(nw) The constructor and set_tag methods for required_address_space and optional_address_space work slightly differently from other finders in that they take the address space number as an extra argument. There is also an option to request a space having a specific data width, and validation checks this as well as the space number. There is also no (required|optional)_address_space_array, but that shouldn't really be necessary since devices shouldn't need large numbers of these finders.

V.Smile Baby (Sweden) [Sean Ridde, Clawgrip]
e-kara (Germany?, includes 3 songs) [Sean Ridde, Team Europe]
Identified CPU die for Konami's My First DDR and Track + Field Challenge PCB type [Sean Riddle]
NOTES:
Megamax is some kind of nes_vt.cpp thing, with scrambled opcodes, maybe fits into an existing model, maybe doesn't. The recent nes_vt PCM patch probably needs reverting before release as there's been no sign of a fix and it breaks the Konami DDR games when sample playback should happen.
e-kara might be a headset version, need to check with Sean, the 3 songs aren't exclusive, but were previously only found on US carts, not European ones.
Jackie Chan J-Mat is the 2002 type XaviX CPU, so needs improved bitmap support etc. also has a 16MB rom when the basic address limit is 8MB, so is going to have some banking somewhere, at the moment it will just show an init error.
Thomas is also a 2002 type XaviX and doesn't seem to progress past what appears to be a half-drawn title screen at the moment.
V.Smile Baby does the same as the US set
My First Dance Dance Revolution does the same as Track and Field Challenge

-spg2xx: Various changes: [Ryan Holtz]
* Fixed Timer A and B counting at half the intended rate.
* Made do_sprite_dma write into m_spriteram shared pointer rather than hitting the memory system twice.
* Fixed vblank to automatically clear the IRQ on vblank-out.
* Made IRQ checking more consistent; no more redundant deassertions of various IRQ lines.
* Fixed TMB1 and TMB2 not activating if initialized to the lowest rate.
* Improved logging.
* Split up the different parts of ICO loading in the menus (locating files, scaling, drawing, etc.)
* Added icon support to software selection menu
* Added support for more ICO file variants, including PNG-in-ICO (new DIB parser is overkill for ICO but I can factor it out for BMP loading at some point)
* Added favourites filter for software menus - includes software that's favourited on any system, so GBC includes DMG favourties and vice versa
* Eliminated unnecessary member variables and O(n) walks in software selection menu
* Made the menus' cached texture structures a bit more efficient

* Add new softlist: original Apple II disks in WOZ format.
All existing 4AM dumps as of January 17th, 2019 are documented herein.
Tafoid assisted with a tool to automate large chunks of the process, but the tool wasn't perfect and the resulted required a second and third pass by eye.
I believe I have all the problems worked out and it passes -valid.
Last step for the moment is to go into the other Apple II softlist and start renaming the collision entries.
* Minor fix to softlist naming (nw)

This is an effort to separate netlist creation from netlist execution.
The primary target is to avoid that code which will only run during
execution is able to call setup code and thus create ugly hacks.
