Updated segac2 driver to use updated megadriv code. [David Haywood]
Moved fantasia -> expro02.c, however, the extra layer is misplaced on it. Scroll regs probably differ from the original. [David Haywood]
PsikyoSH: hook up VBL IRQ ack [R. Belmont]
SH2: fix DRC's handling of internally generated IRQs, and fix compiling in interpreter mode. [R. Belmont]

Large update to comments in smstrv.c for SMS Manufacturing boards. Documented how the input/output ports are hooked up, and what the PALS do, still need to document the video output port and add the smssshot roms, and actually hook stuff up (like the z80) based on the comments. [Lord Nightmare]
Removed speedups from sokyugrt, they break the game (make it too slow) the SH2 DRC is sufficient. [David Haywood]
Did most of the protection work for Double Dealer. It appears to use a funky video register setting involving locations $8c1e0-8c1ef range for cards movements so it isn't playable yet. [Angelo Salese]
Added DIP LOCATIONS to items in the driver and cleaned up some of the comments mentioning duplicate dips configurations. Not fully understanding how the FREE PLAY was implemented, I left that not to show a location. [Tafoid]
