MESS Git (2015/08/13)

MESS Git (2015/08/13) is compiled. MESS(Multi Emulator Super System) is an open source emulator which emulates a large variety of different systems. MESS is a source-available project which documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles, and calculators through software emulation, as MAME does for arcade games. As a nice side effect to this documentation, MESS allows software and games for these hardware platforms to be run on modern PCs.

MESS Git Changelog:
* blockhl: use bankdev, clean up driver
* bionicc: update palette handling
* the 1.2 blitz99 set can be updated to 1.30 in a similar way (enter Test mode with the upgrade ROM installed in this case)
* recompressed the gauntl12 CHD with -chs 4969,16,63 which are valid params for a Quantum Fireball 2.5GB (which based on what I can find online is the original drive type)
this allows the updater program I just added to work, so if you desire you can run it on the set and update the set to 1.6 as you would be able to do on original hardware.
* add the gauntleg 1.2 -> 1.6 update roms Smit / rtw dumped a while back, and allow the driver to see them.
note, this is a 3 stage process, you boot the system with a different rom in the additional slot each time.
for some reason in MAME only the first stage (doesn't matter which one) actually works, then subsequent stages hang on the disk check for a while then report bad sectors, I wonder if it doesn't like the geometry of our CHD.
note, i've used the bios options for this
mame64 gauntleg12 -bios up16_1
mame64 gauntleg12 -bios up16_2
mame64 gauntleg12 -bios up16_3
load in each of the upadate roms. My gut feeling is this might be better for a software list tho, it's purely optional stuff but is worth documenting in some capacity.
* new clones
Hissatsu Buraiken (Japan, bootleg?)
* atarisy2: use standard palette device ram
* Fix emscripten compile (nw)
* move rgbi formats out of emupal.h
* system1: use standard palette device ram
