Changes from Antiriad:
- Fixed memory trashing bug in layer toggle (caused crashes with f3 games).

(use save_game_screen_settings in raine.cfg).

- Replaced roms/ziprom paths, now there are 4 paths, which are used for *both*
roms and ziproms (instead of 3 for zipped, 3 for unzipped).

file names, if this is a problem (in real dos), see below...

ages ago when I did the other games...).

-----------------------+-----------------+----------+-------------------------------
Changes from Hiroshi:
- Updates to M6295/MSM5205 emulators.
- Some updates to the other sound sources too.
Changes from Spindizzy:
- Static M68705 recompiler.
- Bubble Bobble (hardware info from the mame driver by Chris Moore, Oliver White,
Nicola Salmoria, Marco Cassili.
Changes from Antiriad:
- Added PSX pad driver for Playstation pads via LPT1/2/3.
- Added a couple more Combatribes dsw (thx mayuga).
- Various code changes, so it compiles with msvc5.0/direct-x via allegro392x wip.
- Coin Inputs are now only active for 250ms when you press them. This fixes the
'Coin Error' problems in Taito games (caused by holding the coin buttons down).
- Fixed Puchi Carat running too fast.
- Added Trackball control to Arkanoid Returns and Puchi Carat. Enter the test mode
to enable it (or delete the eeprom images in savedata).
- In no gui mode, the tab key will reactivate the gui (req. by Bubble ).
- Replaced some sample backback with streamed channels (better sync in a couple of
games).
- Added LED emulation to Tatsujin 2, Snow Bros 2, Whoopee, Knuckle Bash.
- Added -gameinfo option, prints info for games in a shark and mame syntax especially
for frontend authors.
- Improved key names a bit (eg. 'minus' becomes '-', 'stop' becomes '.').
- Added new control defaults for pinball games (incase some more get dumped)
- Made an M6585 emulator needed by Grand Cross Pinball.
- Added year info to all the games.
- Added the 320x240 arcade monitor mode from brian lewis... It should work fine.
- Changed the screen selector, so that the list of resolutions changes depending
on what gfx driver is highlighted. For example, it only shows 320x200 for VGA,
only shows possible resolutions for mode-x, only shows 320x240 for arcade
monitor... Now it is easy to see which resolutions are possible for each
driver :).
- Added Object and BG double buffer to tnzs-system. Now the sprites move a lot
better in Insector X and Extermination.
- Cheat info lines can be edited in the gui like the other cheat data.
- Moved [General] -> LanguageFile is now [Directories] -> language_file.
- Added [Directories] -> cheat_file.
- Renamed tripple_buffer -> triple_buffer (oops).
- Added Cheat patch type, read the info in cheats.cfg.
- Changed screen setup, so the size can be dumped.
- Fixed screen size in Darius, Ninja Warriors.
- Added led emulation to Darius, Warrior Blade.
- Cadash cutting music should be fixed.
- Added better support for rom sharing/merging, so more mame sets should work.
- If a rom is not found, it will search for it in the parent game, and if a rom
is not found in the parent game, it will check the parent game to see if the
rom is merged with a different filename (by searching for matching crc32 and
size data).
- Improved some bits of chase hq.
- Added starscream 0.26a. Seems to work, but I feel the new interrupt system
might break some games... Didn't find any yet though.
- Fixed snow bros 2 and tatsujin 2 stalling with no sound selected.
v0.23: "Sidewinder release"
Changes from Antiriad:
- Added support for 12 buttons on each joystick.
- Added new default joystick settings:
button 9 = player start (this button is the 'start' button on a sidewinder)
button 10 = player coin slot (this button is the 'mode' button on a sidewinder)
It's great, now I can play on raine without leaning over the keyboard =).
- Fixed sidewinder in allegro (added a second copy of the code as 'sidewinder b').
From what I can tell, the 'sidewinder b' should function the same as the system16
driver...
- BIG THANKS to Paul G. for the sidewinder gamepad :).
- Added Player 3 and 4 Controls in Snow Bros 2, Hit the Ice.
- Fixed Taito Tetris romlist (2 of the listed roms were unused).
- Fixed tripple buffer interfering with frame skip radio buttons in gui.
- Fixed most sprite sync in Tatsujin 2.
- Fixed most priorities in Master of Weapons, Ashura Blaster.
- FG0 banking in B-System (eg. screen clear in Rambo 3, FBI logo in Violence Fight),
- Updated translation template.cfg (oops, forgot).
- Changed Frame Skip option in gui.
- Replaced Tripple Buffer scroll routines, so they (should) work with vbe/af.
- Added Combatribes player 3 controls and dsw to activate them (thx mayuga).
- Changed TNZS guide url in cheats.txt (thx chris).
Non Changes:
- We didn't publically add any new games since 0.22.
- We didn't make any modifications to the Chase HQ emulation.

-----------------------+-----------------+----------+-------------------------------
Game Name | Company/System | Dumper | Info
-----------------------+-----------------+----------+-------------------------------
Bomb Jack Twin | NMK (c)NMK | Metalman |

-----------------------+-----------------+----------+-------------------------------
Changes from Hiromitsu Shioya:
- Updated all sound emulators, updated sound playback system.
- Fixed Darius object - bg1 priority.
Changes from Antiriad:
- Fixed Maze of Flott FG0 scroll typo (maybe fixes some other games too).
- Fixed Arkanoid 2 buttons and reset bug on nzs-system games.
- Fixed Insector X level 2 bug, renamed to insectx because of mame (was insectrx).
- Added a pixel double option in raine.cfg (for NaMcO's dodgy monitor).
- Added some alternate search modes (see docs).
- Converted about 15 games to slightly slower colour mapping/tile drawing, now
no games need vsync to be enabled, and the vsync autodetect option is gone.
- Removed any listed resolutions where Y < 200. You can still select these from
raine.cfg, but they aren't much use, so they are undocumented.
- Made palette code keep colours locked for 3 frames instead of 2, I
think this is necessary for tripple buffer on some slow gfx cards?
- Keys now move around the load game list (eg. 's' to jump to saint dragon).
- Fixed Toki continue dsw.
- Type raine -romcheck to check all games, and raine -romcheck to check
a single game (output is in romcheck.txt).
- Added mame tripple buffer scroll routine, which is a hack of allegro's vesa_scroll,
it does not behave well with all gfx modes (vesa3 is good vbe/af is not always good).
- Added Sega ISA joystick driver. Does it work? Nobody knows...
- Added memory hex view window when you double click on cheat search results.
- Changed M6295 interface, since Bomb Jack Twin has many rom banks.
- Added crc32 and file size info for all roms (too many req's).
- Added multiple rom directory names, also with long file names :).
- Expanded Load Error messages, they are in a scrollable text box now.
- 100% decoded Bomb Jack Twin gfx roms.
- Game list mode is saved in raine.cfg (requested by some ppl).
- Added fast_set_pal in raine.cfg. 1 = Use faster colour loading (raine 0.20).
0 = Use slower colour loading (raine 0.18; compatible with more cards). Default
is 1.
- Added Autofire setup in gui. Try using a test mode (eg. mega blast)
to test it out :). Autofire settings are not saved, should they be?
- Gui font is proportional, except in listboxes, where it makes sense to be non-prop.
- Scanlines are now black in Rainbow Islands.
- Fixed Cheat engine for Z80 games. Tested with TNZS, Raimais, Fighting Hawk.
- Impossible Joystick positions are now prevented. So, you can press up or down,
but you cannot press up and down simultaneously, etc... Fixes some bugs, like
on Ninja Warriors, pressing left, right and up all together caused bad stuff
to happen to the main player.
- Added default joys and a default joys editor, works like the keyboard stuff.
- Added led emulation to Darius 2 and Ninja Warriors.
- Fixed wrong joystick buttons for player 2 in space gun and op thunder.
- Added default keys and a default keys editor. Changed all game drivers.
- Fixed Dinorex lockups, caused by bad programming in the rom, leaving trash in
some bits of the address registers.
- Made Action Replay cheat names max 256 chars.
- Added file selector option when setting zip/rom dirs.
- Added some game info window, with some company logos.
- Added button 3 in Violence Fight, 6 buttons in Kaiser Knuckle.

- Much faster zooming routines (Operation Thunderbolt/Space Gun).
- Idle 68000 skipping in virtually all games (gives speed increase).
- Removed UAE 68000 engine (all 68000 games are Starscream'ed now).
- Inserted UAE 68020 engine (Taito F3-System).
- Inserted Marat Z80 engine (For Op Wolf bootleg c-chip, I'll use a faster one
soon).
- Early Sound (adpcm samples only) for WrestleFest, Double Dragon 3, Zero Zone.
- Mouse support (Op Wolf, Op Thunderbolt, Space Gun).
- Joystick support (hopefully it works...).
- Dipswitch support for some games (early, but seems ok).
- Simple Save/Load support (F2/F4), Toggle FPS (F11).
- Auto frame skipping, scanlines hack, less ugly gui.
- Compiled with Allegro WIP beta, this adds vesa3 and vbe/af drivers for screen
selection.
- Other various cleanups/optimizations not worth mentioning (all games faster)
