Win Win Bingo (2 sets) [f205v, Filippo Tarderia]
Zoo [Brian Troha, The Dumping Union]
* Added lamps support to lucky8, lucky8a, lucky8b,
ns8liner, ns8linew and kkojnoli.
* Created lamps layout for the above sets.
* New inputs for ns8linew. This set has a second set of inputs,
and can be switched between them. No lamps activity or Big/Small
buttons are present while this alternative controls are used.
Maybe is a leftover.
* Some DIP switches were figured out. Coinage and limits are still
a real mystery since all DIP switches are reflected in the test mode.
* Remapped inputs to be straightforward with the control panel.
* Added the type (W-4/F-5) to the sets description.
* General inputs clean-up.

New Lucky 8 Lines / New Super 8 Lines (F-5, Witch Bonus)
[Roberto Fresca, incog, Smitdogg, The Dumping Union]
* Fixed inverted functions and buggy inputs.
* Added lamps support.
* Created button-lamps layout.
* Remapped inputs to reflect the controls layout. This way is more
user-friendly since controls are straight with button-lamps.
* Added coin/keyin/keyout/payout counters.
* Removed the pulse limitation in the BET input. This allow it to work
as BET and STOP2 properly.
* Added technical notes.
* Created complete inputs from the scratch.
* Added coin/keyin/keyout counters.
* Added main game and double-up rates DIP switches.
* Added minimum bet DIP switches.
* Added maximum bet DIP switches.
* Added complete coinage and remote credits DIP switches.
* Added jokers and demo sounds DIP switches.
* Figured out and documented all the game outputs.
* Created proper button-lamps layout.
Now the game is in full-working state.

Lucky Boy / Poker 72 [David Haywood]
vmetal: added driver data class and save states [Fabio Priuli]
no save states in metro.c (yet) because some games like 3kokushi have serious glitches when loading a state. any help is welcome...
* Reworked button-lamps layouts per game. Cleaned-up the code.
* Added specific button-lamps layout for bigdeal games.
* Added specific button-lamps layout for royalcrd & jolycdit,
but there is a bug in the d-up select code that lights the
wrong lamp. This is a leftover from jollycrd routines.
* Flagged vegasfte as GAME_NOT_WORKING, since is not receiving
any coins or remote credits anymore.

Five Clown (english) [Roberto Fresca, Grull Osgo]
Five Clown (spanish hack) [Roberto Fresca, Grull Osgo]
As previously discussed, this will be used for the MC680x0 FPU in
order to handle high-precision floats portably. The license is
included in README.txt and is MAME compatible.
Converted backfire.c, boogwing.c, dietgo.c, mirage.c, pktgaldx.c, simpl156.c, supbtime.c, tumblep.c to use the device-fied video chips [Fabio Priuli]
Added driver data struct and save states to the following drivers: dietgo.c, mirage.c, pktgaldx.c, supbtime.c and tumblep.c [Fabio Priuli]
side note: the device-fied code (currently included in video/decodev.c) still needs various refinements, but I will clean it up after all the drivers have been converted.
Added driver_data struct to the following drivers: mgolf.c, minivadr.c, mosaic.c and mrdo.c
Enabled save states to mugsmash.c (everything was already saved)
- added support for arbitrary number of containers for render_target
- added command-line parameter -debug_internal (-di) to use the internal debugger when in debug mode
- internal debugger supports all views except memory view
- added "Debug" view to layout/vertical.lay to create more place for debug views in vertical games.
The colors are ugly. Font rendering needs improvement. There are no shortcut keys right now. There is still a lot of room for more improvements.
However, it works and does not depend on any ui toolkit. The interface has been designed to support displaying views programmatically e.g. from the ui.
Currently, the ui render target is used. In order to support views being displayed in separate windows further changes are needed:
- the osd layer must support creating and closing windows (render targets) on demand.
- There must be a mode for render targets where their bounds follows the window size - Currently the render target size depends on the aspect of currently selected "artwork" view.
- Render target needs a name property.
Short HowTo:
- Start MAME with "-debug -di"
- Console, register and disasm views will be shown. Place them by dragging the view on the title bar.
- Views can be resized by dragging the bottom-right yellow square.
- The view having the focus has a green background title bar.
- Hit "Tab" (IPT_UI_CONFIGURE) to show the menu.
- Console and disasm views support a very simple facility to support entering commands and addresses. Just start typing. Hit "enter" when finished.
ACRTC implementation is a bit hacky due to its preliminary emulation status.

Joker's Wild (B52 system, Harrah's GFX) [Roberto Fresca, Tomasz Slanina, Gerald Vanderick]
Doesn't do much at the moment, but the increase in documentation value is
significant (we're documenting the sample compression format, for one thing).

This is just stage one of converting OG's stuff, please do not touch any
of it yet. Next up is the skeleton of the ZOOM chip, finishing up
the missing bits of the CPU core (the interrupt controller and timers), and
debugging the results.

- Added coin/keyin/keyout/payout counters.
- Limited the bet and coin pulses to avoid repeats and coin jams.
- Added complete coinage and keyin DIP switches.
- Added main game and double-up rates DIP switches.
- Added minimum bet DIP switches.
- Added maximum bet DIP switches.
- Added main game and double-up limit DIP switches.
- Added payout mode and auto take DIP switches.
- Added DIP locations as seen in the settings mode.
- Added demo sounds DIP switch.

Treasure Island (Subsino) [Team Europe, Dumping Union, Angelo Salese, David Haywood, Roberto Fresca]
- split dependences of system16 games from bootleg ones
- moved some .h files to includes/
- removed some unneeded include
- removed some dead code
- added driver data struct to segahang.c, segaorun.c, segas16a.c, sega16b.c, segas18.c, segaxbd.c & segaybd.c
- added save states to segas16a.c
Side notes:
* save states for other drivers do not work atm due to timer issues and/or missing item registrations in video/segaic16.c
* next, I'm going to see if bootlegs can be cleaned up a bit and if some segaic16 components can be device-fied
