These drivers have improved GRAPHICS:
-------------------------------------
- Fixed colors in 'Fast Freddie' (sorry... this slipped by in 0.33 final).
- In 'Mario Bros.', the screen bounces when you hit POW [Brad Oliver].
- Improved 'Slap Fight' [Christoff Feldtmann].
- Accurate colors in 'Money Money' and 'Jack Rabbit' [Nicola Salmoria].
- Enemies in 'TNZS' are now visible, using the gfx ROMs from a new set (which is not supported yet) [Chris Moore].
- Fixed sticking sprites in "Pnickies' and 'Nemo' [Paul Leaman].


These drivers have new or improved SOUND:
-----------------------------------------
- Sound in 'Gladiator' [Steve Ellenoff].


These drivers have HIGH SCORE support:
--------------------------------------
- 'Pinball Action' [Dani Portillo].


Source changes:
-------------------
- The original 'Elevator Action' now works, using the 68705 mcu ROM which was missing. Since there is one additional CPU to emulate, it is slower than the bootleg version [Nicola Salmoria].
- Replaced Front Line with the complete set containing the 68705 code. It still doesn't work though [Nicola Salmoria].
- Replaced 'Golden Star' with the original, encrypted set [Mirko Buffoni].
- Improvements to the System 8 driver [Nicola Salmoria].
- Fixed a bug in the NOT instruction of the 68000 core [Mike Coates].
- You can proceed from the "press OK to continue" screen by pushing left then right. You can also immediately quit by pressing ESC [Nicola Salmoria].
- Moved the Sega encryption code used by 'Flicky', 'Future Spy', and many others, to machine/segacrpt.c [Nicola Salmoria].
- Added memory_region_length field to the RunningMachine structure. This could be useful for drivers which handle several games on similar hardware [Nicola Salmoria].
