0.92u2000
---------

Given the circumstances this seems a worthwhile update ;-).

----

Improvements to Seibu SPI decryption [Nicola Salmoria]
Tile graphics are decrypted for all Games
Sprites decrypted for Raiden Fighters 2000

Discrete Sound in Tank8 [Hans Andersson]

Added Trackballs in Championship Bowling [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Complete table for 317-0033 (Alien Syndrome) and 317-0034 (S.Hang On)

Updated Mahjong drivers to use new default controls [James Wallace]

Updated Gladiator driver [Nicola Salmoria]
- verified with schematics (though the schematics are very hard to read
so there are still dubious places)
- converted to tilemaps, fixed scrolling
- simplified tile decoding
- flip screen support
- fixed spriteram size (this fixes gladiatr36rc2gre)
- support for sprite dual buffer (this fixes sprite trails)
- adjusted YM2203 mixing levels so bass notes can still be heard (the
audio mixing stage has some program controlled filters though which
aren't supported)
- merged with ppking, drivers/ppking.c is no longer needed
- proper blending of the fg layer (it's a palette effect not alpha
blending)
