  . Changed audio emulation to emulate borrow 3 clock delay and proper channel reset
  . New frequency only becomes effective after the counter hits 0
  . Emulation also treats counters as 8 bit counters which are linked now instead of monolytic 16 bit counters
  . Fixed high pass filters for POKEY

  . Fixed random lfsr generation
  . Consolidated polynom code
  . Removed legacy left overs from pokey code

- TC8830F sound: Preliminary Toshiba TC8830F emulation (see Chance Kun)
- TIA sound: Fixed TIA crashes caused by uninitialized variable
- I8251 UART: "Reset" bit is only documented to revert to looking for a mode byte, not reset the entire chip.
- 8255 PPI
  . Updating MAME drivers to use modern i8255 implementation instead of the legacy one (aristmk4.c, astinvad.c, cb2001.c, clayshoo, dribling, epos.c, fortecar, freekick.c, galaxian.c, gatron.c, gei.c, goldstar.c, homerun.c, igs009.c, igs017.c, imolagp, iqblock.c, kingdrby, kungfur, lordgun.c, lucky74, merit.c, meritm.c, pcxt.c, pipeline, rgum, scobra.c, scramble.c, segag80r.c, sfkick, skylncr.c, slotcarn.c, sms.c, statriv2.c, subsino.c, system1.c, taxidriv, tcl, tx1.c, vroulet, zaccaria.c and zaxxon.c)
  . Fixed I8255 port C-lower mask in port A mode 2. Fixed obvious bug with port C-lower output.
  . Razzmatazz/Ixion doesn't have a 8255
- 68681 DUART
  . Fix for counter mode making SC4 not assert (machine/68681.c)
  . Timers start immediately; unlike counters they don't wait for a start command.
  . Fixed MC68681 generation of spurious interrupts, and provide ASSERT/CLEAR states to the IRQ callback.
- Floppy
  . ap2_dsk (MESS): Preliminary, working RWTS18 decoding support; Decodes disks and shows ascii text; not sure if sectors are in the correct order yet.
  . Fixed uninitialized variable that causes random assertion failure in snapquik.c
  . Fixed to read tags from DiskCopy 4.2 files properly (formats/ap_dsk35.c). Lisa requires this.
- CHDMAN
  . Fix for output of TOC and GDI content on extractcd option (ID 04728)
  . Changed error message to be more descriptive to actual error that occurs when a .dif file version doesn't match the CHD version. Hopefully, this will all but stop the seemingly never ending questions about the error (util/chd.c).
- Crystals: Update comment (emu\drivers\xtal.h)
- Flash ROM: Intel 28F320J3D flash support
- astrocde.c: Get rid of anonymous timer (savestate problem)
- bfm_sc2.c
  . Corrected some off by one errors in DM01 dot matrix emulation, while making it a bit more generic. Ultimately, it will plug into Scorpion 2 and 4 hardware.
  . This is phase 2 of the DMD changes, creating a new '5 dot' element to make it more like the actual DM01 (which uses 5 by 7 blocks, but wires them up row wise to a buffer, giving an unusual '65 dot row') (emu\rendlay.c, layout/awpdmd.lay, bfm_dm01.c).
  . Finally done the last part of the dotmatrix changes, which is to create a dot by dot display mode. This makes the BFMDM01 emulation far more straightforward, and should mean that anyone wanting a matrix can call some combination of functions and make it work.
  . Fix for crashing bfm_sc2.c sets
- bfm_sc4.c: DUART fix for counter mode making SC4 not assert (machine\68681.c)

- megadriv.c: Initial work in preparation for some modernization on the whole driver, starting with better splitting of actual drivers (megadriv.c, megacd.c, mega32x.c, megasvp.c and megavdp.c)
- megatech.c: Added BIOS Ver 0
- namcops2.c: Documentation addition of a list of known Namco System 246/256 games until something more official is created

- playch10.c: Fixed IRQ regression in some PlayChoice G-Board games by simply importing MMC3 IRQ code from MESS.

  . Port changed regression fix and fix for PORT_CONDITION regression (emu/ioport.c) and cleanup
  . Set m_cursetting to NULL (emu/ioport.c) since must not be set in case of onoff_alloc, this fixes validation too.
