i've added the 'emulator compatible' images too, pokey sound doesn't seem to work with the regular ones, might be useful for debugging.
eta seems to indicate it did at the point he removed the emulator compatible images for the older version, so when did it break?

- Fixed YM2151 clock in XM expansion, thanks to info from
tep392 and GroovyBee
- Added support for homebrew boards MegaCart+ and
VersaBoard by CPUWIZ (ROM respectively up to 512K
and 256K + 32K of RAM)
- Misc cleanups
out of whatsnew: I have also added, for debugging purposes, a VersaBoard with SG 9banks + POKEY at 0x0450
in the hope to find out exactly what goes currently wrong in the emulation of some homebrew games... let's see...
expansion board, thanks to info from tep392. nw.
Also removed from the softlist the Donkey Kong XM Enhanced
version which had been hacked to work on ProSystem emulator
and fails to save hiscores with correct HSC emulation
(it remains available the correct version which saves fine both
in MESS and in the real hardware).
- Rewritten cart emulation to use slot devices
- Removed POKEY chip from the main unit since it was inside
the carts (of course it gets enabled when you launch a game
who contained it in its cart)
- Added support for the High Score cart as a passthru cart: when
you mount hiscore, a -cart2 switch will become available to mount
the game you want to play
- Properly implemented XBoarD and XM expansions as
passthru carts as well, so that new syntax to run dkxm.a78 is
"mess a7800 -cart xm -cart2 path\to\games\dkxm.a78"
High Score support for XM shall work as well.
- Big clean up of the driver, simplifying memory map, removing
writes to ROM, etc.
Out of whatsnew: In conclusion, a7800.c has been brought into the new millennium ;-)
