memory: Stop the watchpoints from messing with the opcode decryption [O. Galibert]
necdsp_device: converted to devcb2 (nw)
removed some leftovers from previous devcb2 conversions (nw)
emupal.c: add support for RAM-based palettes with indirect lookups. Update various drivers to use it [Alex Jackson]
(MESS) pet_flop.xml: Replaced bad D80 for Z-RAM. [Mike Naberezny]
ttl74123_device: converted to devcb2 (nw)
voodoo.c: Fixed an edge case where CMDFIFO execution would get stuck if the first word in CMDFIFO buffer is written out of order. (nw)
chd updates: [MetalliC]
- Bugfixed byte order for GD-ROM audio tracks so FLAC compression is effective
- Fixed uninitialized struct on MSVC (and possibly other) builds


nw: this will change the SHA1s of every GD-ROM CHD in MAME; a patch to reflect that is pending (the old images still work, they just take a little more space than is necessary).  "chdman copy" suffices to upgrade; no downloading is necessary.
mahe the 68307's 68681 an actual sub-device instead of pairing it in the game driver (nw)
vic3_device: converted to devcb2 (nw)
This is untestable at the moment, since c65 shows nothing but a black screen
Fix r29545 w.r.t sockets and friends (nw)
don't memset structs or classes in C++, fixes regression from last commit (nw)
Naomi: small correction to World Kicks game code [f205v]
cdrom: fix uninitialized flags [MetalliC]
Fixed thunderh (gticlub.c) (nw)
Some changes/corrections to device descriptions per Dev request (nw)
Netlist:
- fixed a bug in which the fallback solver was called instead of gauss - seidel.
- matrix solvers are now subdevices of the solver devices
- matrix solvers can now be scheduled independently
- Rename RESCHED_LOOPS to GS_LOOPS (Gauss Seidel)
- Added paragmenter NR_LOOPS (Newton Raphson)
new clone added
--------------
Gun.Smoke (bootleg) [Felipe Sanches]
Fixed compile. (nw)
Netlist: templates rock ... Changed gauss seidel solver to be a subclass of direct solver and got rid of ugly fallback solution. As a result, popeye is now 45% faster in comparison to 0.153.
Converted ioport reads to use required_ioport in Tempest.
