    Source Changes
    --------------
    More merit, getrivia, and findout improvements: [wolf676]
    - added external coin counters and coin lockouts
    - fixed lamps in upright and cocktail modes
    - getrivia.c: fixed sound in selection and clone
    - located ticket out bit in trivia games and commented it in
    both drivers.
    - fixed merge collision from u5


    Input port cleanup and additional comments in the CPS1 driver.
    [steph]


    Fixed ES5503 behavior for voice volumes > 127 (cures missing
    sounds/music notes in several Apple IIgs demos and games).
    [R. Belmont]


    Made MSC1937 operation more accurately match datasheet and wiring
    diagram. Added indexed getters to the output system to match the
    newly introduced setters. [El Condor]


    Changed input port calculations to go in two passes, to catch
    out-of-order conditionals properly. [HobbesAtPlay]


    Fixed priorities in the m62 driver, mainly affecting Lode Runner
    sequels. [robiza]


    Fixed PNG code so that it doesn't NULL terminate tEXt chunks.
    [Mathis Rosenhauer]


    Changed disassembler override callbacks to match new disassembler
    syntax. [Nathan Woods]


    Changed artwork loading to be on-demand rather than all up-front.
    Also added a message during artwork resizing/loading so it's more
    clear what is going on. [Aaron Giles]


    Added new osd function osd_break_into_debugger() which can be hooked
    to cause a break into the OSD's debugger when an assertion or
    fatal error occurs. Hooked it up on Windows to do just that.
    [Aaron Giles]


    Normalized exit codes from mame.exe. The core-specific ones are
    defined in mame.h. The Windows build will also return code 100 on
    an unhandled exception now. [Aaron Giles]


    New clones added
    ----------------
    Astro Combat (older, PZ) [f205v]
    Funky Bee (bootleg, harder) [f205v]
