Source Changes
--------------
Fixed Wizz Quiz clone. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Added shadow effects to the SSV driver. [Luca Elia]

Simplified additive path in slapstic code. This should not impact any games
that use it, but it is worth verifying. [Aaron Giles]

Improvements to The Couples driver: Improved the video hardware, added a
preliminary PPI8255 + inputs interface, added a better workaround of the
$b011 jump, and added sound. Now the game is somewhat playable, but there
are still some problems in the game. [Angelo Salese]

Fixed DIP switches in several games:
* Dream Soccer '94
* Major Title
* Seibu Cup Soccer
* Caveman Ninja (World & US)
* Spinal Breakers
* Play Girl 2
* Rohga
* Shootout
[Brian Troha]

Added 'find' command to the new debugger for performing memory searches.
[Aaron Giles]

Adjusted sound balance in a few drivers. [David Haywood]

Added preliminary video emulation to penocup.c. [David Haywood]

Added better debugging support to the the MIPS and PPC cores. [Nathan Woods]

Improved sound in Hot Shock and Explorer. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Hooked up light gun properly in Golgo 13. [R. Belmont]

Fixed sprites, controls, colors, sound, many graphics problems in Panic Road,
but still not working. [Tomasz Slanina]

Fixed TMS34010 reverse blitters so they didn't perform extraneous source
memory fetches. [Aaron Giles]

Old debugger no longer forces the memory display to 16-bit words regardless
of the size specified with the M command. [Andrew Church]

Fixed OKI sample rate in Dark Seal/Crude Buster. Attempted to fix Vapor Trail
dropped sound commands. [Bryan McPhail]

Changed trace and traceover commands so they can append to existing files by
placing '>>' before the filename. [Nathan Woods]
