Fixed M65C02 optimization. [Peter Trauner]

 

TMS51xx and M58817 speech updates: [couriersud]

- radarsc1 uses tms5110 speech synth

- cvs games: according to PCBInfos speech chip is TMS5100. Changed driver to use TMS5100 and "game system operational" now sounds more natural

- added support for multiple coefficients maps to tms5110.*

- fixed interpolation factors (see tms5110r.c for reason)

- made lattice calculation precision 9bit

- added support for READBIT and LOADADDRESS commands to tms5110.c

- more changes in line with various patents

- documented TRS-02, TKG-02/03 "voice" interface

 

Completed the addition of static qualifiers to all MAME symbols that aren't explicitly exported. [Atari Ace]

 

Named the input_seq_type enumeration and used it explicitly in several places. [Nathan Woods]

Replaced tekken2/tekken2a/tekken2b 'tes1wave.8k' ROM with the correct, non-byte-swapped dump. [Philip Bennett]

 

Added discrete 74LS624(56789) implementation [couriersud]

- DISCRETE_74LS624 is a VCO needed for dkongjr

Documentation and clock frequency improvements for seta.c: [brian Troha]

- Corrected rom name for Thundercade

- changed clocks to OSC by divider IE: 16000000/2 /* 8MHz */

- Changed Orbs clock to 16MHz with note about 14.xx MHz

- Changed Meta Fox's x0-006 (65c02) to same as Thundercade

- Changed the YM3438 in Ultra Toukond Densetsu from 6MHz to 1600000/4 /* 4MHz */ as there is no mention of 6MHz OSC on PCB

Fixed several memory leaks related to SCSI CD emulation. [Oliver Stoneberg]

 

Removed the increasing of the R register from each IX/IY related (FD xx or DD xx) instruction on the Z80. According to documentation and the behavior of the Amstrad CPC driver, this is incorrect. [barry Rodewald]

 

Added initial FPU support to the SH4 core. [samuele Zannoli]

 

Adjusted most conditional logging in MAME to use the idiom "do { if (VERBOSE) logerror x; } while (0)". This has the benefit that the compiler checks the syntax of the logging even in the case it will be eliminated, and in fact a number of cases here needed adjustments to compile because of this.
