Also removed redundant m_machine from the state and execute
interfaces to fix ambiguity when using m_machine from within
a device that inherits from these.
- Implemented reel layer
- Fixed rogue tiles in xplan
- Hopper emulation in bishjan
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status

So if I read this right, you updated the ASC, then decided to enforce
sound_stream_update() as a pure virtual function, and didn't update the ASC
again? :)
The luminance normalization now converts r,g,b to y,u,v and
normalizes y prior to converting back to r,g,b. This affects e.g. radarscp, dkong and mario drivers. [Couriersud]

Subject: [patch] Add driver_device to some Atari drivers
Hi mamedev,
This patch eliminates static/global variables in a number of Atari
drivers by moving them into a driver_device.

into one file, and separated the speaker device into its own file.
Generalized the concept of dynamically assigned inputs and re-wired the
speaker to work this way, so it is now treated just like any other
sound device. Added methods to the device_sound_interface for controlling
output gain and mapping device inputs/outputs to stream inputs/outputs.
Also made the sound_stream_update() method pure virtual, so all modern
sound devices must use the new mechanism for stream updates.
Primary changes outside of the core are:
stream_update(stream) == stream->update()
stream_create(device,...) == machine->sound().stream_alloc(*device,...)
sound_global_enable(machine,enable) == machine->sound().system_enable(enable)
Beyond this, the patterns are relatively obvious for the remaining calls.
Comment: There are still a few issues with some games where the data might need refining. The following sets do not work, even as a 1 slot game but work as normal sets; (mt_tetri, mt_gng, mt_fwld, mt_srbb)
Notes out of whatsnew.txt
* It's sure to have bugs, but it should get the job done for now.
* It's unbelievable how many typos (major or otherwise) docs like this have.
* I haven't heard from s_bastian about making the ROM images available in the
monkey project, but we'll have 'em up as soon as he pops up again.
* Does anyone know of any hardware that incorporated one of these? I'm looking
for things to disassemble in the meantime :).
