0.79

New System Drivers Supported (in no particular order):
------------------------------------------------------
- [MSX2] Sony HB-F700P (Sean Young)
- [MSX2] NMS 8245 and NMS 8255 (Sean Young)
- [MSX] National FS-4000 (Sean Young)
- [MSX] Sony HB-75P (Sean Young)



System Driver Changes:
----------------------
- [APPLE2] Fixed a regression in caching disk data that would cause data to
  be lost when switching disks, or for switching disks to not be acknowledged.
  [Nate Woods]

- [MSX] Rewrote memory emulation.
  * Adds support for subslots
  * Proper memory layout for the MSX2 drivers, with the diskrom
    in a subslot of slot 3.
  * Adds support for Konami's Sound Cartridge (128kb)
  * Adds support for Korean 90-in-1 
  * Adds support for Kanji ROM

  If no cartridges are supplied, it sets the Sound Cartridge in slot 1
  and the FM-PAC in slot 2. The Snatcher, SD-Snatcher and the Konami
  Game Collections now work. Note that Sound Cartridge also behaves as a 
  normal SCC.

  With one cartridge supplied the FM-PAC is still set in slot 2 so 
  R-Type and other ROM cartridges can still use it. [Sean Young]

- [SUPERBRD] Updated driver with a better BIOS set and keyboard layout and
  added sound.  [Claudio Nieder]



User Interface Changes:
-----------------------
- [Windows GUI] Minor bug fixes regarding software listing and CRC
  calculations with respect to clone and compatible drivers. [Nate Woods]



Imgtool Changes:
----------------
(none)


Source Changes:
----------------
- The core is based on MAME 0.79.  This incorporates all features of the
  update to this core.  [MAME team]

- As a consequence of the MAME 0.79 core, which has massive changes
  to the memory system, there is a greater likelyhood of regressions
  in this MESS release (as with MAME.)

- Introduced automated messtest testing facility, in order to prevent
  regressions in the future.  [Nate Woods]

- Internal error reporting enhancements for image loading; still some work to
  do.  [Nate Woods]
