Subject: Fixed ID 2800 (gstream.c)
Hi. Actually it was a my mistake removing the cpu_eat_cycles thing. I was convinced it caused some sync issues but after some intensive testing I can say for sure it's right. Re-implement it makes the game run at full speed and there are no other problems. Sounds are in perfect sync with video. I'm sorry for my first wrong submission happened in 0.129 where I replaced this speed-up with a wrong one.
Regards.

-added custom 3-screen layout;
-added recently dumpped game "Stepping 3 Surperior"(incomplete ROM/CHD set);
The game name of "stepstag" romset is actually "Stepping Stage Special", not the original "Stepping Stage".
this clone fell through the cracks, I was checking my misc rom dir and there it was ;-)

Cannon Ball (Yun Sung) (vertical) [David Haywood]
or ENDIANNESS_BIG based on the LSB_FIRST definition. Unlink LSB_FIRST,
ENDIANNESS_NATIVE always exists and can be used in expressions without
invoking the preprocessor.
Added macro ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE() which selects one of two values based
on the endianness passed in. Also added NATIVE_ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE()
which calls ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE with ENDIANNESS_NATIVE.
Updated a number of drivers and call sites to use these macros in favor
of #ifdef LSB_FIRST.
