c [Roberto Fresca]
* Lots of changes to get working the Video Klein games.
* Renamed witchcde to witchjol --> Jolly Witch (Export, 6T/12T ver
1.57D).
* Added Wild Witch (Export, 6T/12T ver 1.74A).
* New video hardware and machine driver for Video Klein's extended

Grounds, Lord Nightmare, Aaron Giles]

M6801 changes: [Curt Coder]
* added operating mode enum
* fixed port writes
* implemented SCI status follower bits

toaplan2:
* Found a few more fixeight opcodes, by matching code in the
interrupt routines with batsugun [Alex Jackson]
* Corrected fixeight V25 address map (the YM2151 and OKI6295 are at a
different location than the other games) [Alex Jackson]
* Preliminary implementation of V25/V35 port output [Alex Jackson]

Optimized RC_INTEGRATE and TRANSFORM. Nice improvement. [Couriersud]

Changed all "output[0] = ..." into "set_output(0, ..)" calls. Rewrote
modules using "output[0]" as a latch as well. The purpose is to
decouple nodes from the discrete infrastructure implementation.
[Couriersud]

Added a virtual stream update function to the device sound interface.
Added a new stream_create that takes fewer parameters and calls the
device's stream update. Removed the stream update stub template.
Updated BSMT2000 and OKIM6295 to use the new interface for their
streams. [Aaron Giles]

fixeight: hooked up EEPROM [David Haywood]

Added preliminary working sound to beezer. [Lord Nightmare]

M6801 changes: [Curt Coder]
* implemented port 3 strobed mode
* fixed port writes some more

Discrete subsystem now uses the sound_device stream_update function.
[Couriersud]

Improve nmi handling in mouser. [Couriersud]

i8085.c: Fixed inte callback not being called when the IE flag was
cleared after the CPU received an interrupt. This fixes interrupts in
n8080.c helifire and spacelnc. [Qwi Jibo]

raiden2: Write down the rather weird results of a series of tests
[dox, O. Galibert]

Added "-syncrefresh" option to osd/sdl. This will *limit* the game
speed to the video refresh rate and works in -mt mode as well. The
option has an effect only if "-waitsync" is specified.
[Couriersud, Chris Kennedy]

Fixed 01004: chinhero, chinhero2, chinherot: There is a bad sprite on
level 7 of the game. [Corrado Tomaselli, Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Added
sprites wrap around-y in Chinese Hero to fix gorilla sprites entering
from the left [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

* Fix carry flag issue on add/subtract in ARM mode

cb2001: reworked interrupt [Alex Jackson]

720 - added Driver Configuration option to allow the controls to be
set to Real 720 Controller Input; fake joystick; or fake spinner. It
defaults to fake spinner for mouse/spinner use. [Derrick Renaud]

Changed the Analog Controls menu to only list controls selected in the
Driver Configuration. [Derrick Renaud]

ARM7 updates [Tim Schuerewegen]:
* Fixed "MOV x, R15, LSL #y" form as tested by ARMWrestler
* Added unimplemented Thumb MOV variant used by GBA Moto GP

Reorganized megadrive/sms sourcefiles for better sharing between
MAME/MESS. [Fabio Priuli]

NEC DSP updates [R. Belmont, byuu, Dr. Decapitator]:
* Now supports uPD7725 and uPD96050
* Hooked up SNES common code to use uPD96050 for ST-010/011
* Removed ST-010 HLE simulation

Display suggestions in case commands that require game name are
called and there were no matching games [Miodrag Milanovic]

Carved out a discrete_sound_device from discrete_device. This now has
all the stream related code. discrete_device thus now contains all the
generic code and may be used going forward to implement not sound
related use cases. [Couriersud]
