- Remove the iodevice_t classification, which was not used that much and was incomplete anyway. Image device implementations must now provide their own instance names and brief instance names. Several new parent classes have been created to make it easier to use the old standard names.
- Change must_be_loaded from a pure virtual function to be overridden in implementations to a getter for a base class property that can be set on the host side (as was formerly made possible for NES, MD and "generic" cartridge slots) but defaults to false for all types. This restrictive property has been unset for a small number of cases.
- Create parent classes for paper tape and magnetic tape devices. At present these are dummy classes that do little to nothing, but may help unify implementations in the future.
- Change several member functions to take std::string_view parameters rather than const std::string & or const char *.
- Make update_names take into account brief names, as discussed in PR #2555.
- Remove the obsolete uses_file_extension function (which used thread-unsafe strtok).
* portfolio_ccm_slot: Change image type from "cartridge" to "memcard"
* i7220, datapack: Add custom instance names that weren't there before
* pc11: Add note
First major step in splitting up machine classes in NEC PC98 family tree:
* Splits up derivative HWs into own state machine and files (pc98ha.cpp, pc9821.cpp and pc9801_epson.cpp);
* Adds a preliminary uPD4991a parallel RTC, used by pc98ha;
* Fix -26, -86, -118 C-bus sound board dips or jumper settings;
* Fix default sound card for pc9821 (-86) and pc9821ce2 / pc9821cx3 (-118);
* Adds preliminary MAD Factory Otomichan-kai C-bus sound board;
* Adds boilerplate code for C-bus installing board I/Os, avoiding the possible inconvenience of board(s) getting silently unmapped by other installed boards;
* Major refactoring of HW dip switches readouts, using required_ioports instead of scattering things around in PPI hooks;
* Extensive QA rundown, including research on missing features and undumped machines.
pc9801.cpp: Don't passthrough mouse irq frequency when cycle setting is setup too, fixes jastrike mouse input on options menu.
pc9801.cpp: Fix kanji RAM window LR readback, makes telenetm to properly display 8x16 chars on RS and derivative machines.
pc8801.cpp: fixed OPNA RAM readback, allowing SWs to playback ADPCMs properly.

Millennium M505 Arcade Neo Portable Spielkonsole (Family Sport 100-in-1) [TeamEurope]
* new NOT WORKING software list entries
tvgogo.xml : Baseball (US) [Sean Riddle, David Haywood]
tvgogo.xml : What-A-Mole (US) [Sean Riddle, David Haywood]
* added internal NAND dump to didj [Sean Riddle, Clawgrip]
* Split S-SMP and S-DSP implement in snes_snd.cpp

s_smp.cpp : Use callback for S-DSP interface, Split internal and external memory space
snes.cpp : Convert WRAM into shared_ptr
* s_dsp.cpp : Reduce #define macros
- com8116: Delete SY2661-1/-2 tables (these are just second sources of SCN2661A/B)
- mc2661: Remove obsolete device

This patch gets it running, and splits it into two front ends, one
being a rs232 bus slot so that is can be used as a terminal option. It
adds the MCM66750 character generator, and implements the MC6845 row
update function. Most of the I/O has been worked out with help from
the CT-82 user manual. The various screen formats and the graphics
modes appear to be working and plausible. Printer support has been
added, and a beeper.

nexus3d.cpp: add some preliminary work, currently does some VRender3d pipeline fill with a debug trick [Angelo Salese]
(out of whatsnew)
Some stuff definitely needs fine graining, like removing the few lines that are still necessary to configure the VRender0 from driver files, which I'm gonna do in my next feature branch.
