MESS Git (2015/10/28)

MESS Git (2015/10/28) 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:
* Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/mamedev/mame
* some notes on sonicpop (nw)
* Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/mamedev/mame

Otherwise some drivers have problems.
* new clones
Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi (2003/01/01. Master Ver.) (alt rom fill)
this has now been verified on more than one PCB, as has the parent set, why there are 2 versions that differ only in how the unused area is filled I'm not sure, maybe to try and throw people decrypting it off? either way, both are legitimate sets.
I've also added the various hacks because again people are putting them on PCBs, and there's even a bootleg PCB running one of them. Would be nice if we could get dumps of the bootleg cartridges too since the ROMs are likely different due to having to work with a standard bios and they need documenting.
* was causing glitching in qix, merit and some others too, I guess they don't all fetch data during the scanline but rather at a fixed point, keep old behavior in MAME drivers for now.
I would be interested in seeing if supporting proper horizontal updates could fix some of the TMS34010 issues with flickering in megaphoenix / little robin tho..
* system1 also disliked it, glitchy sprites in gardiab / gardiaj, broken scroll in gardiab
* beathead is not keen on the horizontal partial updates
