Version 0.74u2

Released: 2003-10-06

General Source Changes

• The TESTDRIVER system has been removed, all drivers are now enabled working or not, this decision was made by several members of the development team. The drivers that were previously TESTDRIVERS are still marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING so can be filtered out easily with a front-end. Please note, the enabling of these drivers does not indicate they're any closer to working than when they were first added and in many cases it could still be several years before they work depending on when they're worked on and how difficult they prove to be. We're always looking for talented programmers to work on and improve Mame, some of these drivers could be a good place to start (others may be near impossible to fix)

• If any GAME_NOT_WORKING flags have been missed let us know at Mametesters

• Added MCU emulation to Tiger Heli [Tomasz Slanina]

• Various SegaPCM fixes [Olivier Galibert]

• Fixed some V60 Floating Point Operations and made core exit on unhandled opcodes, note UltraX doesn't work again [Olivier Galibert]

• Fixing missing continue graphics on actfancr [Bryan McPhail]

• Fixed recently introduced tp84 video bug [David Haywood]

• Fixed Config Saving Bug [BUT]

• Various Dipswitch Fixes [Iñigo Luja]
