0.136u1
-------

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this release of MAME, several important things about the system have changed. Please read the following items before attempting to compile this new version.

1. A new tool chain for Windows, based off of gcc 4.4.3 prerelease, is now REQUIRED. Go to http://mamedev.org/tools to get the new tools. The updated included with 0.136u1 WILL NOT BUILD with the old tools. The new tool chain has support for building 64-bit MAME builds with gcc, as well as built-in DirectX headers, and C++ support, which was missing from the old tools.

2. Non-Unicode builds of Windows MAME are no longer supported. The options to turn this off in the makefile have been removed, and future changes are likely to solidify this requirement. If you are still (God forbid) running on Win9x, you will need the unicows.dll library to run MAME. Download unicows from Microsoft.

3. All code in MAME is now compiled as C++, plus there have been a few small changes that take advantage of the C++ language. For the most part, there is no effect on how drivers are written, except for some nicer accessors to devices and address spaces. Future improvements to take advantage of the C++ syntax will evolve slowly, and will be done internally. We are not interest in outside attempts to do this work for now.

4. The SDL OSD for MAME is now shipped as part of the main source package. SDL builds for Windows are now regularly built as part of the validation sequence for a new release. Thanks to R. Belmont, couriersud, and Olivier Galibert for their work on the SDL port over the years.

Source Changes
--------------
hng64 improvments [Andrew Gardner]
- bbust2 now has 3d geometry.
- fixed improperly loaded ROMs in sams64* games.
- hacked 3d acknowledge in a slightly different manner. Sams64 games now show 3d.
- found the 'explicit palette' word in bbust2.  Colors are now correct Implemented what looks like a 'dynamic palette' bit. Fixes the colors in sams64 games, but not roadedge or buriki.

RSP DRC changes: [Aaron Giles]
- fixed misaligned 32-bit accesses
- disabled DRC_SQV implementation as it breaks music in mtetrisc

Converted RSP callbacks into device callbacks. Removed a ton of tag-based queries in favor of using the device passed. [Aaron Giles]

Added profiler_mark() calls around rdp_process_list() so that the RDP time is separated from the RSP time. [Aaron Giles]

Added more decrypted opcodes to cb2001. [robiza]

Added driver data struct to cave.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Changed inline_config to be allocated separately to avoid alignment issues. [Aaron Giles]

uPD7801 core changes: [Wilbert Pol]
- Fixed incorrect disassembly of some instructions.
- Updated the handling of interrupts to match the documentation.
- Implemented uPD7801 timers.
- Configured port A on the uPD7801 to an output port.

Removed the various HAS_xxxx for sound cores. To select sound cores, just choose them in the make system. Further granularity is not necessary. This also means that the samples core is always required. [Aaron Giles]

Base tilemap hook-up for cb2001. [Angelo Salese]

Fixed the gfx rom loading for Race Drivin' Panorama [David Haywood]

Vs. Net Soccer improvements:
- Emulated DMA protection for startup-checks [Olivier Galibert]
- Fixed Data ROM loading, game now boots [David Haywood]
- Marked Sprite + Sound ROMs as BAD_DUMP [David Haywood]

Converted the goldstar, liberate, sidearms and sidepckt drivers to use driver_data [Atari Ace]

Makefile changes: [Aaron Giles]
- Removed CPP_COMPILE flag; all code is now compiled as C++ except for zlib and expat
- Mapped INLINE to "static inline" since C++ has real inlining
- Added new 'default' make target which just builds the emulator. Use 'make tools' to build the tools, or 'make all' to build the whole thing.
- 64-bit builds now get a '64' suffix on them.
- Removed UNICODE flag from Windows; UNICODE is always enabled now.
- If OSD is not defined, we look for the built-in Windows environment variable 'OS' and if it is set to 'Windows_NT', we assume OSD=windows; otherwise we assume OSD=sdl.
- If TARGETOS is not defined, we look for the same variable and set TARGETOS=win32 if it is set to 'Windows_NT'.
- Windows SDL builds have an 'sdl' prefix on the executable so they can live side-by-side.
- Added cheesy auto-detection of 64-bit Windows builds (based on the PATH including 'mingw64-w64')

Removed hacks surrounding unicode handling in main(). They are no longer necessary with the new tools. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed typo in 8-bit eeprom case that broke operation in some games. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed x86 DRC backend codegen bug that broke kinst. [Aaron Giles]

Got rid of setjmp/longjmp for error handling in favor of exceptions. Fatalerror now maps to throwing an exception. [Aaron Giles]

[PIT8253] Update PIT counter even if there was no elapsed cycles (this only affects fast drivers like at586 in MESS). [Miodrag Milanovic]

Fixed a bunch of minor quirks, and fixed gfxs in the dwarfd driver. [Angelo Salese]

Changed berlwall, arkanoid, bakubrkr, mgcrystl to use YM2149. [Corrado Tomaselli]

Verified and corrected clocks in halleys and exctsccr. [Corrado Tomaselli]

Add support for Mahjong panel for mjgtaste. Makes this the default input and alters the default eeprom accordingly to match factory default. Note that you need to change both the game and the controller setting from the driver configuration when switching input sources since the two are mutually exclusive. [PsikyoFan]

Fix zeroize protection simulation in lieu of proper dongle dump. [Bryan McPhail]

Adds missing sample rom to Gals Panic 4 (Korea) [Brian Troha, Dumping Union]

misc Konami wip: [Fabio Priuli]
* moved a few routines (used for sorting graphics layers) to konicdev.c since they are shared by several drivers
* added driver data struct to ajax.c and aliens.c
* added driver data struct + save states to: asterix.c, bishi.c, blockhl.c, bottom9.c, chqflag.c, crimfght.c, dbz.c, gbusters.c, gijoe.c, lethal.c, mainevt.c, moo.c, overdriv.c, parodius.c, rollerg.c, rungun.c, simpsons.c, spy.c, surpratk.c, tail2nos.c, thunderx.c, tmnt.c, ultraman.c, vendetta.c, xexex.c and xmen.c
* updated some Konami drivers above to separately allocate palette/extra/work RAM instead of appending them to maincpu ROM; also, reduced maincpu rom regions where appropriate
* replaced memory_set_bankptr with memory_set_bank where necessary
* added driver data struct & save states to gradius3.c

Converted taitosnd (aka tc0140syt) to be a device and updated the related drivers to use the new code. [Fabio Priuli]

Replaced all occurrences of cputag_get_cpu with devtag_get_device: the former function was just an alias and now cpus are no different from other devices. Also removed cputag_get_cpu and cputag_reset (another alias, not even used in the source) from cpuexec.h. [Fabio Priuli]

Fixed knights rom labels [Dlfrsilver]

Metal Maniax improvements [Phil Bennett/luigi30]
* Fixed frame buffer display
* Started to add the other CPUs
* Added PCB layouts for layers 1 and 2
* Hooked up TMS34020
* Started to implement the ADSP-2105 network CPU and the CAGE audio system [Phil Bennett]

Added some missing header declarations and static qualifiers. Added validity.h to the core for consistency as well as an explicit foo.h in each foo.c. [Atari Ace]

Added driver data struct to taitoair.c and taito_b.c. [Fabio Priuli]

VIA6522: Refactored interface to use READ/WRITE_LINE. [Curt Coder]

Cyber Tank improvements: [Angelo Salese]
* Fixed bitplane order
* Decoded sprite gfx format
* Hooked up the two bg tilemaps
* Wrote bare-bones video emulation for the Cyber Tank sprite chip / blitter
* Added video boundary checks for the blitter

The starting value for an output port is now the default value, which is based on whether it is active high or low. So the device will be called the first time the line becomes active. Changed the eeprom device to assume that the reset and clock are cleared until it's told otherwise. [smf]

Added driver data struct to taito_l.c & opwolf.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Added driver data struct + save states to asuka.c (cadash was not supporting saves), rainbow.c, rastan.c, taito_f2.c, taito_h.c, taito_o.c, taito_z.c, topspeed.c & volfied.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Renamed mamecore.h -> emucore.h. [Aaron Giles]

New C++-aware memory manager: [Aaron Giles]

  This is a simple manager that allows you to add any type of object to a resource pool. Most commonly, allocated objects are added, and so a set of allocation macros is provided to allow you to manage objects in a particular pool:

    pool_alloc(p, t) = allocate object of type 't' and add to pool 'p'
    pool_alloc_clear(p, t) = same as above, but clear the memory first
    pool_alloc_array(p, t, c) = allocate an array of 'c' objects of type 't' and add to pool 'p'
    pool_alloc_array_clear(p, t, c) = same, but with clearing
    pool_free(p, v) = free object 'v' and remove it from the pool

  Note that pool_alloc[_clear] is roughly equivalent to "new t" and pool_alloc_array[_clear] is roughly equivalent to "new t[c]". Also note that pool_free works for single objects and arrays.

  There is a single global_resource_pool defined which should be used for any global allocations. It has equivalent macros to the pool_* macros above that automatically target the global pool.

  In addition, the memory module defines global new/delete overrides that access file and line number parameters so that allocations can be tracked. Currently this tracking is only done if MAME_DEBUG is enabled. In debug builds, any unfreed memory will be printed at the end of the session.

  emualloc.h also has #defines to disable malloc/free/realloc/calloc. Since emualloc.h is included by emucore.h, this means pretty much all code within the emulator is forced to use the new allocators. Although straight new/delete do work, their use is discouraged, as any allocations made with them will not be tracked.

  Changed the familar auto_alloc_* macros to map to the resource pool model described above. The running_machine is now a class and contains a resource pool which is automatically destructed upon deletion. If you are a driver writer, all your allocations should be done with auto_alloc_*.

  Changed all drivers and files in the core using malloc/realloc or the old alloc_*_or_die macros to use (preferably) the auto_alloc_* macros instead, or the global_alloc_* macros if necessary.

  Added simple C++ wrappers for astring and bitmap_t, as these need proper constructors/destructors to be used for auto_alloc_astring and auto_alloc_bitmap.

  Removed references to the winalloc prefix file. Most of its functionality has moved into the core, save for the guard page allocations, which are now implemented in osd_alloc and osd_free.

Added driver data struct + save states to darius.c & othunder.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Added driver data struct to ninjaw.c, slapshot.c, warriorb.c, wgp.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Extended the astring class wrapper into something useful, and useable as a stack object. Also designed the interfaces to allow for chaining operations. And added a casting operator to const char * for seamless use in most functions that take plain old C strings. [Aaron Giles]

Changed all uses of astring to use the object directly on the stack or embedded in objects instead of explicitly allocating and deallocating it. Removed a lot of annoying memory management code as a result. [Aaron Giles]

Changed interfaces that accepted/returned an astring * to use an astring & instead. [Aaron Giles]

Removed auto_alloc_astring(machine). Use auto_alloc(machine, astring) instead. [Aaron Giles]

Major header file cleanup: [Aaron Giles]
- Created new central header "emu.h"; this should be included by pretty much any driver or device as the first include. This file in turn includes pretty much everything a driver or device will need, minus any other devices it references. Note that emu.h should *never* be included by another header file.
- Updated all files in the core (src/emu) to use emu.h.
- Removed a ton of redundant and poorly-tracked header includes from within other header files.
- Temporarily changed driver.h to map to emu.h until we update files outside of the core.

Added class wrapper around tagmap so it can be directly included and accessed within objects that need it. Updated all users to embed tagmap objects and changed them to call through the class. [Aaron Giles]

Added nicer functions for finding devices, ports, and regions in a machine: [Aaron Giles]

   machine->device("tag") -- return the named device, or NULL
   machine->port("tag") -- return the named port, or NULL
   machine->region("tag") -- return the named region

(Note that machine->region() returns a pointer to a region_info class which describes a region, not a pointer to the region's memory.)

Made the device tag an astring. This required touching a lot of code that printed the device to explicitly fetch the C-string from it. (Thank you gcc for flagging that issue!) [Aaron Giles]

Added a PCM sample end/loop callback to the RF5C68 core [Barry Rodewald]

galaxold update: [stephh]
- Renamed set kkgalax to ckongmc
- Changed descriptions for ckongg and ckongmc
- Fixed dip switches and inputs for ckongg and ckongmc
- Updated ckongmc memory map

Added the mameconfig version to the -listxml output [Oliver Stoneberg]

Implemented inputs and sound in Gunpey [Luca Elia]

Added new member function space() to the device_config, along with shorter constants to be used (AS_PROGRAM, AS_DATA, AS_IO). With no parameters, space() returns the first address space, which is commonly the only space present. Updated a few devices that referenced the old space[] array to call the new function instead. [Aaron Giles]

Implemented basic blitter support in Gunpey [Tomasz Slanina]

Converted Gunpey to use RGB pens instead of hardcoded palette table [Angelo Salese]

Enforce that numbers are all the same exact width when loading fonts. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed a bogus protection check in Victor 21 [Angelo Salese]

Fix assert for prmrsocr + clones - no whatsnew needed [Fabio Priuli]

Redumped program and sprite roms in Cyber Tank [Antonio Gonzalez Jr.]

Added a mostly-complete SunPlus u'nSP core based on the one in Segher's "Unununium". [Harmony]

Add lots of comments relating to 56-pin Mahjong interface and Psikyo SK-G001 interface pcb based on discussion with alien_mame and documents from other Mahjong PCBs. [PsikyoFan]

Verified clocks on Poker Ladies and changed Z80 clock of Mahjong Gakuen from 6Mhz to 8MHz to match the other Mitchell hardware games [Corrado Tomaselli]

i386: Improved accuracy of the various emulated models, makes CPU detection programs detect the correct CPU (in MESS). [Dirk Best]
- eflags mask added
- Initial values for the EAX and EDX registers fixed
- cpuid values improved
- feature flags improved
- initial value for the cr0 register improved
- changed 486 to not support the cpuid instruction by default
- take a trap on invalid instructions instead of throwing a fatalerror
- emulated the undefined flag behavior for the DIV/IDIV instructions on Intel CPUs

SDLMAME: improved OS X and SDL 1.3 SVN support, try to autodetect SDLMAME targets [Couriersud]

SDLMAME: add BGRA support to -video soft [couriersud]

Fixed period for both sn76489 and sn76489A periodic noise; fixes pitch in 'smooth criminal' demo for colecovision and fixes pitch (but not the waveform, which will require more work) of music in dorunrun; More work is required before the code will be bit accurate due to the way the real LFSR and periodic generator work. [Lord Nightmare, Kold666, PlgDavid]

SDLMAME makefile improvements: [couriersud]
- Fix TARGETOS detection on OS X.
- Do not try to check TARGETOS when cross-compiling
- For non-windows targets, try to auto-detect PTR64
- testkeys now builds again
- for unix targets, added a depend rule to sdl.mak which builds a .depend file.

Fixed a number of compiler bugs found by PowerPC MacOS X. [R. Belmont]

Added casting operators to the region_info class so you can assign a region to a generic type pointer and have it automatically convert. Also added a bytes() method which is safe if the region is NULL (useful for saying machine->region("foo")->bytes() and not crashing if foo doesn't exist). [Aaron Giles]

Changed the region field in the device_config to be a region_info *, and removed the regionbytes field. Updated all users of these fields to use the new casting operators and bytes() methods instead. [Aaron Giles]

Added subdevice and subregion methods to the device_config class, so you can easily query for devices and regions that are device-specific. The device prefix ("devicename:") is automatically prepended. [Aaron Giles]

YM2612: More accurate LFO implementation and channel clipping [Eke-Eke, Nemesis, R. Belmont]

Redumped sound roms in Cyber Tank [Antonio Gonzalez Jr., Dumping Union]

psikyosh improvements: [PsikyoFan]
* Add support for per-scanline scroll/zoom and per-column effects. This is adds a significant performance penalty when enabled. Removed warning flag from s1945ii and s1945iii. s1945iii needs confirmation of correctness and x-zoom is a guess.
* Virtually completed video rendering. Only flipscreen missing (and conversion to tilemaps one day). Per-line effects now respect per-line alpha, priority and bank. As a result daraku text works without any hacks.
* Added various optimisations to get back all games to a playable speed.
* Fixed missing soldivid effect on final boss that was broken due to above daraku hack.
* Added accurate scaling effects based on measurements from hardware.

cybertnk improvements: [Angelo Salese]

Created new template class tagged_list which manages a simple list along with a tagmap. Changed memory regions, input ports, and devices to use this class. For devices, converted typenext and classnext fields into methods which dynamically search for the next item. Changed a number of macros to use the features of the class, removing the need for a bunch of helper functions. [Aaron Giles]

Replaced device_find_child_by_tag() -> device->subdevice().

Added Am29000 CPU core [Phil Bennett]

Removed stdlib.h from osdcomm.h. [couriersud]
- Added #include stdlib.h where now necessary
- Fixed Solaris build
- Fixed building unidasm for OSD=sdl on win32

Tools now include stdlib.h where needed. [couriersud]

Changed core library files to use osd_malloc/osd_free where appropriate. [couriersud]

Added checkautodetect target to makefile. [couriersud]

Permit zlib and expat to be linked dynamically without changing the makefile by specifying "=0": make BUILD_ZLIB=0 BUILD_EXPAT=0 [couriersud]

Improved vsnet sprite/roz alignment [David Haywood]

Converted the following drivers to use a driver_data structure: [Atari Ace]
- bigstrkb, mugsmash, pass, sbugger, sderby, shadfrce, shootout, silkroad, spbactn, sslam, stlforce, taitojc, tunhunt, welltris, wwfsstar, xyonix
- 39in1, safarir, sbowling, shougi, skeetsht, skyarmy, sliver, spoker, spool99, srmp5, srmp6, ssingles, sstrangr, sub, supdrapo, superdq, supertnk, suprgolf

hng64 : Implemented low-res texture decoding.  All red/green polygons should now be textured. [Andrew Gardner]

Correct a long-standing design flaw: device configuration state is now separate from runtime device state: [Aaron Giles]

* There is a new class 'running_device' which represents the state of a live device. A list of these running_devices sits in machine->devicelist and is created when a running_machine is instantiated.

* To access the configuration state, use device->baseconfig() which returns a reference to the configuration.

* The list of running_devices in machine->devicelist has a 1:1 correspondance with the list of device configurations in machine->config->devicelist, and most navigation options work equally on either (scanning by class, type, etc.)

* For the most part, drivers will now deal with running_device objects instead of const device_config objects. In fact, in order to do this patch, I did the following global search & replace:

      const device_config -> running_device
      device->static_config -> device->baseconfig().static_config
      device->inline_config -> device->baseconfig().inline_config

    and then fixed up the compiler errors that fell out.

* Removed device_get_info_* functions and replaced them with methods called get_config_*.
  
* Added methods for get_runtime_* to access runtime state from the running_device.
  
* DEVICE_GET_INFO callbacks are only passed a device_config *. This means they have no access to the token or runtime state at all. For most cases this is fine.
  
* Added new DEVICE_GET_RUNTIME_INFO callback that is passed the running_device for accessing data that is live at runtime. In the future this will go away to make room for a cleaner mechanism.
  
* Cleaned up the handoff of memory regions from the memory subsystem to the devices.

Fix bug introduced with astring changes that caused malformed tokens when writing out cfg files. [Aaron Giles]

Fix bug where memory regions were not properly enumerated for the debugger memory view. Also, stop creating empty regions for disk regions. [Aaron Giles]

Added Guru(TM)-readme to trackfld. [Curt Coder]

Refactored the CIA 6526 interface, adding SP/CNT callbacks. Fixed serial transfer. [Curt Coder]

Convrted the rest of devintrf to classes and moved management functions into methods of those classes. The most wide-ranging change was converting device_reset() to device->reset(). Apart from that it was mostly internal shuffling in the core. [Aaron Giles]

Added OS/2 autodetect to makefile. [couriersud]

Autodetection of PTR64 can be inhibited now by specifying PTR64=0. On mixed 32bit/64bit targets identifying themselves as 64bit this can be used to build a 32bit executable. [couriersud]

Added OpenBSD support in makefile/sdl.mak. Fixed XBSD detection of PTR64 (uses amd64). [couriersud]

Fix bug that mistook a non-NULL token to mean that a device was started. Fixes -video ddraw issue. [Aaron Giles]

Replaced vsnes bank installs with RAM installs, since the banks were never changed. [Aaron Giles]

Exit from the unhandled exception filter cleanly now. Use SetErrorMode() to disable the appearance of dialog boxes when crashes occur. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed a typo in pgm.c that was causing a memory test error and corrected some comments [XingXing]

Made direct accessors for device configuration state. Currently they just call through to the get info function. Removed old macros that wrapped calls. [Aaron Giles]

Removed some aliases between CPUINFO_ and DEVINFO_ to help clarify usage. Also converted a few more places to use the new accessors. [Aaron Giles]

Replaced drgninja set with one dumped from a genuine Data East PCB [dlfrsilver]

Added MEC-M1 PCB layout to the dec0 driver and updated some clocks and ROM names [Guru]

hng64 : Partially decodes translation-only geometry type 0102. This makes the road appear in the racing games, the edge of the ring in buriki, and a hallway during the buriki attract. [Andrew Gardner]

The return of the "misc" [couriersud]
- Added sdlmisc_<targetos>.c again. This was necessary since certain tools create stubs for e.g. osd_break_into_debugger. If we do not have this in a separate file, the link stage may break.
- Applied OS/2 patch [Credit: KO Myung-Hun]
- Cleaned up #includes. Removed stdlib.h were possible.
- More malloc to osd_malloc rename.
- SDL monitor modes are read now when they are needed. This is now consistent across platforms.

GTK Debugger work [couriersud]

Internal debugger using the mame rendering infrastructure [couriersud]
- added support for arbitrary number of containers for render_target
- added command-line parameter -debug_internal (-di) to use the internal debugger when in debug mode
- internal debugger supports all views except memory view
- added "Debug" view to layout/vertical.lay to create more place for debug views in vertical games.

NOTE: The colors are ugly. Font rendering needs improvement. There are no shortcut keys right now. There is still a lot of room for more improvements. However, it works and does not depend on any ui toolkit. The interface has been designed to support displaying views programmatically e.g. from the ui.

Short HowTo:
  - Start MAME with "-debug -di"
  - Console, register and disasm views will be shown. Place them by dragging the view on the title bar.
  - Views can be resized by dragging the bottom-right yellow square.
  - The view having the focus has a green background title bar.
  - Hit "Tab" (IPT_UI_CONFIGURE) to show the menu.
  - Console and disasm views support a very simple facility to support entering commands and addresses. Just start typing. Hit "enter" when finished.

0.137
-----

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of this release of MAME, several important things about the system have changed. Please read the following items before attempting to compile this new version.

1. A new tool chain for Windows, based off of gcc 4.4.3 prerelease, is now REQUIRED. Go to http://mamedev.org/tools to get the new tools. The code included with 0.137 WILL NOT BUILD with the old tools. The new tool chain has support for building 64-bit MAME builds with gcc, as well as built-in DirectX headers, and C++ support, which was missing from the old tools.

2. Non-Unicode builds of Windows MAME are no longer supported. The options to turn this off in the makefile have been removed, and future changes are likely to solidify this requirement. If you are still (God forbid) running on Win9x, you will need the unicows.dll library to run MAME. Download unicows from Microsoft.

3. All code in MAME is now compiled as C++, plus there have been a few small changes that take advantage of the C++ language. For the most part, there is no effect on how drivers are written, except for some nicer accessors to devices and address spaces. Future improvements to take advantage of the C++ syntax will evolve slowly, and will be done internally. We are not interested in outside attempts to do this work for now.

4. The SDL OSD for MAME is now shipped as part of the main source package. SDL builds for Windows are now regularly built as part of the validation sequence for a new release. Thanks to R. Belmont, couriersud, and Olivier Galibert for their work on the SDL port over the years.

- 03762: [DIP/Input] tekken and clones: Kick button does not work (R. Belmont)

Source Changes
--------------
Added default nvrams to the ST-V driver [David Haywood]

Improve text layer in LE2: [David Haywood]
* set display enable to be ON by default.  LE2 doesn't turn it on until after the test screens, which would seem to indicate that the register should default to on, otherwise they're always invisible.
* added a kludge to use the right palette for the text layer in LE2, I haven't checked, but I wonder if this could also be related to internal defaults for the mixer chip which the game doesn't change. This allows you to see the ram/rom tests anyway, which is better than an invisible startup.

680x0 FPU updates [R. Belmont]
* Rewritten to use SoftFloat instead of unportable native FP math
* Support added for Motorola 96-bit extended floats
* More addressing modes and conditions supported

Updates to toaplan1.c driver: [Quench]

* Added 6845 CRTC interface
* Corrected some clock speeds

namcos23 housekeeping: move months to mamedriv, fix 500 GP name [Guru]

* Fixed graphics bitplanes to involved games.
* Added more hardware/technical info.
* Modify the mongolnw machine driver. Now can see it starts.

* Reworked button-lamps layouts per game. Cleaned-up the code.
* Added specific button-lamps layout for bigdeal games.
* Added specific button-lamps layout for royalcrd & jolycdit, but there is a bug in the d-up select code that lights the wrong lamp. This is a leftover from jollycrd routines.
* Flagged vegasfte as GAME_NOT_WORKING, since is not receiving any coins or remote credits anymore.

hng64 : Lighting calculations are now more accurate. [Andrew Gardner]

Added driver data class and save states to: paradise.c, pasha2.c and pbaction.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Enabled saves states in pass.c (everything was already saved) [Fabio Priuli]

snes.c: reworked OAM drawing routines, implemented correct range over and time over flags (sprite limits), implemented FirstSprite priority [Fabio Priuli]

snes.c: moving more variables to driver data class and refactoring/cleaning up some code [Fabio Priuli]

NamcoS21 cleanups [David Haywood]
* Added default NVRAM to Cybersled
* Limited the range of the analog inputs in Cybersled (the game glitches, causing you to move backwards if they hit the minimum / maximum)
* Setup default key mapping in Cybersled to be similar to other dual joystick 'tank' style games, eg. Assault, rather than the default keyboard mapping where the sticks appear to be swapped.
* Reworked the input ports a bit so that they include a common base rather than duplicating common inupts
* Renamed aircombu to aircomb, and made it the parent instead of the Japanese set.

Cave cleanups [David Haywood]
* Removed fake Region dipswitch that modified the region byte in the EEPROM each reset for Sailor Moon, Air Gallet and Mazinger Z
* Split out different regions into clones with different default EEPROMs instead, and ensured all EEPROMs are factory default for that region. (this is a cleaner solution and more accurately represents the PCBs)

dynax.c, ddenlovr.c: Added driver data class [Fabio Priuli]

tlcs90.c: added save states [Fabio Priuli]

ddenlovr.c, dynax.c: replaced memory_set_bankptr with memory_set_bankp and added save state support [Fabio Priuli]

snes.c: Updated the snes sound device to use device handlers, to store its internals in a struct, and to save them [Fabio Priuli]

i386: fixed unaligned memory accesses and opcode fetches when they cross a page boundary. Previously, if pages were not ordered in contiguous RAM, then a cross-boundary read or write would read partially incorrect data or write some of the data in the wrong page. [Barry Rodewald]

png2bdc.c: When the usage is printed, the name displayed was "png2bdf" instead of "png2bdc"; this changes it by retrieving the name of the executable at runtime, so it will always be correct now. [Christophe Jaillet]

several cleanups based on cppcheck and VS2008 Code Analysis [Oliver Stoeneberg]

split.c: made the "split" return the actual result instead of just 0. [Oliver Stoeneberg]

clifront.c: made the identation of the CPU device in -listdevices the same like the others [Oliver Stoeneberg]

Fixed spinner input in moonwarp, added notes about spinner board, marked game as working. [Lord Nightmare]

Imported the same implementation of moon war proto's spinner to moon war 2; works much more smoothly now. [Lord Nightmare]

Fix very minor occasional glitches in moonwar/moonwara/moonwarp spinners caused by IPT_DIAL crossing the 0x00<->0xFF border. Added conditional Hyperflip button to moonwar, only seems present in upright mode? (in cocktail mode the same input is used by player 2 for a different button) [Lord Nightmare]

Implement many of the dipswitches for moonwarp, and re-add the color test mode to frenzy; Cocktail/upright select is still missing from moonwarp, though I managed to trigger cocktail mode a few times by accident. Needs code study to see what it actually depends on. The p2 controls are separate in cocktail mode. [Lord Nightmare]

Fixed for good trasparency issues in Three Dealers Casino House [Angelo Salese]

snes.c: some internal refactoring, some new debug functions and a small mode7 fix [Fabio Priuli]

Changed default initial state of PIC8259 to STATE_READY [Miodrag Milanovic]

First step in refactoring the video system in metro.c driver [David Haywood]

Corrected typo in Yie Ar Kung-Fu verified clock rates and tweaked the tempo slightly to better match reference recordings. [Corrado Tomaselli, Tafoid]

Final step in refactoring the video system in metro.c driver, replaced the video code with custom renderer functions [David Haywood]

Improvements to funworld.c driver. [Roberto Fresca]
* Added dual-state palette (addressable through PLDs). This allow to choose which half of the palette will be addressed.
* Splitted the main machine driver to cover both palette states.
* Reworked inputs / DIP switches for vegasslw, vagasfst and vegasfte.
* Created new default NVRAM for Royal Vegas Joker Card sets. These need to be configurated to be valid ones. Now vegasfte can receive remote credits, and all three in the family have valid min-max bet value and payout.
* Removed the not working flag from vegasfte.
* Improved colors for Big Deal sets.
* Correct colors for Royal Vegas Joker Card sets.

Hooked up default NVRAM in Five A Side Soccer [David Haywood]

snes.c: updated DSP1, DSP2, DSP3, DSP4, OBC1, SRTC and ST010 addon chips to store their variables in struct and to save them [Fabio Priuli]

More improvements to funworld.c driver [Roberto Fresca]
* Added a second set of Jolly Card Professional. Documented the code differences.
* Added another Royal Vegas Joker Card set, from Mile. These sets aren't intended to work with coins. Only remote credits are allowed. There are external modules that can manage up to 4 machines simultaneously, adding/removing/watching credits.
* Added default NVRAM to the above sets.
* Added proper inputs and DIP switches to vegasmil.
* Replaced the jolyc980 default NVRAM with one totally clean. Temporal and total meters are cleared to zero.

Source Changes
--------------
Fixed a bug with un-inited DMA regs in the SNES driver, fixes at least a long-standing bug with nss_ssoc dimmed team selection screen [Angelo Salese]

Added the Airline Pilot (USA) Naomi BIOS rom [The Dumping Union]

sauro, trckydoc, trckydoca (sauro.c)  [stephh] :
* Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs (after verification of the Z80 code)

ppu2c0x.c: Removed the bogus "color remap tables" in favor of external palettes containing data reverse-engineered (several years ago) from original hardware. Each vsnes set, as well as the playch10 bios, now requires one of these palettes. [Alex Jackson]

vsnes.c improvements: [Alex Jackson]
* Moved RC2C05 PPU-based protection into the PPU itself, rather than hacking it in at the driver level.
* After exhaustive testing, completely sorted out the "palette" dipswitches (which are actually PPU type selection) on all games that have them.  Added notes about these games in the comments.
* Removed GAME_IMPERFECT_COLORS and GAME_WRONG_COLORS from all games, as they should all be 100% correct now.
* Fixed coin inputs in tkoboxng. Removed IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS flag since there's no legitimate reason I can see for it. Also, fixed manufacturer and description to match the title screen.
* Added a bit more information about the missing sets in the comments.

add partial 6840ptm readback support to exidy.c [Lord Nightmare]

Convert Atari System 1 to use the 'new' TMS5220 interface. [Lord Nightmare]

Switch Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters to use the new TMS5220 interface. [Lord Nightmare]

snes.c: Fixed clipmasks in hires modes [Fabio Priuli]

lr35902.c: Fixed possible issue when checking for enabled irqs. [Oliver Stoeneberg]

rf5c68.c: corrected the point at which the sample callbacks are triggered, and what channel is returned.  The interrupts are masked or enabled based on what PCM memory bank is used, rather than the physical channel that was used. [Barry Rodewald]

Converted Atari System 2 to use the 'new' TMS5220 interface. Switched TMS5220 type to 5220C. [Lord Nightmare]

Further refining of the Atari JSA speech and audio modifications. Hooked up the reset line for the ym2151. [Lord Nightmare]

inptport.c: fixed keyboard detection (mainly for MESS) [Fabio Priuli]

Hooked up correct proms, corrected gfx rom order and added bank select / enabled for the reels in Treasure Island (Subsino) [David Haywood]

updated Star Wars to use proper clocks for the tms5220 and the pokeys. [Lord Nightmare]

MASSIVE merge of TMS5110 and TMS5220 cores, TMS5220 side only so far. Much code by Jarek Burczynski merged. Lattice Filter, Multiplier, and clipping redone. TMS5220C multi-rate feature added. Now using the same LPC table file (and format, as created by couriersud) as the TMS51xx is. Unvoiced-Voiced transitioning adjusted to match patent. Command handling redone to better match patent. Reasonably significant speech quality improvements: Separate tables for TMS5200, TMS5220 and TMS5220C are implemented, though all still need to be verified from hardware. Fixes: Garbled speech in Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monster's Canal Mazes is fixed, as well as some other garbled speech in game (when saying 'throwing switch' for instance). Known Regressions (being worked on): Victory fails its startup self test with an error 5, but speech works in-game. [Lord Nightmare]

Fixed victory self-test issue (FIFO must NOT be cleared on processing of a STOP frame, only on a new speak external command. victory is pedantic about this.), and in the process also fixed a bug regarding reading /READY state when not in speak external mode (the FIFO being full should NOT force /READY inactive in that case!) [Lord Nightmare]

Fixed various SNES SRAM issues [Fabio Priuli, Angelo Salese]

Fixed Wai Wai Jockey Gate-In title screen colors [Angelo Salese]

mk3ghw (aladbl.c driver + megadriv.c) [stephh] :
* Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs (after verification of the M68000 code) ssgbl (ssgbl.c driver + megadriv.c) [stephh] :

* Replaced the Fun World Quiz bad ROMs with good ones.
* Fixed the Fun World Quiz graphics and colors.
* Cleaned-up the flags for non working games.
* Modified the default lamps layout to include the bet lamp.
* Cleaned-up the Fun World Quiz inputs.

Source Changes
--------------

Replaced TMS5200 table with table extracted using PROMOUT from actual chip. monymony sounds much better. [Lord Nightmare]

Improvements to Treasure Bonus (Subsino) [Roberto Fresca]
* Reworked and cleaned-up the inputs. Most buttons have more than one single function.
* Added DIP locations.
* Figured out the following DIP Switches: Complete Coinage (1/2/5/10/20/25/50/100). Remote Credits (1/2/5/10/20/25/50/100). Minimum Bet (1/8/16/32). Max Bet (16/32/64/80). Demo Sounds (Off/On). Game Limit (10000/20000/30000/60000). Double-Up (No/Yes). Win Rate (84/86/88/90/92/94/96%). Double-Up Level (0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7). Double-Up Game (Dancers / Panties Colors / Cards / Seven-Bingo).
* Fixed inverted functions and buggy inputs.
* Added lamps support.
* Created button-lamps layout.
* Remapped inputs to reflect the controls layout. This way is more user-friendly since controls are straight with button-lamps.
* Added coin/keyin/keyout/payout counters.
* Removed the pulse limitation in the BET input. This allow it to work as BET and STOP2 properly.
* Added technical notes.

Status Fun Casino improvements: [Roberto Fresca]
* Reworked inputs to match the standard.
* Lowered the CPU clock to get it working properly.
* Added technical notes.

Output Cleanup/Hookup (Part 2) [Howard Casto]:
* segas32.c:  Hooked up all digital outputs for all games (radm, alien3, radr, f1en, arescue, f1lap, jpark, slipstrm, orunners, harddunk, scross, titlef) Emulation needs to progress more on the analog output data before those outputs can be hooked up.
* audio\mw8080bw.c:  Changed output name for desertgn to something more descriptive (Player1_Gun_Recoil)
* bbusters.c:  Added new output handling functions and hooked up outputs for bbusters and mechatt
* opwolf3.c:  Added gun outputs for opwolf3 (man that game is terrible)
* machine\williams.c:  Fixed existing outputs in tshoot (they needed inverted) and hooked up the rest, including the feather blower. :-D
* gunbustr.c:  Hooked up all outputs for gunbstr
* namcos12.c:  Hooked up outputs for all system 11 gun games (ptblank2, ghlpanic, tenkomor)
* segaybd.c:  Hooked up all digital outputs (gloc, glocr360, gforce2, pdrift, rchase, strkfghtr), also hooked up motor/analog outputs for Power Drift and G-Loc/ Strike Fighter The remaining games with motors could be hooked up as well assuming emulation can progress enough to get past the error messages.
* namcos2.c:  Hooked up gun recoils for golly ghost.  Also noted that the outputs for the remaining gun games are also in that area. Someone who can find the offsets should be able to hook them up.
* segas18.c:  Hooked up gun recoils for lghost.
* taito_z.c:  Hooked up outputs for spacegun and made a few prototype functions to help in hooking up the remaining games.  Someone familiar with the driver should take a look. I hooked up a few, but they don't work like they should according to the comments.

toutrun.c: corrected dipswitches in the most recently added Turbo Out Run set, and reorganized the sets so that the parent is the FD1094 317-0118 set, the "newest" set based on both EPROM and security chip part numbers. [Andrew Jackson]

Fix two VS2008 warnings (namcos23.c and rdpfb.c) [Oliver Stoneberg]

Remove some stray invalid code in start_profiler() [Oliver Stoneberg]

Have srcclean add missing newlines to end of .c files [Atari Ace]

Fix the memory leaks with the strconv.c function by using osd_malloc() instead.  Fixed other memory leaks as well.  [Oliver Stoneberg]

"Replaced" TMS5220 table with table extracted using PROMOUT from actual chip. By 'Replaced', I mean documented, as the actual extracted table exactly matched the table already in MAME. Changed TMS5220C to use the same energy table as 5220 does, since my previous assumption based on the Quadravox tables was probably wrong. Updated the ranout condition code of tms5220.c to be slightly more accurate to the chip, and added TODOs. Re-enabled the timers for deactivating the READY line on /WS or /RS as this is probably slightly more accurate to hardware, but the difference is 2 or 3 clock cycles max. [Lord Nightmare]

Fixed linking of chdman.exe and romcmp.exe with Visual Studio. [Oliver Stoneberg]

Fixed incorrect DSK ROM size, shuffled around some ROM mapping, added new ROMs that were incorrectly assumed to be identical to than racedriv. The previously bad ROM checksums are now correct. Now the watchdog resets it instead of getting an address error.  [Luigi30]

Added a screen layout for Space Stranger based on photos [M.A.S.H]

Added redumped sound ROM to Vs. Net Soccer (vsnetscr) [Team Japump]

Disable many unused variables as identifed by cppcheck. [Oliver Stoneberg]

Naomi: Added rounding to the GD-ROM DMA transfers, will be need for Virtua Tennis to make it boot [Deunan Knute, Angelo Salese]

AICA updates: [PluginNinja]
* Implemented slot monitor
* Improved ADPCM looping
* General cleanup

SCSP updates [PluginNinja]
* Improved slot monitor function
* Various cleanups

cdrom: correct header length for form 2 raw sectors [R. Belmont]

namcos23: Mirror, mirror v2 [A. Giles, O. Galibert]

Naomi: implemented mahjong panel support [Angelo Salese]

TMS5220: Made /READY timing accurate to the real chip as best as possible. Note that on the zaccaria games, possibly due to a bug in the CA2 line handler of the PIA which reads the /READY state, speech usually won't work until midway through the first game played, but works fine afterward. Not sure if that's a MAME bug or an original game bug. [Lord Nightmare]

Replaced the DEBUG_FRAME_DUMP define with a new DEBUG_PARSE_FRAME_DUMP which produces binary listings of each frame parsed. [Lord Nightmare]

Added newer Area51: Site 4 BIOS. [Guru]

sega system16 and later: first pass in the conversion of video ICs to be devices [David Haywood]

Fix swapped stereo in gauntlet and gauntlet 2. Thor (warrior)'s/red player's coin slot is toward the left, and specific sounds for that player (coin insert gong, death ditty, etc) should come from the left speaker, not the right. Verified with schematics. TODO: merge gauntlet audio into atarijsa.c since the gauntlet audio hardware is clearly the direct ancestor of the Atari JSA-i audio board, and currently is missing most of the chip specific volume controls, etc which are already implemented in atarijsa.c. [Lord Nightmare]

Improved Killing Blade encrypted DMA mode 3 [XingXing, David Haywood]

vrender0.c: converted to be a device [Fabio Priuli]

crystal.c: added driver data class [Fabio Priuli]

Improved DMA modes 1+2 in killbld, allowing all DMA operations used by the game to work and the RAM dump to be removed [XingXing, David Haywood]

added save states to the following CPU: apexc, asap, avr8, cp1610, dsp32 and f8 [Fabio Priuli]

Documentation improvements to the Sega Naomi HW games [f205v]

Added a protection RAM dump for Dragon World 3 [XingXing]

Added a delay to the GDROM DMA transfers, allows KOF Neowave to boot [Angelo Salese]

Redumped one program rom in Killing Blade [XingXing, David Haywood]

Hook up the ym2151 reset bit to the sound cpu in gauntlet, and fixed sound reset to properly reset all the sound chips and volume latches. [Lord Nightmare]

Fix race condition involving tms52xx status register which broke victory/victorba self test. Updated debug routines a bit, and improved the non-NORMALMODE a bit. [Lord Nightmare]

Improvements to Pachifever driver [Tomasz Slanina, maruwa]
* replaced ic48.50 ROM with correct dump
* added correct MSM clock value
* added second SN76489A chip (used for sfx)
* updated hw notes

Cleaned up ranout (FIFO running out mid-frame) to be accurate to hardware; Cleaned up talk status clearing to be more accurate to hardware; Cleaned up parse_frame function significantly. Added some more comments. [Lord Nightmare]

aristmk4: Hooked up the two AY8910s [Fr45h3r]

snes_snd: fix Linux 64-bit compile issues [R. Belmont]

Naomi: Improved the YUV FIFO IRQ firing, now it should be possible to emulate the YUV decoding properly [Angelo Salese]

PGM: added support for newer bios ROM [XingXing]

Corrected mask ROM numbers for HOTD2 [f205v]

Fix ZPAR (zeroed k parameters 5-10) behavior for unvoiced frames. Updated comments and debug functions. [Lord Nightmare]

Naomi: work-around for an int32 overflow bug in the renderer, makes The House of the Dead 2 / The Typing of the Dead to not crash during attract mode [Angelo Salese]

Naomi: improved Vblank-In irq timings [Angelo Salese]

Redid parameter interpolation and frame load logic so new frames don't immediately force all the Energy/Pitch/K values to the values of the old frame, but wait until their first interpolation to do so. This fix improves speech quality considerably. [Lord Nightmare]

Naomi: implemented RTC start-up values [Angelo Salese]

astrocorp.c: Added PCB layout and board information for the Skill Drop Georgia set [Brian Troha]

Source Changes
--------------
New Lucky 8 Lines hardware: [Roberto Fresca]
* Added lamps support to lucky8, lucky8a, lucky8b, ns8liner, ns8linew and kkojnoli.
* Created lamps layout for the above sets.
* New inputs for ns8linew. This set has a second set of inputs, and can be switched between them. No lamps activity or Big/Small buttons are present while this alternative controls are used. Maybe is a leftover.
* Some DIP switches were figured out. Coinage and limits are still a real mystery since all DIP switches are reflected in the test mode.
* Remapped inputs to be straightforward with the control panel.
* Added the type (W-4/F-5) to the sets description.
* General inputs clean-up.

suna8.c: Updated documentation for Strike Fighter to include the game number, PCB number and epoxy CPU [Fabrizio Vasile]

Jaguar: fixed RGB VARMOD mode [Angelo Salese]

namcops2: add DVD image for taiko10 [Guru]

Added DIP Locations for all games in the jack.c driver.  Changed copyright on joinem to match displayed year.  [Tafoid]

More cleanup of the lpc tables; Replaced tms5220C pitch table with the tms5220 one as that one is more likely to be correct. [Lord Nightmare]

Add 'Unrealistically Perfect Interpolation' debug mode; Fix a potential issue with 16 bit overflow in the lattice filter; Made idle state emulation more accurate to real chip; Clean out variables before VSM speech starts; Mask out low 4 bits of 14 bit lattice result before output. [Lord Nightmare]

Fix a mistake in the interpolation logic, it should now properly delay interpolation until the final cycle of each frame when INHIBIT is set. [Lord Nightmare]

tms5220: Remove unnecessary interpolation code; Add extra check to make unvoiced mode trigger at the correct sample. [Lord Nightmare]

Fixed up tms52xx clip/wrap function arrangement to be much more sane, and properly handled range extension. [Lord Nightmare]

Made tms5220 DEBUG_GENERATION more useful and simplified the code in the process. [Lord Nightmare]

S2650_SENSE_PORT is now active when data written is != 0 and inactive when data == 0. It now acts as a line in a mame-sense. [Couriersud]

btime: Background vertical offset was off by one pixel, burger parts positions are correct now. This also means Peter Pepper awkwardly walks in the air, which is the way it is on the PCB. [hap]

fixed ROM names of tp84a (tp84 needs confirmation) [Team Japump]

Fixed hunchbkg ports. [Couriersud]

sprtmtch: Added Intermissions dipswitch [David Bain]

Reworked rendering in toaplan2 to render tilemaps / sprites in a single pass, should be more accurate to hardware. Note, this further breaks the mixing in Batsugun and Dogyuun because the previous hacks can no longer work with the new rendering code.

Source Changes
--------------
A small update for the YM2610 core, which resets the PCM and Delta-T memory regions when the chip is reset.  This is needed for MESS, where being able to change the size and existence of the sample regions on the Neo Geo AES is necessary for the sound to work right, especially for games that don't have a specific Delta-T region.  [Barry Rodewald]

Increased number of coinslots to 12, and tilt inputs to 4, required by in-progress gambling driver [David Haywood]

Fixed various hangs and NVRAM init in the Model 2 driver [Angelo Salese]

Add partial decrypt function for vortex (0x0000-0x1FFF is decrypted properly, 0x4000-0x5FFF is probably not), still much work to be done especially regarding memory maps (which are affected by the epoxy block address inverts as well). [Lord Nightmare, The Dumping Union]

Massive Space Invaders related comment update, documenting various sets, and the various Taito PCBs used by Space Invaders/Tabletop SI/Tabletop SI Color/Tabletop SI II/etc. [Andrew Welburn, Lord Nightmare]

Hooked up color prom in Kick Boy [Angelo Salese]

Defined two new casting helpers: [Aaron Giles]

  downcast<type>(value) should be used for safe and efficient downcasting from a base class to a derived class. It wraps static_cast<> by adding an assert that a matching dynamic_cast<> returns the same result in debug builds.

  crosscast<type>(value) should be used for safe casting from one type to another in multiple inheritance scenarios. It compiles to a dynamic_cast<> plus an assert on the result. Since it does not optimize down to static_cast<>, you should prefer downcast<> over crosscast<> when you can.

Redefined running_device to be a proper C++ class (now called device_t). Same for device_config (still called device_config). All devices and device_configs must now be derived from these base classes. This means each device type now has a pair of its own unique classes that describe the device. Drivers are encouraged to use the specific device types instead of the generic running_device or device_t classes. Drivers that have a state class defined in their header file are encouraged to use initializers off the constructor to locate devices. [Aaron Giles]

Removed the following fields from the device and device configuration classes as they never were necessary or provided any use: device class, device family, source file, version, credits. [Aaron Giles]

Added templatized variant of machine->device() which performs a downcast as part of the device fetch. Thus machine->device<timer_device>("timer") will locate a device named "timer", downcast it to a timer_device, and assert if the downcast fails. [Aaron Giles]

Removed most publically accessible members of running_device/device_t in favor of inline accessor functions. The only remaining public member is machine. Thus all references to device->type are now device->type(), etc. [Aaron Giles]

Created a number of device interface classes which are designed to be mix- ins for the device classes, providing specific extended functionality and information. There are standard interface classes for sound, execution, state, nvram, memory, and disassembly. Devices can opt into 0 or more of these classes. [Aaron Giles]

Converted the classic CPU device to a standard device that uses the execution, state, memory, and disassembly interfaces. Used this new class (cpu_device) to implement the existing CPU device interface. In the future it will be possible to convert each CPU core to its own device type, but for now they are still all CPU devices with a cpu_type() that specifies exactly which kind of CPU. [Aaron Giles]

Created a new header devlegcy.h which wraps the old device interface using some special template classes. To use these with an existing device, simply remove from the device header the DEVICE_GET_INFO() declaration and the #define mapping the ALL_CAPS name to the DEVICE_GET_INFO. In their place #include "devlegcy.h" and use the DECLARE_LEGACY_DEVICE() macro. In addition, there is a DECLARE_LEGACY_SOUND_DEVICE() macro for wrapping existing sound devices into new-style devices, and a DECLARE_LEGACY_NVRAM_DEVICE() for wrapping NVRAM devices. Also moved the token and inline_config members to the legacy device class, as these are not used in modern devices. [Aaron Giles]

Converted the standard base devices (VIDEO_SCREEN, SPEAKER, and TIMER) from legacy devices to the new C++ style. Also renamed VIDEO_SCREEN to simply SCREEN. The various global functions that were previously used to access information or modify the state of these devices are now replaced by methods on the device classes. Specifically:

  video_screen_configure()             == screen->configure()
  video_screen_set_visarea()           == screen->set_visible_area()
  video_screen_update_partial()        == screen->update_partial()
  video_screen_update_now()            == screen->update_now()
  video_screen_get_vpos()              == screen->vpos()
  video_screen_get_hpos()              == screen->hpos()
  video_screen_get_vblank()            == screen->vblank()
  video_screen_get_hblank()            == screen->hblank()
  video_screen_get_width()             == screen->width()
  video_screen_get_height()            == screen->height()
  video_screen_get_visible_area()      == screen->visible_area()
  video_screen_get_time_until_pos()    == screen->time_until_pos()
  video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_start() == screen->time_until_vblank_start()
  video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_end() == screen->time_until_vblank_end()
  video_screen_get_time_until_update() == screen->time_until_update()
  video_screen_get_scan_period()       == screen->scan_period()
  video_screen_get_frame_period()      == screen->frame_period()
  video_screen_get_frame_number()      == screen->frame_number()

  timer_device_adjust_oneshot()        == timer->adjust()
  timer_device_adjust_periodic()       == timer->adjust()
  timer_device_reset()                 == timer->reset()
  timer_device_enable()                == timer->enable()
  timer_device_enabled()               == timer->enabled()
  timer_device_get_param()             == timer->param()
  timer_device_set_param()             == timer->set_param()
  timer_device_get_ptr()               == timer->get_ptr()
  timer_device_set_ptr()               == timer->set_ptr()
  timer_device_timeelapsed()           == timer->time_elapsed()
  timer_device_timeleft()              == timer->time_left()
  timer_device_starttime()             == timer->start_time()
  timer_device_firetime()              == timer->fire_time()

Updated all drivers that use the above functions to fetch the specific device type (timer_device or screen_device) and call the appropriate method. [Aaron Giles]

Changed machine->primary_screen and the 'screen' parameter to VIDEO_UPDATE to specifically pass in a screen_device object. [Aaron Giles]

Defined a new custom interface for the Z80 daisy chain. This interface behaves like the standard interfaces, and can be added to any device that implements the Z80 daisy chain behavior. Converted all existing Z80 daisy chain devices to new-style devices that inherit this interface. [Aaron Giles]

Changed the way CPU state tables are built up. Previously, these were data structures defined by a CPU core which described all the registers and how to output them. This functionality is now part of the state interface and is implemented via the device_state_entry class. Updated all CPU cores which were using the old data structure to use the new form. The syntax is currently awkward, but will be cleaner for CPUs that are native new devices. [Aaron Giles]

Converted the okim6295 and eeprom devices to the new model. These were necessary because they both require multiple interfaces to operate and it didn't make sense to create legacy device templates for these single cases. (okim6295 needs the sound interface and the memory interface, while eeprom requires both the nvram and memory interfaces). [Aaron Giles]

Changed parameters in a few callback functions from pointers to references in situations where they are guaranteed to never be NULL. [Aaron Giles]

Removed MDRV_CPU_FLAGS() which was only used for disabling a CPU. Changed it to MDRV_DEVICE_DISABLE() instead. Updated drivers. [Aaron Giles]

Reorganized the token parsing for machine configurations. The core parsing code knows how to create/replace/remove devices, but all device token parsing is now handled in the device_config class, which in turn will make use of any interface classes or device-specific token handling for custom token processing. [Aaron Giles]

Moved many validity checks out of validity.c and into the device interface classes. For example, address space validation is now part of the memory interface class. [Aaron Giles]

Changed emualloc to free resource pools from earliest to latest so that early objects can safely clean up stuff they allocated. [Aaron Giles]

Changed device name from an overridable function to a parameter passed to the device_config constructor. In situations where the proper name is not known at construction time, a generic name can be specified and then overridden later once the configuration is complete. [Aaron Giles]

Decapped 89C51 MCU in Real Battle Mahjong King [Dr. Decapitator, Guru]

metro.c: Added Puzzlet's MCU internal ROM. Zilog Z8 8-bit family MCU requires a new CPU core to be written. [Dr. Decapitator]

Hooked up Renegade 68705 MCU [Phil Bennett, Dr. Decapitator]

Made redufo Artic version the parent and bootleg version a clone [hap]

Hooked up Xain d'Sleena/Solar Warrior 68705 MCU [Phil Bennett, Dr. Decapitator]

Hooked up Slap Fight/Alcon 68705 MCU [Phil Bennett, Dr. Decapitator]

Hooked up MCUs for Tough Turf (US) and Wrestle War; removed Wrestle War MCU simulation. [Aaron Giles, Dr. Decapitator]

cps2.c: Correct the release order for the Xmen: Cota (Hispanic) sets [gregf]

Made the machine_config a proper object. Added detokenize method to this object which can be called multiple times to append new devices after the initial machine configuration is set up. Updated member variables to match new naming convention. [Aaron Giles]

Changed the running_machine to take a constructed machine_config object in the constructor, instead of creating one itself, for consistency. Also added machine->total_colors() as a shortcut to machine->config->m_total_colors. [Aaron Giles]

firetrap.c: Added PCB documentation, corrected ROM names, corrected clocks [Guru]

idsoccer: Improved DIP locations, confirmed MSM5205 clock [Kevin Eshbach]

Fixed title screen colors in Bogey Manor [Angelo Salese, Stefan Lindberg]

Modified way device_type constants are defined in order to get unidasm compile [Miodrag Milanovic]

Changed autmoon (aristmk4) romload to proper crc/sha hashes.  The submitted romset contained a 32kb (u87.bin) which actually appeared to be an 8k overdumped. [Tafoid]

slapfght.c: Corrected rom names for the Slap Fight sets and added PCB locations to any set where possible. Added Dipswitch locations to Slap Fight.  Moved PCB information down to matching rom sets. [Brian Troha, Guru]

Split mame.c into mame.c and machine.c, the latter containing the running_machine definition and implementation. [Aaron Giles]

Moved global machine-level operations and accessors into methods on the running_machine class. For the most part, this doesn't affect drivers except for a few occasional bits: [Aaron Giles]

  mame_get_phase() == machine->phase()
  add_reset_callback() == machine->add_notifier(MACHINE_NOTIFY_RESET, ...)
  add_exit_callback() == machine->add_notifier(MACHINE_NOTIFY_EXIT, ...)
  mame_get_base_datetime() == machine->base_datetime()
  mame_get_current_datetime() == machine->current_datetime()

Cleaned up the region_info class, removing most global region accessors except for memory_region() and memory_region_length(). Again, this doesn't generally affect drivers. [Aaron Giles]

Resurrect the old sampling profiler, and improve it to be useful: [Aaron Giles]
* always available now, just specify -profile <n> to enable it
* supports stack walking to uniquely identify call chains; the <n> parameter to the -profile option specifies how deep to go
* automatically turns off throttling and multithreading, and sets the number of processors available to 1 (since we only sample the main thread)
* output now uses the common symbol lookup, which actually uses the PDB for MSVC builds and sym files for gcc builds
* the top 30 unique call chains are output

Fix performance regression for PowerPC games. The timing made heavy use of cpu_get_total_cycles() which is now slow. Better to use the legacy_cpu_device directly and call device->total_cycles() which avoids the dynamic_cast to find the execute interface from a generic device. [Aaron Giles]

Added cycles_to_attotime() and attotime_to_cycles() which is more often what is requested. (Clocks are the raw input clock, while cycles are internal clock after dividers/multipliers.) [Aaron Giles]

Removed most other instances of cpu_get_total_cycles. [Aaron Giles]

Removed the following functions: [Aaron Giles]
  cpu_get_total_cycles()   == cpudevice->total_cycles()
  cpu_clocks_to_attotime() == cpudevice->cycles_to_attotime()
  cpu_attotime_to_clocks() == cpudevice->attotime_to_cycles()

Correct dipswitch location order in World Rally to match actual dips as seen by the game / service menu. [Brian Troha]

namcos22.c: updated ridgerac, raveracw and acedrvrw to use keys instead of dipswitches for shifters [Fabio Priuli]

Added COPX romloading for sets that didn't have it, marked as BAD_DUMP until the assumption that they're the same is (un)confirmed. [hap]

Winmain cleanup: [Aaron Giles]
* created dynamic_bind<> template class to handle dynamically binding to optionally-supported functions
* wrapped stack walking code in a class
* wrapped symbol lookup code in a class
* added support for parsing objdump-produced symbol dumps which include non-global functions for much better stack dumps and profiling in gcc builds

Modified makefile for win32 targets to automatically run objdump and produce a .sym file if SYMBOLS is enabled. [Aaron Giles]

Update cheat loading to support image devices (moved implementation from MESS), use only CRC of first found image. [Miodrag Milanovic]

Removed cpu_get_sp(). [Aaron Giles]

Added overrides to fetch the execute, memory and state interfaces without doing a dynamic_cast<> to speed up common legacy operations. [Aaron Giles]

Created CPU-specific device types for all CPUs, using new macros DECLARE_LEGACY_CPU_DEVICE and DEFINE_LEGACY_CPU_DEVICE. Changed CPUs to be their own device types, rather than all of type CPU with a special internal subtype. Note that as part of this process I removed the CPU_ prefix from the ALL-CAPS device name, so CPU_Z80 is just plain old Z80 now. This required changing a couple of names like 8080 to I8080 so that there was an alphabetic first character. [Aaron Giles]

Hooked up Heavy Barrel I8751 MCU [Bryan McPhail, Dr. Decapitator]

[cb2001] added 2 new opcodes [robiza]

Hooked up Gondomania I8751 MCU [Bryan McPhail, Dr. Decapitator]

Reimplemented Meikyuu Hunter G I8751 MCU according to schematics [Bryan McPhail]

Software list update: [Wilbert Pol]
- Software list xml files are now read in full such that information for clone and parent sets is available.
- Added validity check to check for existence of parent sets.

Imported image related utils from MESS into /lib/util [Miodrag Milanovic]

Improved video emulation in cb2001 [David Haywood]

Added support for Sega 317-5000 decryption (same as 315-5177).
Reorganised decryption code. [Nicola Salmoria]

Moved debugging structure away from CPUs only and attached to all devices. Debugger now creates one for each device. C++-ified most debugger operations to hang off the debugging class, and updated most callers. [Aaron Giles]

Got rid of cpu_count, cpu_first, cpu_next, etc. as they were badly broken. Also removed cpu_is_executing, cpu_is_suspended, cpu_get_local_time, and cpu_abort_timeslice. [Aaron Giles]

Software list improvements: [Miodrag Milanovic]
- Support for multiple software list per driver
- Added MDRV_SOFTWARE_LIST_COMPATIBLE_ADD for adding compatible software lists (for documentation purposes) [Miodrag Milanovic]
- listsoftware option now return only original software lists
- UI is updated to enable mounting software items per device, it will display only items from list that are for specific device
- Separate compatible software lists in UI

Source Changes
--------------
raiden2.c: Add missing "VOICE2" sample rom to Raiden 2 sets where it was missing.  Corrected rom names for MASK roms soldered to the PCB. [Brian Troha]

Southern Systems Joker Poker: Added missing CPU IO map to the machine driver. This allow boot the game and enter into the attract mode. [Roberto Fresca]

Mini Boy 7 improvements: [Roberto Fresca]
* Added a new complete set. Now set as parent.
* Corrected Xtal frequency.
* Mapped the PIA MC6821 (not wired since is not totally understood).
* Preliminary attempt to decode the color PROM.
* Mapped the AY-3-8910, but still needs ports and some checks.
* Added debug and technical notes.

New driver for Mega Double Poker, from Blitz System Inc. [Roberto Fresca]
* Initial release.
* Preliminary memory map.
* Hooked both PIAs, but need more analysis to confirm the offsets.
* Accurate graphics and color decode.
* Added main PCB and daughterboard layouts.
* Added partial docs and diagrams about the CPU/MCU/ROMs addressing.
* Added debug and technical notes.

Added Magic Train, from Subsino. Since it's driven by a HD647180X0CP6 (Subsino - SS9600) plus SS9601 and SS9602 (for video and I/O respectively), it's possible that needs to be moved to a new driver in a near future. Also added technical notes. [Roberto Fresca]

mpu4drvr.c: Fixed mid-screen palette updates [David Haywood]

segas16b.c: Documented the Sega game ID for the Heavyweight Champ rom board as well as corrected the rom names. [Brian Troha]

Return to type safety. Changed address maps back into functions that build up the definition, rather than the whole tokenizing system, which lost type checking. Added a new module addrmap.c which implements the address map classes, and changed the macros to call methods on the address_map and address_map_entry classes which are strongly typed. Fixed a few incorrectly specified memory map entries along the way in twincobr.c, lordgun.c, galaxold.c. [Aaron Giles]

More API cleanup: [Aaron Giles]
* removed cputag_clocks_to_attotime() and cputag_attotime_to_clocks() in favor of just expanding the class
* same for cputag_suspend() and cputag_resume()

Fix crash when exiting the debugger if breakpoints are set. [Aaron Giles]

The dsp561xx CPU core now generates accurate disassembly for Konami Polygonet hardware (verified against Motorola's reference disassembler). [Andrew Gardner, Stiletto]

Fixed image device error handling [ShimaPong, Miodrag Milanovic]

Defined new class driver_data_t, which all driver_data classes must derive from. Updated all class definitions to inherit from the new class, and to call it in the constructor. Also changed the alloc() signature to return a driver_data_t pointer instead of a void *. Renamed and hid machine->driver_data as machine->m_driver_data. Added a new templatized method machine->driver_data<class> which returns a properly downcast'ed version of the driver data. Updated all code which looked like this:

  mydriver_state *state = (mydriver_state *)machine->driver_data;

to this:

  mydriver_state *state = machine->driver_data<mydriver_state>();

The new function does a downcast<> which in debug builds dynamically verifies that you're actually casting to the right type. [Aaron Giles]

Changed atarigen_state to be a base class from which all the related Atari drivers derive their state from. [Aaron Giles]

Removed global variables from gaelco, namco, and nile sound cores. [Atari Ace]

Converted seta.c, seta2.c, and ssv.c to driver_data. [Atari Ace]

Updated SAA5050 to form 12x20 chars as noted in documentation. Updated malzak driver to support SAA5050 changes. [Miodrag Milanovic]

taitotz: add HDD image for Battle Gear 2 (2.04J) [gtbb08, R. Belmont]

namcoic.c: Fixed incorrect road colours in tceptor2, finallap and others [Phil Bennett]

Fixed road transparency in Thunder Ceptor [Phil Bennett]

Fixed Z80 SIO interrupts by clearing them at constructor time so Z80 daisy chain works properly and doesn't stall on a non-existant IEO condition. [Curt Coder]

Z80 DMA changes: [Curt Coder]
- Fixed DMA by re-adding a status update call to ENABLE DMA command
- Allowed illegal mode 0 DMA operation since trs80m2 in MESS is abusing this
- Fixed ready signal handling by adding a check for ready condition on each byte

Started converting the Toaplan2 VDP into a device [David Haywood]

dsp56k : Hooked up new execution engine. [Andrew Gardner]

plygonet.c : Updates Polygonet driver to use driver_data class. [Atari Ace]

More refactoring to the Toaplan 2 / GP9001 VDP device [David Haywood]

CPS-1 update [Team CPS-1]:
* Expanded and updated games table in video\cps1.c
* Confirmed B-Board # for 3wondersu, varth
* Fixed labels in ghouls, ghoulsu to match real pcbs
* Removed 14.bin in dynwarj, it was a bad dump
* Marked nm_23.12b in nemoj BAD_DUMP
* Removed knightsja set (roms were split & hacked to work on a suicided board)
* Added roms relationship between parent/clones where missing

dsp56k.c : Remove globals from dsp56k cpu core. [AtariAce]

cps1.c: Documentation update for some CPS1 sets (B-Board chip information) verified via Team Japump PCB photos. [Brian Troha]

Improved memory banking in Puzzle Star (Sang Ho Soft) [Mariusz Wojcieszek]

Fixed term2 (rev. LA4) freeze during the Cyberdyne stage opening cinematic [Phil Bennett]

Merged aladbl.c and ssf2md.c to create genesisb.c [Sonikos]

video/astrocde.c: Limited the number of timers potentially produced by astrocade_trigger_lightpen() [ranger_lennier]

cps1.c: Set correct B-Board mapper for "resale" kits.  This fixes missing graphics in Area 88 (Japan Resale). [Brian Troha]

Rewritten I/O device r/w accesses in Acorn Archimedes/Aristocrat MK-5 [Angelo Salese]

Added missing save-state registration entries to the SH-2 core [Phil Bennett]

Converted address_space to a class, and moved most members behind accessor methods, apart from space->machine and space->cpu. Removed external references to 8le/8be/16le/16be/32le/32be/64le/64be. All external access is now done via virtual functions read_byte()/read_word()/etc. Moved differentiation between the endianness and the bus width internal to memory.c, and also added a new axis to support small/large address spaces, which allows for faster lookups on spaces smaller than 18 bits. [Aaron Giles]

Provided methods for most global memory operations within the new address_space class. Updated callers to use these instead of the old global functions. [Aaron Giles]

Created new module delegate.h which implements C++ delegates in a form that works for MAME. Details are in the opening comment. Delegates allow member functions of certain classes to be used as callbacks, which will hopefully be the beginning of the end of fetching the driver_data field in most callbacks. All classes that host delegates must derive from bindable_object. Today, all devices and driver_data do implicitly via their base class. [Aaron Giles]

Added an alternate set of address map macros. Now, if you #define ADDRESS_MAP_MODERN prior to #including "emu.h", you will get the new macros, which have the following properties: [Aaron Giles]
* ADDRESS_MAP_START takes a 4th parameter, which is the name of the driver_data class the other macros will reference
* AM_READ/AM_WRITE/etc. all assume you are providing method names off of the driver_data class you originally specified
* AM_READ_LEGACY/AM_WRITE_LEGACY macros are provided for calling global static functions of yore
* AM_BASE/AM_SIZE all assume you are providing member names off of the driver_Data class
* AM_BASE_LEGACY/AM_SIZE_LEGACY are provided to reference globals if necessary

Defined delegates for read/write handlers. The new delegates are always passed an address_space reference, along with offset, data, and mask. Delegates can refer to methods either in the driver_data class or in a device class. To specify a delegate in an address map, you must #define ADDRESS_MAP_MODERN before including emu.h, at which point the AM_READ/AM_WRITE macros will require member function pointers into your driver_data class. Delegates that are specified in an address map are proto-delegates which have no object; they are bound to their object when the corresponding address_space is created. [Aaron Giles]

Added machine->m_nonspecific_space which can be passed as the required address_space parameter to the new read/write methods in legacy situations where the space is not provided. Eventually this can go away but we will need it for a while yet. [Aaron Giles]

Added methods to the new address_space class to dynamically install delegates just like you can dynamically install handlers today. Delegates installed this way must be pre-bound to their object. [Aaron Giles]

Moved beathead's read/write handlers into members of beathead_state as an example of using the new delegates. This provides examples of both static (via an address_map) and dynamic (via install_handler calls) mapping using delegates. [Aaron Giles]

Changed the DIRECT_UPDATE_CALLBACKs into delegates as well. Updated all users to the new function format. Added methods on direct_read_data for configuring the parameters in a standard way to make the implementation clearer. Updated all users. [Aaron Giles]

Created a simple_list template container class for managing the common singly-linked lists we use all over in the project. [Aaron Giles]

Replaced "const address_space" with "address_space" throughout the system. The purpose of making it const before was to discourage direct tampering, but private/protected does a better job of that anyhow, and it is annoying now. [Aaron Giles]

neodrvr.c updates: [Johnboy]
* Renamed the following sets: sengokh -> sengokuh, fatfursa -> fatfurspa, shocktra -> shocktroa kof99 -> kof99h, kof99a -> kof99
* Removed wh2j (only diff. C-ROM arrangement; same data)
* Added correct m1 to sengoku3
* Corrected ROM_REGION "maincpu" for . twinspri, ghostlop, aof2, aof2a, fightfev, fightfeva
* Added correct p1 ROM to irrmaze

Changed GP9001 (toaplan VDP device) to use DEVICE_SELF [David Haywood]

Added 3 Bags Full - 5VXFC790 (Victorian). Set is now parent. Replaced the bad dumped GFX from NZ set with the new ones, since they match 4 of 6 bitplanes. [Roberto Fresca]

Improvements to calomega.c driver [Roberto Fresca]
* Added Game 24.0 (Gaming Draw Poker, hold). The game is playable.
* Added missing 50/60Hz output frequency selector to systems 903-905. However, I dunno how it looks physically (switch/jumper/bridge?)
* Injected missing start and NMI vectors to comg080 (Arcade Black Jack), from an exhaustive program ROM analysis / reverse engineering. The game now starts ok and is triggering proper NMI's.
* Inputs from the scratch for comg080 (Arcade Black Jack).
* Added workaround to pass the vector-check protection.
* Reworked the lamps circuitry by system-basis.
* Updated games list and technical notes.
* Promoted comg080 (Arcade Black Jack) to working state.
* Added support for system 906III:
* Accurate memory map, CRTC, and PIAs mapped.
* Preliminary PIAs support (no multiplexion yet).
* Added proper machine driver, with correct R65C02 CPU.
* Documented the hardware specs.
* Added Game 51.08 (CEI Video Poker, Jacks or Better), running in CEI 906III hardware. The game is not working.

Various sm8500 CPU core fixes [Robbbert]

Improvements to CEI 906 III system. [Roberto Fresca]
* Corrected docs about the 906III memory map.
* Mapped the AY8912.
* Added AY8912 proper interfase. Tied SW2 to AY8912 port.
* PIA0, portA is polled constantly. Tied some debug handlers to understand how the input system works.
* Added notes about the PIAs R/W.

Clear Z80 DART interrupts at constructor time. [Curt Coder]

Imported the Hitachi HCD62121 CPU core from MESS. [Curt Coder]

crospang, heuksun, bestri (crospang.c) [stephh] :
* Improved Dip Switches (after verification of the M68000 code)

Expanded the Z80-DART interface to allow future implementation of Z80-SIO features: [Curt Coder]

Toaplan2: Attempted to implement dual VDP mixing with the equations provided by Quench, doesn't yet work [David Haywood]

added correct GFX roms for Gang Wars, renamed bootleg set as Euro set (and new parent),made note about bootleg GFX roms [David Raingeard]

Documented unemulated protection in Super Champion Baseball, marked the game with GAME_UNEMULATED_PROTECTION due of that [Angelo Salese]

segaic16.c: Treat unsupported read and write accesses to defined devices/memory as open-bus reads or unmapped writes instead of falling through to the memory-mapping registers [Phil Bennett]

Added mask-free versions of read_word/read_dword/read_qword to address_space. Also added unaligned variants that can read unaligned values. Rewrote the core handler as a template that handles all cases, along with a simple unit test to verify that everything is correct. [Aaron Giles]

Updated 68k, v60, i86, and nec cores to use unaligned read/ write instead of their own stubs for handling misalinged reads. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed memory management of ga2 decryption. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed Toaplan2 VDP mixing in Batsugun [David Haywood]

* aafb: Added missing 03-28008.u93 GFX ROM
* aafbb: Marked 24015-02.u59 BAD_DUMP and demoted set to GAME_NOT_WORKING

Declared virtual functions in driver_data_t for:
* machine_start, machine_reset
* sound_start, sound_reset
* palette_init, video_start, video_reset, video_update, video_eof The default implementations of these call through the machine configuration's functions as before. However, if a driver_data_t overrides them, it will be called instead. [Aaron Giles]

Also added virtual functions for pre_save() and post_load(), which can be overridden to implement machine driver-specific pre-save/post-load functionality instead of registering with the save state system. [Aaron Giles]

Updated beathead to use these new virtual functions instead of specifying callbacks in the MACHINE_DRIVER. [Aaron Giles]

CPS-1 update [Team CPS-1]:
* Added proper willowj roms to match real pcb, it was using incorrect roms copied from parent set
* Added an old pcb rev of knightsj, using split roms
* Added an old pcb rev of kodj, using split roms
* Added newer Street Fighter II CE set

naomi.c: Added information about the Namco MASK B-F2X cartridge [f205v]

Improved sound in Erotictac / Poizone [Angelo Salese, Phil Bennett]

De-converted MACHINE_DRIVER from tokens back to constructor functions, regaining type safety. If legacy devices still use inline data, those types are not checked. However, new devices no longer have access to the generic m_inline_data. Instead their MDRV_* macros should map to calls to static functions in the device config class which downcast a generic device_config to the specific device config, and then set the appropriate values. This is not to be done inline in order to prevent further code bloat in the constructors. See eeprom/7474/i2cmem/okim6295 for examples. [Aaron Giles]

Source Changes
--------------
mc6845.c: Rewritten to allow mid frame changes to the counter registers. This enables drivers to use advanced split screen and scrolling effects using a regular mc6845. [Wilbert Pol]

Changed the MACHINE_DRIVER_* macros, as follows: [Aaron Giles]

  1. Renamed MACHINE_DRIVER_* to MACHINE_CONFIG_* to match the name of the object it actually describes. The MDRV_* prefix may eventually be bulk updated at some point, but not now.

  2. MACHINE_CONFIG_START() now takes a driver_data_t-derived class as a required second parameter. This means that MDRV_DRIVER_DATA() is no longer required, and every "root" machine config *must* specify a driver data class (or driver_data_t itself if the driver has not yet been updated to use driver data).

  3. New MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED() macro defines a machine_config that is derived from another machine_config. This takes the place of the very typical MACHINE_DRIVER_START()/MDRV_IMPORT_FROM() combination.

  4. New MACHINE_CONFIG_FRAGMENT() macro defines a partial machine_config that can only be included in another "root" machine_config. This is also used for machine_configs that are specified as part of a device.

  5. Changed MDRV_IMPORT_FROM() to MDRV_FRAGMENT_ADD() to more accurately describe what is happening.

  6. Added asserts to the above three macros to ensure they are properly used.

Updated all machine drivers to use the new macros. Search & replace lists below cover 99% of the changes, with just a few manual fixups. [Aaron Giles]

timer.c: timers get rescheduled only if enable state has changed [Christophe Jaillet]

bfm_dm01 improvements: replaced the video screen hack used for the
dotmatrix display with a more accurate, artwork-based version. The
BFM_DM01 clocks data in one byte at a time, and the new dotmatrix
render object represents the 8 dots powered by each byte. [AGEMAME]

aristmk4.c:
* Cashcade workaround for topgear [Frasher]
* Improved a few memory handlers [Palindrome]

Changed driver_data objects to be devices. Replaced the driver_data_t class with a new driver_device class, which is the base class for all driver_data objects now. The new driver devices are added as the first device in the device list, with a tag of "root"; all other devices are now owned by the driver device. [Aaron Giles]

Moved core callbacks (machine_start/_reset, sound_start/_reset, video_start/_reset/_eof/_update, and palette_init) into device configuration parameters on these new devices. The driver_device base class overrides device_start(), ensures all other devices have been started, and then calls, in order, the following overridable methods:

  1. DRIVER_INIT function from the game driver
  2. palette_init() - by default calls the MDRV_PALETTE_INIT function
  3. driver_start() - new
  4. machine_start() - by default calls the MDRV_MACHINE_START function
  5. sound_start() - by default calls the MDRV_SOUND_START function
  6. video_start() - by default calls the MDRV_VIDEO_START function

Similarly, the driver_device class overrides device_reset() and then calls these methods in order:

  driver_reset() - new
  machine_reset() - by default calls the MDRV_MACHINE_RESET function
  sound_reset() - by default calls the MDRV_SOUND_RESET function
  video_reset() - by default calls the MDRV_VIDEO_RESET function

To accommodate these changes, initialization order is slightly altered from before. The tilemap, video, sound, and debug systems are now initialized prior to the devices' start. And the user callbacks for DRIVER_INIT, PALETTE_INIT, MACHINE_START, SOUND_START, and VIDEO_START are all called back-to-back. The net effect should be similar, however. [Aaron Giles]

Changed device_t::subtag to only prepend a prefix if the device is not the 'root' device, in order to keep compatibility with existing tag searching. [Aaron Giles]

Changed device startup to actively reorder devices when they report missing dependencies. This ensures that the reset functions get called in the same order that the start functions did. [Aaron Giles]

Remove artificial SOUND_ prefix from sound device names. [Atari Ace]

Converted sauro, scotrsht, segald, seicross, senjyo, shangha3, shaolins, shisen, skyraid, solomon, spcforce, speekatk, splash, sprcros2, ssozumo, suna16, suna8 to driver_data. [Atari Ace]

Added include files for all remaining drivers with multiple source files. [Atari Ace]

Corrected or clarified a number of duplicated inputs for drivers up through A  [Tafoid]

Changed driver_device to expose the game_driver's ROMs through the device interface. This means all ROMs are now exposed via devices, and thus the process of enumerating ROMs gets simpler. [Aaron Giles]

Changed all instances of temporarily allocating machine_config objects to just put them on the stack for simplicity, letting the destructor handle the cleanup work automatically. [Aaron Giles]

Changed machine_config constructor to take a game_driver, from which the machine_config constructor is obtained. This also means the resulting machine_config holds a reference to the game_driver. [Aaron Giles]

Changed running_machine constructor to no longer take a game_driver, since the game_driver is now obtainable via the machine_config. [Aaron Giles]

Added two new template classes optional_device<> and required_device<>. Use these to declare the device pointers in the class. The only difference between the two is that required will fatalerror if the device is not found. These new classes are "pass- through" so the underlying pointer can be passed anywhere a regular device pointer would work. [Aaron Giles]

Fix compiling on older GCCs (including OS X PowerPC) [Aaron Giles]

Change shared memory regions to track their size. Added memory_get_shared() functions to retrieve a pointer to a shared region and optionally the size. [Aaron Giles]

pipeline (pipeline.c) [stephh] :
* Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs (after verification of the Z80 code)

Added templates required_shared_ptr<> and optional_shared_ptr<> which work just like required_device<> and optional_device<> for retrieving a pointer by tag from an address space that specifies AM_SHARE("tag"). Also added templates required_shared_size<> and optional_shared_size<> for retrieving the size of the AM_SHARE region. [Aaron Giles]

Created a new generic NVRAM device. It can be configured to default to 0-fill, 1-fill, random-fill, or custom fill. In all cases, a same-named memory region overrides the default fill. The address range where the NVRAM can be found is now identified by an AM_SHARE() region of the same tag as the NVRAM device. Drivers can also explicitly configure a separately-allocated NVRAM region via nvram_device::set_base(). [Aaron Giles]

Replaced all instances of MDRV_NVRAM_HANDLER(generic_*) with MDRV_NVRAM_ADD_*("nvram"). Replaced all AM_BASE_GENERIC/AM_SIZE_GENERIC(nvram) with AM_SHARE("nvram"). For all remaining drivers that referenced the generic.nvram directly, changed them to hold a required_shared_ptr<UINTx> to the NVRAM in their driver state, and use that instead. Removed nvram and nvram_size from the generic_ptrs. [Aaron Giles]

Have each device create its own device_debug instead of letting the debugger do it. This allows the device to start itself up before the debugger tries to figure out what to do with it. Fixes the problem where register names were not populated into the symbol table correctly after I shuffled the initialization order. [Aaron Giles]

multfish.c: Updated driver with new information and several new sets as well as several new bootlegs. [MetalliC]

New driver for Jubilee's Double-Up Poker. Decoded graphics and colors properly. Hooked the correct TMS9980 CPU, added a preliminary memory map and some technical notes. [Roberto Fresca]

Integrated comments into debugcpu.c, and removed debugcmt.c. Modernized the code and updated so it actually works with the modern debug classes. [Aaron Giles]

Added AM_DEVREAD_MODERN/AM_DEVWRITE_MODERN/etc. macros for the non-modern address map case so that updated devices can shed their old-style read/write handlers in favor of member functions. [Aaron Giles]

Bulk converted all okim6295_r/okim6295_w references in the address maps to call to the modern member functions. [Aaron Giles]

quizpani (quizpani.c) [stephh] :
* Improved Dip Switches and fixed Inputs (after verification of the M68000 code)

Renamed namcops2 DVDs to match labels [Guru]

Added read_status() and write_command() methods to the okim6295_device for the common case where these are done outside the context of a read or write handler (it was annoying to pass in the fake address space for these cases). [Aaron Giles]

Added DEVCB_DEVICE_MEMBER() macros which allow you to specify a READ8_MEMBER or WRITE8_MEMBER in a device callback (via dynamically generated trampolines). [Aaron Giles]

Replaced all remaining calls to okim6295_r/okim6295_w with calls to the new methods, and removed the static functions. [Aaron Giles]

namcops2: added dongle dump for Federation vs. Z.A.F.T. [Guru]

Corrected or clarified a number of duplicated inputs for drivers up through C  [Tafoid]

Fixed sprite OV flag behaviour in PC Engine VDC emulation [Angelo Salese, Charles MacDonald]

Corrected or clarified a number of duplicated inputs for drivers up through G  [Tafoid]

Converted ASAP CPU core from a legacy CPU core to a modern device. [Aaron Giles]

Renamed device_execute_interface::m_icount to m_icountptr to avoid commonly-named device values of m_icount. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed a bogus Hu6280 CPU core bug with timer latch division values readings [Angelo Salese]

[SSV] implemented visible area registers; now the resolution for all the games is the max visible area (the values of the registers after the boot process) [Robert Zandona']

Fixed missing VRAM > VRAM DMA flag clearance in PC Engine emulation [Angelo Salese]

strnskil.c: Added MCU dump for banbam. [Pete Ogoun, Andrew Gardner]

Moved sound routing for non-speaker devices over to the sound interface's post-start method. Routing from one sound device to another was broken when sound_init() was moved ahead of device startup. [Aaron Giles]

Removed vestigial NVRAM from starwars, which is now covered by the x2212 device. [Aaron Giles]

CHDMAN: rewrote bin/cue support from specs, more images now work. [R. Belmont]

Removed generic.videoram and generic.videoram_size. These generics have no core use, they are simply there for the convenience of drivers. Now that drivers are required to have devices, the data should move there. [Atari Ace]

Added proper handling of the SRAM in Aristocrat MK-5 [Palindrome]

Removed usage of I2C in Aristocrat MK-5 [Angelo Salese]

Added -bench <emulated-seconds> option to standardize benchmarking. [Aaron Giles]

Added DECLARE/DEFINE_TRIVIAL_DERIVED_DEVICE macros to simplify the definition of devices that are based off of a parent device, but which differ in name and a single parameter. [Aaron Giles]

Convert ADSP21xx core to a modern CPU device. [Aaron Giles]

On Windows, osd_break_into_debugger() will now dump a stack crawl if there's no debugger attached. This means that asserts should have a full crawl now, for easier debugging. [Aaron Giles]

Replaced NVRAM_HANDLER in leland with an NVRAM device. [Aaron Giles]

ssv:
* implemented y tilemap offset register; (Roberto Zandona')
* implemented x and y visible area register; (Roberto Zandona')
* disabled tilemap draw when mode=0; (Roberto Zandona')
* confirmed visible area register with a twin eagle II PCB (Corrado Tomaselli)

Replaced largely redundant NVRAM handlers with NVRAM devices for namcos2 and a bunch of the Nichibutsu mahjong games. Also did it for the Atari games, moving the old hard-coded EEPROM data out into files finally. [Aaron Giles]

Merged ssgbl.c into megadrvb.c and moved bootleg input definitions out of megadriv.c [Sonikos]

Made the mc146818 a proper device, modernized it, and added an NVRAM interface so that drivers don't have to ask it to be manually saved. [Aaron Giles]

Added definitions for [DECLARE_]READ_LINE_MEMBER and [DECLARE_]WRITE_LINE_MEMBER so that read/write line callbacks can be defined as member functions. [Aaron Giles]

Added stubs and new macro DEVCB_DEVICE_LINE_MEMBER to allow these to be referenced from device callbacks. [Aaron Giles]

Modernized the 6522 VIA device: [Aaron Giles]
* changed to use the new device timer mechanism
* removed all trampolines in favor of modern methods

ssv: removed kludge for sprite x offset and implemented 1 bit of 7a-7b register [Roberto Zandona']

ssv:
* implemented y sprite inversion CRT register;
* added a kludge for dynagear
* used CRT registers to get the sprite x offset [Roberto Zandona']

ssv: removed offset values from the init; the offset now are handled by the CRT registers [Roberto Zandona']

ssv: fixed bit #a of 7a-7b CRT register [Roberto Zandona']

Converted intelfsh to a device, updated all users. [Aaron Giles]

ssv: fixed background disable condition [Roberto Zandona']

New build tool makedep.c, derived from src2html.c (really!). Does basic dependency analysis and supports excluding paths. [Aaron Giles]

Makefile now supports a depend target which will run makedep on the src/$(TARGET) tree and create dependencies. It deliberately excludes the root of src/emu as well as the osd directories in order to keep the dependency file down to a reasonable size, so if a core header file changes, you still need to clean and build all. [Aaron Giles]

CHDMAN: improved -extractcd bin/cue output, improved error handling. [R. Belmont]

Added memory interface to the intelfsh device so you can access/view the data in the debugger and via the standard memory interfaces. Removed the old memory() method in favor of new functions read_raw()/write_raw() which do direct reads/writes of the data. [Aaron Giles]

Cleaned up CPS3 No-CD sets to break up the "ROMs" into individual flash pieces which are automatically loaded by the intelfsh device on initialization. Also split the MACHINE_CONFIG to only populate the number of SIMMs actually present for each game, as documented in the top of the file. And replaced the NVRAM_HANDLER with an NVRAM device. [Aaron Giles]

CHDMAN: support for .WAV tracks in bin/cue images [R. Belmont]

neogeo.c: misc updates [Johnboy]
* viewpoint - Renamed v's to correct chip label
* ghostlop - Renamed roms to match proto naming sheme
* savagere, kizuna - Added correct c1
* crsword - Tagged MVS AND AES VERSION, added correct m1
* legendos - Added correct m1

Triple Punch/Knock Out AY-3-8910 clock speed was incorrect, fixed and verified from real hardware. [plgDavid] Verified clocks and oki pin on quiz channel question boardset. [plgDavid]

Added an integral device_timer_id to device timers. This is a cleaner way to differentiate between multiple timers rather than relying on the pointers. These values are also saved with the timers. Updated the few devices using device timers to leverage this. [Aaron Giles]

Added new function device_timer_call_after_resynch() which creates a temporary 0-length timer that calls back through the device's device_timer() method with a given device_timer_id. [Aaron Giles]

Added a function to change the MSM5205 frequency dynamically [Angelo Salese]

Added a set volume function for CD-DA [Angelo Salese]

Source Changes
--------------
- Considerably improved UART communications in the CD-i 68070 implementation, increasing Quizard stability as a result. [Harmony]

Fixed use of the sign bits on the SegaCD Roz parameters, improves the SegaCD intro rotations etc. which now appear correct. Clamp Roz stuff to 24-bit, seems to fix the remaining issues with the Sega logos. [David Haywood]

Moved -effect implementation out of OSD code and into core since the implementations were identical across Windows/SDL and implemented in the core itself. [Aaron Giles]

More Clang fixes (verified OK with GCC) [Balrog]

Correctly free textures when screen size dynamically changes. Fixes texture assert when exiting on a number of games. [Aaron Giles]

Attempt to provide a correct M50458 char rom, used by the Nintendo Super System [Pat Dardenko, Angelo Salese]

Re-worked Quizard MCU communications handling to be more easily expanded. [Harmony]

Convert rendlay objects into C++, reduce the number of unused textures allocated. [Aaron Giles]

Fix texture leak in crsshair.c. [Aaron Giles]

Added new method reset_origin() to screen devices to allow manual synchronization of VBLANK start against an external timing source. Updated the MC6845 device to call reset_origin() on its screen at the start of each frame if a screen is present. [Aaron Giles]

Converted the RCA CDP1802 CPU into a C++ device. Refactored cidelsa.c to use the new RCA COSMAC CPU. [Curt Coder]

Added new devcb type DEVCB_TYPE_DRIVER, which implies the driver_device. [Aaron Giles]

Added new macros DEVCB_DRIVER_LINE_MEMBER and DEVCB_DRIVER_MEMBER to specify member functions of the driver device in callbacks. [Aaron Giles]

Reworked NMK16 irqs by not using cpu_getiloops() function [Angelo Salese]

Fix custom mapping for dsp56k internal memory. [Aaron Giles]

Refactored the CDP1869 chip into a C++ device. [Curt Coder]

Added explicit control handler for the console. Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Break now explicitly terminate the process forcefully, rather than unwinding through the system in an unexpected state. Other console events (exit, shutdown, logoff) request a graceful exit. [Aaron Giles]

Reworked 1942 interrupts by not using cpu_getiloops() function [Angelo Salese]

Removed deprecat.h usage from 1943 driver [Angelo Salese]

Removed deprecat.h usage from 40love driver [Angelo Salese]

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
----------------------
- 04096: [DIP/Input] sjryuko: Most inputs do not work (Angelo Salese)
- 02561: [Interface] Ability to choose a different name for the UI font (Aaron Giles)

Source Changes
--------------
Create new class osd_interface to house OSD callbacks. Added new module osdepend.c with default empty implementations. Changed mame_execute() and cli_execute() to accept a reference to an osd_interface which is provided by the caller. [Aaron Giles]

Updated SDL and Windows OSD to create an osd_interface-derived class and moved their OSD callbacks to be members. [Aaron Giles]

Make osdmini build again. [Aaron Giles]

Discrete Sound - Added DISCRETE_XTIME_xxx logic modules.  These allow you to do logic operations on nodes that use x_time anti-alias info. Added the ability to decode x_time to the DISCRETE_BIT_DECODE module. This means you can have an oscillator pass x_time onto a counter, get the counter bits decoded, pass that through the new logic modules and also have them convert the x_time to energy/anti-alaised voltage. Updated Donkey Kong Jr. to use these new modules. [Derrick Renaud]

Convert rendfont to C++. [Aaron Giles]

[SDL Debugger] Removed an unnecessary assert and brought focus back to the main debugger window on startup. [Andrew Gardner]

Added support for OSD-generated fonts. The OSD is queried first to see if it owns a given font (based on the name), and if it does, it is responsible for generating bitmaps on the fly as characters are requested. [Aaron Giles]

Added new option -uifont to specify the UI font. It can be set to a filename, in which case a BDF font will be loaded. It can also be set to a font name (assuming the OSD support is present), in which case the OSD font by that name is used. The default value is 'default' which can be used by the OSD to substitute a default font or by the OSD, which will default to ui.bdf as before. In all cases, it falls back to the built-in font by default if none of the previous options works. [Aaron Giles]

  NOTE: On Windows, the OSD will default to Tahoma as the font name. Also on Windows, font names can be specified with to indicate bold or to indicate italic.

Use "default" font for artwork elements as well. Make UI backgrounds a bit more opaque. Fix crash when passing NULL filename to OSD code. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed and verified with Test Mode the few System 18 bootlegs located in the system16.c driver for Inputs and Dip Switches. [Tafoid]

Discrete Updates [Derrick Renaud]
* Removed old DISCRETE_74LS624 code and replaced it with new 74LS629 based code. Updated Mario to use new DISCRETE_74LS624 and DISCRETE_XTIME_logic modules.

i80186/i80286: Fixed bound instruction restart when prefixed with a segment.  [Wilbert Pol]

i286.c: Partially implemented protected mode. Fixed verw, verr, lar, lsl, and arpl instructions.  [Wilbert Pol]

Atari Cops'n Robbers Updates [Derrick Renaud]
* Converted controls to Positional type.

* Added Motor 0 & 1, and Zings sounds. Zings sound not hooked up until address for Fires & Zings is found.

Optimized speed of DISCRETE_DAC_R1 [Derrick Renaud]

Converted the expression engine to C++, did the usual cleanup. [Aaron Giles]

Neo Geo Changes: [Johnboy]
* maglord/maglordh - Mixed up crc's, fixed
* flipshot - Added correct p1
* kotm2 - Tagged MVS AND AES VERSION
* miexchng - Added correct c3/c4
* Updated game pcb info
* Continued to document mask ROM types

Fixed crash in cubocd32/akiko [Mariusz Wojcieszek]

Atari Cops'n Robbers Updates [Derrick Renaud]

Fixed operation of DISCRETE_COUNTER_7492 [Derrick Renaud]

kofxi: Redumped mask ROMs due to error in TSOP70 adaptor [Cah4e3]

Source Changes
--------------
Fixed problems with i2cmem. Cubo CD32 games now save and load settings properly. [Mariusz Wojcieszek]

Cleaned up many duplicate inputs and fixed others in a number of drivers.  [Tafoid]

SDL: Support -uifont for using arbitrary TrueType fonts on Linux/BSD builds. This takes full pathname/filename to the font, and the name can have styles appended as in Windows: {b} for bold, {i} for italic, {s} for strikethrough, and {u} for underlined.  Fonts are rendered at a size of 120 points and scaled down by the core, which looks superb on high-res displays.  (Liberation Sans that comes with most recent distros looks really good). [R. Belmont]

   Warning: Linux/BSD builds now require SDL_ttf 2.x.  On Fedora the required package names are "SDL_ttf" and "SDL_ttf-devel".

tms7000: Corrected two opcodes: typo in inv_b and JPZ was wrong in official TI document. [Gilles Fetis]

SDL: -uifont now can also look up system font families like Windows [R. Belmont]

Take some driver_device classes that cover multiple drivers and split them so that each driver gets their own driver_device class. In most cases, these drivers got entangled because of audio/mcu code that was shared between multiple drivers: [Atari Ace]

* espial/marineb/zodiak - common code duplicated
* m52/m57/m58/m62/travrusa - common code in audio/irem.c
* junofrst/pooyan/rallyx/rocnrope/timeplt/tutankm - common code in audio/timeplt.c
* hyperspt/sbasketb/trackfld/yiear - common code in audio/trackfld and audio/hyprolyb.c
* 40love/bking/buggychl/msisaac - common code in machine/buggychl.c

SDL: OS X support for -uifont [Tim Lindner]

SDL: Build fixes for Ubuntu, -uifont non-ASCII rendering fix [R. Belmont, Barry Rodewald]

SDL: Mac compile warning fix [Wilbert Pol]

Added bare bones irq support to V810 CPU [Miodrag Milanovic]

Updated Naomi's M2/M3 decryption. On the fly decryption of Virtua Striker III is now possible. [Andreas Naive]

Fixed interrupt handing in V810 core,and flag position in PCW [Miodrag Milanovic]

SDL: add ptty (*IX/OS X) and sockets (all SDL builds) capability [Tim Lindner, R. Belmont]

Added Button 3 to the original Yie Ar Kung-Fu boardsets.  While not shown in manual, there is function for these buttons and the emulation should account for this possibility. Mapping is off by default. [Tafoid]

CPS-1 updates [Team CPS-1]:
* Added The King of Dragons (World 910805) and set as new parent
* Minor cleanups and fixes
* Added Mega Man: The Power Battle (CPS1, USA 951006) and set as new parent
* Fixed slammast, slammastu labels, added D-Board PALs and pcb infos
* mercs -> mercsr1, mercsua -> mercs
* Added Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (World 910228)

* Minor cleanups and fixes

Replaced smgolfb with correct dump [D. Beneke, M. David, Smitdogg, The Dumping Union]

MESS fixes: [Miodrag Milanovic]
* Fixed issue with image empty slot
* Default for writeconfig is now 0 for MESS since it is not needed anymore
* Fixed handling of mounted devices on hard reset
* Unified some emuopts code, and removed ifdefs

Corrected several rom names in the Sega System32 driver.  Most notably the correct revision for Spider-man & Golden Axe II US sets. [The Dumping Union]

Hooked up MSM5205 sample playback routines to Rougien, disabled by default because sample start write handler is still a mystery [Angelo Salese]

Updated Naomi/Naomi2 M2/M3 encryption. [Andreas Naive]

Fix F4 shortcut so it explicitly labels the address as a number by preceding it with "0x". This allows F4 to work properly, for example, on the 68000 stepping to address a6, which also happens to be a register name. [Aaron Giles]

More updates to Naomi/Naomi2 M2/M3 decryption. [Andreas Naive]

Added proper sample playback in Rougien [Andrew Welburn, Angelo Salese]

Split the screen device into a separate module. Converted global video routines into a video_manager. Moved video manager initialization earlier in startup. [Aaron Giles]

Allowed the use of either decimal or hexadecimal values for <dataarea> size, <rom> size, and <rom> offset in software lists. [Curt Coder]

Fixed array bounds problems found by GCC 4.5.x [qmc2, R. Belmont]

Fixed BSD compile [ElBarto]

raiden2: First stab at a cop "disassembler" [trap15, O. Galibert]

Redo most of the DRC/backend support as C++. Yes, it is intentional that the x86/x64 backends compile everywhere. Backends are now derived from drcbe_interface and implement several required overrides. x86emit.h now uses namespaces so that the x86/x64 emitters can co-exist. New file uml.h/uml.c actually describes the UML language, separating out several concepts from drcuml.c. [Aaron Giles]

* For "standard nodes", DISCRETE_CLASS_STEP_RESET provides a simple way to implement a node.
* All information around a node (additional info struct, constants and input mappings may be defined on a class level centralizing all information. An example is dss_inverter_osc.
* Significantly simplified the task handling.
* Fixed a bug which would not buffer secondary outputs.
* All lists in sound/disc_* are now based on dynamic_array_t (discrete.h)
* Changed all drivers to reflect the changes.
* Custom modules are now just another node class.
* No performance hit observed due to these changes.

raiden2: Write down the rather weird results of a series of tests [dox, O. Galibert]

Added "-syncrefresh" option to osd/sdl. This will *limit* the game speed to the video refresh rate and works in -mt mode as well. The option has an effect only if "-waitsync" is specified. [Couriersud, Chris Kennedy]

Fixed 01004: chinhero, chinhero2, chinherot: There is a bad sprite on level 7 of the game. [Corrado Tomaselli, Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Added sprites wrap around-y in Chinese Hero to fix gorilla sprites entering from the left [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
----------------------
- 04225: [Sound] gangwars: Samples incorrectly played (Tafoid)
- 04221: [Misc.] chryangl: Incorrect sizes listed in source.
- 04215: [Graphics] quizf1: missing graphics in a startup screen (robiza)

- 04202: [Sound] asteroid, llander and clones (+ others): Discrete sound missing/broken (Derrick Renaud)

Source Changes
--------------
arm7: Fix for "MOV LR, Rx" (where Rx bit 0 = 1) + "F800" situation. This fixes the lockup in GBA "Golden Sun: The Lost Age". [Tim Schuerewegen]

SSV: Hook up uPD96050 (ST-010) math/protection DSP [R. Belmont]

[mysticrib] added one opcode and fixed music and sound [Roberto Zandona']

Fixed DISCRETE_WAVLOG & DISCRETE_RCFILTER fixing dkongjr and likely other sounds. [Derrick Renaud]

intelfsh: Support flash ROMs that have a bankswitch command [Tim Schuerewegen]

Fixed banking in daytona2 by adding a second aperture to CROM at 0xc3000000. A couple of CROMs checksum as bad, but most come out good. [Aaron Giles]

A new WE DSP16A cpu disassembler.  [Andrew Gardner]

Added a preliminary Softlist support for Sega Megatech, that allows multi-cart support. syntax is (similar to the MESS one) mame megatech -cart1 mt_beast -cart2 mt_soni2 ... -cart8 mt_shar2 SMS games have issues when moving between games, so stick to only a single SMS game for now or the z80 will crash. [David Haywood]

Fix missing sound channel in beezer; sound should now be more or less correct, but the noise source still isn't accurate yet. [Lord Nightmare]

Improved beezer volume DAC handling to be accurate to hardware. [Lord Nightmare]

quizf1: added opcodes [Roberto Zandona']

C++-ified the sound and streams interfaces. Combined sound.c and streams.c into one file, and separated the speaker device into its own file. Generalized the concept of dynamically assigned inputs and re-wired the speaker to work this way, so it is now treated just like any other sound device. Added methods to the device_sound_interface for controlling output gain and mapping device inputs/outputs to stream inputs/outputs. Also made the sound_stream_update() method pure virtual, so all modern sound devices must use the new mechanism for stream updates. [Aaron Giles]

Clean up megatech.xml. [Fabio Priuli, David Haywood]

Clean up natural keyboard support. [Atari Ace]

Eliminated static/global variables in a number of Atari drivers by moving them into a driver_device. [Atari Ace]

Fixed Metal Slug 6 ROM mirror, game is fully playable [Cah4e3]

Fix a bug in palette_normalize_range which caused color distortion. The luminance normalization now converts r,g,b to y,u,v and normalizes y prior to converting back to r,g,b. This affects e.g. radarscp, dkong and mario drivers. [Couriersud]

Modernized the DSP32 core. [Aaron Giles]

Rewrote video routines and fixed partial updates in the Dottori Kun driver [Angelo Salese]

Added all CPU and sound devices in emu folder to the MAME build. [Curt Coder]

arm7: [Tim Schuerewegen]
- Improved LDM/STM unaligned word access in THUMB mode.
- Fixed LDM unaligned read in THUMB mode.

Imported the MC68901 device from MESS so it can be shared with micro3d.c. [Curt Coder]

ksys573: Hook up part of the i2c communication with the mas3507d. [O. Galibert]

Renamed bishjan.c to subsino2.c [Luca Elia]
* Implemented reel layer
* Fixed rogue tiles in xplan
* Hopper emulation in bishjan

m90: fixed line scroll [Roberto Zandona]

ARM7: Fix an LDM base register write-back bug. [Tim Schuerewegen]

Added correct LA revision levels to the Pigskin 621AD rom set as well as including the date in the game titles of Arch Rivals and Pigskin 621AD sets. [The Dumping Union]

Fixed interrupt vector in F8 CPU core [Sandro Ronco]

namcops2: Added dumped key for Ridge Racer V RRV3 Ver. A [Guru]

Converted TMS3203X to a modern device. [Aaron Giles]

Removed redundant m_machine from the state and execute interfaces to fix ambiguity when using m_machine from within a device that inherits from these. [Aaron Giles]

beezer now uses correct mm5837 noise source (clock may be a bit off though), and now has mm5837 properly hooked to audio via. May still be some issues with intermittent noise updating which need fixing. [Lord Nightmare]

Improvements to Magic's 10 driver. [Roberto Fresca]
* New inputs from the scratch for Music Sort.
* Complete DIP Switches and DIP locations for Music Sort.
* Added a new button-lamps layout for Music Sort.
* Created a default NVRAM that allow Music Sort work properly.

NetBSD support [Thomas Klausner]

pollux: fixed sprite flip x and y and removed old comments [Roberto Zandona']

Converted attotime to a class, with proper operators. Removed old global functions which are now superceded by the operators and methods on the class. [Aaron Giles]

Eliminated global/static variables in a number of Taito/Irem drivers  by introducing/using driver_device classes. [Atari Ace]

Cleaned up shared implementation of CDi [David Haywood]
* merged MESS CDi driver file with the MAME CDi driver file (used for Quizard)
* the cdimono1 system is now the parent / bios of Quizard, the Quizard games run on a retail CDi unit with Jamma adapter / dongle for protection so this is a logical step.

Replaced anonymous timers used in video/segaic16.c, drivers/segaorun.c and drivers/segaxbd.c with allocated timers, making it possible to add save state support to these drivers.  [Alex Jackson]

Updates to cave.c and toaplan2.c: [Alex Jackson]
* Added savestate support to all games in cave.c. Most of the work was already done by someone else; the blocker was a perpetually-running anonymous timer, which I converted to an allocated timer.
* Changed OKI sample banking to use device address maps instead of memcpy() in all cave.c games except the nmk112-based games. If someone wants to try to convert nmk112.c to use device address maps and bank pointers, be my guest--you'll need 8 banks of varying sizes per OKI chip...
* Fixed description of the Japanese Air Gallet set--the game's Japanese title is "Akuu Gallet".
* Made machine/nmk112.c actually restore its state properly. Also refactored it a little (if you can talk about refactoring a source file that almost fits on one screen)
* Fixed bgaregga's nmk112 interface to work with the refactored nmk112.c.
* Removed excessive CPU interleaving from batsugun, left over from when I was initially hooking up the V25.
* Removed a useless printf and some obsolete comments, more leftovers from the process of hooking up the V25.

Added MCFG_SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS to twincobr.c and wardner.c, correcting their refresh rates.  [Alex Jackson]

Add basic LOAD function to the debugger to complement the existing SAVE function. It allows you to load a binary file straight into writeable memory.  The format is the same as the SAVE function with the exception that the <length> can be handled differently.  [Pugsy]

68681 patch to fix dectalk's startup test in MESS [Hans Ostermeyer]

drcuml: fix compile on systems that use the C backend [R. Belmont]

Reimplemented fruit-machine mechanical meters to use timers [AGEMAME]

Various MPU4 changes [AGEMAME]:
* Revised timing/input system to stop flickering
* Tidied up the LED drawing code to remove flicker
* Support for all known extenders and reel multiplex boards used in MPU4 H/W
* Partial support for OKI sampled sound card, need for some titles
* Fixed Old Timer characteriser
* Some general tidying up to allow better study of the BwB titles

Implemented proper mouse wheel event handling in the Windows debugger. [Curt Coder]

Convert emu_timers to objects. Moved implementation and management of timers into the scheduler. Retain TIMER devices as a separate wrapper in timer.c/.h. Rather than using macros which hide generation of a string-ified name for callback functions, the new methods require passing both a function pointer plus a name string. A new macro FUNC() can be used to output both, and another macro MSTUB() can be used to output a stub-wrapped class member as a callback. [Aaron Giles]

Added a time() method on the machine, so that machine->time() gives the current emulated time. [Aaron Giles]

Added methods to the device_t class that make creating and managing device timers much simpler. Modern devices were updated to use these. [Aaron Giles]

Ensured that the debugger disassembly PC cursor is visible on startup. [Curt Coder]

Made changes to the PORT_ADJUSTER values for MSM5232 clocks in all games in drivers to best match PCB recordings.  [Fujix, Tafoid]

Removed cpuexec_describe_context, cpuexec_boost_interleave, cpuexec_trigger, and cpuexec_triggertime in favor of calls to the scheduler. [Aaron Giles]

tms57002: significantly improved build speed on lower-end h/w [R. Belmont]

G65816: fixed operation on PowerPC Linux where char is unsigned [R. Belmont, billb]

Move generic templates from emucore.h to emutempl.h. Normalize the tagged_list template to wrap a regular standard_list and have similar semantics. Updated a few direct callers to handle the changes. [Aaron Giles]

sigmab98: fixed zooming, added priorities and flipping [Luca Elia]

Moved the state saving system to C++. For now the registration macros are still intact. The new state_manager class has templatized methods for saving the various types, and through template specialization can save more complex system types cleanly (like bitmaps and attotimes). Added NAME() macro which is a generalization of FUNC() and can be used to wrap variables that are registered when directly using the new methods as opposed to the previous macros. [Aaron Giles]

Added new mechanism to detect proper state save types. This is much more strict and there will likely be some games/devices that fatalerror at startup until they are remedied. Spot checking has caught the more common situations. [Aaron Giles]

Added methods in the device_t class that implicitly register state against the current device, making for a cleaner interface. Bulk updated existing devices and drivers with driver_device classes to use these methods. [Aaron Giles]

cps1.c: CPS-1 update [Team CPS-1]:
* Added Tenchi wo Kurau (Japan Resale Ver.)
* Confirmed B-Board # for chikij, added ROMs positions, PALs and some pcb infos to video\cps1.c
* Fixed sf2uk labels and added pcb infos
* Identified and documented willowje as an early and genuine USA release, added a note and renamed willowje -> willowo
* Verified and fixed XTALs of Japan Resale Versions to work at 12MHz, they all use DASH A-Boards
* Minor cleanups and fixes

Migrated allocated buffers to arrays in the driver_data classes of several drivers. [Aaron Giles]

Made "run to next CPU" more reliable. [Aaron Giles]

Fix memory manager bug when calling 32-bit handlers on a 64-bit address space. [Aaron Giles]

mame_file is now emu_file and is a class. It is required to pass a core_options object to the constructor, along with a search path. This required pushing either a running_machine or a core_options through some code that wasn't previously ready to handle it. emu_files can be reused over multiple open/close sessions, and a lot of core code cleaned up nicely as things were converted to them. [Aaron Giles]

Created a file_enumerator class for iterating over files in a searchpath. This replaces the old mame_openpath functions. [Aaron Giles]

Changed machine->options() to return a reference. [Aaron Giles]

OKI MSM9810 : Added preliminary ADPCM2 support. [Andrew Gardner, Lord Nightmare]

PSX: add DMA mode used for CD transfers on home system, fix DMA bug that caused home system to freeze. [pSXAuthor, Harmony, R. Belmont]

Hash generation and general cleanup. New class hash_collection holds and manages a collection of hashes, and can be built from an internal format string which is stored with each ROM. Also compacted the form of the hash strings used for ROMs, and fixed verification/hashing of non-ZIPped files. [Aaron Giles]

snes_snd.c: fixed save state error [Fabio Priuli]

circus.c: Improved interrupt handling: circus generates them the same way as ripcord (based on sprite-bg collision), robotbwl doesn't generate interrupts at all. [hap]

Updated DIPS and Dip Locations based on documents posted by Laschek at KLOV.  [Tafoid]

SDL: GLSL now works for all pixel formats; fixed memory leak on textures [cgwg]

Eliminate statics/globals in drivers jpm/kaneko/maygay/meadows/merit/metro/midcoin/midw8080/midway/msx/namco. [Atari Ace]

Convert dooyong/edevices/eolith/exidy/gaelco/gottlieb/igs/itech/jaleco drivers to driver_device. [Atari Ace]

Decoupled some entagled drivers: [Atari Ace]
* Removed unneeded #include lines (gal3.c galaxold.c asic65.c)
* Split part of the driver include into a separate multi-driver include file (audio/exidy.h audio/exidy440.h audio/wiping.h machine/segag80.h)

Fix disassembler override hook [Aaron Giles]

Fix reads for 32-bit handlers on 64-bit CPUs too. [R. Belmont]

Amiga fixes: [Roberto Zandona]
* removed additional 2 cycles, in move operation, for non-Agnus registers
* set to #0 the start cycle in the copper operation

PSX updates: [smf]
* Fixed DICR handling.
* Removed non existant root counter 3 IRQ.
* Ignore root counter stop when reset is also set.
* Removed custom root counters in Konami 573 driver.

Modified video update system: [Miodrag Milanovic]
* Screen update function is now per screen device (it was before but was attached to machine driver)

      MCFG_VIDEO_UPDATE -> MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE
      MCFG_VIDEO_EOF -> MCFG_SCREEN_EOF

* EOF is now executed for all screens, so for all existing it is defined just for one screen. This part will be updated in future.

Refactored the CD32 code base to eliminate duplicate code between MAME and MESS [David Haywood]

Added overloaded input_port_read() for reading device owned input ports. [Curt Coder]

Source Changes
--------------
Decreased color saturation and alpha of internal fake shifter layout to make it less distracting. [hap]

Fix OS/2 compile [K.O. Myung-Hun]

Various Aristocrat Mk4 / Mk5 fixes [Palindrome]

Documented Aristocrat Mk4 init procedure [Heihachi_73]

Implemented proper vblank read-back on Aristocrat Mk-4 HW [Angelo Salese]

naomi: Reorganized the driver to put games in order by type and put similar functionality together [f205v]

New driver for Winners Circle (Corona), dual CPU hardware. [Roberto Fresca]

Exposed the M68000 supervisor flag for external MMUs to determine the current address space. [Curt Coder]

Removed unnecessary machine parameter from device-specific input_port_read. [Curt Coder]

Exposed the complete Function Code of the M68000 (instead of just FC2 as previously). [Curt Coder]

Corona.c: Fixed the visible screen area to improve the Winners Circle aspect. Also fixed visible screen area and rotate properly the RE-800 sets. Minor clean-ups. [Roberto Fresca]

Converted core_options to a class. Removed a bunch of marginal functionality in favor of alternate mechanisms. Errors are now reported via an astring rather than via callbacks. Every option must now specify a type (command, integer, float, string, boolean, etc). Command behavior has changed so that only one command is permitted. [Aaron Giles]

Changed fileio system to accept just a raw searchpath instead of an options/option name combination. [Aaron Giles]

Created emu_options class dervied from core_options which wraps core emulator options. Added mechanisms to cleanly change the system name and add/remove system-specific options, versus the old way using callbacks. Also added read accessors for all the options, to ensure consistency in how parameters are handled. Changed most core systems to access emu_options instead of core_options. Also changed machine->options() to return emu_options. [Aaron Giles]

Created cli_options class derived from emu_options which adds the command-line specific options. Updated clifront code to leverage the new class and the new core behaviors. cli_execute() now accepts a cli_options object when called. [Aaron Giles]

Updated both SDL and Windows to have their own options classes, derived from cli_options, which add the OSD-specific options on top of everything else. Added accessors for all the options so that queries are strongly typed and simplified. [Aaron Giles]

Updated nmk/olympia/pacific/pce/phoenix/rare/seibu/seta to driver_devices. [Atari Ace]

Updated sigma/stern/subsino/tatsumi/tch/tecfri/technos/tehkan to driver_devices. [Atari Ace]

roul (roul.c) [stephh] :
* Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs (after verification of the Z80 code)

ksys573: Fix some wrong machine driver selections [O. Galibert]

Allow serial receive without ES enabled. [Couriersud]

sgnascar: Added dump of mask ROMs [Guru, R. Belmont]

Added correct bitswap for point blank 3 [smf].

inptport: Add existence and used bits interface for automatic controller adaptation [O. Galibert]

Converted psx cpu core to c++ [smf]

Corona.c driver improvements. A lot of input/output work, accurate periodic interrupt timing for sound CPU, meters, DIP switches, and other minor things. We got Winners Circle 82 playable. [Roberto Fresca]

More improvements to corona.c driver. Splitted new machine, memory map, and complete multiplexed inputs/outputs for Lucky Roulette type games. Also added NVRAM and inverted blitter [Roberto Fresca]

Implemented MC6845 row/column addressing mode. [Curt Coder]

Make shift/alt+right work on channel volume sliders (fractions between 0 and 1 were always rounded down) [hap]

splash.c driver improvements. [Tomasz Slanina]
* The Return of Lady Frog : added sound
* Funny Strip : added sound, patched few more protection checks, fixed sprite ram access

Added inputs to Tetris Fighters - game now boots. [Tomasz Slanina]

Lot of improvements/changes to corona.c driver. Input/output work and new set supported. Redumped the winner82 sound program. [Roberto Fresca]

SDL: Fix uimodekey for MESS [Barry Rodewald, R. Belmont]

More work on corona.c driver. [Roberto Fresca]
- Cleaned up and improved memory maps
- Added NVRAM to all winners circle sets
- Fixed the ay8910 clock for winners circle 82 type to match the other hardware.
- Fixed a blitter buffer to bitmap problem.
- Reparented the sets.
- Added new technical notes.

carjmbre: [hap]
* use 4 bit clut instead of 3 bit
* calculate palette with resnet info from Popper (same year, same company, very similar hardware)
* make bgcolor emulation more logical
* small cleanups

Use correct roms for the Japanese 1941 set [Brian Troha]

Fixed sound regression with Mission 660 [Angelo Salese]

Major toaplan2.c updates  [Alex Jackson]
* Some sets reparented and renamed as well as a cleanup of source comments: grindstm (parent), vfive (clone) kingdmgp (parent), shippumd (clone) The set formerly known as "sstrikera" is now "sstriker" and is now the parent of mahoudai (clone). Reverted batrid to batrider and bkraid to bbakraid.
* Put common init code into MACHINE_START, leaving DRIVER_INITs only for games that actually need unique initialization.
* Dead code cleanup: Removed old hacks and some no-longer-used used member variables from the driver class.
* ROM banking cleanup: Added a device address map for the OKI in fixeightbl. Stopped misusing the bank system for memory that isn't actually bankswitched (fixeightbl again) Simplified the Z80 ROM banking (and loading) in the Raizing games.
* Address map cleanup: Unified 8-bit shared RAM handling between the Z80-based and the V25-based games. Replaced lots of pointless READ_HANDLERs with AM_RAM_WRITE. Moved fixeight EEPROM handling into the input ports instead of using READ/WRITE_HANDLERs. Incidentally, this makes toaplan2.c the very first MAME driver to use the AM_READWRITE_PORT macro.
* Removed IPT_VBLANK input ports (no longer used since the video rewrite)
* Removed Truxton 2 player 2 "button 4" (after confirming that the game never reads it) and changed player 1 "button 4" to an IPT_OTHER not bound to any key by default, since it's clearly some kind of test/debug input not meant to be hooked up in a regular cabinet (for one thing, it works whether you're actually playing or in attract mode)
* Added button 3 to Batsugun Special Version. It's a full auto fire button like Cave games have. The service mode input test doesn't show it, presumably because Toaplan didn't bother to update the service mode code from the original version of the game.
* Fixed region jumpers and dipswitches in many sets, based on analysis of the program code and strings in the ROMs.
* Added a #define to optionally make Truxton 2 stereo (commented out by default). See the comments at the top of the driver and in the MACHINE_CONFIG.
* Corrected kbash ROM names, thanks to information from Charles MacDonald. Also fixed inconsistent ROM naming between some of the batrider clones.
* Loaded bbakraid default EEPROM as a ROM rather than hardcoding the contents into the driver.
* Completely removed audio/toaplan2.c, which isn't needed any more now that all the V25s are decrypted and hooked up.

Technical changes to reel games.  [James Wallace]
* Fixed lamp timing in MPU4 and laid groundwork for MPU3 support in the steppers (I've also cleared up the reel code in drivers).
* Removed some unneeded timing code.
* BwB support is here, but preliminary, it's mainly to show people how the CHR chip might work in those games.

Fixed enormous memory consumption when iterating through all drivers like -romident does. [Aaron Giles]

Converted namco/thepit/toaplan/unico/upl/valadon/veltmjr/venture/vsystem/zaccaria to driver_device. Also simplified unico and  disentangled gridlee from balsente. [Atari Ace]

Breaks some driver entanglements to simplify future driver_device
conversion efforts: [Atari Ace]
* taito_f3 is disentangled from a number of other drivers by using an AM_SHARE tag instead of a common variable.
* Several drivers are made into explicit subclasses of other drivers: 8080bw from mw8080bw, missb2 from bublbobl, quasar from cvs, taito_x from seta.
* arcadecl is separated from rampart by duplicating the bitmap rendering code.
* jaleco decryption code is moved to jalcrpt.c.
* cischeat is separated from megasys1 by duplicating some video code.
* mcr3 is partly separated from mcr.
* machine/midwunit.c is split into wunit and xunit files with some code duplication.
* midtunit gfx_rom variables are made distinct from midyunit variables, making midyunit independent of midtunit.
* contants in namconb1 are duplicated/renamed in namcofl.
* namcos2 uses of namcos21 are eliminated by introducing namcos2_kickstart.
* toypop is separated from mappy by duplicating some video code.

Move non-buffered spriteram drivers away from using the generic spriteram in favor of using spriteram in their own driver_device classes. [Atari Ace]

Fix long-standing bug in ABS flags in ADSP21xx core. [Christophe Jaillet]

Removed some legacy NVRAM_HANDLERs in favor of NVRAM devices. [Aaron Giles]

Added M48T37 variant to timekpr.c. Fixed some bugs that caused registers to be initialized to 0xff and caused odd behavior. Updated to modern device timers. [Aaron Giles]

Converted vegas to use M48T37 instead of its own implementation. [Aaron Giles]

Attached emu_options to the machine_config, and the running_machine inherits it now. [Aaron Giles]

Mapped KEYCODE_BACKSLASH2 to the OEM_102 key (located between LShift and Z on international keyboard layouts). [Curt Coder]

Fix micro3d 8051 serial RX, todo: still needs CLEAR behind a 1 cycle callback [Lord Nightmare]

Fixed parsing of uimodekey from .ini on SDL [Fabio Priuli]

Improved inputs and complete DIP switches to Lucky Roulette Plus. Also, added new support for Ruleta RCI. [Roberto Fresca]

model3: add protection data for oceanhun (game still doesn't boot) [Ville Linde]

galdrvr.c: Added background color split to Anteater. [hap]

Convert a number of drivers to use their own private spriteram instead of the generic one. Only drivers needing buffered spriteram should use the shared generic version for now. [Atari Ace]

Continued eliminating global/static variables by moving them to the driver_device classes.  Mostly drivers from misc.a, and some drivers recently which had dependencies removed. [Atari Ace]

Fixed Z80-DART transmit word length. [Curt Coder]

Decouple memory_region parameters from the ROMREGION flags. [Aaron Giles]

path_iterator::next() now takes an optional filename to append to the path. [Aaron Giles]

Fix pleiades colours (high/low palette bits exchanged). [Couriersud]

Added DEVICE_SELF_OWNER support for device callbacks. [Curt Coder]

Moved anteateruk/anteaterg to galdrvr.c [hap]

Added possibility of altering default input port setting for devices. [Miodrag Milanovic]

Galaxian driver: Fixed sprite X offset. [hap]

Continued moving global/static variables to the driver_device classes. [Atari Ace]

Remove unused static handler entries. Also ensure that subsequent mapping/ unmapping of static memory types does not change the memory parameters. This fixes the case where dynamically unmapping memory could lead to incorrectly reported offsets. [Aaron Giles]

Remove some straggling const address_space references, and get rid of explicit const_casts in memory.h. [Aaron Giles]

Dedicated galxwars cabs are not b/w but have color maps For now, use proms from another game and mark sets as bad dump/wrong colors [hap]

contra.c: Changed main CPU to HD6309 as seen on PCB, and set interrupt source to k007121. [hap]

Add driver_device classes for drivers that don't have any variables, for consistency (and future development). [Atari Ace]

Further decoupled some driver files to help driver_device conversions. [Atari Ace]
1. cclimber and galaxian audio code and seibuspi decryption code get their own includes.
2. galpani2 video declarations are moved from kaneko16.h to their own file.
3. cchance and champbwl subclass from tnzs, xevious/bosco/digdug subclass from galaga and vmetal subclasses from metro.
4. yvg608 is made independent of namcond1
5. ettrivia duplicates the palette code from naughtyb
6. mshuttle decryption code is moved into galaxian.
7. tetrisp2_draw_sprites is split into two versions, one for ms32.c, one for tetrisp2.c.

Converted asteroid/bzone/funworld/itech8/kongambl/legionna/leland/quakeat/quizpun2/segas24/twincobr/warpwarp to driver_device. [Atari Ace]

Moved Kaneko Super Nova sprite chip emulation inside its own file [David Haywood]

Put Deco 56 video sprite chip inside its own file [David Haywood]

Deco 56: Allow rendering to a bitmap, with priority data intact, for manual mixing [David Haywood]

battlex.c: Some driver cleanups, most importantly: [hap]
* made interrupt generation more logical (assert/clear instead of hold)
* removed hacky hardcoded palette for background tiles, let it use palette ram

Changed clocks based on confirmed XTAL and dumper's notes for Ambush and clones.  Audio changed to AY8912 as well. [Tafoid / Tomasz Slanina]

Fixed decrementing transfers in z80dma core [Angelo Salese]

Converted Tattoo Assassins (and Night Slashers) to use deco16ic.c, fixing some corrupt graphics in Tattoo Assassins (which have been there since it was first added)  [David Haywood]

Removed globals from a number of device-like shared systems and made them either statics or actual device variables. [Atari Ace]

Convert cclimber/galpani2/gticlub/namcond1/pacman/seibuspi/tetrisp2/vicdual to driver_device. [Atari Ace]

Source Changes
--------------
Converted Super Shanghai Dragon's Eye to use the common deco video files functions, fixing a rowscroll bug in it [David Haywood]

Fix font loading in sdlmame. BDF files are just loaded as TTF by TTF_OpenFont. Load is now protected by a magic check. Also fixed a bug in SDL1.3 keyboard mapping and changed SDL1.3 code to be compatible with recent 1.3 API changes. [Couriersud]

sdl-config flags are now separated into INCFLAGS and COMFLAGS in sdl.mak. This fixes "make depend". [Couriersud]

softlist.c: split the <info> field (added some time ago to handle compatibility requirements) into  <info> and <sharedfeat>. the former stays tied to the whole software entry, the latter gets inherited by each part. [Fabio Priuli]

Added device_t::memory() to fetch a reference to the memory interface, or assert if not present. [Aaron Giles]

Split address_space::install_[legacy_]handler into install_[legacy_]read_handler, install_[legacy_]write_handler, and install_[legacy_]readwrite_handler. [Aaron Giles]

Added variants of address_space handler installers which don't take mirror or mask parameters, since this is by far the most common case. [Aaron Giles]

Deprecated API cleanup. [Aaron Giles]

   cputag_set_clock(mach, tag, hz)      ==> mach->device("tag")->set_unscaled_clock(hz)

Created new enum type address_spacenum for specifying an address space by index. Update functions and methods that accepted an address space index to take an address_spacenum instead. Note that this means you can't use a raw integer in ADDRESS_SPACE macros, so instead of 0 use the enumerated AS_0. [Aaron Giles]

Standardized the project on the shortened constants AS_* over the older ADDRESS_SPACE_*. Removed the latter to prevent confusion. Also centralized the location of these definitions to memory.h. [Aaron Giles]

Converted DECO BAC06 tilemap (used by dec0.c) to be a device, reducing code duplication [David Haywood]

Deprecate the old memory_install_* macros. Dynamic installation is now handled directly by calling methods on the address_space, which have been expanded with aliases to cover all previous situations. In addition, variants with no mirror or mask value are provided to cover the common cases: [Aaron Giles]

   memory_install_read*_handler(space, begin, end, mirror, mask, handler)
     ==> space->install_legacy_read_handler(begin, end [, mirror, mask], FUNC(handler))

   memory_install_write*_handler(space, begin, end, mirror, mask, handler)
     ==> space->install_legacy_write_handler(begin, end [, mirror, mask], FUNC(handler))

   memory_install_readwrite*_handler(space, begin, end, mirror, mask, rhandler, whandler)
     ==> space->install_legacy_readwrite_handler(begin, end [, mirror, mask], FUNC(rhandler), FUNC(whandler))

   memory_install_read*_device_handler(space, device, begin, end, mirror, mask, handler)
     ==> space->install_legacy_read_handler(*device, begin, end [, mirror, mask], FUNC(handler))

   memory_install_write*_device_handler(space, device, begin, end, mirror, mask, handler)
     ==> space->install_legacy_write_handler(*device, begin, end [, mirror, mask], FUNC(handler))

   memory_install_readwrite*_device_handler(space, device, begin, end, mirror, mask, rhandler, whandler)
     ==> space->install_legacy_readwrite_handler(*device, begin, end [, mirror, mask], FUNC(rhandler), FUNC(whandler))

   memory_install_read_port(space, begin, end, mirror, mask, port)
     ==> space->install_read_port(begin, end [, mirror, mask], port)

uiimage.c: Improved File Manager usage (in the internal UI) by catching char inputs and searching for matching names among files and directories [Fabio Priuli]

some work on the 3 games in dec8.c which use the bac06 tilemaps[David Haywood]

Converted Act Fancer, Trio the Punch and Mad Motor to use the common deco video functions [David Haywood]

Converted Stadium Hero driver to use the common Deco video functions [David Haywood]

Cleanup of machine.h. Shuffled some fields around, and moved several to private member variables with accessors: [Aaron Giles]

   machine->m_respool     ==> machine->respool()
   machine->config        ==> machine->config()
   machine->gamedrv       ==> machine->system()
   machine->m_regionlist  ==> machine->first_region()
   machine->sample_rate   ==> machine->sample_rate()

Converted Pocket Gal to use the common deco video routines [David Haywood]

Started moving common deco MXC06 sprite controller code to it's own device files, reducing code duplication [David Haywood]

Converted Act Fancer to use common deco sprite code [David Haywood]

Converted Vapor Trail to use the common deco sprite functions [David Haywood]

Converted Stadium Hero, Cobra-Command, Psycho-Nics Oscar to use the common deco sprite functions [David Haywood]

Removed redundant machine items from address_space and device_t. Neither machine nor m_machine are directly accessible anymore. Instead a new getter machine() is available which returns a machine reference: [Aaron Giles]

   space->machine->xxx   ==>  space->machine().xxx
   device->machine->yyy  ==>  device->machine().yyy

Globally changed all running_machine pointers to running_machine references. Any function/method that takes a running_machine takes it as a required parameter (1 or 2 exceptions). Being consistent here gets rid of a lot of odd &machine or *machine, but it does mean a very large bulk change across the project. [Aaron Giles]

Remove redundant item cpu from address_space, in favor of space->device(). [Aaron Giles]

Two hash_collections can only match if they have at least one matching hash. [Aaron Giles]

If we get an error parsing options, see if there was no command and what looks like an invalid system name. In that case, provide suggestions for the system name instead of reporting the options error. [Aaron Giles]

Move overridable device->rom_region(), device->machine_config_additions(), and device->input_ports() to protected methods. Added non-virtual wrappers around them. [Aaron Giles]

Implemented karnov style sprites in its own file, shared with karnov and dec8 drivers [David Haywood]

Fixed multiwidth sprites in decmxc06.c, removed code which appeared to serve no purpose other than to break the birdtry gfxdecode in machine/dec0.c [David Haywood]

Added new macro MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED_CLASS() which works just like MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED() except you can specify an alternate driver_device class. Used this in the 8080bw.c games which require an_8080bw_state, but derive from mw8080bw_root which has the base class mw8080bw_state. [Aaron Giles]

lordgun.c: Corrected Dipswitch names and added dipswitch locations to Lord of Gun & Alien Challenge [Brian Troha]

tumbleb.c: Corrected Dipswitch names and locations for Choky! Choky! [Brian Troha]

         first hole. (Angelo Salese)

Source Changes
--------------
Added screen raw params and irq ack to the dec0 driver, fixing hole 1
hang in Birdie Try and improving fade in/out effects for Boulder Dash
[Angelo Salese]

Funworld driver updates: [Roberto Fresca]
* Complete support for Witch Royal, from Video Klein.
* Reworked the button-lamps layout to get the hold buttons more
    centered.

Eliminates the extern variables from atarimo video core, in order to
remove a significant source of AM_BASE macros. [Atari Ace]

Converted astrocde/kaneko16/namcos23/suprnova to driver_device
[Atari Ace]

Converted Taito F3 video chip (TC0630FDP) to have a parallelism of
16-bit [Angelo Salese]

Converted 2 Minutes Drill driver to use Taito F3 video chip, this
hugely improves graphics in it [Angelo Salese]

Added irq ack and fixed sound chip type to be YM2610B for 2 Minutes
Drill [Angelo Salese]

Dumped the DVD image for bikiniko [alien_mame, The Dumping Union]

Added work-around for crowd gfxs in Taito F3 football games (Taito Cup
Finals, International Cup '94, Taito Power Goal and clones), until a
better information is found about it [David Haywood]

softlist: moved software list handling (in the Internal UI) to a
separate source, and made the code more similar to the File Manager
handling code. [Fabio Priuli]

CPS-3 update [Team CPS-1]:
* Added Street Fighter III: New Generation Hispanic BIOS rom CD
    version
* Added a detailed table of all known releases until now with usefull
    notes to identify new Cart Regions/CD Revisions
* Renamed some CHDs to use the new Catalog # standard

uiswlist.c: added a switch to choose between shortname order or
description order for softlist entries (in the Internal UI), and
adapted the char input code to match shortnames or descriptions
accordingly [Fabio Priuli]

sc61860 cpu - fix for crash and cleanup, replace for internal ram
accesses with function calls to help further debug the core in the
future [Atari Ace]

cartslot.c/chd_cd.c: added support for a callback function to test
softlist sharedfeat (e.g. 'compatibility') and display a warning
message accordingly. updated cdi.c as an example [Fabio Priuli]

Decrypted 3 Super 8 program ROM [Lord Nightmare, Kevtris]

cassette.c/flopdrv.c: added support for a display info callback
function [Miodrag Milanovic]

corona/galaxian/namcos21/namcos22/namcos23/psikyosh/quizo/sigmab98 to
driver_device.  [Atari Ace]

Convert scramble/galaxold to driver_device  [Atari Ace]

Audio device additions:  [Atari Ace]
* exidy440/m72/segasnd are converted to legacy devices.
* cage/dcs/williams variables are restructured internally to resemble
    a device, simplifying a future device conversion.  Some AM_BASE
    macros are eliminated as well.
* taito_en has minor changes to eliminate an AM_BASE macro.

Heavily improved 3 Super 8 emulation, and implemented NMI acknowledge
mechanism into the Super Poker driver [Angelo Salese]

i286 - Fixed protected mode boundary check [Miodrag Milanovic]

naomibd: Fix collision with system macro on NetBSD [Thomas Klausner]

Implemented PAL-like prom read-back in 4 En Raya [Angelo Salese]

Fixed Pururun's audio pitch/speed to match that of a reference video.
[Tafoid]

tms5220.c: updates to comments and nonstandard feature defines.
[Lord Nightmare]

8237dma - Added cascade mode support [Wilbert Pol]

pic8259 - Added support for cascade mode, updated interface in all
drivers [Miodrag Milanovic]

upd7725.c: Implementation of the p0 and p1 output bits as device
lines; preliminary implementation of INT input line. [Lord Nightmare]

Replaced mamedriv.c with a new driver list mechanism that is generated
by the build tools. The emulator core now expects the presence of a
file called src/$(TARGET)/$(SUBTARGET).lst which is just a raw list of
driver names, one per line. C and C++ comments are still permitted.
This file is parsed by a new build tool makelist which extracts the
driver names, sorts them, and generates a file called drivlist.c,
which is consumed by the core. [Aaron Giles]

Added new osdcore function osd_malloc_array() which is identical to
osd_malloc() but obviously hints that the underlying allocation is for
an array. Updated all callers to use the appropriate form. Modified
the Windows allocator to only use guard pages for array-style
allocations, allowing us to enable them once again in debug builds.
[Aaron Giles]

Created new static class driver_list to wrap accesses to the list of
available drivers. Improved speed of driver lookups by relying on the
presorting done by makelist. [Aaron Giles]

Created helper class driver_enumerator as a helper for iterating
through the list of drivers. This class supports basic filtering and
iteration, and also serves as a temporary cache of machine_configs.
[Aaron Giles]

Created cli_frontend object to wrap all the CLI handling code in
clifront.c. Updated/simplified all the code to take advantage of the
driver_enumerator. [Aaron Giles]

Created media_auditor object to wrap all the auditing functions in
audit.c. Updated all users to the new interface. Note that the new
auditing mechanism is slightly out of sync with the romload code in
terms of finding ROMs owned by devices, so it may mis-report some
issues until the new ROM loading code is in. [Aaron Giles]

Added concept of a per-device searchpath. For most devices, their
searchpath is just the short name of the device. For driver_devices,
the searchpath is driver[;parent[;bios]]. This searchpath will
eventually be used by the rom loader to find ROMs. For now it is used
by the media auditor only. [Aaron Giles]

Created info_xml_creator object to wrap all the info generation
functions in info.c. Converted the file to C++ and cleaned up the
input processing code. [Aaron Giles]

model2.c: Corrected the revision level for Top Skater (USA) set
[The Dumping Union]

Various improvements to the Konami Viper driver [Ville Linde]

midqslvr: Add some hardware information [O. Galibert]

Added reverse-spin support to the stepper motor simulator
[James Wallace]

mpu4.c: Documented MOD 4 OKI program card ROM banking and improved the
BwB characteriser emulation. [James Wallace]

Fixed the I/O address in Intel 8257 DMA operations. [Curt Coder]

Fixes for non-native SDL builds on OS X [Paulo Cabral]

Added "Mandatory artwork is missing" error [Oliver St霵eberg]

Implemented 16-bit device callbacks. [Curt Coder]

Fix loading fonts on MacOSX. [Couriersud]

Delegates 2.0 implementation. Resdesigned how delegates work to make
them more flexible and simpler to use. Got rid of the proto_delegates
altogether in favor of supporting delegates that are bound to NULL
objects. Added a front-end template that supports "natural" syntax
favored by libraries like boost. Added support for static functions
that take reference parameters instead of pointer parameters for the
object type. Updated all delegate users in the system to the new
syntax. [Aaron Giles]

Changed the DIRECT_UPDATE_HANDLER to take a machine reference like
everything else in the system. Updated all users. [Aaron Giles]

Changed the FUNC() macro to automatically put an & in front of the
item passed. In general this works transparently, however it does have
the nice side-effect of catching situations where a variable is passed
instead of a function name. Fixed those cases to push the naming
upstream so that the name is now provided properly. Also added a
FUNC_NULL macro since FUNC(NULL) no longer works. [Aaron Giles]

tms5220.c: partially fixed perfect interpolation hack, disabled by
default. [Lord Nightmare]

segas24: Start untangling the Vogon poetry Atari Ace left is his wake.
Apply the new timing implementation per cgfm's analysis. Gain ground
is going to be stuck in free play mode. [O. Galibert]

tms5220.c: fixed perfect interpolation hack the rest of the way, now
it works as it did before 0.140 or so. [Lord Nightmare]

tms5220.c: improve perfect interpolation hack slightly, should be less
noisy after inhibit frames. [Lord Nightmare]
