STV Improvements [Angelo Salese. Mariusz Wojcieszek]

Attempted to improve quizpani sound banking [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Snes emulation improvements from MESS (used for NSS) [Nathan Woods]
	src/drivers/nss.c
	src/includes/snes.h
	src/machine/snes.c
	src/sndhrdw/snes.c
	src/vidhrdw/snes.c
	    - Misc changes and improvements from the SNES driver in MESS

Fixed Uncio sound frequency with values taken from real pcb [El Condor]

YMF271 sound core plus very preliminary hook up in ms32.c (only Desert War makes
any sound at all and it doesn't really seem to be anytihng like correct, this is
probably due to a combination of z80 communication and banking issues) [R.Belmont]

Made sure each bitmap is aligned on a 16-bit boundary [Brad Oliver]
	src/common.c

Updated Vball driver to use graphics extracted from origianl PCB [Jarek Burczynski]

Fixed viofight to only have one OKI [Jarek Burczynski]
	- fixed adpcm sound in viofight: now there's is only one OKI M6295 chip
	- corrected Z80 clock in viofight
	- corrected viofight rom names
	- added some info about PALs: viofight, nastar


Misc Fixes for MESS [Nathan Woods]
	src/common.c:
	src/common.h:
	- Added auto_strdup(), just an auto_malloc'd version of strdup()

	src/ui_text.c:
	src/ui_text.h:
	src/mame.c:
	- Cleanups in UI string support, primarily to more easily
	support MESS specific strings without modifying MAME files.  Also
	removed uistring_shutdown(), which is made unnecessary by auto_strdup()

	src/osdepend.h
	src/cpu/z80/z80.c
	src/windows/config.c
	- Adds osd_die() function; a friendlier way to die in some
	unexpected fatal way than exit(-1) or [shudder] raise(SIGABRT)

	src/harddisk.h
	src/chd.h
	- Adds #ifndef <headername>_H protection

	src/windows/config.c
	- Adds minor code within #ifdef MESS


TMS9900 inline asm update [Brad Oliver]
	The syntax for the inline ppc assembly in the tms9900 core has changed 
	slightly

Hooked up Backgrounds in Miss Bubble 2 [Angelo Salese]

SCSP updates [Elsemi, R.Belmont]

Path for Solaris [Lawrence Gold]
	Attached is a patch for Solaris that replaces uses of sqrtf and floorf,
	which aren't available on that platform, with their double-precision
	counterparts.  Please let me know if this is a problem, in which case I
	can add some special-case #defines for Solaris

Changed Liberator to use Proms, proper PROMS are not dumped however [Stefan Jokisch]

Improved Namco Sound core {BUT]

il giorno che esce un gioco che interessa morrai a furia di cercare di capire perchè non funziona più niente
io sono atato costretto a rifarmi il romset, perchè avevo sbagliato ad aggiornarlo precedentemente... ma dalla prossima lo tengo aggiornatissimo: emule e clearmame pro rulez!!!!!

ciao!

[ionet]

ma non si possono installare piu' versioni del mame

cosi magari si salvano capre e cavoli senza l'obbligo di aggiornare il romset tutte le volte

questo è vero.... lo fanno in tanti.... ma se qualcuno mi dovesse chiedere un po' di roms non mi va di dirgli: "allora: bubble bobble lo usi con il mame36, metal slug 1 2 e X con il 67, metal slug 3 con il 77...."
è solo per comodità: così con un solo programma ho tutti i giochi....

ciao!

[skazzo]

ah, è uscito il .78!!!

ciao!
