New System Drivers Supported:
-----------------------------
Texas Instruments Compact Computer 40 [hap, Jon Guidry]
I'm still working on this, looking for bugs in tms7000 core now
- R2R resistor network DAC.
- Dummy input device. This is used so that devices can exhibit terminals not yet used
such as V+ for opamps.
- Added a very basic macro model for norton opamps (LM3900)
- Added a current controlled current source (CCCS)

"Hi David
It was to my great disappointment that your work on the NeoGeo Multislot (Dec 2013) was not included in MAME. To aid the process I've taken your work and spent some hours addressing the concerns put forward by the developers. The code I'm sending to you converts Neo Geo to fully use slot devices for the cartridges and implements the multi-slot using techniques that have greater likelihood of being met with approval.
In some places the slot trampolines caused performance to drop below 100% so I've used methods to avoid them gathered by the study of other slot devices in MESS. Performance is the same as it was prior to this update.
I first sent this with the forms on the official site but received no reply so I'm turning to you directly.

- removed dead code from nld_signal.h
- removed m_last_Q and all callers; if a device depends on state let it maintain it.
- added development on a generic device based on truthtables.
The MMU is no longer emulated by modifying address maps at
runtime, an operation which has become excessively slow as the
core memory system has accumulated features and complexity over
the years. Instead, the MMU is now a device which works on
similar principles to the address_map_bank_device. The recent
multisession regression is fixed, all games in the driver
should now run substantially faster, and most importantly the
driver code is now much cleaner and easier to understand. [Alex Jackson]
i86.c: Four new 8086 opcode aliases: 0xc0 is 0xc2; 0xc1 = 0xc3; 0xc8 = 0xca; 0xc9 = 0xcb as documented at OS 2 Museum. [Bavarese]
rx50_dsk.h/c: Rainbow specific; The RX50 _disk drive_ was used in different architectures. Floppy format used by Rainbow-100 and -190. Track layout (post-amble, some positions) yet unverified. Currently only raw 400 K disk dumps are supported (*.img). [Bavarese]
-Updated LUA engine to run in machine_manager instead of being initialized per machine
-Added "-console" option so emulator can be started with LUA enabled console
-Update LUA to version 5.2.3
-Enabled SQLite3 to be compiled and added LUA module for it
