Force cpu resyncs main<->protection on pgm. [David Haywood]

trackfld cleanups: [Aaron Giles]
 - derived clocks where possible
 - complete memory maps from the schematics
 - hooked up proper sound command latching
 - reimplemented 6802-based ADPCM samples for the bootlegs
 - merged memory maps
 - extended NVRAM to the full RAM range (according to schematics)
 - created common include file and modified drivers to use it instead
    of explicit externs

Removed msb/lsb handlers from taitosnd. Updated all drivers to
call the 8-bit versions directly from the address maps. [Aaron Giles]

Did bulk replace of AM_READ/WRITE(SMH_NOP) -> AM_READ/WRITENOP.
[Aaron Giles]

Reverted recent TMS32025 timing change which busted Cool Pool sound.
[Olivier Galibert]

exctsccr update: [Uki]
 - verified clock frequency (including 4KHz NMI)
 - position 6A is not populated in JAPAN ver.
 - sound tempo is wrong in all sets (with or without this change)
 - clock for AY-3-8910 is 14.31818M/8 except for main melody

taito_l input updates: [Fabio Priuli]
 * added plgirls cheat dip-switch [found by Gatinho]
 * added plgirls2 coin mode B

Fixed crshrace coinage dips. [stephh, Fabio Priuli]

Fixed mechattu coinage dips. [Fabio Priuli]

Redumped GFX ROM of kakumei2. [Uki]

Improved the Wave-DMA behaviour in Naomi, added PVR-DMA support.
[Angel Salese]

Naomi video cleanups/reworking. [David Haywood]

DIPSW update [kanikani]
 - added DIP location to following drivers: djmain.c, fitfight.c,
    gaiden.c, hornet.c, namcos1.c, namcos86.c, nwk-tr.c, skykid.c,
    zr107.c

neogeo fixes: [Fabio Priuli]
 * fixed popbounc controls bug (MT 598)
 * removed use of sprintf
 * added a note about service menu browsing when mahjong panel is ON

Konami inputs improvements: [Fabio Priuli]
 * Added source file konamipt.h to unify Konami inputs where possible
    (e.g. most 80s-90s games were using basically the same coinage
    settings and joystick inputs).
 * While at it, verified all 0x00 coinage effects in drivers which now
    use konamipt.h (fixing a few mistakes: hexion, mikie, crimfgtj...)
 * Added finalizb service coin. Removed roadf coin4 & asterix coin3
    (neither used by the games nor present in service mode).
 * Fixed gberetb coin inputs (they were switched).

    present in the chosen cabinet.

 * Verified 0x00 coinage settings in remaining Konami drivers (and two
    Banpresto ones using same coinage settings)

Fixed the priority system in the jalmah.c driver [Uki, Angelo Salese]

Simulate 'keyoff' in the SPU. The envelopes aren't actually emulated,
but the sound is silenced after a key-off (by placing the sound in a
'release' state)  This prevents audiable sound from looping forever.
[David Haywood]

Build the IDE features table only when there is a CHD available.
[Curt Coder]

Added device-based implementations of the eeprom and i2c deevices.
[Samuele Zannoli]

Added diplocations to finalizr.c, gradius3.c, pandoras.c, rollerg.c
and ultraman.c based on Guru's notes (thanks to AJG, who fwded them
to me). [Fabio Priuli]

Dumped 1 BPROM of suchipi [Uki]

old set_info constants for the tables; they are now set up via
the z80_set_cycle_tables function. [Aaron Giles]

added no cocktail flag for risky challenge. [robiza]

Reduced volume for bombrman, added wrong graphics flag for quizf1.
[robiza]

Removed old hardcoded keyboard handling for Atari 8bit systems and
used more reasonable key matrix scan. No regressions expected in MAME
(tested maxaflex.c games). [Fabio Priuli]

Many Naomi tweaks and improvements, plus a number of new sets added
but with no credit specified. [David Haywood]

Corrected names for Champion Italian PK boards (thank f205v for
spotting this). [Mirko Buffoni]

Sega System 1/2 rewrite: [Aaron Giles]

Put tables used for RGB utilities in a single object file rather
than compiling them as statics in every object that uses them.
[Vas Crabb]

coprocessor" screen, but the game still has issues. [Peter Ferrie]
