new clones
Raiden II (US, set 2) [farzeno]

also attempted to identify regions / rename sets to fit.

interestingly the 'easy' sets do not show a JAPAN message even when the region is 0x00 (or when the region is 0x04, which is the Korean region on RDX)

added generic cartslot / ROM socket slot device, which offers
basic allocation and access handlers, and converted a few 
drivers to use this instead of code from cartslot.c [Fabio Priuli]

out of whatsnew: the RAM socket part is just a proof of concept,
and the natural extension of the line of thought which lead me
to this generic socket/cartslot. it might allow to convert current RAM 
device to be a slot device as well (after some refactorization, of 
course, since current code lacks many of the necessary features), 
or be removed soonish, depending on consensus.

softlist: restored the support for loading games from compatible
softlists (like gbcolor games in gameboy, and viceversa, msx1
carts in msx2, etc.) by using the syntax
  mess system -media list:gamename 
You can now for instance use again "mess gbcolor -cart gameboy:sml"
to play "Super Mario Land" with the custom palettes of the Game 
Boy Color. [Fabio Priuli]

mark save as supported, seems to work now (nw)

(I think at this point we should go over the source and flip the flag to GAME_NO_SAVE for drivers lacking support, rather than having to flag it when it works, also maybe add the ability to tag devices so if a driver is using a device without support it will automatically inherit that state)

NS8250 Fixes [smf]
Loopback: tx goes high and data is clocked at the correct rate instead of appearing instantly
Modem status register: don't lose track of external signals when starting, resetting, switching loopback off, writing to register
Handshaking: active low for consistency (RS232 port now defaults handshaking lines high and serial mouse dtr/rts handling has been adjusted).

(MESS) a2600.c: fixed mapper 3E support, as used by Boulder Dash

able to test the code in future. nw.
