Mame whats new:
MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

bbmanw0101u4red [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
dirtfoxj063gra [Mamesick, Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Source Changes
--------------
Fixed a few more remaining issues from the 0.101u1 update.
[Aaron Giles, Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Fixed some bad tiles in naname. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Fixed music tempo in T.N.K.3/T.A.N.K. [R. Belmont, Kold666]

Began adding support for SCRIPTS programs to the 53C810 emulation.
[Nathan Woods, R. Belmont]

Fixed inputs in Passing Shot (Japan). [Ange Albertini, Barry Rodewald]

Added some missing sounds to Wonder Stick and Search Eye.
[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Fixed status flag from MCU in Taito SJ games, fixing the last digit of the
score in Front Line. [Nicola Salmoria]

Many fixes to the SHARC core and Konami PPC drivers. [Ville Linde]



Updated the discrete thump sound in Asteroids to use component values
instead of derived equations. [Hans Andersson, Derrick Renaud]

Added Tilemap0 color banking to esd16. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Fixed save/restore of 8253 PIT. Also several updates to Top Gunner:
[Mathis Rosenhauer]
* Removed shift register since it just seems to be needed to
compensate for different DAC speeds
* Added 8254 PIT from PC emulation
* Added state saving

Fixed bug in PSX GTE flag settings. [Olivier Galibert]

Fixed 6502 initialization so that all internal states are reset properly.
[Nathan Woods]

Changed the makefile so that debug objects are not compiled on non-debug
builds. [Aaron Giles]

Marked most gfx_layout and gfx_decode structures in the code as const.
[Aaron Giles]

Fixed handling of the FR bit in the Status register on MIPS3. This fixes a
few problems in CarnEvil, and probably affects a few other games as well.
Also fixed bug where TLB exceptions were not filling in the Context and
EntryHi registers correctly. [Aaron Giles]

Removed ROMREGION_SOUNDONLY. Since -nosound no longer disables sound CPUs or
sound cores (and hasn't for a while), failing to load sound ROMs was only
leading to crashes. [Aaron Giles]

Implemented pixel-accurate dithering in the Voodoo emulation. [Aaron Giles]

Renamed my_stricmp to mame_stricmp, converted all uses of stricmp in the
code to call mame_stricmp, and #defined stricmp to something invalid to
prevent code from using it in the future. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed implementation of mame_stricmp. [William Krick]
