Another WIP for MAME is out today. There is more work to the debugger, as well as many discrete sound changes:

General Improvements

Fixed Sprint2 watchdog issues
Fixed nmg5.c crash
Fixed nitrobal inputs
Jalmah.c updates
Fixed various stuff with the protection in the first version of this HW (perfect color protection emulation,preliminary sound & preliminary tile transfer emulation)
Various Sega system 16/18 updates
Fixed a bug in the fd1094dp.c and fd1094.c decryption to allow for cotton to be decrypted
Added other hyperstone models, converted vamphalf driver to use 16-bit version
Discrete Sound Update

Windows Debugger Updates

Fixed some compile errors
Added a "PC" register to the I386 core so that it should work in the new debugger
Cleaned up stepping code
Now refresh the display and all debugger windows after each step while stepping
When running with the debugger window open (F5 or 'go'), now update the debugger views 4 times per second
Can now break into the debugger even if you are focused on a debugger window
Memory/disasm windows now come up with the currently active CPU selected by default
Added a new command: focus , which is equivalent to ignoring all other CPUs
Changed ignore and observe to support multiple parameters so you can say "ignore 2,3,4"
Changed ignore so that you are not allowed to ignore the last CPU
Fixed ignore behavior so that other CPUs are truly ignored
Fixed register window so that change hilights are maintained during scrolling and updates
Changed debug memory accessors so they don't log on invalid memory accesses
Tweaked the help text to indicate that help works
Added a new text attribute DCA_CURRENT, which is separate from DCA_SELECTED yellow
In-line memory editing is now supported
Updated psx core to show more registers
