Enclosed is a patch file with the following updates.
* Added the board xtal's for Battlantis, Contra and Pandora's Palace (I did
not verify if cpu's/sound chips are using the correct clock speed though.)
* Added indication of an undumped pal for Contra/Gryzor
* Added pal dumps for Cruis'n USA - rev L4.1 (one pal could not be dumped.)
* Corrected the mcu dump for Pandora's Palace
* Added information on the PROM from the 2 Board version of Congo Bongo
All dumps have been previously forwarded to The Dumping Union.

Subject: [patch] Fix srcclean to handle strings
To: submit@mamedev.org
Cc: atariace@hotmail.com
Hi mamedev,
I noticed an odd case in src2html.c where tabs were converted to
spaces unnecessarily. Turns out srcclean does not track quoted
strings, so an embedded comment in a string will be treated the same
as a comment. Attached is a patch to fix this.

P.S. The *.lay files could use a run through srcclean.

Oggetto: hng64 additive tilemap blending debug
not very optimal, but some debug-key based support for this.
t/y/u/i enable / disable additive blend mode for the tilemaps.
note, when drawing onto a black background the tilemap will look exactly
the same, because black + colour = colour ;-)
the most obvious use are the effects layers in the samurai games, used
for a light beam effect, and snow / storm effects.
I don't know how the hw enables it.
Changed all memory_bank_* functions to specify a tag.
Bulk-converted existing banks to be tagged "bank##" in
order to ensure consistency. However, going forward, the
tags don't matter, so please name them something useful.
Added AM_BANK_READ/AM_BANK_WRITE macros to let you specify
bank tags. Also changed AM_ROMBANK and AM_RAMBANK macros to
accept tags as well.
Added new functions memory_install_read_bank_handler and
memory_install_write_bank_handler to install banks by tag
name, similar to input ports.
Changed internals of memory system to dynamically allocate
all banks. The first time a bank with an unknown tag is
installed, a new bank object is created and tracked
internally. Removed all SMH_BANK(n) references outside of
the main code; these should never, ever be useful anymore.
Anyone who's ever been confused by the meaning of a given GCC or MSVC error diagnostic will enjoy this (it's color-coded in real life for added "wow"):
src/emu/memory.c:2148:5: error: comparison of distinct pointer types ('genf *' and 'void *')
check_entry_handler(write);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
src/emu/memory.c:2052:63: note: instantiated from:
if (entry->handler.generic != NULL && entry->handler.generic != SMH_RAM) \
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^
Also, added driver data struct to: alpha68k.c, amspdwy.c, gng.c, gunsmoke.c, hotblock.c
Finally, removed a couple of memory_set_bankptr I hadn't noticed in ddrible.c and gberet.c

Subject: [patch] Convert cabal/mappy/toypop/zaxxon to use driver_data
To: submit@mamedev.org
Cc: atariace@hotmail.com
Hi mamedev,
This patch is a resubmit of my earlier patch to have mappy and zaxxon
store their state in driver_data. It extends the patch to toypop
(which uses some mappy code), and also converts cabal which I also did
some time ago. cabal.h and toypop.h are new header files.

Taito should explain to me why doing a sound command latch writeable by the
Sound CPU itself... >_>
Comments:
Corrected long-standing issue in Tron where the cocktail fire button never worked at all or was always held down. Work still needs to be done with the 10 position dip which isn't properly hooked up yet.
I found that it needs to be slightly different if you want correctly
terminated audio streams:
/* add up the samples */
if (channelsamples > chunksamples)
file->info.audio_numsamples = stream->samples += chunksamples;
else if (channelsamples > 0)
file->info.audio_numsamples = stream->samples += channelsamples;
Otherwise extra silence will be counted at the end of the audio stream.
Not really that big an issue but a bit sloppy...
