bank manipulation APIs from memory_manager, and instead added a
memory_manager::bank("tag") function which will return a pointer to
the representative memory_bank. Operations can then be performed as
expected directly on the memory_bank. Most code did not need an update
yet, as I haven't done the search/replace to move away from global
functions (which still exist for now).
Added device_t::subbank("tag") to return a bank that is owned by the
given device.
Switched YM2151 interfaces over to devcb callbacks.
Created proper sound devices for the Williams NARC, CVSD and ADPCM
sound boards. Updated midyunit, midtunit, williams(joust2), and
mcr68(archrivl/pigskin/trisport) to use the new devices.
Discovered similarities in gotcha.c to Data East Bootleg sprites, also happening to be the closest implementation to Silver Millennium in the sources. Refactored each based on this information. [David Haywood]
sound devices for each of the Midway 8-bit sound
boards. This will also aid in eventually hooking them
up to pinballs.
Enhanced the mixer interface support to allow for
more than one output line. To use this you need to
use the MCFG_MIXER_ROUTE macro instead of
MCFG_SOUND_ROUTE so that the mixer output index can
be specified. See midway_ssio_device for an example.
* Reworked Inputs for all games.
* Added button-lamps support.

* Added mech counters support.
* Promoted all games to working state.
* Renamed the mdrawpkra ROMs based on PCB picture.
* Renamed the driver to meyc8080.c
* Added technical and game notes.

This update passes validity checks but will certainly have
a number of drivers failing at startup because all pointers
are defaulted to required by the automated scripts used.
Will fix problems once we get a regression run to find out
which drivers need attention.
- This game has mechanical parts so it's not exactly playable, but it is possible try it until the end giving the expected inputs.
- Imported the i8279 device from MESS and updated to support sensor
mode and mask nibble.
- Made a simple layout and the defined input ports.
New clones marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
