Driver projects now use globs to search for files. There's less effort
editing the Lua files when things are moved around. Remember it won't
automatically pick up a change, so if you add/remove/change files, you
should touch makefile to get it to find the change.
Driver projects no longer get the top-level MAME directory as an include
path. This means you need to think about how you structure things and
not introduce nasty circular dependencies.
Subtarget projects can now be generated entirely from .flt files without
the need for separate Lua scripts and .lst files. This has been done
for the arcade, mess and virtual targets. It effectively works like a
SOURCES= build on a large scale. This means you need to organise things
so the dependency genrators can find them.
There's an issue with the mess subtarget right now. For some reason,
decmate2.cpp isn't picking up the dependency on the PDP8 CPU core for
the HD6120 device. I'll debug it later
* Add implementation of thunderl protection, implemented using a PALCE16V8.
* Corrected address range for protection write handler.
* Added recreated PAL image based on analysis.
* Fixed audio by setting a precise value for the tone pot, also removed unnecessary amplifier section resistor.
* Added impulses to coin inputs to stop j_ewnd giving credits every frame.
* Turned the audio level down a bit.

* Changed name of cards for slot selection to "mdc48" and "mdc824" as
they're unrelated to the later 8*24 GC card.
* Also cleaned up code substantially and got rid of artificial
differences between Display Card 4*8 and 8*24.
* Moved lists of NuBus and SE/30 PDS cards to a common place.
* Got some class declarations out of headers to reduce recompiles.
* Remove DIP switch locations from edge connectors/split-pads in pacman.
* Added DIP switch locations to mspacman.
* Remove duplicated inputs from mspacpls and mspachmp.
* Marked Rack Test as PORT_TOGGLE.
* Changed fake DIP switches to machine configuration settings.
New working machine
------------------
Radica / Takara / SSD Company LTD Play TV Jr. Construction [Sean Riddle, David Haywood, Peter Wilhelmsen, Kamaal Brown]
* Use the plugin data folder for storing the cache. The history folder
may be read-only or shared with different configurations.
* Don't create the cache database or surrounding folder if there's
nothing to store in it.
* Actually use prepared queries multiple times rather than always
destroying them after a single use.
* Added proper error checking for most database operations.
* Improved query performance by avoiding outer joins and table scans.
-bus/nubus: Made the Macintosh Display Cards map the blue channel to
white with monochrome monitors. Also added logging for PLL
configuration to help debug how CRTC and RAMDAC clocks work in the
future.

Started implementing the Macintosh Display Card CRTC. It gives correct
resolutions, although refresh rates are incorrect. Added machine
configuration settings allowing several monitors to be selected.
Implemented the Macintosh Display Card's packed RGB mode. The
base/stride in RGB mode make more sense with this implemented.
Cleaned up the code for the SuperMac Spectrum cards, and fixed the
garbage at the bottom of the screen on the Spectrum/8.
Put a layout with views for common monitor aspect ratios in a place
where cards can use it. This is especially useful for the NuBus cards
that can support portrait monitors.
Factored CRTC and shift register out of Spectrum/8 and added to Spectrum
PDQ. Fixes video mode selection and resolution for Spectrum PDQ.
Implemented vertical interrupt position, stride, line offset and clock
source registers for Spectrum PDQ. Added a hack to work around line end
control not being understood. Also added save state support.
Slightly modernised the Macintosh Display Card (JMFB) device code.
Initialised some driver state class members that were causing System 7
to fail to see files. [Ivan Vangelista]
