- Changed the UPD7759 emulator to support two chips ('88 Games needed this) and fixed a bug in the ADPCM decoding [Ernesto Corvi].
- The gfxdata field of the GfxElement structure is no longer a osd_bitmap *; it is instead a simple unsigned char *, pointing to a continuous stream of pixel data. The new line_modulo and char_modulo fields are helpers to find the offset in the array [Nicola Salmoria].
- Updated the 68000 C core [Karl Stenerud].
