Source Changes
--------------
Fix for inverted RON / REACH buttons in kiwames [Angelo Salese, Fujix]
Ported PC CGA device emulation from MESS to MAME, and updated Filetto and Tetris (KR) to use it accordingly [Angelo Salese]
Added proper background hook-up for Tetris KR [Angelo Salese]
Added preliminary superimposing flag for CGA, and implemented for Tetris KR, now it properly mixes between CGA graphics and external background [Angelo Salese]
Added 'buzzer' sound to Filetto and Tetris KR [Angelo Salese]
CPS-1 update [Team CPS-1]:
* Dumped and added MB63B.1A PAL to slammast and clones (Kold666)
* Fixed mbomberj, mbombrd, mbombrdj Q-Sound ROMs labels and locations, added Q-Sound PALs
Worked around 0x3d8 VGA reading, and fixed California Chase in using the right VGA card [Angelo Salese]
Hooked up a proper VGA card for Psychic Force 2012 (waiting for further info about the VGA card used) [Angelo Salese]
Added Tourvision bios ver. 52 [f205v, Corrado Tomaselli]
Fixed Atari logo bad colors at POST in Area 51:Site 4 [Angelo Salese]
Change 'screen' parameter in SCREEN_UPDATE and SCREEN_EOF callbacks to a reference. Remove redundant machine parameter from SCREEN_EOF. Remove old vestiges of driver_device video_eof override since it wasn't being used. Update all multi-screen games to use separate functions for each screen (calling into common code where appropriate). [Aaron Giles]
i8251: Implemented transmit and receive data callbacks [barry Rodewald]
arm7: implemented MMU permission faults [Tim Schuerewegen]
arm7: return correct MMU ID Code register values for ARM920T/ARM7500 [Tim Schuerewegen]
s3c24xx: lots of changes for future Happy Fish 302-in-1 and Palm Z22 (mess) drivers [Tim Schuerewegen]
chdman: fixed -extractcd of images with postgaps. CHDs do not need reconversion, this was an -extractcd problem only. [R. Belmont]
Implemented every single documented x87 co-processor opcodes in 386+ CPU cores [Angelo Salese]
Converted bitmap_t and rectangle into proper classes. Replaced BITMAP_ADDR* macros with bitmap->pix* functions, and moved bitmap_fill() to bitmap->fill() among other similar changes. Bitmap fields now only available via accessors. Replaced sect_rect with &= and union_rect with |= operators for rectangle classes. Some general cleanup as a result of these changes. [Aaron Giles]
Implemented generic functions for RDMSR and WRMSR opcodes in Pentium CPU core (i.e. no MSR is actually hooked up so far) [Angelo Salese]
Hooked up device in Savage Quest, dies at floppy error [Angelo Salese]
Hooked up devices for X-Tom 3d, gets to BOOT error if you soft reset once [Angelo Salese]
segae.c: Updated driver to use the implementation from src/emu/video/315_5124.c and modernized driver. [Enik Land, Wilbert Pol]
Bulk converted cliprect * to cliprect & across the system. This makes cliprects mandatory everywhere. In general, cliprects were being correctly passed through the video side of most drivers already, so it is mostly a semantic change. Note that with my previous change, bitmaps have cliprects, so if you just want to clip to the bitmap's boundaries, pass bitmap->cliprect() instead of NULL (which is no longer permitted). [Aaron Giles]
68HC05: CLR instruction should not affect the carry flag. Verified with Freescale programmer's manual. [R. Belmont]
Hooked up basic devices in Queen and Midway Quicksilver HWs [Angelo Salese]
mcr.c: added twotiger stereo 8-track tape sample playback [italie, Mr. Do, hap]
Bulk conversion of bitmap_t * to bitmap_t & . With this change the parameters for the global SCREEN_UPDATE callback match the parameters for the driver_device version. Added allocate() and deallocate() methods to bitmap_t to permit cleaner handling of bitmaps in drivers and modern devices. [Aaron Giles]
m680x0: fix case where the MMU trashed memory [R. Belmont]
Removed machine.generic.tmpbitmap, VIDEO_START(generic_bitmapped), and SCREEN_UPDATE(generic_bitmapped). In their place, each screen_device now maintains a default bitmap which is automatically copied to the screen on each update if no SCREEN_UPDATE function is provided and if no driver_device::video_update override is present. This bitmap can be found by querying the screen's new default_bitmap() method. [Aaron Giles]
Hooked up devices and flash loading for Funky Ball, game currently dies at a Voodoo color DAC register check [Angelo Salese]
Removed old C-based interface to astrings. astring exists only as a class now. Updated all stragglers (mostly tools) to use the class form. [Aaron Giles]
[MCS48] Fixed I8021/I8022 clock divider. [Curt Coder]
CPS-3 update [Team CPS-1]:
* Dumped and added Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Euro BIOS, unlocked 2 new sets

aquarium.c: removed region hack, fixed offtune music, fixed testmode [hap]
chdman: don't be case sensitive on the input type extension [R. Belmont]
OS/2 updates [KO Myung-Hun]
Fix four spc700 opcodes which didn't disassemble correctly [kevtris]
i386: Moved stack changes to be after protection checks in RETF and IRET Made ARPL protected mode only Added protection checks when MOVing to a segment register. [barry Rodewald]
Added delayed interrupts in idectrl to enable booting on some older bioses [Carl]
scsihd.c: Get sector size from CHD metadata to support old 256 bytes/sector SASI drives, and allow hard disk image subdevices. [Curt Coder]
started converting steppers to simulate actual behavior in a more logical way, rather than using hardcoded tables [J. Wallace]
PGM driver cleanups. [David Haywood]
Rainbow Island driver cleanups + rename to avoid mess conflict [David Haywood]
Improved puzzli2 protection simulation [iq132]
