just so that I'm not wasting anybody's time in keeping these to myself. smf, please verify once the gnet stuff is final / in. They prevent it crashing in attract mode. Revert if wrong.
Updated src2html, regrep, and chdman tools to use this function where
appropriate.
In chdman, changed -addmeta to -addmetatext or -addmetabin to explicitly
specify the type of data (previous auto-detect was too dangerous).
update old tags.
Modified cdrom.c to expose metadata read/write functions, and changed
chdman to use them. Also changed chdman to parse old-style metadata and
convert it to new-style metadata since we're going to need to re-do this
anyway and the two won't hash to the same value.
Added completely untested support for the ident metadata to the hard
disk creation path. If a filename is provided immediately after the
source filename, it is taken as an ident file and processed for CHS
data and added. Other metadata types can be added afterwards via
-addmeta.
* Fixes Royal Casino colors;
* Added flip screen support to the driver;
* Changed Casino Winner to be a clone of Royal Casino;
* Cleaned-up the driver;
Updated CHD format to version 4. Checksums are now computed and
stored separately for raw data and metadata, and metadata is now
checksummed by default.
We will need to go through all existing CHDs, run a chdman -update
on them, and update the SHA1s stored in the drivers to accommodate
this (MD5s should be removed).
Updated chdman to support a generic metadata addition system:
chdman -addmeta <chdfile> <tag> [<index>] <sourcefile>
The <sourcefile> is examined and if it appears to be strictly text,
any EOFs and trailing EOLs are stripped, and the result is NULL-
terminated to match the behavior of existing metadata.
Updated chdman to report and fix errors in the raw and metadata
SHA1s.
Changed the CHD verify interfaces to pass back a structure containing
all the necessary data for verification and fixing.

1. Namco system-21 (earlier single DSP type) game "Driver's Eyes"
2D layer works. Unlike some other sys-21 games like starblad or
solvalou, which use sprite layers with priorities from 0 to 7,
Driver's Eyes uses up to 14 & 15.
1.5 [Documentation] Year of "Driver's Eyes" is 1990, not 1987.
2. Bug fix: Konami zr-107, GTI Club hardware, background layer
lost (black sky).
3. Jaleco dancing game step3: it's not a clone, but a new game.

Subject: Patch with minor documentation changes
Attached is a patch file with the following minor documentation changes:
* Added placeholders for the two PAL's on Atari's version of Pole
Position 1 and 2 (I could not read the last digit of the PAL at 5c.)
* Added board numbers to SEGA's Quartet 2 documentation
* Corrected the rom names for Tutankham (A guess was made on the names
for Konami's version of the roms at 3h and 6h.)
Kevin Eshbach
