Changed the Megatouch III roms 36 & 37 to be the same as the new redump based on my own redump of Megatouch IV and the rom names. IE: megat3.u36 == 9255-01_u36-ro the 01 in the rom name is the "revision" number. Normally the U36 & U37 doesn't change just U32 & U38 for program revisions.

Subject: PIC 8259 changes
Hello Aaron,
As I have announced before, here are some changes on pic8259.
for changelog:
[PIC8259] Adding support for 8080/85 mode interrupts
Please just check it against x86 platform, not sure if is_x86 in ICW4 is obligatory in case of using it on x86 platform.
Regards,
Miodrag
Subject: [patch] Small deprecat.h related cleanup
Hi mamedev,
While doing some work on eliminating some uses of deprecat.h, I came
across a few files that didn't have it that used deprecated features.
A little investigation revealed they were getting it through
debugger.h, typically by referencing m68000.h. Since deprecat.h is
intended to document the files that need updating (otherwise it would
just be included in a common header), I reworked debugger.h to not
import it when the debugger is not enabled, and fixed the files that
broke as a result.

Subject: Raimais (japan / First revision)
Diff + romset of Raimais (japan / first revision).
New game added: Raimais (Japan / First Revision)
0.119u3 (shinoblb, shinibld) as well as update some others. I cleaned up these flags many
releases ago for system16.c and system18.c. These two slipped in and I didn't notice until a
bug report was made on them:

Driver updates;
Consolidated, corrected and updated info
Verified Megatouch IV program rom
Corrected many rom names
Add game revision to game name (IE: 9255-40-01 ROE)
Added pals from Megatouch 6 to other sets as they all run on the same PCB
Add the sound clock update as forwarded from Aaron
- Added TICKET and HOPPER buttons to allow payout through the SUPER GAME.
- Documented the featured SUPER GAME with complete instructions.
- Improved DIP switches to properly set the payout system.
With these fixes, the payout system through SUPER GAME is now working properly.
General Changes:
- added support for mapping rom and ram in PPU video memory space
- added PinBot mapper (H board)
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status
---------------------------------------------------
PinBot (PlayChoice-10)
- Created a new machine driver for tenballs due to different memory map.
- Worked all the input ports from the scratch.
- Fixed the sound ROM_REGION.
- Added the oki6295 emulation to all games.
- Hooked output ports.
- Documented and calculated all bits related to lamps.
- Adjusted palette lenght to 256 colors.
- Totally decrypted the apple10 color matrix. Now colors are perfect.
- Created a new machine driver for apple10 due to encryption.
- Reverse engineering the code to complete the DIP switches.
- Added diplocations to DIP switches.
- Promoted snookr10, apple10 and tenballs to 'WORKING' state.
- Added game instructions & notes.
- Updated encryption & technical notes.
To initialize NVRAM (for all games), keep pressed ESTATISTICA (key '9') + MANAGEMENT (key '0'),
then press RESET (key F3), and finally release both (ESTATISTICA + MANAGEMENT) keys.
You must delete the old NVRAM and .cfg files first.
- Fixed AY8910 volume to all games to avoid clips.
- Merge bigdeal and funworld machine drivers thanks to the AY8910 rewrite.
- Removed old unaccurate commentary about magiccrd tiles.
this fix priorities in quizf1, riskchal amd maybe more m90 games
thanks to Corrado Tomaselli for testing my trojan in a bombrman PCB

Subject: [patch] Remove more Machine globals, #include "deprecat.h"
Hi mamedev,
The attached patch goes through and converts a number of Machine
globals to machine locals, and then removes #include "deprecat.h" if
appropriate. The script that generated it is included, since the
patch itself is rather large and would have been time consuming to
produce otherwise.
The script doesn't convert cases of Machine that aren't in common
macros. I'll try to tackle those later if someone doesn't beat me to
it.

Subject: [patch] Eliminate assignments in conditionals
Hi mamedev,
Assignments in conditionals are never really needed in C and are
occasionally just plain bugs (== gets typed as =). As such, it would
be good to remove these from MAME so that compilers that warn on this
construct can flag the likely bugs (MSVC does this for example). The
attached patch does just that. In addition, it refactors some
repeated code which had this in taito_f3.c into a couple macros. Using
inline functions would unfortunately have required more significant
changes, perhaps I'll tackle that another day.

01740: carnival, headon, heiankyo, pulsar, samurai, tranqgun : Is not possible to insert any coin
01721: sspaceat, sspacat2, sspacat3, sspacatc : Problems with inserting coins
01710: spacetrk, sptrekct: Cannot insert coins in both sets
* change DC offset for AY-3-8910 to 0.2V
* tones are now distinguishable again
galaxian.c:
* adjust "konami" sound volume
gyruss.c:
* adjust sound volume
* adds a model to calculate mixing of channels with different resistance loads.
* based on above, each channel may be assigned a different load in individual case
i.e. channels not tied together
* rewrote ay8910.c to make emulation simpler
* changed the config structure to include a flag field and output resistor loads.
* Updated all drivers affected.
* Added some "Todos" related to stuff I discovered when reading datasheets.
* Fixed a bug in disc_flt.c (konami filters)
galaxian.c:
* Fixed discrete sound and konami filter addressing
* Changed addressing of AY-3-8910 to be in line with schematics
gyruss.c:
* Added discrete sound for filtering ("konami"-style) and mixing.
Hello Aaron,
I have found few more things not ok in T11, this time I have fixed it myself.
1. HALT - should call interrupt vector
2. ILLEGAL - had PC=0 at the end which makes code not run fine
3. MARK - now it is implemented
Can you please check if your drivers are working fine with these cahanges.
After adjustments I have some things working finaly.
Please inform me,
Miodrag Milanovic
Subject: [patch] Fix 01711: connect4, mpu4met0, mpu4tst2, mpu4utst, bctvidbs: Using -CHEAT trigger causes a crash
Hi mamedev,
This patch fixes bug 01711. Given the location of the original assert
it is clear the original code wasn't quite right.

Subject: [patch] Fix 00149: No error report for invalid BIOS setting.
Hi mamedev,
This small patch makes specifying an invalid bios a fatalerror and
removes the need to expose system_bios to the drivers by reworking the
code in playch10.c to determine its bios more directly (in other
words, it removes an ugly hack). This should resolve bug 00149,
although I did not implement the popmessage as suggested.

Subject: [patch] Fix 01588 timecrsa, timecris: MAME simply quits after
pressing F3 in both sets, game cannot be runned
Hi mamedev,
This small patch fixes the crash in bug 01588 and seems to allow the
game to start in most cases. In some cases in my testing the board
failed startup tests, but that appears to be unrelated.

Subject: Rygar third set dump
I named this dump as set 2 since it's the bugfix version like set 1. Set
3 was renamed old version because it has some bad bugs.
I haven't seen any visible differences, it would be interesting to see
what has changed in the program and if it's a newer revision than the
set 1 in mame...
New clones added:
Rygar (US set 3 Old Version)
that forcibly kills the application after a certain number of seconds.
Primarily intended to be used in regression test runs to handle the
occasional hung game.
- iqblocka: bypassed the protection, emulated the video hardware, inputs and sound.
- tjsb: it now boots and has partially decrypted graphics.
