notes: pinkswtsb (2006/04/06 MASTER VER.) and pinkswtsx (2006/xx/xx MASTER VER.) uses same U2 graphics content with 1 bad bit difference in pnkswtsb_u2.
normally after manual changes in roms BAD_DUMP flag must be raised, but here we have 4 dumps with almost identical contents (only two 128kb files different/changed from oldest to latest version), so 99.9% with these changes we have full good Pink Sweets U2 nand dumps now.
sad stats: 4 dumps, 2 of them was a bit bad, i.e. 50% cases - so bad quality components was used by Cave in theirs 'expensive' SH3 PCBs...
Turbosub had a ROM_COPY declaration with an expression ('ROM_COPY( "main_code", 0x18000 + 0x2000,...) and this simply did not work with the new model. This required changing ROM_* declarations to more resemble how they used to be and to perform the conversion on load.

The Key Of Avalon 2.5 - War of the Key (client) (Rev B) [ShouTime, rtw]
- Add NVRAM to Power Kick and Othello Derby; document the reset mechanism for the latter
- Add ticket dispenser to Power Kick (seems to work for the most part)
- Remove numerous bogus DIP switches
- Thoroughly reconfigure coin inputs in Power Kick, adding counters and lockouts for all three (including the "Key In" input that really isn't)
- More meaningful settings for the "Payout" DIP switch in Power Kick (based on program code)
Take note that I eliminated make_readonly(); here is why I think the calls were unnecessary:
1. All image loads through softlists are done through common_process_file(), and thus going to be readonly anyways
2. The cassette.cpp call to make_readonly() seems to be a residual hack, if a failure occurs the image will be unloaded anyways
- Create class ui::machine_info for holding calculated machine info and generating descriptive strings for the UI. This absorbs a number of unimportant core functions that existed only for the UI's convenience.
- Ticket dispenser now works for real, dispensing on command rather than like crazy
- Correct "Payout Mode" DIP settings
- Correct DSW1 settings in Pyon Pyon Jump
- Rename coin inputs and coin-related DIP switches and reorder them by increasing denomination
- Remove bogus "Unknown" inputs that aren't actually used
- Full character names only for Kuru Kuru Pyon Pyon (except in bookkeeping mode)
- Reset button now mapped as "Memory Reset" (though it also resets the program)
- Random notes based on program code
