Source changes:
---------------
- Fix to allow a driver to have MSM6295s and plain ADPCM voices coexist (required for gcpinbal) [R. Belmont].
- Full sound/music in 'Grand Cross' [R. Belmont].
- Improved 'Bishi Bashi' colours [Angelo Salese].
- Fixed 'Crazy Kong (Scramble hardware)' sprites [Pierpaolo Prazzoli].
- Updated 'Double Dragon' driver [Bryan McPhail]:
  * Correct video & interrupt timing derived from Xain schematics and confirmed on real DD board.
  * Corrected interrupt handling, epecially to MCU (but one semi-hack remains).
  * TStrike now boots but sprites don't appear (I had them working at one point, can't remember what broke them again).
  * Dangerous Dungeons fixed.
  * World version of Double Dragon added (actually same roms as the bootleg, but confirmed from real board).
  * Removed stereo audio flag (still on Toffy - does it have it?)
- Various ST-V improvements [Angelo Salese]:
  * Twin16/TMNT fixes [Curt Coder].
  * Fixed cuebrick NVRAM handler.
  * Added watchdog reset.
  * Fixed mia/mia2 inputs/dips.
  * Fixed visible area in cuebrckj/mia/mia2.
  * Changed cuebrckj to "Cue Brick (World version D)", since text is in English).
- TMS32031 fixes [Aaron Giles]:
  * Many fixes to the TMS32031 core; 'Offroad Challenge' is almost playable as a result, minus the fact that the clipping plane seems to like clipping out the cars during the race. But the terrain problems are fixed at least.
- Memory annoyance fix [Aaron Giles]:
  * Unmapped memory accesses always reported the raw byte address, not the CPU-level address. This is annoying for chips like the TMS34010 or the TMS32031, so now the effecitve offset is logged instead, taking into account the address shift.
- Some Input Port Corrections [Robin Merrill, fixed by Bryan McPhail].
- OSD fix [Aaron Giles]:
  * This is a minor fix to enable the OSD for non-debug builds regardless of the -debug flag.
- Misc fixes [Nathan Woods]:
  * Adds a handful of comments to uifontdata[].
  * Changes character 14 to a solid circle; previously this character was blank and unused.
  * Miscellaneous changes within #ifdef MESS.

	* Motion object checksums work for growth games.
	* Sprite/playfield priorities work for growth games.
	* No more 6502 speedups.
	* drivers/atarig1.c: Added support for the MO command register -- MO checksums now work. Added missing SHA1 values and marked some ROMs as NO_DUMP. Removed 6502 speedups.
	* drivers/atarig42.c: Added support for the MO command register -- MO checksums now work. Added SLOOP emulation for 'Guardians of the Hood', which is fully playable. Added missing SHA1 values. Removed 6502 speedups. Documented color MUXing. Removed old orientation code. Added MO/playfield priorities.
	* drivers/atarigx2.c: Added support for the MO command register -- MO checksums now work. Hooked up CAGE audio. Added missing SHA1 values. Documented the overly complicated color MUXing. Added MO/playfield priorities. Added support for the MO command register -- MO checksums now work. Added missing SHA1 values. Added another 'Road Riot's' Revenge variant. Some input port tweaks.
