System Driver Changes:

[APRICOT] Added proper dumps. [John Elliott]
[BW12] System is now fully working. Disk operations are very slow, so set maximum speed to unlimited while loading. [Curt Coder, Tomas Karlsson]
[C80] System is now fully working. [Curt Coder]
[EINSTEIN] Largely rewritten and lots of cleanups. [Dirk Best]
[GENESIS] Save RAM emulation improved for several games (bugs #1691, #1696, #1823, #1824) [Enik]
[LC80] System is now fully working. [Curt Coder]
[MC1000] System is now basically working. [Curt Coder]
[MZ80] [MZ700] Sound works now [Miodrag Milanovic]
[NES] Fixed mappers #88, #193, added mappers #107, #154. [Heretical One]
[PC] Renamed bondwell to bw230. [Curt Coder]
[PC200] Proper ROM labels and PCB locations, added v1.2 dump. [John Elliott]
[POLY880] System is now working, except single stepping. [Curt Coder]
[SC80] Merged with lc80.c. [Curt Coder]
[SEGA CD] Rearranged sets and added new and better dumps. [Justin Kerk, TmEE, segaloco]
[SNES] Fixed a blending flag bug (see Micro Machines bg colors), added basic Horizontal Mosaic effect, fixed 16x16 tiles in 2bpp mode (see e.g. Super Adventure Island, but also many others). [Angelo Salese]
[SPECTRUM] Added logging support for Text/Message/Archive/Hardware/Custom Blocks in TZX files. Info are not (and won´t be) used directly by the emulator, but can be of use to improve bug reports. Also, updated TZX support to v1.20 by deprecating some block types. [Fabio Priuli]
