assumption that all device tags are unique. Specifically, the
following no longer need to provide a device type:
AM_DEVREAD/WRITE
DEVCB_DEVICE_HANDLER
devtag_get_device
devtag_reset
device_list_find_by_tag
as well as several device interfaces that referenced other devices.
Also fixed assertion due to overflow in the recent sound fix.

Added new function memory_install_read_port_handler() to more
easily allow you to install read handlers for ports based on tag.
Removed input_port_read_handler8/16/32/64 functions, since they
were really only used for getting a memory handler for a port by
tag, and this is no longer necessary.
Moved input port handlers to internal code in the memory system.
Added port names to the taito8741 device pending its proper
devicification.
Removed all remaining uses of input_port_n_r() functions, and
purged them from src/emu/machine/generic.
Thanks to Haze finding it was used in qrouka, here is the final
system24 linescroll mode.
Guru, it would be nice if you could check if the effect on the title
screen is correct (the wobbling when the name goes back up). It looks
correct though.

Joker Poker (Version 16.03BI) [Jim Stolis] (not working)
just adding it so that it doesn't get lost in the backlog. inputs don't work, reports 'error' on first boot but you can reboot it.
not sure about the version numbering, the startup text seems to indicate the roms might be 85/86, but the copyright text is 83.
does anybody have a good reference for the colours on these things? I doubt it can be too hard to fix them..
compilation:
- new option CPP_COMPILE to trigger this (off by default)
- split CFLAGS into common, C-only, and C++-only flags
- when enabled, CPP_COMPILE causes 'pp' to be appended to
the target name
NOTE THAT THE SYSTEM CANNOT ACTUALLY BE COMPILED THIS WAY
YET. IT IS JUST AN EXPERIMENT.
Modified lib.mak to always build zlib/expat as C regardless
of CPP_COMPILE.
Modified windows.mak to fix warnings with MAXOPT=1, and to
leverage the new CFLAGs definitions.
Modified vconv.c to do appropriate conversions for new C++
options.
Updated sources so that libutil, libocore (Windows), and
libosd (Windows) can be cleanly compiled as C or C++. This
was mostly adding some casts against void *.
Fixed a few more general obvious problems at random
locations in the source:
- device->class is now device->devclass
- TYPES_COMPATIBLE uses typeid() when compiled for C++
- some functions with reserved names ('xor' in particular)
were renamed
- nested enums and structs were pulled out into separate
definitions (under C++ these would need to be scoped to
be referenced)
- TOKEN_VALUE cannot use .field=x initialization in C++ :(
- Added a VERY preliminary simulation of the protection, just enough to get the game to boot, not make it playable
- Corrected CPU communication, IRQ/NMI generation etc.
- Fixed some video emulation issues (added tilemap scroll etc.)
- Corrected GFX rom loading (at least for the graphics used in attract mode)
OK, here we go so far. Layouts for all the games that have a simple one-input shifter. Except
Turbo, because I'll need to update the whole file, which will take a little more work.
And below is the rest of the games that have shifters, but use a separate input for each gear,
so something different will need to be done.
There are also six games that use a simple shifter, but the button isn't set to toggle. So to
play the game, you hold the button for low gear, then let go for high gear. Not sure if you
wanted to change these or not, so I just included the layout file for now.

Subject: CIA update
Hello,
this patch adds support for the /PC output pin to the CIA emulation.
From the datasheet "/PC will go low for one cycle following a read or write of PORT B.".
This is needed for centronics printer emulation on the MESS side, but I imagine it would
simplify/correct the emulation in some MAME amiga drivers as well (mquake.c for example).
