> Source Changes
> Changed how perodic timers are defined. Previously, you would specify a number
> which was interpreted either as Hz (if less than 50000) or as nanoseconds (if
> greater than 50000). Now, the time is specified as a period and you use the
> standard TIME_IN_HZ or TIME_IN_NS macros. [Aaron Giles]
> Turned on address error checking in the 68000 core. This slows things down a bit
> but is more accurate and allows correct behavior of a couple of badly-programmed
> games. [Aaron Giles]
> Fixed several issues with address error checking in the 68000 core. [Aaron
> Giles]
> Fixed 68000 bug that treated 8-bit branches with $FF offsets as illegal, rather
> than allowing them and generating an address error. [Aaron Giles]
> Created a new header file mamecore.h, which contains the core common useful
> macros and typedefs that were scattered throughout the header files. Also added
> endian swapping macros from MESS. [Aaron Giles]
> Fully deprecated the use of cpu_setbank(), which was long ago replaced with
> memory_set_bankptr(). [Aaron Giles]
>
> Did some major cleanup on the MCR drivers [Aaron Giles]
> - Implemented Super Sound I/O interrupts properly.
> - Filled out all memory maps according to schematics.
> - Fixed sound sync with various sound boards, allowing for kludges to be removed
> from Power Drive and Star Guards.
> - Re-verified all connections from wiring diagrams.
> - Documented various lamp and driver boards from the games.
>
> Some makefile tweaks to hopefully catch variable declaration problems that kept
> creeping into builds. Switched gcc compiler standard to gnu89. [Atari Ace]
> Removed usage of dirent.h APIs on Windows builds. [Atari Ace]
> Corrected resolution to 256x256 in Stagger I, Red Hawk, Sen Jin - Guardian
> Storm. All other games still have old visible area that is correct for them.
> [Mamesick]
> Fixed crash in Volfied and Operation Wolf due to improper timer usage.
> [Nicola Salmoria]
> Fixed one of the TC360 sprite blending modes (used in Pulirula round 2 and
> Liquids Kids attract mode). [Bryan McPhail]
> Fixed sprite/tilemap placement in Legend of Kage. [Phil Stroffolino]
>
> PowerPC core update: [Nathan Woods]
> - Added infrastructure to generate DSI and ISI exceptions
> - Made the lbz/lbzu/lbzux/lbzx instructions properly clear out the high 24 bits
> in the results
> - Added SRR0 and SRR1 to the debug view
> Did some cleanups in the vamphalf.c driver. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
> Fixed speedbal again, after breaking it in the last update. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
> Changed Nitro Ball to use the new deco16_tilemap_34_combine_draw function Bryan
> added some time ago. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
