- BF9096: Added alternate paging required by certain dumps. Fixes menu items that didn't load or were crisscrossed.
- Golden Five: Corrected reset/game lock behavior according to reverse engineered hardware info.
- ntf2tc1 and modaosyma were overdumps with doubled PRG ROM of their parent sets.
- dreamfgtasd was a multcart extract with extra CHR data from three other games.
- Half of musicboxa's CHR was an overdump that matched half its PRG dump.
- JF-13: fixed simultaneous samples playing at boot of Moero Pro Yakyuu.
- JF-16, discrete 74x161: set hardware-valid one-screen mirroring mode at reset.
- JF-17/19: Streamlined by putting common details in base class. Fixed latches which switch banks on low to high transition. Demoted moejudo since it's not playable.
- SS88006 boards: Also streamlined everything into common base class. Parameterized common code patterns. Added WRAM enable bits.
- nes.xml: Corrected ROM sizes of undumped uPD775xC chips.
* spectrum_cass.xml: Added one game and a couple of demos
Just noticed that the only way to play the Spectrum version of Inspector Gadget was through its Russian bootleg arcade game "Brodjaga", so I added its only official release (was cancelled in the UK but released in Spain).
Also added a couple of demos that I found laying around in a very old backup, and which aren't already included in any cover tapes:
-LSD Megademo
-The Ren and Stimpy Slideshow (a kind of lame slideshow of a few black and white pics, but with a decent presentation)
