- New drivers: gkigt.cpp and sanremmg.cpp
- New devices: meters
- New Compile Tools: MSYS2 (POSIX/Unix compatability layer) (http://mamedev.org/tools/)
- New Cheat.dat: http://cheat.retrogames.com/
- I8086 CPU: (MESS) CPUID.ASM (Bob Smith 1985) suggests that in situations where m_no_interrupt is 1, (directly after POP SS / MOV_SREG), single step  IRQs don't fire.
- i960kb CPU: More potential workouts for the I960 CPU. Added IGT Game King games (gkigt.cpp).
- M68020 CPU: Fixed (020+) bfins results and Z flag (m68000\m68k_in.cpp)
- TMP95C063 CPU: Added analog inputs

  . Fixed accumulator conditions (32051ops.inc)
- Beep sound: BEEP device clock() added, instead of default frequency of 3250 (see babypac, destiny, granny and pentacup). Removed set_volume.
- DISCRETE sound: Getting rid of global_alloc_array_clear at least, clearing is essential to objects in vector_t so that is why previous attempt did not work (sound\discrete.h)
- RF5C400 sound: Added external memory r/w function
- S14001A sound
  . Added optional devcb callbacks for mem read and BSY pin. Set default amp to 15.
  . Added more accurate SSi S14001A speech chip emulation, written by one of the people at SSi who originally laid out the S14001a silicon in 1974/5! (http://www.vintagecalculators.com/html/speech-.html).

  . Added savestates to new s14001a_device
- SCSP sound: Make ST-V not crash. coolridr defines a region for the RAM, stv driver doesn't. Uses set_ram_base instead, which seems to be more correct anyway.
- YM2608 sound: Null pointer bad (YM2608 YM_DELTAT_ADPCM_Reset; sound\fm.cpp)
- 6821 PIA: Stop PIA from spamming debug console by default
- ATAPI: Try to fix a problem when m_buffer_size is not a multiple of sector size (machine\atapihle.cpp). When reading sectors using the packet command, if the "Byte count limit" is not a multiple of the sector size, only a subset of the data will be transferred. It happens sometimes with the Xbox.
- Atari Custom

- Voodoo GFX: Shuffle some code around, move included code to .inc file, easier to read / understand than the self-include. also kill off the old rasterizer path, the new one seems to work fine, so it's essentially dead code, hopefully nobody has an issue with this [David Haywood].
- 20pacgal.cpp, 8080bw.cpp, pasha2.cpp, segas18.cpp, whitestar.cpp and witch.cpp: Switched driver to configured banking and removed the now unneeded postload.
- 40love.cpp

- bagman.cpp: Fixed prom region lengths in Bagman, Super Bagman and clones
- berzerk.cpp: Small cleanup
- chihiro.cpp
  . Improved support for fixed function pipeline
  . Added simple superio support and more USB. Bytes sent to the supoerio's first rs232 port wil be echoed on the console, this way it is possible to see the ouput of the OutputDebugString function.
  . Try to fix a problem when m_buffer_size is not a multiple of sector size (machine\atapihle.cpp). When reading sectors using the packet command, if the "Byte count limit" is not a multiple of the sector size, only a subset of the data will be transferred. It happens sometimes with the Xbox.

- Arkanoid
  . Added emulation of the 68705 timer and timer interrupts
  . Fixed bugs with MCU port c ddr handling, latches and edge detection, added missing interrupt on Z80 write to MCU, and removed a boost interleave hack which was made unnecessary by these fixes. 
  . Switched the Arkanoid (older) sets to use original Taito A75 06 MCU code as opposed to the bootleg MCU code used until now. The 3 (newer) and 1 Tournament sets still use hand-hacked bootleg MCU code until original MCU chips can be dumped and/or decapped.
  . All 9 of the dumped Arkanoid MCU code roms now work, if hooked up to the appropriate drivers.
  . Hooked the now-working 'deprotected Taito' MCU dump up to arkanoidjbl. Added an alternate gfx rom dumped from an original 'older' US board. Minor comment fixes.
  . Set YM2149 emulation to mix channels the same way the real pcb mixes them, by directly tying them together with no mixing resistors. This introduces some distortion, but is more accurate to actual pcb audio.
  . Added note about the number of optical quadrature slots (24) the arkanoid 1:20 geared spinner's quadrature wheel. 
- Battle Cross: Fixed flipscreen (ID 04900)
- Bombs Away [TTL]: Andew Welburn redumped Meadows Bombs Away. Dump matched, but we have slightly more info on the PCB now.

- Fast Invaders
  . Make Fast Invaders show something, although as we have schems we should probably just use them. Start adding devices.
  . Some improvements. Added 93427 prom.
- Hana Jingi: Worked around long standing save state problem in clone Hana Oriduru (Japan)

  . Some nullptr -> 0x00 and NULL -> nullptr. PORT_C*_MEMBER cleanup.
- Debugger
  . Update debugcon.h: Increased MAX_COMMAND PARAMS and MAX_COMMAND_LENGTH to quadruple their previous size. The previous values did not have the capacity to allow trace logging of all registers at the same time in some CPUS.  Setting the maximum to 128 should allow for capturing of systems with large symbolic lists (such as Playstation) if needed. For example, the following command would throw an error when trace logging a 68000 CPU because the maximum parameters (16) would be reached when attempting to capture all registers: trace 68K.log,0,{tracelog "A0=%08X, A1=%08X, A2=%08X, A3=%08X, A4=%08X, A5=%08X, A6=%08X, A7=%08X, D0=%08X, D1=%08X, D2=%08X, D3=%08X, D4=%08X, D5=%08X, D6=%08X, D7=%08X ",a0,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,a7,d0,d1,d2,d3,d4,d5,d6,d7}. [Con Huevos Guey].
  . Fixed vertical scrollbar on large windows (such as the program space of an i386)
  . Added various keyboard shortcuts and pass keypresses to the debug view with input focus
  . Prevent keypresses from passing through to internal debugger windows while the windows are hidden
  . Fixed input regression in internal debugger window editors
  . Make internal debugger menu remember its currently selected item, to help make switching CPUs/regions/options easier. Also, set all windows to visible only on initial display.
  . Disable debugging in windows\ledutil.cpp
  . QT (debugger\qt): Removed usage of NO_MEM_TRACKING macro
  . Simplify emu\debugger.cpp. Created debugger_manager.
  . Fixed bug debugging drivers with ES5510 core, possibly some others that do not have AS_PROGRAM at all (debug\dvdisasm.cpp).
