- Thanks to Couriersud for fixing a rather stupid typo in the tromba (trumpet) section of the netlist.
- Cassa (bass drum) is currently disconnected as it causes issues with current simulation.
- Mixing melody with speech and SFX is done outside the netlist, and relative levels are probably wrong.
- Wide-ranging modernisation/cleanup: [Vas Crabb]
- Moved static data (short name, full name, source file) out of devices and into device types.
- Moved state class out of MACHINE_CONFIG_START, eliminating need for MACHINE_CONFIG_FRAGMENT and MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED_CLASS.
- Made game drivers add machine configuration in the same way as any other device.
- Added support for machine configuration in device members, allowing many internal handlers to be made protected or private.
- Moved many constants used internally by devices out of headers and into source files.
- Converted many constants to scoped enums, and reduced scope of many constants and types.
- Made many callback setters forward the parameter
- Cleaned up many names that are reserved because they begin with _[A-Z] or contain two consecutive underscores.
- Gave many devices more descriptive names, and renamed some device types and classes with overly generic names.
- Untangled fantasy sound and Microprose 3D noise from the driver state classes.
- Converted DECO BSMT2000 ready callback from a function pointer to a device delegate.
- Made many devices use object finders for subdevices rather than doing tagmap lookups later.
- Started to disentangle TI-99 from TI-990 and organised stuff by bus type.
- Made some TI-99 buses use slot/card interfaces properly.
- Turned some of the FM, SID, SCSP DSP, EPIC12 and Voodoo cores into idiomatic C++.
- Factored out some boilerplate for YM chips with PSG.
- Made Z180 table allocation/setup a bit safer.
- Improved encapsulation of Z80DART channels and SNES PPU.
- Converted generic keyboard and terminal to use a device delegate rather than WRITE8 since space/offset/mask aren't relevant.
- Made terminal device dynamically allocate buffer so derived devices (e.g. teleprinter) can specify size.
- Started to break out common parts of Samsung ARM SoC devices.
- Consolidated and de-duplicated forward declarations in src/emu, and removed some obsolete ones.
- Added #include guards to many headers that were missing them, and made many existing ones consistent.
- Removed rarely used output and PTY interfaces from emu.h prefix header.
- Improvements to auxiliary verbs: [Vas Crabb]
- Added support for device sets to -listroms (e.g. mpu401 or m68705p3).
- Added support for multiple names/patterns to -listroms, -verifyroms and -listxml.
- Added check that device short names don't exceed 32 characters in -validate.
- Made -listxml instantiate slot devices as children of slots rather than the root device.
- Improved performance of device type walk by at least two thirds.
- Converted many devices to use machine configuration in member functions. [Vas Crabb, Ivan Vangelista]
- exidy.cpp: Added PROMs from bootleg to mtrap sets as bad dumps. [f205v, Ivan Vangelista]

- Sean Riddle, Lord Nightmare]
- Irem audio: Replaced generic latch with more accurate emulation: [Lord Nightmare]

- Corrected ROM names/comments and added rom types based on PCB pictures
- Noted that revngr84 is a newer set than revenger based on ROM numbering
- Implemented Tristar 9000 hardware AY-3-8910 port A 'multiplexer'
- Switched Tristar 8000 hardware to use AY-3-8912 as shown on schematics
- BP1200: Mostly traced out the SM48D socket module. [Lord Nightmare]
- Added a note and flag indicating that Williams' Mayday has unemulated protection that is currently hacked around. [Lord Nightmare]
- Cleaned up GENie Lua scripts and corrected some header file names. [dankan1890]
- Made software list menu appear if appropriate when starting a machine from the Favorites menu. [dankan1890]
