Big Karnak (Modular System) [Recreativas.org, ArcadeHacker, ClawGrip, David Haywood]
as with other Modular System things, it's not really very close to original hw at all (and uses different boards in a different configuration to other modular system setups) so new driver
* rad_hnt3 misc improvements (nw)
* better support for alt modes used in rad_hnt3 and rad_foot
* tidy/comments (nw)
* test note (nw)
* actually not a special case (nw)
* document other test modes (nw)
* palette selection improvements (nw)
* switch according to test mode (nw)
* improved palette handling for rad_foot (7bpp mode)
* ramsize (nw)
* exploring the ram based layer (nw)
* ram tile layer in hnt3 is 2bpp, hardcode stuff for now until we've found the proper register bits
* slight refactor (nw)
* some palette fixes (nw)
* fix 2bpp tile colours (nw)
* rename rad_eu to elan_eu
* rework tile pri (nw)
* refactor (nw)
* note updates (nw)
* kludge (nw)
* some weird regs notes (nw)
* new NOT WORKING clones

Gals Panic (Modular System bootleg) [Juan Romero, Recreativas.org, ClawGrip, David Haywood]
these things are *ugly* from a hardware perspective (massive 6 board stack just for Gals Panic with many, many code hacks to work around hardware changes) so I felt it best to create a new driver with the background bits copy+pasted; the sprites + sound system specific to these bootlegs will need adding.
* bleah (nw)
- dxsdk was missing from includes
- winmm was missing from libs
- narrowing warning was silenced for VS, but not from vsllvm, where it leads to an error in menu_video_options::handle()
* hp9845: fixed handling of optional ROMs (nw)
* z80sio: massive enhancement to Z80 SIO driven by HP98046 test sw
* hp9845: implemented the HP98046 serial I/O module
* Bally pinball by35: Move pinball sound boards to a new file.
* Bally pinball by35: Move as8888 code to a proper device.
* Bally pinball by35: Add Cheap Squeak sound board.
* m6801: Fix bug where irq is never triggered.
* Bally pinball by35: Mark the AS888 games as non-skeleton.
* Bally pinball by35: Refactor state classes.
* Add support for pcnfrk2m - Percussion Freaks 2nd Mix (GE912 VER. KAA)
* WIP audio for k573dio
* WIP
* Move 3rd party library to 3rdparty folder
* Use MAME's BIT and bitswap
* Fix regression which caused songs to stutter/lag when they should have been read completely in one shot
* Replace gain_to_db switch with equivalent math
* smartfp generate an interrupt, add a palette (nw)
* video registers look a lot like the spg220 hw here (nw)
* getting ready to split into video (nw)
* code shuffle (nw)
