Changes from Aaron Giles

------------------------

 

segaxbd.c:

* fixed missing sound in rachero/abcop

* used explicit sync to get rid of high interleave on loffire

* marked 317-0136.key bad until Nicola fixes it

* marked loffire as working now that the divide chip is better

 

segaic16.c:

* fixed several divide chip behaviors, fixing loffire and gprider

    - divide by zero just returns the divisor (needs to be verified)

    - mode 1 divides are unsigned

    - divides are only triggered by a write with A4 set

 

midvunit.c:

* turned off debugging code in the hotspots, giving a HUGE speed improvement

to the V-unit games (d'oh!)

 

 

Changes from Angelo Salese

--------------------------

 

realbrk.c

* Fixed Pachinko Gindama Shoubu sets (Normal and DX) and added specific controls to them.

  Games are now playable but with a hack on the backup ram,I don't know what's going on,

  probably it's just missing nvram emulation;

* Reorganized a bit the memory map in the driver;

 

2413intf

* Added two new functions for the YM2413 sound chip,

  YM2413_register_port_0_msb_w() and YM2413_data_port_0_msb_w(),they are used by pkgnsh.

 

splash.c

* Fixed Funny Strip sprite graphics.

 

jalmah.c

* Improved the MCU protection code for Mahjong Daireikai & fixed various ROM loading issues

  now more graphics are correctly displayed.
