General Improvements
--------------------
Many improvements to Sega System Pre16,16a,16b,18 drivers [Aaron Giles]
Drivers cleaned up
Most known video issues are now fixed
Alien Storm, DDCrew, Clutch Hitter, Laser Ghost, Cotton and
many others have greatly improved video.
Alien Storm is fully playable
DD Crew is fully playable but requires inputs to be fixed
(currently only service coin and controls for 1 player work)
Laser Ghost would probably be playable if the controls were
correctly hooked up
Moonwalker requires improvements to the MCU emulation
We will now accept bug reports at Mametesters.org for any games
running on the following drivers
segas16a.c, segas16b.c, segas18.c
Most of the bootlegs are still running on system16.c, please do
not report bugs for these, nor for outrun or afterburner hardware.
