- Added gfxdecode & palette lenght to the machine driver, so tiles stuff can be viewed through F4 in case of someone wants to help.
- Defined SND_CLOCK for the ay8910.
The driver is quite complete, but need some work to get proper colors and reels support.

Magic Card [Roberto Fresca,David Haywood,Angelo Salese]
=============
This thing is pretty Amiga-ish...How much similar is this one to the Amiga HW?
the PROG line is to read/write/and/or to ports 4-7. Since the board doesn't
list an 8243 port expander, it is likely the "writes" to port 4 are really
just a mechanism to get the PROG line to toggle to clear the interrupt.
Added new sets, created new machine drivers, fixed colors, added PPI devices, created new 8255 and ay8910 interfaces, worked out inputs and DIP switches from the scratch, fixed memory maps, merged the cherrym2.c driver with goldstar.c and much more...

========
Actually fixed hackish things from the last update by "Mike Green",I'll finish this off tomorrow,it's playable if you hack the 8880-888f areas to ff just
before the "token error"...
(this works thanks to recent changes from Nathan; in fact, any input can
affect the state of an artwork element). Removed debug build hack to popmessage
the shifter state.
=============
Several Seibu games (i.e. D-Con,sdgndmps,Sengoku Mahjong,goodejan/totmejan and the raiden2.c/legionna.c games) all have a standard 0x48 (0x50?)
regs-wide C.R.T.C.
I wonder if it is a custom Seibu crap or a known video chip,would be good if somebody can do tests on it. For sure,it should be abstracted,this
commit was made by looking mostly at Sengoku Mahjong.
- added running_machine to internal structure, removed as explicit parameter
- added new function rom_file_size() to compute the size of a ROM
- removed rom_first_chunk() and rom_next_chunk() which are no longer needed
- changed progress display to be based on size of ROMs loaded, not number
- changed temporary load buffer to be dynamically allocated
- fixed reload logic to handle skipped BIOSes
Also changed rand_memory() to use a fixed seed for consistent behavior.
Fixed auto_malloc() along the way to randomize its memory when allocated in
the debug build. This used to be the standard, but it seems to have been removed
when the pool allocation was moved into the library.
inlining the check to see if it is running. Removed obsolete entries
and updated the text to more accurately describe each one. Added CPU
tags to the CPU names. Switched to using an astring for building the
final string.
Unfortunately, still a bit too much overhead to leave it on in all builds.

irq 5 code is this one:

044276: 30F9 0070 0002 move.w $700002.l, (A0)+
04427C: 2B48 1C18 move.l A0, ($1c18,A5)
044280: 4CDF 0100 movem.l (A7)+, A0
044284: 4E73 rte
60000c is an unknown port,but 700002 is for arm power sensor. So I'm guessing that's not related at all with the ym sound chip.
I'll check this again at some point...

* PROMs dumped from Atari System 1 TTL Motherboard (One PLA needs dumping though.)
* Added notes on the Atari System 1 Motherboard and some of its supported games
balsente.c:
* Placeholders in the Bally Sente driver for the various PALs that need to be dumped
* Added notes on some of the type of Bally Sente cartridges
galaga.c:
* Placeholders in the Galaga driver for various PALs that need to be dumped
* Added notes on the two different Atari Dig Dug board revisions
galaxian.c:
* Added notes to the Galaxian driver on the single board Galaxian bootleg and the board labels for Lost Tomb and Turtles
ms32.c:
* Placeholder in the Jaleco MegaSystem 32 driver for the PAL on the motherboard
namcofl.c:
* Placeholder in the Namco FL driver for the PALs on Speed Racer
popeye.c:
* Corrected the rom names for Popeye
* Added save state support to Popeye
* Added the dip location to the encrypted Popeye and fixed the coin settings according to the manual (unencrypted Popeye not changed)
rocnrope.c:
* Placeholder in the Roc 'n Rope driver for a PAL
tutankhm.c:
* Added the dip locations to Tutankham
tx1.c:
* Placeholder in the Buggy Boy Jr. for the various PALs
of a given driver, meaning those drivers that come from the same source
file, along with their parent names if they are clones. If a wildcard
name is specified for the driver, then the first driver in a given
source file will trigger a list of his brothers, and any other drivers
in the same source file which match the wildcard will be flagged.
which control the font and size used in the debugger text Windows. These
default to "Lucida Console" and 9pt, which is the same face as previously
hard-coded but 1pt larger. Personally, I prefer "Consolas" 9pt, which is
one of the new "C" fonts included with Windows Vista and later (also
available for free download on older systems). Note that only fixed-width
fonts really work here, for obvious reasons.
polystar gets a little farther but crashes when the sub cpu attempts
to enable interrupts.
Removed HAS_PPC* in favor of a single HAS_POWERPC, and a single
definition in cpu.mak for all PowerPC variants.
