MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
----------------------
- 04509: [Core] Analog controls are broken on keyboard when joystick
is enabled (Alex Jackson)
- 04394: [DIP/Input] All games with paddle inputs: IPT_PADDLE inputs
do not center properly when mapped to an analog joystick
(Alex Jackson)

Source Changes
--------------
fix listing of switches used by gambling games [kanikani]

Hooked up MC6845 to Laser Base [Angelo Salese]

Hooked up PIT to Laser Base [Angelo Salese, Tomasz Slanina]

Changed some of the default mappings for analog controls in order to
fix various input-fighting bugs (including, but not limited to,
MT#4394 and MT#4509). Reverted the u8 change to analog joystick
handling--it only partially solved the problem it was meant to fix, it
introduced new issues in return, and generally made the code more
complicated for little benefit [Alex Jackson]

Improved game documentation to Naomi / Triforce / Chihiro HW [f205v]

New clones added
----------------
Battle Shark (Japan, Joystick) [ShouTime]"

DeSmuME SVN r4117

"r4117
- Fixed a crashing bug when reading from a cheat database, which would cause invalid memory accesses on 64-bit systems.
- Fixed a dangling pointer bug when reading from a cheat database.
- Fixed many potential buffer overflow issues related to C-string usage.
- Increased the memory allocation for cheat items to account for very large database entries. Also, the new behavior of any exported database entry that attempts to exceed the memory allocation is: Too big code size will not read. Too big description will be truncated."
