 In addition to the TILDE key, now also the YEN key on respective keyboard mappings will work to bring up the internal PinMAME menu
 
-Support WPC UARTs (8251 from Printer Option Kit & 16C450 from WPC95), also enabling the 'Championship Link' mode of NBAFB  (incl. PinMAME <-> real machine).  Configured via `-serial_device` command-line option.
+Support WPC UARTs (8251 from Printer Option Kit & 16C450 from WPC95), also enabling the 'Championship Link' mode of NBAFB (incl. PinMAME <-> real machine).  Configured via `-serial_device` command-line option.
   Note that the NBAFB Championship Link usually gets out of sync and aborts when connected to a real machine.  If trying to link two copies of PinMAME, it's necessary to have different WPC serial numbers (hardcoded in nbaf.c) for each instance of PinMAME.
+Also, NBAFB now supports a full builtin simulator instead of only a preliminary one
 
 *** CORE/CPU ***
 Fixed WPC General Illumination (GI) Dimming (most noticably if more than one GI line is involved, also all 8 levels are now handled properly)
 Fixed SAM FG/Shrek and WOF modulated LEDs behavior (now work the same as the rest)
 Added Wheel Of Fortune and World Poker Tour LED matrix as a group of modulated lamps
 Reworked Capcom emulation & timings, allowing all tables to behave 'normally' (no more delay on Flipper Football, DMD's animation at the right speed,...)
 Fixed CRTC6845 <-> GTS3 DMD interaction (e.g. leading to fixed Tee'd Off DMD timings)
-Improved DMD brightness level mapping (once more :)) for Gottlieb GTS3 (always mapping to 16 instead of 4 or 5 levels, improving e.g. waterworlds DMD fading; note that 24/25 would be optimal, but not really necessary)
+Improved DMD brightness level mapping (once more :)) for Gottlieb GTS3 & AlvinG. (always mapping to 16 instead of 4 or 5 levels, improving e.g. waterworlds DMD fading; note that 24/25 would be optimal, but not really necessary)
 Improved DMD brightness level mapping for WPC (fixing fading e.g. in T2 and other flickering)
+Improved DMD brightness level mapping for DataEast/Whitestar (fixing brightness levels and DMD timings)
 Added Cosmic Flash sound emulation (Bell stole it from Bally's Squalk&Talk, but removed speech and DAC chips)
 Improved Zaccaria 11178 sound emulation a little (clown, poolcham, bbeltzac, mexico, zankor, spooky)
 Fixed Zaccaria strsphnx sound, background music works correctly now
