of the people at SSi who originally laid out the S14001a silicon in
1974/5! [Ed Bernard]

information. Also added dumps for various models. [Sandro Ronco]

-psychic5.cpp: added SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS [Angelo Salese]
-More configuration fixes [AJR]
* terrafb: remove unused NB1414M4

the arkanoid 1:20 geared spinner's quadrature wheel. [brizzo]
-Arkanoid.cpp: Set YM2149 emulation to mix channels the same way the
real pcb mixes them, by directly tying them together with no mixing
resistors. This introduces some distortion, but is more accurate
to actual pcb audio. [Lord Nightmare]
-40love.cpp: added global color select bank, fixes colors in later
levels for Forty-Love [Angelo Salese]
-spc1000: cassette tape motor fixed for working properly [Miso Kim]

added missing interrupt on Z80 write to MCU, and removed a boost
interleave hack which was made unnecessary by these fixes. Switched
the Arkanoid (older) sets to use original Taito A75 06 MCU code as
opposed to the bootleg MCU code used until now. The 3 (newer) and 1
Tournament sets still use hand-hacked bootleg MCU code until original
MCU chips can be dumped and/or decapped. All 9 of the dumped Arkanoid
MCU code roms now work, if hooked up to the appropriate drivers. Hooked

This set of commits include:
a video layout with all 30 LEDs 13 double-digit 7seg modules
an improved memory map hooking up the couple AY8910-3 chips, 2kb of Static RAM and the keyboard/display controller (an i8279 clone)
multiplexing signals for the 7seg displays
LEDs being controlled by the IO ports of the 2 AY8910-3 chips
8-bit set of DIP-Switches, a 2x16 keyboard and 4 push buttons mapped to the i8279 scanlines and return lines
-Some more validity checking improvements: [AJR]
* The -validate command now accepts an optional string, validating only
matching drivers. This has proven useful for debugging. The default is
to validate all drivers as usual.
* Devices' names are tracked when validating their auto-finders.
-Have sound_stream::input_name return the std::string it constructs [AJR]
-Added SteamLink initial support [Sam Lantiga, Miodrag Milanovic]
-Refactored NTSC pass and added sliders [ImJezze]

* fixed half texel offset
* re-added usage of A value
* re-added usage of P value
* re-added jitter of B value

Refactored color convergence pass
* color convergence is now independent from ratio
* color convergence is now limited to a maximum of 10
* the radial color convergence now "translates" the most outer
pixel as they would be translated by the linear color convergence
with the same amount
* added color convergence pass to vector rendering
Misc.
* fixed half texel offset in pre-scale pass
* fit scan-line jitter between a min/max range of 0 and 1
* color convolution, defocus and phosphor pass will now be skipped
if all influencing parameters are 0
* added hum bar simulation based on [MooglyGuy's] GLSL port of the MAME shader pipeline
* added monochrome-chessboard.png
* added slot-mask-aligned.png (to simulate a TFT LCD
