renamed ikaria to ikarinc (for Ikari No Continues)
ikari is the JAMMA board, with conitnues
ikaria is the non-JAMMA board, with continues
ikarinc is the non-JAMMA board, without continues

Ikari Warriors (US) [Nicola Salmoria]
Since I touch up a couple of things and test each driver after the automated merge, it still takes a few minutes for each file. More IO_MAP merges will trickle in over the next few days.
It's likely not worth writing every driver in the whatsnew.txt, since there will be ~100.
- Added Magic Joker.
- Fixed the 3rd background offset to Galaxi.
- Remapped inputs to match the standard poker games.
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status

Magic Joker (v1.25.10.2000) [Roberto Fresca]
* Adds MCS48_INTERNAL_ROMBANK define to header
* Drivers which need to control the ea line have to initialize banking for internal/external rom
This is not yet optimal but works as expected with existing drivers and modified mario.c
(not worth putting in whatsnew)
Please note, this does touch mario.c and dkong.c (two drivers which are currently undergoing modifications), but it does so unobtrusively. I also asked the proper parties before committing.
All games are tested and working after this patch.
* MB8884 is a I8035 ==> 12 addr, no internal rom map
* EA line high: external access - this is "default"
The whole EA implementation is as Aaron named it, cheeky. EA=1 external rom access, EA=0 internal rom access.
But all variants are treated the same, i.e. for i8035, MB8884, I8039, the external rom is used in the same
way as the internal.
These ports are actually ports which sink current on logical 0. With a logical 1, they are in high impedance mode and may be read. The high impedance is treated as logical 1 by TTL gates connected to them.
Fixed bug in my recent DISCRETE_MIXER update.
Note: the DISCRETE_MIXER bug caused most of the speed increase of its optimization and caused some games to crash. Donkey Kong is now at 14% faster on my machine then when I started. Better then nothing.
For those keeping score dkong was at 268% on my computer before I started optimizing. It now runs at 342%. The 555 and mixer changes also speed up just about every current discrete game.
- Added Magic's 10 version 16.15
- Remapped all inputs to match other poker games.
- Added a missing input to Magic's 10 games.

Magic's 10 (ver. 16.15) [Roberto Fresca]
Subject: few more patches
Hi,
enclosed please find a few patches:
TV_1.diff -> TV_4.diff: clean up of input ports for drivers starting with T,U,V
eeprom.diff: some remaining eeprom_bit_r made CUSTOM_PORT
stv_fix.diff: a small missing bit in my previous stv fix for bug 650. this patch assumes the previous has been applied and removes duplication of button 4 also from batmanfr (somehow I think I sent an outdated version of stv.diff previously)
That's all folks
Regards,
Fabio

Subject: [patch] Remove useless backslashes
Hi mamedev,
I've been using pmd 4.2.2 to analyze the MAME codebase for duplicate
code, and it's C parser complains about useless backslashes and
dangling defines in #if...#endif sections. Here's a patch that fixes
this, and additionally fixes one real bug, a string in djmain.c was
malformed, it's curious it compiled.

Subject: Stepper motor changes
Updated stepper motor code to use a MAME-style config interface, rather
than a load of setting functions. Changed optic functions to use clearly
defined start and end points. Added standard layout for Starpoint units
used in many machines. Updated all affected drivers.
PS. At one point, I was led to believe that the UPD sound chip would
have
support for its messaging pins added, is this still pending (I have Phil
B's old source here if it's needed). Such support would prove very
useful
for AGEMAME as many of the drivers in that that use that chip rely on it
for timing.
