u28 (color PROM) now has the proper size and seems correct.
u68 (graphics) is far way better, but still have some bad bits.
Removed all patched bits from the driver. These bits now are correct.
fixed Testers bug [01039]
-------------------------------
Updated cheat sytem drastically
* Supported (preliminary) new cheat format
- Added new operations
PDWWrite, RWrite, VRWrite, CWrite, Move, Branch, Loop, Popup
- Added new options
ValueSelectNegative, Return, AddressReadFrom, DataReadFrom
- Added cheat variables
You can store data with Write or Move operations and
read as an address or data from each fields
- Added condition check
for CWrite, Branch and Popup operations
- Added new custom codes
Separator, Layer
- Supported Shared Code [MESS ONLY]
different machine shares common code for a game
* Allowed mixed label-select or user-select with standard code
* Added label selector menu for label-selection code
* Added extend comment displayer for multi-line comments
* Added command menu for cheat list and watchpoint
Easy selectable cheat commands in this menu
* Added debug view menu [DEBUG BUILD ONLY]
It displays internal info to debug cheat system
* Supported unique separator by ui_draw_menu() in several menus
* Added user defined search region
You can set free memory range from cheat database
* Enhanced error check for cheat code to prevent from unexpected working
Error code is locked. If you select this code, the analyser works
instead of the code activater
* Enhanced value input with keyboard-less
Cheat edit key gives new input system in several menus
Left/right keys moves the edit cursor and up/down keys changes a value
* Added cheat command save, reload, reset in option menu
* Supported address shift in searching
Now searchable default region in TMS340*0 cpu games (Trog, Smash T.V. etc)
* Refined cheat menu handling with function pointer called cheat_menu_handler
* Added format strings table to manage in an integrated fashion
* Deleted unused hacks of default search region for Neo Geo and TMS34010
* Refined code based on MAME coding guidelines
- Renamed many functions/structures/constants
But not complete due to too many items
- Converted small but often used functions to INLINE
- Fixed a comparison in case of 0 or NULL
- Added missing function prototype for several functions
names are generated.
Added new astring functions astring_del, astring_replace, and astring_replacec
to help perform simple search/replace substitution.
1. In the MIPS core:
- renamed struct mips3_config -> mips3_config
- updated all drivers to the new names
- removed MIPS3DRC_STRICT_COP0 flag, which is no longer used
- a few minor cleanups
2. In the CPU interface:
- added new 'intention' parameter to the translate callback to
indicate read/write/fetch access, user/supervisor mode, and
a flag for debugging
- updated all call sites to pass an appropriate value
- updated all CPU cores to the new prototype
3. In the UML:
- added new opcode SETC to set the carry flag from a source bit
- added new opcode BSWAP to swap bytes within a value
- updated C, x86, x64 back-ends to support the new opcodes
- updated disassembler to support the new opcodes
4. In the DRC frontend:
- fixed bug in handling edge case with the PC near the 0 or ~0
01153: clshroad: [possible] The game is slow, the frame rate suffers, and even the calorie bar flickers.
00267: clshroad: [possible] Occasionally a cycler who's graphics are garbled will come along,
New Games Supported

ChuckECheese's Match Game [Exodus]
New Clones Supported

Fred Flintstones' Memory Match (US, High Score version, 3/10/95) [Exodus]

Fred Flintstones' Memory Match (Spanish, 3/17/95) [Exodus]
Changed error reporting during input port detokenization to fill a buffer
rather than fatalerror-ing immediately. Should now properly skip over
any invalid tokens.
Enhanced error detection during input port detokenization to catch
duplicate bits. There are a lot of these!
Updated initialization code to print errors and fatal only if the input
ports were unable to be constructed at all.
problem was double mapped input bits. Aaron, could we have a validity check for this? looks like it affects an number of drivers?
maybe also a validty check for unmapped port bits? surely all ports should be either 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit or 64-bit, and nothing else.. unused bits should be mapped as unused...
this is in addition to his previous 'japan' set addition.
(this driver seems to have developed some sound problems? no sound in several 'fred' sets, and no sound in chuck e cheese, lottofun reports eeprom error sometimes? any ideas?)
