added comment about other roms on this hardware. (anonymous)
-----------
(testing the water, if Arika aren't happy with comments mentioning them, then there isn't much chance of them ever being supported, seems smarter than just adding them outright)
Affected files:
mame\src\mame\drivers\neodrvr.c
mame\src\mame\includes\neogeo.h
mame\src\mame\machine\neoboot.c
mame\src\mame\machine\neoprot.c
Changes:
. Completed general cleanup
Sorting OEM / bootleg sets
Renaming roms on non OEM / bootleg sets to ONE naming sheme
Renamed functions
Cleaned up bootleg sets
Added some comments
Renamed sma in garou/garouo, added comment
Fixed several things in the jalmah.c driver:
*Fixed Mahjong Daireikai pseudo-random number generator;
*Fixed Otogizoushi Urashima Mahjong to make it playable;
*Fixed a start-up crashing bug in mjzoomin/urashima/daireika

Subject: snes special chips emulation
Hi,
the attached patch adds emulation for snes special chips DSP-2 & OBC-1. Changes:
- added sources snesdsp2.c & snesobc1.c (directly included in machine/snes.c as per Arbee's guidelines). credits mostly goes to byuu, which released to Public Domain his sources
- removed special chips detection from MAME (no nss / bootleg carts have special chips so far) and only left a variable has_addon_chip whose possible values are in includes/snes.h (it is initialized to HAS_NONE for MAME games)
- modified memory handlers to account for the new chips
Regards
Fabio

Subject: 2 small patches
Here are two small patches.
The first one remove a profiler_mark that has been forgotten in one of
the
last update in the tx1.c video driver.
The second is a small speed up in the neo-geo driver which gives a 0.5%
speed up on my machine.
- replace a loop with an equivalent memset
- remove a useless parameter I forgot to remove in a previous patch
Hope this help.
Best regards,
CJ
- Reworked the button-lamps matrix system.
- Documented both output ports.
- Connected coin in, key in and payout counters.
- Improved the lamps layout to be more realistic.
- Updated technical notes.

Delete previous submission! Functionally the same, just reordered
some source and added a comment. Thanks!
Space Duel: Add the P10/11 dip switch (only 4 switches instead of the
standard 8)
Let me know if you have any questions.

Note that this is caused by leaving entries in the bitmap
with an index larger than the palette size. This is forbidden
and now can lead to a crash in debug builds.
Added preliminary LD-V1000 emulation. Not fully working yet, but mostly
there.
Cleaned up and normalized the three existing laserdisc emulations.
Removed obsolete code from the laserdisc core.

still not really convinced by this conditional dip stuff.. it stands no chance of working on games where the coinage mode is in eeprom... (but i have no better suggestions)
