« on: 18 November 2011, 14:50 »
Some time ago I announced version 3.0 of DWP written in C # faster and powerful.
Unfortunately due to real life things, development is slowly and it is not yet ready for a release.
On the other hand, even though not with the same efficiency, DWP v2.x.x still works well even on modern operating systems.
So I decided to make some changes that allow to better manage the interpretation of DatFiles and to fix some other bugs.

Here DatWorshop Pro 2.3.0

Added tables from vlm5030 as verified by decap from ogoun. Adapted
vlm5030 to use the tms5xxx common tables file. Some details have yet
to be worked out for certain (how exactly the reflection coefficients
beyond k=2 address the k2+ rom)
[ogoun, Lord Nightmare, The Dumping Union]

Adjusted the VLM5030 K3 thru K10 coefficients to be based not on
reading the K2 rom but based on the index itself <<6 or 7. This makes
the games sound much better and explains the very small ram size used
for coefficients other than K1 and K2. This needs further
investigation and figuring out of the die schematic to settle
completely. [Lord Nightmare]

CoinOPS Discussion / The last chance
« on: 16 October 2011, 09:58 »
This is the last chance to save this board.

What i need to change my mind is that BP admits his mistakes and promises not to do more in the future.

What i want here is :

1. This should be a place of fun and this must remain.
2. For no reason you have to offend people of this or other communities.
3. Avoid flames.
4. Avoid any disrespectful behavior.
5. A new moderator will be chosen by the community and will have no power for any reason at its sole discretion to delete threads and posts.

The last word word to you BP.

Note: This version has some changes to the Megadrive driver. The driver is now based on the MESS software list.

The game shortnames are prepended by md_ to differentiate them from the arcade games where conflicts occur. FB Alpha will look for your roms in the normal zip names, you do not need to create a new copy of the games and prepend md_. It is advisable to have the Megadrive roms in the seventh or eighth rom paths to avoid conflicts with arcade games. Support files will need to retain the md_ in order to avoid conflicts, however.

All Megadrive games are now enabled (except for Virtua Racing because the SVP isn't emulated), most should work, however, some may not.

    Megadrive Changes
        Updated Megadrive driver based on MESS 0.143u7 software list [Barry]
        Made the seventh rom path special like the eighth one so that Megadrive roms can be stored in one of the last two paths and still allow supplementary FB Alpha roms to be in a seperate path [Barry]
        Made the short name in the game selection dialog slightly longer to accomodate the Megadrive short names [Barry]
        Increased the maximum number for sek handlers to 10 [Barry]
        Added better SRAM support and support for custom mappers as per MESS< [Barry]
        Removed menu option for making a datfile with both arcade games and Megadrive games, the two would conflict, and arcade and Megadrive dats need to be handled seperately [Barry]
        Updated the dat file creation module to remove the md_ from the Megadrive shortnames [Barry]
    Added clone of Aquajack to the Taito-Z driver [Barry]
    Added clone of Vigilante to the Vigilante driver [Barry]
    Fixed music tempo and continuity in Item M90 and M92 drivers [iq_132][
    Added option to the YM2413 to decrease volume and used it to correct sound in the Mitchell driver [Barry]
    Fixed the gun inputs in Zombie Raid [Barry]
    Fixed the support file path creation for the IPS folders on app init [Barry]
    Fixed immediate update of Apply Patches checkbox in game selection dialog when applying IPS Patches [Barry]
    Added ability to search the drivers short name as well as the description in the Game Selection dialog [Barry]
    Made the Game Selection dialog search interactive and removed the Search button [Barry]
    Made the Game Selection dialog choose the current loaded game if a game is currently loaded [Barry]
    Fixed crash when (de)selecting auto-frameskip and using the DirectSound audio module [Barry]
    Restored the uxtheme style for the application [Barry]
    Matched all sets to MAME 0.143u7 [Barry]
