Source changes
--------------
- scripts/3rdparty.lua: Enabled -Wno-tautological-compare for BGFX in order to evaluate turning it off for MAME [R. Belmont].
- cpu/es5510: Removed hack that never could possibly have worked, comparing a uint8_t to a 24-bit constant [R. Belmont].
- midway/midvunit.h: Fix range error in "Galil" wheel controller emulation [R. Belmont].
- stfight_dev: Correct a comparison of an uint16_t with -1 [hap].
- cpu/m68000: Stub out the Coprocesor Interface Registers found on '010-'030 so that Mac ROMs can detect if an FPU is present [R. Belmont].
- hash/pc98.xml: Demote (yumeijin) [Angelo Salese].
- cpu/upd7810/upd7810.cpp: Improve uPD7801 Mode C handling (#12914). Fixes banking in SCV Star Speeder [Wilbert Pol].
- heathzenith/h89.cpp: Add initial support for the H-89 (and H-88 and Z-90) slot bus [R. Belmont]:
  * Uses the real I/O decoding PROMs.
  * Z-37 and MMS 77316 floppy controllers converted to cards.
  * H-88-3 serial and H-88-5 cassette interfaces converted to cards.
  * Sigmasoft Sound card converted to a card.
- quizpun2: Better way for stalling maincpu for MCU comms [hap].
- cactus: Fix MAME crash [hap].
- wpc_s: Correct rom region for some sets [hap].
- kaneko/hvyunit.cpp: Confirmed tiles ROM dump for (hvyunitja) [Brian Troha, Sean Riddle].
- metro/metro.cpp: verified some clocks for puzzlet [Guru].
- Thomson floppy disk updates [AJR]:
  * to8, to9 & to9p now include the FDC in the base configuration. to9 uses a WD1770 (WD2793 appears to fail calibration), while to8 & to9p use the THM-FC-1 gate array (now a separate device). This eliminates the need to, and ability to, configure floppy disk extensions for the to8, to9 and to9p.
  * Changed sector offsets for double-sided .fd images so that they load correctly (usually).
- emu/input.cpp: Guard against automatic integer promotion on arithmetic [Vas Crabb].
- namcos23: Remove texture_enabled flag, it caused missing graphics so this bit must have a different meaning, reset poly counts each frame to prevent trailing graphics and MAME crashing when holding INS [hap].
- machine/smioc.cpp: Cleaned up parameter bounds checking that could cause a compiler diagnostic [R. Belmont].
- thomson.cpp: Overhaul all ROM definitions to correspond to actual ICs rather than logical banks. The sizes and hence hashes of virtually all files have changed due to being combined or split up. NO_DUMP entries have also been added for some known undumped PROMs [AJR].
- Fixed DIP switch hookup, added unpopulated buttons and updated IO port documentation on the Namco TSSIO JVS I/O board, based on hardware analysis by Guru [smf].
- apple/pseudovia.cpp: Split out the pseudo-VIA device used by RBV, V8, VASP, and Sonora [R. Belmont]:
  * This device was previously copy-pasted almost verbatim between those 4 devices, and it will be appearing in PowerBooks in the future as well.
  * apple/mac*.cpp: All 68020 and 68030 Macintoshes that didn't come with an FPU but were able to be fitted with one later now gate it behind a configuration switch.
  * You must completely exit out of the driver to for changes take effect. This may be relaxed in the future.
- Fixed several things using memset on non-trivial objects. In particular, this fixes a delegate getting nuked in cpu/powerpc [Vas Crabb].
- thmfc1: Use CMD2 rather than CMD1 to verify side in track header. Fixes errors on loading parts of 640K disks in to8, to8d & to9p [AJR].
- heathzenith/h89.cpp: Connect write-enable pullup on new h89bus (#12918) [Mark Garlanger].
- sound/upd1771.cpp: Improve check for end of adpcm stream when the stream contains multiple samples (#12913). Fixes SCV Star Speeder [Wilbert Pol].
- epson/qx10: Add checksums for multifont rom dumps (#12910) [Brian Johnson].
- hash: Add AD&D prefix to several entries across SW lists [Angelo Salese].
- bus/sunkbd/hlekbd.cpp: Typo fix [Angelo Salese].
- video/upd7220.cpp: Command reset shouldn't touch RA parameters (#12905) [Angelo Salese].

- file selector: Add midi connection selection to MIDI ports [Olivier Galibert].
- psr540: Add the mks3 [Olivier Galibert].
- upd7220: Pass cursor height to drawing functions [cracyc].
- Fix MIDI in/out selection [Olivier Galibert].
- apple/macpwrbk030.cpp: Major updates [R. Belmont]:
  * Major modernization pass to bring in line with other Mac drivers.
  * Pseudo VIA hooked up for VIA 2.
  * Displays properly emulated for all models.
  * Added 165 and 165c support.
  * Power management MCU hookup greatly improved.
  * Fixed ADB, audio, and SCSI issues.
  * All models set the correct Gestalt ID.
- quickpick5: Correct waijockey tilemap Y alignment (green strip at upper fence matches with arcade cab video recording). Lower sound frequency more, matches video recording. Correct NVRAM range. Lower sound frequency, add waijockey coinage/payout DIP switches. Split classes, fix sprite priority. Fix address range copy paste error, guard against ttlrom array overflow. Actually, let's just use a memory_view. Remove trampolines to internal scc r/w handlers [hap].
- m6809: Mask PCR-mode addresses in disassembly [AJR].
- emu/schedule.cpp: Mark one path as EXPECTED [AJR].
- mo5_cart.xml, to7_cart.xml, to770_cart.xml, to770a_cart.xml: Metadata updates [AJR]:
  * Add serial numbers for most cartridges.
  * Add diacritics, box-cover subtitles and alt_title fields as appropriate.
  * Add Microsoft to publisher field of BASIC cartridges and SOLI to publisher field of LOGO cartridges.
- ausnz/poly.cpp: Replace bankdev with memory view [AJR].
- video/upd7220.cpp: Allow optional parameter for screen tag [Angelo Salese].
- nec/pc9801: Add RS232 port, hookup SIO IRQ handling [Angelo Salese].
- Cleaned up miscellaneous stuff [Vas Crabb].
- nec/pc9801.cpp: Fix precedence error [AJR].
- bookkeeping: Don't increment coin counter at power-on when initial counter_w input is 1, add handlers for resetting counters [hap].
- misc/changyu.cpp: Hooked up hopper for 999 (changyu2) [Vas Crabb].
- formats/ap2_dsk.cpp: don't crash when loading a NIB file with an all-zero track (#12926). In this case, `levels` is empty, and `generate_track_from_levels` immediately crashes with a division by zero. To fix this, just leave the track empty instead [Roman Donchenko].
- misc/changyu.cpp: Actually instantiate hopper for 999 (changyu2) [Vas Crabb].
- nintendo/snes_m.cpp: Fix logging on write with read only ports [Angelo Salese].
- a2bus: Cleanups [AJR]:
  * Eliminate A2BUS_7M_CLOCK constant except in apple2e.cpp driver. Use DERIVED_CLOCK for almost all clocks formerly generated from this value.
  * Don't default the 7M clock for the bus slots. Add confirmed or at least sensible-looking clocks (some differing from Apple's) to all configurations.
  * Convert some more macros to constexpr variables and eliminate one tag macro.
- thom_dsk.cpp: Note [AJR].
- irem/vigilant.cpp: Consolidated driver into single file [Ivan Vangelista].
- atlus/cave.cpp: Identified unkyujin as Cellage [Yasu].
- i386: Make the sse opcodes generate the #NM exception used to save\restore the fpu state [yz70s].
- m6809: Add interrupt vector read callback [AJR].
- positron: Make vector logerror a bit more useful. Use interrupt_vector_read callback [AJR].
- cmi2x: Modernization and cleanup [AJR]:

- Update megadriv.xml for ESPN Hockey Night (#12831). I've been looking into this ROM as the trusted dump and scene dumps on no-intro did not match and were marked bad as Mame considers them bad. I did my own testing, as I don't think one db should rely on another or why be separate? Dumping 3 copies on OSCR, plus desoldering a chip and dumping it, I get the hashes I'm updating it to here. While I don't think Mame should consider it bad because No-intro does or vice-versa, I'm the dumper and glad to answer any questions to both projects [Don Jones].

  * The initial size doesn't really matter because the pop-up button is resized before being added to the container that holds it and the expression field. The disassembly viewer apparently wasn't updated properly like the memory viewer when the auto-sizing code was refactored.
  * Hopefully this will fix the debugger crashing when restoring window positions from configuration (although I would have thought this would cause crashes in more situations if it was the cause of that).
