Source Changes
--------------
-i386: xlat implementation fix [Alegend45]
-Fixed a sign bug with CVT.WS opcode in v810 CPU core [Angelo Salese]
-Updated netlist implementation: [Couriersud]
* Now supports any resolution fitting reasonably into a UINT64
* Execution now uses a list sorted by execution time
* Implementation now supports analog and digital inputs / outputs
* First step in a move to "terminals" being both input / output
* Improved object model
Pong:
* Rewrote video code, now emulates a monitor by analyzing the analog
video signal and identifying vsync and hysnc pulses.
* Removed all hacks.
Overall performance increase of about 10% over the previous "pongf"
implementation.
-patch that enables output of <info> elements stored in software lists
through -listsoftware [qmc2]
-Flicker: Boots up, some buttons working. WIP [Robbbert]
-Continuing new device implementation for SN76496 and clones - mrdo.c,
pachifev.c, tp84.c [Osso]
-Flicker: added remaining inputs, some notes, sound (of sorts), marked
as working. [Robbbert]
-Implemented remaining BSU opcodes in V810 CPU core [Angelo Salese]
-Written up a bare-bones M50458 OSD video chip device, used by Nintendo
Super System HW [Angelo Salese]
-Continuing new device implementation for SN76496 and clones [Osso]
-Written a preliminary S-3520CF RTC chip device, used by Nintendo Super
System [Angelo Salese]
-zac_1: added display, inputs, notes. ewf and sshtlzac marked as
working [Robbbert]
-Fixed G-Stream G2020's sound banking. Compared with a real PCB and
everything sounds as it should. [trap15]
-Added IGT ID-023 Protocol to driver. This additional DBV protocol
allows all remaining unsupported sets to accept dollar bills in-game.
The protocol is switchable via driver configuration (along with
denomination). [Jim Stolis]
-Shared palette fix for certain sms-based games in Mega Tech
[David Haywood]
-20pacgal.c: Add PCB layout for Pacman - 25th Anniversary Edition.
[Brian Troha]
-Preliminary implementation of the Fujitsu MB90092 OSD chip, used by
Super Famicom Box [Angelo Salese]
-Fixed for an SDL sound bug surrounding use of -speed and pausing
frequently causing corrupt sound. [Antonio Giner]
-Basic emulation of the Z180 in Super Famicom Box HW
[Angelo Salese, nocash]
-Fixed default SDL OSX UI toggle key name. [Curt Coder]
-Added Swedish/Finnish SDL keymaps for OSX and Linux. [Curt Coder]
-ppc: Implemented PPC403 DMA chaining [Ville Linde]
-Created new sprite device base class, which manages a bitmap and a
sparse bitmap for tracking which areas got updated. This allows
sprites to be rendered independently to their own bitmap and then
mixed in a final step. Converted the Sega sprite device over to this
new model, and moved the mixing steps out of the sprite
implementations and into the driver- specific video updates where it
belongs. [Aaron Giles]
-Added some further methods and helpers to the bitmap_t and rectangle
classes. [Aaron Giles]
-Created a sega_16bit_common_base class which handles the common Sega
palette RAM mappings and open bus reads. [Aaron Giles]
-nwk-tr.c: Improved LAN controller emulation [Ville Linde]
-segaorun.c: Identified the Turbo Outrun "FD1094 317-unknown" set as
317-0106 and provided a working decryption key. [Chris Hardy]
-Verified Dip Settings using Dip Sheet and through playtesting for
deadconx, deadconxj [Tafoid]
-PowerPC: Fixed 601-type BAT processing [R. Belmont]
-taito_x.c: Corrected the rom names for the Superman sets. Added info about
an alternate rom layout using a daughter card and half sized mask roms.
Changed Gigandes (Japan) to Gigandes (earlier) as both sets support
English / Japanese via dipswitch. But one set has a revised and corrected
service mode. [Brian Troha, Dave France, The Dumping Union]
-Improved SPC700 cycle opcode timings [Angelo Salese, byuu]
-Fixed a major bug with 5A22 timings, that was incorrectly taking extra
steals at every read, write and rmw types of opcode [Angelo Salese]
-Moved multiplication and division operation from SNES to 5A22 CPU core
file [Angelo Salese]
-Updated looping.c to use the new tms52xx device implementation. [Osso]
-Made core able to use bios selection per slot device
[Miodrag Milanovic]
-made S1410 device act as a SCSIHD with the custom commands, added
D9060HD & ACB4070 devices to do the same thing [smf]
-Numerous jedutil tool improvements. [Kevin Eshbach]
Made some modifications to the jedutil tool to allow the viewing of
simple combinatorial jeds (adding support for registered and gals in
the future) by taking a jed file and printing out human-readable
equations. Changed the command line options of the jedutil tool to
know take an initial argument to specify what the tool should do.
For example to convert a jed to bin the command is now: jedutil
–convert <source.jed> <dest.bin> jedutil –convert <source.bin>
<dest.jed>
To view a jed file with human-readable equations the command is
jedutil –view <source.jed> <pal type>
-gfx_element is now a class. Accessors are provided for all necessary
elements. Updated some of the more, ah, creative uses/abuses of the
gfx_elements. [Aaron Giles]
-Split out callbacks from scsibus_device into scscb_device, eventually
this will be a SCSI device. SCSIBus_interface is no longer required
and has been removed. [smf]
-DRC: Give C backend x86/x64 shift=0 behavior for consistency [R. Belmont]
-PowerPC: 100% pass of integer portion of PPCTorture on all DRC
backends. [R. Belmont]
-es5503: Preserve phase when oscillators loop [R. Belmont]
-nwk-tr.c: Fixed LAN controller issues in Thrill Drive. [Ville Linde]
-xforce: fixed display [Robbbert]
-Promoted brickzn to playable state [Luca Elia]
* Fixed gfx ROMs loading
* Fixed inputs in joystick version
* Alternate data decryption
* Fixed alternate opcode decryption ranges
* Palette encryption, banking and writes disable
* Work RAM disable
* Multiplexing of registers through protection
* Added cheat / debugging inputs
-Understood how the Seibu COP collision detection really works, greatly
improving Godzilla, Heated Barrel and SD Gundam RT gameplay
[Angelo Salese, Smitdogg]
-Generalized the PLS100 into a PLA device of variable amounts of
inputs/outputs/terms. [Curt Coder]
-In device_state_interface, rename state() to state_int() and
set_state() to set_state_int() for consistency. Update all callers.
Also add set_pc() helper and updated all callers to use that instead
of set_state_int(STATE_GENPC) [Aaron Giles]
-Added device_t::state() method to get the state interface. Added
redundant device_state_interface::state() method to catch redundant
use of it. [Aaron Giles]
-segac2.c: Corrected the rom names for ThunderForce AC. [Arzeno Fabrice]
-Removed cpu_get_reg() and cpu_set_reg() macros in favor of using the
above methods. [Aaron Giles]
-Add ambiguous execute() and memory() methods to the
device_execute/memory_interfaces respectively in order to catch
unnecessary usage of the corresponding device_t methods. Removed all
existing redundant usage. [Aaron Giles]
-merit.c: Added dipswitches to the Pit Boss sets with dipswitch
locations. Reordered sets from oldest to newest. Added
GAME_NO_COCKTAIL flag as these games support a cocktail mode.
Mapped player 2 controls for cocktail mode. [Brian Troha]
-Closeout on old macros. Retired cputag_set_input_line and
cputag_set_input_line_and_vector, replacing them with
machine.device("tag")->execute().set_input_line[_and_vector].
[Aaron Giles]
-meritm.c: Various rom name corrections and additional minor
documentation. [Brian Troha]
-meritm.c: Added PCB layout and pinout for the Merit CRT-250 PCB.
[Brian Troha]
-Fixed an horizontal scrolling bug in Sengoku Mahjong [Angelo Salese]
-Rotation: fixed displays, fixed sensors so that the game is now
playable. [Robbbert]
-es5503: Fix IRQ timing error introduced when I did the device
conversion. [R. Belmont]
-Made accurate trigonometry maths in Seibu COP [Angelo Salese,
Smitdogg]
-Rewrote the SAA5050 Teletext character generator. Removed saa505x.c
which was used by bbc.c, and refactored all drivers to use the new
implementation. [Curt Coder]
-idetrl.c - Support IDE command 0x31
(IDE_COMMAND_WRITE_MULTIPLE_NORETRY) [Phil Bennett]
-splash.c: Changed the Machine Config to use actual OSC values and
measured clocks as listed in the driver. Added a note about a Splash!
PCB with alternate (higher) OSC clocks. Added a note about The Return
of Lady Frog 9 rom and the 1 bit difference between the two sets.
[Brian Troha]
-Fixes so MESS on PowerPC OS X builds and works again. MAME is still a
lost cause. [R. Belmont]
-Updated DOCS config.txt and windows.txt with recent commands that were
never added to documentation as well as some clarifications. [Tafoid]
-expro02.c: Added PCB layouts for the Comad 940429 and 940307 boards
used for the two different versions of Fantasia. [Brian Troha]
