in the source file for the disassembler (sometimes new generic
versions were created)

* Executed a trojan on 2 noraut systems to confirm the way 16x32
tiles are decoded.

* Created lamps layouts for 11 and 12-lamps scheme.
* Rerouted some inputs to mantain the inputs layout.
* Renamed some inputs to match the text with the real cab buttons.
* Removed the imperfect colors flag from the existent sets.
* Added 2 different control panel layouts to the source.
* Updated technical notes.

Fixed redundancy in clock speed assignments in some drivers by
cleaning all divided by 1 (/1) instances. [Tafoid]

Argonaut SuperFX core improvements: [Anonymous]
- Hooked up Branch instructions
- Fixed numerous SuperFX core bugs.
- Improved disassembler to more gracefully handle ALT* opcode effects.
- Corrected instruction behaviors: STOP, SUB, SBC, SUBI, CMP
- Added LSR and ROL opcodes
- Updated instructions to use the safer superfx_gpr_write: LOOP,
PLOT, INC, DEC
- Added missing register writeback to LMS
- Corrected carry flag behavior in ROL opcode
- Corrected BRA target address calculation (maybe still wrong)
- Corrected LOOP target address calculation
- Made sure that FROM sets cpustate->sreg_idx
- Disabled RAM/ROM clocking, going with instant transfer for now
- Understood and re-enabled pipelined instruction architecture, Star
Fox runs farther
- Fixed a ridiculous typo in ROL instruction
- Fixed overflow flag calculation on ADDI / ADCI
- Fixed lack of register reset after ADD / ADC / ADDI / ADCI

tmaster.c update [Luca Elia]
- implemented carts banking and multiple EEPROMs
- added "pen replacement" blit mode
- fixed palette size

Discrete work [couriersud]
- change the way custom modules are handled
- updated drivers mario and dkong accordingly
- minor change to stream input handling
- no more linear lists for nodes. All node processing switched to
linked lists.
- module step and reset now only get a node pointer passed
- Added discrete_info * pointer to node
- Only nodes with a step routine actually get processed.
- Fixed a bug: discrete logs did not work since some time
- preliminary parallel task constants; depending on results these may
vanish again.
- Overall slight performance increase. dkong 940% to 960%, galaxian
740% to 790%

Fix NULL timers crash in the mc6845. [hap]

Fixed IM2 interrupt cycles in the Z80 core. [eke]

- Decoded all protection data for B.Rap Boys
[David Haywood, Tomasz Slanina]
- Cleaned up decryption function for B.Rap Boys external Rom
[David Haywood]
- Improved video emulation for B.Rap Boys [David Haywood]
- Marked several GFX roms as bad on B.Rap Boys [David Haywood]

addresses, allowing B.Rap Boys to boot [Tomasz Slanina]
- Redumped GFX Roms [Guru]

running out of ram and crashing [David Haywood]

- Added eeprom support to the B Rap Boys protection simulation
[David Haywood]

[David Haywood]

Added correct U2 sound ROM to the mk3 sets [MK3Fan - Mike]

Discrete sound parallel tasks support: [couriersud]
- Introduced DISCRETE_TASK_START, DISCRETE_TASK_END
- DISCRETE_TASK_START: Start a new task. A task is a set of nodes
which only depend on input nodes and nodes in the set
- DISCRETE_TASK_END(task_output_node): Marks the end of the task.
task_output_node is the node whose output over time should be
preserved. This node can be accessed by nodes in the main thread.
- Illustrated the concept in the dkong discrete emulation. This also
has been enhanced to buffer DAC output.
- Discrete tasks now support multiple task output nodes

Further discrete changes: [couriersud]
- DISCRETE_OUTPUT now is a stepping node.
- DISCRETE_STREAM_INPUT now advances input pointer in step.
- More linked_list usage.

Pit Boss driver updates: [Brian Troha]
- Corrected rom names for the Megastar & Supertouch 30
- Added missing rom to Supertouch 30 and verified old bad_dumps
- Added documentation about the Megastar sets
- Made pbst30b a clone of pbst30 and added program versions to the
name, IE: Pit Boss Supertouch 30 (9234-10-01)

Fixed B-Rap Boys sound banking [Phil Bennett]

Sigma Poker: Fixed duplicated definition of Hold 2 button. Added the
missing Hold 3 button. [Roberto Fresca]

Continued discrete sound system "list-ification": [couriersud]
- No more constraints on number of input and output nodes
- input nodes now make use of a context

Removed osd_is_bad_read_ptr function. [Aaron Giles]
