System Driver Changes:

• snes.c: fixed Dezaemon SRAM mappings. [Fabio Priuli]
• gameboy.c: Added support for the mapper used by Sonic 3D Blast 5 pirate. [Wilbert Pol]
• samcoupe.c: modified the driver to not install / uninstall bank handlers, greatly improving performaces (e.g. Manic Miner demo went from 20% to 380% ingame). Plus added some very preliminary softlists. [David Haywood]
• mac updates: [R. Belmont]
  
  • Line-level ADB comms for machines using the Egret ADB MCU, including standard transactions and SRQ
  • Built-in video support for all modes on machines with the V8 and Sonora ASICs
  • Corrected some minor bugs in the ADB protocol spoken by the keyboard simulation
• c128: Rewrote the driver using the PLA for address decoding. [Curt Coder]
• gameboy.c: Partially implemented banking for Story of La Sa Ma. [Wilbert Pol]
• mac: Support original Macintosh II Video Card [R. Belmont, Sharkpuncher]
• hp9k: made drive go into boot process [Gabriele D'Antona]
• craft: added basic Timer 1 support to Craft driver and hooked up the DAC, currently plays only a buzzing noise due to lacking EEPROM support [MooglyGuy]
• mac: Convert 343-004x RTC/PRAM chip into modern RTC device [R. Belmont]
• mac: Support headless operation [R. Belmont]
• mac updates: [R. Belmont]
  
  • Fixed some glitches with the SE/30's built-in video
  • Added preliminary infrastructure for LC and '030-type
  • processor-direct slots
  • Support for SE/30 processor-direct slot version of RasterOps Colorboard 264
• mac: Add support for Lapis ProColor Server 8*16 PDS video card [R. Belmont, Sharkpuncher]
• mac: Add support for PDS Sigma Designs L-View card [R. Belmont, Sharkpuncher]
• a2600: Reimplemented the a2600 controllers as vcs controller devices. Switched the a2600 drivers to use slot devices for choosing controllers. [Wilbert Pol]
• craft.c: Fixed DAC bit order, audio now plays but is 40% too slow [Mooglyguy]
• craft.c: Preliminary video support, bad vsync and colors still. [MooglyGuy]
• mac: Preliminary support for Micron XCEED 30HR and MacroColor 30 PDS cards [R. Belmont, Sharkpuncher, Balrog]
• a7800: NTSC Color Generator utilized for color palette with hue shift/start based on observation of several systems across multiple displays [Robert Tuccitto] 

Software Lists:

• 32x: added region compatibility filters to the software list [Fabio Priuli, Tafoid, Bobz]
• spectrum_cass.xml: added very preliminary softlist containing some interesting test case for emulation. [David Haywood]
• pcw16.xml: added softlist for available disk images [remax]
• snes.xml: added region compatibility filters to the software list [Fabio Priuli, Tafoid, Bobz]
• amiga.xml: added placeholder lists for system disks. [David Haywood]
• amiga: added very preliminary softlist for game disks [David Haywood]
• ibm5150.xml: updated with recent dumps. [Kaylee]

Source Changes

• floppy: Random fixes/logging [O. Galibert]
• upd765: Modernize [O. Galibert]
• Remaining TODO list:
  • take WP into account
  • test the amstrad, implement its observational format (edsk) using pasti as a start. Or find the legendary amstrad IPFs. Or both.
  • correct read track, the implementation is completely wrong. See previous for testing, it's only used in protections the check the inter-sector gaps.
  • shake and bake on the amstrad, protections are the best to find bugs in a fdc
  • add the scan id commands, but nothing seems to use them
  • debug the 2.88M formatting which is unreliable. Fix its IDAM/DAM gap size on formatting too (but that's not what's making it unreliable)
  • test all the systems that were hit, and fix what needs to be fixed. Beware that multiple problems may happen:
  • upd765 may be wrong
  • the driver may not be working
  • the hookup may be wrong/incomplete (bitrate selection and floppy rpm in particular)
  • the driver may be too limited for the new implementation (the x68k dma device does not handle non-instant dma yet for instance)
  • report invalid command when appropriate depending on the actual chip emulated* add the russian clones with their real names
• d88: Reduce the gap3 size from the standard value when the data otherwise won't fit [O. Galibert]
• upd765: Implement LOCK [O. Galibert]
• upd765: Fix busy status when seeking [O. Galibert]
• upd765: Fix MSR DIO in EXEC phase [O. Galibert]
• add innovation ssi-2001 sid-on-isa device [Carl]
• upd765: Fix the dump regs command, don't exit on unknown commands and add dsr reset [O. Galibert]
• added basic support for the loop flags in tzx [David Haywood]
