CSK Research Institute games on FM Towns don't follow the same sequence
as other games when reading inputs. They depend on the data lines not
being updated for some time after /Ack goes high, and can miss
transitions if the timing is too tight (ironic that 16MHz '386 software
has these issues when the 7MHz 6502 in the PC Engine gets by fine).
This fudges the timings to work with the these buggy games without
breaking the other use cases.
Also for some reason, these games expect an XE-1AP in MD mode with a
Sega controller adapter - they won't work wth an XE-1AP in Personal
Computer mode, and they won't work with the XE-1AJ or its NEC-branded
relative. In MAME you can flip the Interface setting to MD in the
Machine Configuration options without needing to use an adapter device.

ibm5150.xml: Ancient Land of Ys [Angelo Salese]
Rationalised interface, got rid of TH from the "pulled" lines, and
extended to support output on all data lines. Renamed to be less
specific as the same interface is shared by multiple consoles.
Removed a lot of unnecessary indirection through I/O ports and multiple
levels of inversion in peripheral emulation that was obfuscating the
code.
Made Rapid Fire Unit switches toggles so they can be assigned to
controller buttons and switched on/off easily during gameplay. You can
still see/change the current state in the Toggle Inputs menu if you
don't want to assign buttons.
Implemented idle timeout in Furrtek 4-player Master System adapter.
Improved crosshair tracking in Graphic Board, added ability to
raise/lower pen, and greatly cleaned up code.
Fixed paddle controller when used with export consoles.
Added 3-button and 6-button Mega Drive control devices.
sega/sms.cpp: SG-1000 Mark III has pin 7 of controller ports tied low -
indicate this to attached controllers (this pin became TH on the Master
System).
sega/mdconsole.cpp: Replaced controller emulation in the driver with
Sega controller ports. Also removed some vestigial code from the driver
base class.
sharp/x68k.cpp: Replaced controller emulation in the driver with MSX
controller ports.
bus/msx/ctrl: Added a Sega controller adapter device, supported by
X68000 software including chelnov and ssf2.

* nintendo/nes_m82.cpp: Moved m82 to separate source file and added partial implementation. Added missing graphics ROM. Got rid of m82p for now.
* nintendo/nes.cpp: Corrected name of "Twin Famicom". Switched famitvc1 to use older RP2A03.

* gbcolor.xml, bus/gameboy: Renamed slot option for Rocket Games
cartridges from "rom_atvrac" to "rom_rocket".
* emu/config.cpp: Made error messages more detailed when opening a
configuration file fails, and bumped error messages to warning level.

* Added MBC30 as a distinct slot option for documentation purposes.
* Added heuristics to detect MBC30 for GBX and plain ROM dump files.
* mbc.cpp: Disabled noisy logging.
Allow cartridges to install themselves rather than putting accesses
through trampolines. Use memory banks even when they aren't installed
directly, as it exposes script bindings and declares intent.
Added support for MBC6 Flash, and MBC7 two-axis accelerometer and 128*16
or 256*16 serial EEPROM. Added basic support for Game Boy Camera image
capture (various M64282FP processing features are not implemented).
Improved MBC3 real-time clock emulation.
Added basic support for Hudson Soft HuC-1 cartridges (infrared I/O not
supported) and HuC-3 cartridges (real-time clock and infrared I/O not
supported).
Added full support for Vast Fame VF001 cartridges.
Separated Mega Duck flat and banked ROM cartridge types, and allowed
software list items to specify whether a cartridge has fixed and
selectable 16K banks or a single selectable 32K bank.
Added support for RAM sizes smaller than 8K that will be mirrored in the
0xA000-0xBFFF area. Implemented correct ROM mapping for sizes that are
not powers of two. Corrected size of MBC2 internal static RAM.
Added support for various hypothetical cartridge wirings, such as MBC5
with outer ROM banking for up to 128M, M161 and Wisdom Tree cartridges
with flat RAM, and MBC1 or MBC5 with fewer than the maximum number of
inner ROM bank lines used.
Fixed logo spoofing logic for many pirate cartridges, including Rocket
Games, Sachen MMC1 and MMC2, Sintax, Li Cheng, and Niutoude. Identified
fine bank mask register for GBCK003 board.
Added basic support for GBX format ROM images. Added heuristic for
detecting raw dumps of M161 cartridge images. Removed unreliable
unlicensed cartridge detection heuristics - these need to be
reimplemented in a better way.

-gameboy.xml, gbcolor.xml: Mark HuC-1 cartridges as using non-volatile
RAM, and demoted to partially supported for lack of IR transceiver
emulation.
-Various cleanups:
* midway/seattle.cpp: Turned San Francisco Rush Boot Code Version L1.06A
into a BIOS option rather than a clone - the game version is the same.
* misc/highvideo.cpp: Use a more obvious pixel loop with fewer tests,
and cleaned up spacing.
* tvgames/micom_mahjong.cpp: Use active low logic for active low key
matrix rather than inverting stuff everywhere.
* pacific/thief.cpp: Cleaned up indentation gone wild.

gbcolor.xml: Demoted beastfgt to partially supported (HUD blank on GBC),
and demoted emochndx to unsupported due to all kinds of broken

c2color_cart.xml: Dì 3 dàn: Zhī Yīngxióng Dǎo Zhī Lièyàn Mó [Peter Wilhelmsen]
c2color_cart.xml: Corrected metadata based on packaging.
* monon_color.cpp : music MCU commands axxx really are reading a 0x1000 range from the internal ROM for a direct comparison, not sniffing the SPI bus. Add some debugging code to run that if wanted for now, even if it's incomplete (defaults to suspending the CPU)

* sound/pokey.cpp: Minor cleanup, and got rid of an unnecessary member
in channel structures (only used in inline member functions).
* nintendo/gb.cpp: Spell Mega Duck with a space consistently.
* sega/turbo_a.cpp: Use an optional device finder to get discrete sound
device. The function that would add this seems to have been lost.

There are a number of places where multiple spaces were being used
intentionally (extracted directly from disk labels, separating titles
from subtitles, tabulation, etc.).
Also fixed misspelled Twinbee Yahho titles.
