MAME 0.93u1 Quickfix
At first, happy new month! Yes it's official, Winter has left the building!!!. Secondary, don't expect this month to be any better than the previous one. We are gonna be compiling like madmen all this month!!! (YESSSS!!!) Talk is cheap, so let me get it straight. If I understand things right from the posts of Haze too many quickfixes will follow this 1st one.

Time Crisis 2
added to namcos23, skeleton rom loader, does nothing.
Several things have been altered to the main core and this is called 'a betatesting period'. Ah, finally a note: For those of you having trouble making your own compiled version of MAME32 it's good to learn that it's not a good time to do so (too many bugs are being fixed at the moment) and a little more than a couple of batch files are needed in order to have a proper binary. :(
