(Aaron Giles) Source Changes -------------- Updated Dip Switches and Inputs for 'yesnoj' (taito_f2.c driver). [stephh] Fixed several things in the jalmah.c driver: [Angelo Salese] * Fixed Mahjong Daireikai pseudo-random number generator; * Fixed Otogizoushi Urashima Mahjong to make it playable; * Fixed a start-up crashing bug in mjzoomin/urashima/daireika Simplified expro02 decryption. [Nicola Salmoria] Completed general NeoGeo cleanup: [JohnBoy] * Sorted OEM / bootleg sets * Renamed roms on non OEM / bootleg sets to ONE naming sheme * Renamed functions * Cleaned up bootleg sets * Added some comments * Renamed sma in garou/garouo, added comment Changed Cube Quest laserdisc override logic. It's still a little hacky but this works better than the previous attempt. [Aaron Giles] Updated segac2 driver to use updated megadriv code. [David Haywood] Moved fantasia -> expro02.c, however, the extra layer is misplaced on it. Scroll regs probably differ from the original. [David Haywood] PsikyoSH: hook up VBL IRQ ack [R. Belmont] SH2: fix DRC's handling of internally generated IRQs, and fix compiling in interpreter mode. [R. Belmont] Rewrote pmpoker.c driver (first part).

Large update to comments in smstrv.c for SMS Manufacturing boards. Documented how the input/output ports are hooked up, and what the PALS do, still need to document the video output port and add the smssshot roms, and actually hook stuff up (like the z80) based on the comments. [Lord Nightmare] Removed speedups from sokyugrt, they break the game (make it too slow) the SH2 DRC is sufficient. [David Haywood] Did most of the protection work for Double Dealer. It appears to use a funky video register setting involving locations $8c1e0-8c1ef range for cards movements so it isn't playable yet. [Angelo Salese] Added DIP LOCATIONS to items in the driver and cleaned up some of the comments mentioning duplicate dips configurations. Not fully understanding how the FREE PLAY was implemented, I left that not to show a location. [Tafoid] cubeqst changes: [Aaron Giles] * removed custom sound in favor of individual DACs * simplified palette management logic * hooked up the "disc on" signal Cleaned up Firefox video implementation: [Aaron Giles] - proper sprite/tile priorities - adjusted X offset to match screenshots - converted to tilemaps Added cawing B-Board PAL dumps [Corrado Tomaselli] New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status --------------------------------------------------- Mahjong Daireikai [Angelo Salese] Otogizoushi Urashima Mahjong [Angelo Salese] Good Luck!

Readded UI_ON_SCREEN_DISPLAY to be changed again in the "Inputs" menu. [stephh] Added missing support of normal joystick for player 2 in 'gwarb'. [stephh] Fixed a number of regressions due to recent 68000 IRQ changes. [Aaron Giles] Added new functions for building device-relative tags. Changed machine configuration builder to use these functions. Also changed the laserdisc player devices to use them. Updated Z80 CTC/SIO code to assume that the CPU provided for the clock is relative to the device that the CTC/SIO belong to. Updated memory code to assume that regions and devices referenced by the memory map are relative to the device the associated CPU belongs to. [Aaron Giles] Neo-Geo cleanups (still in progress): [Johnboy] - Sorted OEM / Bootleg sets - Renamed roms on non OEM / Bootleg sets to ONE naming sheme - Renamed functions - Added some comments System 24 cleanups: [Aaron Giles, Olivier Galibert] * correct memory map for both CPUs * reduced RAM size to 256k * correct video timings * renamed regions * proper interrupt handling * fixed dcclub magic latch Checked, via Z80 code analysis, inputs and Dip Switches for the following games in snk.c driver: [stephh] - ikari, ikaria, ikarinc, ikarijp, ikarijpb - victroad, dogosoke, dogosokb - bermudat, bermudaj - worldwar, bermudaa - psychos, psychosj Added correct overlay positioning, font, and behavior to PR-8210 emulation. [Aaron Giles, Warren Ondras] Sonic Blast Man 2 Special Turbo (SNES bootleg) changes: [Andreas Naive, Tomasz Slanina] - added rom decryption - patched protection checks - mapped extra inputs Fixed timers in i8051 core. [Grull Osgo] Fixed the i8051 AJMP opcode to take 2 bytes instead of 3. [Grull Osgo] Improved the button-lamps layout to all games in ampoker2.c driver. Now buttons are more realistic. Also improved the Lucky 74 button- lamps layout to be more realistic.[Roberto Fresca] Improvements to InterFlip / Recreativos Franco driver: [Grull Osgo, Roberto Fresca] - Added Baby Poker Game. - Added sound support to Baby Poker Game. - Reworked the color routines. - Added Baby Dado Game. - Added new color routines for Baby Games. - Redumped the videocba color PROM. - Added color switch. (It changes background color in some games). - Added "hopper full" switch support (for diverter function). - Added diverter function decoder. - Added full functional mechanical counters decoding. - Added 7 Segment decoder and 7 Digit Counter functions. - Added button-lamps layout & mechanical counters simulation on layout. Mechanical counters to layout: Coin-In, Coin-Out and Coin to Drop. - Added NVRAM support to mechanical counters. - Mapped "Hand Pay" button for Baby Games. - Added decoder to Jackpot mechanical counter. - Added tower lamps to Baby Games layouts. - Reworked layouts for Baby Games. Fixed old regression bug in Sengoku Mahjong that made the controls not work when the V30 CPU core was converted to 16-bit. Specifically, the game accesses the multiplexer with a word write instead of a byte write. [Angelo Salese] Checked, via Z80 code analysis, inputs and Dip Switches for the following games in snk.c driver: [stephh] - gwar, gwarj, gwara, gwarb - chopper, choppera, chopperb, legofair - tdfever, tdfeverj, tdfever2 - fsoccer, fsoccerj, fsoccerb MCU protection now working for lohtb2 (m72.c) [Couriersud] * Hooked up 6751 * Synchronized protection ram writes with timer callbacks * Removed speed hack from NEC CPU emulation, which breaks the protection code snes.c - Fixed problem with OAM address reset at start of vblank. [Tomasz Slanina] Made the Z80 daisy chain aware of referencing device-specific devices. [Aaron Giles] Added preliminary LD-V1000 emulation. Not fully working yet, but mostly there. [Aaron Giles] Cleaned up and normalized the three existing laserdisc emulations. Removed obsolete code from the laserdisc core. [Aaron Giles] Optimized st0016 RAM tile behavior to lazy decode the graphics, giving a big speed boost to some of the mahjong games. [Aaron Giles] Space Duel: Added the P10/11 dip switch (only 4 switches instead of the standard 8) [Franklin Bowen] Improvements to Sandii' games (snookr10, apple10 & tenballs): [Roberto Fresca] - Reworked the button-lamps matrix system. - Documented both output ports. - Connected coin in, key in and payout counters. - Improved the lamps layout to be more realistic. - Updated technical notes. Minor optimization to the Neo-Geo sprite clearing code. [Christophe Jaillet] Added emulation for snes special chips DSP-2 & OBC-1.

Renamed p1 / p2 to correct chip label, marked NO_DUMP . Added note Added pen_mask tile attribute to the tilemap system. Implemented dynamic tile & sprite bit depth in the Taito F3 driver. [Nicola Salmoria] Changed MAKE_RGB macro to set the alpha to 255 instead of 0. Updated palette.c to preserve the alpha when transforming palette values. These changes should be transparent to almost all drivers and rendering (ha-ha), but there may be an occasional instance where a driver relied on the alpha being 0 in the system palette. This also means that the palette_set_color() function preserves any alpha value that is set. [Aaron Giles] Changed Firefox to RGB32 to allow for mid-screen palette changes. Because of the above change, the hacky alpha manipulation that was previously required is no longer necessary; the alpha is set directly in the palette entry. [Aaron Giles] Removed render_container_set_palette_alpha() hack. Now the alpha value can be set directly in the palette entry and will be respected for laserdisc overlays. [Aaron Giles] Minor NSS/SNES cleanups [Fabio Priuli] Updated warpwarp.c driver: [stephh] - reworked 'geebee', 'navarone' and 'warpwarp' INPUT_PORTS definitions by using conditional Dip Switches. - added 'geebeeb' INPUT_PORTS definition (this game has specific "Replay" settings). Removed unneeded keys: [stephh] - UI_ON_SCREEN_DISPLAY (there is now a "Slider Controls" menu) - UI_ADD_CHEAT, UI_DELETE_CHEAT, UI_SAVE_CHEAT, UI_WATCH_VALUE, UI_EDIT_CHEAT, UI_RELOAD_CHEAT (these keys belonged to the old cheat engine) Converted the z80pio implementation into a device. [Wilbert Pol] Verified watchdog behaviour in schematics for 8080bw.c. [couriersud] ldverify improvements: [Aaron Giles] - uses back-end decoding for CHDs directly to bitmaps - changed min/max detection to only check 0/255 - fixed off-by-one bug in min/max computation - separated white code detection from frame number detection - track cadence with frame numbers as well as white codes - use vbiparse.h constants where appropriate Plumbed machine parameters through the renderer. Removed need for deprecat.h. [Aaron Giles] Changed render_texture_set_bitmap() to accept a palette object instead of a palette index. The renderer remains optimized for the system palette but will work if objects have their own palette as well. [Aaron Giles] Changed renderer to permit palettes for RGB and YUY textures. If specified, these palettes specify a 32-entry (RGB15) or 256-entry (others) lookup for applying additional brightness/contrast/gamma on a per-texture basis. [Aaron Giles] Removed rescale notification. It never really worked that well and violated proper layering. [Aaron Giles] Renamed palette_set_brightness() to palette_set_pen_contrast() for clarity. [Aaron Giles] Changed palette objects to support global brightness/contrast/gamma in addition to per-group and per-entry controls. [Aaron Giles] Simplified core deinterlacing logic based on availability of pre- decoded VBI data. Added plumbing for allowing for overall brightness/ contrast/gamma corrections on laserdisc video. Fixed bug when combining brightness values in the palette logic. [Aaron Giles] Converted Z80 CTC to a proper device. Updated all drivers. Added new item to the interface which is the tag of a CPU to take the base clock from. [Aaron Giles] Changed Z80 daisy chain interface to simply be a list of devices in the chain. Interrupt callback functions are now fetched via the standard device interface and referenced by the daisy chain code. [Aaron Giles] Changed Z80 PIO interrupt callback to pass a device instead of the machine. All device callbacks should provide the device. [Aaron Giles] merit.c: [couriersud] * Implemented palette & colour decoding from crt 200 schematics. * Hooked up 6845 * Hooked up lscnblk line * Fixed Phraze Craze gfx rom ordering * Clocks from schematics * Ram palette moved to static var. This should not be in RAM. * Added save state support expro02.c: [DITraI4D0] - fixed DIPSW - added graphics decode routine (probably it can be simpler) video/kaneko16.c [DITraI4D0] - tilemap scroll position is different for expro02, so added new function (is it better to fix current one?) Converted Z80 SIO to device. Updated drivers accordingly. [Aaron Giles] Added additional Motorola DSP56k reset behavior. [Andrew Gardner] Added mechanism to generically specify input port tags in place of machine/device handlers. Unfortunately, the implementation relies on sentinel values to distinguish a port tag versus a pointer to function code. However, since this is a very common situation, it will hopefully be worth the slight grossness. New macros are defined in inptport.h: DEVICE8_PORT(name) - use this to specify the name of a port to read wherever a read8_device_func would normally be used MACHINE8_PORT(name) - same as DEVICE8_PORT except it can be used wherever a read8_machine_func would normally be used IS_HANDLER_PORT(ptr) - accepts a read8_device_func or read8_machine_func and determines if it is an actual function or a reference to a port; intended for use by devices that accept DEVICE8_PORT-style functions CALL_DEVICE8_READ(ptr,device,offset) - either calls through the given read8_device_func, or calls input_port_read with the appropriate tag, depending on the result of IS_HANDLER_PORT; intended for use by devices that accept DEVICE8_PORT-style functions CALL_MACHINE8_READ(ptr,machine,offset) - same as CALL_DEVICE8_READ except for read8_machine_func Note that in order for these to be useful, the consumer of the function pointer must be enhanced to use the CALL_* macros above instead of directly calling through the function. So far, only the 8255 PPI is set up to do this, as part of the cleanup below. Also note that the sentinel value is currently 4 consecutive 0 bytes; this may need to change in the future, in either length or value, so it is important to stick to the macros above. [Aaron Giles] 8255 PPI interface cleanup: [Aaron Giles] - added MDRV_PPI8255_ADD, MDRV_PPI8255_RECONFIG and MDRV_PPI8255_REMOVE macros; updated all drivers to use them - changed callbacks to device read/write handlers intead of machine read/write handlers; updated all drivers accordingly - normalized function and variable names to be lower_under - removed a number of redundant interfaces from the galaxian/ scamble line of games LD-V1000: added some (compile-time removed) information about the ROM and memory map [Aaron Giles] Changed 68000 interrupts to only trigger during execution. This means that multiple changes without any execution will be seen as atomic. It also means that PULSE_LINE no longer works for signalling IRQs. [Aaron Giles] Added checks in the debug build to catch people who try to use PULSE_LINE for non-NMI and non-RESET input lines on CPUs that no longer support direct interrupt generation. Over time expect this list to increase. [Aaron Giles] Fixed edge case bug in the Cube Quest line CPU involving adding with carry. [Matt Ownby] Fixed sbasketb DIP switch reading. [Fabio Priuli] Continued work on System1 inputs: [Sonikos] - Added dips location in all game - Moved in generic Cabinet dip for eliminate the redundancy - Better implementation of generic input Changed the NSS/SNES loading code to support more cart/memory layouts and generally be more in line with the MESS way of handling SNES cartridges.

[couriersud] rescale_notifier() changed to always allow rescaling for screenless drivers. [Wilbert Pol] Added 22VP931 emulation, which is mostly working. Communication works fine and basic searching/playback/skipping is functional. Still a bit glitchy. [Aaron Giles] Firefox improvements: [Aaron Giles] - memory map is complete from schematics - gutted laserdisc hacks in favor of actual laserdisc implementation - fixed all CPU and sound clocks - removed need for deprecat.h Added generic timer devices, which simply allocate a timer but don't prime it. This is the preferred method for allocating timers, and may eventually be the only mechanism for doing so in the future. [Aaron Giles] Fixed copy + paste error in geebeeg romset. [David Haywood] Move dkong memory_region calls into initialization routines. [couriersud] Fixed -listroms to know about device-specific ROMs. [Aaron Giles] Another pass to make static functions static, almost entirely affecting code added in the last few months to MAME. The fixes are the usual lot, changing enum definitions so they aren't declared, decorating dead code/declarations with #if...#endif, and of course, adding static where appropriate. In addition, I fixed a bunch of UNUSED_FUNCTON symbols to be spelled correctly (I didn't introduce this). [Atari Ace] More system1.c input cleanups. [Sonikos] Naomi update: [Samuele Zannoli] * now show the contents of the framebuffer if the 3d accelerator is not used so that now the atomiswave logo and messages are shown (if you wait enough). * removed a maple bug (no more strange messages in cvs2gd). * improveed documentation of the communication registers with the dimm board * if DEBUG_VERTICES is defined as 1 the vertices sent to the tile accelerator are collected and then drawn connected by a segment to give a wireframe-like view of the scene. Minor optimization to fillbitmap when non-zero fills are done.

(Tafoid) - 02242: [Gameplay] ikarijp, ikarijpb: Test screen now required to be cycled to enter game. (Nicola Salmoria) Source Changes -------------- Added redump of indytemc. There's sprite/playfield flipping issues, hence GAME_IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS. [Dazzer] Improvements to Funworld driver: [Roberto Fresca] - Added new clone: Pool 10 (italian, set 4). - Improved lamps layout for all games. - Added Pool 10 pinout and DIP switches info. - Updated technical notes. Continued I/O map merging. [Andrew Gardner] Changed Namco NB-x to use real C75 BIOS, read controls the real hardware way. [R. Belmont] Added lamps support + layout to magjoker and galaxi. Magjoker has a good lamps sequence in the attract. [Roberto Fresca] Fixed crash when hitting watchpoints on static handlers. [Aaron Giles] Changed Namco NA-2 to use real C70 BIOS. Removed sound and input simulation code. Changed the NA-1/2 MCU type to M37702. [Phil Bennett] Added correct colour PROMS to arkatour. [Dazzer] Fixed inputs in Main Event (SNK) based on the info in http://otoya.sheep-cloud.net/dipsw/ma-mo/mainevent.html. [9IEM1smI0] Jaleco 'Bomb's Away' Improvements [aDG4W+qp0] Fixed refresh rate and interrupts in sg1000a driver, added 8255PPI and coin counter. [Curt Coder] Changed requirements for laserdisc CHDs to require a new chunk of metadata with pre-decoded frame information. Modified chdman to automatically produce this for CHDs that are of the appropriate parameters. To fix up existing CHDs, use chdman -fixavdata on the CHD. [Aaron Giles] Modified the laserdisc core to leverage the pre-decoded frame metadata, which is now required. This improves seek times when searching and allows the player-specific emulation access to the VBI data as soon as it would really be available. Changed update callback timing to fire just before the first line of VBI data would be read; at that point, the frame selection is assumed to be committed. [Aaron Giles] Converted PR-8210 emulation over to using the actual MCU from the laserdisc player. This MCU controls low-level functions such as slider position and laser on/off, and receives decoded vertical blanking data in order to make decisions. Removed old HLE behavior. Note that the overlay text is displayed via the UI; this is temporary and will be fixed shortly. [Aaron Giles] Converted Simutrek-hacked laserdisc emulation to using the actual MCU from the game, which in turn hands off commands to the PR-8210 MCU. This is still not 100% but is pretty close at this point and achieves the correct behaviors in most cases. [Aaron Giles] Fixed Cube Quest overlay scaling to cover the whole screen. [Aaron Giles] Changed laserdisc video parameters to position the screen area at the bottom rather than the top, since this corresponds more closely to standard line numbering. [Aaron Giles] Extended the vbiparse code to support pack/unpack, and to more fully document all the meanings of the VBI codes. [Aaron Giles] Updated ldplayer to support slow/fast forward movement, frame/chapter display, and separate controls for scanning/stepping. [Aaron Giles] Added new built-in variable "frame" to the debugger. [Aaron Giles] Fixed device-based ROM loading to support loading ROMs from the game's ZIP as well. [Aaron Giles] CPU-internal regions now have priority again. Fixed mario by installing a handler in the SOUND_START function. [Aaron Giles] Improved DIP switch handling and added DIP locations in epos.c. [Tafoid] Added DIP locations to the dec0 driver. [Tafoid] Separate NBA Jam TE from NBA Jam as they are not technically clones of each other. [Atari Ace] Verified cpu clocks and corrected/verified OKI M6295 frequencies and pin for Shadow Force. [Corrado Tomaselli] New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status --------------------------------------------------- Fire Fox (still needs proper laserdisc support) [smf] New clones added ---------------- Tengai (World) [Jet Black / Tormod] Pool 10 (italian, set 4) [Roberto Fresca] Hot Mind (adjustable prize) [David Haywood, Roberto Fresca] Marvel Vs.

This fixes, at least, the water effect in riskchal and the text fading effect in the matchit2 demo. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli, Tomasz Slanina] Started changing naomi gdrom sets to load the CHDs. [David Haywood] Additional documentation for Egg Venture & Lethal Justice: [Brian Troha] - Added JAMMA pinout - Gun Connector pinout - Sound & Amp information snk.c coin inputs seem to be active high (except for jcross) [Nicola Salmoria] Fixed bg tile banking in Canvas Croquis. Removed snkwave since it doesn't seem to be used and might not be present on the pcb at all. General driver cleanup, bringing it in line with snk.c but not merging it since somthing doesn't quite fit. [Nicola Salmoria] Merged memory maps in munchmo.c. [Nicola Salmoria] Changes to magic10 driver: [Roberto Fresca] - Better structure and organization. - Added Super Gran Safari. - Added improved lamps layout to Super Gran Safari and Magic's 10. Added new device interface selector: DEVINFO_PTR_ROM_REGION. This allows a device to provide a set of ROM regions to be loaded along with the game ROMs. It is expected that most regions defined for devices will use the ROMREGION_LOADBYNAME flag to enable the ROMs to live in a central location. [Aaron Giles] Added new device interface selector: DEVINFO_PTR_MACHINE_CONFIG. This allows a device to specify a partial machine driver which is appended to the end of the machine driver for any game using that device. The intention for this is to allow devices which have their own BIOS logic to specify CPUs and other characteristics common to all systems using the device. [Aaron Giles] Added new ROMREGION flag: ROMREGION_LOADBYNAME, which means that if the ROMs in that region are not found in the usual driver files, then the name of the region will be used as a driver filename for loading. [Aaron Giles] Extended the ldcore interface structure to allow each player type to provide its own ROM region and partial machine driver. [Aaron Giles] Moved preliminary PR-8210 emulation code from ldplayer.c to ldpr8210.c. It is currently disabled behind the EMULATE_PR8210_ROM compile time flag. [Aaron Giles] Added built-in "Off" states to the cheats with parameters. This is also the default state, obviating the need for a default value. Removed the "default" attribute as a result. Switching from "Off" to another state first executes the "on" script followed by the "change" script. Switching to "Off" from another state executes the "off" script. While not off, the "run" script is executed each frame. [Aaron Giles] Moved reset to default behavior in the cheat menu to IPT_UI_CLEAR. [Aaron Giles] Moved all naomi-gd keys to external. [David Haywood] Cleaned up shadfrce.c input port mapping. [David Haywood] Merged I/O maps in a number of drivers. [Andrew Gardner] Fixed sprites in imago [Pierpaolo Prazzoli, Tomasz Slanina] Added concept of rom sources to the rom loader. Updated auditing, CLI utilities, validity checks, and ROM loading to use these new functions so that device-specific ROMs are handled properly. [Aaron Giles] Added a core_fopen_ram_copy() call, similar to core_fopen_ram() except that it copies the memory. [Nathan Woods] Added redumped welltris program ROMs. [Dazzer] CPUs, sound chips, devices, and ROM-regions which are specified by devices now have their tags auto-prefixed with the device's tag. This allows for multiple instances to be present. For example, the PR-8210 laserdisc player has a CPU with a tag of "pr8210". When it is included as a device by a driver, the driver may tag the device "laserdisc". The resulting final CPU tag name will be "laserdisc:pr8210". Also updated the debugger expression engine to support names with embedded colons. [Aaron Giles] Added checks to ensure that tags used for CPUs, sound chips, regions, and devices follow some basic rules: they should be less than 15 characters long, be all lower-case, and only contain letters, numbers, underscores, or dots (no spaces). This is to ensure that they can be used properly in debugger expressions and don't get too long or unwieldy to type (even 15 chars is rather long). Fixed up all tags in the system that failed these checks. [Aaron Giles] Space Win changes: [Roberto Fresca] - Some corrections to the memory map. - Added proper working RAM. - Added Dallas DS1220Y NVRAM. - Added output port. - Added lamps layout. - Added complete inputs. - Changed description to "Scacco Matto / Space Win" since the default game is Scacco Matto. - Fixed memory maps. - Documented Super Derby outputs. - Added lamps support + layout to Super Derby. - Fixed the phisical RAM size to all games. - Fixed the wrong NVRAM size to spacewin (16Kb instead of 16KB). - Added proper NVRAM to sderby and pmroulet. - Added the missing 3rd input to pmroulet (needed for 3-button mode). - Cleaned up the driver. You must enter the service mode and change graphics in order to switch the game. Changed DEVICE_START functions to return an error code. Currently this is either DEVICE_START_OK or DEVICE_START_MISSING_DEPENDENCY. The latter should be returned by a device if there is another device it depends on which hasn't been started yet. Added new flag in the device interface to indicate whether a device has been started. [Aaron Giles] Changed laserdisc interface to explicitly specify the screen and sound devices it should route to. Drivers no longer have to manually call laserdisc_vsync(). Instead, the laserdisc code connects up to the routed screen device and works based on that screen's VBLANK timing. Removed all existing calls to laserdisc_vsync(). [Aaron Giles] Changed laserdisc behavior so that it completes the previous video read and initiates the next read at the end of VBLANK instead of the beginning. This gives player logic time during VBLANK to alter the slider position prior to fetching the next frame. [Aaron Giles] Added new laserdisc callback for vsync begin and changed the update callback to be called at the end of VBLANK. Also added functions to set the slider speed, advance the slider, and directly control the video/audio squelch. In addition, there is a new status function to get the slider position in general terms. [Aaron Giles] Added parameter to the VBLANK callbacks supported in emu/video.c. Updated all callers to provide a callback value. [Aaron Giles] Fixed bug that would cause watchpoints to trigger if you had a memory window open to the watchpoint address. [Aaron Giles] Further updates to the PR-8210 ROM simulation. Still not quite there but the system is much better understood now. Added layout to the PR-8210 which displays the state of the front-panel LEDs. [Aaron Giles] Clickable input support. Layouts can now have items which when clicked will alter the state of an input port. This is done via the new attributes 'inputtag' and 'inputmask', which specify an input port tag and mask. When the given element is clicked, the state of the element changes to 1 and the given bits in the input port are set the same as if you had pressed the equivalent switch. [Nathan Woods] Started adding naomi2 sets. [David Haywood] Added sprites buffering to Limenko driver and removed imperfect video flag from spotty. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Improvements to Croupier (Playmark Roulette): [Roberto Fresca] - Simulated the MCU communication/protection. The game seems to work properly, but is hard to win. I conserved the game flags till we have the MCU decapped, and emulated properly. - Added full sound support. - Added lamps support + layout. Fixed memory handling of internal banks. They should be LOWER priority than the driver's memory maps. Reverted recent changes to MCS-48 core that were very hacky and which crashed many games. You can now properly override the internal memory map and do your own banking. [Aaron Giles] 8080/8085 CPU core updates: [Miodrag Milanovic] 1. ANA/ANI instruction, HF flag was not set right because error in calculation of it (missing brackets) 2. 8080 have NF flag always set (it is not used flag but bit is always set) 3. Added support for status output lines. Moved more static data into const and added some more explicit initialization. [Atari Ace] Added LSI BIOS to the Atari System 1 driver. Made the System 1 BIOS a proper BIOS. Removed restriction that BIOS-related ROMs must immediately follow the BIOS definition. [Kevin Eshbach, Aaron Giles] cave.c changes: [Kevin Eshbach] * Changed the hardcoded MHz values in the Cave driver to the XTAL equivalents * Updated the Cave driver for the game Guwange with gals that need to be dumped Jail Break changes: [Kevin Eshbach] * Updated the Jail Break driver with the dip locations * Corrected the Jail Break driver sound chip from a SN76496 to a SN76489 * Corrected the Jail Break rom names * Redumped the Jail Break VLM rom dump Super Basketball changes: [Kevin Eshbach] * Corrected the Super Basketball Revision H rom dump * Updated the Super Basketball driver with the dip locations * Corrected the Super Basketball VLM XTAL * Corrected the Super Basketball parent/child relationships by making the Revision H the parent * Turned on save state support for the Super Basketball driver Updated the Sega System 1 driver with more board information on the Choplifter bootleg and updated the placeholders for the pals that need to be dumped. [Kevin Eshbach] Updated the WWF Wrestlefest driver rom names. Added save state support to the WWF Wrestlefest driver. [Kevin Eshbach] C352 cleanup: Removed an unused volume table dating from before the volume was (correctly) implemented as linear. [Olivier Galibert] Added memory checking and error logic to ledutil.c. [Christophe Jaillet] Added running_machine * to some more locations in the system. Updated drivers accordingly.

(Aaron Giles) Source Changes -------------- Optimized DISCRETE_RCDISC_MODULATED. Added X_TALs to circus. Optimized DISCRETE_RCINTEGRATE and DISCRETE_555_ASTABLE. Optimized DISCRETE_555_ASTABLE_CV and DISCRETE_MIXER. Optimized DISCRETE_555_CC. The 555 and mixer changes also speed up just about every current discrete game. [Derrick Renaud] Added updated information about Sorcer Striker and moved Fix Eight bootleg PCB layout down by the roms like the other layouts in the driver. [Brian Troha] Added redumped roms for the Bubble Symphony (bootleg with OKI6295) set. [Brian Troha] Started removing extraneous enable lines from the discrete modules. Most modules are always enabled anyways. [Derrick Renaud] Changed MCS-48 core to write p1 and p2 on reset. [couriersud] dkong/dkongjr: use MB8884 as sound cpu / verified on schematics. [couriersud] mcs48.c: Use banking to handle ea line: [couriersud] * Adds MCS48_INTERNAL_ROMBANK define to header * Drivers which need to control the ea line have to initialize banking for internal/external rom This is not yet optimal but works as expected with existing drivers and modified mario.c Changed MCS-48 EA line handling to use an explicit bank for now. [couriersud] Added EggVenture readme to lethalj.c. [Guru] Changed sound cpu type in saiyugb1 to I8748. [couriersud] dkong.c: S2650 based games consolidated [couriersud] * consolidated memory maps for S2650 based games * renamed handlers to s2650_* * joined protection handlers Added Cruis'n USA and new Raiden DX/2 readme. Cleaned up some documentation in raiden2.c. Renamed "Raiden DX (set 2)" to "Raiden DX (Tuning license)", and renamed ROMs to match the actual PCB. [Guru] Updated documentation and disk/ROM names in segas24 based on new information. [Brian Troha, T.Fujita] Removed "game_no_sound" from the 2 Hotrod games (in segas24.c) as all 3 seem to have the same sound capabilities. [Brian Troha] toaplan2: [Brian Troha] * removed duplicate info * changed most speeds to "xtal_xxMHz" define * corrected Battle Battle Bakraid Z80 clock based on readme info Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs for 'aso', 'alphamis', 'arian' (same as 'alphamis'), 'tnk3', 'tnk3j' (same as 'tnk3') and 'athena'. [stephh] Improvements to galaxi driver... [Roberto Fresca] - Added Magic Joker. - Fixed the 3rd background offset to Galaxi. - Remapped inputs to match the standard poker games. Began the "big IO_MAP merge of 2008". A number of drivers have had their I/O space address maps merged. [Andrew Gardner] Changed the default bootleg gwar pcb to be joystick only, and removed code duplication. Fixed jcross cabinet dip switches. [Nicola Salmoria] M377xx: 8-bit I/O port reads no longer cause bogus reads of neighboring ports. [R. Belmont] Removed unnecessary ARM7 hooks so MRC and MCR disassemble properly. [R. Belmont] Updated TMS5100 LPC tables based on mathematical analysis of 1st and 2nd derivatives of the values and comparison to the best quality patent image, which nearly always showed which values were in error. Some off-by-one issues may remain, but it is now nearly perfect. Further perfection will require PROMOUT dumping, which is planned. [Lord Nightmare] snk update: [Nicola Salmoria] * added another ikari us clone * renamed ikaria to ikarinc (for Ikari No Continues) * ikari is the JAMMA board, with conitnues * ikaria is the non-JAMMA board, with continues * ikarinc is the non-JAMMA board, without continues * fixed sound in Jumping Cross * adjusted some input bits in several games * merged hal21.c into snk.c * removed hacks and kludges * fixed colors (I think--though some sprites do look weird) * fixed emulation of the "SNK Wave" custom sound used by Marvin's Maze and Vanguard II and made it into a proper sound core * fixed palette decoding of early SNK games (from marvins to athena + fitegolf). The least significan bits were assigned incorrectly. * merged marvins.c into snk.c, with all resulting fixes (removed hacks, correct shadows, scroll offsets etc) Replaced aso ROMs (which were possibly from a bootleg) with split ones that are definitely from an original. Renamed ROMs across sets accordingly. [Nicola Salmoria] Converted timekeeper to a device, all default contents are loaded from disk. slapshot & opwolf3 read/write memory map have been merged. [smf] Shadow Force changes: [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] - Added irqs ack - Implemented raster irq - Fixed coin2 and service input not working during the game - Added watchdog - Fixed visible area - Added video enable and irqs enable flags Added decryption of 39in1. Doesn't get far due to very odd RAM check routine. [Andreas Naive] Changed all MCS-48 chips to have a 12-bit address space, regardless of internal ROM size. [Aaron Giles] Enabled internal COP410 program map. [Curt Coder] Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs for 'hal21', 'hal21j' (same as 'hal'), 'fitegolf', 'fitegol2' (same as 'fitegolf') and 'countryc'. [stephh] Changed refreshspeed target to 0.25Hz below rate provided, in order to guarantee that inexact timings do not lead to sound stuttering. [Aaron Giles] Added Fist of the North Star and (partial) Demolish Fist sets (Atomiswave) and decryption. [Andreas Naive] Added PCB info for Hard Yardage & earlier World Class Bowling. Corrected a few rom names. [Brian Troha] Split core laserdisc functionality into separate file ldcore.c. Each player now gets its own source file, along with new hooks which enable more precise control over the behavior. Updated the PR-8210 and LD-V1000 implementations to the new spec. Other players will come online shortly. [Aaron Giles] Changed laserdisc scan behavior so that it requires a constant stream of signals to continue scanning. Updated ldplayer accordingly. [Aaron Giles] Updated debugger to pass running_machine around where appropriate. Added running_machine to several devices which really should eventually be converted into proper devices. [Oliver Stoenberg] Concluded input port cleanups for drivers W->Z. Changed Primal Rage start buttons into input buttons. Removed unused protection bit in Driver's Edge. Introduced a new PORT_CUSTOM which returns a tagged input that can be used to route bits from one port into another. [Fabio Priuli] Added the missing SHA1 checksums to the atrowar set. [Oliver Stoenberg] Added basic implementation of the "update ended" interrupt flag to the MC146818.

(ShimaPong) Source Changes -------------- Changed DIRECTINPUT & DIRECT3D handling, so they can be overridden by environment variables. [smf] Readded generic calls to install memory handlers that were in long before 0.126u5 - these are useful on the MESS side for things like the PC driver. [Nathan Woods] HD63484 improvements: [robiza] * fixed cpx and cpy when a ptn or a agcpy command is executed * fixed for PTN command: copy direction and dot color * first implementation of PAINT command (for now only 4bpp and 8bpp supported and the pattern is not supported) Cleaned up the discrete code and fixed discrete logging. [Derrick Renaud] Fixed handling of a number of static variables to avoid multisession issues. [Atari Ace] Moved FD1089 decryption keys to external files. [Atari Ace] Changed 68000 IRQ support so that the IRQ lines explicitly simulate a standard demux chip connected to the IRQ lines. This means that the sequence: cpunum_set_input_line(5, ASSERT_LINE); cpunum_set_input_line(3, ASSERT_LINE); cpunum_set_input_line(3, CLEAR_LINE); now works as expected. This required fixes to several Atari and other drivers. [Olivier Galibert] Input port cleanup pass over drivers from N-V, leveraging AM_READ_PORT, converting to full 32-bit inputs where suitable, using CUSTOM_PORTs for EEPROM bits, etc. [Fabio Priuli] Additional input port cleanups in the cps1, deco, pgm, psikyo, nbmj, and jaleco drivers. [Fabio Priuli] snk.c rewrite: [Nicola Salmoria] - fixed sprite-sprite priorities - TNK3, Athena, Fighting Golf, Country Club - converted to tilemaps - removed hacks - proper memory maps - screen flip / cocktail mode support - DIP locations - better implementation of sound CPU communication - hooked sound CPU interrupts to YM chips - fitegolf hax 1xYM3812, not 2xYM3526 - Ikari Warriors, Victory Road - removed ROM patches - simulated "hard flags" behaviour - proper memory maps - fixed ikarijp color test - renamed dogosokj to dogosokb and loaded the correct palette PROMs - inputs, dip locations, etc. - removed NO_COCKTAIL flag since these games don't have a flip screen dip switch - Guerrilla War, Psycho Soldier, Chopper I, TouchDown Fever / Fighting Soccer - tilemaps - proper memory map - input, dip locations, etc. - Bermuda Triangle / World Wars - removed ROM patches - simulated "turbo front" check - renamed bermudao->bermudaj - clarified the relationship between the four sets - made World Wars a main set instead of a clone of Bermuda Triangle - tliemaps, proper memory maps, inputs, etc. - ASO - moved from hal21.c to snk.c - removed hacks, fixed bg color - Gladiator - moved from sgladiat.c to snk.c - fixed shadows, visible area, tilemaps, inputs, etc. - Jumping Cross - moved from jcross.c to snk.c - fixed fg layer and visible area - the game seems to be ok now? is there still something wrong? Added 8303 ROM to the games using it and updated MCU simulation to match the new findings. [Nicola Salmoria] Removed duplicate buttons in sf2hack. Promoted sf2m2 clone to working. [robiza] Added helper function devtag_get_device(machine, type, tag) to retrieve the device_config for (type, tag). [couriersud] Hooked up sound CPU comms in Power Instinct 2. This enables synchronized dancing for the background characters. [ShimaPong] Fixed bug when writing AVI files with more than one RIFF chunk. Added missing chdman error messages when extracting to an AVI file. [Aaron Giles] Derived CPS2/CPS3 video timing based on measurements. These are educated guesses. The logic behind the derivations is shown in the source. [Aaron Giles] Game-A-Tron gambling hardware updates: [Roberto Fresca] - Added sound support to "Poker 4-1" and "Pull Tabs". - Figured out the output ports. Documented each bit accessed. - Added button lamps support. Created layouts for both games. - Switched the 8255 port C to be used as output port. - Adjusted the coin pulse timing. - Updated technical notes. - Splitted the driver to driver + video. - Final clean-up. Fixed problem that would cause the "Return To Prior Menu" menu item to not stick if one is calling ui_menu_reset() with UI_MENU_RESET_REMEMBER_POSITION, and that menu item is selected. [Nathan Woods] Added PR-8210 support to the ldplayer. Fixed step forward command on the PR-8210. [Aaron Giles] Changed Journey and Domino Man to 4-way joysticks. [John Rieman] Added Discrete Sound for Starship 1. Still need to properly emulate the MC3340. [Derrick Renaud] Changed some decryptions in igs_blit.c to use program roms loaded byteswapped. Decrypted Mahjong Man Guan Cai Shen, Mahjong Long Hu Zheng Ba 2, Mahjong Shuang Long Qiang Zhu 2, and Mahjong Super Da Man Guan 2. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Added save state for discrete node->output to ensure that input nodes save states. [couriersud] Added a new generic latch device. Generic emulation of 74LS174/175, 74LS259 and other latches. Apart from providing synched latch operation, these latches can be configured to read their input bitwise from other devices as well and individual bits can be connected to discrete nodes. Please see audio/dkong.c for examples. [couriersud] dkong & friends: Use new latch device [couriersud] * adds new latch device where appropriate * increased accuracy since now all main/sound cpu communications are properly latched * removed quite some code as a consequence * minor cosmetic edits Updated adp memory map. [robiza] m4510 core fixes: [robiza] - banking in read and write operations - jsr and jsrx instruction - fixed TSY instruction Optimized ycc_to_rgb conversion code. [couriersud] Added readme for The Simpsons. [Guru] zn.c improvements: [smf] - Improved dip switch emulation, ram hacks to get games booting are no longer required. - Added gun emulation for judge dredd. - Fixed judge dredd ide emulation when building with visual studio. - Mapped primal rage 2 inputs - Mapped player 3 & 4 inputs for 1 on 1 government, these are now the default with the 6 button inputs only mapped for games that need them. - Converted AT28C16 to a device. - Added preliminary support for devices to load/save nvram. Added some initial logic to boot and run the PR-8210 ROM (i8049) in ldplayer.c. Currently this is disabled behind a compile-time switch. Once this is working, the plan is to incorporate this into the existing PR-8210 emulation, but we're not there yet. [Aaron Giles] Changed Trivia Quest clocks based on some really old information. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Added new function tilemap_set_pen_data_offset(). While this isn't 'free' as tilemap_set_palette_offset() is (when the offset changes, the pixmap cache needs to be invalidated), it helps removing some redundant code from drivers. Updated snk.c and snk68.c to take advantage of the new function. [Nicola Salmoria] Significant cleanup/rewrite of the MCS-48 CPU core: * renamed from i8039 to mcs48 * changed to use data address space for internal RAM * added internal memory maps for variants with internal RAM/ROM * added a number of variants from documentation * removed redundant and unused definitions from header file * renamed constants and functions to be MCS48* prefixed * re-verified all opcode behaviors and timing * changed illegal opcodes to count 1 cycle to avoid infinite loops * changed EA behavior so that it is a push from the driver instead of a pull on each opcode fetch (this may change further in the future). * reimplemented IRQ generation and timer behavior according to documentation * updated all drivers accordingly * fixed several uses of PULSE_LINE, which no longer works SH4, Naomi, and Hikaru updates [Samuele Zannoli] - Fixed SH-4 core to support multiple SH-4s - Fixed LDCSR instruction - Fixed SH-4 I/O ports - Skeleton Hikaru driver with memory maps and both SH-4s - Fixed JVS/Maple translation so Naomi 2 BIOS runs Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs for 'jcross' and 'sgladiat'. [stephh] Changed slider controls into a menu. For now, removed the old direct access mechanism; instead, you must access the sliders via the main menu. While in the menu, you can use the ~ key to turn off the menu display and leave only the bar display, in order to see more of the screen. [Aaron Giles] Namco NB 1/2 work: [Olivier Galibert] - Shares the memory with the c75. - Renames the c75 region to c7x from user4. - Implements the c75 reset/halt control. - Implements the irqs more correctly. Small optimization to memory handling for 68000 core. [Christophe Jaillet] Fixed input port confusion in the 8080bw driver. Connected AVGDVG status bits via PORT_CUSTOM. [Fabio Priuli] Updated stepper motor code to use a MAME-style config interface, rather than a load of setting functions. Changed optic functions to use clearly defined start and end points. Added standard layout for Starpoint units used in many machines. Updated all affected drivers. [James Wallace] Removed useless backslashes lurking throughout the code. [Atari Ace] Improvements to magic10.c driver: [Roberto Fresca] - Added Magic's 10 version 16.15 - Remapped all inputs to match other poker games. - Added a missing input to Magic's 10 games. New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status --------------------------------------------------- Aero Fighters Special (Tiawan) [smf] Super Football Champ [smf] Magical Date / Magical Date - dokidoki kokuhaku daisakusen [smf] Fighters' Impact [smf] Judge Dredd [smf] New clones added ---------------- Top Skater (USA) [Gerald (COY)] Ikari Warriors (US) [Corrado Tomaselli] Magic's 10 (ver. 16.15) [Roberto Fresca] s
