E-Touch Mahjong Series #6: Scandal Blue - Midara na Daishou [ShouTime, Team Japump, The Dumping Union]

Ton Puu Mahjong [ShouTime, The Dumping Union]
This is only a skeleton driver. ShouTime will keep the PCB only for a few more days, so if someone has the time to have a look.. (nw)
* Remove duplicate code
* Screen raw parameters and XTAL values
* Added PAL dumps for supbtime [Luiskiko/jammarcade.net]
* Add dip switch locations to all games
* Emulate LC7535 based volume control for Dragon Gun board based games
* Add DSW3 and DIP locations to Captain Avenger
* Reorganize driver and start cleaning it up (in progress)

Mephisto Modena [yoyo_chessboard, Sandro Ronco]
Mephisto Monte Carlo [Sandro Ronco]
Mephisto Monte Carlo IV LE [Sandro Ronco]
Mephisto Mega IV [Sandro Ronco]
Used by games in the cninja and deco32 drivers. This implies proper
VBlank IRQ ack for all games now. Also added and improved raw screen
parameters for various games.
* hp85: added support for optional ROM cartridges. Started optional ROM
sw list (not finished).
* hp85: refactored mapping of opt. ROMs according to cuavas' comments
* initial skelethon: ControlID X628 fingerprint reader
* first draft of an implementation of the NT7534 device (LCD controller)
* fix emulation of ControlID x628 + NT7534 LCD controller
* cidx628: fix LCD color palette on Control ID x628 driver
* Adding a header with details of the hardware. This is the first MAME driver with an LCD controlled by a NT7534 chip, so I wrote an initial implementation of that new device.
unkfr belongs in 4enraya (which was my guess when it was mentioned)
doesn't seem much point in having a complete non-working driver in the source for it when it boots as a romswap.
Basic system is done and it can boot from floppy, but there are still
many things to add, therefore marked as NOT_WORKING for now.
New machines added as MACHINE_NOT_WORKING

Kontron PSI98 [Dirk Best, rfka01]
These humble 16-pin logic devices were commonly used in 8-bit arcade games to control coin counters/lockouts, IRQ flipflops, graphics banking, slave CPU reset lines, discrete audio triggers, screen flipping, serial EEPROMs and much else. Over 100 drivers and a few bus devices have been updated to use the new implementation, and a great deal of research has gone into documenting the physical location of these devices on actual PCBs in the source. Write handlers have been provided for both orthodox and somewhat less conventional memory mappings.
Incidental to this update, coin counters and/or lockouts have been added to Atari System 1 games, Basketball, Gauntlet, Gyruss, Hana Yayoi, Hole Land, Jr. Pac-Man, Mahjong Sisters, Pooyan, Roc'n Rope, Squash, Thunder Hoop, Time Limit, Time Pilot '84 and many others. This also cleans up coin counter behavior in Sauro and Rally Bike.
(nw) The purpose of committing this change, which has been several months in the making, early in the 0.189GIT cycle will be to allow time for fixing potential regressions; I've fixed a number of drivers that lost sound from this for various reasons (hnayayoi.cpp having missing or garbage ADPCM was particularly painful, since the three games in that driver all work slightly differently), but I can't test all affected drivers exhaustively. @Tafoid, don't bother running automated screen capture comparison tests on this, as many drivers are now expected to have the screen flipped for the first few seconds after reset.
