News & Communication / MAME 0.136u1
« on: 16 January 2010, 09:52 »
[ff] You can download new source update at MAMEDev.org and new REQUIRED compile tools here.
MAME 0.136u1 whatsnew:
-------
IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this release of MAME, several important things
about the system have changed. Please read the following items before
attempting to compile this new version.
1. A new tool chain for Windows, based off of gcc 4.4.3 prerelease,
is now REQUIRED. Go to http://mamedev.org/tools to get the new tools.
The updated included with 0.136u1 WILL NOT BUILD with the old tools.
The new tool chain has support for building 64-bit MAME builds with
gcc, as well as built-in DirectX headers, and C++ support, which was
missing from the old tools.
2. Non-Unicode builds of Windows MAME are no longer supported. The
options to turn this off in the makefile have been removed, and
future changes are likely to solidify this requirement. If you are
still (God forbid) running on Win9x, you will need the unicows.dll
library to run MAME. Download unicows from Microsoft.
3. All code in MAME is now compiled as C++, plus there have been a few
small changes that take advantage of the C++ language. For the most
part, there is no effect on how drivers are written, except for some
nicer accessors to devices and address spaces. Future improvements to
take advantage of the C++ syntax will evolve slowly, and will be done
internally. We are not interest in outside attempts to do this work
for now.
4. The SDL OSD for MAME is now shipped as part of the main source
package. SDL builds for Windows are now regularly built as part of the
validation sequence for a new release. Thanks to R. Belmont,
couriersud, and Olivier Galibert for their work on the SDL port over
the years.

- hacked 3d acknowledge in a slightly different manner. Sams64 games
now show 3d.
- found the 'explicit palette' word in bbust2. Colors are now correct
Implemented what looks like a 'dynamic palette' bit. Fixes the
colors in sams64 games, but not roadedge or buriki.
RSP DRC changes: [Aaron Giles]
- fixed misaligned 32-bit accesses
- disabled DRC_SQV implementation as it breaks music in mtetrisc
Converted RSP callbacks into device callbacks. Removed a ton of tag-
based queries in favor of using the device passed. [Aaron Giles]
Added profiler_mark() calls around rdp_process_list() so that the RDP
time is separated from the RSP time. [Aaron Giles]
Added more decrypted opcodes to cb2001. [robiza]

- Updated the handling of interrupts to match the documentation.
- Implemented uPD7801 timers.
- Configured port A on the uPD7801 to an output port.
Removed the various HAS_xxxx for sound cores. To select sound cores,
just choose them in the make system. Further granularity is not
necessary. This also means that the samples core is always required.
[Aaron Giles]
Base tilemap hook-up for cb2001. [Angelo Salese]
Fixed the gfx rom loading for Race Drivin' Panorama [David Haywood]
Vs. Net Soccer improvements:
- Emulated DMA protection for startup-checks [Olivier Galibert]
- Fixed Data ROM loading, game now boots [David Haywood]
- Marked Sprite + Sound ROMs as BAD_DUMP [David Haywood]
Converted the goldstar, liberate, sidearms and sidepckt drivers to use
driver_data [Atari Ace]
Makefile changes: [Aaron Giles]
- Removed CPP_COMPILE flag; all code is now compiled as C++ except
for zlib and expat
- Mapped INLINE to "static inline" since C++ has real inlining
- Added new 'default' make target which just builds the emulator.
Use 'make tools' to build the tools, or 'make all' to build the
whole thing.
- 64-bit builds now get a '64' suffix on them.
- Removed UNICODE flag from Windows; UNICODE is always enabled now.
- If OSD is not defined, we look for the built-in Windows
environment variable 'OS' and if it is set to 'Windows_NT',
we assume OSD=windows; otherwise we assume OSD=sdl.
- If TARGETOS is not defined, we look for the same variable
and set TARGETOS=win32 if it is set to 'Windows_NT'.
- Windows SDL builds have an 'sdl' prefix on the executable
so they can live side-by-side.
- Added cheesy auto-detection of 64-bit Windows builds (based on the
PATH including 'mingw64-w64')
Removed hacks surrounding unicode handling in main(). They are no
longer necessary with the new tools. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed typo in 8-bit eeprom case that broke operation in some games.
[Aaron Giles]
Fixed x86 DRC backend codegen bug that broke kinst. [Aaron Giles]
Got rid of setjmp/longjmp for error handling in favor of exceptions.
Fatalerror now maps to throwing an exception. [Aaron Giles]
[PIT8253] Update PIT counter even if there was no elapsed cycles (this
only affects fast drivers like at586 in MESS). [Miodrag Milanovic]
Fixed a bunch of minor quirks, and fixed gfxs in the dwarfd driver.
[Angelo Salese]
Changed berlwall, arkanoid, bakubrkr, mgcrystl to use YM2149.
[Corrado Tomaselli]
Verified and corrected clocks in halleys and exctsccr.
[Corrado Tomaselli]
Add support for Mahjong panel for mjgtaste. Makes this the default
input and alters the default eeprom accordingly to match factory
default. Note that you need to change both the game and the controller
setting from the driver configuration when switching input sources
since the two are mutually exclusive. [PsikyoFan]
Fix zeroize protection simulation in lieu of proper dongle dump.
[Bryan McPhail]
Adds missing sample rom to Gals Panic 4 (Korea)
[Brian Troha, Dumping Union]
misc Konami wip: [Fabio Priuli]
* moved a few routines (used for sorting graphics layers) to
konicdev.c since they are shared by several drivers
* added driver data struct to ajax.c and aliens.c
* added driver data struct + save states to: asterix.c, bishi.c,
blockhl.c, bottom9.c, chqflag.c, crimfght.c, dbz.c, gbusters.c,
gijoe.c, lethal.c, mainevt.c, moo.c, overdriv.c, parodius.c,
rollerg.c, rungun.c, simpsons.c, spy.c, surpratk.c, tail2nos.c,
thunderx.c, tmnt.c, ultraman.c, vendetta.c, xexex.c and xmen.c
* updated some Konami drivers above to separately allocate palette/
extra/work RAM instead of appending them to maincpu ROM; also,
reduced maincpu rom regions where appropriate
* replaced memory_set_bankptr with memory_set_bank where necessary
* added driver data struct & save states to gradius3.c
Converted taitosnd (aka tc0140syt) to be a device and updated the
related drivers to use the new code. [Fabio Priuli]
Replaced all occurrences of cputag_get_cpu with devtag_get_device:
the former function was just an alias and now cpus are no different
from other devices. Also removed cputag_get_cpu and cputag_reset
(another alias, not even used in the source) from cpuexec.h.
[Fabio Priuli]
Fixed knights rom labels [Dlfrsilver]
Metal Maniax improvements [Phil Bennett/luigi30]
* Fixed frame buffer display
* Started to add the other CPUs
* Added PCB layouts for layers 1 and 2
* Hooked up TMS34020
* Started to implement the ADSP-2105 network CPU and the CAGE audio
system [Phil Bennett]
Added some missing header declarations and static qualifiers. Added
validity.h to the core for consistency as well as an explicit foo.h
in each foo.c. [Atari Ace]
Added driver data struct to taitoair.c and taito_b.c. [Fabio Priuli]
VIA6522: Refactored interface to use READ/WRITE_LINE. [Curt Coder]
Cyber Tank improvements: [Angelo Salese]
* Fixed bitplane order
* Decoded sprite gfx format
* Hooked up the two bg tilemaps
* Wrote bare-bones video emulation for the Cyber Tank sprite chip /
blitter
* Added video boundary checks for the blitter
The starting value for an output port is now the default value, which
is based on whether it is active high or low. So the device will be
called the first time the line becomes active. Changed the eeprom
device to assume that the reset and clock are cleared until it's told
otherwise. [smf]
Added driver data struct to taito_l.c & opwolf.c. [Fabio Priuli]
Added driver data struct + save states to asuka.c (cadash was not
supporting saves), rainbow.c, rastan.c, taito_f2.c, taito_h.c,
taito_o.c, taito_z.c, topspeed.c & volfied.c. [Fabio Priuli]
Renamed mamecore.h -> emucore.h. [Aaron Giles]
New C++-aware memory manager: [Aaron Giles]
This is a simple manager that allows you to add any type of object
to a resource pool. Most commonly, allocated objects are added, and
so a set of allocation macros is provided to allow you to manage
objects in a particular pool:
pool_alloc(p, t) = allocate object of type 't' and add to pool 'p'
pool_alloc_clear(p, t) = same as above, but clear the memory first
pool_alloc_array(p, t, c) = allocate an array of 'c' objects of
type 't' and add to pool 'p'
pool_alloc_array_clear(p, t, c) = same, but with clearing
pool_free(p, v) = free object 'v' and remove it from the pool
Note that pool_alloc[_clear] is roughly equivalent to "new t" and
pool_alloc_array[_clear] is roughly equivalent to "new t[c]". Also
note that pool_free works for single objects and arrays.
There is a single global_resource_pool defined which should be used
for any global allocations. It has equivalent macros to the pool_*
macros above that automatically target the global pool.
In addition, the memory module defines global new/delete overrides
that access file and line number parameters so that allocations can
be tracked. Currently this tracking is only done if MAME_DEBUG is
enabled. In debug builds, any unfreed memory will be printed at
the end of the session.
emualloc.h also has #defines to disable malloc/free/realloc/calloc.
Since emualloc.h is included by emucore.h, this means pretty much
all code within the emulator is forced to use the new allocators.
Although straight new/delete do work, their use is discouraged, as
any allocations made with them will not be tracked.
Changed the familar auto_alloc_* macros to map to the resource pool
model described above. The running_machine is now a class and
contains a resource pool which is automatically destructed upon
deletion. If you are a driver writer, all your allocations should be
done with auto_alloc_*.
Changed all drivers and files in the core using malloc/realloc or
the old alloc_*_or_die macros to use (preferably) the auto_alloc_*
macros instead, or the global_alloc_* macros if necessary.
Added simple C++ wrappers for astring and bitmap_t, as these need
proper constructors/destructors to be used for auto_alloc_astring
and auto_alloc_bitmap.
Removed references to the winalloc prefix file. Most of its
functionality has moved into the core, save for the guard page
allocations, which are now implemented in osd_alloc and osd_free.
Added driver data struct + save states to darius.c & othunder.c.
[Fabio Priuli]
Added driver data struct to ninjaw.c, slapshot.c, warriorb.c, wgp.c.
[Fabio Priuli]
Extended the astring class wrapper into something useful, and
useable as a stack object. Also designed the interfaces to allow
for chaining operations. And added a casting operator to const
char * for seamless use in most functions that take plain old C
strings. [Aaron Giles]
Changed all uses of astring to use the object directly on the
stack or embedded in objects instead of explicitly allocating
and deallocating it. Removed a lot of annoying memory management
code as a result. [Aaron Giles]
Changed interfaces that accepted/returned an astring * to
use an astring & instead. [Aaron Giles]
Removed auto_alloc_astring(machine). Use auto_alloc(machine, astring)
instead. [Aaron Giles]
Major header file cleanup: [Aaron Giles]
- Created new central header "emu.h"; this should be included
by pretty much any driver or device as the first include. This
file in turn includes pretty much everything a driver or device
will need, minus any other devices it references. Note that
emu.h should *never* be included by another header file.
- Updated all files in the core (src/emu) to use emu.h.
- Removed a ton of redundant and poorly-tracked header includes
from within other header files.
- Temporarily changed driver.h to map to emu.h until we update
files outside of the core.
Added class wrapper around tagmap so it can be directly included
and accessed within objects that need it. Updated all users to
embed tagmap objects and changed them to call through the class.
[Aaron Giles]
Added nicer functions for finding devices, ports, and regions in
a machine: [Aaron Giles]
machine->device("tag") -- return the named device, or NULL
machine->port("tag") -- return the named port, or NULL
machine->region("tag") -- return the named region
(Note that machine->region() returns a pointer to a region_info class
which describes a region, not a pointer to the region's memory.)
Made the device tag an astring. This required touching a lot of
code that printed the device to explicitly fetch the C-string
from it. (Thank you gcc for flagging that issue!) [Aaron Giles]
Added a PCM sample end/loop callback to the RF5C68 core
[Barry Rodewald]
galaxold update: [stephh]
- Renamed set kkgalax to ckongmc
- Changed descriptions for ckongg and ckongmc
- Fixed dip switches and inputs for ckongg and ckongmc
- Updated ckongmc memory map
Added the mameconfig version to the -listxml output [Oliver Stoneberg]
Implemented inputs and sound in Gunpey [Luca Elia]
Added new member function space() to the device_config, along with
shorter constants to be used (AS_PROGRAM, AS_DATA, AS_IO). With no
parameters, space() returns the first address space, which is
commonly the only space present. Updated a few devices that referenced
the old space[] array to call the new function instead. [Aaron Giles]
Implemented basic blitter support in Gunpey [Tomasz Slanina]
Converted Gunpey to use RGB pens instead of hardcoded palette table
[Angelo Salese]
Enforce that numbers are all the same exact width when loading fonts.
[Aaron Giles]
Fixed a bogus protection check in Victor 21 [Angelo Salese]
Fix assert for prmrsocr + clones - no whatsnew needed [Fabio Priuli]
Redumped program and sprite roms in Cyber Tank [Antonio Gonzalez Jr.]
Added a mostly-complete SunPlus u'nSP core based on the one in
Segher's "Unununium". [Harmony]
Add lots of comments relating to 56-pin Mahjong interface and Psikyo
SK-G001 interface pcb based on discussion with alien_mame and
documents from other Mahjong PCBs. [PsikyoFan]
Verified clocks on Poker Ladies and changed Z80 clock of Mahjong
Gakuen from 6Mhz to 8MHz to match the other Mitchell hardware games
[Corrado Tomaselli]
i386: Improved accuracy of the various emulated models, makes CPU
detection programs detect the correct CPU (in MESS). [Dirk Best]
- eflags mask added
- Initial values for the EAX and EDX registers fixed
- cpuid values improved
- feature flags improved
- initial value for the cr0 register improved
- changed 486 to not support the cpuid instruction by default
- take a trap on invalid instructions instead of throwing a
fatalerror
- emulated the undefined flag behavior for the DIV/IDIV instructions on Intel CPUs
SDLMAME: improved OS X and SDL 1.3 SVN support, try to autodetect
SDLMAME targets [Couriersud]
SDLMAME: add BGRA support to -video soft [couriersud]
Fixed period for both sn76489 and sn76489A periodic noise; fixes
pitch in 'smooth criminal' demo for colecovision and fixes pitch
(but not the waveform, which will require more work) of music in
dorunrun; More work is required before the code will be bit accurate
due to the way the real LFSR and periodic generator work.
[Lord Nightmare, Kold666, PlgDavid]
SDLMAME makefile improvements: [couriersud]
- Fix TARGETOS detection on OS X.
- Do not try to check TARGETOS when cross-compiling
- For non-windows targets, try to auto-detect PTR64
- testkeys now builds again
- for unix targets, added a depend rule to sdl.mak which builds a
.depend file.
Fixed a number of compiler bugs found by PowerPC MacOS X. [R. Belmont]
Added casting operators to the region_info class so you can assign
a region to a generic type pointer and have it automatically convert.
Also added a bytes() method which is safe if the region is NULL
(useful for saying machine->region("foo")->bytes() and not crashing
if foo doesn't exist). [Aaron Giles]
Changed the region field in the device_config to be a region_info *,
and removed the regionbytes field. Updated all users of these fields
to use the new casting operators and bytes() methods instead.
[Aaron Giles]
Added subdevice and subregion methods to the device_config class, so
you can easily query for devices and regions that are device-specific.
The device prefix ("devicename:") is automatically prepended.
[Aaron Giles]

* added driver data struct to ajax.c and aliens.c
* added driver data struct + save states to: asterix.c, bishi.c,
blockhl.c, bottom9.c, chqflag.c, crimfght.c, dbz.c, gbusters.c,
gijoe.c, lethal.c, mainevt.c, moo.c, overdriv.c, parodius.c,
rollerg.c, rungun.c, simpsons.c, spy.c, surpratk.c, tail2nos.c,
thunderx.c, tmnt.c, ultraman.c, vendetta.c, xexex.c and xmen.c
* updated some Konami drivers above to separately allocate palette/
extra/work RAM instead of appending them to maincpu ROM; also,
reduced maincpu rom regions where appropriate
* replaced memory_set_bankptr with memory_set_bank where necessary
* added driver data struct & save states to gradius3.c
Converted taitosnd (aka tc0140syt) to be a device and updated the
related drivers to use the new code. [Fabio Priuli]
Replaced all occurrences of cputag_get_cpu with devtag_get_device:
the former function was just an alias and now cpus are no different
from other devices. Also removed cputag_get_cpu and cputag_reset
(another alias, not even used in the source) from cpuexec.h.
[Fabio Priuli]
Fixed knights rom labels [Dlfrsilver]
Metal Maniax improvements [Phil Bennett/luigi30]
* Fixed frame buffer display
* Started to add the other CPUs
* Added PCB layouts for layers 1 and 2
* Hooked up TMS34020
* Started to implement the ADSP-2105 network CPU and the CAGE audio
system [Phil Bennett]
Added some missing header declarations and static qualifiers. Added
validity.h to the core for consistency as well as an explicit foo.h
in each foo.c. [Atari Ace]
Added driver data struct to taitoair.c and taito_b.c. [Fabio Priuli]
VIA6522: Refactored interface to use READ/WRITE_LINE. [Curt Coder]
Cyber Tank improvements: [Angelo Salese]
* Fixed bitplane order
* Decoded sprite gfx format
* Hooked up the two bg tilemaps
* Wrote bare-bones video emulation for the Cyber Tank sprite chip /
blitter
* Added video boundary checks for the blitter
The starting value for an output port is now the default value, which
is based on whether it is active high or low. So the device will be
called the first time the line becomes active. Changed the eeprom
device to assume that the reset and clock are cleared until it's told
otherwise. [smf]
Added driver data struct to taito_l.c & opwolf.c. [Fabio Priuli]
Added driver data struct + save states to asuka.c (cadash was not
supporting saves), rainbow.c, rastan.c, taito_f2.c, taito_h.c,
taito_o.c, taito_z.c, topspeed.c & volfied.c. [Fabio Priuli]
Renamed mamecore.h -> emucore.h. [Aaron Giles]
New C++-aware memory manager: [Aaron Giles]
This is a simple manager that allows you to add any type of object
to a resource pool. Most commonly, allocated objects are added, and
so a set of allocation macros is provided to allow you to manage
objects in a particular pool:
pool_alloc(p, t) = allocate object of type 't' and add to pool 'p'
pool_alloc_clear(p, t) = same as above, but clear the memory first
pool_alloc_array(p, t, c) = allocate an array of 'c' objects of
type 't' and add to pool 'p'
pool_alloc_array_clear(p, t, c) = same, but with clearing
pool_free(p, v) = free object 'v' and remove it from the pool
Note that pool_alloc[_clear] is roughly equivalent to "new t" and
pool_alloc_array[_clear] is roughly equivalent to "new t[c]". Also
note that pool_free works for single objects and arrays.
There is a single global_resource_pool defined which should be used
for any global allocations. It has equivalent macros to the pool_*
macros above that automatically target the global pool.
In addition, the memory module defines global new/delete overrides
that access file and line number parameters so that allocations can
be tracked. Currently this tracking is only done if MAME_DEBUG is
enabled. In debug builds, any unfreed memory will be printed at
the end of the session.
emualloc.h also has #defines to disable malloc/free/realloc/calloc.
Since emualloc.h is included by emucore.h, this means pretty much
all code within the emulator is forced to use the new allocators.
Although straight new/delete do work, their use is discouraged, as
any allocations made with them will not be tracked.
Changed the familar auto_alloc_* macros to map to the resource pool
model described above. The running_machine is now a class and
contains a resource pool which is automatically destructed upon
deletion. If you are a driver writer, all your allocations should be
done with auto_alloc_*.
Changed all drivers and files in the core using malloc/realloc or
the old alloc_*_or_die macros to use (preferably) the auto_alloc_*
macros instead, or the global_alloc_* macros if necessary.
Added simple C++ wrappers for astring and bitmap_t, as these need
proper constructors/destructors to be used for auto_alloc_astring
and auto_alloc_bitmap.
Removed references to the winalloc prefix file. Most of its
functionality has moved into the core, save for the guard page
allocations, which are now implemented in osd_alloc and osd_free.
Added driver data struct + save states to darius.c & othunder.c.
[Fabio Priuli]
Added driver data struct to ninjaw.c, slapshot.c, warriorb.c, wgp.c.
[Fabio Priuli]
Extended the astring class wrapper into something useful, and
useable as a stack object. Also designed the interfaces to allow
for chaining operations. And added a casting operator to const
char * for seamless use in most functions that take plain old C
strings. [Aaron Giles]
Changed all uses of astring to use the object directly on the
stack or embedded in objects instead of explicitly allocating
and deallocating it. Removed a lot of annoying memory management
code as a result. [Aaron Giles]
Changed interfaces that accepted/returned an astring * to
use an astring & instead. [Aaron Giles]
Removed auto_alloc_astring(machine). Use auto_alloc(machine, astring)
instead. [Aaron Giles]
Major header file cleanup: [Aaron Giles]
- Created new central header "emu.h"; this should be included
by pretty much any driver or device as the first include. This
file in turn includes pretty much everything a driver or device
will need, minus any other devices it references. Note that
emu.h should *never* be included by another header file.
- Updated all files in the core (src/emu) to use emu.h.
- Removed a ton of redundant and poorly-tracked header includes
from within other header files.
- Temporarily changed driver.h to map to emu.h until we update
files outside of the core.
Added class wrapper around tagmap so it can be directly included
and accessed within objects that need it. Updated all users to
embed tagmap objects and changed them to call through the class.
[Aaron Giles]
Added nicer functions for finding devices, ports, and regions in
a machine: [Aaron Giles]
machine->device("tag") -- return the named device, or NULL
machine->port("tag") -- return the named port, or NULL
machine->region("tag") -- return the named region
(Note that machine->region() returns a pointer to a region_info class
which describes a region, not a pointer to the region's memory.)
Made the device tag an astring. This required touching a lot of
code that printed the device to explicitly fetch the C-string
from it. (Thank you gcc for flagging that issue!) [Aaron Giles]
Added a PCM sample end/loop callback to the RF5C68 core
[Barry Rodewald]
galaxold update: [stephh]
- Renamed set kkgalax to ckongmc
- Changed descriptions for ckongg and ckongmc
- Fixed dip switches and inputs for ckongg and ckongmc
- Updated ckongmc memory map
Added the mameconfig version to the -listxml output [Oliver Stoneberg]
Implemented inputs and sound in Gunpey [Luca Elia]
Added new member function space() to the device_config, along with
shorter constants to be used (AS_PROGRAM, AS_DATA, AS_IO). With no
parameters, space() returns the first address space, which is
commonly the only space present. Updated a few devices that referenced
the old space[] array to call the new function instead. [Aaron Giles]
Implemented basic blitter support in Gunpey [Tomasz Slanina]
Converted Gunpey to use RGB pens instead of hardcoded palette table
[Angelo Salese]
Enforce that numbers are all the same exact width when loading fonts.
[Aaron Giles]
Fixed a bogus protection check in Victor 21 [Angelo Salese]
Fix assert for prmrsocr + clones - no whatsnew needed [Fabio Priuli]
Redumped program and sprite roms in Cyber Tank [Antonio Gonzalez Jr.]
Added a mostly-complete SunPlus u'nSP core based on the one in
Segher's "Unununium". [Harmony]
Add lots of comments relating to 56-pin Mahjong interface and Psikyo
SK-G001 interface pcb based on discussion with alien_mame and
documents from other Mahjong PCBs. [PsikyoFan]
Verified clocks on Poker Ladies and changed Z80 clock of Mahjong
Gakuen from 6Mhz to 8MHz to match the other Mitchell hardware games
[Corrado Tomaselli]
i386: Improved accuracy of the various emulated models, makes CPU
detection programs detect the correct CPU (in MESS). [Dirk Best]
- eflags mask added
- Initial values for the EAX and EDX registers fixed
- cpuid values improved
- feature flags improved
- initial value for the cr0 register improved
- changed 486 to not support the cpuid instruction by default
- take a trap on invalid instructions instead of throwing a
fatalerror
- emulated the undefined flag behavior for the DIV/IDIV instructions on Intel CPUs
SDLMAME: improved OS X and SDL 1.3 SVN support, try to autodetect
SDLMAME targets [Couriersud]
SDLMAME: add BGRA support to -video soft [couriersud]
Fixed period for both sn76489 and sn76489A periodic noise; fixes
pitch in 'smooth criminal' demo for colecovision and fixes pitch
(but not the waveform, which will require more work) of music in
dorunrun; More work is required before the code will be bit accurate
due to the way the real LFSR and periodic generator work.
[Lord Nightmare, Kold666, PlgDavid]
SDLMAME makefile improvements: [couriersud]
- Fix TARGETOS detection on OS X.
- Do not try to check TARGETOS when cross-compiling
- For non-windows targets, try to auto-detect PTR64
- testkeys now builds again
- for unix targets, added a depend rule to sdl.mak which builds a
.depend file.
Fixed a number of compiler bugs found by PowerPC MacOS X. [R. Belmont]
Added casting operators to the region_info class so you can assign
a region to a generic type pointer and have it automatically convert.
Also added a bytes() method which is safe if the region is NULL
(useful for saying machine->region("foo")->bytes() and not crashing
if foo doesn't exist). [Aaron Giles]
Changed the region field in the device_config to be a region_info *,
and removed the regionbytes field. Updated all users of these fields
to use the new casting operators and bytes() methods instead.
[Aaron Giles]
Added subdevice and subregion methods to the device_config class, so
you can easily query for devices and regions that are device-specific.
The device prefix ("devicename:") is automatically prepended.
[Aaron Giles]
YM2612: More accurate LFO implementation and channel clipping

Source Changes
--------------
hng64 improvements: [Andrew Gardner]
- RoadsEdge & XRally polygons are now visible.
- Improved geometry chunk type 0x2e.
- Fleshed out the 'chunk type bits' a little. This will be verified
against type 0x24.
- Xrally and roadedge hng64 screens no longer run at 10fps.
- Fixed polygon lookup in driving games.
Changed behavior of -watchdog option to act like a real watchdog. It
now specifies the number of seconds after the last video update that
will cause auto-termination of MAME. Also modified it to output a
message when the watchdog triggers the exit. [Aaron Giles]
Updated windows.txt to reflect this option and the debugger_font
options which were never previously documented. [Aaron Giles]
EEPROM changes: [Aaron Giles]
- Fixed auto EEPROM region to properly handle 16-bit data.
- Changed EEPROM device to initialize EEPROM at NVRAM load time
rather than init time, giving DEVICE_INIT handlers a chance to
muck with the data first.
- Removed _NODEFAULT_ forms of EEPROM driver macros. If you need to
add default data, follow the MDRV_EEPROM_ADD() with
MDRV_EEPROM_DATA().
- Updated remaining drivers to the new EEPROM device code. Many of
them now require a default EEPROM to be loaded along with the
ROMs, rather than hard-coded data in the driver
- Exposed an address space for EEPROM devices, meaning the memory
is now visible in the debugger and can be accessed via expressions
- Updated all systems that muck directly with EEPROM memory to
use memory accessors instead on the EEPROM address space.
- Removed old EEPROM implementation
cb2001: added many new opcodes [robiza]
Split ADC1038, Konami 033906 and Konami 056230 emulation from
gticlub.c and konppc.c. Also, converted them to be devices and updated
PPC Konami games to use the new code. [Fabio Priuli]
Added a bunch of new protection handlers for Spark Man [Angelo Salese]
sub.c - Put in board XTAL and came up with some seeming better clock
speed approximations until board readings can be done. [Tafoid]
mcr.c - Sets tron3 and tron4 don't appear to have a valid working
cocktail mode video or controls (upright player2 works fine). Flagged
as GAME_NO_COCKTAIL. [Tafoid]
subs.c - Added DIP LOCATIONS. [Tafoid]
Updated qdrmfgp.c to use Konami video devices. [Fabio Priuli]
Cleaned up a bunch of things in the gladiatr.c driver [Angelo Salese]
Removed sysconfig section from game_driver struct. Made
compatible_with attribute available for MAME too (with NULL value set
in GAMEL macro). [Miodrag Milanovic]
Added preliminary device version of Konami video ICs used in PowerPC
games (001005, 001006, 001604 and 037122). [Fabio Priuli]
Converted all Taito custom I/O and video ICs to devices and updated
all drivers to use them. [Fabio Priuli]
Simplified bloodbro gfx decoding and removed unnecessary DRIVER_INIT.
Marked two weststry sprite ROMs as BAD_DUMP [David Haywood]

converted gaplus.c, mappy.c and toypop.c to use the new code.
[Fabio Priuli]
Allow any device memory (not just CPU's) to be accessed via debug
expressions. Removed support in the expression engine for EEPROM-
specific accesses. [Aaron Giles]
Converted Fujitsu MB87078 Volume Controller to be a device and
updated taito_b.c to use the new code (it's the only driver
emulating this chip atm). [Fabio Priuli]
merit.c - Fixed what might be a copy/paste error in two sets
(trvwz3h, trvwz3v) where two roms had the same filename in the same
romset. [Tafoid]
Renamed tilemap -> tilemap_t, as the name 'tilemap' is too commonly
used for statics and structure members, and some compilers (esp. C++
compilers) don't allow that. [Aaron Giles]
Fix for INP recording ports that have changed notification. Also
prevents new inputs from affecting recorded inputs during playback.
[mahlemiut]
Updated srcclean to remove "invisible spaces" immediately preceding
tabs. [Atari Ace]
Cleaned up braces in the code so that they are properly balanced.
[Atari Ace]
Optimized RDP implementation further with more flattened branches.
[Harmony]
Converted a number of vector opcodes to the RSP DRC core. [Harmony]
Unrolled and optimized a number of vector opcodes in the interpreter
RSP core. [Harmony]
Extended the devtempl.h file to support device address spaces.
[Aaron Giles]
cmmb.c - Identified and marked Service Mode DIP. [Tafoid]
Converted the NMK112 to be a device and updated drivers using it
accordingly. [Fabio Priuli]
Added GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE flag to psikyosh.c, since the conversion to
eeprom devices fixed the remaining issues with save states.
[Fabio Priuli, Aaron Giles]
Changed Caveman Ninja driver to use Partial Updates for Raster Effects
instead of buffering scanline data [David Haywood]
Changed Deco32 driver to use Partial Updates for Raster Effects
instead of buffering scanline data (but left Dragon Gun using the
buffering, because the video rendering code is far too slow with 224
partial updates for now) [David Haywood]
Commented out some harmful and suspicious looking interrupt generation
in NamcoND1 driver until it's being properly verified; fixes Game
Options menu in NCV2 test mode. [David Haywood]
adp.c improvements: [Angelo Salese]
- Fixed some minor quirks
- Improved Backgammon memory map
- Implemented RAMDAC for Fun Land Deluxe
Fixed error in codegen for drol/dror opcodes in the x86 back-end.
[Aaron Giles]
Re-implemented misaligned memory handling in the RSP DRC as before.
[Aaron Giles]
Explicitly sign-extend 32-bit indexes for load/loads/store on 64-bit
machines to prevent overflow issues. Fixes DRC crash in mtetrisc.
[Aaron Giles]
Fixed a few DRC-ized vector load/store opcodes in the RSP core.
[Harmony]
Hardware multiplication and division on the SNES takes 8 machine
cycles to complete. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed x86 HLT instruction handling [Phill Harvey-Smith]
Made LA Girls and clone of Play Girls. It's clearly a bootleg
hardware clone. Title & background change, but the demo play and
block arrangement are identical. Added info from the Guru's website
about the reported manufacture company and year for LA Girls. Added a
note about Tube-it having the copyright and manufacture info removed.
[Brian Troha]
Added additional information to the dipswitches and configurations
sections in the -listxml output [Oliver Stoneberg]

Source Changes
--------------
Added driver data struct to: [Fabio Priuli]
- airbustr.c
- cvs.c
- 8080bw.c and mw8080bw.c
- 88games.c, combatsc.c and rockrage.c
- psikyo4.c and psikyosh.c
Added driver data struct and save states to: [Fabio Priuli]
- djboy.c
- toratora.c and sf.c
- neogeo.c
- cps1.c, cps2.c and fcrash.c
- cbasebal.c, chinsan.c, mitchell.c and quasar.c
- malzak.c
- battlnts.c, bladestl.c, crshrace.c and contra.c
- f1gp.c, fastlane.c, flkatck.c, hcastle.c, labyrunr.c and suprslam.c
- psikyo.c and pgm.c
Removed old index-based DISCRETE_ADJUSTMENT and then renamed the newer
DISCRETE_ADJUSTMENT_TAG to replace it. Updated all callers.
[Aaron Giles]
Removed all uses of input_port_by_index(), and removed the function.
[Fabio Priuli, Aaron Giles]
Added saves to 6522via.c. This fixes problems of gameplan.c and
trvquest.c games with -autosave. [Fabio Priuli]
Enabled GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE flag to dday.c because some of the core
changes have fixed the sound problem at loading. [Fabio Priuli]
Imported SAA5050 emulation from MESS and made it a device. Updated
malzak.c to use it, removing the almost identical implementation in
the driver. [Fabio Priuli]
Added TILE_GET_INFO_DEVICE and SET_TILE_INFO_DEVICE macros to
tilemap.c. [Fabio Priuli]
Made MB14241 Shifter IC a device and moved its source to emu/machine.
Updated mw8080bw.c and 8080bw.c accordingly. Also converted fgoal.c
to use this implementation in place of its own version. [Fabio Priuli]
Enhanced the UML opcodes for LOAD, LOADS, and STORE to support
arbitrary scaling factors. Previously, specifying a size implied
a scaling factor equal to the size (i.e., specifying DWORD meant
the index was scaled by 4). This is still the default. However,
now you can specify the scale explicitly for other cases. For
example, you can specify DWORD_x1 to fetch a DWORD but don't
scale the index at all, or BYTE_x8 to fetch a BYTE while scaling
the index by 8. Updated all backends to make this work. [Aaron Giles]
Konami devic-fication and improvements: [Fabio Priuli]
- Added device versions of all the Konami custom ICs currently
emulated in machine/konamiic.c and video/konamiic.c
- Updated combatsc.c, contra.c, crshrace.c, f1gp.c, fastlane.c,
flkatck.c, hcastle.c, labyrunr.c and suprslam.c to use the
new code.
- Moved k056800 sound device to emu/sound and removed the old code;
updated gticlub.c, hornet.c, nwk-tr.c, ultrsprt.c and zr107.c to
use this implementation
- Updated 88games.c, battlnts.c, bladestl.c and rockrage.c to use new
devices
- Updated asterix.c and moo.c to use the new devices.
- Converted aliens.c, blockhl.c, crimfght.c and gbusters.c to use
Konami video devices
- Updated parodius.c, simpsons.c, thunderx.c, vendetta.c and
xexex.c to use the new video devices
- Updated overdriv.c to use the Konami video devices
- Updated gradius3.c, mainevt.c & gijoe.c to use Konami video devices
- Updated ajax.c, bottom9.c, chqflag.c, rollerg.c, spy.c, surpratk.c
to use Konami video devices
- Updated dbz.c, lethal.c, metro.c, rungun.c, tail2nos.c, tmnt.c,
ultraman.c, wecleman.c, xmen.c & zr107.c to use Konami video
devices instead of konamiic.h code
- Updated bishi.c and djmain.c to use Konami video devices
- Updated plygonet.c to use Konami video devices and
input_port_write for eepromdev_read_bit
- Updated asterix.c, gijoe.c, hornet.c, lethal.c, moo.c, overdriv.c,
rungun.c, vendetta.c, xexex.c & xmen.c to use eeprom device

Fixed tilemaps so they can be initialized at device start time.
[Aaron Giles]
Added redumped roms to coolridr. [David Haywood]
Fixed crash on exit for systems with no tilemaps. [Aaron Giles]
Added warning messages for auto_malloc, timer, and save state
allocations done after init time. These should be fixed when detected,
and will soon be disallowed entirely. Fixed many cases in the code
where this was being done. [Aaron Giles]
Converted Taito F3 sound to a separate machine driver which is
imported into games that use it. [Aaron Giles]
Converted the balsente driver to driver_data structure. [Aaron Giles]
Some more Atari driver shuffling. Added atarigen_init() function
which allocates all timers and registers for save states. Updated
all drivers to call it. Converted some drivers to use device timers.
[Aaron Giles]
Changed ticket.c into a device, updated all users. [Aaron Giles]
CIA6526: fixed FLAG handling and slight interface cleanup.
[Curt Coder]
Moved SNES timer allocation to MACHINE_START. [Fabio Priuli]
Koi Koi Part 2: written an hardcoded table (disabled by default),
concluded that a color prom is currently undumped. Also documented a
bunch of unused ports [Angelo Salese]
Carrera: fixed colors [Angelo Salese]
Sky Army: cleaned up the driver, also removed the GAME_WRONG_COLORS
flag since the colors actually seems correct according to the
references. [Angelo Salese]
Trivia Madness: Improved graphics & colors [Angelo Salese]
Super Rider: improved bitplane order and colors [Angelo Salese]
Preliminary RSP recompiler, with all vector ops stubbed out to C
functions for now. [Harmony]
sbowling.c - Added proper COINAGE selections as well DIP LOCATIONS to
the driver. Added mapping for button 1 which is used to allow change
from curve to straight throw. Replaced clock speeds with XTAL values.
[Tafoid]
Re-implemented 3d rasterization in the hng64 driver as a FIFO system.
[Andrew Gardner]
ggconnie.c - Added DIP LOCATIONS to match those showing in service
mode. Added game year to source from title screen. [Tafoid]
Added preliminary decryption to Victor 5, Victor 21 and Cross Bingo
[David Haywood]
Decoded Cross Bingo proms [Angelo Salese]
hexa.c - Added DIP LOCATIONS as well as assigned XTAL for the clock
speeds, using those from Arkanoid, since the boards are nearly
identical in many aspects. [Tafoid]
RSP recompiler improvements / optimizations: [Harmony]
- Split SATURATE_ACCUM into a signed and unsigned version to reduce
stack usage.
- Corrected an issue with the 0h variants of VMRG, VAND, VNAND, VOR,
VNOR, VXOR and VNXOR.
- Slightly optimized unaligned reads and writes
- Optimized unaligned dword reads
- Corrected an issue where badly-written RSP programs could jump to
invalid addresses
Added new profiler bucket for DRC recompilation. [Aaron Giles]
luckgrln: Implemented CRT Controller hook-up [Angelo Salese]
gomoku.c, sspeedr.c - Added DIPS and changed clock values to XTAL
[Tafoid]
nitedrvr.c, tourtabl.c - Changed clock values to XTAL [Tafoid]
Added new option "numprocessors" (see windows.txt for an explanation).
[couriersud]
Optimized N64 RDP renderer by using function pointers to function
variants that eliminate costly branches. [Harmony]
Minor drc improvments: [Aaron Giles]
- simplified RSP's misaligned memory accesses
- removed now-unnecessary shifts from direct memory accesses in
mips3/powerpc drcs
- optimized AND with 0xff/0xffff/0xffffffff cases for x86/x64
- added rudimentary memory/register tracking in x86 backend to
remove redundant loads
cb2001 improvements: [robiza]
- added ay8910 and 8255ppi devices
- added some info about relation between cmast91 and cb2001
- added many opcodes
Fixed sprite-tilemap priorities in Super Slams [Angelo Salese]
Worked around protection in sranger, srangerw and srangerb
[Angelo Salese]
Converted 7474, 74148, and 74153 TTL implementations to devices.
[Aaron Giles]
More rom name corrections for the merit.c driver [Brian Troha]
Added Guru's board notes to the Outrun/Super Hang-on Driver.
[Guru]
Converted the ds2404 to a device. [Aaron Giles]
Removed deprecated core function decodegfx() [Christophe Jaillet]

"includes" path in all #include occurences. [Oliver Stoneberg]
Eliminated the use of generic.colorram and generic.videoram in
several drivers [Atari Ace]
Fixed Brick Zone parent set bitplane graphics [Angelo Salese]
Fix megadrive emulation to use the SMSIII version of the sn76489
sound chip. [Lord Nightmare, DFJustin]
Added save states to ics2115 sound device. [Fabio Priuli]
Changed EEPROM usage in many drivers to use the new device version.
[Aaron Giles, Fabio Priuli]
Removed auto-init hack from some Konami games. Hold down F2 and reset
(via F3) to initialize the EEPROM, like all the other Konami games.
[Fabio Priuli]
Cleaned up EEPROM device implementation a bit. [Aaron Giles]
Added flickering effect in Super Slams title screen
[Angelo Salese, Guru]
Fixed sprite bank bit in Spark Man [Angelo Salese]
Converted gaelco3d.c to use eeprom device code. [Fabio Priuli]
Spark Man: Refactored the protection, implemented thrash protection
that's used after the title screen. [Angelo Salese]
EEPROM device now looks for a matching memory region to fetch the
default values from. Fixed bug in ROM loader that would change the
memory region flags to match devices with no address bus. Updated
groundfx to use the new default loading scheme. [Aaron Giles]
Reworked the hng64 polygon chunk recovery code to be more crash-proof.
Documented what's known about the 3d data much better. Fixed vertex
ROM loading for fatfurwa and buriki. [Andrew Gardner]
Converted rtc65271 to a device. [Aaron Giles]
Added "new" command -listdevices (or -ld) to list the devices attached
to a driver. I notice that MESS has a command with the same name;
hopefully the behaviors can be combined eventually. [Aaron Giles]
Got rid of explicit resource tracking for state saving. Now we just
use the auto_ allocators, since registration is restricted to
initialization. [Aaron Giles]
Moved machine->gfx initialization out of the video module and into
drawgfx. We now call this before devices are initialized, so that
devices can dynamically append to the machine->gfx as needed.
[Aaron Giles]
i386 improvements: [Barry Rodewald]
* minimal implementation of the LSL protected mode instruction
* fixed the REP instruction when used with a segment prefix.
Updated readme for Race Drivin' Compact. [Guru]
Fixed a couple of edge case parsing bugs in srcclean.c. [Atari Ace]

Wink: Fixed colors [Angelo Salese]
Mostly resolved mix of intel and motorola notation in tms32025
disassembler [Lord Nightmare]
Cosmic: fixed cosmica2 romset rom split and names to match romset as
described in mameinfo, which it matches (except for one rom which
mameinfo is probably wrong about). The romset uses a different rom
daughterboard to the other cosmica romsets, and different sized roms.
[Lord Nightmare]

msisaac.c (they use the same mcu emulation) [Fabio Priuli]
Added preliminary HNG64 additive tilemap blending [David Haywood]
Fixed srcclean handling of embedded comments within strings
[Atari Ace]
PCB documentation updates: [Kevin Eshbach]
* Added the board xtal's for Battlantis, Contra and Pandora's Palace
* Corrected the MCU dump for Pandora's Palace
* Added indication of an undumped PAL for Contra/Gryzor
* Added PAL dumps for Cruis'n USA - rev L4.1
* Added information on the PROM from the 2 Board version of Congo
Bongo
Noraut Poker driver improvements: [Roberto Fresca]
* Added new technical notes.
* Added Kimble Z80 hardware support.
* Added Prologic-Noraut hardware support.
* Added proper discrete sound support to Kimble games,
and Prologic-Noraut Joker Poker.
* Slightly adjusted the visual area.
This can be wrong and must be rechecked.
* Relocated the hardware notes and layouts to ROM_LOAD section,
so can be seen/maintained in a cleaner way.
* Fixed the default lamps state.
Cleaned-up several drivers; added missing prototypes and removed dead
ones, marked non-exported functions as static and removed cases of
#include "deprecat.h" [Atari Ace]
Aleck 64: Implemented player 2 inputs [Angelo Salese]
Added a PCB layout for M.Kramer's Black Jack Poker, based on a hi-res
pic. Also added undumped devices as NO_DUMP. [Roberto Fresca]
Added common driver data struct to timeplt.c, tutankhm.c, junofrst.c,
pooyan.c, rallyx.c and rocnrope.c (these drivers all use
audio/timeplt.c). As a side effect, we now have save states in
junofrst.c and rallyx.c. [Fabio Priuli]
Converted atari drivers over to using driver_data for the most
part. Some shared systems still exist with globals, but this
tackles the atarigen module and the variables local to each
driver. [Aaron Giles]
Added validity check that AM_BASE_MEMBER and AM_SIZE_MEMBER items
point within the bounds of the driver_data structure. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed DMADAC wrapping behavior. [Tim Schuerewegen]
Added Driver Configuration to astrof.c to emulate common wire hack
which causes black background [David Haywood]
Aleck 64: Worked around hard-locks at start-up. [Angelo Salese]
Identified Semicom's Dream World hardware as a copy of Psikyo's
68020 hardware (it was already known that their older platforms were
copied from Snow Bros, and Tumble Pop) [David Haywood]
i386 core improvements: [Barry Rodewald]
* Fixed EIP displacement when executing FPU instructions with no
80387 present
* Added 32-bit implementations of SLDT and STR
Converted Kaneko Pandora sprite chip to be a MAME device and updated
drivers accordingly. [Fabio Priuli]
Added tilemap_create_device() function which lets you create a tilemap
from within a device, and be passed that device in your callback.
[Aaron Giles]
Converted Signetics 2636 video chip to be a MAME device and updated
drivers using it accordingly. [Fabio Priuli]
Memory system changes: [Aaron Giles]
- Memory banks are now referenced by tag rather than index.
Changed all memory_bank_* functions to specify a tag.
Bulk-converted existing banks to be tagged "bank##" in
order to ensure consistency. However, going forward, the
tags don't matter, so please name them something useful.
- Added AM_BANK_READ/AM_BANK_WRITE macros to let you specify
bank tags. Also changed AM_ROMBANK and AM_RAMBANK macros to
accept tags as well.
- Added new functions memory_install_read_bank_handler and
memory_install_write_bank_handler to install banks by tag
name, similar to input ports.
- Changed internals of memory system to dynamically allocate
all banks. The first time a bank with an unknown tag is
installed, a new bank object is created and tracked
internally.
- Removed SMH_* macros entirely. In their place are a series of
expanded macros and new memory installation helpers. Some
mappings below (not all are new):
AM_READ(SMH_RAM) -> AM_READONLY
AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM) -> AM_WRITEONLY
AM_READWRITE(SMH_RAM, SMH_RAM) -> AM_RAM
AM_READ(rhandler) AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM) -> AM_RAM_READ(rhandler)
AM_READ(SMH_RAM) AM_WRITE(whandler) -> AM_RAM_WRITE(whandler)
AM_DEVREAD(tag, rhandler) AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM)
-> AM_RAM_DEVREAD(tag, rhandler)
AM_READ(SMH_RAM) AM_DEVWRITE(tag, whandler)
-> AM_RAM_DEVWRITE(tag, whandler)
AM_READ(SMH_ROM) -> AM_ROM
AM_WRITE(SMH_ROM) -> (was a no-op)
AM_READ(SMH_NOP) -> AM_READNOP
AM_WRITE(SMH_NOP) -> AM_WRITENOP
AM_READWRITE(SMH_NOP, SMH_NOP) -> AM_NOP
For dynamic memory handler installation of the various types,
use the new functions:
memory_unmap_read()
memory_unmap_write()
memory_unmap_readwrite() -- unmaps a section of address space
memory_nop_read()
memory_nop_write()
memory_nop_readwrite() -- nops a section of address space
- Cleaned up the internals of the address_map_entry structure, and
also normalized the way the address map macros work to remove a
lot of redundancy.
- Renamed functions: memory_install_read/write_port_handler to
memory_install_read/write_port
- Memory shares are now specified by tag instead of index.
The AM_SHARE() macro now takes a tag parameter. All existing
shares have been bulk renamed to "share##". However, the name
does not matter, so please use descriptive tags going forward.
- Added tag validation for bank and share tags.
- Added flag to tagmap_add functions that optionally will
replace existing objects if a duplicate is found.
- Internal code shuffling. Address maps initialized internally
now call the same installation handlers that drivers do for
dynamic installation. Cleaned up some parameter ordering and
error detection.
- Added new functions:
memory_install_ram() to assign a un-named bank to a region and
specify a pointer to where the RAM lives. If this is called in
the DRIVER_INIT function or MACHINE/SOUND/VIDEO_START
functions, then it is permissible to specify NULL, in which
case the memory system will allocate memory and register it
for save states.
memory_install_rom() is like the above except that it only
installs a read handler.
memory_install_writeonly() is like the above except that it
only installs a write handler.
- Updated several instances in the code that were assigning banks
to these sorts of static RAM regions and simplified the code.
- Apply mirrors and global masks at address map detokenizing time
rather than later.

Source Changes
--------------
Multifish driver update [MetalliC]
- Hooked up RTC (real time clock)
- Added documentation about backdoor / bootleg / hacks
Space Encounter - fixed enemy shot sound. [Derrick Renaud]
Space Walk - started Springboard Miss sound. [Derrick Renaud]
Added color prom to Omega. [Andy Welburn]
m68k updates: [R. Belmont]
- throw F-line trap correctly when PMMU instructions are hit on
non-equipped CPUs.
- Added working PMMU address translation (not feature complete, but
sufficient to boot several 68030 Macs in MESS)
- Fixed up disassembly of some PMMU instructions
- Added "68020 with 68851" CPU type
Added correct 64Mb CROM dumps to spikeout. [Phil Bennett]
Added EXPECTED macro to complement the already existing UNEXPECTED
macro. [couriersud]
Discrete update [couriersud]
- fix some "const" weirdness I introduced
- fix VREF in CRFILTER_VREF and RCFILTER_VREF. VREF never got used
since it was only a static parameter.
- Removed enable from CR_FILTER* and RC_FILTER*
- Updated drivers accordingly.
- Use EXPECTED/UNEXPECTED to help the compiler
DISCRETE_CRFILTER, DISCRETE_RCFILTER updates: [Derrick Renaud]
- revert vref change from rev 6979.
- added capability for all values to be nodes.
Starship 1 - fixed motor sounds. [Derrick Renaud]
Shuffleboard - started discrete sounds. [Derrick Renaud]
Fixed DMA write mask register in 8237dma. [Mariusz Wojcieszek]
Blue Shark - added octopus sound. [Derrick Renaud]
Corrected rom names for Frogger (Sega set 2) [Derrick Renaud]
Adds PCB layout for Igrosoft's Gambling hardware in the multfish.c
driver. [Brian Troha]
Removed some old and duplicate code for genesis/megadrive from MAME.
Also, moved some megaplay/megatech constant to a struct and
refactored some code (work in progress). Updated bootlegs to use
latest genesis code and finally removed src/mame/drivers/genesis.c!
[Fabio Priuli]
Asserted copyright ownership of core library and OSD files, and
relicensed them under the standard BSD license, with permission of the
original authors. The files in question all live under src/lib/util
and src/osd. [Aaron Giles]
Device memory spaces are now visible in the debugger. [Aaron Giles]
Better task processing for discrete sounds: [couriersud]
- tasks are now processed according to their dependency lists. Tasks
can now start early and will only process samples which are
already available. This has most impact on drivers which have
significant variance in the run-time of individual tasks.
- tasks now process samples in slices, currently max 240 samples /
slice.
- TASK_GROUP is now obsolete - Will update drivers at a later stage.
- step function pointer now back in node, modules may register
optimized step functions.
- profiling code now always compiled, introduced static int
profiling = ...
- some more EXPECTED/UNEXPECTED usage.
Fixed Dip Switches for 'attckufo'. [stephh]
Improvements to Noraut poker driver... [Roberto Fresca]
* Added Draw Poker Hi-Lo hardware support, based on 8080A CPU.
* Mirrored the PPI's offsets to simplify/merge the hardware emulation.
* Added hardware documentation and PCB layouts from both DPHL sets.
* Added DPHL discrete sound circuitry scheme/documentation.
* Added Turbo Poker 2 from Micro Manufacturing.
* Added PMA poker.
* Documented the Turbo Poker 2 hardware.
* Added Turbo Poker 2 PCB layout from hi-res picture.
* Switched to the new PPI core.
* Commented out the 3rd PPI device till handshaked strobe lines can
be properly emulated. For now, all VRAM access is through direct
handlers. This allow to remove the hacks per set needed to boot
the games.

Shuffleboard - started discrete sounds. [Derrick Renaud]
Fixed DMA write mask register in 8237dma. [Mariusz Wojcieszek]
Blue Shark - added octopus sound. [Derrick Renaud]
Corrected rom names for Frogger (Sega set 2) [Derrick Renaud]
Adds PCB layout for Igrosoft's Gambling hardware in the multfish.c
driver. [Brian Troha]
Removed some old and duplicate code for genesis/megadrive from MAME.
Also, moved some megaplay/megatech constant to a struct and
refactored some code (work in progress). Updated bootlegs to use
latest genesis code and finally removed src/mame/drivers/genesis.c!
[Fabio Priuli]
Asserted copyright ownership of core library and OSD files, and
relicensed them under the standard BSD license, with permission of the
original authors. The files in question all live under src/lib/util
and src/osd. [Aaron Giles]
Device memory spaces are now visible in the debugger. [Aaron Giles]
Better task processing for discrete sounds: [couriersud]
- tasks are now processed according to their dependency lists. Tasks
can now start early and will only process samples which are
already available. This has most impact on drivers which have
significant variance in the run-time of individual tasks.
- tasks now process samples in slices, currently max 240 samples /
slice.
- TASK_GROUP is now obsolete - Will update drivers at a later stage.
- step function pointer now back in node, modules may register
optimized step functions.
- profiling code now always compiled, introduced static int
profiling = ...
- some more EXPECTED/UNEXPECTED usage.
Fixed Dip Switches for 'attckufo'. [stephh]
Improvements to Noraut poker driver... [Roberto Fresca]
* Added Draw Poker Hi-Lo hardware support, based on 8080A CPU.
* Mirrored the PPI's offsets to simplify/merge the hardware emulation.
* Added hardware documentation and PCB layouts from both DPHL sets.
* Added DPHL discrete sound circuitry scheme/documentation.
* Added Turbo Poker 2 from Micro Manufacturing.
* Added PMA poker.
* Documented the Turbo Poker 2 hardware.
* Added Turbo Poker 2 PCB layout from hi-res picture.
* Switched to the new PPI core.
* Commented out the 3rd PPI device till handshaked strobe lines can
be properly emulated. For now, all VRAM access is through direct
handlers. This allow to remove the hacks per set needed to boot
the games.

Source Changes
--------------
Added genuine sets of Rally-X and New Rally-X [Team Japump!!!]
discrete_sound_r now can inquiry any node: [couriersud]

the node value *after* scaling.
DISCRETE_74LS624 - optimized for some more speed. [Derrick Renaud]
DISCRETE_566 - started making a more accurate simulation based on
testing of a real IC. This makes the rest of Sky Raider sounds work.

access by prepending with an 'l' or 'p'. Logical remains the default.
Example: ppb@1000 = physical program space byte at address $1000.
ldw@2000 = logical data space word at address $2000. Changed cheat
finder to explicitly reference physical memory when writing out new
cheats. [Aaron Giles]
Added simple system for auto-detecting cheat-worthy RAM areas.

parallel, task groups serial. The current main task may than just
be task (in the last task group)
Space Walk - started discrete sounds. [Derrick Renaud]
Added static qualifiers where possible throughout the code.
[Atari Ace]
Discrete task groups [couriersud]
- DISCRETE_TASK_START now requires a parameter TASK_GROUP (>=0, <=9)
- Tasks are scheduled in the order of their task group
- Nodes are automatically buffered between task groups
- Discrete core determines nodes which need buffering to minimize
overhead (information in DISCRETE_LOG)

interrupt is taken.
m68k: don't save signal contexts on *BSD and Mac OS X.
[scarlet, R. Belmont]
Correct bprom name in Hellfire sets and added documentation of the
type of bprom used. [Brian Troha]
Added deletion of MSVC specific files to clean task. [Curt Coder]

a 64bit safe version of _get_profile_ticks. [couriersud]
Ported Capcom CX4 implementation over from bsnes (original code by
zsKnight, anomie and Nach). Mega Man X2 and X3 are now playable in
MESS, with bugs. [Harmony]
Partially implemented TMS5110_CMD_TEST_TALK: [couriersud]
- according to the documentation, this needs to be issued to read
status on CTL1
- cvs driver needs this
[SNES] Fixed a bug in our DSP1 emulation. Super Mario Kart can be
played again in MESS. [Fabio Priuli]
CVS improvements: [couriersud]
- hook up speech cpu
- get rid of "temporary" code which hardwire ctl & pdc writes
- use tms rom clock as sense input for the s2650. darkwar now speaks
again on startup.

No more game specific program counter checks. [couriersud]
Support external baud rates in the MC68681 DUART. [R. Belmont]
Implemented a RS and WS line interface for tms5220: [couriersud]
- this emulates the RS/WS and READY handshaking according
to the tms5220 manual. Drivers reading the ready line
should most probably use it.
- Note: For cases where the READY handshake is done by the cpu
sufficient cycles have to be burnt to simulate that the
cpu waited. This yet has to be implemented.

- adds an "optional" flag for rom/disk entries to -listxml output
- removed the obsolete "dispose" flag from the DTD in the -listxml
output
Minor optimization/cleanup of Neo Geo rendering. [Christophe Jaillet]

[SNES] Fixed a bug in our DSP1 emulation. Super Mario Kart can be
played again in MESS. [Fabio Priuli]
CVS improvements: [couriersud]
- hook up speech cpu
- get rid of "temporary" code which hardwire ctl & pdc writes
- use tms rom clock as sense input for the s2650. darkwar now speaks
again on startup.
- only one latch used for sound & speech.
- hooked up 393Hz signal to "dac3"
- pcb pictures indicate discrete logic on the sound board. Marked
all games as GAME_IMPERFECT_SOUND since we seem to miss some sounds
- 4bit dac remains mysterious
tms5110 improvements: [couriersud]
- Implement ctl port input/output for status reads.
- Input/output is switched by clocking pdc after a TALK STATUS
command.
- update drivers to support new tms5110_ctl_r
- now exhibits Rom Clock signal

No more game specific program counter checks. [couriersud]
Support external baud rates in the MC68681 DUART. [R. Belmont]
Implemented a RS and WS line interface for tms5220: [couriersud]
- this emulates the RS/WS and READY handshaking according
to the tms5220 manual. Drivers reading the ready line
should most probably use it.
- Note: For cases where the READY handshake is done by the cpu
sufficient cycles have to be burnt to simulate that the
cpu waited. This yet has to be implemented.

- adds an "optional" flag for rom/disk entries to -listxml output
- removed the obsolete "dispose" flag from the DTD in the -listxml
output

Source Changes
--------------
Discrete sound updates: [couriersud]
- Fix comments for DISCRETE_TRANSFORM
- FatalError if formula is bad
- Fixed two bugs in DISCRETE_RCDISC3
- Fix some ugly bugs around DISCRETE_FILTER_SW:
- No more iterations
- The CD4066 internal resistance largely determines sound
amplitude. This may vary significantly depending on VCC and
type (74HC, 74HCV, CD4066, ...). The current choice makes
scramble sound "about right".
- Added some profiling code for discrete tasks
- Added DISCRETE_INPUT_BUFFER to use a stream to buffer an input
node. For input nodes with a lot of writes this prevents a
stream_update on the whole discrete module which is very
ineffective. Instead, the data is buffered and the discrete
emulation can process a lot of samples in one go later.
- Added disc_syc.c as a container for core modules (output, task)
- Discrete wav and csv logs now are treated as nodes
- Added DISCRETE_START and DISCRETE_STOP functions to be called at
device start/stop
- As a side effect, profiling measures log overhead as well
- DSO_TASK_END now builds it's own dependence list.
- now simply DSO_TASK_END() ends a task
- added node parameter to RC_(DIS)CHARGE_EXP
- added const where appropriate
- removed some dead code
Color bprom verified correct Royal Card Pro v2. [Brian Troha]
De-globalified sound.c and input.c. [Atari Ace]
Improvements to Noraut Poker driver.... [Roberto Fresca]
* Corrected CPU clock to Xtal/8.
* Discovered 3 new I/O lines coming from PPI-2, PC0-PC2. They are
mixed with the handshake ones.
* Added the READOUT button to noraut12 games.
* Splitted the main machine driver to cover 2 different Noraut
systems.
* Added partial support for PPI-2, PC0-PC2 output lines on noraut11
games.
* Figured out other remaining I/O lines.
* Added new handlers to simulate the handshake lines. Still need
real support through PPI-2.
* Updated technical notes.
* Rerouted norautp and norautjp READOUT button to its own place.
* Routed the whole video RAM access through PPI-2.
(bypassed the handshake lines for now).
* Merged back the noraut machine drivers after the 3rd PPI connection.
* Added Low Level Hopper manual input.
* Added a new machine driver for extended hardware.
It has 2 jumpers that cut the a14 and a15 addressing lines.
Fixed i386 carry/borrow flag in ADC/SBB [Gabriele Gorla]
Fixes to the PIC16C5x CPU core: [Quench]
- Indirect addressing was not taking into account special purpose
memory mapped locations.
- 'iorlw' instruction was saving the result to memory instead of
the W register.
- 'tris' instruction no longer modifies Port-C on PIC models that do
not have Port-C implemented.
Added difficulty DIP to BigTwin. [Quench]
Battery backed 2KB RAM, fixing the default high-scores in speedbal.
[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Shogun Warriors - various fixes:
- Extracted tables required for Shogun Warriors to work
[Tomasz Slanina]
- Decrypted + verified table data for Shogun Warriors [David Haywood]
- Marked 2 graphic roms in Shogun Warriors as BAD_DUMP [David Haywood]
- Temporarily added a hack to the collision function to only use the
B.Rap Boys code if the game is B.Rap Boys until we have a single
function that works with both [David Haywood]
SuperFX updates [Anonymous]
- Fixed disassembly of LMULT/FMULT ops
- Fixed reads using LDW/LDB
- Fixed writes using STW/STB
- Fixed SBC carry behavior
- Fixed GETC ROM access behavior
- Some SuperFX games begin to show things in MESS
- At least partly fixed PLOT and RPIX behavior. This fixes many gfxs
in Star Fox and Vortex, but no polys yet.
Simplified kaneko16 decryption functions by working out what each of
the bits does and removing game specific references. Re-based the
decryption tables as a result. End result is verified to be the same.
[David Haywood]
Added redumped u6 GFX rom to kaneko16, fixes Geisya and Sumo [Guru]
Fix circus charly slowdowns: [couriersud]
- use SOUND_DAC device to "buffer" data and avoid 1 sample updates
for discrete part
- this is related to "03401: circusc and clones: Slowdown in
attract mode with DIP SW "Demo Sounds=ON"" though I do not
consider it a bug, but a implementation optimization.
Fixed sound banking for Shogun Warriors [David Haywood]
Added different TOD implementation for CIA6526 and CIA8520. [robiza]
Fixed a small bug with kaneko16 graphic decoding and removed old
comment about bad sound banking. [David Haywood]
SuperFX updates: [Harmony]
- Inlined a number of functions for possible speed increase
- Removed some memory buffering cruft, to be re-added later
- Fixed behavior of ASR opcode
- With additional MESS-side changes, Stunt Race FX is playable, and
Vortex shows much more.
- Hooked up RAM and ROM buffering
- Inlined several more functions
- Removed debug spew
- Added the ability to define an external IRQ line callback, and
hooked it up to the 65C816
- Fixed flag calculation for HIB opcode
- Hooked SuperFX chip up to the SNES machine driver
- Fixed carry handling in ADC, ADCI, SBC and SBCI opcodes. Fixes many
SNES SuperFX bugs.
Added some basic cheat search functionality to the debugger, allowing
searches on various memory sizes. [Sandro Ronco]
Added 'Reload All' option to the cheat menu. [Pugsy]
Enabled display of cheat comments from within the cheat menu. Press
the SPACE key to toggle display. [Pugsy]
Tweaked the shadows in twin16 to be slightly darker. [hap]
Added new function mame_fclose_and_open_next() which will close a
file and then keep searching the searchpath for the next valid file.
Did some internal rearranging in fileio.c to make this work.
[Aaron Giles]
Changed cheat search so that it loads *all* cheat files in all search
paths. Note that it is easy to end up with duplicate entries this way.
Some currently disabled code is present which filters out duplicates,
but the logic for doing this is quite unclear with the presence of
text-only cheats, which is why the code is disabled for now.
[Aaron Giles]
M377xx: fix CLB/SEB when not in bank 0. [R. Belmont]
Fixed numerous opcodes in the AVR8 core [Harmony]
Enabled alternate register naming in the MIPS core [Harmony]
Add loopback mode and counter/timer modes 3 and 6 to 68681 DUART,
self-tests now pass in dectalk in MESS. [Lord Nightmare]
SNES updates: [R. Belmont, Harmony]
- Corrected ROM loading behavior for SuperFX games
- Added more ROM mirroring needed by certain SuperFX 2 games
- Corrected the behavior of certain bit-restricted SuperFX registers.
Doom, Yoshi's Island, Dirt Trax FX and Voxel Demo show things now.
- Improved S-DD1 emulation, neither game using S-DD1 boots yet
Added preliminary Zilog Z8 CPU core for MESS. [Curt Coder]
Cleaned up drivers that write files which are not being actively
developed. Also, commented our or changed the printf-ing of some
messages to LOGERROR. [Tafoid]
Made numerous corrections to SNES S-DD1 chip emulation, SFA2 and
Star Ocean still do not boot [Harmony]
Golden Poker driver... [Roberto Fresca]
* Added 2 new Witch Card sets.
* Reworked inputs for Witch Card (german set 1).
* Created new inputs for Witch Card (english, witch game, lamps).
* Added and connected lamps for both sets.
* Added minimal bet and 50/60 Hz. switches to both sets.
* Added DIP switches info for Witch Card (german, set 2).
Added missing rom to a GEI Poker set [Team Europe, Dumping Union]
Naomi/Atomiswave video hardware update: [David Haywood]
Basically the region array is processed, and the data from the
accumulation buffer where we render is now copied into the
framebuffer depending on the tiles specified in the tile list.
This isn't full 'tile-based rendering' as that would require more
work on the preprocessing side, and writing out the data pointers
and data in real formats, however it's a step in the right direction
Currently only 565 formats are supported for both framebuffer write
and framebuffer read. The accumulation buffer is alwys 8888, data
is converted down to the specified format. The real accumulation
buffer is 32x32 and filled per tile, ours is still full screen.
The video update now just displays the framebuffer using the
framebuffer read parameters specified (again only 565 is currently
supported) This allows the Atomiswave bios screens and the
rendered output to co-exist.
Added proms to scherrym [Team Europe]
Jaguar updates: [Robbbert]
- Added RGB 24-bit pixels (for Iron Soldier)
- Added depth 0 and 1 to scaled bitmaps (for Val Disere Skiing)
- Preliminary work on PIT support
Got vandykeb up and running. [iq_132]
Added verbose debug logging for the little robin 'vdp' writes in
preparation for looking at it further. [David Haywood]
Improved the connect4 layout. [AGEMAME]
Fixed the plane order in the gfx deodes for Black Touch '96 sprites,
and Poke Champ sprites. [David Haywood]
Improveed the sprite emulation in Black Touch '96 (still wrong tho).
[David Haywood]
Fixed LOOP instructions in 16-bit mode in the i386 core.
[Gabriele Gorla]
Added various notes + checksums for Chihiro board.
[Alex's Rom Dumping Project, Mr Mudkips, Philip Burke]
Fixed stupid unidasm bug that double-counted bytes. [Aaron Giles]
Major Naomi/Atomiswave update:
- Emulated Atomiswave coin slots and standard Dreamcast controller.
Non-lightgun games without other problems are now playable.
[R. Belmont]
- Added protection data to Moero Justice Gakuen, Heavy Metal
Geomatrix, WWF Royal Rumble, Gigawing 2, Toy Fighter, and Guilty
Gear X (all are now playable but still marked GAME_NOT_WORKING
due to general Naomi concerns).
[R. Belmont, Guru, Deunan Knute, Cah4e3]
- Completed partial dumps: Derby Owners Club II, Slashout, WWF
Royal Rumble, Gigawing 2, Moero Justice Gakuen, Wild Riders,
Virtua Fighter 4 (cartridge) [Guru]
Rename osd_profiling_ticks() to get_profile_ticks(). Moved
implemention into inline functions in eminline.h and the ei*
functions. [couriersud, Aaron Giles]
Added 'options' parameter to the CPU_DISASSEMBLE prototype. For now,
the debugger always passes 0 for this. unidasm has been updated to
accept a mode parameter, which is passed for the options.
[Aaron Giles]
Added PORT_CROSSHAIR_MAPPER() allowing you to specify an alternate,
non-linear mapping function from the raw crosshair value to its
position onscreen. [Aaron Giles]

type (74HC, 74HCV, CD4066, ...). The current choice makes
scramble sound "about right".
- Added some profiling code for discrete tasks
- Added DISCRETE_INPUT_BUFFER to use a stream to buffer an input
node. For input nodes with a lot of writes this prevents a
stream_update on the whole discrete module which is very
ineffective. Instead, the data is buffered and the discrete
emulation can process a lot of samples in one go later.
- Added disc_syc.c as a container for core modules (output, task)
- Discrete wav and csv logs now are treated as nodes
- Added DISCRETE_START and DISCRETE_STOP functions to be called at
device start/stop
- As a side effect, profiling measures log overhead as well
- DSO_TASK_END now builds it's own dependence list.
- now simply DSO_TASK_END() ends a task
- added node parameter to RC_(DIS)CHARGE_EXP
- added const where appropriate
- removed some dead code
Color bprom verified correct Royal Card Pro v2. [Brian Troha]
De-globalified sound.c and input.c. [Atari Ace]
Improvements to Noraut Poker driver.... [Roberto Fresca]
* Corrected CPU clock to Xtal/8.
* Discovered 3 new I/O lines coming from PPI-2, PC0-PC2. They are
mixed with the handshake ones.
* Added the READOUT button to noraut12 games.
* Splitted the main machine driver to cover 2 different Noraut
systems.
* Added partial support for PPI-2, PC0-PC2 output lines on noraut11
games.
* Figured out other remaining I/O lines.
* Added new handlers to simulate the handshake lines. Still need
real support through PPI-2.
* Updated technical notes.
* Rerouted norautp and norautjp READOUT button to its own place.
* Routed the whole video RAM access through PPI-2.
(bypassed the handshake lines for now).
* Merged back the noraut machine drivers after the 3rd PPI connection.
* Added Low Level Hopper manual input.
* Added a new machine driver for extended hardware.
It has 2 jumpers that cut the a14 and a15 addressing lines.
Fixed i386 carry/borrow flag in ADC/SBB [Gabriele Gorla]
Fixes to the PIC16C5x CPU core: [Quench]
- Indirect addressing was not taking into account special purpose
memory mapped locations.
- 'iorlw' instruction was saving the result to memory instead of
the W register.
- 'tris' instruction no longer modifies Port-C on PIC models that do
not have Port-C implemented.
Added difficulty DIP to BigTwin. [Quench]
Battery backed 2KB RAM, fixing the default high-scores in speedbal.
[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Shogun Warriors - various fixes:

[Tomasz Slanina]
- Decrypted + verified table data for Shogun Warriors [David Haywood]
- Marked 2 graphic roms in Shogun Warriors as BAD_DUMP [David Haywood]
- Temporarily added a hack to the collision function to only use the
B.Rap Boys code if the game is B.Rap Boys until we have a single
function that works with both [David Haywood]
SuperFX updates [Anonymous]
- Fixed disassembly of LMULT/FMULT ops
- Fixed reads using LDW/LDB
- Fixed writes using STW/STB

the bits does and removing game specific references. Re-based the
decryption tables as a result. End result is verified to be the same.
[David Haywood]
Added redumped u6 GFX rom to kaneko16, fixes Geisya and Sumo [Guru]
Fix circus charly slowdowns: [couriersud]
- use SOUND_DAC device to "buffer" data and avoid 1 sample updates
for discrete part
- this is related to "03401: circusc and clones: Slowdown in
attract mode with DIP SW "Demo Sounds=ON"" though I do not
consider it a bug, but a implementation optimization.
Fixed sound banking for Shogun Warriors [David Haywood]
Added different TOD implementation for CIA6526 and CIA8520. [robiza]
Fixed a small bug with kaneko16 graphic decoding and removed old
comment about bad sound banking. [David Haywood]
SuperFX updates: [Harmony]
- Inlined a number of functions for possible speed increase
- Removed some memory buffering cruft, to be re-added later
- Fixed behavior of ASR opcode
- With additional MESS-side changes, Stunt Race FX is playable, and
Vortex shows much more.

- Inlined several more functions
- Removed debug spew
- Added the ability to define an external IRQ line callback, and
hooked it up to the 65C816
- Fixed flag calculation for HIB opcode
- Hooked SuperFX chip up to the SNES machine driver
- Fixed carry handling in ADC, ADCI, SBC and SBCI opcodes. Fixes many
SNES SuperFX bugs.
Added some basic cheat search functionality to the debugger, allowing
searches on various memory sizes. [Sandro Ronco]
Added 'Reload All' option to the cheat menu. [Pugsy]
Enabled display of cheat comments from within the cheat menu. Press
the SPACE key to toggle display. [Pugsy]
Tweaked the shadows in twin16 to be slightly darker. [hap]
Added new function mame_fclose_and_open_next() which will close a
file and then keep searching the searchpath for the next valid file.
Did some internal rearranging in fileio.c to make this work.
[Aaron Giles]
Changed cheat search so that it loads *all* cheat files in all search
paths. Note that it is easy to end up with duplicate entries this way.
Some currently disabled code is present which filters out duplicates,
but the logic for doing this is quite unclear with the presence of
text-only cheats, which is why the code is disabled for now.
[Aaron Giles]
M377xx: fix CLB/SEB when not in bank 0. [R. Belmont]
Fixed numerous opcodes in the AVR8 core [Harmony]

Added preliminary Zilog Z8 CPU core for MESS. [Curt Coder]
Cleaned up drivers that write files which are not being actively
developed. Also, commented our or changed the printf-ing of some
messages to LOGERROR. [Tafoid]

* Added DIP switches info for Witch Card (german, set 2).
Added missing rom to a GEI Poker set [Team Europe, Dumping Union]
Naomi/Atomiswave video hardware update: [David Haywood]
Basically the region array is processed, and the data from the
accumulation buffer where we render is now copied into the
framebuffer depending on the tiles specified in the tile list.
This isn't full 'tile-based rendering' as that would require more
work on the preprocessing side, and writing out the data pointers
and data in real formats, however it's a step in the right direction
Currently only 565 formats are supported for both framebuffer write
and framebuffer read. The accumulation buffer is alwys 8888, data
is converted down to the specified format. The real accumulation
buffer is 32x32 and filled per tile, ours is still full screen.
The video update now just displays the framebuffer using the
framebuffer read parameters specified (again only 565 is currently
supported) This allows the Atomiswave bios screens and the
rendered output to co-exist.
Added proms to scherrym [Team Europe]
Jaguar updates: [Robbbert]

[Gabriele Gorla]
Added various notes + checksums for Chihiro board.
[Alex's Rom Dumping Project, Mr Mudkips, Philip Burke]
Fixed stupid unidasm bug that double-counted bytes. [Aaron Giles]
Major Naomi/Atomiswave update:
- Emulated Atomiswave coin slots and standard Dreamcast controller.
Non-lightgun games without other problems are now playable.
[R. Belmont]
- Added protection data to Moero Justice Gakuen, Heavy Metal
Geomatrix, WWF Royal Rumble, Gigawing 2, Toy Fighter, and Guilty
Gear X (all are now playable but still marked GAME_NOT_WORKING

Rename osd_profiling_ticks() to get_profile_ticks(). Moved
implemention into inline functions in eminline.h and the ei*
functions. [couriersud, Aaron Giles]

the debugger always passes 0 for this. unidasm has been updated to
accept a mode parameter, which is passed for the options.
[Aaron Giles]
Added PORT_CROSSHAIR_MAPPER() allowing you to specify an alternate,
non-linear mapping function from the raw crosshair value to its
position onscreen. [Aaron Giles]

Source Changes
--------------
Added a lot of new clones to multfish and cleaned up the driver.
[Vampirz, Fabio Priuli, Brian Troha]
Further ROM name fixes and driver name changes [Yasuhiro Ogawa]
- renamed digdugb to digdug1 (it's a rev1, not a bootleg)
- renamed digduga1 to digdugat1
SNES Updates: [Angelo Salese]
- Fixed direct color gfxs in mode 7
- Fixed direct color gfxs in mode 3/4
- Fixed a vram out-of-bounds bug
- Fixed a blending bug involving main/sub color maths
- Fixed interlace mode gfxs when not in gfx modes 5/6
- Fixed a GDMA boundary bug
- Made the OAM address reset more accurate.
- Fixed HDMA mid-frame inits.
- Added clip colors to black window function
- Converted color clipping to use struct entries
- Made dynamic H resolutions to be called only at vblank start and and fixed gfx mode switching 1/5 and 5/1
- Made the gfx mode switches more accurate.
- Corrected a bunch of SPC registers behaviour
- improved joypad read/write handling and fixed a serial port quirk.
- Fixed serial port for player 2 as well
- Improved cart mode 20 reserved access behaviour
- added OBJ interlace support
ST-V: Improved timer 1 irq behaviour. Pebble Beach still have issues
with gameplay start though (writes lots of garbage for whatever
reason, really worked for random chances before). [Angelo Salese]
Corrected name from Devil's Island to Devil Island. Filled in year
for Fruit Bonus 2006 SE & Bug Fever. [Brian Troha]
Discrete sound update: [couriersud]
- removed global variable discrete_current_context
- discrete_info is now passed instead of device, we may get device by
using disc_info->device
- Added DISCRETE_IMPORT(*block): imports another discrete block
- Added DISCRETE_REMOVE(node1, node2): removes a range of nodes
- Added DISCRETE_REPLACE: next node replaces existing node, thus
preserving run order
- Added DISCRETE_NOP(node): does nothing, to be replaced.
- Added a prescanning stage to build final block list after execution
of the above.
- The additions provide an easy way to document subtle difference
between boards.
- Please see audio/galaxian.c for an example
Galaxian sound updates: [couriersud]
- Moon Cresta and Galaxian now have their respective schematics
emulated, i.e. Moon Cresta has a slightly different mixing stage.
- Cleaned up driver, added some section titles and comments, removed
old code.
- Removed emu_timer, this was causing a stream of stream_updates only
updating 3 samples
- Replaced with discrete timer module DSS_TIMER now.
- Use DISCRETE_NOTE for pitch generation; it is more accurate
(within the one ms where the pitch changes :-) ) and saves a node
- Use DISCRETE_BITS_DECODE and save 2 nodes.
YM2612/3834 updates [Eke-Eke, Nemesis]
- Split YM2612/3834 to a separate file to avoid disturbing other OPN
chips
- SSG-EG, envelope, LFO, and CSM behavior all improved to better
match tested behavior on real YM2612 chips
DSS_COUNTER updates: [couriersud]
- clock_node no longer needs to be static for DISC_CLK_IS_FREQ
- rewrote inc/dec logic to avoid loop
Added DISCRETE_BIT(S)_DECODE: [couriersud]
- decodes individual bits from input values
- Updated drivers which had macro DISCRETE_BITSET (which was a bit
misleading)
- This should be slightly faster than using DISCRETE_TRANSROM
Discrete sound enhancements: [couriersud]
- Put some life into RCDISC5 enable mode. This now acts as a switch
between R and C. Capacitor voltage will be preserved if disabled.
- Made galaxian use the above. Saved 2 nodes and increased accuracy.
- Added DISC_LFSR_FLAG_OUTPUT_SR_SN1 flag to shift register noise
generator. This will output the value of the shift register to
sub-node 1. This is needed for future bzone discrete sound
emulation. BTW: RCDISC5 will be used as well.
- Left a note on RCDISC3 on what is needed to be implemented for
bzone.
- Optimized the LFSR a bit. LFSRs running at high frequency
(> sample_freq) should benefit.
Verified and fixed deniam.c M68K, Z80, YM3812 and OKIM6295 clocks
and OKI pin 7 for logic pro and logic pro 2. Fixed visible area on
logic pro and logic pro 2 to match real PCBs. Add comment about what
ym3812 clone is used. Add note about missing graphical effect in
logic pro (screen dim on coin insert) and marked as
IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS. Add note about 4 pixels at left edge of screen.
[Charles MacDonald, Lord Nightmare]
Attempt to define an I64FMT string that can be used for printf'ing
64-bit integers. This is defined to be "I64" on MSVC and recent mingw
compilers, and "ll" for all others. Updated all instances of 64-bit
prints to use the new macro. [Aaron Giles]
Added spacwalk extended time setting and DIP locations. [gregf, hap]
Merged 5110intf into tms5110, and 5220intf into tms5220. [Aaron Giles]
Z80 changes: [hap]
- Fixed X/Y flags in CCF/SCF/BIT, ZEXALL is happy now
- Simplified DAA, renamed MEMPTR (3.
to WZ (same temp register as
the officially named WZ in the 8080), added TODO
8085 changes: [hap]
- fixed cycle deduction on unconditional CALL / RET, it took about
half too many cycles
- added cycle tables and cleaned up source layout. This was done
very carefully, it should be errorfree.
- removed HLT cycle eating (earlier, HLT after EI could theoretically
fail)
- fixed parity flag on add/sub/cmp. Bug was caused by z80 overflow
detection accidentally left in
- renamed temp register XX to official name WZ
- renamed flags from Z80 style S Z Y H X V N C to S Z X5 H X3 P V C
and fixed X5 / V flags where accidentally broken due to flag names
confusion
Fixed MSVC 64-bit compile errors. [Aaron Giles]
Added rgb[a]int_sh[l|r] operations to the rgbutils. rgbvmx needs to be
updated. (Nobody is using them yet.) [Aaron Giles]
Added color PROM for Triple Draw Poker. [David Haywood]
Changed profiler to separate start/stop cases. [Christophe Jaillet]
taito_z DIPSW fixes [kanikani]
Added decryption key for Extreme Hunting 2. [Andreas Naive]
Naomi update:
[R. Belmont, Deunan Knute, Alex, Mr. Mudkips, Frank Bukor]
- Use new dump for ic31/32, ROM board test passes now
- Add protection hookup for Marvel vs. Capcom 2, game is playable
w/sound
Added support TMS1000 family models TMS1000/1070/1100/1200/1270/1300.
Added support for configuration of output PLA to the tms0980/tms1000
interface. [Wilbert Pol]
Implemented transparent mode access for some 6845 model sy6845.
[Roberto Lavarone]
Verified clocks + Vsyncs on Downtown, Caliber 50 and Xmen (2-4
players). [Corrado Tomaselli]
Changed to mono both Downtown and Caliber 50: these pcbs don't have a
stereo connector. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Verified and added correct xtals values for cps1 boards. Added correct
xtal and divisor for OKI6295 taken from Forgotten Worlds schematics.
[Corrado Tomaselli]
Decrypted several tables from the B-Rap Boys ROM. [David Haywood]

Added a stop4 input to slot default and remapped slot default keys to
better suit Amcoe games. [Fabio Priuli]
Updated sfbonus.c to use the new gambling inputs. Fixed many years
and descriptions. Reworked parent/clone relationships so that parent
is the higher revision and/or the Export version. Also, tried to
establish common rules in the choice of the romset names.
[Fabio Priuli]
Added default input mappings for Hanafuda games. Updated most of the

Aristocrat MK-4 HW: Hooked up mc6845, fixed a rom crc in goldenc and
implemented flip y. [Angelo Salese]
DIP switch cleanups in gberet, mainevt, ninjakd2, and taito_z.
[kanikani]
Added GAME_IMPERFECT_SOUND flag to all sets that use external samples
which were not already flagged for sound. Flagged Speed Freak
(speedfrk) as GAME_SUPPORTED_SAVE to match the rest of the driver.
[Tafoid]
SNES video updates: [Fabio Priuli]
* re-enabled video debug functionalities in debug build (to toggle
background layers)
* added proper priority tables for various bg/obj layers
* largely simplified tile and line drawing routines, and fixed small
bits here and there
* further simplification of tile drawing routines
* added palette index to 8bpp tiles (correct color_shift still unsure,
though)
* reworked video drawing routine to simplify the various graphic
mode drawing and to allow proper implementation of priority orders
(especially bg3 priority bit and mode 7 priority order)
* improved mode 7 extbg (still missing mosaic)
* added some more debugging options
* improved Mode 7 math precision (but still some issues remain) and
added a few elements to PPU struct
* implemented Mosaic in Mode 7
* merged OAM functions
* added a few elements to PPU struct (this might be handy if we ever
come to convert SNES PPU to a device)
* fixed Mode 7 shared scrolling/matrix registers
* slightly optimized Mode 7 math (by using Anomie's recursive
formula)
* moved some more register contents to PPU struct
* added PPU1/PPU2 Open Bus support, STAT77/STAT78 registers should be
more accurate (even if still not perfect)
* simplified window masking code and moved some more regs to PPU
struct
More NES work: [Robert Bohms]
* Fixed bug in nes_apu that caused errors reading $4015
* Added length counter status bits to $4015
* Fixed 4-screen mirroring (PPU regression)
* Fixed cham24
* Improved Sprite Overflow emulation of NES PPU (this fixes the first
of blargg's Sprite Overflow tests)
Added remaining PCB "U" locations to roms that didn't have for
G-Stream G2020. [Brian Troha]
Atomiswave updates: [R. Belmont, Cah4e3]
- Hooked up flash ROM at 0
- Use proper AW memory map
- Emulate AW ROM board (different from Naomi)
Fixed buggy breakpoints in the g65816 cpu core. [Angelo Salese]
Fixed Atomiswave COIN ERROR. [Wind]
n8080 update [Team Japump!!!]
- corrected ROM names for Space Fever and SF High Splitter
- renamed spacefeva to spacefevo2
- added spacefevo
- added highspltb
Updated Sega Hikaru readme [Guru]
Discrete sound update: [couriersud]

- Moved discrete sound related pieces such as initialization into
audio/galaxian.h
- Split some memory maps into sound related and not sound related
parts.
- Added possibility in discrete.h to select hardware (galaxian/moon
cresta) at compile time. This leads to slightly different volume
levels. Hit sound (explosion) has been hacked to increase volume.
Currently, we can not accurately model the switch/opamp filter
circuit.
- Rewrote timer code so that the pitch timer is only used when it
produces audible results.
Cojag/jaguar video updates (primarily for MESS) [Robbbert]
* Added variable pixel width.
* Fixed display of screens wider than 360 pixels.
* Enabled use of RGB16.

set, added mcu support. [robiza]
Redumped bingor2 program roms [Klaus Sommers]
Corrected Kamakazi III's dipswitch setting (the same as superg) and
relabeled it a superg hack. Also the dipswitch setting for the Taito
license was the same as superg so I eliminated one. [Brian Troha]
Improved speaker-toggle emulation with alias filter.
[Anders Hallstrom]
NES: Fixed bank switching in multigm3 (broken due to a mistake of
mine when including original Rob Bohms' code). The game still refuses
to work, unfortunately. [Fabio Priuli]

Fixed sprite wrapping in sonson. [hap]
Added Intel 4004 CPU core. [Miodrag Milanovic]
Converted the tilemap lists to be private information held by the

old ALL_TILEMAPS definition. [Atari Ace]
Added redumped gfx rom on Shogun Warrior [Guru]
Updated romload.c and validity.c to not rely on global variables.
[Atari Ace]
Corrected resistor values in Cliff Hanger discrete sound based on
actual PCB values. [Ruben Panossian]
Removed DAA tables from the 8085 and Z180 implementations in favor of
just computing the values. Also fixed code in 8085 to prevent
accidental multiple reads due to macro overuse. [hap]
Added game time and coinage DIP switches to Space Walk, along with
service mode and test. Also added support for the 2nd controller and
coin counter. Removed GAME_NOT_WORKING as it is working fine. Added
color overlay based on photo. [hap]
Added a simple color overlay for Depthcharge based on flyers. [hap]
Updated the Konami twin16 driver. Functional changes: [hap]

[Tafoid]
SNES video updates: [Fabio Priuli]
* re-enabled video debug functionalities in debug build (to toggle
background layers)
* added proper priority tables for various bg/obj layers
* largely simplified tile and line drawing routines, and fixed small
bits here and there
* further simplification of tile drawing routines
* added palette index to 8bpp tiles (correct color_shift still unsure,
though)
* reworked video drawing routine to simplify the various graphic
mode drawing and to allow proper implementation of priority orders
(especially bg3 priority bit and mode 7 priority order)

* added some more debugging options
* improved Mode 7 math precision (but still some issues remain) and
added a few elements to PPU struct

* slightly optimized Mode 7 math (by using Anomie's recursive
formula)
* moved some more register contents to PPU struct
* added PPU1/PPU2 Open Bus support, STAT77/STAT78 registers should be
more accurate (even if still not perfect)

levels. Hit sound (explosion) has been hacked to increase volume.
Currently, we can not accurately model the switch/opamp filter
circuit.
- Rewrote timer code so that the pitch timer is only used when it
produces audible results.
Cojag/jaguar video updates (primarily for MESS) [Robbbert]
* Added variable pixel width.

Updated romload.c and validity.c to not rely on global variables.
[Atari Ace]
Corrected resistor values in Cliff Hanger discrete sound based on

just computing the values. Also fixed code in 8085 to prevent
accidental multiple reads due to macro overuse. [hap]
Added game time and coinage DIP switches to Space Walk, along with
service mode and test. Also added support for the 2nd controller and
coin counter. Removed GAME_NOT_WORKING as it is working fine. Added

Made irqs more accurate in City Connection [Angelo Salese]
Hooked up Cobra Command sound ROM. [Jim Hernandez, Aaron Giles]
Fixed cobram3 dip switch. [Xander]
Fixed a bug related to eating cycles during 68k cpu reset. Previously,
initial_cycles had a wrong value after reset, and if cycles were < 0,
it'd always return 0. This change also happens to fix a scrolling bug
in Fantasy Zone, introduced when that cycle eating thing was added.
[hap]
Calc 3 update: [David Haywood]
- Shuffled a few things around based on new findings
- Added an extra decryption table used for the Brap Boys startup code
(still doesn't do anything interesting)
- Noted that one of the unknown parameters for the MCU Init command
is where it reads / writes eeprom data from.
- Noted that an additional parameter in the MCU commands may cause
further displacement of the writeback address, as BRap Boys seems
to rely on this (needs further testing) - added a hack for now so
that BRap Boys places the writeback address of the initial table
somewhere that causes it to get executed.
Marked graphics ROMs on Led Storm Rally 2011 (US) as bad, as they
cannot possibly be the right ones for this set. [David Haywood]
Properly added support for namcos2 multiple posirq anyway. Fixes
the following issues:[hap]
- starblad polys
- fourtrax track and mirror
- dirtfoxj game start spotlight effect, game still locks up tho
- burnforc 'hiccup' glitches when scrolling left/right
- luckywld tunnel glitch (still a bit glitchy though)
- finehour bad sprite colors
Changed vsyncs to the following games: truxton, demon's world, Pang,
super pang, block block, yie ar kungfu and kikikaikai.
[Corrado Tomaselli]
Corrected sn76459 clock to Ye Ar Kungfu and verified the other clocks.
[Corrado Tomaselli]
Changed the main clock of Pang, Super Pang and Block Block.
[Corrado Tomaselli]
Switched galaxian LFO sound to use the long-disabled NEW_LFO. It's not
entirely fixed, but it's closer. [hap]
Minor MCR documentation changes: [Kevin Eshbach]
* Updated all of the TRON sets with location of the roms and the
board they belong to
* Updated the name of the PROM on the Super Sound I/O board
* Added notes about PALs that need to be dumped (The same PAL part
numbers are also used on Xenophobe and probably other MCR II &
III games.)
Fixed chdman -update to leave the write protect state alone when
updating uncompressed CHDs. [Michael Zapf]
Changed default key for Mahjong P1 Bet to '3', because '2' was
conflicting with P2 Start in 2 players Mahjong games. [Fabio Priuli]

Hooked up Cobra Command sound ROM. [Jim Hernandez, Aaron Giles]
Fixed cobram3 dip switch. [Xander]
Fixed a bug related to eating cycles during 68k cpu reset. Previously,
initial_cycles had a wrong value after reset, and if cycles were < 0,
it'd always return 0. This change also happens to fix a scrolling bug
in Fantasy Zone, introduced when that cycle eating thing was added.
[hap]
Calc 3 update: [David Haywood]
- Shuffled a few things around based on new findings
- Added an extra decryption table used for the Brap Boys startup code
(still doesn't do anything interesting)
- Noted that one of the unknown parameters for the MCU Init command
is where it reads / writes eeprom data from.
- Noted that an additional parameter in the MCU commands may cause
further displacement of the writeback address, as BRap Boys seems
to rely on this (needs further testing) - added a hack for now so
that BRap Boys places the writeback address of the initial table
somewhere that causes it to get executed.
Marked graphics ROMs on Led Storm Rally 2011 (US) as bad, as they
cannot possibly be the right ones for this set. [David Haywood]
Properly added support for namcos2 multiple posirq anyway. Fixes
the following issues:[hap]
- starblad polys
- fourtrax track and mirror
- dirtfoxj game start spotlight effect, game still locks up tho
- burnforc 'hiccup' glitches when scrolling left/right
- luckywld tunnel glitch (still a bit glitchy though)
- finehour bad sprite colors

[Corrado Tomaselli]

[Corrado Tomaselli]

* Updated all of the TRON sets with location of the roms and the
board they belong to
* Updated the name of the PROM on the Super Sound I/O board
* Added notes about PALs that need to be dumped (The same PAL part
numbers are also used on Xenophobe and probably other MCR II &
III games.)
Fixed chdman -update to leave the write protect state alone when
updating uncompressed CHDs. [Michael Zapf]
Changed default key for Mahjong P1 Bet to '3', because '2' was
conflicting with P2 Start in 2 players Mahjong games. [Fabio Priuli]
