This update passes validity checks but will certainly have
a number of drivers failing at startup because all pointers
are defaulted to required by the automated scripts used.
Will fix problems once we get a regression run to find out
which drivers need attention.
- This game has mechanical parts so it's not exactly playable, but it is possible try it until the end giving the expected inputs.
- Imported the i8279 device from MESS and updated to support sensor
mode and mask nibble.
- Made a simple layout and the defined input ports.
New clones marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING

necessary to fetch the color_prom directly. Made PALETTE_INIT
into just another basic callback with an overridable palette_init()
in the driver_device, and support for arbitrary member functions via
MCFG_PALETTE_INIT_OVERRIDE.
Renamed driver overrides to MCFG_MACHINE/SOUND/VIDEO_START_OVERRIDE to
explicitly indicate they are overriding the default behavior.
Put liberatr back the way it used to be.
Added optional/required_shared_ptr_array classes so that you can
populate an array of shared pointers. You provide a base tag name,
and each item in the array is populated with tag.n, where n is the
array index.
Updated a couple of drivers using arrays to either not use arrays
(where they weren't really providing any benefit) or to use the new
array classes.
You still need target() if you want to cast to another pointer size.
This should be rare, and in fact fixing these pointed out a few
cases where code was missing BYTE/WORD/DWORD_XOR_* macros. I flagged
these with:
// ERROR: This cast is NOT endian-safe without the use of BYTE/WORD/DWORD_XOR_* macros!
For future fixing.
