Subject: bootleg manufacturers inconsistent
Hello,
Attached is a diff that fixes some inconsistencies with bootleg
manufacturer names, eg. using Bootleg (big B), or using the
original company if the rom is a bootleg.

Subject: scudhamm analog controls improved
Hi,
Attached is a diff for mame 0133 that changes Scud Hammer analog controls
from paddle to accelerometer. Previously, if you did nothing, the paddle
control caused the hammer to smash automatically.
Greets,

Panther [Angelo Salese, robiza]
Merging some of the duplicated code in nmk16.c, and attempting to handle the larger tilemaps used by Thunder Dragon 2, Rapid Hero and Macross 2 in a more correct way. This has fixed some glitches in the intro of Rapid Hero without breaking the ingame graphics. [David Haywood]

Panther [Mr. Do]
(issues should be very simple to fix, I don't have free time to check them out in these days so if anybody wants to fix them...)
Also, not worth mention, I've done some readability tweaks and fixed some crashes in cham24 and multigam (due to wrong copy and paste in the original diffs). multigam.c games still have some issues (which I'm trying to fix with Rob's help)
Please list the as follows under New Clone Added (and not the New Game that I had originally)
