- megaplay.cpp
  . Try make start buttons work properly through BIOS. Demoted Mega Play to not working. Note: Driver is marked as NOT WORKING because interaction between BIOS and 68k side is not fully understood.  The BIOS often doesn't register that a game has been started and leaves the 'PRESS P1 OR P2 START' message onscreen during gameplay as a result. If this happens, the games usually then crash when you run out of lives as they end up in an unknown state.
  . Log the internal P1/P2 Start activity to make it more obvious where things are going wrong
- midzeus.cpp: Map proper * key to keypad

- Alcon: Added MCU to clone Slap Fight (A76 set, GX-006-A PCB) (Game now playable)
- Alligator Hunt: Added new DS5002FP SRAM dump to Alligator Hunt (Spain, protected) (Game now playable). Data was verified using a 2nd board, only 1 byte changed in the code area, data table is also verified by checksum in the code, and by the unprotected set as reference. This is a good read.
- Ameri-Hockey
  . Make Z8 CPU data space optional and fixed stack pop semantics. Mask addresses for external memory accesses based on P0 control bit and external stack accesses.
  . Fixed C flag polarity for CP, SBC, SUB and actually subtract with carry in SBC. This lets Ameri-Hockey pass its initial checksum calculation.
  . Interrupts are working now (Z8681 CPU; cpu\z8\z8.cpp)
- Big Event Golf: Added DAC (cup in, crowd applauses samples)
- Blood Bros: Prevent mistimed interrupts that were killing sound in clone West Story (bootleg of Blood Bros.)
- Borderline: Added sound samples (http://www.progettosnaps.net/samples/brdrline.zip)
- Buggy Challenge
  . Removed NMI trampolines. Added details and mirrors to memory map based on schematics. Added note about the maybe unused scoreboard hookup, similar to Grand Champion.
  . Fixed sound timer irq frequency, fixes enter initials BGM tempo.
  . Fixed background pen and clipping enable (fixes title screen and stage 3 graphics). Converted accelerator to analog, proper sound irq frequency.
  . Fixed PORT_SERVICE_DIPLOC in conflict with IPT_SERVICE, causing F2 to toggle service to not work.
  . Wrote a new device for TA7630, hooked it up to Buggy Challenge.

  . Moved vblank irq generation for Ninja Clowns, fixes frames per second jerkiness.
- QB-3: Fixed missing AY-3-8910 sound (ID 06682)
- Quiz Punch II: Emulated COP402 MCU. Rewrote the COP400 execution control logic to fetch each byte of an instruction separately in one pass of the main loop. This provides EEPROM-compatible timing for the SIO shift register, allowing the 93C46 on Quiz Punch II to be read and written properly (though its default contents are a bad dump).
- Panic Road: Demoted Panic Road to MACHINE_NOT_WORKING. Playtesting shows that the collisions aren't right.
- PinMAME: Added meat to the bones to inderp.cpp and stargame.cpp
- Pocket Gal Deluxe: Added vblank ack
- Return of the Invaders: Fixed colors in clone (bootleg no MCU set 3)

- MAME
  . VIDEO RENDERING SYSTEM
    . PNG
      . Make verify_header public (util\png.cpp)
      . Detect image format(png) before loading image. No PNG error message anymore when loading JPG (emu\rendlay.cpp).
  . Multi-Language: Updated Dutch, Turkish and Russian translations
  . Returning a reference from various corestr.cpp calls to avoid unnecessary string copies (util\corestr.cpp)
  . Fixed warning message (ui\info.cpp)
  . PLUGINS
    . Fixed is_oneshot() (cheat\init.lua). Fixed cheats driven by     . Gettextify localizable strings ( "" -> _("") )
    . Updated hiscore.dat
  . LUA engine: Translation support
  . Validity
    . MAME -validate will now report an error if no matches occur. Fixed exit status (emu\validity.cpp).
    . Added a natural keyboard validation to check for valid natural keyboard (uni)codes (emu\ioport.cpp and validity.cpp)
  . UI
    . Don't translate info box titles twice (ui\datmenu.cpp, ui\selmenu.cpp)
    . Bug fix for network menu (ui\miscmenu.cpp)
    . Merged duplicate code for drawing UI palette menu
    . Use std::unique_ptr to manage instances of slider_state (ui\slider.h). Eliminate now-unnecessary machine parameter (ui\ui.cpp).
    . Don't use auto_alloc for temporary bitmaps (ui\selmenu.cpp). Eliminated last use of auto_alloc in frontend (ui\ui.cpp).
  . AUDIT/ROMLOAD/LISTXML
    . Defer decoding DOS timestamps (util\unzip.cpp)
    . Turn most of the ROM entry accessor macros into templates, and make them work on tiny_rom_entry/rom_entry pointers/references, also claw back a little performance lost in the ROM entry refactoring.
    . Make ROM BIOS reported in listxml output match what ROM loading does. This is the soure of the "BIOS can only apply to one region" meme - it actually works for all regions, but the listxml output was wrong, making it look like it didn't work.
    . Start adding stuff for iterating ROM entries in a more C++ way without needing to allocate everywhere, improved performance of -listxml by another 10% or so.
  . Attempted to sanitize/rationalize how we access UTF-8 command line arguments. Specifically, this creates a call osd_get_command_line() that returns UTF-8 command line arguments as std::vector.  On non-Windows platforms, this does nothing more than build the vector.  On Windows, this invokes GetCommandLineW() and CommandLineToArgvW(). This also attempts to unwind usage of wmain()/_tmain() on Windows, which is not standard. Related to this, this fixes a bug in Imgtool; specifically, non-7 bit ASCII was not being handled correctly in Windows. This is really an admission that the way that Windows handles Unicode and command line arguments sucks, and it is my belief that having a wmain() or _tmain() declaration specific for Windows is a worse solution [Nathan Woods].
  . Added support for C++ output streams using LOG_OUTPUT_STREAM instead of using printf as LOG_OUTPUT_FUNC (emu\logmacro.h)
- SDLMAME: Make the C-like parts more consistent with MAME (tools\aueffectutil.mm)
