Source Changes
--------------
Fixed a 6502 register naming bug, and fixed a size bug in the
SC61860 disassembler. [Nathan Woods]
Added built-in overlay layout for Crash. [Mr. Do]
Added save state support to Gyruss. [Buddabing]
Fixed missing sound interfaces from the MESS sound core merge.
[Nathan Woods]
Fixed several duplicated global variable names, removed unreferenced
items from header files, and added header files for several drivers.
[Atari Ace]
Changed debug console code to use auto_malloc and to detect attempts
at registering callbacks after initialization time. [Nathan Woods]
Fixed kof2003 bootleg code to work on big-endian systems. [R. Belmont]
Centralized some common Windows utility routines in new module
winutil.c. [Nathan Woods]
Cleaned up a few drivers to use input_port_dword_*_r. [smf]
Cleaned up memory maps in the MPU4 and BFM drivers. Redesigned the
MPU4 code so that the DRIVER_INIT only needs to take an address in
the ROM for the lookup table for CHR generation to be done.
[James Wallace]
Updated built-in expat code to version 2.0. [Atari Ace]
Fixed sound samples in Indian Battle. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added state saving to mhavoc. Also fixed sparkling vectors so
slowdowns and vector list overflows can be expected. It looks much
nicer, though. [Mathis Rosenhauer]
Removed XORs from almost all CPS2 games in place of proper emulation
of the encryption. [Nicola Salmoria]
Added an assertion to prevent usage of pia_set_input_[a|b]() when
input reading callbacks are specified. [Nathan Woods]
Fixed flip screen switch and changed COIN3 to SERVICE1 in the contra.c
driver. [Canim]
Cleand up and fixed DIP switches and inputs for the nmg5 driver.
[stephh]
Rewrote Z80 interrupt handling to avoid a bad bug in the post-EI
interrupt signalling. [Aaron Giles]
Added documentation to the esd16, afega, cave, unico, vamphalf, and
yunsun16 drivers. [Brian Troha]
Changed behavior in chdman so that a 0 sector size means the default.
[Aaron Giles]
Updated several video drivers (amiga, n64, ppu2c0x, psx, stvvdp2,
tia, v9938) to use the new BITMAP_ADDR* macros instead of using the
line[] array. [Nathan Woods]
Some additional Midway 8080 B&W driver fixes: [Zsolt Vasvari]
- added PORT_CONDITION where needed
- added PORT_CONFNAME entries to the 3 baseball games and Space
Invaders
- save state support for all games
- fixed typo and a bug with the Sea Wolf lamps
Fixed a minor problem with sound clipping in the s14001a.
[Lord Nightmare]
Fixed PRNG noise in the TMS5110/5220 code and added signal wrapping
to match the patent. [Lord Nightmare]
Cleaned up usage of auto_bitmap_alloc() now that it is guaranteed not
to fail. [Aaron Giles, Atari Ace]
Added sound effects emulation to the Berzerk driver. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed font aspect ratio on non-1:1 resolutions. [Aaron Giles]
Added mechanism to cache a binary format of BDF fonts for improved
loading speed. Also added a bit of progress when loading huge BDF
fonts so that you know what's happening. [Aaron Giles]
Removed gross TMS9928a configuration in place of more standard
techniques. Updates the Cliffhanger and sg1000a drivers accordingly.
[Aaron Giles]
Added support for the custom Badlands commands to the LD-V1000
emulation. [Aaron Giles]

------------------------------------
Two Minute Drill [David Haywood]
Super Don Quix-ote [Ernesto Corvi]
[url]http://mamedev.org/[/url] 0.111u6
-------
Source Changes
--------------
Fixed the data fetch and scrolling calculation for almost all video
modes in the Amiga driver. [Ernesto Corvi]
Emulated the trench circuit in Space Encounters. [Adam Bousley]
Added win_output_debug_string_utf8(); a UTF-8 wrapper for
OutputDebugString(). Changed code to use it. [Nathan Woods]
Fixed the disassembly, operation, and cycle timing of many Thumb
instructions in the ARM7 core. [MooglyGuy]
Defined new osd core function osd_is_absolute_path(). Changed behavior
of core fileio so that absolute paths are identified and search paths
ignored in that case. [Nathan Woods]
Improved validity check for coinage order so that it prints out the
correct order if an error is detected. [Ernesto Corvi]
Fixed clocks and other details in Dream World based on new
measurements. [David Haywood, Guru]
Implemented video circuits in the Midway 8080 driver based on
schematics. Note that this affected the visible area, so overlays will
need to be adjusted. Standardized the visible area across all games.
Implemented Phantom II cloud generator. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed the contract of the tilemap_create() call so that it is
guaranteed to succeed or die trying. Cleaned up code paths that
checked the result of this operation to be simpler as a result.
[Atari Ace, Aaron Giles]
Added preliminary support for the built-in effects DSP in the SCSP,
which lots of games use for reverb, QSound, and other effects.
[ElSemi]
Removed archaic i8080_EXACT flag from the 8085 core. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Updated Midway 8080 driver to use properly computed video timings and
scanline interrupts. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed assertion in MPU4 driver. Fixed the mechanical meter operation,
enabling coin entry in Connect 4. [James Wallace]
Added mappings for break and pause keys. [Dirk Best]
Incorporated changes to MESS CPU cores to fix asserts and improve
Z80GB emulation. [Nathan Woods, Wilbert Pol]
Correctly connected sound IRQ in GX400/Nemesis driver. [R. Belmont]
Rewrote the SN76477 emulator from scratch. The main difference between
the old one and the new one is that it is based on measurements from a
real chip. Also the emulator is fully analog, meaning that
timings/frequencies, etc. are based on voltage levels. This gives a
much more true-to-life emulation where the weird behavior of the real
chip comes emulated for free. The code itself is also a lot simpler
and more understandable. [Zsolt Vasvari, Derrick Renaud]
Cleaned up stray variables from the crosshair drawing removal. Also
removed some orphaned function declarations. [Oliver Stoneberg]
Added the missing volume and frequency controls to the Berzerk driver
and s14001a core. Fixed the issue with random words being spoken
instead of the proper ones. Word is now latched at the proper time.
[Lord Nightmare]
Implemented flickering of the strobe light in Space Encounters, to be
eventually connected with artwork. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed driver_add/find/remove functions to fatalerror if they cannot
find their targets. [Aaron Giles]
Added support for screenless drivers. [Aaron Giles, Nathan Woods]
Fixed a couple of errors introduced in the OKI6295 pin shuffling.
[David Haywood]
Cleaned up DIP switches and added documentation to the Outrun driver.
[Brian Troha]
Fixed sound clock frequency in the NMG5 driver. [Brian Troha]
Fixed sound clock frequency in Night Slasher. [Sonikos]
Updated Sega System 16/18 drivers to be mono, and swapped button 1/2
to match instruction card. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Moved some of the tool sources to a new subdirectory tools.
[Aaron Giles]
Tweaked the main makefile to better support parallel builds.
[Aaron Giles]
Removed line array from mame_bitmap. Converted dozens of drivers over
to using BITMAP_ADDR macros instead. [Aaron Giles]
Changed automatic crosshairs so they are not quite so automatic.
They now need to be explicitly specified by the driver in the input
ports. Also changed the PORT_CROSSHAIR macro to take a shorter form
of the axis name. Updated all lightgun drivers to have this macro in
its default state. [Aaron Giles]
Added sliders for debugging crosshair positioning (debug build only).
[Aaron Giles]
Changed xevious to use irq0_assert_line instead of irq0_pulse_line
to prevent it from dropping interrupts. [Aaron Giles]
Changed Gorf to use HOLD_LINE instead of PULSE_LINE for scanline
interrupts. The timing is still off, but the game runs now.
[Aaron Giles]
Fixed time H/V position reporting during the first frame of execution
using the new video routines. [Aaron Giles]

Happy 10th Anniversary! Today's release marks 10 years since the
original release of 0.1. After 10 years, hundreds of developers,
thousands of games, and tens of thousands (if not more) of hours of
hard work, MAME development is still going strong. Thanks to everyone
who has supported this project over the years!
Also a big thanks goes out to everyone who has contributed. Although
I am certain there are some people left out of this list, it should
give an indication of just how many people truly care about preserving
arcade history:

-------
IMPORTANT: This release brings with it a major source code
reorganization. Because of this, there is no diff update, since the
diff would be enormous.
The new layout at a high level looks like this:
makefile
docs/
src/
emu/ (generic emulation files from the old src/ directory)
cpu/ (CPU cores from src/cpu)
sound/ (sound cores from src/sound)
debug/ (debugger code from src/debug)
audio/ (generic audio files from src/sndhrdw)
layout/ (generic layout files from src/layout)
machine/ (generic machine files from src/machine)
video/ (generic video files from src/vidhrdw)
mame/ (MAME-specific drivers)
drivers/ (drivers from src/drivers)
includes/ (includes from src/includes)
layout/ (majority of files from src/layout)
machine/ (majority of files from src/machine)
audio/ (majority of files from src/sndhrdw)
video/ (majority of files from src/vidhrdw)
etc/ (misc files from src/etc)
lib/ (libraries)
util/ (various files with light dependencies from src)
zlib/ (zlib library)
expat/ (expat library)
osd/ (OS-dependent code)
osdmini/ (mini OS-dependent code)
windows/ (Windows OS-dependent code)
tools/ (misc tools)
Along with these changes come a number of makefile alterations to
better distribute the build knowledge within each major subdirectory.
There may be some build issues or other interesting side effects to
this change. Report them on MAMETesters and future updates will
include fixes.
MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
----------------------
m4_0111u4gra [Mike Ellery]
mouser0112yel [Mamesick]
bnj0111u5ora [Canim]
Source Changes
--------------
Improvements to the Cidelsa driver: [Curt Coder]
- Fixed the disassembly of cdp1802 opcode LSKP
- Changed the cdp1802 opcode OUT to increment R(X) after calling the
write handler
- Set cdp1869 display size and visible area according to data sheet
- Added cdp1869 CFC emulation (probably never used by anything but
just for completeness' sake)
- Cleaned up driver
Improvements to the M2 driver: [Ville Linde]
- Added preliminary CD controller emulation
- Hooked up some more multi-processor functionality and interrupts
Improvements to C352 sound emulator: [cync, hoot development team]
- Rewrote loop and flag handling, added support for global key-on
register
- Fixed state saving
Worked around compilation error on MSVC that caused "Calendar error"
in the Neo Geo games. [Atari Ace]
Rewrote much of the RF5C400 sound emulator to support looping, stereo
panning, and 8-bit sample support.
[hoot development team, Ville Linde]
Removed patch from mjleague now that it is not needed.
[Arenzo Fabrice]
Fixed bubbletr crosshairs. [Canim]
Cleaned up information in mamedriv.c. [Brian Troha]
Added save state support for all games in gng.c, gunsmoke.c, lasso.c,
solomon.c and terracre.c. [Vas Crabb]
Replaced implementation of Namco 54xx sound chip with new MB8844 CPU
core running the original embedded ROM code. Removed old sound core.
Pole Position and Bosconian no longer require samples as a result.
[Nicola Salmora, Ernesto Corvi, Guru]
Added new function driver_get_count() to return the number of drivers.
[Nathan Woods]
Added a bunch of new protection routines for SD Gundam & Heated
Barrel. [Angelo Salese]
Input system changes: [Derrick Renaud]
- Added new IPT_POSITIONAL control type. This is for Ikari type
rotary controls and gray-code devices like Seawolf. This makes
rotary and gray-code controls easy to enter without custom
handlers.
- Fixed some rounding and min/max errors in the core input code.
- Modified crosshair code to be based on real scaling, see Seawolf
for an example. It can now also have multiple crosshairs on one
input port if needed.
- Added back in the namcos2 crosshairs. Turns out they are needed
for calibration.
- Removed the gwar control hack from the Ikari games that did not
need it. Modified the gwar control hack so it is only used for 1
frame, making it unnoticeable.
- Updated boothill, gunfight, seawolf, spcenctr to use the new
PORT_REMAP_TABLE.
Fixed the exidy/stern-sb1000 6840-based sound hardware to use what
is believed (based on the schematic) to be the proper LFSR/PRNG
waveform for its secondary clock source. [Lord Nightmare]
Updated Dragon Bowl to use HOLD_LINE for sound IRQs. Also did the same
for the following drivers: afega, ettrivia, funybubl, jack, mustache,
seta, trvmadns, wink. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Changed 6809/6309 CPU cores to call the MAME debugger when CWAI/SYNC
is used. [Nathan Woods]
Fixed uninitialized use of video_dma_address to address the rfjet
crash in 64-bit builds. [Ville Linde]
Added support for the Motorola MPC8240 to the PowerPC core.
[Ville Linde]
Improved ZIP file searching to look first for name + CRC match, second
for CRC-only match, and lastly for name-only match. [Ben Rudiak-Gould]
Verified and improved stepper behavior based on comparison with a
real machine. [James Wallace]
Changed file2str to work for any binary file and output the data as
an array of bytes rather than a string. [Aaron Giles]
Made UI font size computations more flexible. This ensures that fonts
are scaled vertically by an integral factor and should produce nice
proportions for most fonts now. [Aaron Giles]
Added new function sound_find_sndnum_by_tag() to look up a sound
index by its tag. [Aaron Giles]
Made osd_uchar_from_osdchar a member of the osdcore file library.
[Aaron Giles]
Created new generic bitmap management code with fewer dependencies on
the rest of MAME so that it can be used by utility code. Changed
bitmap_alloc to always take a format parameter. Deprecated
bitmap_alloc_format. Updated all drivers to pass an explicit format
when allocating a bitmap. Changed auto_bitmap_alloc in the same
fashion. [Aaron Giles]
Split some functionality from fileio.c into new module corefile.c,
which can be used by utilities to get unicode support and fopen-style
file I/O built on top of the OSD routines. Rebuilt fileio.c on top of
the core file code. Added mame_core_file() to get the underlying
core_file object from a mame_file so it can be used with png and
xmlfile code. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the way the tiny build works. There is now the concept of a
SUBTARGET. By default SUBTARGET is set equal to TARGET (which is mame)
and everything builds as normal. The makefile that is included is now
src/$(TARGET)/$(SUBTARGET).mak. Thus, to do a tiny build, you now
have to specify "make SUBTARGET=tiny". This will produce an output
executable with a name $(TARGET)$(SUBTARGET) (mametiny in this case).

Source Changes
--------------
Improved the cidelsa driver: [Curt Coder]
- rewrote the cdp1802 cpu emulation as a state machine
- fixed Draco dips and inputs (what a strange game!)
- added NVRAM to Destroyer/Draco (Altair has no battery on the PCB)
- fixed some clocks
Fixed mapping of spaceship controls in spcenctr. [Canim]
Removed the inclusion of unnecessary header files across the project.
[Atari Ace]
Added discrete filters to the new Namco 54xx sound effects. Also
implemented filters for the 52xx sound effects in preparation for
future changes. [Derrick Renaud]
Added pause support to the output system: [Bob Seidel]
- added "pause" message through the Output system to let clients
know when MAME is paused
- the state of an item is now sent when the item is first created
- updated ledutil to use the pause state
Added cocktail mode and DIP locations to the Millipede driver.
[Mike Haaland]
Many more CPS2 keys added. Removed all XORs and support for them from
MAME. [Nicola Salmoria, Andreas Naive]
Fixed regression in the ar_xeon driver sprites. [Ernesto Corvi]
Kaneko driver improvements:
- bloodwar: [Gary Walkling, Sebastien Volpe]
* protection data extracted, still needs to be verified
* collision detection simulation thanks to tests on real board
- bonkadv: [Guru, Sebastien Volpe]
* protection data fully verified: corrects tilemap colors in levels 2 and 3
* correct implementation of MCU command 43
Fixed behavior of MOVEC instruction on later 680x0 chips, and in the
disassembler. [Ernesto Corvi]
Properly idenitified sound ROMs for Altered Beast set 2. [Brian Troha]
Fixed bad bits in a couple of FD1094 keys. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed bug in debugger that caused incorrect end offsets to be
computed on CPUs with an address shift. [Ville Linde]
Moved some additional pieces of core functionality in the the core
utility library. [Nathan Woods]
Added sound to porky. [Tomasz Slanina]
Changed font scaling again. Fonts 24 pixels tall and above are scaled
the old way. Fonts smaller than that are scaled via integral scale
factors and adjusted the new way. [Aaron Giles]
Added a small optimization to the FD1094 decoding step. [Aaron Giles]
Added several new modules to the utility library libutil. First is a
generic huffman encoding module. Second is a module that allows you to
read/write AVI files in a platform-independent way. And third is a
lossless A/V compression module. These three pieces together, plus
some changes in the CHD code, allow for the creation of CHDs with
compressed audio and video. [Aaron Giles]
Added two new commands to chdman: -createav converts an AVI file in
uncompressed YUY format or HuffYUV-compressed YUY format with "left"
prediction into a CHD. And -extractav converts a CHD containing
compressed audio & video into an uncompressed YUY format AVI file.
[Aaron Giles]
Finished hooking up laserdisc support to the new audio/video
compression. Note that we still do not have canonical CHDs of
laserdisc data at the moment, but all the support is now present for
when they start to appear. [Aaron Giles]

--------------
Modified ledutil to save the LED state when returning from pause.
[Bob Seidel]
Fixed the crashing in debug builds and added controls for Ski Champ.
[Ville Linde]
Updated makefile to remove the map file when making clean. [Dirk Best]
Significant changes to the input system: [Derrick Renaud]
* Added the -vol shortcut to -volume to match the docs.
* Added new joystick options -joy_deadzone & -joy_saturation.
Removed -a2d_deadzone. These now apply to the analog and
digital-from-analog data. See windows.txt for more info.
* Analog joystick data is divided into chunks for IPT_POSITIONAL
controls. e.g., for a 7 position emulated control, a joystick
axis will move 3 positions each way from center + center =
7 positions. One good use for this is 49way sticks. The driver
input code just needs to be set to IPT_POSITIONAL
PORT_POSITIONS(7) and use a PORT_REMAP_TABLE.
* IPT_PEDAL controls are now nothing special in the core. They can
use any control like a paddle does. At the OS input level, the
code has been changed to supply full joystick axis and the +/-
axis. This means any half axis or full axis can be used for any
emulated control. e.g., a pedal that only outputs Y- data can be
used for the full range of the gun in boothill. Or a full axis
slider on a joystick can be used in its full range as an emulated
pedal. INC now increases the pedal value, not DEC.
* When seting up the player controls in the menu, the first time an
analog joystick axis is selected it will use the full range. If
you immediately select the same joystick axis it will toggle to
the half +/- axis.
* Analog joysticks can now simulate relative devices such as a
trackball. The further you move the joystick, the faster the
trackball spins. Use the sensitivity setting to adjust.
* Added support for mouse +/- axis to be used as button input.
* Modified IPT_PADDLE and IPT_AD_STICK so they do not behave as
pedals using half the joystick range if their default value is
equal to one of the PORT_MINMAX values. Now you can select it as
the full or +/- part axis.
Updates to the acefruit driver: [stephh]
* added 'sidewndr' and 'spellbnd' (was 'sidewnda') which were missing
in previous releases
* reorganised the layout to have all lamps and solenoids at the top
(where there's nothing)
* also renamed some lamps and solenoids
* added 'starspnr' ... unfortunately, the game is not working due
to a bad dump (H11)
Updated the DISCRETE_OP_AMP_OSCILLATOR circuit to get it ready for a
future driver. It allows the DISC_OP_AMP_OSCILLATOR_1 |
DISC_OP_AMP_IS_NORTON oscillator to use nodes to adjust the
resistance values instead of only being static values.
[Derrick Renaud]
Fixed thrust control in Lunar Lander. [Derrick Renaud]
Created new utility module pool.c for managing memory pools. Rebuilt
auto_malloc on top of this concept. [Nathan Woods]
Added speedups to many of the Eolith games. [David Haywood]
Added sprite rotation to the realbrk driver. This fixes the jigging
reels in the pachinko games and the cue position and orientation in
the pool games.
Added discrete sound for Amazing Maze. Also added new Discrete
modules: DISCRETE_LOOKUP_TABLE & DISCRETE_LOGIC_JKFLIPFLOP.
[Derrick Renaud]
Fixed the small graphic issues in the Cidelsa driver. Draco still has
imperfect colors. [Curt Coder]
Fixed naming and identification of several Neo Geo ROMs. [JohnBoy]
Fixed regression in the GeeBee driver. [David Haywood]
Major update to the Konami System 573 driver: [smf]
* added state saving to emu\sound\cdda.c & mame\drivers\ksys573.c
* added DS2401 emulation
* added X76F100 emulation
* added ZS01 emulation (HLE of System 573 PIC)
* added write support to X76F041 emulation
* many new games partially supported
Connected brightness support on the CPS1 board (not just CPS2) after
verifying that the real board does support it. [MAME Italia forum]
Improved the K001604 tilemap chip emulation. [Ville Linde]
Fixed garbage in fonts on some systems. [Aaron Giles]
Added new tool makemeta.exe, which can generate properly formatted
metadata for laserdisc CHDs using either a specially captured AVI as
input (preferred) or a hand-crafted set of encoded Philips codes.
[Aaron Giles]
Rewrote throttling code to be more forgiving of OSD-level glitches
and uneven frame rates. [Aaron Giles]
Changed sound streaming engine to be emulated time based instead of
sample based. This means that emulation behavior is independent of
the user-specified sample rate (except that some sound cores still
use this value; to fixed in a future update). Also separated sound
generation from video frame rate. Sound is now pushed to the OSD
layer at a fixed rate of 50 updates per emulated second. This entailed
a change in the way sound is handed to the OSD layer. Instead of the
OSD layer requesting arbitrary numbers of samples each frame, the
core now pushes the appropriate number of samples based on the
emulated time. [Aaron Giles]
Simplified the OSD interface for sound. Removed osd_start_audio_stream
and osd_stop_audio_stream; OSD initialization code is now responsible
for initialization. Removed osd_get_mastervolume and osd_sound_enable,
keeping management of the main volume in emu/sound.c. [Aaron Giles]
Changed K054539 to run at native sample rate. [Aaron Giles]

--------------
Discrete sound for Checkmate: [Derrick Renaud]
* new DISCRETE_ADJUSTMENT_TAG module that uses tags instead of port
numbers. Updated all games to use it, because it is now the
preferred method.
* added PORT_CROSSHAIRs to triplhnt.
Minor Konami 573 system update: [smf]
* marks two games as working which were incorrectly tagged
* adds the correct hashes for 845jab02
* added NO_DUMP's for all the flash roms
Fixed a number of issues related to the new streaming engine and
sound code: [Aaron Giles]
* fixed crash when restoring from a save state
* fixed crash when running with -nosound
* fixed loud looping when halted in the debugger
* fixed crash when changing sample rates (YM2203 mainly)
* fixed crash in k054539 sound core
Added SN76477 noise RNG polynomial. [Zsolt Vasvari, Derrick Renaud,
Jarek Burczynski]
Midway 8080 driver updates: [Zsolt Vasvari]
* fixed bug where mw8080bw games would freeze after state load.
* corrected DIP SW order in M-4
* converted Dog Patch to PORT_POSITIONAL
RF5C400 sound core improvements: [hoot development team]
* implemented volume envelopes
* ccorrected the channel volume calculation
* documented registers for reverb, chorus, and per-channel digital
filter (actual effects are not implemented yet)
Fixeed most Dip Switches and Inputs in the galspnbl driver.
[stephh, Justin Szczap]
Updated a number of drivers to use the new PORT_DIPUNUSED macros.
[stephh]
Improvements to the memory pool routines: [Nathan Woods]
- added a pool_clear() call, to clear out a memory pool without
freeing the pool itself
- added support for pool_realloc() with a size of zero, which
effectively frees a pointer within a pool
- added testing code to validate pool behavior
Added support for more flexible word wrapping with CJK characters.
Also added wrapping on hyphens. [MAME Plus! team, Aaron Giles]
Added T5182 support, which gives sound to darkmist, mustache and
panicr. Also changed the YM2151 to prevent timer problems, and added
the missing flip X in Mustache Boy. [Nicola Salmora, Lord Nightmare,
Ernesto Corvi]
More input fixes and improvements: [Derrick Renaud]
* fixed some obscure masking, shifting, overflow, and signed
problems in the input system. Most noticeably this fixes the
analog controls in sfootbal and stops the pedal in redlin2p from
rotating through gas/no gas as the pedal is pressed.
* analog ports no longer save and load their default value from the
config file. It should only ever use the value specified in the
driver, and storing it can cause problems the more the game is
restarted and the value starts to change.
* added a bunch of validity tests to the analog ports. Some are
commented out until the problems they uncovered are fixed.
* analog ports now defalt to a PORT_MINMAX of (0,mask). This means
you no longer have to specify PORT_MINMAX if you are not using
any limits. Removed a bunch of no longer needed PORT_MINMAX
entries.
Bitmaps are now cleared to 0 by default. This fixes a number of random
crashes in games. [Aaron Giles]
Modified the raster position calculations to round to the nearest
pixel which produces more consistent results. [Aaron Giles]
Changed most sound cores to generate audio at their internal clock
rates (or some multiple/divisor of them) rather than at the user
specified output rate. This completes the second step of decoupling
audio emulation from the user's sample rate choice. [Aaron Giles]
Removed a big pile of goofiness from the DMA-driven DAC driver now
that it is no longer necessary. [Aaron Giles]
Removed custom sound code from cchasm and replaced it with a simple
DAC implementation. [Aaron Giles]
Cleaned up attckufo driver, making it perform like a 1MHz 6502 game
once again. [Aaron Giles]

including the following: [Derrick Renaud]
* demndrgn - changed to proper IPT_AD_STICK controls.
* konamigt, hcrash, rf2 - set to proper PADDLE control and fixed mask.
* overdriv - changed to proper PADDLE control.
* sspeedr - changed to IPT_POSITIONAL with PORT_REMAP_TABLE controls
for gas and steering fixing both.
* midvunit.c - changed games so the brake pedal shows on player1
* simpbowl - fixed port mask, now trackball works proper without
glitching
* ssrj - fixed gas pedal
* namcos2 - fixed inputs on all games (may need to delete nv files)
Added diplocations to the driver segas16a, segas16b, segas18, megaplay,
news, ninjadks2 and nemesis drivers. In segas16b, added in SDI

[hoot development team]
Split the sprint4 and ultratnk drivers again. Brought the Sprint 4
driver up to date. [Stefan Jokisch]
Added save state support to Combatribes and Jail Break. [Kevin Eshbach]
Added preliminary sound to Destroyer and Altair. White noise is
missing, and Draco is still silent. [Curt Coder]
Added tools to generate regression tests and mamedev.org-compatible
reports. The report generator is cross-platform, but the test running
code is Windows-only at the moment. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed regression in Nintendo games that did not specify a clock for
the NES APU. [Aaron Giles]
Rewrote the BSMT2000 to be more accurate. Various modes are now
software selected at startup based on the register value at reset
time. Changed all existing drivers so they properly hooked up the
reset line on the chip in order to make this control work. Also added
correct BSMT2000 ADPCM output. [Aaron Giles]
Defined several new exit codes for "unknown game" and "invalid config"
and changed the Windows OSD layer to output them. [Aaron Giles]
Removed obsolete joystick calibration junk from the osdepend layer.
If anyone needs this functionality, I will look into providing a way
for the OSD code to add menus in the UI. [Aaron Giles]

Moved throttling, frameskipping, fast forwarding, and timing into the
core. Removed the equivalent code from the Windows OSD layer. This
now relies on options being set for controlling these features by the
OSD layer via options.c. Deprecated the old osd_get_fps_text()
function. Changed osd_update() to take a parameter indicating whether
or not the frame was skipped. Added new function osd_sleep() to the
OSD core timing library. [Aaron Giles]
Added a new mechanism for building in fonts. A new tool, png2bdc can
convert a specially formatted PNG file into a binary cached MAME font.
This cached font can be embedded into MAME. A new default small UI
font is now included, and built via this process to replace the old
hard-coded one. The new font is proportional, so there is better use
of limited screen real estate in small video modes. Some balancing/
tweaking of the actual font still needs to be done, and some basic
functionality still needs to be added to png2bdc. Consider this a
work-in-progress. [Aaron Giles]

Many options in the system are now defined by the core and looked up
using the options_* functions. This should allow a bunch of code to
be removed from most OSD ports. In addition the mame_file_error type
has been renamed to file_error, so a little search & replace action
is necessary.

Created a utility call win_is_gui_application() to determine if the
current process is a console or a non-console application. Added a
call to direct error output to message boxes if MAME is running as a

Updated Starfire driver to use video timing from schematics.
[Zsolt Vasvari]
Some more 8080bw fixes: [Zsolt Vasvari]
- fixed Lupin III crash due to invalid sample.
- added video timing from mw8080bw. This caused the visible areas of
most games to change, so they will fail regression.
- Shuttle Invaders display is shifted off screen now ?but the PCB
notes confirm that it旧 a different hardware, so it will need its
own driver anyhow.
- created a new file for MB14241, which is the shifter IC used by
Invaders hardware games.
Renamed mame_file_error to file_error, since it is used throughout
the code including the utilities. [Aaron Giles]
Added stronger priority boosting when sleeping on Windows in the hopes
of getting more consistent frame rates. [Aaron Giles]
Added remaining Unicode characters up to 0100h in the built-in font.
[Aaron Giles]
Added a 'flags' parameter to osd_work_item_queue() and defined one
new flag: WORK_ITEM_FLAG_AUTO_RELEASE, which means that the work item
should be automatically released when completed. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the Windows OSD work code to only allocate events for items
when necessary, in order to conserve system resources. [Aaron Giles]
Changed refresh and VBLANK timing parameters throughout the system to
be specified in subseconds_t instead of as floating point frequencies.

Changed gaelco3d driver to use osd_work_items for rendering, allowing
multi-CPU systems to shift most of the rendering burden to a second
CPU. [Aaron Giles]

Cleaned up the Food Fight driver, giving it complete memory maps,
finished implementing sprite/playfield priorities, and corrected
timing - sort of. [Aaron Giles]
Cleaned up initialization paths in mame.c. Tried to organize things
a bit more logically. Removed a number of return codes in favor of
more descriptive fatalerror messages. [Aaron Giles]
Changed throttling behavior to only throttle on non-skipped frames.
This should give a little better performance on games where
frameskipping is necessary. [Aaron Giles]
Added srcclean tool to the tools directory. This is the tool that is
run over the source before each release to do some minor code tidying.
[Aaron Giles]
Added new driver flag VIDEO_SELF_RENDER which indicates that the
driver will talk to the renderer on its own in its VIDEO_UPDATE
callback. Added the flag to all the laserdisc game drivers. Changed
the logic in the core video to only empty screen containers when
doing the final render, rather than emptying them at the start of
each frame. [Aaron Giles]
Changed pause behavior so that on non-debug builds, we simply keep
the most recent list of primitives and re-render that. Debug builds
keep the current default behavior which is to run the VIDEO_UPDATE
code each frame even while paused in order to help identify issues
in the emulation. [Aaron Giles]

--------------
Added proper MC8123 decryption code. Hooked up a number of games that
were using the chip, making many of them playable. [Nicola Salmoria]
Fixed several SHARC opcodes where data transfer was done regardless
of the condition. This fixes many things, like the upside-down
geometry in Model 2B games. And also, probably all the remaining
clipping issues in Gradius 4. At least the planet zooming out in the

--------------
Improved the K001604 ROZ layer emulation. [Ville Linde]
Added the timing parameters for the Exidy 6502 driver from the
schematics, and updated a number of other drivers to use the newer
timing routines. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Exidy 440 driver update: [Zsolt Vasvari]
* added video timing from schematics
* added the 9 timing PROMs to the ROMsets
* all the games appear to use the same timing PROMs with the
exception of Top Secret, which sets the VBLANK 4 pixels earlier.
This fixes the game graphics, but cuts of the very bottom row of
the year display on the title screen. It's most likely a real
issue in the game, as tweaking the behavior adds garbage pixels
to all the other games
Updated the itech32 driver to configure video timing dynamically
according to how the chip is programmed. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Hooked up the new TGP core to the Model 2 driver, mapped the TGP
data ROMs properly, and updated the TGP core to the latest information.
[Ville Linde, Ernesto Corvi, ElSemi]
Fixed irobot crash introduced in last timing update. [Zsolt Vasvari]
ES5503 updates: [R. Belmont]
- Major fixes to IRQ semantics and end-of-sample handling
- Sample memory now configurable
- Added state save support
- Calculates output rate properly based on the input clock
- Hooked up properly to mquake
Added analog controls for GTI Club. [Ville Linde]
Fixed crashes in some games using the SCSP. [R. Belmont]
Now enabling all CPUs by default, which helps ensure that even unused
CPUs get updated with core changes, etc. [David Haywood]
Optimized the options code and memory pool code to use hashes for
faster searching. [Nathan Woods]
Cleaned up and more heavily documented the tumbleb driver.
[Brian Troha]
G65816/M37710 CPU core updates: [R. Belmont]
- Fixed a race condition in the WAI instruction where the CPU could
get stuck. (MESS bug #661, may have caused intermittent issues
with Namco games in MAME too).
- Fixed block transfer instructions when the accumulator is in short
mode. (Fixes some SNES games not booting, notably Final Fantasy
Mystic Quest).
Corrected dip and added dip locations to Pettan Pyuu / Banbam, the
markham driver, and Calorie Kun vs Moguranian.
[Brian Troha]
Updated the Leland driver to the new video timing routines, as well
as the remaining drivers. Removed now-obsolete old timing routines
from cpuexec. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added more recently discovered opcodes to the MB86233 core and
disassembler. [Ernesto Corvi, ElSemi]
Created WINOPTIONS_* constants for Windows OSD options. [Nathan Woods]
Updated the World Cup 90 DIP switches corrected from manual. Also
added diplocations. [Roberto Fresca]
Changed CDP1869 to use proper write handlers for MESS. [Curt Coder]
Added v60_stall mechanism to allow for synchronization between the
V60 core and an external CPU. [Ernesto Corvi]
Changed behavior of extra one-pixel border on Direct3D textures so
that the edge pixel is smeared into the border rather than leaving
the border black. This should eliminate a few oddities at the edges
of texture rendering. [Aaron Giles]
Updated video code to double buffer texture objects to reduce
contention of render primitive lists. Also changed rendering code to
explicitly alternate between primitive lists to prevent throwing away
old lists prematurely. [Aaron Giles]

Updated video timing in the Sega System 16, Hang On, Out Run, and
X-Board games according to measurements from the boards. [Aaron Giles]
Substantially changed the TMS340x0 interfaces to allow the CPU
emulator to directly manage the video screen. Glitches in several

- Fixed a rom loading issue in Silent Scope
- Added ADC1213x A/D converter emulation (machine/adc1213x)
- Hooked up analog controls in NWK-TR games
MPU4 improvements: [James Wallace]
- Added NMI pulsing so Deal 'Em at least starts to boot.
- Decommissioned machine/mpu4.c, as the 6850acia code from Phil
does the same job, making one less thing to maintain.
Moved frontend commands and command-line handling into a central,
core-managed location clifront.c. This eliminates the need for
windows/fronthlp.c and windows/config.c and should make creating
command-line based ports much easier in the future. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed many of the remaining polygon glitches in GTI Club / Solar
Assault / Operation Thunder Hurricane. [Ville Linde]
Added save state support to the pkscram driver. [couriersud]
Removed all the timing kludges from machine/konppc.c. GTI Club is
kind of playable now. You can finish a lap or two, but eventually it
will hang on network error. [Ville Linde]
Fixed the SUBTARGET=tiny build and removed some duplicate entries in
mame.mak. [Atari Ace]
Added full discrete emulation of Space Invaders. I think people are
going to be too used to the current samples and their relative
levels. The new relative levels are determined by the mixing
resistors. There are all different versions of the sound board, that
all have slightly different sounds/components. This should be the
proper Midway sounds. [Derrick Renaud]
Updated stvcd to be working enough that most Saturn games at least
die for some other reason, and a few actually do useful things.
Also included a small update to the core cdrom code so you can fetch
a sector without knowing in advance what format it is. [R. Belmont]
Added a concept of a "crosshair screen mask" internal to video.c and
created a static call to retrieve the mask. [Nathan Woods]
Converted Roller Aces to stereo sound like the real hardware. Fixed
the clocks and NMI rates to match the PCB. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Added save state support to the Midway Y, T, X and Wolf Unit games.
[Aaron Giles]
Added preliminary 64-bit disassembly support to i386dasm.c.

Added support for aliasing sound types. This allows minor variants in
sound cores to share the same fundamental "type" so that the same
sndti_* functions can be used regardless of the subtype. [Aaron Giles]
Changed location of save state files. Now they are placed in the
<savestate>/<gamename> directory. Auto-generated save state files have

Removed set_vh_global_attribute() and
get_vh_global_attribute_changed() from the dozen or so drivers that
used it. In the process, made an effort to clean up the video system
for these games. The biggest improvements are route16, hyhoo,
tutankhm and liberatr. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added a cpu core for a cpu nicknamed minx. This cpu core is used to
emulate the cpu in the nintendo pokemon mini handheld console.
[Wilbert Pol]
Fixed and documented clocks in Omega Race. [Tafoid]
Improved accuracy of 6502 CPU cores to implement the read/write that
happens on every cycle. Moved the "undocumented" instructions from
the 6510 cores into the main 6502 core, since there were several
other versions of the 6502 cores which have the same undocumented
instructions. Removed some of the #define override magic that was
going on to make the code easier to read and understand. Updated the
6510 core port_read and port_write functions to include the ddr
register in the parameters. [Wilbert Pol]
Updated the MIPS3 DRC to align the stack to sixteen-byte boundaries
at the point of calls, as required by Mac OS X calling conventions.
It doesn't break compatibility with Windows or Linux calling
conventions. This fixes crashes in MIPS3 games when running on OS X
for Intel. [Vas Crabb]
Moved the -verbose option into the core. Added new function
mame_printf_verbose() which is governed by this option. Changed all
existing verbose output to use the new functions. [Aaron Giles]
Changed cpu_boost_interleave(), cpu_spinuntil_time(), and
cpu_yielduntil_time() to take mame_time parameters instead of
doubles. [Aaron Giles]
Changed MDRV_CPU_PERIODIC_INT() to take a frequency parameter instead
of a time. This is converted internally to a subseconds value.

- Cleaned up memory banking code to use memory_set_bank() instead
of memory_set_bank_ptr()
- Fixed LEDs
Improvements to the toaplan2 driver: [Alex Jackson]
- Replaced byteswapped truxton2 M68K program ROM with correct one
- Fixed sound CPU communications in the Raizing games. This is
educated guesswork, but it's more complete and probably more
correct than what was there before, and doesn't rely on excessive
use of cpu_yield()
- Added more information about the Raizing sets to the comments in
the driver, and corrected some errors
- Reorganized the Battle Garegga sets in a more sensible fashion
Reworked input system to push more features into the core. Cleaned
up architecture to properly separate dependencies. Please note that
this change only addresses the lower layer of input handling. The
upper layer (i.e., input port handling at the driver layer) remains
the same. [Aaron Giles]
Major changes include:
* Removed the concept of os_code from the system. Now all codes
are defined via a set of macros in input.h. Each code is a 32-bit
value that encodes a device class, device index, item class,
item modifier, and item ID.
* Removed OSD functions osd_get_code_list() and osd_get_code_value().
Instead, the OSD layer during osd_init() must register one or more
devices and the input items attached to each device via two new
functions input_device_add() and input_device_item_add().
* Separated input sequence code into new module inputseq.c.
* Moved support for the following options into the core: -mouse,
-joystick, -lightgun, -steadykey, -offscreen_reload, -joy_deadzone,
-joy_saturation, -paddle_device, -adstick_device, -pedal_device,
-dial_device, -trackball_device, -lightgun_device,
-positional_device, -mouse_device. The OSD layer should simply
register all devices at osd_init() time and allow the core to
enable/disable them according to the options.
* Added two new options: -multikeyboard and -multimouse. By default,
both options are OFF. When OFF, the core will combine all keyboard
or mouse input into a single keyboard or mouse device. When ON,
these options instruct the core to keep inputs for each keyboard
and/or mouse independent.
* Added new option: -joystick_map. This option allows for a 9x9 grid
to be specified which controls analog-to-digital mapping of
joystick inputs.
* Changed the Windows implementation of input handling to fully
support the raw input interfaces for keyboard and mouse.
DirectInput is still used for all joystick inputs, as well as for
keyboard and mouse inputs on pre-Windows XP systems. This allows
for multiple keyboards and mice to be supported. Also changed
keyboard and mouse behavior to use non-exclusive mode in
DirectInput, and to keep the devices alive during pause for more
consistent input handling.
* Broke windows.txt into config.txt, which contains all common
core-supported options and commmands, and windows.txt, which now
only lists Windows-specific additions.
Added support for frame update callbacks, similar to pause and exit
callbacks but called at the same time as osd_update(). [Aaron Giles]
Changed osd_init() to no longer return a value. OSD initialization
should now rely on fatalerror() to report fatal initialization
problems. [Aaron Giles]
Added new function mame_schedule_new_driver() which allows for a new
driver to be queued after a hard reset. [Aaron Giles]
Added experimental new minimal game selection user interface. This
interface can be accessed if MAME is started with no parameters, or
via the main menu by choosing "Select a New Game". This interface
allows you to select a game driver by typing in the name of the game.
As you type, MAME's fuzzy name matching code will list the top 15
selections that match. The interface will only display games that
it finds in your rompath. [Aaron Giles]
Added "empty" driver which is used to host the game selection screen
when no valid game is selected. [Aaron Giles]
Changed behavior in the Windows build so that double-clicking on
MAME brings up the new game selection interface. [Aaron Giles]
Removed the NOT_A_DRIVER flag which was overloaded to mean two
different things. There are now two new flags: GAME_IS_BIOS_ROOT
indicates that a particular driver represents a BIOS rather than
a full game. And GAME_NO_STANDALONE indicates that the given driver
should not be listed or permitted to execute on its own. For MAME,
most BIOSes are executable on their own, so they have the
GAME_IS_BIOS_ROOT flag set but not the GAME_NO_STANDALONE flag.
[Aaron Giles]
Added new routines mame_openpath(), mame_readpath(), and
mame_closepath() for iterating over all files in a path specification,
including support for multiple paths. [Aaron Giles]
Changed audit interfaces to take a game_driver * instead of a game
index. [Aaron Giles]
Changed driver_get_approx_matches() and driver_get_count() APIs to
work on arbitrary driver lists rather than being hard-coded to the
static driver list. Renamed the functions from driver_get_* to
driver_list_get_* [Aaron Giles]

More TIA improvements: [Wilbert Pol]
- fixed some minor missile graphics positioning issues
- moved some initialization code from tia_init to tia_reset
Fixed a few errors related to headers in the source code. Added
missing self-includes, removed dead prototypes, and added location
comments in headers in mame/includes. In a few cases the audit
showed items that didn't need to be exported so they were made
static. [Atari Ace]
Cleaned up the inputs in gdrawpkr and changed the hold buttons to
"discard" since they are in fact discard buttons. [Roberto Fresca]
Added support for 14- and 16-segment LED displays to the MAME
artwork system. [Dirk Best]

Updated the 6532 riot interface to be more like the 6522via and
6821pia interfaces. [Wilbert Pol]
Improved -listxml output to reflect new BIOS flag. New attribute
isbios="yes" indicates that a given game is a BIOS. [Aaron Giles]
Further tweaks to the game selection UI: [Aaron Giles]
- disabled the tab key
- added hook for general input configuration from the menu
- split set names from friendly names into left/right columns
- added a background to the descriptive names of clones
- if you start with the game selection menu, hitting Esc to exit
a game brings you back to the menu rather than quitting
immediately
- fixed logic so that INI files are reloaded for each game
Moved INI file handling fully into the core. As a side-effect of this
change, <exename>.ini is no longer parsed. Changed -createconfig to
always output mame.ini instead of <exename>.ini as a result.
[Aaron Giles]
Renamed run_game() to mame_execute(). The game driver is no longer
specified as a parameter; rather, this information is extracted from
the options via OPTION_GAMENAME. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed raw input-based lightgun buttons. [Aaron Giles]
Cleaned up options.c code. Added priority levels to options as they
are set. New options are only accepted if they have greater or equal
priority to a previous change. Added new function options_revert() to
revert options below a given priority to their defaults. Changed
options_get_string() so that it always returns a valid string
(never NULL). Invalid strings are returned as empty strings.
[Aaron Giles]
Added new functions core_filename_extract_base() and
core_filename_ends_with() to corefile.h. [Aaron Giles]
Changed menu rendering a bit. Added a background hilight to more
strongly emphasize the current item. Added rendered arrows to indicate
more items on the top/bottom and to indicate selection options in the
DIP switch menus. Changed hilighting to be a bit less garish. Fixed
repeat rates on keys to no longer be tied to the framerate.
[Aaron Giles]
Added support for page up/page down generically in menus. Also made
pause toggle work while menus are visible. [Aaron Giles]
Changed render_textures to allocate in a pool model, to avoid high
memory overhead when allocating large numbers of textures (for example
in the 14- and 16-segment LED displays). [Aaron Giles]
Fixed a number of 64-bit compiler warnings. [Aaron Giles]

Removed underscores from some keycode token names. Thus,
KEYCODE_0_PAD now becomes KEYCODE_0PAD. This is to prevent confusion
when parsing multiple keyboard items. Due to this change, also removed
imperfect backward compatibility with older configs; some mappings
will still work, but some won't. Note that this change will also
break some existing ctrlr files; new ones will be provided.

Significantly revamped the tilemap rendering code. There are now only
two tilemap types, based on whether or not you want transparency
based on pen or color. All existing tilemap effects are built on top
of these two modes. The internal tilemap handling code has been
reorganized and simplified in a number of cases. For most games, this
change is transparent (har har), apart from the change in tilemap
type values. Several concepts within the tilemap system now have
different terminology for clarity and to remove some ambiguous naming
('priority', for example, was overloaded). A small tutorial and better
documentation is now present at the top of tilemap.h and provides
more details of the changes. [Aaron Giles]

Further improvements to the TMS5220 emulation and more unification

Changed INI parsing to look for source file INIs in <inipath>/source
first. This is to disambiguate INIs where the game name matches the
source filename. If the INI file is not found in <inipath>/source,
then it is looked for in the <inipath> as before. [Aaron Giles]
Merged Raiden memory maps. Cleaned up the COP emulation code in
Raiden 2. [Aaron Giles]
Added new experimental control for overall emulation speed. This
lets you specify how fast/slow the gameplay should happen relative to
the original. -speed 1.0 means run at normal speed. -speed 2.0 means
run at 2x speed. -speed 0.5 means run at half speed. Note that the
sound pitch is shifted as a result. If you are running early Namco
games that normally run at 60.60Hz, you can run them at -speed 0.99
and it should run at under 60Hz, which should prevent sound stuttering
if your monitor is not capable of greater than 60Hz refresh rates.
If this turns out to be useful, future versions may support a
-speed refresh parameter that automatically tweaks the speed to keep
you under your monitor's refresh rate. [Aaron Giles]

- Modified the amiga_interface structure to add a nmi callback and
a flags variable.
- Added AGA chipmem mask definition
- Added 32 bit data bus support to chipram. It's automatically used
if the chipset is AGA.
- Added clock chip constants in machine/amiga.h for 68k PAL and NTSC,
and 68EC00 NTSC. Updates drivers to use those constants.
- Added convenience macros to determine wether we're running with an
ECS chipset, AGA chipset, or 'ECS or AGA chipset'.
- Changed autoconfig reads to return 0x0000 instead of 0xffff.
- Fixed MSB value timer reads on the 8520 cia. We were previously only
updating the count for the timer when the LSB value was read.
- Added basic Akiko emulation to the cubocd32 driver. Both the Chunky
to Planar converter, and the I2C NVRAM should be fully implemented,
however, the CDROM functionality is not complete. It's only enough
to make the kickstart pass the Akiko checks.
Taito input ports cleanup, continued: [stephh]
- Updated includes/taitoipt.h with macros for games with only 1 button
- Converted the following drivers and added more documentation, fixing
incorrect inputs and DIP switches along the way: taitoair.c,
taito_h.c, taito_x.c
- Slightly changed the C-Chip emulation for 'superman' to behave in a
similar way as other Taito games
- Corrected some notes in some other Taito drivers
Changed verinfo code to parse the version.c file instead of relying
on linking against version.o. This appears to fix the link ordering
problem and also prevents it from being constantly regenerated on
each build. [Aaron Giles]
Significantly improved the i386 disassembler. Changed it so that it
no longer outputs 'byte ptr' except for ambiguous cases. Updated for
full 64-bit disassembly support. Added support for the full IA32
opcode matrix as specified by recent Intel manuals, including all
SSE opcodes and variants. [Aaron Giles]
Updated the x86 drc helper code to support externally-allocated cache.
Also added support for allocating data structures out of the cache.
Modified initialization so that it does not immediately generate code
but rather waits for a reset to do that. Fixed code generation bug
when generating [reg*scale] modrm forms. [Aaron Giles]
Added new functions to the memory system to support CPU cores
explicitly specifying the access mask on 32-bit and 64-bit data bus
systems. This enables the MIPS core to handle SWL/SWR and SDL/SDR
without a read/modify/write cycle. Updated the C and DRC MIPS cores
to use this new mechanism. [Aaron Giles]
Added new module x86emit.h which supports dynamic code generation for
both x86 and x64 systems. This new system is a far more complete
solution, though not all opcodes are defined yet. The interface for
this is also cleaner than the previous one defined in x86drc.h.
Existing DRC cores are still using the old interface, but the new one
is preferred for new development. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed recently introduced bug in the mips3 core that caused the C
core to launch off into nowhere after the first instruction.

--------------
Updated memconv.h to convert from basically any to any widths
(8/16/32/64), on both little and big endian. Also added macros to
create the stubs for the most commonly used mappings, both in the
1:1 fashion, or the LSB/MSB/LSW/MSW style. [Ernesto Corvi]
CuboCD32/Amiga updates: [Ernesto Corvi]
- Finished implementing the CDROM controller, so now the games boot
- Moved the entire Akiko code to machine/cubocd32.c to make things
a little more easier to work with
- Added CDDA audio support to the CDROM controller and driver
- Systems with the AGA chipset no longer connect bit 0 of the CIA
that was previously connected to the Overlay pin not connected
- Made BLTDDAT return it's value. This is a readable register which
we were not handling.
- Initialized the SERDATR register upon reset to reflect that the
transfer buffer/shift reg is empty.
Added support for the PowerPC 601. [Ville Linde]
Fixed missing PLD region in -listxml. [MASH]
Changed all comparison for CPU and sound chip types to compare
against CPU_DUMMY or SOUND_DUMMY instead of 0. Also updated usages
of sndti_to_sndnum() so that they use sndti_exists() where appropriate.
[Atari Ace]
Removed CHD interface structure. CHDs now rely on the corefile
routines to perform file I/O. Updated the rest of the system to
handle this reality. A side-effect is that "split" CHDs, which never
got much play, have now been deprecated. [Nathan Woods]
Added new core library utility module palette.c for managing palettes.
Renamed emulator-specific palette code to emupal.c and restructured
to live on top of the core library code. [Aaron Giles]
Added support for attaching palettes to bitmaps in the core. Removed
support for the 16-pixel bitmap "safety" zone by default, since most
drivers do not need it. Added new function bitmap_alloc_slop() which
supports creating bitmaps with caller-specified slop values.
[Aaron Giles]
Removed the gfx_element.colortable element and replaced it with a new
element color_base which specifies the global color offset. This
breaks an awkward dependency between the palette and graphics code,
and removes a lot of odd pointer arithmetic in the system.
[Aaron Giles]
Tagged Machine->pens, Machine->colortable, and
Machine->remapped_colortable as const to prevent their abuse. Fixed
several abusing drivers, and tagged the remainder for future
cleanup. [Aaron Giles]
Added new colortable management functions in emupal.c. These functions
can be used to manage a colortable on top of the core palette in
cases where TRANSPARENCY_COLOR is currently used (essentially mapping
to a pen mask for TRANSPARENCY_PENS). Updated pacman, mappy, toypop,
and several other drivers to use the new functions. [Aaron Giles]
Vastly simplified the rendering code in docastle. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed remaining errors and warnings when building under gcc 4.2.1.
[Aaron Giles]
Added new function render_target_set_max_update_rate() which allows
the OSD layer to inform MAME of the target's refresh rate (or 0 if
there is no maximum). This is used to allow for the dynamic speed
adjustment parameter below. [Aaron Giles]
Added new parameter -refreshspeed (-rs for short) which dynamically
adjusts the -speed parameter to keep the effective refresh rate below
that of the lowest screen refresh rate. [Aaron Giles]
Added more opcode emitters to x86emit.h. [Aaron Giles]

present. Also fixed change that required write access to CHDs. [smf]
Fixed CHD search paths again so that they look in parent
subdirectories. [Aaron Giles]

MB86233 core changes: [ElSemi]
* fixed a double move opcode

Changed the way MAME handles options internally. Changed
mame_options_init() to return a core_options object, which is now
passed into mame_execute(). Moved mame_options() to mame.c, which is
now only valid while the emulation is running. Audit functions now
take a core_options parameter. [Nathan Woods]
More HD6309 fixes: [Tim Lindner]
* the SEXW instruction not longer clears the overflow flag
* now generating an illegal instruction trap if invalid registers
specified for TFM
Changed Windows message filtering to only apply to MAME game windows.
[Nathan Woods]
Improved graphics and cleaned up driver for srmp6.
[David Haywood, Tomasz Slanina]
Made a cleanup pass through the new x86emit.h code emitters, changing
the way memory is referenced and replacing macros with inline

the old macro-based ones in x86drc.h. [Aaron Giles]
Added save state support to pacland. [Aaron Giles]
Made -autoframeskip aware of the -speed setting. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed recent changes to the MB86233 core that broke Virtua Racing.
[Aaron Giles]
Added intelligence around the UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED flag, which is
returned from VIDEO_UPDATE. If all screens in the game return
UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED, then that frame is effectively skipped (up
to 3 frames in a row) in terms of throttling. This allows games that
render every other frame to not throttle during their "off frames".
Updated the midvunit driver to return UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED. You
should see an improvement in framerate with throttling enabled for
these games. Note that this only kicks in if frameskip is set to 0.

further analysis and potential future removal. [Atari Ace]
Fixed a number of issues in the h6280 CPU core: [Wilbert Pol]
- Taking of interrupts is delayed to respect a pending instruction
already in the instruction pipeline.
- Added 1 cycle for decimal mode ADC and SBC instructions.
- Changed cycle counts for CSH and CSL instructions to 3.
- Added T flag support to the SBC instruction.
- Fixed ADC T flag to set the Z flag based on the value read.
- Added 3 cycle penalty to ADC, AND, EOR, ORA, and SBC instructions
when the T flag is set.
- Fixed cycle count and support for 65536 byte blocks for the TAI,
TDD, TIA, TII, and TIN instructions.
- Fixed RDWORD macro in the disassembler.
- Fixed setting of N and V flags in the TST instructions.
- Removed unneeded debug_mmr code.
- Fixed TSB and TRB instructions.
- Added 1 delay when accessing the VDC or VCE areas.
- Implemented low and high speed cpu modes.
Moved srmp5 (Super Real Mahjong P5) to separate driver (from
st0016.c). Preliminary video hw emulation. Not playable, no sound.

Major Namco System 21 update. Changes include: [Phil Stroffolino]
- corrections to eprom handling (affects Namco System2 as well)
- scroll fix for sprite emulation in namcoic.c
- working Starblade, Cybersled, Solvalou with full 3d
- graphics should be 100% except for the depth cueing tables, which
are internal and need to be reconstructed
- Air Combat is improved, but is locking up in 118s because of
incomplete watchdog emulation
- Winning Run hardware is not yet working in this update
Fixed regression in undoukai caused by the REGION_CPU1 decoupling
from RAM. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
SCSP fixes: [R. Belmont]
* Fix writes to the hole in the SCSP address space (0x430 to 0x5ff)
to not trash global registers
* Fixed SCSP DMA to not read random memory for its' registers
Added minimal built-in layout for showing the lamps in Video Pinball.
[Mr. Do!]
Big Model 2 update. There's so much stuff improved, I'm just going to
list what's not working: [Ernesto Corvi, El Semi]
- There's still a glitch on the triangle parser somewhere.
Noticeable on the Sega logo in motoraid, the selection arrow in
dynamcop's player select screen and many other games. It might be
the culprit of the road in daytona looking wacky.
- There's a problem with the z clipping. Some tri's close to the
camera are clipped before they should. Some others should be
clipped but are not, and are blocking the viewport for a frame
or two.
- Sub-windows are not implemented yet. Visible on dynacop's mission
select, Sega Rally car select, and others.
- Most decal textures flicker on and off between frames. Maybe a z
coordinate float resolution issue after projection?
- Textures wrap by default. They should only wrap when the
appropriate flag is set only. Not sure what to do when we're not
wrapping.
Improvements to the Z180 core: [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
- added the 2 Programmable Reload Timers
- fixed the Internal I/O Registers remapping
- added logical -> physical memory translation
- disabled loops hack
- removed "extra icount"
- changed interrupts handling. Now they're checked as in Z80 core
- simplified RETN and EI opcodes
- fixed PRT interrupts
- cleared both interrupts flip flops when taking any irq
- added _IFF2 = _IFF1; just before _IFF1 = 0; when taking an NMI
Removed kludge in 20pacgal which is no longer necessary with proper
Z180 emulation. Sound now works as well. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Fixed some Dip Switches and added some extra notes to othunder.c
driver. Also added some notes to opwolf.c driver. [stephh]
Began moving the MegaTech/MegaPlay drivers over to the new Genesis
core code. [David Haywood]
Identified a number of additional new opcodes for Risky Challenge/
Gussun. [robiza]
Fixed Voodoo video timing according to the manual, including blanking
periods and vsync interrupts. This makes Carnevil and some other games
run once again at their proper speed. [Aaron Giles]
Updated Voodoo drawing code to track changes to the front buffer and
allow skipping unrendered frames for more even framerates.
[Aaron Giles]
Fixed hang when attempting to move windows with the debugger active
and multithreading enabled. [Aaron Giles]
Added preliminary attempt at a new x64 dynamic recompiler for the
MIPS 3/4 CPUs. The current version works enough to run a few basic
games (kinst, carnevil), but many others fail. Furthermore, this
version is already being supplanted by a more advanced version that
does register allocation and constant folding. For now it is disabled
by default. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed a few more 64-bit disassembler problems in i386dasm.c. Also
fixed several 64-bit errors in the code generators in x86emit.h.
[Aaron Giles]
Added support in the debugger memory view for 8-byte chunk sizes.
Fixed long-standing bug that failed to show unmapped logical addresses
as asterisks. Also added new menu items to the Windows debugger to
support viewing logical or physical memory. [Aaron Giles]
Removed limitation that tilemap tile widths must be divisible by
2, except in the 4bpp case, where an assert now catches this case.
[Aaron Giles]
Experimentally changed full screen behavior when using Direct3D so
that if -switchres is NOT enabled, then we don't create a fullscreen
Direct3D device. This minimizes large graphics card transitions (in
particular it does not disable glass in Vista) when you go full
screen. If you want the old behavior, run with -switchres and specify
a -resolution parameter equal to your desktop screen size.

Changed gfx_decode structures so that they are defined abstractly by macros rather than directly specifying the structures. Added new macros GFXDECODE_START/GFXDECODE_ENTRY/GFXDECODE_END to describe the gfx_decode information. Converted all drivers over to using the new macros. [Atari Ace]

Cleans up the input port for macrossp.c driver and adds dip locations. [Brian Troha]
Adds dip locations and changes the Japanese inputs into PORT_INCLUDE and PORT_MODIFY. [Brian Troha]
Added macros to clean up definitions of the discrete sound interfaces. At the same time, made them all const. [Atari Ace]
Some miscellaneous changes to the megatech driver. [David Haywood]
More srmp6 improvements. [686]
Two small Model 2 fixes: [Ernesto Corvi]
- fixed triangle parser; all objects should be structurally correct now
- fixed normal transform to not use the translation vectors
Cleaned up code to make code and data static where possible and remove some dead code. [Atari Ace]
SCSP improvements: [R. Belmont, ElSemi]
- fixed issue with changing the pitch of an active voice set to backwards or bidirectional loop
- removed fake reverb
- fixed internal DSP to operate properly
- rewrote timers and interrupt handling
- fixed operation when 2 SCSPs are present
Fixed sound in almost all SCSP-equipped Model 2 games. [R. Belmont]
Added sound hardware and fixed sound ROM loading in Model 3 games. [R. Belmont]
Created an options_output_diff_ini_file() API, which is similar to options_output_ini_file(), but only outputs the options which are different than a base core_options. Changed INI outputting (and hence the -cc option) to omit headers that do not contain any options. [Nathan Woods]
Hooked up sound in discoboy. [Tomasz Slanina]
Renamed old gfx_decode structure to gfx_decode_entry in order to catch remaining/new drivers that aren't using the new macros. [Aaron Giles]
Changed profiler so that it is independently selected versus the debug build. Built with MAME_PROFILER=1 to enable the profiler on a non-debug build. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed MIPS3 disassembly of j/jal instructions. [Aaron Giles]
Switched MIPS3 64-bit DRC over to new system that is more aggressive about register allocation and mapping. Sadly, there is little to no obvious performance benefit, but the resulting code is better organized. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed nasty x86emit bug involving 16-bit opcodes on 64-bit systems. [Aaron Giles]
Created new generic x86/x64 logging system x86log, and updated both MIPS3 DRC cores to use it. [Aaron Giles]
Created new generic DRC frontend management. Future work involves retooling the MIPS3 frontend around this new architecture. [Aaron Giles]

--------------
Fixed Cabal (joystick) submission from previous release.
[David Haywood]
Made a few improvements to dealem (well you can see the game now..)
[David Haywood]
Fixed broken SCSP from last update. [R. Belmont]
Changed parameters to read/write handlers from "address" to an
unmodified "original_address" parameter (having the passed parameter
being unmodified makes it easier to determine the original value while
debugging). [Nathan Woods]
Fixed colors in dynduke. [David Haywood]
Changed the following x86 instructions to read/write an entire word
rather than two separate bytes: [Philip Bennett]
- mov_axdisp
- mov_dispax
- stosw (8086 only)
- rep stosw (8086 only)
Also tweaked handling of x86 WAIT instruction.
Several more opcode fixes for Risky Challenge. [robiza]
Cleaned up the include file usage in the code: [Atari Ace]
- Removed dead prototypes
- Added missing self-#includes
- Added missing source comments in mame/includes
- Migrated the few #include "driver.h" lines from driver header
files to source files (which is the common idiom).
- Eliminated #include "mame.h", "osdcore.h" et cetera from driver
files where #include "driver.h" would suffice.
- Removed unused srmp6.h and 9900stat.h
Added the rom loading for the various 5*XX roms, which are dumped but
not yet hooked up. [David Haywood]
Fixed error messages output from option.c. [Christophe Jaillet]
gstream driver update: [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
- Changed to use a default nvram handler
- Checked the inputs
- Aligned the sprites
- Added some comments about oki banking
Major Sega Model 2 rewrite: [Ernesto Corvi]
- Decoupled the geometry engine code from the hardware rasterizer.
At this point, we could add emulation of the geometry DSPs for
the 2B and 2C models, and hook them directly to the rasterizer.
For the original and 2A models, an HLE geometry engine is provided
(currently in use for all models).
- Full Geometry Engine simulation, including support for specular,
multiple centers and dual polygon RAM.
- Support for all textured/transparent/checkered rendering modes.
- Improved texel/luma modulation
- Improved viewport clipping
- Improved z clipping
- Extensive notes and documentation.
- Greatly improved near Z-Clipping, still not perfect though.
- Improved perspective-correct texturing for large textures.
- Improved Z-Sorting
Changed Machine to machine in several places where feasible.
[Atari Ace]
Added decryption of Jongkyo. [Nicola Salmoria]
The OSD layer is now required to supply to additional synchronization
primitives: osd_compare_exchange32() and osd_compare_exchange64().
These primitives should implement an atomic compare and exchange of
32-bit and 64-bit values, respectively. Added implementations of these
functions to the Windows OSD layer. [Aaron Giles]
Defined two new inline functions that are built on the new OSD
primitives: osd_compare_exchange_ptr(), which performs an atomic
compare/exchange on a pointer of the appropriate size, and
osd_sync_add() which atomically adds a value to a location in memory.
[Aaron Giles]
Changed implementation of OSD work queues that are created with the
WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_MULTI hint. Such queues now create n-1 threads, where
n in the number of logical processors in the system. This allows the
main thread to continue accomplishing things while other threads
process the work. If the main thread subsequently calls
osd_work_queue_wait(), it will then dynamically "jump in" and help
the other threads complete all the work items. [Aaron Giles]
Added new work item flag WORK_ITEM_FLAG_SHARED. When specified on a
work item that is queued to a work queue created with the
WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_MULTI hint, it means that all threads will be
dispatched to process the one work item, instead of the first thread
removing it. These "shared" work items are only considered complete
when all processing threads have returned. [Aaron Giles]
Added support for controlling multithreading behavior through an
environment variable OSDPROCESSORS. To override the default behavior,
set OSDPROCESSORS equal to the number of logical processors you wish
the OSD layer to pretend you have. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the 3dfx Voodoo emulation code to take advantage of the new
threading mechanisms above. It now creates a work queue with the
WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_MULTI flag set, and uses shared work items to spread
rasterization work across multiple processors. Note that this support
should be considered experimental; under some circumstances it is
known to deadlock. If you encounter problems, set OSDPROCESSORS to 1
to effectively produce the previous behavior. [Aaron Giles]
Added "top 20" dedicated rasterizers for all the Seattle games and
Gauntlet Legends/Dark Legacy. These improve rasterization performance
by another 10-20%. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed several more bugs in the 64-bit MIPS recompiler. It is now
capable of running the Seattle games and the 3D Gauntlets.

More improvements to the Vs. Janshi Brandnew Stars driver.
[David Haywood]
More SCSP improvements: [El Semi]
- Fixed endianness issue on 8-bit samples and added interpolation
- Disabled modulation attempt (should fix the crash problems)
- Tweeked pitch calculation
Added the repeat count register (reg 0x34) access and immediate value
load to the MB86233 core (needed by Pilot kids). [El Semi]
Cleaned up the inputs, and fixed flipscreen in dynax.c. [Luca Elia]
Fixed several issues in seibuspi.c: [couriersud]
- added sound to rdft2us
- added coin-handling to single board games
- fix interrupt handling
- for rfjetus, adds a hack to enable Test-Switch to enter testmode
if no nvram exists
Fixed several issues in the i386 core: [couriersud]
- the INTR-line for i386 is a "level" line; changed interrupt
handling to trigger on asserted line
- in 32bit mode, determine trap/interrupt from gate-header
- interrupt line is read during two bus cycles. Adjust CYCLES
accordingly.
Added coin DIP switches and "teleport hole" DIP switch to crushs.
[sonikos]
Bug fixes for the z80gb cpu core: [Wilbert Pol]
- Fixed cycle count for taking an interrupt
- Fixed cycle count for BIT X,(HL) instructions
- Fixed flags in RRCA instruction
- Fixed DAA instruction
- Fixed flags in ADD SP,n8 instruction
- Fixed flags in LD HL,SP+n8 instruction
Fixed the linking issues when specifying MSVC_BUILD=1 and DEBUG=1.

[Aaron Giles]
Added code to detect potential hotspots in the 64-bit DRC. Added
hotspots to all the seattle.c games and several of the vegas.c games.
[Aaron Giles]
Simplified the osd_work implementation. Removed the concept of shared
work items. Added new function osd_work_item_queue_multiple() which
allows efficient queueing of large numbers of work items. Changed
previous osd_work_item_queue() function into an inline that calls the
new function. [Aaron Giles]
Updated Voodoo code to use the new work functions. It now queues
small scanline chunks as independent items rather than using shared
items. Updated code to also copy some parameters to allow for greater
overlapping of emulation and rendering. [Aaron Giles]
For Windows work functions, added new scalable lock implementation
that hopefully has better performance characteristics when scaling
above 2 CPUs. [Aaron Giles]
For Windows work functions, added statistics gathering code. This is
on by default for the moment to help point to problems that might be
encountered with this version. [Aaron Giles]

Updates to various NeoGeo ROMsets. Some ROM names updated to match
verified names from chip labels. A lot of "older" sets have been
redumped to investigate the "64k m1/s1 issue" (also the m1
"overdumps"). Result was, ALL m1 ARE at least 128kx8; ALL s1 ARE
128kx8. The old m1 "overdumps" were incomplete dumps. In addition,
it has been discovered that all "p-roms" do have a minimum size of
4mbit. A number of sets have been restored to their "original"
state, and a number of others have been marked as bad dumps where
appropriate. Specific changes include: [Johnboy]

Made several more traditional optimizations to the voodoo emulations,
gaining a few percent improvement. [Aaron Giles]
Further tweaked the work code to appropriately check for work items
versus checking for the number of outstanding items. [Aaron Giles]
Simplified some of the model2 rendering code. [Aaron Giles]
Moved a number of files from mame/machine and mame/video to
emu/machine and emu/video. In general, files that emulate a common
industry standard chip (as opposed to custom, manufacturer-specific
chips) were moved. Further moves may happen in the future to
isolate common system-level components (such as amiga, snes, etc.).

Cleaned up inline assembly support: [Aaron Giles]
* moved all inlinable functions into new module eminline.h
* defined a number of new inline functions, including:
- 32x32 -> 64 bit multiply
- fast approximate floating point reciprocal
* removed old inline definitions from osinline.h, osd_cpu.h, etc.
* eminline.h contains C implementations of everything
* new module eigccx86.h contains GCC-compatible x86/64 versions
* new module eigccppc.h contains GCC-compatible PowerPC versions
* eminline.h automatically detects GCC environments and includes
appropriate file
* osinline.h now only used in non-GCC environments
* updated osd/windows/osinline.h to contain MSVC-compatible versions
Added NORM implementation to the TMS32031 core. [Aaron Giles]
Created new rgbutil module which consists of inline functions for
common RGB manipulation. This module can be accelerated with SSE2 or
other SIMD operations. By default, only 64-bit Intel builds make use
of SSE, since it can be assumed on those platforms. Reimplemented the
namcos22 rasterizer in terms of these inline functions. Also updated
the gaelco3d rasterizer to use this module for faster bilinear
filtering. [Aaron Giles]
Made some progress on the Midway Zeus-based system. The 3d command
stream is now parsed and the format is partially understood, enough to
display some polygons but with incorrect textures in Mortal Kombat 4.

Cleaned up the inline assembly for both x86 and PPC, enabled the mul32 family assembly stuff on 32-bit x86, and fixed some compiler warnings on 64-bit GCC. In addition: [Vas Crabb]
* Provided single-precision reciprocal approximation code for PowerPC and x86 with SSE2.
* Filled in all other TBD functions in eigccx86.h for completeness.
* Conditionalised some code in eigccppc.h so that it isn't used when the compiler has 64-bit instructions available.
Added static qualifiers and renamed symbols in MAME in an effort to further tidy up the global namespace. Generally generic names were targeted and some symbols that were both static and extern. Some
specifics: [Atari Ace]
* K053247_ram was made static throughout and the existing K053247_export_config was used to obtain the value in xmen.c.
* The enums DS1991_STATE and DSP_TYPE were unused and were therefore removed.
* Dead code in cps3.c and thayers.c was discovered and commented out.
Made almost all input port definitions static. [Aaron Giles]
Obsoleted the GAMEB macro, which is no longer necessary. [Atari Ace]
Fixed casting issues in new inline validity checks. [R. Belmont]
Some build-related improvements to the sound cores: [Atari Ace]
* The SCSP dependency on mame/drivers/stv.c was removed allowing it to built independent of the driver.
* The WAVE dependency on MESS code was made explicit, so it can be built independentally of MESS.
* VOTRAX can now be built independentally of SAMPLES.
* The YM2612 core now can be built without including the YM3438 core.
* Unnecessary uses of BUILD_ and HAS_ macros have been removed.
* BUILD_ instead of HAS_ macros are used in 3812intf.c for consistency with the other fm cores.
Added DIP locations to several SSV games (in ssv.c). [Vas Crabb]
Corrected some errors in the SH4 core and implemented store queues and the basics of DMA. Added a call to simulate dma transfers with external devices. [Samuele Zannoli]
Expanded polynew.c to support quad rendering. Converted midvunit.cover to using the new quad rendering, which fixes a number of rendering issues that have plagued the driver since the start. [Aaron Giles]
Added Z-clipping logic to polynew.c. Converted namcos22 over to usingthat code. Simplified namcos22 significantly, working in quadsthroughout the lower-level pipeline and then handing the results off to polynew.c. [Aaron Giles]
Updated model3.c to use the new poly code, and changed much of the low-level implementation to make things easier. [Aaron Giles]

Made some minor changes in the inline code. The result of atomic_add32 isn't used a lot of the time, so the final addition was brought out to allow it to be optimized away. Removed the unnecessary delta argument from atomic_increment32 and atomic_decrement32 in eminline.h, and added implementations. Changed the condition for
using rgbsse.h to include 32-bit platforms with SSE enabled. [Vas Crabb]
Did a major clean-up of the input ports in ssv.c. Brought out the common joystick, mahjong and quiz input setups, and then used PORT_INCLUDE to pull them in when needed. Also brought out the common coinage settings, to avoid needless repetition. [Vas Crabb]
Analyzed all driver interfaces (DRIVER_INIT, READ8_HANDLER, etc.) to determine which ones should be made static and properly tagged them all to reduce global namespace pollution. Some cases turned out to be dead code, which was also properly tagged. [Atari Ace]
Updated the Tube Panic driver, fixing the background scroll-in (it's smooth again now). The problem was caused by wrong synchronization between main and slave CPUs. Also modified the video driver to be scanline accurate and implemented more accurate interrupt handling. [Jarek Burczynski]
Altered TTL low high levels in res_net.c. This will broaden the color range a bit. Since the results are normalized, there is only a limited effect visible. [couriersud]
Cleaned up inputs and added dip locations in ms32.c. Also fixed dips in "47pie2" and "akiss". [Sonikos]
Fixed bug that caused incorrect input to be read if multiple inputs were mapped to the same mouse input under Windows. [Nathan Woods]

Added support for indicating that DIP switches are reversed in the DIP locations view. [Vas Crabb]
Added DIP locations for Midway Tron and the Nintendo Donkey Kong series (dkong.c). [Vas Crabb]
Added an Altivec/VMX implementation of the RGB utilities for our friends with G4, G5 and POWER5 CPUs (rgbvmx.h) and added rgbint_bilinear_filter and rgbaint_bilinear_filter to rgbsse.h (based on rgb_bilinear_filter/rgba_bilinear_filter) for completeness, as these functions exist in rgbgen.h. [Vas Crabb]
Updated model2.c, taitojc.c, and gticlub.c to use the new polygon routines. Deprecated the old poly.c and renamed polynew.* to poly.*. [Aaron Giles]
Unified poly.c callbacks so that tri and quad callbacks work the same way. [Aaron Giles]

Reverted to old behavior where even with -switchres disabled,
MAME will use exclusive mode when rendering with Direct3D. This
means some of the switching to/from fullscreen mode problems will
come back, but should prevent confusion over poor performance by
default. [Aaron Giles]
Made it a non-fatal error if we are unable to change a joystick to

Cluedo (prod. 2) [James Wallace]
[url]http://mamedev.org/[/url] 0.121u1
-------
Source Changes
--------------
Added an API to access the current amiga_machine_interface.
[Nathan Woods]
Added more static qualifiers to core files. [Atari Ace]
Fixed reversed clock speeds in mexico86. [Brian Troha]
Changed malloc tracking to be decided at runtime in a function
use_malloc_tracking(). This makes it easy to turn it on or off by
recompiling only a single file. [Nathan Woods]
Split up MSVC inline assembler functions into MSVC specific headers,
and removed the assumption that Window's osinline.h would only be
used by MSVC. [Nathan Woods]
Optimized the hyperstone core, gaining ~50% speed improvement in most
games. Implemented clock prescaling and corrected interrupt priority
handling. Then fixed the clock speeds on the most of the games and
killed most of the speed gains in quite a number of them. (Sorry!)
[Aaron Giles]
Added explicit Core2 architecuture support to the makefile (CORE2=1).
Note that gcc 4.2.0 doesn't understand core 2, so this is equivalent
to compiling with pentium-m architecture and -sse3. Also note that
compiling native on a Core2 is not what you want because native will
think you are on a Prescott, which is P4-era hardware. [Aaron Giles]
Changed alignment of rgbint values in the namcos22 driver to work
around 32-bit gcc's lack of proper alignment handling. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed attotime routines to use unsigned math for multiply/divide,
solving problems with some games which errantly passed in -1 for the
factor. The new behavior matches the original behavior. [Aaron Giles]
Renamed colortable to colortable_t. Added a Machine->colortable
entry to hold the global colortable for games that use it. Updated
several more drivers to just use palettes directly rather than
hacking colortables. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed colors in loverboy. [David Haywood]
Fixed buffer overflow in K054539. [BUT]
SCSP improvements: [kingshriek]
- Added logarithmic envelope table
- Set envelope level to start at 0x17f in the ATTACK state
(0x3ff-0x280) as per Neill's notes
- Changed EG_SHIFT from 8 to 16 - more precision is needed to
differentiate the longer decay envelope times
- In the DECAY1-->DECAY2 transition, changed the "<=" to "<"
- Decreased the output of the effect out mixer a bit
- Fixed unaligned 16-bit samples
- Prevented keyoffs from killing slots when already in the release
state
- Envelope steps in the attack state are apparently exponential. To
account for this, I change the envelope output to linear for
attacks.
- Change the release rate calculation to use the decay table instead
of the attack one.
Fixed uninitialized variable in h6280 core. [Wilbert Pol]
Added meter support to the Cobra games. Cleaned up some of the
steppers code. [James Wallace]
Const-ified a number of data structures in the MAME system.
[Atari Ace]
Added PowerPC 604 processor support. Moved PowerPC opcode tables to
the CPU context to allow multiple simultaneous processors with
different opcode tables. [Ville Linde]
dkong driver updates: [couriersud]
- Added configuration switch to change palette between TKG02
(radarscp conversion) and TKG04 (dkong 2board)
- Added speech support (samples) to radarsc1
- Fixed sound for drakton and strtheat
- Hooked up and written 8257 dma controller
All dkong and dkongjr based games now use the 8257
All epos and 2650 based games now use the 8257
- Fixed 2650 games to use dkong audio as well - only cpu replaced
by addon board ...
- Updated game flags and added missing rom entries
- straightened memory maps
- Fixed bug in dkong3b memory map
- Externalized sound drivers to MACHINE_START in audio/dkong.c
- DAC Filter now uses lowpass sallen key filter
- Reorganized INPUT_PORTS
- Added Dip-Switch locations to 8ballact
- Fixed 8ballact according to conversion manual
- Reorganized code
Corrected a potential issue if more than one 8039/8035 is used by
a driver. Also should fix a potential inconsistency between saving
and loading a state. [couriersud]
Added an assert to ensure that the sound clear latch value is only
set at init time, since its value is not saved. [Aaron Giles]
Modified src2html to sort by filename rather than assuming that the
osd file finding routines would do so. [Aaron Giles]
Fix memory system regression caused by recent optimization. Fixed
another bug uncovered as a result in the decrypted opcode management.
[Aaron Giles]
More Zeus improvements. Converted over to 64-bit data and simplified
the logic to work more like the hardware. [Aaron Giles]

[Barry Rodewald]
Added initial FPU support to the SH4 core. [Samuele Zannoli]
Adjusted most conditional logging in MAME to use the idiom
"do { if (VERBOSE) logerror x; } while (0)". This has the benefit that
the compiler checks the syntax of the logging even in the case it will
be eliminated, and in fact a number of cases here needed adjustments
to compile because of this. [Atari Ace]

- converted to tilemaps
- simplified protection(?) emulation
- removed tilemap, a bit more low level video hw emulation
- fake colors
Lowerd FPS in lasso.c to avoid corrupting Chameleon's high score
table. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed obsolete uitext.c and all references to it. [Aaron Giles]
Some more modernization/clean-up in the exidy driver. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added VIDEO_ALWAYS_UPDATED for reliable collision detection in the
CVS driver. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Cleaned up astinvad driver: [Aaron Giles]
* Proper video timing
* Hooked up 8255 PPIs
* Correct interrupt timing
* Consolidated code into single file
i8039.c/mario.c updates: [couriersud]
* fixed movd instructions

* moved timer hack to M58715
* added ram_mask for internal ram access
* added R.A11 as 'M' to dasm flags
* added EA "IO" port

tracking from victory.c. Reorganized the exidy audio hardware code.
Changed Targ to use a loaded PROM instead of a hard-coded one. Renamed
Side Trak to Side Track as per the title screen. [Zsolt Vasvari]
6821 PIA changes: [Zsolt Vasvari]
- Added orthogonal accessors
- Removed hacky update_shared_irq_handler(), now the same
IRQ callback maybe called multiple times, but this shouldn't
be a problem
- IRQ lines are cleared on a reset
Disabled code in the TMS5220 that set the Buffer Empty flag after a
stop frame. This fixes Victory. This might be the incorrect fix but
the old code wasn't working either. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Hooked up revx dcs reset line. Signaled IRQ on correct CPU when DCS
sends data back (duh). [Aaron Giles]
Removed unnecessary check that could cause SCSP hangs in grdforce.
[kingshriek]
Tweaked deco156 clock speed to be 28 to prevent the games from running
in slow motion. I suspect the 156 chip has an internal multiplier, the
usual input pin is 7Mhz IIRC. [David Haywood]
dkong.c changes: [couriersud]
* added equivalence circuit for Sanyo EZV audio amplifier
* Set DK_C159 = 0 to avoid over-aggressive high-pass filter. Solely
based on observations.
* added comment on above to source
* Added define DK_NO_FILTERS to turn of DAC filters and post-mixer
filters for debugging
Adds dips for Water Balls. Adds dip port locations to all dips.
[Brian Troha]
Added CPUINFO_INT_CLOCK_MULTIPLIER to support CPU clock multipliers.
Updated all CPU cores to return a CPUINFO_INT_CLOCK_MULTIPLIER of 1.
Changed the core to actually respect both CPUINFO_INT_CLOCK_MULTIPLIER
and CPUINFO_INT_CLOCK_DIVIDER. Updated a number of drivers to use
cpunum_get_clock() instead of Machine->drv->cpu[x].clock. Raw input
clock speeds should now be specified for all CPUs in the
MACHINE_DRIVER. [Aaron Giles]
Changed TLC43076 and games using it to RGB32. Removed global Machine
variable where possible. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed dirtybuffer from video/generic.c and all drivers still using
it. Good riddance... Removed videoram_w, colorram_w and spriteram_w
and changed all drivers using it to access RAM directly. Removed
videoram_r, colorram_r, spriteram_r, spriteram16_r and spriteram16_w
from video/generic.c and changed all games to use (possibly shared)
RAM. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Cleaned up memory maps in the seibu sound interfaces. Changed to use
shared sound configs instead of statically copying them in each
driver. [Aaron Giles]
Verified and changed cpu frequencies and oki m6295 pin 7 on the
following pcbs: Asuka&Asuka, Cadash, Equites h/w games and sound
board, F1GP, Super Formula, Gladiator, Ping Pong king, Great
Swordsman, Irem m52 sound board, Tropical Angel, Explosive Breakers,
Magical Crystal, Mad Gear, Roller Aces, Chinese Hero, Simpsons,
Golfing Greats, Time Pilot 84. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Added some more static qualifiers on recent new/changed code.
[Atari Ace]
Fixed dbreed72 crash introduced in 0.122u5. [Mamesick]
Fixed HuC6280 low-speed mode so it uses 4 cycles instead of 3.
[Charles MacDonald]
Hand fixed Road Runner's corrupted ROM. We are 99.99% sure that the
bad bytes are the same as the Desert Gun ones. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Cleaned up leland clocks a little. Made the i186 divide-by-2 clock
internal. [Aaron Giles]
Added clocks to the MCR sound boards and some of the MCR games. Added
TMS5220 variants TMS5200 and TMC0285 as proper chips. Changed MCR
squawk & talk to use the TMS5200 as documented. [Aaron Giles]
Cleaned up Crazy Baloon driver: proper memory maps, crystals, etc.
Implemented the missing features of the collision detector custom IC.
[Zsolt Vasvari]
First pass at fixing the cpu clock speeds on the playstation based
hardware. The system 10 & 12 clock speeds have been raised as they
run on an upgraded chipset. The internal divide in the CPU core has
been set to 4 as we have no wait states, incorrect dma timing,
no gpu timing, no dma bus stealing and no gte timing. [smf]
Fixed RET instruction on the i960 core. [Ernesto Corvi, ElSemi]
Removed speedups in the gstream and limenko drivers which were
breaking the games. [David Haywood]
Fixed regression on i8039 T1 counter mode. [couriersud]
