- TMP68301 CPU: Fixed masking of parallel data register
- V60 CPU: Added 'NEC Semiconductor Selection Guide Book' comments
- RF5C400 sound: Document some registers
- TMS5110 sound
  . Added correct CD2802 chirp rom from decap (sound\tms5110r.inc)
  . Replaced the frame parse and speech generation code from tms5110.c with the code from tms5220.c, should be significantly more accurate and allow the cores to be much more easily merged in the future. This also allowed finally getting rid of the COEFF_ENERGY_SENTINEL hack in tms5110r.inc.
  . Updated the interpolation tables to use the "IP" (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) instead of logical (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,0) order. Fixing the initial coefficient index values.
  . Removed target_x variables in favor of reloading from coefficient ROM during the generation loop (as the real device does). Implemented proper ZPAR and unvoiced ZPAR logic for zeroing parameters during idle and unvoiced frames. Changed the pitch zeroing logic during frame inhibit to last an entire interpolation period rather than one sample. Replaced the speech-is-synthesizing state machine with the original patent TALK, TALKD and SPEN bits. Redid the talk_status logic to use (TALKD || SPEN) as the real device does. Fixed stupid typo, doesn't fix the cvs.c Gold Bug sound inconsistency yet.
- TMS5220 sound
  . Minor cleanups to TMS5220 so savestate and member variables are in the same order. Added a missing savestate entry. Fixing the initial coefficient index values.
  . Fixed interpolation on TMS52xx to match samples from real chip
- 8251 UART: Separated rx and tx data buffers. Updated (MESS) HP 64000 driver.

- Discrete Netlist
  . Improved MB3614 parameters. Changed some opamps to type "idealized" (type 1) in Congo Bongo netlist and got 50% speed improvement.
  . Added simple stream classes to netlist code
  . Added emu\netlist to include dirs to avoid relative paths in netlist include files. Removed relative paths in include statements.
  . More usage of streams and aligned exception use
  . utf8 support for pstring. Opted for a scalable solution which should be easily extensible to utf16 and utf32 as well. All position related operations now operate on char code positions instead of byte positions.
  . Make netlist more typesafe. Added a pformat class to reduce sprintf usage. The approach is also suitable for translated strings with arbitrary positioning of parameters.
  . Removed vsscanf from netlist. Changed default format for double to "g".
  . Changed UINT16 - UINT64 to generic types in pformat
  . Some netlist_time maintenance. Straightened code using it and added support for 128 bit resolution on systems supporting it. This is however disabled since all platforms I know don't have native support but emulate 128 bit.
  . Converted USE_PIVOT into runtime option PIVOT. Fixed some issues for nl_double == float.
  . Increase performance from 53% to 69% for matrix size around 30x30. These matrices are e.g. used in Congo Bongo without optimisation.
  . Created a separate logging class. Netlist code should now be at least 98% type safe. No more fuzzing around with SIZEFMT and friends. Changed formatting to use python style format strings.
  . Moved nltool.c and nlwav.c into netlist\prg. Added netlist\build\makefile. This allows netlist to be ripped out of the tree and to compile it standalone.
- Flash ROM
  . Added support for TMS29F040 variant (machine\intelfsh.c)
  . Fixed typos in machine\intelfsh.c (AMD_29F400T and AMD_29F800T)

  . Added NVRAMs. Patch flash checksum for now
  . Fixed battery status
- legionna.c and raiden2.c: Fixed negative float to unsigned int implicit conversion in machine\raiden2cop.c. This caused issues on ARM hosts where result of such conversion is always 0. Casting the negative float to signed int resolves the issue. Without this fix some sprites had wrong rotation and also bullet direction was not always correct on ARM host. The fix was tested on Intel and ARM host, both platform work OK [ole00].
- leland.c: Try to prevent mode 2 triggering twice in PIT8253. Fixes horrible audio sound and DAC sounds differently between 32-bit and 64-bit (ID 05377) (ID 05709) (ID 05435).

  . Audiocpu runs in im1, no point setting an interrupt vector. Plug in xtal values from PCB picture.
- Crime Fighters
  . Verified some things from the schematics
  . Full memory map and proper irq set/clear for the audio cpu
  . Added mirrors for watchdog/coincount/audioirq ports (address decoding pals need to be dumped for more improvements)
  . Added coin b settings, not used in game but can be verified in service mode.
  . The system can read back some bankswitch port values using the port shared with dsw3, emulating this fixes the wrong status display of the service mode dipswitch in service mode (previously inverted).
  . Converted driver to bankdev. Audio cpu irq is cleared by the irq ack cycle.

- Gauntlet Legends and NFL Blitz '99
  . Added the gauntleg 1.2 -> 1.6 update roms to clone Gauntlet Legends (version 1.2) Smitdogg and rtw dumped a while back, and allow the driver to see them. Note, this is a 3 stage process, you boot the system with a different rom in the additional slot each time.
  . Recompressed the CHD in clone Gauntlet Legends (version 1.2) with -chs 4969,16,63 which are valid params for a Quantum Fireball 2.5GB (which based on what I can find online is the original drive type). This allows the updater program to work, so if you desire you can run it on the set and update the set to 1.6 as you would be able to do on original hardware.
  . Added blitz99 1.2 -> 1.3 update rom to clone NFL Blitz '99 (ver 1.2, Aug 28 1998). Enter Test mode with the upgrade ROM installed.

- Tempest: Reverted 0.136u4 flickering fix (MT03634) in video\avgdvg.c only for Tempest, not for Quantum. It breaks Tempest service mode. Maybe the flickering actually happened on real hardware sometimes, or wasn't visible due to the nature of the vector generator?
- Input port: Get rid of active_safe (emu\ioport.h)
- Dipswitch fixes in goldstar.c, monzagp.c and psikyosh.c
- Fixed rom names in capbowl.c, deco32.c, gunsmoke.c, konamigx.c and model3.c

- MAME
  . Changed flags from GAME_ to MACHINE_ (e.g. GAME_NOT_WORKING to MACHINE_NOT_WORKING). This better fits the drivers from MESS (which have always illogically used the GAME_ flags despite not being games) and also fits fine with arcade machines.
  . RGB utilities
    . Added the rest of the 3-bit palette variants (emu\emupal.c) and added the possiblity to set individual R/G/B levels for pens
    . Use standard 3-bit BRG, GBR, GRB, RBG or RGB palettes for 8080bw.c, amusco.c, astinvad.c, buster.c, dai3wksi.c, dynadice.c, gei.c, jollyjgr.c, mole.c, sstrangr.c and vpoker.c.
    . Use an explicit monochrome palette in 8080bw.c for spacecom and shuttlei
    . Use palette device for junofrst.c, mcr68.c, prosport (palette ram) and tutankhm.c
    . Use standard palette device ram for atarisy2.c, djmain.c, dynduke.c, galpanic.c, hng64.c, konamigx.c, macrossp.c, magic10.c, micro3d.c, midtunit.c, midwunit.c, midxunit.c, plygonet.c, senjyo.c (seperate standard palette and radar palette), system1.c and tasman.c.
    . Added support for inverted data palette ram and added more formats (emu\emupal.h)
    . Misc palette cleanups in mame\drivers\ and mame\includes\
    . Removed palette trampoline in amspdwy.c, bogeyman.c, btime.c, cmmb.c and jack.c
    . Added an adjustable global brightness (emu\screen.c). Use screen brightness instead of changing the palette in macrossp.c and removed some now unneeded functions/variables.
    . Added support for the IIBBGGRR format, only apply intensity bit if there is a color defined (emu\emupal.c).
    . Moved rgbi formats out of emupal.h
    . Updated bionicc.c palette handling 
  . Sync software list rom name validation with regular rom name validation (emu\softlist.c)
  . Activated dlair_1, dlair_2 and pkii_dm due to locating roms/adding to .lst files
  . Floppy
    . Don't truncate if format doesn't support save (imagedev\floppy.c)
    . Added Floppy drive sound with samples (floppy_35_motor and floppy_35_step). Step sound is now triggered on edge, not level. Added some state save items (imagedev\floppy.c). Invoke step on cylinder change.
  . Declare as HighDPI aware - application natively scales and doesn't require special support, except for OSD dialogs/debugger windows (windows\mame\mame.man). The default debugger _is_ highdpi aware already.
  . Added seconds() and attoseconds() to attotime and prefixed members with m_. Rewrote code accessing members to use seconds() and attoseconds(). The changes were triggered by a test how gcc __int128_t would perform as the internal representation. This test revealed that the current implementation is still faster.
  . Increased MAX_TEXTURE_SCALES to 16 (emu\render.h)
  . Reverted wav output fix from MAME 0.149u1 ("emu\video.c: recompute_speed even if we skip frame, makes wav's output same for any frameskip"). This broke auto-frameskipping. MAME was unable to correct itself after a hickup and would continue frameskipping and fluctuate speed between 95 and 105%.
  . Added missing header for va_list (3rdparty\mongoose\mongoose.h)
  . Removed dumb menuless_mode in ui\sliders.c
- MAC OS X: Fixed crash in osx\debugview.m
- MESS

  . Fixed template_driver.c compilation
  . OS/2 patches for MAME 0.164
- Debugger: Destroy window before destroying view. Destroying the focus window triggers a killfocus event. For cursor-supporting windows, this accesses the just-deleted view data, and then crashes.
