BBC Micro Model B (Norway) [Nigel Barnes]
New clones marked as NOT_WORKING
--------------------------------
Cisco SIST1 Terminal [Nigel Barnes]
* Refactored Family Trainer and Tap-tap Mat into common base class.
Software list items promoted to working (nes.xml)
---------------------------------------
Super Mogura Tataki!! Pokkun Moguraa (Japan)
* Expanded VRC4 CHR bank regs to 9-bit. This functionality is verified on Konami VRC4 hardware as well but is only used by clones (World Hero here).
* Removed board for World Hero. Its VRC4 clone chip is under a glop top but is thought to be identical to Konami's.
* Reimplemented TF1201 (Lethal Weapon) as a VRC4 subclass. Its clone chip is only known to differ by the IRQ reload bit, which it ignores.
* Reimplemented Shui Guan Pipe as a VRC4 subclass. Its clone chip has different PRG banking but is otherwise standard.
Software list items promoted to working (nes.xml)
---------------------------------------
Gimmick! (Asia, pirate)
Lethal Weapon (China)
World Hero (Asia)
World Hero (Asia, alt)
Added comments with V.24 interchange circuit numbers and names to
rs232.h to make the meanings of the abbreviated signal names clearer.
Moved a few slot card classes out of headers and into anonymous
namespaces to reduce compile depedencies and exported symbols.
Transliterated a Korean NES game title.
- Modified MMC1 base class (SxROM) to have outer bank base/mask to make it extensible by multicarts.
- Implemented two boards, reset-based SxROM and a 2-in-1 by TXC, as proof of concept.
- Marked Operation Wolf games as partially supported due to zapper inputs not working.
- Marked Space Shadow as not supported since it requires the extra buttons on the Bandai Hyper Shot gun.

-----------------------------------
1997 Super HiK 4 in 1 (JY-021) [MLX]
1995 Super HiK 4 in 1 (JY-022) [NewRisingSun, taizou]
1996 Super HiK 4 in 1 (JY-051) [NewRisingSun, taizou]
2 in 1 Uzi Lightgun [CaH4e3]
- Reduced redundant code by making "kasing" device parent class for sglionk/sgboog. The latter are identical save for the extended register/address scrambling.
- Eliminated hosenkan device altogether (mapper 182). It is identical to sglionk (mapper 114).
First major step in splitting up machine classes in NEC PC98 family tree:
* Splits up derivative HWs into own state machine and files (pc98ha.cpp, pc9821.cpp and pc9801_epson.cpp);
* Adds a preliminary uPD4991a parallel RTC, used by pc98ha;
* Fix -26, -86, -118 C-bus sound board dips or jumper settings;
* Fix default sound card for pc9821 (-86) and pc9821ce2 / pc9821cx3 (-118);
* Adds preliminary MAD Factory Otomichan-kai C-bus sound board;
* Adds boilerplate code for C-bus installing board I/Os, avoiding the possible inconvenience of board(s) getting silently unmapped by other installed boards;
* Major refactoring of HW dip switches readouts, using required_ioports instead of scattering things around in PPI hooks;
* Extensive QA rundown, including research on missing features and undumped machines.
pc9801.cpp: Don't passthrough mouse irq frequency when cycle setting is setup too, fixes jastrike mouse input on options menu.
pc9801.cpp: Fix kanji RAM window LR readback, makes telenetm to properly display 8x16 chars on RS and derivative machines.
pc8801.cpp: fixed OPNA RAM readback, allowing SWs to playback ADPCMs properly.
