New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
------------------------------------
Two Minute Drill [David Haywood]
Super Don Quix-ote [Ernesto Corvi]
Source Changes
--------------
Fixed the data fetch and scrolling calculation for almost all video
modes in the Amiga driver. [Ernesto Corvi]
Emulated the trench circuit in Space Encounters. [Adam Bousley]
Added win_output_debug_string_utf8(); a UTF-8 wrapper for
OutputDebugString(). Changed code to use it. [Nathan Woods]
Fixed the disassembly, operation, and cycle timing of many Thumb
instructions in the ARM7 core. [MooglyGuy]
Defined new osd core function osd_is_absolute_path(). Changed behavior
of core fileio so that absolute paths are identified and search paths
ignored in that case. [Nathan Woods]
Improved validity check for coinage order so that it prints out the
correct order if an error is detected. [Ernesto Corvi]
Fixed clocks and other details in Dream World based on new
measurements. [David Haywood, Guru]
Implemented video circuits in the Midway 8080 driver based on
schematics. Note that this affected the visible area, so overlays will
need to be adjusted. Standardized the visible area across all games.
Implemented Phantom II cloud generator. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed the contract of the tilemap_create() call so that it is
guaranteed to succeed or die trying. Cleaned up code paths that
checked the result of this operation to be simpler as a result.
[Atari Ace, Aaron Giles]
Added preliminary support for the built-in effects DSP in the SCSP,
which lots of games use for reverb, QSound, and other effects.
[ElSemi]
Removed archaic i8080_EXACT flag from the 8085 core. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Updated Midway 8080 driver to use properly computed video timings and
scanline interrupts. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed assertion in MPU4 driver. Fixed the mechanical meter operation,
enabling coin entry in Connect 4. [James Wallace]
Added mappings for break and pause keys. [Dirk Best]
Incorporated changes to MESS CPU cores to fix asserts and improve
Z80GB emulation. [Nathan Woods, Wilbert Pol]
Correctly connected sound IRQ in GX400/Nemesis driver. [R. Belmont]
Rewrote the SN76477 emulator from scratch. The main difference between
the old one and the new one is that it is based on measurements from a
real chip. Also the emulator is fully analog, meaning that
timings/frequencies, etc. are based on voltage levels. This gives a
much more true-to-life emulation where the weird behavior of the real
chip comes emulated for free. The code itself is also a lot simpler
and more understandable. [Zsolt Vasvari, Derrick Renaud]
Cleaned up stray variables from the crosshair drawing removal. Also
removed some orphaned function declarations. [Oliver Stoneberg]
Added the missing volume and frequency controls to the Berzerk driver
and s14001a core. Fixed the issue with random words being spoken
instead of the proper ones. Word is now latched at the proper time.
[Lord Nightmare]
Implemented flickering of the strobe light in Space Encounters, to be
eventually connected with artwork. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed driver_add/find/remove functions to fatalerror if they cannot
find their targets. [Aaron Giles]
Added support for screenless drivers. [Aaron Giles, Nathan Woods]
Fixed a couple of errors introduced in the OKI6295 pin shuffling.
[David Haywood]
Cleaned up DIP switches and added documentation to the Outrun driver.
[Brian Troha]
Fixed sound clock frequency in the NMG5 driver. [Brian Troha]
Fixed sound clock frequency in Night Slasher. [Sonikos]
Updated Sega System 16/18 drivers to be mono, and swapped button 1/2
to match instruction card. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Moved some of the tool sources to a new subdirectory tools.
[Aaron Giles]
Tweaked the main makefile to better support parallel builds.
[Aaron Giles]
Removed line array from mame_bitmap. Converted dozens of drivers over
to using BITMAP_ADDR macros instead. [Aaron Giles]
Changed automatic crosshairs so they are not quite so automatic.
They now need to be explicitly specified by the driver in the input
ports. Also changed the PORT_CROSSHAIR macro to take a shorter form
of the axis name. Updated all lightgun drivers to have this macro in
its default state. [Aaron Giles]
Happy 10th Anniversary! Today's release marks 10 years since the
original release of 0.1. After 10 years, hundreds of developers,
thousands of games, and tens of thousands (if not more) of hours of
hard work, MAME development is still going strong. Thanks to everyone
who has supported this project over the years!
Also a big thanks goes out to everyone who has contributed. Although
I am certain there are some people left out of this list, it should
give an indication of just how many people truly care about preserving
arcade history:

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

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

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

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

--------------
Removed unnecessary idle skipping code from the m92 and deco32
drivers. This allows removal of a couple of now-unused functions
from cpuexec. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Minor cleanup of Berzerk driver. [Lord Nightmare]
Removed cpu_gethorzbeampos() and replaced it with calls to
video_screen_get_hpos(). Also changed TMS34010 configuration to take
a screen number, and changed atarigen_get_hblank() to take a screen
number as well. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed the model2.c ROM definitions for some games that weren't even
loading and made the infamous unknown z-sort mode not a fatal error.
[R. Belmont]
Fixed a number of BIOS-only drivers to not crash when run.
[R. Belmont, Aaron Giles]
Fixed bug where the window thread would stop processing events when
mame was paused. [BUT]
Changed the 'Tournament' Street Fighter games to not have a network
adapter present by default. [David Haywood]
Fixed incorrect Eolith speedup patch from u3. [David Haywood]
Fixed regressions in 3 of the discrete games from 0.112u4.
[Derrick Renaud]
Fixed all analog controls for the newly enabled validity checks
including the following: [Derrick Renaud]
* demndrgn - changed to proper IPT_AD_STICK controls.
* konamigt, hcrash, rf2 - set to proper PADDLE control and fixed mask.
* overdriv - changed to proper PADDLE control.
* sspeedr - changed to IPT_POSITIONAL with PORT_REMAP_TABLE controls
for gas and steering fixing both.
* midvunit.c - changed games so the brake pedal shows on player1
* simpbowl - fixed port mask, now trackball works proper without
glitching
* ssrj - fixed gas pedal
* namcos2 - fixed inputs on all games (may need to delete nv files)
Added diplocations to the driver segas16a, segas16b, segas18, megaplay,
news, ninjadks2 and nemesis drivers. In segas16b, added in SDI
allow_continue. In megaplay (Mazin Wars) updated the name of dip with
the real name from game setting. [Ruben]
Actually included the RF5C400 changes mentioned for u4.
[hoot development team]
Split the sprint4 and ultratnk drivers again. Brought the Sprint 4
driver up to date. [Stefan Jokisch]
Added save state support to Combatribes and Jail Break. [Kevin Eshbach]
Added preliminary sound to Destroyer and Altair. White noise is
missing, and Draco is still silent. [Curt Coder]
Added tools to generate regression tests and mamedev.org-compatible
reports. The report generator is cross-platform, but the test running
code is Windows-only at the moment. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed regression in Nintendo games that did not specify a clock for
the NES APU. [Aaron Giles]
Rewrote the BSMT2000 to be more accurate. Various modes are now
software selected at startup based on the register value at reset
time. Changed all existing drivers so they properly hooked up the
reset line on the chip in order to make this control work. Also added
correct BSMT2000 ADPCM output. [Aaron Giles]
Defined several new exit codes for "unknown game" and "invalid config"
and changed the Windows OSD layer to output them. [Aaron Giles]
Removed obsolete joystick calibration junk from the osdepend layer.
If anyone needs this functionality, I will look into providing a way
for the OSD code to add menus in the UI. [Aaron Giles]
Changed file2str to be built into the obj directory. [Aaron Giles]

Began converting drivers over to the new more accurate video timing
functions (video_screen_* functions instead of cpu_*). This first
batch includes all the games using the TMS34010 chip and the Atari
games that use atarigen.c. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed Windows-isms in regrep.c. [couriersud, Aaron Giles]
Improvements to the kaneko driver. All the protection data should be
correct now. [Sebastien Volpe]
Added DIP switch locations based on information from the manuals for
the following drivers: Karnov, Magmax, Omega Race, Spiders, Bagman,
and Bank Panic. [Justin Szczap]
Added a call winwindow_ui_exec_on_main_thread() to allow code on the

[Ville Linde]
Properly fixed tile flipping in Mustache Boy. [David Haywood]
Built iButton data for ppd. [Ian Patterson]
Fixed the rest of the Atari games and the Cinematronics CCPU games to
use the newer video timing system. Also fixed reset problem in
Destroyer. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed sample audit to report all missing samples. [BUT]
Marked unknown dips for 005 according to manual. [Mike Ellery]
Updates drivers from C-E to use the newer video timing system.
[Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed timer dipswitch in Alien Syndrome set 1. [Don Maeby]
Moved throttling, frameskipping, fast forwarding, and timing into the
core. Removed the equivalent code from the Windows OSD layer. This
now relies on options being set for controlling these features by the
OSD layer via options.c. Deprecated the old osd_get_fps_text()
function. Changed osd_update() to take a parameter indicating whether
or not the frame was skipped. Added new function osd_sleep() to the
OSD core timing library. [Aaron Giles]
Added a new mechanism for building in fonts. A new tool, png2bdc can
convert a specially formatted PNG file into a binary cached MAME font.
This cached font can be embedded into MAME. A new default small UI
font is now included, and built via this process to replace the old
hard-coded one. The new font is proportional, so there is better use
of limited screen real estate in small video modes. Some balancing/
tweaking of the actual font still needs to be done, and some basic
functionality still needs to be added to png2bdc. Consider this a
work-in-progress. [Aaron Giles]

Note to OSD porters: several OSD-related changes are in this build.
Many options in the system are now defined by the core and looked up
using the options_* functions. This should allow a bunch of code to
be removed from most OSD ports. In addition the mame_file_error type
has been renamed to file_error, so a little search & replace action
is necessary.
Source Changes
--------------
Updated a number of Sega games to use the new video timing code.
[Zsolt Vasvari]
Added very preliminary SSP1610 CPU core. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Created a utility call win_is_gui_application() to determine if the
current process is a console or a non-console application. Added a
call to direct error output to message boxes if MAME is running as a
windows application (such as MAME32). This will allow MAME32 failures
to be reported to the user rather than silently fail. [Nathan Woods]
Updated NeoGeo driver to the new video timing code and raw screen
parameters. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Firebeat driver updates: [Ville Linde]
- Fixed the hardware error in Keyboardmania 2nd mix
- Added iButton for Keyboardmania
- Hooked up inputs for Pop'n Music 7
Updated Gridlee and Bally/Sente driver to use new video timing code
and raw screen parameters. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Created a UTF-8 wrapper for the Win32 API GetModuleFileName().
[Nathan Woods]
Updated Voodoo-based games to use the new video timing code and newer
MAME timers. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Major cleanup/rewrite of the Ultra Tank driver. [Stefan Jokisch]
Update to Sprint 4. This fixes the gear shift levers which were broken
with a recent previous change, and improves a few other bits.
[Stefan Jokisch]
Added back joystick deadzone handling behind a compile-time define as
a pattern for other OSD ports. [Derrick Renaud]
Implemented the mw8080bw interrupt generation more to how the real
hardware works (equivalent result as before). Added detailed
description of the video timing and the interrupt generation systems.
[Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed stupid sprite hack from Riddle of Pythagoras. [David Haywood]
Updated Starfire driver to use video timing from schematics.
[Zsolt Vasvari]
Some more 8080bw fixes: [Zsolt Vasvari]
- fixed Lupin III crash due to invalid sample.
- added video timing from mw8080bw. This caused the visible areas of
most games to change, so they will fail regression.
- Shuttle Invaders display is shifted off screen now ?but the PCB
notes confirm that it旧 a different hardware, so it will need its
own driver anyhow.
- created a new file for MB14241, which is the shifter IC used by
Invaders hardware games.
Renamed mame_file_error to file_error, since it is used throughout
the code including the utilities. [Aaron Giles]
Added stronger priority boosting when sleeping on Windows in the hopes
of getting more consistent frame rates. [Aaron Giles]
Added remaining Unicode characters up to 0100h in the built-in font.
[Aaron Giles]
Added a 'flags' parameter to osd_work_item_queue() and defined one
new flag: WORK_ITEM_FLAG_AUTO_RELEASE, which means that the work item
should be automatically released when completed. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the Windows OSD work code to only allocate events for items
when necessary, in order to conserve system resources. [Aaron Giles]
Changed refresh and VBLANK timing parameters throughout the system to
be specified in subseconds_t instead of as floating point frequencies.
[Aaron Giles]
Updated video timing in the Midway V-unit driver. [Aaron Giles]
Changed gaelco3d driver to use osd_work_items for rendering, allowing
multi-CPU systems to shift most of the rendering burden to a second
CPU. [Aaron Giles]

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

Fixed several SHARC opcodes where data transfer was done regardless
of the condition. This fixes many things, like the upside-down
geometry in Model 2B games. And also, probably all the remaining
clipping issues in Gradius 4. At least the planet zooming out in the
intro works now. [Ville Linde]
Added Z-clipping to the Model 2 driver. [Ville Linde]

disassembler. [Philip Bennett]
Updated Ultra Tank to component value code instead of a generic
emulation and added Sprint 4 audio. [Derrick Renaud]
Added save state support to the gaelco3d driver. Also added save
state support to tms32031.c and dmadac.c. [couriersud]
"Fixed" analog controls in some vector games by adding back a faux
VBLANK timing. [Derrick Renaud]
Changed the TMS340x0 core to clear the HSTCTLH NMI bit on an

Fixed an interrupt delay slot problem in the SHARC core. [Ville Linde]
Improved K001005 polygon rendering. [Ville Linde]
Introduced a video_screen_exists() call, to determine whether a given
screen exists. Updated the debugger to use this so as not to crash
if no screens are present. [Nathan Woods]
Fixed glitches in neogeo driver introduced in last update.
[Aaron Giles]
Added extensive (but still WIP) FD1094 debugging tools for help in
brute force searching for keys. [Aaron Giles]

Added the timing parameters for the Exidy 6502 driver from the
schematics, and updated a number of other drivers to use the newer
timing routines. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Exidy 440 driver update: [Zsolt Vasvari]
* added video timing from schematics
* added the 9 timing PROMs to the ROMsets
* all the games appear to use the same timing PROMs with the
exception of Top Secret, which sets the VBLANK 4 pixels earlier.
This fixes the game graphics, but cuts of the very bottom row of
the year display on the title screen. It's most likely a real
issue in the game, as tweaking the behavior adds garbage pixels
to all the other games
Updated the itech32 driver to configure video timing dynamically
according to how the chip is programmed. [Zsolt Vasvari]

- Decommissioned machine/mpu4.c, as the 6850acia code from Phil
does the same job, making one less thing to maintain.
Moved frontend commands and command-line handling into a central,
core-managed location clifront.c. This eliminates the need for
windows/fronthlp.c and windows/config.c and should make creating
command-line based ports much easier in the future. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed many of the remaining polygon glitches in GTI Club / Solar
Assault / Operation Thunder Hurricane. [Ville Linde]
Added save state support to the pkscram driver. [couriersud]
Removed all the timing kludges from machine/konppc.c. GTI Club is

will hang on network error. [Ville Linde]
Fixed the SUBTARGET=tiny build and removed some duplicate entries in
mame.mak. [Atari Ace]
Added full discrete emulation of Space Invaders. I think people are
going to be too used to the current samples and their relative
levels. The new relative levels are determined by the mixing
resistors. There are all different versions of the sound board, that
all have slightly different sounds/components. This should be the
proper Midway sounds. [Derrick Renaud]
Updated stvcd to be working enough that most Saturn games at least
die for some other reason, and a few actually do useful things.
Also included a small update to the core cdrom code so you can fetch
a sector without knowing in advance what format it is. [R. Belmont]
Added a concept of a "crosshair screen mask" internal to video.c and
created a static call to retrieve the mask. [Nathan Woods]

the ability to specify a core_options object to use. [Nathan Woods]
Improved noise emulation in the SN76496 emulator. Added several
variants which differ based on the noise generator and other
parameters. [Lord Nightmare]
Changed all plot_pixel and read_pixel calls to BITMAP_ADDRXX macros.
Removed the now-obsolete functions. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added support for aliasing sound types. This allows minor variants in
sound cores to share the same fundamental "type" so that the same
sndti_* functions can be used regardless of the subtype. [Aaron Giles]
Changed location of save state files. Now they are placed in the
<savestate>/<gamename> directory. Auto-generated save state files have
the name "auto.sta". All other save state files are named <slot>.sta.

Fixed and documented clocks in Omega Race. [Tafoid]
Improved accuracy of 6502 CPU cores to implement the read/write that
happens on every cycle. Moved the "undocumented" instructions from
the 6510 cores into the main 6502 core, since there were several
other versions of the 6502 cores which have the same undocumented
instructions. Removed some of the #define override magic that was
going on to make the code easier to read and understand. Updated the
6510 core port_read and port_write functions to include the ddr
register in the parameters. [Wilbert Pol]
Updated the MIPS3 DRC to align the stack to sixteen-byte boundaries
at the point of calls, as required by Mac OS X calling conventions.
It doesn't break compatibility with Windows or Linux calling
conventions. This fixes crashes in MIPS3 games when running on OS X
for Intel. [Vas Crabb]
Moved the -verbose option into the core. Added new function
mame_printf_verbose() which is governed by this option. Changed all
existing verbose output to use the new functions. [Aaron Giles]
Changed cpu_boost_interleave(), cpu_spinuntil_time(), and
cpu_yielduntil_time() to take mame_time parameters instead of
doubles. [Aaron Giles]

Changed memory system behavior so that masks can be specified
independently of mirrors. By default if the mask is 0 and a mirror
is present, the mask is implicitly ~mirror, just as before. But if a
mask is specified, it is not limited to the non-mirrored bits. This
allows you to independently control the mapping versus what is
returned to the read/write handler. [Aaron Giles]

Added support for controlling the default scale/offset for screens
at the driver level. This allows us to properly describe the screen
width/height and blanking in the driver independent of specifying a
good default size to crop the image to. [Aaron Giles]
Added border support to the Astrocade driver. Extended the starfield
generation out into it. Extended the blanking region out farther to
match information from the flyers and set the default scale/offset
of the games to crop appropriately. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed the CDP1869 to fill the border area with the background color.
Added cropping to the Cidelsa games. [Aaron Giles]

wrappers
* changed the interface to pass tile_info as a parameter and made
tile_info a static variable only accessible inside tilemap.c.

sets a zero-duration timer for resynchronization. Replaced instances
of zero-duration timers in the code with this more descriptive call.
[Zsolt Vasvari]
Defined new macro TIMER_CALLBACK, which should be used to wrap

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

Fixed a few errors related to headers in the source code. Added
missing self-includes, removed dead prototypes, and added location
comments in headers in mame/includes. In a few cases the audit
showed items that didn't need to be exported so they were made
static. [Atari Ace]
Cleaned up the inputs in gdrawpkr and changed the hold buttons to
"discard" since they are in fact discard buttons. [Roberto Fresca]
Added support for 14- and 16-segment LED displays to the MAME

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

over to using the new system. [Aaron Giles]
Removed underscores from some keycode token names. Thus,
KEYCODE_0_PAD now becomes KEYCODE_0PAD. This is to prevent confusion
when parsing multiple keyboard items. Due to this change, also removed
imperfect backward compatibility with older configs; some mappings
will still work, but some won't. Note that this change will also
break some existing ctrlr files; new ones will be provided.
[Aaron Giles]
Did some cleanup of the tilemap interfaces. Changed tilemap type
constants to be an enum prefixed by TILEMAP_TYPE_* instead of simply
TILEMAP_*. Removed unused members from the tile_info structure.

Maximum Force (No Gore version) [Brian Troha]
Source Changes
--------------
Fixed behavior of auto_realloc() so that it always reallocs from its
original pool. [Atari Ace]
Fixed divide-by-zero when running with -video none in some cases.
[Atari Ace]
ARM7 core fixes: [R. Belmont, Ryan Holtz]
- Fixed behavior when R15 is the source of a MOV
- Fixed flags calc for ADC/SBC
- Fixed flags calc for NEG
- Fixed flags calc for CMP
- Fixed time running backwards on Thumb instructions
- Fixed some ARM instructions doing indiscriminate change_pc()s
Fixed converting CD's containing audio that were ripped by cdrdao,
which was broken recently. The code is cleaner and more maintainable
now. [smf]
Fixed chdman_open() "w" to always create/truncate the file, leaving
"r+" to try opening first and then truncating. This matches behavior
in the core. [smf]
Added missing port 3/4 to M6803 cpu core. [Curt Coder]
Changed 6850ACIA to use MSB/LSB read handlers. [Curt Coder]
Fixed two minor bugs in the COP400 CPU disassembler. Hooked up the
internal 64 bytes of DATA RAM to the core. [Andrew Gardner]
Added support in the debugger for reading/writing memory without
translation. [Olivier Galibert]
MSM6242 updates: [Ernesto Corvi]
- Added support for 12/24 hour mode
- Added support for the HOLD bit
Galaxian driver updates: [stephh]
- fixed 'spcdraga' GFX ROMS loading
- 100% verified Dip Switches for all sets
- added long notes for all sets
Significantly revamped the tilemap rendering code. There are now only
two tilemap types, based on whether or not you want transparency
based on pen or color. All existing tilemap effects are built on top
of these two modes. The internal tilemap handling code has been
reorganized and simplified in a number of cases. For most games, this
change is transparent (har har), apart from the change in tilemap
type values. Several concepts within the tilemap system now have
different terminology for clarity and to remove some ambiguous naming
('priority', for example, was overloaded). A small tutorial and better
documentation is now present at the top of tilemap.h and provides
more details of the changes. [Aaron Giles]
New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
------------------------------------
Mahjong Almond Pinky [BET] (Roberto Fresca)
Jack Potten's Poker (bootleg 2) (Roberto Fresca)
NOTE: If you are experiencing sound stuttering due to not being able
to run your display at >60Hz, please give the -speed option a try.
You should be able to run MAME at a small emulation speed decrease
in order to get the game under your monitor's refresh rate.
Improved fixes to the chdman CD creating code. [smf]
Updated amspdwy.c driver to fix the DIP Switches for 'amspdwy' which
are slightly different than the ones for 'amspdwya' which were
correct. [stephh]
Fixed HP Saturn CPU core disassembler. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed clock speed and colors in Trivia Genius. [Lord Nightmare]
Cleaned up Taito drivers to use common defines for common input
ports across drivers. [stephh]
Removed redundant hard-coded definitions for Pole Position pedals.
[Alex Jackson]
Improved DIP switches for bombjack. [stephh]
Changed default layouts in BFM games to hide VFD by default since it
is not visible. [James Wallace]
Further improvements to the TMS5220 emulation and more unification
with the TMS5110 core. [Lord Nightmare]
Changed INI parsing to look for source file INIs in <inipath>/source
first. This is to disambiguate INIs where the game name matches the
source filename. If the INI file is not found in <inipath>/source,
then it is looked for in the <inipath> as before. [Aaron Giles]
Merged Raiden memory maps. Cleaned up the COP emulation code in
Raiden 2. [Aaron Giles]
Added new experimental control for overall emulation speed. This
lets you specify how fast/slow the gameplay should happen relative to
the original. -speed 1.0 means run at normal speed. -speed 2.0 means
run at 2x speed. -speed 0.5 means run at half speed. Note that the
sound pitch is shifted as a result. If you are running early Namco
games that normally run at 60.60Hz, you can run them at -speed 0.99
and it should run at under 60Hz, which should prevent sound stuttering
if your monitor is not capable of greater than 60Hz refresh rates.
If this turns out to be useful, future versions may support a
-speed refresh parameter that automatically tweaks the speed to keep
you under your monitor's refresh rate. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed disassembly of V30 bit instructions. [Aaron Giles]
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status
---------------------------------------------------
El Grande - 5 Card Draw [Roberto Fresca]
Source Changes
--------------
Updated dacholer.c driver with now all known Dip Switches. [stephh]
Changed MDRV_VBLANK_DURATION macro to accept subseconds directly
instead of converting from double. Added new macro USEC_TO_SUBSECONDS
to assist in this. Converted all drivers over to using it.
[Atari Ace]
Improved/fixed validation of memory maps to match current logic in
memory.c. Fixed a few problems that were identified this way.
Also removed construct_map_0 and isolated map construction to a
single function. [Atari Ace]
Added new AM_READ_PORT() macro which lets you define an input port
read callback based on a port tag. This is now preferred over the
previous technique of calling port_tag_to_handler() within an
AM_READ() macro. Updated all drivers that were using the latter
pattern to the new system. [Atari Ace]
Fixed subtle monymony regression from 0.36b10(!) [Atari Ace]
Fixed F8 CPU core to not clobbert the irq_callback on a reset.
[Wilbert Pol]
Amiga system updates: [Ernesto Corvi]
- Implemented the ECS-only BLTSIZV and BLTSIZH custom registers,
and modified BLTSIZE and the blitter to use them.
- Properly implemented the bit in VPOSR that indicates if we're
running on a PAL or NTSC Amiga.
- Fixed the PAL clock on the Pictomatic driver in alg.c
Added counter emulation to the COP420 CPU core. Hooked it up to
Thayer's Quest and added an alternate set. [Andrew Gardner]
Added missing PROMs to the Status Trivia driver. [Brian Troha]
Cleaned up several Taito drivers (opwolf.c, othunder.c, topspeed.c,
warriorb.c, wgp.c, rastan.c, rainbow.c, volfied.c) to use common
input port macros. Fixed the Dip Switches for all games (a few still
remain unknown though) and added many notes. Also fixed a couple of
things which were wrong in ninjaw.c driver. Improved the C-chip
emulation for "Operation Wolf" and its clones so it can now handle
multiple coinage settings. [stephh]
Improved the MCU simulation for aladbl so now the game handles coins
correctly. Fixed the Inputs to match an arcade cabinet and added
Dip Switches according to the game M68000 code. [stephh]
Added build tool to extract version information and add it to the
Windows version resource. [Nathan Woods]
Added a fairly complete WD33C93 SCSI controller emulation, and also
updated the cps3.c driver to use it. [Ernesto Corvi]
Hooked up lamps in Chase HQ. [R. Belmont, couriersud]
Changed NEC V30 CPU core to use a 16-bit data bus. Updated affected
drivers: raiden, raiden2, m72, m90, m92, m107, segas32, hng64,
deadang, dynduke, sengokmj, shanghai, lockon, tatsumi, fantland,
twins, gunpey, ttchamp. Separated V-series disassembler from the
i386 disassembler and updated it to use proper register and
opcode terminology. [Aaron Giles, Philip Bennett, Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Changed I8086 CPU core to use a 16-bit data bus. Updated affected
drivers: gottlieb, leland, tx1, fantland, tetriunk. Cleaned up
naming of CPUs (i86 -> i8086, etc.) [Aaron Giles]
Added 16-bit handlers to a number of the shared PC components.
[Nathan Woods]
Consolidated common code between drc and non-drc MIPS cores.
[Aaron Giles]

----------------
Raiden Fighters (Italy) [Corrado Tomaselli]
Source Changes
--------------
Converted the inputs in galaga.c to tags, using INCLUDE/MODIFY for
clones, and fixing the conditional extra lives dips in xevious and
digdug (bosco and galaga still need doing). Also added much more
information on the digdug sets, thanks to some excellent work by
stephh. [Alex Jackson]
Fixed sound chip frequency in the superdq driver. [Jim Hernandez]
chdman improvements: [smf]
* Fixed toc parsing to allow spaces and quotes in file names
* Supports "offset start length" track syntax that cdrdao creates
if you don't read subcode
* Tracks are always padded with zeros & not whatever data happens
to follow
* Moved cdrom_track_input_info out of src/lib/util/cdrom.h and
into src/tools/chdcd.h
* Added audio byte swapping support
Fixed DIP switches for Oscar (Japan Revision 0). [Corrado Tomaselli]
Added DIP locations to the aerofgt driver. [Fabio Priuli]
Amiga updates: [Erneso Corvi]
- Implemented ECS-Only BLTCON0L register
- Modified the amiga_interface structure to add a nmi callback and
a flags variable.
- Added AGA chipmem mask definition
- Added 32 bit data bus support to chipram. It's automatically used
if the chipset is AGA.
- Added clock chip constants in machine/amiga.h for 68k PAL and NTSC,
and 68EC00 NTSC. Updates drivers to use those constants.
- Added convenience macros to determine wether we're running with an
ECS chipset, AGA chipset, or 'ECS or AGA chipset'.
- Changed autoconfig reads to return 0x0000 instead of 0xffff.
- Fixed MSB value timer reads on the 8520 cia. We were previously only
updating the count for the timer when the LSB value was read.
- Added basic Akiko emulation to the cubocd32 driver. Both the Chunky
to Planar converter, and the I2C NVRAM should be fully implemented,
however, the CDROM functionality is not complete. It's only enough
to make the kickstart pass the Akiko checks.
Taito input ports cleanup, continued: [stephh]
- Updated includes/taitoipt.h with macros for games with only 1 button
- Converted the following drivers and added more documentation, fixing
incorrect inputs and DIP switches along the way: taitoair.c,
taito_h.c, taito_x.c
- Slightly changed the C-Chip emulation for 'superman' to behave in a
similar way as other Taito games
- Corrected some notes in some other Taito drivers
Changed verinfo code to parse the version.c file instead of relying
on linking against version.o. This appears to fix the link ordering
problem and also prevents it from being constantly regenerated on
each build. [Aaron Giles]
Significantly improved the i386 disassembler. Changed it so that it
no longer outputs 'byte ptr' except for ambiguous cases. Updated for
full 64-bit disassembly support. Added support for the full IA32
opcode matrix as specified by recent Intel manuals, including all
SSE opcodes and variants. [Aaron Giles]
Updated the x86 drc helper code to support externally-allocated cache.
Also added support for allocating data structures out of the cache.
Modified initialization so that it does not immediately generate code
but rather waits for a reset to do that. Fixed code generation bug
when generating [reg*scale] modrm forms. [Aaron Giles]
Added new functions to the memory system to support CPU cores
explicitly specifying the access mask on 32-bit and 64-bit data bus
systems. This enables the MIPS core to handle SWL/SWR and SDL/SDR
without a read/modify/write cycle. Updated the C and DRC MIPS cores
to use this new mechanism. [Aaron Giles]
Added new module x86emit.h which supports dynamic code generation for
both x86 and x64 systems. This new system is a far more complete
solution, though not all opcodes are defined yet. The interface for
this is also cleaner than the previous one defined in x86drc.h.
Existing DRC cores are still using the old interface, but the new one
is preferred for new development. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed recently introduced bug in the mips3 core that caused the C
core to launch off into nowhere after the first instruction.

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

Fixed regression that caused CHD games to crash if the CHD was not
present. Also fixed change that required write access to CHDs. [smf]
Fixed CHD search paths again so that they look in parent
subdirectories. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed security cassette contents to get Guitar Freaks 3rd Mix

MB86233 core changes: [ElSemi]
* fixed a double move opcode
* added a previously unknown double move opcode
Changed the way MAME handles options internally. Changed
mame_options_init() to return a core_options object, which is now
passed into mame_execute(). Moved mame_options() to mame.c, which is
now only valid while the emulation is running. Audit functions now
take a core_options parameter. [Nathan Woods]
More HD6309 fixes: [Tim Lindner]
* the SEXW instruction not longer clears the overflow flag
* now generating an illegal instruction trap if invalid registers
specified for TFM
Changed Windows message filtering to only apply to MAME game windows.
[Nathan Woods]
Improved graphics and cleaned up driver for srmp6.
[David Haywood, Tomasz Slanina]
Made a cleanup pass through the new x86emit.h code emitters, changing
the way memory is referenced and replacing macros with inline

Updated MIPS and PowerPC drc cores to use the new emitters. Removed
the old macro-based ones in x86drc.h. [Aaron Giles]
Added save state support to pacland. [Aaron Giles]
Made -autoframeskip aware of the -speed setting. [Aaron Giles]

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

Updates to the gdrawpkr driver: [Roberto Fresca]
- Added sound support to "El Grande - 5 Card Draw".
- All CPU and sound clocks derived from #defined crystal values.
- Some minor input cleanups.
ARM7 core fixes: [R. Belmont]
- Fixed unaligned reads/writes (again)
- Fixed minimum instruction bytes to account for Thumb mode
- Fixed missing dependency in ARM7 build rule
- Fixed Thumb mode ASR instruction
Added newly-dumped BIOS ROMs and preliminary emulation of the SPU
board in Pop'n Music 7 to the Firebeat driver. [Ville Linde]
Cleaned up input ports in the taito_z.c driver. [Brian Troha]
Updated the sources to support removing -wno-unused-function. Dead

further analysis and potential future removal. [Atari Ace]
Fixed a number of issues in the h6280 CPU core: [Wilbert Pol]
- Taking of interrupts is delayed to respect a pending instruction
already in the instruction pipeline.
- Added 1 cycle for decimal mode ADC and SBC instructions.
- Changed cycle counts for CSH and CSL instructions to 3.
- Added T flag support to the SBC instruction.
- Fixed ADC T flag to set the Z flag based on the value read.
- Added 3 cycle penalty to ADC, AND, EOR, ORA, and SBC instructions
when the T flag is set.
- Fixed cycle count and support for 65536 byte blocks for the TAI,
TDD, TIA, TII, and TIN instructions.
- Fixed RDWORD macro in the disassembler.
- Fixed setting of N and V flags in the TST instructions.
- Removed unneeded debug_mmr code.
- Fixed TSB and TRB instructions.
- Added 1 delay when accessing the VDC or VCE areas.

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

Changed gfx_decode structures so that they are defined abstractly by macros rather than directly specifying the structures. Added new macros GFXDECODE_START/GFXDECODE_ENTRY/GFXDECODE_END to describe the gfx_decode information. Converted all drivers over to using the new macros. [Atari Ace]
Fixed NMI handling in h6280 CPU core. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed vaportra to use an ASSERT/CLEAR mechanism instead of PULSE_LINE for interrupt signally. [Wilbert Pol]
Cleaned up input ports in sg1000a.c. Added DIP switch for the coins in dokidoki and service switch. Added DIP switch for flip screen in psychic5. [sonikos]
Cleans up the input port for macrossp.c driver and adds dip locations. [Brian Troha]
Adds dip locations and changes the Japanese inputs into PORT_INCLUDE and PORT_MODIFY. [Brian Troha]
Added macros to clean up definitions of the discrete sound interfaces. At the same time, made them all const. [Atari Ace]
Some miscellaneous changes to the megatech driver. [David Haywood]
More srmp6 improvements. [686]
Two small Model 2 fixes: [Ernesto Corvi]
- fixed triangle parser; all objects should be structurally correct now
- fixed normal transform to not use the translation vectors
Cleaned up code to make code and data static where possible and remove some dead code. [Atari Ace]
SCSP improvements: [R. Belmont, ElSemi]
- fixed issue with changing the pitch of an active voice set to backwards or bidirectional loop
- removed fake reverb
- fixed internal DSP to operate properly
- rewrote timers and interrupt handling
- fixed operation when 2 SCSPs are present
Fixed sound in almost all SCSP-equipped Model 2 games. [R. Belmont]
Added sound hardware and fixed sound ROM loading in Model 3 games. [R. Belmont]
Created an options_output_diff_ini_file() API, which is similar to options_output_ini_file(), but only outputs the options which are different than a base core_options. Changed INI outputting (and hence the -cc option) to omit headers that do not contain any options. [Nathan Woods]
Hooked up sound in discoboy. [Tomasz Slanina]
Renamed old gfx_decode structure to gfx_decode_entry in order to catch remaining/new drivers that aren't using the new macros. [Aaron Giles]
Changed profiler so that it is independently selected versus the debug build. Built with MAME_PROFILER=1 to enable the profiler on a non-debug build. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed MIPS3 disassembly of j/jal instructions. [Aaron Giles]
Switched MIPS3 64-bit DRC over to new system that is more aggressive about register allocation and mapping. Sadly, there is little to no obvious performance benefit, but the resulting code is better organized. [Aaron Giles]
Created new generic x86/x64 logging system x86log, and updated both MIPS3 DRC cores to use it. [Aaron Giles]
Created new generic DRC frontend management. Future work involves retooling the MIPS3 frontend around this new architecture. [Aaron Giles]

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

Added coin counters to cabal bootleg and hooked up the 2 sample player
CPUs in cabal bootleg. It seems there still are some problems, because
the coin up music is played during the game. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
More improvements to the Vs. Janshi Brandnew Stars driver.
[David Haywood]
More SCSP improvements: [El Semi]
- Fixed endianness issue on 8-bit samples and added interpolation
- Disabled modulation attempt (should fix the crash problems)
- Tweeked pitch calculation
Added the repeat count register (reg 0x34) access and immediate value
load to the MB86233 core (needed by Pilot kids). [El Semi]
Cleaned up the inputs, and fixed flipscreen in dynax.c. [Luca Elia]
Fixed several issues in seibuspi.c: [couriersud]
- added sound to rdft2us
- added coin-handling to single board games
- fix interrupt handling
- for rfjetus, adds a hack to enable Test-Switch to enter testmode
if no nvram exists
Fixed several issues in the i386 core: [couriersud]
- the INTR-line for i386 is a "level" line; changed interrupt
handling to trigger on asserted line
- in 32bit mode, determine trap/interrupt from gate-header
- interrupt line is read during two bus cycles. Adjust CYCLES
accordingly.
Added coin DIP switches and "teleport hole" DIP switch to crushs.
[sonikos]
Bug fixes for the z80gb cpu core: [Wilbert Pol]
- Fixed cycle count for taking an interrupt
- Fixed cycle count for BIT X,(HL) instructions
- Fixed flags in RRCA instruction
- Fixed DAA instruction
- Fixed flags in ADD SP,n8 instruction
- Fixed flags in LD HL,SP+n8 instruction
Fixed the linking issues when specifying MSVC_BUILD=1 and DEBUG=1.
[Oliver Stoneberg]

(notably some PowerPC configurations). [Bill Blake]
Added two more filters to the headon crash sound. Now, only the
envelopes for the crash sound filters are missing. [couriersud]
Loverboy input fixes: [wolf676]
- added and verified all DSW
- added and verified Button1 for both players
Added color PROMs for Cannon Ball. [Rob Walmsley]
Fixed several out-of-bounds array accesses in the code. [Andi]
Fixed mask rom test in prmrsocr. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Fixed 64-bit DRC bug that broke kinst in the previous release.
[Aaron Giles]
Added code to detect potential hotspots in the 64-bit DRC. Added
hotspots to all the seattle.c games and several of the vegas.c games.
[Aaron Giles]
Simplified the osd_work implementation. Removed the concept of shared
work items. Added new function osd_work_item_queue_multiple() which
allows efficient queueing of large numbers of work items. Changed
previous osd_work_item_queue() function into an inline that calls the
new function. [Aaron Giles]
Updated Voodoo code to use the new work functions. It now queues
small scanline chunks as independent items rather than using shared
items. Updated code to also copy some parameters to allow for greater
overlapping of emulation and rendering. [Aaron Giles]
For Windows work functions, added new scalable lock implementation
that hopefully has better performance characteristics when scaling
above 2 CPUs. [Aaron Giles]
For Windows work functions, added statistics gathering code. This is
on by default for the moment to help point to problems that might be
encountered with this version. [Aaron Giles]

[Tim Lindner]
Updates to various NeoGeo ROMsets. Some ROM names updated to match
verified names from chip labels. A lot of "older" sets have been
redumped to investigate the "64k m1/s1 issue" (also the m1
"overdumps"). Result was, ALL m1 ARE at least 128kx8; ALL s1 ARE
128kx8. The old m1 "overdumps" were incomplete dumps. In addition,
it has been discovered that all "p-roms" do have a minimum size of
4mbit. A number of sets have been restored to their "original"
state, and a number of others have been marked as bad dumps where
appropriate. Specific changes include: [Johnboy]
- bjourney: readded 128k m1 from Mame v0.34b5

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

Did a complete overhaul of the Mad Alien driver. [Stefan Jokish]
- merged memory maps and added mirror addresses
- doubled sound chip frequency
- implemented IRQ acknowledge for the sound CPU
- added stub functions for missing discrete sounds
- re-implemented tilemaps (now the tunnel walls scroll into view)
- hooked up 6845 CRT controller
- made several fixes related to color handling
- cleaned up inputs and added dip switch locations
- raised main CPU speed (guesswork)
- added save state support
Repaired the IC24 timer behaviour to fix some of Deal 'Em's bugs,
and also added inputs. [James Wallace]
Added save state support to skykid. [Mike Haaland]
Fixed tiny.mak based on new source reorg. [Tiago Pierezan Camargo]
Added support for CR-589 firmware to the System 573 driver. Made
substantial changes to the SCSI support, making it require fewer
hacks, and allowing one device to be derived from another. Also
added save state support. [smf]
Added SCI support to M6803/HD63701. [Curt Coder]
Fixed several misnamed sound samples interfaces. [Atari Ace]
Switched model1 lookup functions to be index based rather than
requiring a linear scan. [Atari Ace]
Added generic I2C bus memory support. Hooked up to the cubocd32
driver. [smf]
Cleaned up inline assembly support: [Aaron Giles]
* moved all inlinable functions into new module eminline.h
* defined a number of new inline functions, including:
- 32x32 -> 64 bit multiply
- fast approximate floating point reciprocal
* removed old inline definitions from osinline.h, osd_cpu.h, etc.
* eminline.h contains C implementations of everything
* new module eigccx86.h contains GCC-compatible x86/64 versions
* new module eigccppc.h contains GCC-compatible PowerPC versions
* eminline.h automatically detects GCC environments and includes
appropriate file
* osinline.h now only used in non-GCC environments
* updated osd/windows/osinline.h to contain MSVC-compatible versions
Added NORM implementation to the TMS32031 core. [Aaron Giles]
Created new rgbutil module which consists of inline functions for
common RGB manipulation. This module can be accelerated with SSE2 or
other SIMD operations. By default, only 64-bit Intel builds make use
of SSE, since it can be assumed on those platforms. Reimplemented the
namcos22 rasterizer in terms of these inline functions. Also updated
the gaelco3d rasterizer to use this module for faster bilinear
filtering. [Aaron Giles]
Made some progress on the Midway Zeus-based system. The 3d command
stream is now parsed and the format is partially understood, enough to

--------------
Cleaned up the inline assembly for both x86 and PPC, enabled the mul32 family assembly stuff on 32-bit x86, and fixed some compiler warnings on 64-bit GCC. In addition: [Vas Crabb]
* Provided single-precision reciprocal approximation code for PowerPC and x86 with SSE2.
* Filled in all other TBD functions in eigccx86.h for completeness.
* Conditionalised some code in eigccppc.h so that it isn't used when the compiler has 64-bit instructions available.
Added static qualifiers and renamed symbols in MAME in an effort to further tidy up the global namespace. Generally generic names were targeted and some symbols that were both static and extern. Some
specifics: [Atari Ace]
* K053247_ram was made static throughout and the existing K053247_export_config was used to obtain the value in xmen.c.
* The enums DS1991_STATE and DSP_TYPE were unused and were therefore removed.
* Dead code in cps3.c and thayers.c was discovered and commented out.
Made almost all input port definitions static. [Aaron Giles]
Obsoleted the GAMEB macro, which is no longer necessary. [Atari Ace]
Fixed casting issues in new inline validity checks. [R. Belmont]
Some build-related improvements to the sound cores: [Atari Ace]
* The SCSP dependency on mame/drivers/stv.c was removed allowing it to built independent of the driver.
* The WAVE dependency on MESS code was made explicit, so it can be built independentally of MESS.
* VOTRAX can now be built independentally of SAMPLES.
* The YM2612 core now can be built without including the YM3438 core.
* Unnecessary uses of BUILD_ and HAS_ macros have been removed.
* BUILD_ instead of HAS_ macros are used in 3812intf.c for consistency with the other fm cores.
Added DIP locations to several SSV games (in ssv.c). [Vas Crabb]
Corrected some errors in the SH4 core and implemented store queues and the basics of DMA. Added a call to simulate dma transfers with external devices. [Samuele Zannoli]
Expanded polynew.c to support quad rendering. Converted midvunit.cover to using the new quad rendering, which fixes a number of rendering issues that have plagued the driver since the start. [Aaron Giles]
Added Z-clipping logic to polynew.c. Converted namcos22 over to usingthat code. Simplified namcos22 significantly, working in quadsthroughout the lower-level pipeline and then handing the results off to polynew.c. [Aaron Giles]
Updated model3.c to use the new poly code, and changed much of the low-level implementation to make things easier. [Aaron Giles]
Defined a couple of new functions in eminline.h: atomic_increment32 and atomic_decrement32. [Aaron Giles]

Made some minor changes in the inline code. The result of atomic_add32 isn't used a lot of the time, so the final addition was brought out to allow it to be optimized away. Removed the unnecessary delta argument from atomic_increment32 and atomic_decrement32 in eminline.h, and added implementations. Changed the condition for
using rgbsse.h to include 32-bit platforms with SSE enabled. [Vas Crabb]
Did a major clean-up of the input ports in ssv.c. Brought out the common joystick, mahjong and quiz input setups, and then used PORT_INCLUDE to pull them in when needed. Also brought out the common coinage settings, to avoid needless repetition. [Vas Crabb]
Analyzed all driver interfaces (DRIVER_INIT, READ8_HANDLER, etc.) to determine which ones should be made static and properly tagged them all to reduce global namespace pollution. Some cases turned out to be dead code, which was also properly tagged. [Atari Ace]
Updated the Tube Panic driver, fixing the background scroll-in (it's smooth again now). The problem was caused by wrong synchronization between main and slave CPUs. Also modified the video driver to be scanline accurate and implemented more accurate interrupt handling. [Jarek Burczynski]
Altered TTL low high levels in res_net.c. This will broaden the color range a bit. Since the results are normalized, there is only a limited effect visible. [couriersud]
Cleaned up inputs and added dip locations in ms32.c. Also fixed dips in "47pie2" and "akiss". [Sonikos]
Fixed bug that caused incorrect input to be read if multiple inputs were mapped to the same mouse input under Windows. [Nathan Woods]
Fixed a bug in the i8051 core that improperly fired the Timer2 interrupt when it wasn't enabled. [Jim Stolis]

* Fixed panning calculation bug
* Fixed case where key-rate scaling is off
Added support for indicating that DIP switches are reversed in the DIP locations view. [Vas Crabb]
Added DIP locations for Midway Tron and the Nintendo Donkey Kong series (dkong.c). [Vas Crabb]
Added an Altivec/VMX implementation of the RGB utilities for our friends with G4, G5 and POWER5 CPUs (rgbvmx.h) and added rgbint_bilinear_filter and rgbaint_bilinear_filter to rgbsse.h (based on rgb_bilinear_filter/rgba_bilinear_filter) for completeness, as these functions exist in rgbgen.h. [Vas Crabb]
Updated model2.c, taitojc.c, and gticlub.c to use the new polygon routines. Deprecated the old poly.c and renamed polynew.* to poly.*. [Aaron Giles]
Unified poly.c callbacks so that tri and quad callbacks work the same way. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed display of floating point TMS32031 registers in the debugger. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed TMS32031 ABSF opcode to work as documented and not produce a proper negative. [Aaron Giles]

Updated DIP locations in the following drivers: [Vas Crabb]
- bublbobl.c: bublbobl, tokio
- cps1.c: all games
- dunhuang.c: dunhuang
- mario.c: marked all as active high (confirmed from manuals)
- segag80r.c: astrob2, astrob1, spaceod and pignewt
- segag80v.c: all games, fixed switch ordering
Made more functions static to reduce namespace pollution.
[Atari Ace]
Improvements to the Touchmaster driver, still labelled not working.
You can actually play tm and tm3k, but sometimes you have to reset
because they stop registering the touchscreen input. tm4k is
protected and hence totally unplayable. [Luca Elia]
Fixed compilation problems with altivec accelerators. [Vas Crabb]
Fixed bug in Voodoo statistics accumulation. [Atari Ace]
Reverted to old behavior where even with -switchres disabled,
MAME will use exclusive mode when rendering with Direct3D. This
means some of the switching to/from fullscreen mode problems will
come back, but should prevent confusion over poor performance by
default. [Aaron Giles]
Made it a non-fatal error if we are unable to change a joystick to
absolute mode in the Windows input code. Some drivers apparently
freak out about this. [Aaron Giles]
Defined a couple more inline functions: div_64x32_rem and the
unsigned equivalent divu_64x32_rem. Added inline implementations
for GCC x86 and MSVC. [Aaron Giles, Vas Crabb]
Cleaned up timer interfaces. Created new module attotime which manages
a new structure type attotime, equivalent to the old mame_time. All
time math functions are now implemented in attotime and have been
removed from timer.h. The following search/replace over the code has
been made:
In addition, all the mame_timer_* functions have been renamed back to
their original names timer_*, so it is timer_set() instead of
mame_timer_set() once again. The mame_timer object itself has been
renamed to emu_timer.

--------------
Added an API to access the current amiga_machine_interface.
[Nathan Woods]
Added more static qualifiers to core files. [Atari Ace]
Fixed reversed clock speeds in mexico86. [Brian Troha]
Changed malloc tracking to be decided at runtime in a function
use_malloc_tracking(). This makes it easy to turn it on or off by
recompiling only a single file. [Nathan Woods]
Split up MSVC inline assembler functions into MSVC specific headers,
and removed the assumption that Window's osinline.h would only be
used by MSVC. [Nathan Woods]
Optimized the hyperstone core, gaining ~50% speed improvement in most
games. Implemented clock prescaling and corrected interrupt priority
handling. Then fixed the clock speeds on the most of the games and
killed most of the speed gains in quite a number of them. (Sorry!)
[Aaron Giles]
Added explicit Core2 architecuture support to the makefile (CORE2=1).
Note that gcc 4.2.0 doesn't understand core 2, so this is equivalent
to compiling with pentium-m architecture and -sse3. Also note that
compiling native on a Core2 is not what you want because native will
think you are on a Prescott, which is P4-era hardware. [Aaron Giles]
Changed alignment of rgbint values in the namcos22 driver to work
around 32-bit gcc's lack of proper alignment handling. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed attotime routines to use unsigned math for multiply/divide,
solving problems with some games which errantly passed in -1 for the
factor. The new behavior matches the original behavior. [Aaron Giles]
Renamed colortable to colortable_t. Added a Machine->colortable
entry to hold the global colortable for games that use it. Updated
several more drivers to just use palettes directly rather than
hacking colortables. [Aaron Giles]
Source Changes
--------------
Fixed colors in loverboy. [David Haywood]
Fixed buffer overflow in K054539. [BUT]
SCSP improvements: [kingshriek]
- Added logarithmic envelope table
- Set envelope level to start at 0x17f in the ATTACK state
(0x3ff-0x280) as per Neill's notes
- Changed EG_SHIFT from 8 to 16 - more precision is needed to
differentiate the longer decay envelope times
- In the DECAY1-->DECAY2 transition, changed the "<=" to "<"
- Decreased the output of the effect out mixer a bit
- Fixed unaligned 16-bit samples
- Prevented keyoffs from killing slots when already in the release
state
- Envelope steps in the attack state are apparently exponential. To
account for this, I change the envelope output to linear for
attacks.
- Change the release rate calculation to use the decay table instead
of the attack one.
Fixed uninitialized variable in h6280 core. [Wilbert Pol]
Added meter support to the Cobra games. Cleaned up some of the
steppers code. [James Wallace]
Const-ified a number of data structures in the MAME system.
[Atari Ace]
Added PowerPC 604 processor support. Moved PowerPC opcode tables to
the CPU context to allow multiple simultaneous processors with
different opcode tables. [Ville Linde]
dkong driver updates: [couriersud]
- Added configuration switch to change palette between TKG02
(radarscp conversion) and TKG04 (dkong 2board)
- Added speech support (samples) to radarsc1

by addon board ...
- Updated game flags and added missing rom entries
- straightened memory maps
- Fixed bug in dkong3b memory map
- Externalized sound drivers to MACHINE_START in audio/dkong.c
- DAC Filter now uses lowpass sallen key filter
- Reorganized INPUT_PORTS
- Added Dip-Switch locations to 8ballact
- Fixed 8ballact according to conversion manual
- Reorganized code
Corrected a potential issue if more than one 8039/8035 is used by
a driver. Also should fix a potential inconsistency between saving
and loading a state. [couriersud]
Added an assert to ensure that the sound clear latch value is only
set at init time, since its value is not saved. [Aaron Giles]
Modified src2html to sort by filename rather than assuming that the
osd file finding routines would do so. [Aaron Giles]
Fix memory system regression caused by recent optimization. Fixed
another bug uncovered as a result in the decrypted opcode management.
[Aaron Giles]

Added new option -update_in_pause which enables updating the screen
bitmap while the game is paused. This is useful for debuggin in
some scenarios (and gets in the way in others). [Olivier Galibert]
Added new VIDEO_TYPE_NONE to indicate that there is no screen, and
fixed internal UI displays to ignore resolution parameters if it is
specified. [Dirk Best]
Added missing consts to the files in the emu, lib, and osd
directories. [Atari Ace]
Updated drivers to use const structs and arrays where possible.
[Atari Ace]

Implemented status flag in Star Wars matrix processor, which affects
gameplay speed. [Mathis Rosenhauer]
Changed M37710 CPU to use the CPU clock for its internal timer rather
than a hard-coded value. Fixes tempo in Namco NA-1 games.
[Phillip Bennett]

[Barry Rodewald]
Added initial FPU support to the SH4 core. [Samuele Zannoli]
Adjusted most conditional logging in MAME to use the idiom
"do { if (VERBOSE) logerror x; } while (0)". This has the benefit that
the compiler checks the syntax of the logging even in the case it will

IRQ callback maybe called multiple times, but this shouldn't
be a problem
- IRQ lines are cleared on a reset
Disabled code in the TMS5220 that set the Buffer Empty flag after a
stop frame. This fixes Victory. This might be the incorrect fix but
the old code wasn't working either. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Hooked up revx dcs reset line. Signaled IRQ on correct CPU when DCS
sends data back (duh). [Aaron Giles]
Removed unnecessary check that could cause SCSP hangs in grdforce.
[kingshriek]
Tweaked deco156 clock speed to be 28 to prevent the games from running

Made detection of dynamic attempts to install ROM/RAM handlers more aggressive. Previous checks would not catch modifications in DRIVER_INIT or MACHINE_START calls. Fixed a number of cases of incorrect usage throughout the drivers. [Aaron Giles]
Changed one of the cheat calls back to using more generic switch detection so they can be triggered via joysticks. [Aaron Giles]
Renamed sauro.c sp0256 internal rom to "sp0256-al2.bin". Removed BAD_DUMP flag from it as well. [couriersud]

Added dip locations to Real Break. Filled in a couple of dips for the Pachinko Gindama Shoubu games. [Brian Troha]
Fixed invalid memory_install_*_handler calls in drivers/williams.c. Emulated external OR circuit for all drivers using the PIA chip. This used to be internal to the PIA emulation, but, in fact, this is external logic. The PIA has two seperate INTA and INTB out lines. This fixes at least PlayBall. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added the ability to the HC55516 emulator to take an external osciallator. Updated Mouse Trap to use the new interface. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Cleaned up and merged ninjakd2, mnight and omegaf drivers into a single driver. Additionally: [Nicola Salmoria]
- added flip screen support to all games
- fixed sprite overdraw mode:
- ninjakd2 congratulations screen (e.g. stage 3) shows japanese characters which were previously missing
- in ninjakd2, at the beginning of a level items are visible during the initial fade in. I'm not sure if this is correct but the other effects wouldn't work otherwise
- in mnight attract mode, when the big ship is firing the other sprites no longer leave trails
- in mnight at the end of a level the screen is slowly filled with balls and then slowly cleared to begin the following level. Same effect in the death sequence during attract mode.
- added proper computation of sprites to be drawn taking into account double size sprites. This fixes sticking shots in mnight without need for a hack.
- lowered ninjakd2 PCM playback rate to 13020 (from 16000). This seems to sound better and is a round division from one of the master clocks.
- removed ROM patch that was used to avoid the input protection in omegaf, added a rough but effective protection simulation.
- corrected some dip switches
- hooked up sound cpu reset line
- simplified ROM loading for the older games swizzling address lines in driver init.
Added MDRV_SOUND_ROUTE_EX to specify target input channel. Added input id to route struct. Fixed DISCRETE_INPUT_STREAM and added input channel # to DISCRETE_INPUT_STREAM. [couriersud]

Fixed Ninja Kuna. Cleaned up memory maps. Renamed files to ninjakun.c. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added MC3417 and MC3418 variants to the HC55516 sound emulation. Changed Mouse Trap to use MC3417. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed saving i8085 callbacks across a reset. Added 'pull' callback for the SID pin. This is needed by the Red Alert voice board. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Made the text displayed by the various UI sliders more intelligent. Basically, it will only print an index for an item if there are multiple of a given type. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Updated jailbrek clocks and video timing based on measurements. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed i8051 timers from firing when not enabled. Checking TCON alone is not enough to invoke timers. Added IE SFR flags in conditional. [Jim Stolis]
Added a _CALL variant to all prototype macros. The use of these should make it easier to change the signiture of these functions in the future. Replaced existing calls with macro where appropriate. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed VIDEO_START_CALL(generic) from all drivers not needing it, which were all of them. Removed VIDEO_START_CALL(generic_bitmapped) from jpmimpct. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed YM2203 clock in stfight to 3MHz (compared against OST) [Yasuhiro Ogawa]
Improved linear zoom effect resolution to address gaps in CPS3 rendering. [OopsWare]

but matches the flyer perfectly
- added speech
- fixed AY-8910 sounds
- odds and ends
- corrected colors in Demoneye-X
- added some sound to Demoneye-X
- marked Demoneye-X it NOT_WORKING, due to the (still) missing 3rd gfx layer that makes it impossible to pass the 2nd level.
Added all the known Naomi BIOS dumps along with descriptions and information about region bytes & version numbers. [Brian Troha]
Removed the freely distributable Exidy games' dependency on Berzerk. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added support for the BLX opcode in ARM7 THUMB mode. [SGINut]
Verified DIP locations from manuals for scramble and 800fath. [RansAckeR]
Changed S14001A emulator to allow setting the clock frequency instead of the clock multiplier. This is how the real chip works. Changed the Berzerk driver to set the S14001A clock as per the schematics. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed the use of the global Machine from a number of places in the code. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed issues flagged by MSVC warning C4305 (type truncation). Almost all of these are harmless double->float narrowing in initializers, but one warning spotlighted a bug in segasyse.c, where code to use a higher sprite number had no effect due to the insufficient range of UINT8. [Atari Ace]
Removed /wd4550 for VS7/VS71 compilers (expression evaluates to a function which is missing an argument list). Fixed some VS7-specific issues (OPTIMIZE=0 at least compiles now). [Atari Ace]
Added a missing case statement in sm8500d.c, noticed while reviewing dead code warnings. [Atari Ace]
Corrected Diet gogo h6280 clock so that it behaves correctly with Charles Macdonald fix to the cpu core. Verified and corrected frequencies and pin 7 okim6295 on the following games: The new zealand story (3 z80 version), Trio The punch, Vandyke, paradise.c games, Downtown, Shaolin's Road and Twins. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Removed all peplus memory hacks and game specific DRIVER_INIT. There are now just two DRIVER_INIT, one for normal boards and one for superboards. Temporarily disabled AutoHold Cheat but documented addresses for future update. [Jim Stolis]
Added further unencrypted opcodes to risky challenge. The game now boots with the intro animation. [robiza]
New clones added

Standard Draw Poker (PP0447) [Jim Stolis]
Night Stocker (set 2) [Andrew Gardner]
Trivial Pursuit (Genus I) (set 2) [Andrew Gardner]
Source Changes
--------------
Added deprecat.h that contains some deprecated/discouraged contructs.
The idea is to create extra work if a driver wants to use these and
hopefully gives an incentive to look for an alternate solution. Added
#include of deprecat.h that rely on these contructs. Removed a bunch
of unneccassary #include's from these files. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Simplified Star Fire driver. [Zsolt Vasvari]

as an option to copybitmap. Source tree needs to be recompiled
as the transparancy mode enum has changed.
- Removed TRANSPARENCY_NONE_RAW, TRANSPARENCY_PENS_RAW and
TRANSPARENCY_PEN_TABLE_RAW as they were no longer used.
- Changed copybitmap and copyscrollbitmap. There are now 2 versions
of each, one without and with transparency.

* fixed wrong resistor value (22K to 2.2K) - verified on spelunkr
and kidniki hires pcb pictures
* Changed resistor network calculation based on assumption that cs
line is active either on tiles or sprites color prom.
Simplified the video code for crgolf. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added PCB layouts for Penguin Bros & Puzzle De Bowling based on
Hi-res pics. Corrected the seta2.c 68301 base clock as 50MHz / 3
(16.66666MHz) as all the Seta2 hardware has a 50MHz OSC. Secondary OSC
are for other chips (28MHz and or 32.53047MHz). [Brian Troha]
Simplified video code and adjusted some set names in the leland
driver. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Replaced tables with equations in the Sega C2 driver.
[Nicola Salmoria]

appoooh, bking, bladestl, blueprnt, carpolo, centiped, cop01,
cosmic, ddrible, irobot, ace, alpha68k, arabian, bfm_sc2, carjmbre,
cclimber, cherrym2, combatsc, contra, fastlane, hcastle, labyrunr,
cham24, multigam. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed non-existent, second M6295 from Hit the Ice. Fixes missing
sounds (e.g. team select screen). Hit the Ice/Violence Fight now
share the same sound CPU memory maps. [Philip Bennett]
Improved DIP switches according to manuals for the following drivers:
wboy, chplft, extdwnhl, zingzip, zaxxon, congo, vanguard, zarzon,
nibbler, segag80r.c, yard, kaneko16.c. [RansAckeR]

MPU4 coding style. [James Wallace]
Resolved all unknown dips in the galpani2 driver according to kaneko's
docs, unified memory maps of both CPUs and repositioned a pair of
graphic ROMS. [Luis Faria]
Made some minor improvements to 1942.c & 1943.c DIPs. Improved
segas16a.c, segas16b.c & system16.c DIPs and added DIP locations
from manuals. [RansAckeR]
Removed distinction between *_gettotalcycles() and
*_gettotalcycles64(). All functions now return 64-bit results. Updated
all call sites appropriately. [Aaron Giles]
Further improvements to SCSP FM. [kingshriek]
Moved cpu_getiloops() and cpu_scalebyfcount() to deprecat.h. Added
#include "deprecat.h" where necessary to make this happen. Cleaned up
cpuexec.c/.h to latest core style. Cleaned up implementation of
extended INP header in inptport.c. Removed external access to
cycles_currently_ran(). Replaced use of cycles_currently_ran() in
v9938 code with mame_rand(), since that is effectively the same thing.
[Aaron Giles]
Added dip locations to about half the games in seta.c. [Brian Troha]
Removed champbas color PROM. Now uses TRANSPARENCY_PENS instead of
TRANSPARENCY_COLOR. Hooked up palette bank selector from schematics,
though I am not sure if it is actually used by the code. Changed set
names to match title screen, which is why baseball is spelt as
"Base Ball". [Zsolt Vasvari]
Some minor cleanup to the equites driver, including memory map
merging. [Aaron Giles]
Added new option VIDEO_UPDATE_SCANLINE, which cases VIDEO_UPDATE to
be called for every visible scanline. Removed manual implementation
of this in timeplt, in favor of using the new flag. There are
probably many more drivers that can leverage this. [Aaron Giles]
Added stream_get_sample_rate(), stream_get_time(), and
stream_get_sample_period(). These functions are not really tested yet
-- make sure they give reasonable results when first used! Updated
streams.h header to latest core style. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed reset crashes in all Z180 games. Removed the various busy loop
and non-exact optimzations from the Z180 core. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Correct colors in Birdie King 3 -- just needed a new dump. Fixed
incorrect ROM names. Switched color decoding to use the resnet code.
[Zsolt Vasvari]
Cleaned up the rockola.c driver. Fixed dip switches for all games.
Added notes about the games. [stephh]
Reorganized exidy440 audio code to make it easier to eventually use
the MC3417/18 emulation directly. Added MC3418 variant support to the
HC55516 audio code. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Updated williams driver to use VIDEO_UPDATE_SCANLINE (most bitmap-
based drivers should.) Converted to 32bpp to catch mid-screen palette
tweaks. Removed some unnecessary read/write handlers. [Aaron Giles]
Improved colors in circusc, gyruss, gotya with the resnet code.
[Zsolt Vasvari]
Significant improvements to Lock-On. Added POLL input handling to the
NEC V20/V30 core. [Philip Bennett]
Changed debugger-related code to be based off a new makefile define
(DEBUGGER) which sets a new compile-time define (ENABLE_DEBUGGER).
This means that MAME_DEBUG no longer means "enable debugger", it
simply enables debugging features such as assertions and debug code
in drivers. Also removed the various levels of opbase protection in
memory.h and always just turned on full bounds checking. [Aaron Giles]
Added some instructions to the H8/30xx CPU: [Luca Elia]
or.l ERs, ERd
rotl/shal.l ERd
not.l/neg.l ERd
exts.w Rd
sub/or/xor.l #Imm:32, ERd
bset/bnot/bclr.b Rn, @ERd
bst/bist.b #Imm:3, @ERd
bnot.b #Imm:3, @ERd
Added H8/3007 & H8/3044 variants with their memory maps. Preliminary
implementation of the H8/3007 timers. [Luca Elia]
Added AM_WRITEONLY as a shortcut for AM_WRITE(MWAx_RAM). [Aaron Giles]
Cleaned up Kangaroo driver: [Aaron Giles]
* documented MB8841 (needs to be decapped to get code)
* proper video timing
* full memory maps
* simplified and more accurate video logic
More opcode improvements to Risky Challenge. [robiza]

In the cps2 driver, Changed the GAME definitions to reflect how many
players and how many buttons there are for each game. Rewrote the
INPUT_PORTS definitions to use PORT_INCLUDE, PORT_MODIFY and
PORT_CUSTOM macros. Added a few notes about the inputs when I thought
they were needed to avoid wrong bug reports. Started to clean the
driver. [stephh]
Added PCB and/or chip docs updates for Blaze On (kaneko16.c),
Sand Scorpion (sandscrp.c), Flash Point (segas16b.c). [Brian Troha]
Fixed kangaroo colors by assuming an inversion not present in the
schematics. [Nicola Salmoria]
Added the ability to pass absolute paths to mame_schedule_save() and
mame_schedule_load(). [Nathan Woods]
Naomi/DC updates: [Samuele Zannoli]
- Add SH4 I/O ports
- Connected the 93C46 of the naomi and the x76f100 of the rom board
and filled them with dummy data to satisfy the BIOS

World PK Soccer V2 (ver 1.1) [David Haywood]
Source Changes
--------------
csk.c driver improvements: [Mirko Buffoni]
* Added DIPLOCATION macros to all Dip Switches. All DSW are verified through test mode.
* Fixed custom_io_r which is used for protection but also for keyboard input.
Fixed build with external zlib. [R. Belmont]
Completed old-style colortable removal. Removed MDRV_COLORTABLE_LENGTH macro. Updated uigfx to display new-style color tables if present. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Reorganized/minor clean-ups to Mad Alien driver. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Converted SNES (except debug code) to RGB32 as it was a serious abuser of the palette system. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added colortable_palette_get_size() to emupal. Added some more asserts to catch errors. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed Dip Switches (especially coinage) and inputs for 'mpatrol' and 'troangl' (and their clones). Tried to "unify" the two drivers (I still think that some things can be merged). Added iremipt.h source
file (same purpose as taitoipt.h). Fixed Dip Switches and inputs for 'alpha1v'. The game is now more playable to me but I left the GAME_NOT_WORKING flag as I think there are still some things to look at). [stephh]
Changed IREM cpu decryption to be 'real-time' (it's a feature of the CPU). Moved decryption table setup to 'config' struct for the CPU. Added latest tables from robiza, making Risky Challenge playable,
promoted it to working. Told CPU core to not decrypt code after brkn instruction, enabling it again on iret, allowing me to remove several 'don't decrypt range' hacks in the code. Updated all drivers accordingly. Currently the disassembly is a bit weird now, this will need looking at. [David Haywood, robiza]
Added and hooked up AICA (Naomi sound chip). Naomi boot sounds now play. Since it's an SCSPx2 with ADPCM instead of FM it's already feature-complete except filter envelopes. A bug in the ARM7 core causes incorrect pan/level values to be computed in e.g. the Naomi SOUND TEST menu. This is not a defect in the AICA. [ElSemi, Deunan Knute, kingshriek, R. Belmont]
Fixed Dip Switches (especially coinage) and inputs for '10yard' (and its clones). Tried to "unify" the driver with m52 and m57 drivers (I still think that some things can be merged). [stephh]
Fixed unaligned 32-bit reads in the ARM7 core. [R. Belmont]
Fixed misaligned backgrounds in mpatrol caused by recent changes. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Minor code cleanups. Added static/const where appropriate, plus some include fixes. Reverted some of the changes to build.mak from u1 which made some MSVC builds fail, and adjusted/optimized an m10.c gfx_layout. Added some missing cores to cpuintrf.c, sndintrf.c and added some missing #if's to 5220intf.c. [Atari Ace]
Fixed one or two dips in the mirage.c driver and found the "service" switch and likely start of inputs. [Brian Troha]
Removed expand_machine_driver(). Replaced with machine_config_alloc() and machine_config_free(). Updated all call sites. Normalized info.c style and simplified some of the code. [Aaron Giles]
Renamed machine->drv to machine->config to reduce overloading of the term "driver". [Aaron Giles]
Simplified collision detection in taitosj and tank8. [Zsolt Vasvari]
New module: devintrf.c/.h. Implements a generic device interface similar to the sound and CPU interfaces. [Aaron Giles]
New module: mconfig.c/.h. Moved all machine_config and MDRV_* macros here, out of driver.c/.h. Added MDRV macros for adding/removing/ configuring devices. [Aaron Giles]
Deprecated the following constants because global constants that pretend to document things but which are only guesses are dumb:
- DEFAULT_60HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_30HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_REAL_60HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_REAL_30HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_60HZ_3S_VBLANK_WATCHDOG
- DEFAULT_30HZ_3S_VBLANK_WATCHDOG
Updated all drivers to explicitly specify the equivalent bogus times. Added comments for the "REAL" VBLANK durations to indicate that they are not accurate. [Aaron Giles]
Improved some DIP switches, added some DIP locations, replaced IPT_COINx with IPT_SERVICE1 where appropiate, and simplified some control definitions in the following drivers: alpha68k.c, actfancr.c, aeroboto.c, aerofgt.c, aliens.c, ambush.c, amidar.c, amspdwy.c, angelkds.c, appoooh.c, arabian.c, argus.c, arkanoid.c. [RansAckeR]
Connected the Shadow Warriors buttons like they are wired on the original pcb (which is jamma). [Corrado Tomaselli]
Fixed multi-session crash with Namco System 2 games. [Atari Ace]
Improved Print Club DIP switches. [Edward Swiftwood]
Fixed a few corner cases in the 6840 emulation based on running the MPU4 test ROMs, and added the ability to dynamically alter the external clock frequencies in game. [James Wallace]
Changed the 6850 core to allow dynamic RX and TX clock alteration, to at least try to remove a few of the MPU4 timing problems. [James Wallace]
Updated documentation of the MPU4 Video board. Added documentation of the Cosmic Chasm crystals, and merged the memory maps. [James Wallace]
Fixed validation fail of '_mul_32x32_hi()' and '_mulu_32x32_hi()' inline function when compiled GCC v3.3.5 with I686 optimization. [KO Myung-Hun]
Verified clocks on Rainbow Islands and Rambo 3 and Raiden 2. Reverted sound OSC of Truxton 2 to 27mhz/8 since the original OST runs at this speed. The pcb I measured the previous clock was 28mhz/8 and it's a different pcb version from the common one. Since mame doesn't support multiple OSC I prefer to use the 27mhz one. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Fixed some incorrect rom dumps for Double Dragon 3 (Some of the dumps were based of the bootleg and not the original.) and updated the name and location to actually match that of a real board. [Kevin Eshbach]
Added DIP locations to Combatribes and Battletoads. [Kevin Eshbach]
Added video_screen_update_now(int scrnum) to force a screen update up to the current beam position. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Pulled remaining vestiges of old-style colortables: [Aaron Giles]
* PALETTE_INIT no longer has a colortable parameter
* removed game_colortable and remapped_colortable from machine_config
* updated a few stragglers that still referenced these fields
* removed tile_draw_colortable from tilemap.c
Changed the input port tokens to use a union instead of casting everything to FPTR. In the future, C99-enabled compilers will be able to achieve type safety with designated initializers. [Aaron Giles]
Added i8749 CPU variant for MESS. [Curt Coder]
Added missing SH4 instructions and bugfixed the FPU. Improved Naomi I/O board emulation and added working controls. [Samuele Zannoli]
jedi.c improvements: [Zsolt Vasvari]
- Complete memory map
- Crystals
- Driver state structure
- Text layer is rendered at the same time as the background
Changed all drivers using the MC6845 chip to use the new device interface. Removed mc6845_config. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Reorganized Gameplan driver. Changed Trivia Quest use the Gameplan video code. Added crystal for Gameplan pixel clock. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed the unnecessary pen array lookup from some INDEXED16 drivers. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed the per-screen palette_base. This was an idea that never really worked out, nor have we really needed it. [Aaron Giles]
Defined a new device type VIDEO_SCREEN. Currently this has no live functionality, but merely serves as a placeholder/identifier for video screens. Eventually some of the screen management code may move into the start/stop/reset functions. [Aaron Giles]
Changed MDRV_SCREEN_ADD to specify a screen type (RASTER, VECTOR, LCD for the moment). Removed the older VIDEO_TYPE_RASTER and VIDEO_TYPE_VECTOR; this information is now determined by walking the screen list. [Aaron Giles]
Changed MDRV_SCREEN_* macros to build up VIDEO_SCREEN devices rather than storing values in the screen[] array. Removed the screen[] array from machine_config. Modified all code referencing Machine->config->screen[] and changed it to iterate over the devices using the new video_screen_first() and video_screen_next() functions. [Aaron Giles]
Removed implicit screen #0. This means that ALL DRIVERS MUST EXPLICITLY DECLARE THEIR SCREENS. Updated all drivers to do so. While there, grouped all MDRV_SCREEN_* parameters together. Also removed unnecessary VIDEO_TYPE_RASTER and VIDEO_TYPE_VECTOR. Also removed VBLANK and bitmap format information from vector games. This was painful and very tedious. [Aaron Giles]
Changed game information to display info about all screens. [Aaron Giles]
Changed Beathead driver to use partial updates instead of caching scanline level information. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added state_save_combine_module_and_tag(). Its purpose is to create a unique name for state saving purposes in modules that are tag based (no index). [Zsolt Vasvari]

Source Changes
--------------
Corrected clock speeds for the megasys1.c boards. Yes, the games
actually ran _THAT_ slow! [Brian Troha]
Makefile & build system update: [couriersud]
* verinfo: New syntax. verinfo now uses the following syntax:
verinfo.exe -b windows|winui|mess.
Does not depend on compile time defines any longer.
* makefile will include src/osd/$(CROSS_BUILD_OSD)/build.mak if it
exists. This was necessary to enable cross builds for winui.
Cloak & Dagger video code cleanup: [Zsolt Vasvari]
- resnet conversion - colors are now signficantly less saturated
because of the 1K pull-ups. This is noticable in the agent's coat
and the sky color, for example.
- Added bitmap palette selection based on the 128H line. Not sure
where this is actually used in the game.
Removed unnecessary machine->pens[] lookups in a large number of
drivers. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added built-in layout to Space Tactics. Cleaned up and reorganized the
driver. [Mr. Do!, Zsolt Vasvari]
Switched the funworld color decoding routines to use resnet code.
[Roberto Fresca]
Fixed namcos2, namcos21 crashes due to nvram allocation in
MACHINE_RESET. Created MACHINE_START and move allocation there.
[couriersud]
Updated info.c to output raw video parameters (pixclock, htotal,
hbend, hbstart, vtotal, vbend, vbstart) via -listxml if they have
been given. [couriersud]
Removed some deprecat.h includes from osd layer: [couriersud]
* add machine as parameter to osd_update and osd_update_audio_stream
* change Machine to machine and remove include deprecat.h
Added a rule in vconv.c to make VS2008 compile seamlessly.
[Aaron Giles]
bionicc.c: [couriersud]
* Added cpu clocks from schematics
* Comment about z80 nmi generation
Fixed the DAC sound in X The Ball. [Zsolt Vasvari, Mamesick]
Removed the confirmed bad dump of Virtua striker 2 2000. [Brian Troha]
Fixes crash in Raiga. [Zsolt Vasvari, David Haywood]
drawgfx.c improvments: [Zsolt Vasvari]
- Added some asserts to drawgfx and drawgfxzoom
- Moved some variable declarations so that they are only visible
where they are actually used
Removed 8bpp bitmap support from drawgfx. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed MDRV_PALETTE_LENGTH from vector games, which would trigger
an assert in emupal.c (debug build) [couriersud]
Added new module: tokenize.h. This centralizes the behavior of
tokenizing data structures, as currently used by the input port
system. Redid the input port tokenization to be more compact and make
use of the new macros. Added support for designated initializers in
C99 and GCC builds to enforce type safety. [Aaron Giles]
Removed bogus DIPs from the NSS driver. [R. Belmont]
Improved the global "flip_screen" macros and variables: [couriersud]
* fix issues related to flip_screen being a define
* add "int flip_screen_get(void)"
* clean up drivers with collisions
* remove flip_screen macro
* flip_screen_x and flip_screen_y made static
* add flip_screen_x_get() and flip_screen_y_get()
* change writes to flip_screen_x to flip_screen_set_no_update()
* added save state calls for flip_screen_x and flip_screen_y
Converted MACHINE_DRIVER definitions from function constructors to
tokenized lists. For the most part this is a non-invasive change,
except for those drivers using MDRV_WATCHDOG_TIME_INIT. In order to
allow for tokenization of attotimes, a set of new macros is provided
called UINT64_ATTOTIME_IN_x() which follows the same pattern as
ATTOTIME_IN_x() but packs the attotime down into a single 64-bit
value for easier tokenization. Fixed several errors in the machine
drivers which were caught by the additional checks now done in the
machine config detokenization code. [Aaron Giles]
Separated MDRV_DEVICE_CONFIG_DATA into 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Added floating-point versions with configurable resolutions.
[Aaron Giles]
Converted speakers into devices. Machine->config no longer houses
an array of speakers; instead they are iterated through using the
new macros (defined in sound.h) speaker_output_first() and
speaker_output_next(). Updated all relevant code to do this.
[Aaron Giles]
Added typedefs for all the machine config callback functions at the
top of driver.h. [Aaron Giles]
Big changes to Cal Omega driver: [Roberto Fresca]
- Renamed the driver to calomega.c.
- Extended the driver to support all the other Cal Omega systems.
- Switched to XTAL def.
- Fixed CPU & sound clocks based on official diagrams.
- Replaced the AY-8910 with AY-8912 to match the real hardware.
- Unified some memory maps.
- Splitted machine in sys903 and sys905.
- Fixed memory map offsets for sys905.
- Added a list of official/unofficial games, and their states.
- Fixed a bug introduced when extended the color PROM region to
eliminate colortable length.
- Updated technical notes.
Merged memory maps for a number of drivers beginning with a digit or
the letter 'a'. [Aaron Giles]
Cleaned up the Crazy Climber video driver, mainly via tilemap
conversion. This fixes the ape sprite positioning in Crazy Kong - no
more gap between feet and platform. Merged Yamato driver with Crazy
Climber. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Converted XX Mission to tilemaps. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed VIDEO_START(generic) - no longer used. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added PGM.c EEPROM/hiscore saving. [Creamymami]
Added support for original Omega Race state PROM. [Mathis Rosenhauer]
Added support in the MC6845 emulation for cursors. All 4 blinking
modes are supported. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added a stub implementation of the Rockwell 6545. [Nathan Woods]
Added basic support for the NEC uPD7801, uPD78C05, and uPD78C06 CPUs
to the uPD7810 cpu core. [Wilbert Pol]
Some improvements to the 6850 ACIA CTS pin checking logic and the MPU4
ACIA clock logic. [James Wallace]
Another Risky Challenge opcode to fix a sprite bug and a general
clean up of the remarks in the driver. [robiza]
Added dip locations to astinvad, bonzeadv, cadash, asuka, mofflott,
galmedes, atarifb, atarifb4, abaseb, soccer. Added DIP locations and
improved DIP switches in seawolf2, wow, gorf, robby, profpac.
[RansAckeR]
One-line fix for the z80pio. At the moment when the interrupt control
word is sent (with interrupts enabled), an interrupt occurs. In
reality, interrupts are disabled until the interrupt mask byte is
sent. [Robert]

A large number of Cal Omega games [Roberto Fresca]
Source Changes
--------------
MC6845 updates: [Zsolt Vasvari]
* now signalling both 0->1 and 1->0 transitions of synching pins
* added mc6845_assert_light_pen_input; uses a timer for latching the light pen address
* added reset device function
* implemented VSYNC height computation difference between the Motorola and the Rockwell devices
* since the Commodore 40xx computers program an HSYNC width that extends past the end of the scanline, I am clamping it in lack of anything better to do
* added support for the Commodore 6545-1 device type
* added support for the status register
* better variable names
* more asserts
Updated the "Input (This Game)" menu to support conditional inputs. [stephh]
Converted Amiga based games to partial updating and proper scanline based timers. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Beginning of the clean-up of Space Guerilla - fixed rotation, some other stuff. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed use of tmpbitmap from some drivers. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Replaced mame_bitmap with direct use of bitmap_t. Removed mame_bitmap typedef. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed taitoic regression that caused crashes in several games. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed the way VBLANK_INTs are handled:
- Defined a new MDRV_CPU_VBLANK_INT_HACK() (in deprecat.h) which is a copy of the current MDRV_CPU_VBLANK_INT()
- Found all the places where VBLANK_INT is used with something other than 1 interrupt per frame and changed it to the new macro
- Removed the "# per frame" parameter from MDRV_SCREEN_VBLANK_INT() and added a screen tag in its place; updated all callers appropriately.
- Added some validation of the interrupt setup to validate.c
Fixed SH4 refresh ticks value of 0, makes awbios not blow up the timer system. [R. Belmont]
Updated dkong driver to use two discrete structs which were previously not being used: [couriersud]
* dkong walk using a jump struct
* radarscp using a dkong 555 struct
MACHINE_DRIVER_EXTERN now requires a semicolon. Removed a number of extra semicolons. [couriersud]
In memory.c: removed some code never to be executed: [couriersud]
* removed "return 0" from READ* macros since it is unreachable
* removed comparisons of type FPTR < 0 and FPTR >= 0
Identified code not used and marked with "#ifdef UNUSED_FUNCTION". [couriersud]
Naomi: Use defines instead of magic numbers for IRQ sources, add VBL-out. [R. Belmont]
Changed parent/clone relationship to separate SSI Poker sets from Jackpot Joker Poker. [Roberto Fresca]
Removed a couple of unused items from the cpuexec_data structure. Added validity check that screenless drivers cannot have a VBLANK interrupt. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added macros to define device functions. Updated existing devices to use the macros. [Aaron Giles]
Added the concept of device classes. Devices specify their class in their get_info function. Classes can be used to walk through devices at a more general level than their type. Functions have been added to iterate through devices by class just as you can by type. [Aaron Giles]
Removed some unused fields from device_config. [Aaron Giles]
Moved all video timing logic from cpuexec.c to video.c. Added a video_screen_register_vbl_cb() function for registering VBLANK callbanks. Changed inptport.c and debugcpu.c to make use the VBLANK callbacks. Added video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_start(). I did some fairly extensive testing, but this is a very signficant internal change, so some things may have broke. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed use of cpu_scalebyfcount() from CVS driver. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed a number of global functions to being static. [couriersud]
Rewrote some potentially compiler specific code: [couriersud]
* added ATTR_FORCE_INLINE to osdcomm.h
* added ATTR_NONNULL
* moved U64 S64 fram mamecore.h to osdcomm.h
* define SETJMP_GNUC_PROTECT() in osdcomm.h for use in ppc602, ppc603
Removed cpu_getcurrentframe() and replaced it with video_screen_get_frame_number(int scrnum). Updated all callers. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Moved watchdog processing logic into its own module. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Replaced sprite multiplexing hack in tp84.c with video_screen_update_now() on sprite RAM write. General driver clean-up. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed z80dma to new device interface, updated mario.c and dkong.c to use new interface. Illustrates how to keep existing memory read/write handlers. This is slower than caching the device interface, but does not have an impact on devices accessed at a low frequency like in this case. [couriersud]
Added video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_end() and video_screen_get_time_until_update(). [Aaron Giles]
Fixed CCPU and QB3 to no longer rely on cpu_scalebyfcount(). Fixed busted timing in the CCPU core. Changed watchdog to count internally rather than using external watchdog support. Altered CCPU to accept interrupt signals from the driver. Updated clocks in the cinemat driver to be derived from the clock crystal. [Aaron Giles]
Normalized function pointer typedefs: they are now all suffixed with _func. Did this throughout the core and drivers I was familiar with. [Aaron Giles]
Added PORT_CHANGED macro which calls a callback if the given port changes. Usage is very similar to PORT_CUSTOM. See the Astro Invader driver for an example. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed input_port_set_changed_callback and converted all users to PORT_CHANGED. The only difference between the old callback and the ones supplied by PORT_CHANGED is that values passed by PORT_CHANGED are normalized to start at bit 0, just like PORT_CUSTOM. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added running_machine* to the CUSTOM_INPUT callback - updated drivers to use it. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Updated brkthru.c, btime.c, exerion.c, fcombat.c, astrof.c, cheekyms.c, cinemat.c to use PORT_CHANGED. Combined memory maps where applicable. Converted cheekyms.c to use tilemaps. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Merged memory maps for drivers X->Z. [Andrew Gardner]
Exidy440: modernized input port handling with CUSTOM_INPUT and INPUT_CHANGED. Cleaned-up special case handling. Created better separation between driver and video code. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Verified clocks and oki pin7 for Peek-a-boo. [Mike Ellery]
Untangled the Fire Truck driver. Many uses of PORT_CUSTOM and PORT_CHANGED, including another good use case for the gear shift logic. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Updated ladybug.c, lasso.c, m10.c, madalien.c, maxaflex.c to use PORT_CHANGED for coinage. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added running_machine * parameter to the front of all read/write handlers. Updated all call-through handlers appropriately. Renamed read8_handler to read8_machine_func, replicating this pattern throughout. [Aaron Giles]
Defined new set of memory handler functions which are similar but which pass a const device_config * in place of the running_machine *. These are called read8_device_func, etc. Added macros READ8_DEVICE_HANDLER() for specifying functions of this type. [Aaron Giles]
Added running_machine * to the device_config, live while the device is live, and NULL otherwise, just like the token. [Aaron Giles]
Meadows driver updates: [Zsolt Vasvari]
- Merged memory maps
- Uses PORT_CHANGED for coins
- Renamed 'Inferno (S2650) to 'Inferno (Meadows)'
- Renamed 'Bowling 3D' to '3-D Bowling'
- Added NO_DUMP entries for Gypsy Juggler's ball graphics and added GAME_IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS flag
Fixed sprite colors in Exerion. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added new macros AM_DEVREAD, AM_DEVWRITE, and AM_DEVREADWRITE, which specify device read/write handlers in address maps, along with the type/tag of the device they reference. [Aaron Giles]
Converted MC6845 read/write handlers to READ/WRITE8_DEVICE_HANDLERs. Updated all MC6845-using drivers to use the new macros and call the updated functions. Removed the many little helper functions that used to do this work. [Aaron Giles]
Added validity checks to ensure that the devices referenced actually exist. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed display of screen information so that it shows live information, not just the original configurations. [SailorSat]
Improved DIP switch definitions, added DIP locations, and simplified input ports in atarisy2.c, atetris.c, avalnche.c, bagman.c, balsente.c, lasso.c, seta.c. [RasnAckeR]
Added DIPs and locations to onetwo.c. [Sonikos]
Corrected some glitches and fixed bank reading in Deal'Em. [James Wallace]
Changed/verified clocks on the following pcbs: 1943, Arkanoid, Action Holliwood GalsPanic, Ben Bero Beh, 1000 Miglia, Pit and Run, Prehistoric Isle, Rastan, Hotmind, Hardtimes, Stagger1 and Tiger Road. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Changed/verified Oki pin 7 on the following pcbs: 1000 miglia, Galspanic, Action Holliwood, Hotmind, HardTimes, World Rally, Stagger1. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Added the new display types to the listxml DTD. [Oliver Stoneberg]
Internal address map constructor changes: [couriersud]
* pass running_machine parameter to construct_map_##_name
* change "Machine->" to "machine->" in AM_BASE_MEMBER, AM_SIZE_MEMBER
* pass Machine in construct_address_map
Mysterious Stones gets the "full treatment". [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fix 8085 RST75 not working with PULSE_LINE. According to datasheet, RST7.5 is latched on rising edge, while the other maskable interrupts are sampled. [Nicola Salmoria]
Removed AM_SPACE and matchmask support. Updated relevant drivers to use AM_MIRROR() and AM_MASK() to achieve the same thing. [Aaron Giles]
Source Changes
--------------
Fixed flickering in Electric Yo-Yo. Changed qix driver to use the MC6845's VSYNC notification for interrupts. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed machine from the parameters of some of the device_get_info and device_set_info calls because that information is stored with the device now. [Aaron Giles]
Changed device interfaces to pass the device_config * rather than tokens and individual bits to the device callbacks. Updated all existing devices accordingly. [Aaron Giles]
A number of changes to remove references to screens by index and make the video system based strictly upon the screen devices: [Zsolt Vasvari]
* changed vblank_state_changed_func to now have a device_config argument
* removed runnning_machine as the first parameter of a VBLANK callback
* removed video_data from running_machine
* private state screen information now hangs off the public one, instead of the other way around
* combined video_global and video_private into a single structure
* moved populating screen_state from mame.c to video.c
* removed defstate; the default screen parameters live in screen_config directly
* moved 'refresh' from public to internal video state and renamed it to 'frame_period'
* changed all drivers that previously accessed 'refresh' to use video_screen_get_frame_period()
* changed VIDEO_UPDATE signature to pass the screen device
* added const device_config *primary_screen to running_machine
* changed first argument of video_screen_* functions to take a device_config; all callers that used 0 for the screen number now use machine->primary_screen
* changed game info screen and overlay UI to display the screen tag instead of screen number
* added video_screen_get_visible_area()
* changed render.c to use screen devices
* removed direct driver access to machine->screen[] array
* added video_screen_auto_bitmap_alloc(screen)
* the Dynax/Don Den Lover games now do their updating in VIDEO_UPDATE instead of VIDEO_EOF. Seems to have fixed the palette problems
* hooked up swapped videoram in Karnov properly -- same idea as Burger Time
* removed the public screen_state object -- all access is via functions
* removed screen[] object from running_machine
* removed MAX_SCREENS constant -- there is no longer a hardcoded upper bound
Changed the MC6845 to take and pass device_config's only. The following shook out from this that are applicable to other devices as well: [Zsolt Vasvari]
- running_machine is no longer taken, passed or stored
- mc6845_t is now private
- since passing device_config's is not device type safe, I added a get_safe_token() to mc6845.c to check the device passed in for the valid type.
Removed video_data from running_machine. Private state screen information now hangs off the public one, instead of the other way around. Combined video_global and video_private into a single structure. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed the crash in Galaga caused by the slightly altered video timing. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Converted address maps to tokens. Changed the address_map structure to house global map-wide information and hung a list of entries off of it corresponding to each address range. Introduced new functions address_map_alloc() and address_map_free() to build/destroy these structures. Updated all code as necessary. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed several instances of porttagtohandler*() in the address maps. Drivers should use AM_READ_PORT() macros instead. [Aaron Giles]
ADDRESS_MAP_EXTERN() now is required to specify the number of databits, just like ADDRESS_MAP_START. [Aaron Giles]
Removed ADDRESS_MAP_FLAGS() grossness. There are now three new macros which replace its former usage. ADDRESS_MAP_GLOBAL_MASK(mask) specifies a global address-space-wide mask on all addresses. Useful for cases where one or more address lines simply are not used at all. And ADDRESS_MAP_UNMAP_LOW/HIGH specifies the behavior of unmapped reads (do they come back as 0 or ~0). [Aaron Giles]
Changed internal memory mapping behavior to keep only a single address map and store the byte-adjusted values next in the address map entries rather than maintaining two separate maps. Many other small internal changes/cleanups. [Aaron Giles]
Changed MC6845 to take a screen tag instead of a screen number. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Voodoo now takes a device_config for the screen. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed TMS34010 to take a screen tag instead of screen number. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Replaced the following macros (SMH == static memory handler)
This removes the silly need for a bunch of redundant constants with faux type definitions that didn't buy anything. [Aaron Giles]
Moved some memory system constants into memory.c. [Aaron Giles]
Converted atarigen and tms34061 to be handle based. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed how the PowerPC MMU is enabled at compile time, to cut down on the amount of unused functions in MAME. [Nathan Woods]
Some additional memory system cleanups: [Aaron Giles]
* Made address versus byte offsets explicit throughout.
* Removed some unused parameters.
* Consolidated initialization process.
* Removed maximum memory block count.
* Centralized bank management.
* Added masked handlers and change_pc to the accessors.
* Added memory_get_accessors() to return a pointer to the accessors for a given address space/databus width/endian configuration.
Adds some new 6845 varieties: MC6845-1, H46505, HD6845 and SY6545-1. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Moved crosshair code from video.c into its own module. Simplified crosshair logic and made it screen device based. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Saturate MultiPCM on clip and fix envelope discontinuity. [ElSemi]
Fixed loading mixer settings when the driver default value is calculated. [Nicola Salmoria]
Removed cpu_scalebyfcount(). Changed input ports to register a frame callback, which is called immediately after throttling and updating. This is the proper "sync point" between emulated time and real time. Moved all analog and digital port processing into a central place here. Added tracking of time since the previous frame update and use that as an estimate for the time of the current frame. This is used to scale analog ports without the use of cpu_scalebyfcount(). This is not perfect in the case where frame rates are dynamic (vector games), but works well for other cases. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed VBLANK end time computation and video_screen_get_vblank() -- they weren't taking into account games that use MDRV_SCREEN_VBLANK_TIME. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed 68000 prefetching operation. Previous behavior was incorrect. [Aaron Giles]
Changed slapstic management to always install an opbase handler to more aggressively catch code executing in the slapstic region. Updated all drivers to separate the slapstic region of ROM into a different ROM section from the fixed ROM. [Aaron Giles]
superqix.c changes: [Mike Haaland]
- Changed vblank interrupts to 3 to fix screen drawing issues.
- Used memory_configure_bank() to configure memory.
- Added save states.
Added some clock frequency changes which were documented in u4 but which did not apply due to operator error. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Added layout to crop corners in Electric Yo-Yo. [Mr. Do!]
Added support for Sega Virtua Processor, to run Genesis/MegaDrive version of Virtua Racing, intended to be used by MESS. It consists of a CPU core SSP1601, and updates in megadriv.c: [notaz]
* SSP1601 replaces SSP1610, as it has been confirmed that SVP actually contains SSP1601. The current SSP1610 is only a placeholder (nearly completely unimplemented) anyway.
* Changed megadriv.c add a new driver for Genesis/MegaDrive+SVP combination, also add SVP memory controller logic and memory map.
Phase 2 of the Deal 'Em input changes (these work well with the default cabinet type, I need to do some conditional input work to fix them fully), and also a conversion to the resnet code. Unfortunately, this still doesn't fix the apparently needed transparency. [James Wallace]
Simplified inputs, improved DIP switches, and added DIP locations to punchout.c, bankp.c, and baraduke.c. [RansAckeR]
In asuka.c, created MACHINE_START( asuka ) to configure cpu2 banks with memory_configure_bank(). All drivers support save states, with the exception of cadash and clones, the background does not load properly. [Mike Haaland]
Fixed M68000 build logic to only include it if enabled. [Fabio Priuli]

Source Changes
--------------
Added a new device type for timers. Where applicable, added a parallel set of timer functions that take a device_config instead of an emu_timer. Added MDRV_TIMER_* macros to define the timers in the machine driver. Implemented both periodic and scanline-based timer variants. Modified Space Encounters and Centipede to make use of this feature. Going forward, this is the preferred way of creating periodic timers. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Renamed *_vbl_cb to *_vblank_callback. [Aaron Giles]
Magicfly updates: [Roberto Fresca]
- Completed the component list & PCB layout.
- Added technical references to register $63 (magicfly).
- Switched crystal to new predefined format.
Funworld updates: [Roberto Fresca]
- Added proper inputs to jolyc980.
- Added temporary patch to allow bypass the "code" screen in jolyc980.
- Updated technical notes.
Changed exidy440_sound_command back to "UINT8." Since it's used by both 8-bit and 16-bit systems, the automatic allocation is not worth it if you need an ugly UINT16 ** cast. Removed deprecat.h from some of the exidy files. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed Air Buster bootleg from reseting because of the watchdog. [Zsolt Vasvari]
The on-screen "Reset by watchdog" message only appears in debug builds now. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed the top screen in the megatech games. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added internal artwork for Gorf. [Mr. Do!]
Fixed memory leak in clifront.c. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added a crosshair_set_screen() to allow drivers to control which screen(s) on which crosshairs are displayed. [Nathan Woods]
Made it a fatalerror to registr save state callbacks at the wrong time if the current driver claims to support save states. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed chicken and egg problem with device_start callbacks: [Aaron Giles]
- Added DEVINFO_INT_TOKEN_BYTES, which is queried before device startup. It should return the size of the structure that will be hung off of device->token. It must not return 0.
- Changed the core device interface to allocate and zero a block of memory the size of DEVINFO_INT_TOKEN_BYTES before calling device_start. The pointer to this memory is already attached to device->token at the time device_start is called.
- The primary motivation for this is to allow the device_start function to make internal calls and pass the device_config * around as if the object were fully constructed. Since the token is used to indicate whether or not a device is live, this makes the device "live" at the time device_start is called rather than after it completes.
Moved per-screen initialization into DEVICE_START and per-screen cleanup into DEVICE_STOP in the core video implementation. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed render_target_get_minimum_size() to return nominal values if no screens are found. [Aaron Giles]
Alpha Denshi major update: [Nicola Salmoria]
- Fixed Alpha 8201/830x MCU simulation.
- all hacks from the equites driver removed
- fixed equites restart position after going underground
- fixed hvolume, splndrbt 2 players
- removed hacks from exctsccr2
- fixed CPU gameplay in shougi
- added dump of Alpha 8201 MCU to games that use it (the ROM isn't used yet, HMCS44 CPU core needs to be written first)
- major cleanup of the mess in equites.c:
- many thanks to Corrado Tomaselli for precious hardware info.
- implemented bg perspective scrolling using PROMs
- fixed sprite flip & disable
- fixed bg color
- converted bg to tilemaps
- fixed fg banking
- fixed screen flip
- removed meaningless banking of player inputs
- added UI adjuster for MSM5232 frequency
- MSM5232 volume control
- fixed MSM5232 noise LFSR formula (done by Jarek Burczynski; thanks to Corrado Tomaselli for samples)
- changed MSM5232 emulator to output channels separately
- added output of SOLO channels to MSM5232 emulator.
- fixed champbas inputs
- merged talbot with champbas, some driver clenaup
- fixed shougi inputs
- switched exctsccb to use the correct gfx ROMs (matches screenshot found in 01058 exctsccb: Exciting soccer bootleg should be placed in champbas.c.)
- fixed sprite bpp in exctscrr, removed the horrible hacks that were used to fix colors and transparency.
- fixed sound clipping in exctsccr
- added percussions to the equites.c games using samples; sound board emulation is still not complete. Cymbal hit and hi-hat are missing; bassline is incorrect, and DAC output should be filtered
Fixed crash in spbactn. [Zsolt Vasvari]
In drawgfx, removed unneeded pen lookups. Did some code formatting clean-up. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed ninjakd2 PCM sample rate to match pcb measurement. [Nicola Salmoria]
Fixed chdman -extract to a physical drive on Windows. [Aaron Giles]
Added return value to video_screen_update_partial() indicating whether or not the VIDEO_UPDATE was called as a result. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed typo in pitnrun frequency. [Corrado Tomaselli]
DIP switch improvements: [RansAckeR]
1945kiii.c, 88games.c and 40love.c: Made use of PORT_DIPUNKNOWN_DIPLOC
40love.c: Made use of PORT_INCLUDE
8080bw.c: Added more dip locations; Made use of PORT_INCLUDE
wilytowr.c: Added dip locations for atomboy/wilytowr; Fixed coin modes
battlane.c, battlera.c, battlnts.c, bbusters.c: added dip locations
battlnts.c: made use of PORT_INCLUDE; fixed unknown dip switch
bbusters.c: added note regarding correct gun calibration
bionicc.c: Added dip locations
bladestl.c: Added dip locations, made use of PORT_INCLUDE
blockade.c: made use of PORT_INCLUDE
beezer.c: Added dip locations
bfm_sc2.c: dip switch improvements, made use of PORT_INCLUDE
Conerted the MPU4 driver to use an HD6845, as the Hitachi part was on the PCB, while also using it to generate the VBLANK, rather than hardcoding a value. Added the pulldown resistor to the network, and added all the conditional inputs. Please note that on the later Cabinet Types (Ready Steady Go-1 onwards), the 10p slot is locked out (location of the true register for this is unknown), but the input setting is correct - you have to use Coin 2 or higher to get money in. [James Wallace]

Source Changes
--------------
bbusters: Fixed sprite wrapping -- this is used on the gun calibration screen, at least. The game still hangs on a black screen after service mode is turned off. Even exiting MAME and restarting doesn't fix it, so it's probably a EEPROM issue. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added Noise Output to the MSM5232 emulation. [Nicola Salmoria]
Added placeholder effects for cymbal and hihat to equites.c. These will need further work to properly emulate the discrete circuitry. [Nicola Salmoria]
Cleaned cidelsa driver up to the latest spec. [Curt Coder]
Added NVRAM to Gekisou. Fixed inputs and promoted to working. [Nicola Salmoria]
Explicitly fixed unmapped handler masks so that we don't report all unmapped addresses as 0. [Aaron Giles]
Centralized definitions of _WIN32_WINNT. Removed malloc/calloc/realloc/free link-time overrides; we now rely exclusively on compile-time overrides. Made a few tweaks toward getting mingw-w64 working, but there are still linker issues. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed assertions in skullxbo and exerion. [Aaron Giles]
De-deprecat-ed ui.c. [Aaron Giles]
Changed xmlfile.c to pass in memory handlers to expat so that our memory overrides are properly managed. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed wbbc97 regression. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed crospang.c regression. Not sure why this needed to be RGB15, works fine with INDEXED16. [Zsolt Vasvari]
[GTICLUB] Fixed crash. [R. Belmont]
[SCSI] Fixed case when no device exists (e.g. running the sys573 BIOS directly). [R. Belmont]
Got most of the Konami PPC games running again. [R. Belmont]
Fixed crash running "kviper" BIOS. [R. Belmont]
Changed crystal.c from RGB15 to RGB32. RGB15 is not enough bits to hold the 5-6-5 colorspace. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Updated astrof.c to use the timer device. [Zsolt Vasvari]
dgpix and eolith: Converted to INDEXED16. Removed temp bitmaps.
Changed ugly recursive video RAM code. [Zsolt Vasvari]
ddz: Removed RGB15 -- it's a "skeleton" driver, so why have it? [Zsolt Vasvari]
video\generic.c: Added PALETTE_INIT functions for common 16-bit RGB patterns. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Converted f-32, kinst, lethalj, ultrsprt, gamecstl, taitowlf to use INDEXED16. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added option in MC6845 to programatically set the clock pin. This is needed by at least one MESS driver. Added mc6845_set_hpixels_per_column() for the Hercules gfx adapter. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed video timing in xtheball. Still don't know why it changed recently, but the new parameters reproduce the old values. [Aaron Giles]
Removed unnecessary assert in video.c that broke screenless games. [Dirk Best]
Changed the zombraid gun input ports to work with the calibrated settings. [Derrick Renaud]
Fixed malzak2 from crashing. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed graphics ROMs in gnga. [Cesare Falco]

Cidelsa driver updates: [Curt Coder]
- de-deprecated the timer callbacks
- moved PCB RAM to the heap and fixed index overflow
- converted CDP1869 to the new device system
- refactored to represent how the hardware actually works
- added PMA latching on OUT5
- separated Cidelsa video to its own file
COP CPU updates: [Curt Coder]
- implemented interrupt
- implemented serial input/output
- fixed XAD/LDD, XIS1, RMB3 opcodes
- fixed clock divider
- fixed internal memory map size
- added some cpu variants
- fixed serial timer
- fixed clocks
- fixed COP410 RMB3, XAD instructions
- general cleanup
Fix cfg file corruption if joystick is not connected; itemclass now part of token if item is not found. Settings for joysticks which use a custom item id will still be lost. A fallback has to be provided here since those will use a token generated from the input item name. [couriersud]
Memory system changes: [smf]
* Now passing mem_mask to the read and write debug hooks. This allows the address & size of the memory access to be correctly calculated when using a memory call that takes a mem_mask.
* New macros added for checking mem_mask. ACCESSING_BITS_m_n, These check for any access within the bounds between bit 'm' and bit 'n' (counting bit 0 as the least significant bit). Currently the pattern for checking whether both bytes of a word is written is to make two byte checks.
* All occurrences of ACCESSING_LSB, ACCESSING_MSB, ACCESSING_LSB16, ACCESSING_MSB16, ACCESSING_LSB32, ACCESSING_MSB32, ACCESSING_LSW32, ACCESSING_MSW32 & simple mem_mask checks have been replaced with the new macros.
Added fatal error if AM_READ_PORT() references a non-existent port. [Aaron Giles]
Converted special-case DIP switches (service, unknown, unused) into their own token type rather than expanding into other tokens. The reduces the number of redundant strings and data. [Aaron Giles]
Galaxian rewrite. Ultimately will combine the existing drivers for galaxian, scramble, frogger, scobra, amidar, and dambustr. For the moment, only a subset of games are implemented in the new system; the remainder are running on the old code. Main features are accurate video timing, correct stars implementation, better organization, simplified input ports, and many other smaller fixes. [Aaron Giles, stephh]
Minor cleanup and simplification in the video and palette code. Removed palette_config(). [Aaron Giles]
Fixed interrupt handling and 16-bit memory accessors in 6840ptm.c. Also cleaned up code for the sake of readability. [Philip Bennett]
Added multiplier (same as wecleman) to Flak Attack. Info provided by VU801qCf. [Yasuhiro Ogawa]
Namco NA1 improvement: [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
* Fixed sprites shadow in namcona1 driver and removed Emeraldia hack.
* Added tilemaps and sprites 4bpp mode
* Added preliminary ROZ implementation (disabled until the enable / disable register is found)
* Changed background pen to fix emeralda demo
Discrete sound system improvements: [couriersud]
* Added DISCRETE_RCFILTER_SW to discrete sound. This implements multiple RC networks with CD4066 switches to connect/disconnect capacitor.
* Implemented discrete mixing in circusc using DISCRETE_RCFILTER_SW and sound routing to route 76416 output to discrete logic.
* Added discrete filtering and mixing to galaxian.c games using konami_sound.
* Fixed timing of stream_update in discrete_sound_w. All sound cores update before processing changed data.
* Added streeam_update to discrete_sound_r
* Now supports multiple output nodes per module. In this case, NODE_XXX is the default output. Alternative outputs may be accessed by using NODE_XXX_YY where 00<Y<08.
This should e.g. make discrete sound emulation easier when dealing with e.g. flip flops (Q & QQ) and binary counters.
* Added sanity checks to check consistency issues introduced by this change
* Modules specify number of outputs ==> Certain special modules (WAVELOG) may no longer be used as input nodes
* Removed explicit (NODE_XX + expr) from a couple of drivers
Fixed encoding/decoding of negative denormal floats in the AICA/SCSP DSP. Shouldn't actually affect any games. [kingshriek, Deunan Knute]
Changed Seibu sound CPU to use AM_READ_PORT("COIN") instead of input_port_0_r. [stephh]
bloodbro.c driver improvements to DIP locations and coin modes. Added notes for 'bloodbra'. [RansAckeR, stephh]
Add input ITEM_IDs for additional axes and switches. Also added ITEM_IDs for up to 4 hats/POVs. [couriersud]
Merged memory maps for half of the W drivers. Also made a couple of random touchups for X, Y, and Z drivers. [Andrew Gardner]
Added a little magic to make the Atomiswave BIOS try to be more verbose, but our video emulation isn't good enough to cooperate. [R. Belmont, ElSemi]
Added bootleg of badlands - heavily modified, not working. [David Haywood]
Fixed DS2401 state loading now that the digital i/o board's serial number has been changed to a const by not saving it. As the serial number cannot be changed at run time it was rather pointless. [smf]
BFCobra improvements: [Anonymous]
* Added plane priority to blitter, fixing Treble Top signature writing
* Video output now supports all modes - lores, hires, mixedres, 8/7/4/3 bits/pixel, fixing Every Second Counts colour problems
* Added line draw, fixing missing stuff from Question Of Sport
* Change blitter loop type control - there are 4 types of loop.
* Corrected video frame rate to 50Hz.
* Corrected Z80 speed to 5.91mhz
* Accounted for Z80 cycles stolen during a blit operation. Improves gfx/sound sync and seems to fix the final round lockup in Every Second Counts.
Various SCSI devices register state items by their disk ID, which are not unique across device types. Introduced a device-type offset for CD-ROMs so their registrations don't clash with harddisks. [R. Belmont]
Fixed tilemap viewer to draw the whole tilemap when categories are used. Added new option TILEMAP_DRAW_ALL_CATEGORIES to do this efficiently. Updated several drivers to use this instead of rendering each category independently where appropriate. [Nicola Salmoria]
Added DIP locations to blueprnt.c [RansAckeR]
Fixed ledutil.c so it compiles cleanly under MSVC. [Mike Haaland]
Astrocade update: [Dirk Best]
- Update src/mame/includes/astrocde.h to use an XTAL value
- Clear interrupts if they are no longer valid
- Add the knob inputs
Added new makefile flag VERBOSE which enables gcc's verbose output during compile. [Marc Sandusky]
Corrected clocks on Rygar. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Changed "Machine" to "machine" in a number of places when the running machine parameter is already available. In some cases this also allowed for the removal of deprecat.h. [Oliver Stoenberg]
Did some major cleanup and gutting of pcshare.c. [Wilbert Pol]
Created a built-in overlay for Armor Attack using just rectangles. [Mr. Do!]
Added dynamic control of RX and TX pins to 6850 ACIA emulation - this is needed for correct operation of the MPU4 Video communications system, and may be handy for some MESS systems. To use, set the rx and tx clocks to 0 in the acia interface, then use acia_tx_clock_in() and acia_rx_clock_in() respectively. [James Wallace]
Added proper implentation of hardware collision in mermaid. This fixes mermaid (when the player is in the water with the sharks) and rougien. Also fixed priorities in mermaid and rougien and a sprite wrapping bug. [Robiza]
Fixed CPS1 background color. This fixes 3 wonder (game start) and mtwins (explosion during attract). It seems to break Varth, however, and has dubious effects on the boot sscreens of avsp, sfa3 and possibly other CPS2 games. [Nicola Salmoria]
Added discrete filtering and mixing to ironhors. One driver less using FILTER_RC. [couriersud]
Fixes for aerfboot (bootleg of aerofgt): [Robiza]
- fixes spriteram3 (previous value was too high and in the "city" level some build disappear
- sprite gfx bank (previously some sprite appear right and some sprite was wrong)
- fixed perfectly the sprite zoom
- removed multisprite support; in the bootleg aren't present
Converted the pit8253 implementation into a device. To make it easier to use I've also created a src/emu/devconv.h in the same style as src/emu/memconv.h. [Wilbert Pol]
Replaced anonymous timer in tx1 with an allocated one to make state saving closer to reality. [Hugh Allen]
Changed winwork.c from using hand-built scalable locks to using standard Windows CriticalSections for now, to hopefully address

Source Changes
--------------
Changed the system to show a message if coin-lockout is active and a coin key is pressed. [couriersud]
Actually fixed -refreshspeed. [Aaron Giles]
Reverted previous SCSI CD change which broke some games. [R. Belmont]
Seibu COP cleanup, primarily sorting the code and identifying similarities in different implementations. [David Haywood]
Fixed an erroneous debug change which leaked into the last version of the namcona1 update. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Fixed marineb colors. [David Haywood, Tomasz Slanina]
Rewrote INP recording from scratch, since all old INPs are broken anyways. Header now includes timestamp, which overrides the default time base for MAME's system time. Each frame recorded now gets a timestamp. Analog ports are recorded once per frame and interpolated. Analog port calculations are all done in fixed point for consistent results. A bunch of other minor tweaks in the input port code.
NOTE: There may still be a few changes to the final INP format. [Aaron Giles]
Improved graphic decoding for Legionnaire, the BK3 tiles are now
correctly extracted from the TXT region, map screen has correct tiles now. [David Haywood]
Removed CPS1 tile kludges and replaced with per-game ROM mapping tables. Ideally, the ROM mapping should be derived from mapping of the PALs found on the B board. Note that this is a significant change and some new bugs might be caused by it. Unlike previous bugs, where extra garbage tiles would appear in the games, the new bugs would be tiles or sprites MISSING--so they will be harder to notice. This would happen because in some cases the 16x16 regions of the gfx ROMs can be used by both scroll2 and sprites, while in other cases they must be separated. [Nicola Salmoria]
PSX updates: [smf]
- Fixed the SR masks for MTC0.
- Added ability to test the instruction/data cache ram. The scratchpad and BIU register are now handled internally to the CPU.
- All writes are performed with masks. SWL/SWR used to be implemented with two writes ( one byte and one word ) when writing three bytes, now it only ever performs one. Byte and Word writes use masks as they leave the rest of the register on the bus, which can be picked up by larger registers.
- The read/write functions to use are cached when the SR bits are updated, as are the bad address masks.
- Added coprocessor 1 & 3 support, though they don't do anything useful.
- All loads now go through the delay pipeline, a lwl/lwr will grab the value out of the pipeline if it's updating the same register.
- Added undocumented behaviour of BLEZ/BGTZ. The comparison for zero can be changed by specifying an alternate register in the RT field ( the documentation says you should always use register 0 ).
- Restricted to 16 COP0 registers & generate an exception if any of the 5 for the MMU are used.
- Added BCF/BCT instructions, although I have found no conditions that affect them yet.
- Generates an exception if any MMU instructions are executed.
- Sets the CE instruction for all exceptions, not just those involving a coprocessor. The bits of the opcode that specify the coprocessor are grabbed no matter what the instruction.
- Added TAR register and BT bit in SR. When an exception occurs during a branch, BT determines whether it was taken or not. The TAR register gets set to the destination of the branch.
- Fixed the BD bit when you are in a branch delay slot and you didn't take the branch, this shows up in the pipeline as !pc.
- Fixed branches within a branch delay slot.
- Multiply & divide instructions can be aborted if you write to HI/LO before reading the result. Added data breakpoints, you don't appear to be able to set breakpoints on any of the addresses internal to the CPU.
- Multiply/divide/GTE instructions can execute when an exception is taken, although the EPC indicates that it hasn't. The BIOS avoids rerunning GTE instructions as they are destructive, so you have to make sure they run.
- Added bus error handling, PSXCPU is limited to 8mb of ram & any access outside this range will trigger an exception. I believe this is to be an internal limit.
- Added CXD8611R as a specific CPU type, System 12 appears to allow more than 8mb of ram & it's possible that this is different.
- Mapped out all instructions to either generate an exception or ignore bits.
- Updated the disassembler to match the decoding.
- Fixed disassembling of branch instructions in a branch delay slot.
- Lui checks for a ori/addiu following and will show you the result.
- Added step over/out support.
- Fixed standalone disassembler.
- Fixed SZ0 truncation.
- Fixed IRGB truncation and conversion to IR1/IR2/IR3
- Added IR1/IR2/IR3 saturation when calculating ORGB.
- Fixed OTZ sign extension
- Fixed reading from SXYP
- Fixed reading from IRGB
- Fixed writing to LZCR
- Fixed sign extension of GTE control registers
- Fixed writing to FLAG
- Fixed flag calculation in F macro.
- Fixed avsz3 & avsz4 flag & otz calculation.
Fixed unicode crashing bug with input names. [Aaron Giles]
Renamed input port functions: [Aaron Giles]
readinputport -> input_port_read_indexed
readinputportbytag -> input_port_read
readinputportbytag_safe -> input_port_read_safe
Added machine parameter to input port functions. Updated many drivers to accomplish this.
Bulk converted drivers explicitly calling input_port_n_r() with a bogus offset to calling input_port_read_indexed() instead. [Aaron Giles]
Memory map merges for drivers starting with U, V, W, and Z. [Andrew Gardner]
Mostly fixed sound in N64-based games. [Adam Gashlin]
Correct DMA functionality in N64-based games. [Ville Linde]
Aerfboot improvements: [robiza]
- sprite offset are now correct
- split spriteram in two parts
- identified last sprite for the two parts
- promoted to "working" (no sound)
Pallavol improvements: [robiza]
- fix for sprite's y-coordinate
- implement lookup table for convert sprite code in the real code
- change the name to "1991 Spikes (Italian bootleg)
- fix scroll
- fix offset
Merged sonson memory maps. [Nicola Salmoria]
Added mising TC0060DCA sound mixer to the Taito Z driver. Marked one dblaxle ROM as BAD_DUMP. [Nicola Salmoria]
Changed the 8237dma implementation into a device. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed wrong tile-sprite priority in m62 driver. [robiza]
Fixed nec v30 dasm when a "real-time encrypted cpu" is used. Also fixed Execution Clocks for add,addc,and,or,xor,cmp,sub,subc instructions. [robiza]
Removed the hardcoded dependency on a 8254 device from the 8042kbdc code. Changed the drivers using the 8042kdbc to define their own 8042kdbc - 8254 dependency. [Wilbert Pol]
Rewrote core memory handlers as inline functions. These should be easier to trace through in a debug build, yet should operate the same as before. [Aaron Giles]
Created a complete set of functions for all databus sizes (8,16,32,64) and all endiannesses. A few functions are redundant, but it is now very clear which functions to use in which scenarios. It is also now possible to rely on being able to access values of 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits via the built-in accessors without fear of crashing. [Aaron Giles]
Updated all cores using 8-bit handlers to explicitly call the 8-bit handlers with the appropriate endianness. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed a few games which were calling n-bit handlers directly to use the generic forms. In the future, this is all the access drivers will have. [Aaron Giles]
More opcodes fixed in gussun oyoyo and risky challenge. [robiza]
Added tags and locations to dips for marvins.c and matmania.c. [Fabio Priuli]
Enabled roz tilemap in emeraldia, but it's not centered in the right position when it's not in its original dimension. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Fixed 'lghost*' Dip Switches. [stephh]
Reduced the number of save state callback types from 3 to 1. The only remaining form is the one that takes a pointer parameter. Added macros for STATE_PRESAVE and STATE_POSTLOAD to define common functions. Added machine parameter to these functions. Updated all drivers and CPU/sound cores to use the new macros and consolidate on the single function type. As a result pushed the machine parameter through a few initialization stacks. [Aaron Giles]
Removed unnecessary postload callbacks which only marked all tiles dirty, since this is done automatically by the tilemap engine. [Aaron Giles]
Updates for the driver wc90b.c: [ClawGrip]
- Removed the second YM2203, it isn't present on the bootleg boards
- Changed the clocks according to the oscilators found on the board
Added the running_machine* parameter to the function passed into cpunum_set_irq_callback() and adds the IRQ_CALLBACK macro for the callback function. [Oliver Stoenberg]
Cleaned up the Machine usage in the osd/windows files and added the running_machine parameter where possible. [Oliver Stoenberg]
Various tweaks/fixes from MAMEPlus:
* save state support for FD1094 chips
* improved graphics in athena
* improved sound balance in armedf
* derived refresh rate for toaplan1 games
* improved sound balance in tmnt games
* derived clocks for suprridr
* tweaked xmen visible area
* derived clocks and refresh rate in twin16 driver
CPS1: Verified some gfx ROM mapping tables against PAL dumps. Improved understanding and emulation of palette related registers. [Nicola Salmoria, Corrado Tomaselli]

Source Changes
--------------
PSX core updates: [smf]
- removed casts and removed unnecessary decoding from NCLIP.
- added signed values to PAIR & PAIR64.
- renamed PAIR64.lw to PAIR64.q
- tidied up DPCS, improved flag calculation and added support for
lm/sf fields.
- added sf/lm support to INTPL, improved flag calculation &
calculates correct rgb
- fixed calculation of bit 31 of GTE FLAG register, when writing
to it directly.
- added lm mode to OP and fixed the calculation.
- added lm mode to SQR.
Seibu implementation cleanups: [David Haywood]
- added cop/heatbrl ram clear stuff
- tried to make cop a bit more generic, breaks a few things for
now, but better than duplicated code all over the place
- added the sound cpu to raiden2, although it doesn't make any sounds
Fixed CPS1 palette control register to match tests on msword psb.
[Nicola Salmoria, Corrado Tomaselli]
Changed the pic8259 implementation into a device. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed an opcode in quizf1. Fixed encrypted disassembly for
bp+ix+offset8 and bp+it+offset8. [Robiza]
Modified bionicc to compute the palette based on the schematics.
[Nicola Salmoria]
Verified several CPS1 graphics ROM mappings against PAL dumps.
[Nicola Salmoria]
Changed device read/write functions to take a const device_config *.
Reverted recent hacks to get around this and removed unnecessary
casts. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed I8039 DAA instruction when A is > 0xF9. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed crosshair update when the game is not polling the coordinates.
[smf]
Merged CPS1, CPS2 memory maps and some tweaks from schematics, though
to get perfect memory maps dumps of the A-board PALs would be needed.
[Nicola Salmoria]
Adjusted docastle refresh rate to match PCB measurement.
[Nicola Salmoria]
Finished memory map merge for W drivers. [Andrew Gardner]
Added support for using smaller-sized memory handlers directly in
memory maps. To do so, you need to use the new AM_READn/AM_WRITEn
macros and specify a mask for which bits are connected. [Aaron Giles]
Removed word-sized handlers from 6821pia.c. Updated drivers that
needed them to use these new interfaces instead. [Aaron Giles]
Updated gaelco3d.c and itech8.c to remove the need for memconv.h
by using this new feature. [Aaron Giles]
Added machine parameter and macros for the CDP1802 callback functions.
This seems to have fixed the player sprite flashing in Destroyer/
Altair/Draco. [Curt Coder]
Fixed lookup table for sprites in spikes91. [Robiza]
Made some changes to the 'v25' code in toaplan2.c. Batsugun does
upload what looks to be the entire program, unencrypted. If enabled
it runs to the point of waiting for interrupts, however, for those it
looks like it needs a real V25 core with register banks etc.
[David Haywood]
Converted the IDE controller to a device. Updated all drivers
accordingly. [Aaron Giles]
Added new functions for dynamically installing device memory
read/write handlers. [Aaron Giles]
Updated install_memory_XXX_handler() functions to take a machine
parameter. Updated all drivers accordingly. [Aaron Giles]
Merged installation of read and write handlers where appropriate.
[Aaron Giles]
Simplified memory.c code for dynamic installation so that a single
function handles all the work; a NULL read or write handler
indicates not to install anything for reads or writes. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed sprite overdraw mode to match Mutant Night movie.
[Nicola Salmoria]
Properly marked puzznici as a bootleg and disabled the MCU simulation
on it, it has it's own internally. [David Haywood]
Created new macro: AM_RAM_WRITE(handler) which specifies a memory
range to be RAM-like for reads but calls the given handler for writes.
[Aaron Giles]
Replaced AM_READWRITE(SMH_RAM, handler) with AM_RAM_WRITE(handler).
Also replaced AM_RAM AM_WRITE(handler) with AM_RAM_WRITE(handler).
[Aaron Giles]
Added correct rom dump for Shinobi4 set. [Arzeno Fabrice]
Added good denjinmk graphic rom. [Guru]
Removed ancient 720 kludge in the T-11 core. [Aaron Giles]
Added support in the T-11 core for an external vector via irq_callback.
Apparently the hardware actually did support this and it is necessary
for emulating the BK 0010/11 computer in MESS. [Aaron Giles]

Source Changes
--------------
Improvements to aerfboo2: [robiza]
- fix bg1 and bg2 offset
- fix sprites
- promoted to "working" (NO SOUND)
Added a macro for the CDP1869 interface, and made write handlers optional. [Curt Coder]
Fixed offset sprite/background in kyugo.c. [robiza]
Fixed the 6502 family of disassemblers to show the correct bit to operate for BBR, BBS, RMB and SMB instructions. (65C02/65CE02 CPUs and variants) [Roberto Fresca]
Fixed 2 opcodes for quizf1: now the little machines move correctly. [robiza]
Converted the ppi8255 implementation to a device. [Wilbert Pol]
Changed the inline validity checks to work around GCC bug #35885. [Wilbert Pol]
Expanded the set of memory accessor functions. In addition to direct byte, word, dword, and qword accessors for all bus sizes, there are now masked word, dword, and qword accessors for all bus sizes. [Aaron Giles]
Further CPS1 improvements:
[Nicola Salmoria, Corrado Tomaselli, Charles MacDonald]
* fixed layer enable at the end of stage 4 in Varth.
* increased Varth CPU clock to 12MHz to reduce slowdowns (the game was released after sf2ce so the faster A-board was available).
* verified more gfx rom mappings against PAL dumps (thanks to Corrado)
* verified memory maps using A-board PAL dumps (thanks to Charles)
* separated the address ranges for CPS-A and CPS-B customs. This finally clarifies why some registers are fixed and some change with every game.
* identified three new unknown registers in the CPS-B-21 custom. Their purpose is unknown.
* all unhandled accesses to CPS-A/CPS-B registers will now be reported. There shouldn't be any left. Look out for "contact MAMEDEV" popups.
* cleaned memory maps. Moved forgotten worlds special input mmeory handlers to DRIVER_INIT.
* moved extra input handlers to video/cps1.c since the extra connectors are on the C-board.
* added sound to Final Crash.
* lowered SF2 clock speed to 10MHz. This is on the assumption that, since the 12MHz A-Board is called "89626A-4 DASH", it should have started to be used with SF2 DASH--that is, sf2ce.
Inverted the sense of the memory mask that is passed to read/write handlers. Previously, the mask indicated which bits were NOT requested to be read/written. Now, the mask indicates which bits ARE to be read/written, which is more logical. Updated a number of drivers and the MIPS CPU cores to comply. [Aaron Giles]

Moved Microtouch touch screen controller emulation to separate module (machine\microtch.c). [Mariusz Wojcieszek]
Specifying an invalid bios is now a fatalerror. Also, "default" is no longer a special BIOS type; if you want the default BIOS, leave the bios option blank. [Atari Ace]
DEC T-11 CPU improvements: [Miodrag Milanovic]
- HALT - now calls interrupt vector
- ILLEGAL - had PC=0 at the end which makes code not run fine
- MARK - now it is implemented
Memory map merge for twin16 driver. [Andrew Gardner]
Removed silly idle skip code in prehisle driver. [David Haywood]
AY-3-8910 rewrite: [couriersud]
* adds a model to calculate mixing of channels with different resistance loads.
* based on above, each channel may be assigned a different load in individual case, i.e. channels not tied together
* rewrote ay8910.c to make emulation simpler
* changed the config structure to include a flag field and output resistor loads.
* Updated all drivers affected.
* Added some "Todos" related to stuff I discovered when reading datasheets.
* Fixed a bug in disc_flt.c (konami filters)
Fixed discrete sound and konami filter addressing in galaxian driver. Also changed addressing of AY-3-8910 to be in line with schematics. [couriersud]
Added discrete sound for filtering ("konami"-style) and mixing in gyruss.c. [couriersud]
Changed UI to allow volumes higher than 2.0. [Nicola Salmoria]
Changed code which used assignment in conditionals to break out the assignment. [Atari Ace]
Converted a large number of Machine -> machine and removed #include "deprecat.h" where possible. [Atari Ace]

Add feature to the cia6526: in READ operation the value can be forced by a external circuit; this feature is necessary for MESS. [robiza]
undrfire.c improvements: [Philip Bennett]
* Hooked up cbombers steering wheel input.
* Changed ES5505 clock rate to 30476100/2.
* Unified cbombers memory maps and tidied up some code.
* Removed the undrfire speedup hack.
Marked the sound roms on Q*Bert's Qubes as bad and changed the flag to imperfect sound. The current sound cpu roms are the same as on a normal Q*Bert board, which is incorrect. At least three sound effects are present in the real qq-snd roms but not the Q*Bert qb-snd ones. [Lord Nightmare]
Fixed the ROZ effect in Namco NA1 driver. ROZ tilemap is actually an additional tilemap. Fixes a bug where a "roz enable" test was causing a normal layer to be rendered with ROZ effects in-game. There is no roz enable register - it's always available for mixing with other tilemaps and sprites. This also adds a missing NAMCO logo zoom/spin effect in Emeralda's attract mode. [Phil Stroffolino]
Added memory address parameter to CDP1802 DMA callbacks, and added a macro for the CPU interface. [Curt Coder]
Rewrote the Gaelco video ram encryption, which finally makes sense. The key observation was that when decrypting the second word, both encrypted and decrypted bits of the first word are used. Many thanks to Javier Valero for the detailed information that made this possible. [Nicola Salmoria]
Fixed coin inputs, added validator input, and added notes on inputs to the tmaster driver. [Luigi30]
Merged memory maps for drivers: tagteam, tail2nos, tankbatt, tankbust, taotaido, targeth, and taxidrvr. [Andrew Gardner]
New driver for old Game-A-Tron gambling games hardware. [Roberto Fresca]
- Properly decoded graphics.
- Proper memory map.
- Added NVRAM support.
- Proper Inputs through 8255 PPI I/O chip.
- Both games are working.
- Added technical & game notes.
New universal dynamic recompiler system: [Aaron Giles]
The central module is drcuml.c, which defines a universal machine language syntax that can be generated by a frontend recompiler and then retargeted via a generic backend interface to any of a number of different architectures. A disassembler for the UML is also included to allow examination of the generated UML code.
Currently supported backend architectures include 32-bit x86, 64-bit x86, and a platform-neutral interpreted C backend that can be used as a fallback for platforms without native support. The C backend also performs additional validation to ensure assumptions are met.
Along with the new architecture is a new MIPS III/IV recompiler frontend. This frontend has been rewritten from the old x64-specific recompiler to generate UML opcodes instead. This means that the single recompiler can be used to target multiple backend architectures and should in theory produce identical results across all of them.
The old 32-bit and 64-bit MIPS recompilers are now officially retired. The new system provides similar performance (within 5% generally) to the old system and has similar compatibility. The only currently known issues are some problems with the two Gauntlet 3D games.
Added DS5002FP CPU core. [Manuel Abadia]
Added CDP1852 I/O buffer chip, and used it in Altair/Draco. [Curt Coder]
Found the proper algorithm to decrypt the blue TAB PCB in the funworld driver. Replaced the old decryption tables with the proper decryption scheme. Updated technical notes. [Roberto Fresca]
Added uncompressed AVI recording: [Aaron Giles]
Extended aviio to be able to write RGB bitmaps. Unfortunately, the only option is fully uncompressed, which means the resulting AVIs are *HUGE* and may not play correctly in realtime due to high data rate. The intention is that these uncompressed AVIs are post-processed by other utilities to compress the video and produce a realtime playable result.
Added new command-line option -aviwrite which works just like -mngwrite, except it produces AVIs and streams sound to them. Updated documentation accordingly.
Shift+F12 still produces MNGs for now, though this might change in the future.
Modified fileio.c to retain the full pathname to the file so that it can be queried while the file is open.
Updated TMS5200/5220 documentation and comments. Fixed the chirp table implementation in both the 51xx and 52xx chips. [Lord Nightmare]
Fixed default dipswitches on thoop to give more than 1 life. [David Haywood]
Bug fixes for NamcoNA Hardware: [Phil Stroffolino]
- support for scanline effect (fixes invisible dolphin in Emeralda attract mode)
- ROZ implementation no longer breaks Numan Athletics pixmap layer
- blitter fixes; xday graphics are now correct
- identified extra communications RAM used by xday (probably to control printer)
Fixed crash in dynax games due to missing MSM6242 device. [Dirk Best]
Changed Black tiger main Z80 clock to 6MHz and sound Z80 clock to 3.579545MHz as verified on PCB. [Corrado Tomaselli]

Source Changes
--------------
Fixed long-standing bug with Emeralda text colors. A sprite attribute exists which signals an alternate interpretation of palette ram. Fixed priority for the bitmap layer used in Numan Athletics. [Phil Stroffolino]
Restructured input port internals and cleaned up inptport.c: [Aaron Giles]
* Input ports are now maintained hierarchically. At the top level are input ports, which contain a list of fields. Each field represents one or more bits of the port. Certain fields such as DIP switches and configuration switches contain a list of settings, which can be selected. DIP switch fields can also contain a list of DIP switch locations.
* Normalized behavior of port overrides (via PORT_INCLUDE or by defining multiple overlapping bits). All fields within a port are kept in strict increasing bit order, so altered DIP switches are now kept in the appropriate order. This addresses MAMETesters bug 01671.
* Live port state is now fully separate from configured state. This is manifested in a similar way to devices, where a const list of ports can be managed either offline or live. Each port has a pointer to an opaque set of live state which is NULL when offline or valid when live. Each port also has a running_machine * which is also NULL when offline.
* Because of this new arrangement, the conversion from tokens to a list of ports now requires reasonably complex memory allocation, so these port lists must be explicitly allocated and freed (they are not mantained by automatic resource allocation).
* Custom and changed callbacks now take a pointer to a field config instead of a running machine. This provides more information about what field triggered the change notification. The machine can be found by referenced field->port->machine.
* The inptport.c module has been cleaned up and many ambiguities resolved. Most of this is internal, though it did result in osd_customize_inputport_list() being changed to osd_customize_input_type_list(). The parameter to this function is now a linked list instead of an array, and the structures referenced have been reorganized somewhat.
* Updated config.c to pass machine parameters to its callbacks.
* Updated validity checks, XML output, and UI system to handle the new structures.
* Moved large table of default input settings to a separate include file inpttype.h.
* Removed gross hacks in trackfld and hyperspt NVRAM. These may be broken as a result.
Further Namco NA-1 changes: [Phil Stroffolino]
* Adjusted alternate palette handling weights to more accurately match real hardware - text anti-aliasing is much more noticable.
* Adjustment to roz layer priority - prevents roz layer from incorrectly being displayed over backgrounds in some games (i.e. numanathj)
* Added a mask when processing the roz tilemap to avoid defects in emeraldj
Fixed black pixel patches present in the TC0100SCN fg layer of undrfire and groundfx. [Philip Bennett]
Universal DRC system updates and improvements: [Aaron Giles]
UML:
* Added back-end validation mechanism, and a handful of tests as examples. This will be expanded in the future.
* Added several new opcodes:
- SAVE dumps the entire virtual machine state to a struct
- RESTORE applies the data in a struct to the live state
- LZCNT counts leading zeros in an operand
- XTRACT extracts a bitfield to another register (rlwinm)
- INSERT inserts a bitfield into a register (rlwimi)
* Added new back-end function get_info() which returns information from the back-end about how many actual registers will be mapped.
x86 back-end:
* Implemented all new opcodes.
* Implemented get_info() function.
* Fixed several bugs relating to shifts/rotates and optimizing out cases incorrectly.
x64 back-end:
* Implemented all new opcodes.
* Implemented get_info() function.
* Added defines for new Penryn opcodes to x86emit.h.
* Added support for ROUNDSS and ROUNDSD on Penryn architectures. This hasn't been tested. If you have a Penryn-based system, give it a try.
* Fixed several bugs relating to shifts/rotates and optimizing out cases incorrectly.
C back-end:
* Implemented all new opcodes.
* Implemented get_info() function.
* Cleaned up operand sizing.
* Fixed several errors that made it not work on bigendian systems
MIPS DRC:
* Added some instrumentation for the MMU. To enable it, turn on PRINTF_MMU at the top of the file.
* Fixed front-end so that virtual no-op instructions are still targeted as branch targets.
* Fixed front-end to mark the beginning of each sequence as needing TLB validation, since any sequence can be jumped to from anywhere.
* Redid the MIPS3 TLB implementation. Fixed the exception vector and type handling. Changed the bitfields to directly map from the MIPS TLB format. Added distinction between TLB fill and TLB valid/modified exceptions.
* Added separate modes for user, supervisor, and kernel modes. Each mode does proper verification of addresses now and generates address errors for invalid accesses.
* Fixed several bugs in the TLB implementation; not everything works yet but it's a lot closer.
* Made COP0 access checking mandatory in non-kernel modes.
* Fixed several crashes when recompiling virtual no-ops.
* Fixed TLB bug where entries for virtual address 0 were present by default.
* Fixed bug in the map variable implementation that would sometimes result in incorrectly recovered values.
* Implemented IDT instructions. All invalid instruction asserts are now runtime-only.
* Added support to map a few common registers to machine registers if the machine supports it. Currently only x64 on Windows has enough free registers to do so, though PowerPC will almost certainly be able to take advantage of this. Gives a minor speedup.
* Updated to use INSERT and XTRACT where appropriate.
* Cleaned up register usage to free up one machine register for x64 on Linux.
Added World Rally wheel support. [Mirko Mattioli]
Fixed spikes91 sprite colours without resorting to hacks. [David Haywood]

Changed defaults so that joysticks are enabled standard. [Aaron Giles]
Some improvements to Sandii' games: [Roberto Fresca, f205v]
- Confirmed the CPU clock after some PCB measurements.
- Changed the SND clock to 1MHz to match the PCB measurement.
- Corrected the internal OKI6295 frequency turning the pin 7 state to HIGH.
- Inputs: Eliminated all pulse limitations. Affected buttons have a rattled sound in the real thing too.
- Updated technical notes.
Corrected several bugs in the emulation of the saturn CPU. These corrections are needed to make new HP48 drivers (to be submitted to MESS imminently) work. [Antoine Mine]
Eliminated a large number of global Machine references. Added machine parameters to IRQ callbacks throughout the system to help remove more. Reduced the number of files needing deprecat.h by ~200. [Atari Ace]
Some work on lwings.c: Input clean up, added dip locations, fixed lwingsb life DIP switches, and merged machine drivers. [Sonikos]

peplus driver changes: [Jim Stolis]
* Updated coin-in timing
* Extended memory address range of DUART
* Fixed overlapping input port bits
Fixed PORT_IMPULSE handling. The old code would force inputs to be asserted for at least the number of frames indicated, but keeping the button pressed would keep the input asserted. Now the input is asserted far exactly the number of frames indicated. [Nicola Salmoria]
Fixed memory access in the 80286 cpu core which made i286.h obsolete. Changed CPUINFO_INT_MAX_INSTRUCTION_BYTES to prevent crashes during disassembly. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed behavior of toggle switches so that they don't lose their value when the UI is up. They also can now be used for multibit DIP switch settings in which case they toggle through all the options. Added new functions input_field_select_next_setting() and
input_field_select_previous_setting() which can be used to iterate properly through DIP switches. Fixed the behavior for cases where conditional ports are in play (you could get stuck). Changed uimenu.c to call these instead of implementing its own. [Aaron Giles]
Changed uimenu.c so that hitting ENTER on a DIP switch resets it to its default value. This is analagous to how the OSD sliders behave. [Aaron Giles]
Renamed EEPROM_* to eeprom_*. Updated all drivers accordingly. Typedef'ed a real eeprom_interface structure. [Aaron Giles]
Added a PORT_CUSTOM for the eeprom bit reading. Updated several drivers to use that by specifying it in their input ports instead
of having a custom read handler that inserted the bit forcefully. Also added a PORT_CUSTOM for the ticket dispenser callback as well. Updated the dcheese driver to use it. Many more drivers can be updated to use these new PORT_CUSTOMs in the future, eliminating hacky input port read handlers. [Aaron Giles]
Changed text used to specify a menu separator in uimenu.c, and added a #define for the new string. [Nathan Woods]
Added TOKEN_SKIP_* macros to tokenize.h. [Aaron Giles]
Changed error reporting during input port detokenization to fill a buffer rather than fatalerror-ing immediately. Should now properly skip over any invalid tokens. Enhanced error detection during input port detokenization to catch duplicate bits. There are a lot of these! Updated initialization code to print errors and fatal only if the input ports were unable to be constructed at all. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed duplicate input port bits in pacman.c, gottlieb.c, cps1.c, megadriv.c, segae.c. [David Haywood]
Added support for a NULL set of input ports, used by the empty driver. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed cpu_getiloops() which was not returning the correct value. [Nicola Salmoria]

PowerPC dynamic recompiler: [Aaron Giles]
- rewrote PowerPC implementation as a dynamic recompiler on top of the universal recompiler engine
- wrote a front-end to analyze PowerPC code paths and register usage

Verified clock frequencies on Air Raid/Cross Shooter. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Introduced/updated some include files for files that export functions whose apis will need to be changed to handle machine parameters (cps1.h, decocrpt.h, ms32.h, pgm.h, fd1089.h, konami1.h). In the case of konami.c, renamed the file konami1.c and changed the api and callers to only require one function export. Pulled memory_region*() calls out of for loops and folded the occasional duplicated call. The compiler can't likely infer that the results are constant, so this should be a minor performance win as well. [Atari Ace]
Fixed some dips and added correct inputs for wpksocv2, despite still missing the correct input for begin the left right movement the game is almost playable. [Sonikos]

Source Changes
--------------
MIPS3 recompiler: [Aaron Giles]
* added UML comments for common state variables
* removed some unused fields
* implemented LL/LLD/SC/SCD (only works single-processor for now)
Added sound emulation to Wily Tower, Atomic Boy and Fighting Basketball. [Tomasz Slanina]
Improvements to squahitsa. [David Haywood]
Progress on protection simulation for 2 Crystal System titles. Still not working. [ElSemi]
Some progress on tankfrc4 inputs. [David Haywood]
Created common virtual TLB managment module. Updated MIPS and PowerPC code to make use of it. [Aaron Giles]
Added a validity check against reading input ports at init time. [Curt Coder]
Cleaned up software bilinear filtering code. Added bounds checking. Enabled by default for snapshots and movie rendering. [Aaron Giles]
Added new option: -snapsize, which lets you specify the target resolution for snapshots and movies. The existing behavior is still the default: create snapshots and movies at native pixel resolutions. [Aaron Giles]
Added new option: -snapview, which lets you specify a particular view to use for rendering snapshots and movies. The existing behavior is still the default: use a special internal view and render each screen to its own snapshot in its own file. When using this option to specify a view other than 'internal', only a single snapshot file will be produced regardless of how many screens the game has. [Aaron Giles]
Improved AVI and MNG recording to properly duplicate/skip frames as appropriate to keep the correct framerate. [Aaron Giles]
Added new function video_get_view_for_target() which selects a view based on a command-line parameter and the configuration. Changed Windows OSD code to use this instead of its own logic. Changed
-snapview to share the logic as well, enabling 'auto' as a -snapview option. [Aaron Giles]
Renamed "Nintendo z80gb" cpu core to "Sharp LR35902". [Wilbert Pol]
UML: [Aaron Giles]
- reactivated back-end validation mechanism
- added back-end validation for ADD/SUB/MUL/DIV/CMP forms

- removed sound CPU clock hack
Set tecmosys screen refresh rate to measured 57.4458Hz. [Guru]
Added missing machine parameters and removed deprecat.h usage in a number of drivers/ and machine/ files. [Oliver Stoenberg]
Changed all games after Street Fighter 2 CE to have a 12mhz clock. Verified on Megaman and Quiz and dragons (original kits with plastic case). I am resonably sure all the other games after ST2CE have the DASH cps1 board with 12mhz clock. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Converted many drivers in the d-j alphabetical range to use input_port_read() instead of input_port_read_indexed(). [Fabio Puiuli]
ddragon3 driver cleanups/fixes: [sonikos]
- Fixed the mess dips location in ctribe
- Added dips location in all sets of ddragon3
- Added the missing dips (now are 8x2) on ctribe,ctribe1,ctribeb, ctribb2 and ddrago3b
- Fixed the "Stage Clear Energy" dips in ctribe
- Adjusted the frame rate from 60hz to around 57 as reported on mametester ID 00417
- Adjusted OKI frequency to 1.000mhz (according to recording on mametester ID 00181)
- Adjusted the ddragon3 & ctribe volume (according to recording on mametester ID 00181 and 01441)

Source Changes
--------------
Fixed input port read at init time in grchamp.c. [Curt Coder]

Save state support: [Aaron Giles]
* added save state support to the MIPS3 recompiler
* added save state support to CAGE audio system
* added save state support to the voodoo emulator
* added save state support to the smc91c9x emulator
* added save state support to the kinst, seattle, and vegas drivers
* fixed core video handling of save states with dynamic screen resolutions
* added save state support to the SHARC CPU core
* added save state support to the PowerPC recompiler
* added save state support to the virtual TLB system
* added save state support to the RF5C400 sound core
* added save state support to konppc module
* added save state support to K056800 host controller
* added save state support to the Konami hornet driver
SMC91C9x: [Aaron Giles]
* converted to proper device
* updated seattle and vegas drivers to allocate devices
* added separate 91C96 device for eventual 2049 use
* cleaned up code
Added machine parameter to memory_region() and memory_region_length() functions. Cleaned up usage of these throughout the code to cache pointers rather than calling these functions repeatedly during loops. [Atari Ace]
Fixed poor default CLUT handling in the voodoo driver. [Aaron Giles]
DRC fixes: [Aaron Giles]
* Fixed WRITEM opcode on 64-bit to call through memory instead of directly. Solves assertions with gcc 4.3 and 64-bit linux.
* Fixed DCMP opcode on the 32-bit back-end
* Fixed LZCNT opcode in x86 and x64 back-ends
* Added support for flags in LZCNT and BSWAP opcodes on x86 and x64 back-ends
Changed debugger so it does not stop while we are waiting for a pending event to occur. This eliminates some confusion during reset and state loading. [Aaron Giles]
Explicitly disabled overlays for non-native snapshots (native snapshots already had them disabled). [Aaron Giles]
Added more complete readmes for Konami PowerPC games. [Guru]
Cleaned up system register access in Konami PowerPC games. Connected EEPROM in hornet driver (doesn't seem to affect much). Altered network IRQ timing to fix several problems. Most games are back to their previous "working" states. [Aaron Giles]
Changed DRC frontend to pass a pointer to the previous instruction when describing. Updated PowerPC frontend to approximately take into account branch and CR logic folding in timing computations. [Aaron Giles]
Updated cheat system: [Shimapong]
- Merged 3 different search menu functions to search_main_menu()
- Added new cheat options, "Vertical/Horizontal Key Repeat Speed"
NOTE : delete all cheat options in the database before start or reload default options (Shift + Reload key) in cheat general menu
- Changed assignment of Entry for Activation Key and Pre-enable command code. Now there are check the tag in comment field instead of index number. But it's only for new format command and old is as before
- Added tag output in save_activation_key() and save_pre_enable()
- Cleaned up save_cheat_options() to output description
- Changed memory read function in watchpoints No longer "Debugger" watchpoint mis-hit "Cheat" watchpoint
- Fixed several reported/found bugs
- Renamed funcitons/enum based on coding guidlines All functions are completed in this update
Removed DEBUGGER flag from makefile and ENABLE_DEBUGGER macro from the source code. All MAME builds now include the debugger, and it is enabled/disabled exclusively by the runtime command-line/ini settings. This is a minor speed hit for now, but will be further optimized going forward. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the 'd' suffix in the makefile to apply to DEBUG builds (versus DEBUGGER builds as it did before). [Aaron Giles]
Changed machine->debug_mode to machine->debug_flags. These flags now indicate several things, such as whether debugging is enabled, whether CPU cores should call the debugger on each instruction, and whether there are live watchpoints on each address space. Redesigned a significant portion of debugcpu.c around the concept of maintaining these flags globally and a similar, more complete set of flags internally for each CPU. All previous functionality should work as designed but should be more robust and faster to work with. [Aaron Giles]
Added new debugger hooks for starting/stopping CPU execution. This allows the debugger to decide whether or not a given CPU needs to call the debugger on each instruction during the coming timeslice. Also added new debugger hook for reporting exceptions. Proper exception breakpoints are not yet implemented. [Aaron Giles]
Added 360degree wheel (dial) input to GTMR, which is available when the Controller dip is set to 'Wheel', and Controls dip is set to '1P Side'. Note when Controls dip is set to 'Both Sides', 270degree wheel (paddle) input is used. [Minwah]
Verified clocks and adjusted sound volumes in Fairyland Story. [Corrado Tomaselli]
More conversion to input_port_read: [Fabio Priuli]
* updated the whole mid*unit family of drivers + seattle & zeus which shared some input code.
* updated most namco systems + a couple of old drivers sharing the input handling, minus namcos22
* updated most of the M->Q drivers + finally removed indexed reads from megadriv.c (without breaking ssf2ghw)
* removed indexed read from drivers starting with r (and slightly simplify inputs in royalmah.c)
* unified nichibustu mahjong input ports (using common ports in nbmj9195.c as well as in the other drivers), removed indexed read and exploited tags to reduce complexity in a couple of handlers
Fixed missing sha1 values in ampoker2.c, atarigx2.c, cabal.c, and ksys573.c. [John Gilbert]
Fixed a few build problems with the cpu/sound cores M65CE02, ALPHA8201, TMC0285, TMS5200 and corrected the dependencies for the mips core. [Atari Ace]
Finish the work on ddragon3: [Sonikos]
- Mapped the correct dip "SW1-8" before was incorrect
- Added "FBI Logo" dips in ctribe
- Fixed the dips condition's implementation to avoid the mame crash in ctribe
- Change the name of (Italian bootleg) in a better (bootleg Set 2)
Set OKI 6295 pin 7 to high in gotcha driver. [Sonikos]
Fixed make MSVC_BUILD=1 -j2 and corrected an oversight in the cross-build support. [Atari Ace]
Cleaned up most of the Machine stuff in src/emu/machine. There is a bit left to clean up, but it's mostly stuck at some interfaces now. [Oliver Stoeneberg]

SH2 core: [R. Belmont]
* refactored to separate out things that aren't part of the interpreter.
* converted context struct to go through a pointer
Fixed nile pitch calculation. [h0pdmiYX0]
MIPS3 recompiler: [Aaron Giles]
* don't generate compare interrupts unless the compare register was written to; fixes hangs in blitz, calspeed, and others

ADded state saving for flower.c. [couriersud]
Corrected dip setting for Risky Challenge. [Brian Troha]
Changed how watchpoints work so that supporting them adds 0 overhead unless some are actually live. [Aaron Giles]
Removed calls to memory_set_context() in favor of cpuintrf_push_context(). [Aaron Giles]
Renamed wilytowr.c to m63.c. Added Irem M63 PCB layout (based on Atomic Boy). [Tomasz Slanina, Stefan Lindberg]

Improved behavior of PGM on big-endian. The ARM7 boots properly now but can't sync with the 68k for some reason. [R. Belmont]
Update S14001A core: improved filtering to be more accurate to the chip, changed internal audio renderer to produce 4 bit sound as the real chip does. Moved filter outside of the main rendering loop into the glue code. Note: with this update, you may hear a whining noise that was not previously present. This is accurate to the chip! The real chip would almost always have an analog filter placed on its output to suppress this whine. [Lord Nightmare]
Fixed some save state problems in the DCS driver. Still comes out garbled on a load, however. Extended memory.c to support up to 4096 banks. [Aaron Giles]
Improvements to Cal Omega driver: [Roberto Fresca]
- Unified MACHINE_RESET for systems 903/904/905.
- Created a new handler to manage the first 4 bits of system 905's PIA1 portB as input mux selector (905 is still not working)
- Updated technical notes.

NOTE : delete all cheat options in the database before start
or reload default options (Shift + Reload key)
in cheat general menu
- Added format strings structure to accept huge size strings in loading a database to prevent from breaking other strings

- Fixed several reported/found bugs
Cleaned up input handling in seta.c and bigevglf.c. [stephh]
Adds rom loading for the cadillacs & dinosaurs sets with PICs, and for several similar punisher sets. No good dumps of the PICs exist, and this is mainly for reference so that we don't forget the graphic rom loading on them. They don't work. They're basically the same set from different PCBs, so one will probably be removed eventually. [David Haywood]

Source Changes
--------------
Replaced kodb set with complete dump from known bootleg board
(different gfx rom layout). Added wofhfh bootleg from mame32plus.
Added SF2 Magic Turbo Delta bootleg as non-working. [David Haywood]
Fixed possible 64-bit crash/hang with survival. [nuapete]
Driver's Eyes improvements: [Naibo]
- the communication work between CPU and 3D DSP should be limited
to the master M68000, if the address mapping is done in the shared
memory, master CPU would be disturbed by the slave one.
- DIP Switches
DIP3 ON for Screen on the left
DIP4 ON for Screen on the right
should not toggle on both
- The left, center and right screens have separate programs and
boards, each would work independantly. About projection angles of
left and right screen, the angle is correct on 'DRIVER'S EYES'
title screen, however in the tracks of demo mode it doesn't seem
correct.
- The game also features a pretty nice 2D sprite layer, which still
doesn't show up yet. It is known that the CPU does constantly feed
the 2D video memory some meaningful and logical data.

Source Changes
--------------
makemeta changes: [Aaron Giles]
* Split out Manchester code parsing into a separate utility module.
* Rewrote Manchester code parsing to be clock based.
* Updated makemeta to call the new functions.
* Changed makemeta to parse a different format for metadata.
* Fixed Huffyuv decompression in aviio.
* Added more robust logic to parse out the white flag.
Newest Japanese Naomi BIOS added [batman2509, starke/peap]
pit8253 updates: [Wilbert Pol]
- Changed the implementation to use timers internally.
- Removed the frequency change callbacks.
slapfght driver update: [stephh]
* Renamed sets :
- tigerh2 -> tigerhb1 ("Japan set 2" -> "bootleg set 1")
- tigerhb1 -> tigerhb3 ("bootleg set 1" -> "bootleg set 3")
- gtstarba -> gtstarb1 ("bootleg set 2" -> "bootleg set 1")
- getstarb -> gtstarb2 ("bootleg set 1 -> "bootleg set 2")
* "Performan" :
- cleaned/fixed Dip Switches and added port locations
* "Tiger Heli" :
- added MCU simulation for 'tigerhb1' (in fact, I only had to
return the correct value for the hardware test as there
doesn't seem to be any other communication - I'm still not
convinced that this bootleg had a MCU)
- cleaned/fixed Dip Switches and added port locations
- added notes with the differences between the different sets
* "Get Star" / "Guardian" :
- added MCU simulation for 'getstar' and 'getstarj' heavily based
on 'gtstarb1' bootleg
- cleaned/fixed Dip Switches and added port locations
- added notes with the differences between the different sets
(and especially detailed the numerous ingame bugs in
'gtstarb2')
Added new module uiinput.c which manages input for the user interface.
The OSD is responsible for pushing mouse events and character events
to this interface in order to support mouse movement and text-based
input (currently only used for the select game menu). Added support
for navigating through the menus using the mouse.
[Nathan Woods, Aaron Giles]
Redesigned the UI menus so that they can maintain a richer state. Now
the menus can be generated once and reused, rather than requiring
them to be regenerated on each frame. All menus also share a comment
eventing system and navigation through them is managed centrally.
Rewrote all the menus to use the new system, apart from the cheat
menus, which are now disabled. Reorganized the video menu to make it
easier to understand. [Aaron Giles]
Converted UI startup screens to use astrings. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed edge case in the DRC front-end that would incorrectly tag the
end of a sequence as "return to start" even if the last instruction
did not abet the starting instruction. [Aaron Giles]
Replaced the crazy number of get/set functions for render containers
with a single get/set of a user settings struct. [Aaron Giles]
merged exctsccr.c into champbas.c. [Nicola Salmoria]
UDRC-based SH-2 dynamic recompiler: [R. Belmont]
- All games on all drivers should work as before except "colmns97"
and "stress" which crash due to sound system trouble.
- All idle skips are still included. They are quite a bit less
effective than they were on the interpreter, but they still give a
boost.
- Fast RAM bypass is not included yet so this does not represent
final performance. That said, it's consistently faster than the
interpreter even now. Example: sfiii3 on 0.126 gets 609% on the
interpreter and 961% on the DRC.
Added ST-V BIOS info based on text at 0x800 (byte swapped).
Reorganized the BIOS list & description. Added the USA bios to
smleague and it's a USA only cart. [Brian Troha]
Added save state suport to Konami CPU & Aliens. [Nicola Salmoria]
Moved kodb to fcrash.c (which will probably end up being the home of
the cps1 bootlegs). [David Haywood]
SH-4 update [Samuele Zannoli]
- Fixed TRAPA and some versions of FMOV
- Improved disassembly for MOV.W, MOVA, MOV.L, FIPR, and FSCA.
Fixed memory leak in romcmp. [Nicola Salmoria]
Merged memory maps in the cabal driver. [Nicola Salmoria]
i960: respect the rounding mode for CVTRI [ElSemi]
Corrected g13knd wave ROM 0 offset. [Philip Bennett]
Fixed cocktail sprite position in galaxian.c. Fixes that the frog
disappears for player 2 if moved backwards. [couriersud]
Changed direct access EEPROM interface to return the "bus width" of
the EEPROM data, and the size is in terms of units, not bytes.
Updated all drivers accordingly. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the ROM loading code to actually alter the region flags based
on the CPU endianness and bus width when creating the region, rather
than fixing them up on the fly. This means that callers to
memory_region_flags() will get the correct results. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the expression engine to use two callbacks for read/write
rather than relying on externally defined functions. [Aaron Giles]
Expanded memory access support in the expression engine. Memory
accesses can now be specified as [space][num]<size>@<address>.
'space' can be one of the following:
p = program address space of CPU #num (default)
d = data address space of CPU #num
i = I/O address space of CPU #num
o = opcode address space of CPU #num (R/W access to decrypted opcodes)
r = direct RAM space of CPU #num (always allows writes, even for ROM)
e = EEPROM index #num
c = direct REGION_CPU#num access
u = direct REGION_USER#num access
g = direct REGION_GFX#num access
s = direct REGION_SOUND#num access
The 'num' field is optional for p/d/i/o/r, where is defaults to the
current CPU, and for e, where it defaults to EEPROM #0. 'num' is
required for all region-related prefixes. Some examples:
w@curpc = word at 'curpc' in the active CPU's program address space
dd@0 = dword at 0x0 in the active CPU's data address space
r2b@100 = byte at 0x100 from a RAM region in CPU #2's program space
ew@7f = word from EEPROM address 0x7f
u2q@40 = qword from REGION_USER2, offset 0x40
The 'size' field is always required, and can be b/w/d/q for byte, word,
dword, and qword accesses. [Aaron Giles]
Added World Rally support to tiny.mak/.c. [Macareno]
Minor srmp5 update: [Sonikos]
- Removed hack in drive machine R3000
- Adjusted R3000 frequency to 25 Mhz according to speglsht (the hardware is the same)
- Adjusted visible area (but i'm not sure it's correct)
- Fix one rom loading
Changed partial refresh policy in snk68.c and updated comments. [Nicola Salmoria]
More conversion to input_port_read(): [Fabio Priuli]
* converted to use tagged inputs and handlers all drivers starting
with S & T
* simplified input reads in system24 (removing a redundant handler)
* cleaned up a bit inputs in system 16 & 18 bootlegs (among the
other things, now coinage and P2 inputs in fpointbl & fpointbj
work again)
* removed a lot of redundant #define from taito drivers, replacing
them with PORT_INCLUDEs and definitions from taitoipt.h

Source Changes
--------------
Robustified key behavior when the debugger is visible. Should now properly ignore the "break into debugger" keypress and not allow related characters to filter through. Removed some hacks related to making that work in the past. [Aaron Giles]
Changed osd_wait_for_debugger() to take a machine parameter and a "firsttime" parameter, which is set to 1 the first time the function is called after a break. The Windows debugger uses this to ensure that the debugger has focus when you break into it. [Aaron Giles]
Changed short names for STV BIOS back to single words. [Brian Troha]
Added information on how to toggle the built-in speedup in Ms Pacman or the fast shot in Galaga in 20pacgal. [Brian Troha]
Removed MDRV_SOUND_ADD. Renamed MDRV_SOUND_ADD_TAG to MDRV_SOUND_ADD.
All sound chips must now include a tag. Changed all existing drivers to define a unique tag for each sound chip. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed incorrect i960 behavior when generating interrupts. [ElSemi]
Changed -listxml to now output the tag names for CPUs and sound chips. [Aaron Giles]
Added validity checks to ensure no duplicate sound or CPU tags.
Fixed several duplicates. [Aaron Giles]
Changed MDRV_CPU_ADD to require a tag. Removed MDRV_CPU_ADD_TAG. Tagged all CPUs. [Aaron Giles]
TGP / Model 2 fixes [ElSemi]
- TGP now correctly uses table roms (model1/2 updated accordingly)
- removed FIFO hack on srallyc (game now runs)
- added analog ports reading for model 2A/B/C
- fixed some loading instructions in the TGP. that fixes srallyc automatic transmission bug
Merged CPU0 and 1 memory maps in flower, improved interrupt generation [David Haywood]
Dsp56156 Disassembler rewrite. [Andrew Gardner]
- Rearranged decoding behavior.
- Updated code style to MAME standards.
- Tested each single-word opcode with custom ROMs.
Laserdiscs are now devices. Updated all drivers accordingly. [Aaron Giles]
Merged memory maps in battlnts, bbusters, bigevglf, bigstrkb, and bionicc. [Aaron Giles]
Added new functions attotime_to_ticks() and ticks_to_attotime() to convert between attotimes and a clock tick at an integral frequency. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the 6532 RIOT device into a proper device. Rewrote the logic to be simpler and leverage the new attotime functions. Changed the I/O port setters to specify a mask, and changed the I/O port callbacks to pass in the previous value. Updated tourtabl and gameplan drivers to use the new device interface. [Aaron Giles]
Converted audio/starwars.c, audio/exidy.c, and audio/gottlieb.c to use the new RIOT implementation instead of rolling their own. [Aaron Giles]
Began gottlieb.c cleanup. Converted palette calculations to resistor weights. Corrected video timing. Reduced the number of separate machine drivers. Fixed incorrect spriteram sizes. Populated full memory maps for the main CPU and the rev 1 sound board. More to come. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed 8257 DMA terminal count stop for autoload mode and added callback function existance check. [Miodrag Milanovic]
Completed removal of all explicit calls to input_port_read_indexed(). [Fabio Priuli]
Converted tinklpit keycus implementation from a table to a LFSR. [Olivier Galibert]
Removed unnecessary ROM shuffling code in namconb2. [Olivier Galibert]
Made the initialization of various Konami PPC drivers consistent from run to run, hopefully fixing most multisession issues. Also moved some allocations from static to dynamic storage. [Atari Ace]
Made input_port_read_indexed() private to machine/generic.c. Eventually it will probably disappear altogether. Fixed the two remaining instances. [Aaron Giles]
Converted a number of drivers from A-C to using tagged input ports, and AM_PORT_READ in the address maps. [Fabio Priuli]
Added DIP locations to a large number of drivers: bwidow.c, bzone.c, bestleag, blackt96, bogeyman, bombjack, boogwing, bottom9, brkthru, darwin, buggychl, squaitsa, btime, bnj, lnc, zoar, disco, cabal, canyon, cbuster, cclimber, swimmer and guzzler. [Fabio Priuli]
Made DIP switch renderings consistent regardless of UI aspect. [Aaron Giles]
Moved more items out of .data by either applying const, removing the non-zero initializer (if its overwritten by init/reset) or by adding appropriate initialization code. [Atari Ace]
Removed conditional logging code in favor of allowing the compiler to optimize it out. This prevents bitrot of #ifdef'ed code. [Atari Ace]

Source Changes
--------------
More documentation on the Kiki KaiKai MCU. [Guru, Brian Troha]
A bit more cleanup in the gottlieb driver, still incomplete. [Aaron Giles]
Verified Free Kick PROMs and improved documentation. [Brian Troha]
Added the ability to pass an optional destructor to ui_menu_alloc_state(). [Nathan Woods]
Updated to build with the latest DirectX SDK, which doesn't support Direct 3D 8 & Direct Input 7. By default, the makefile is set up to compile the old way, but you can set DIRECT3D=9 and DIRECTINPUT=8 in windows.mak or on the command-line to build with a more modern SDK. [smf, RansAckeR, uRebelScum]
Irem m63 - adjusted AY frequencies to proper 1.5 MHz [Stefan Lindberg]
DSP56156 CPU Core updates [Andrew Gardner]
- Rewrote core logic, communications, and interfaces.
- Added three parallel memory moves to the disassembler.
- Initial interrupt logic in place.
Plygonet.c updates [Andrew Gardner]
- All communication hacks have been removed.
- Memory maps have been temporarily reverted while new DSP56k cpu core catches up.
Merged memory maps for beezer.c, bishi.c, and bladestl.c. [Andrew Gardner]
AICA updates [Deunan Knute, ajax16384, R. Belmont]
- Fixed ADPCM decoder to remove bad optimization and match YMZ280B. DC offset is fixed and output quality is higher
- Improved handling of slot monitor and timers B and C
- Simplified interpolation code
SH2DRC: Add PC-relative load optimization and ability to disable if necessary [R. Belmont, based on an idea by Mariusz Wojcieszek]
Changed the way memory regions are referenced. Instead of a single integer value, regions are now referred to by a region tag. The region tag must be unique among all regions defined for a given game. This change required updating all the ROM region definitions in the project to specify the tag instead of region number. [Aaron Giles]
Updated the core memory_region_* functions to accept a tag instead of an integer. Added new memory_region_next() function to allow for iteration over all memory regions. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the auto-binding behavior of CPU regions. Previously, the first CPU would auto-bind to REGION_CPU1 (that is, any ROM references would automatically assume that they lived in the corresponding region). Now, each CPU automatically binds to the region with the same tag as the CPU itself. This behavior required ensuring that all previous REGION_CPU* regions were changed to regions with the same tag as the CPU. [Aaron Giles]
Introduced a new auto-binding mechanism for sound cores. This works similarly to the CPU binding. Each sound core that requires a memory region now auto-binds to the region with the same tag as the sound core. In almost all cases, this allowed for the removal of the explicit region item in the sound configuration, which in turn allowed for many sound configurations to removed altogether. [Aaron Giles]
Updated the expression engine's memory reference behavior. A recent update expanded the scope of memory references to allow for referencing data in non-active CPU spaces, in memory regions, and in EEPROMs. However, this previous update required an index, which is no longer appropriate for regions and will become increasingly less appropriate for CPUs over time. Instead, a new syntax is supported, of the form: "[tag.][space]size@addr", where 'tag' is an optional tag for the CPU or memory region you wish to access, followed by a period as a separator; 'space' is the memory address space or memory class you wish to access (p/d/i for program/data/I/O spaces; o for opcode space; r for direct RAM; m for memory regions; e for EEPROMs); and 'size' is the usual b/w/d/q for byte/word/dword/qword. [Aaron Giles]
Cleaned up ROM definition flags and removed some ugly hacks that had existed previously. Expanded to support up to 256 BIOSes. Updated ROM_COPY to support specifying a tag for the source region. Also updated the address map AM_REGION macro to support specifying a tag for the region. [Aaron Giles]
Updated debugger windows to display the CPU and region tags where appropriate. [Aaron Giles]
Updated -listxml to output region class and tag for each ROM entry. [Aaron Giles]
Changes to lucky74.c driver: [Roberto Fresca]
- Pre-defined CPU and SND clocks.
- Switched the color system to RESNET calculations.
- Completed the remaining DIP switches.
- Added lamps support. Created a layout to show them.
- Changes on the interrupt system (need to be verified on the PCB).
- Renamed the graphics regions to more descriptive names.
- Corrected the manufacturer's name.
- Splitted the driver to driver + video.
- Updated technical notes.
Changed unmapped read for mspacman to see if it changes tunnel behavior. [David Haywood, as suggested by dwidel]
SH2DRC: add SUBV, replace ADDV with C version as a precaution. (Fixes most of Mantis #2026, except the part which is a separate bug). Added new implementation which uses flags directly, keeping the C versions in reserve in case they are needed. [R. Belmont, Aaron Giles]
Added more validation to the address map detokenization, in order to catch cases where multiple read/write handlers are assigned to a range.
Fixed cases in the code that failed these checks. [Atari Ace]
i8051 cpu core timer updates: [Wilbert Pol]
- Added support for timer mode 0 (13 bit timer)
- Cleaned up timer code a bit, fixing some off-by-one errors when timers overflow.
Naomi updates [Samuele Zannoli]
1) refactors many global and static variables in video\dc.c into a structure to hold the tile accelerator state
2) textures should be better decoded with more pixel formats
3) adds placeholders for some register probably used by the dimm board
4) corrects a little error in a rom board register (very important, now at least the gdrom games try to start)
Added region and regionbytes fields to the deviceconfig, which are auto-filled by the device manager before starting the device. This simplifies the auto-binding process for devices. Added new selector for device-specific ROM regions. Not yet wired up in the ROM loader. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed menu handling so it doesn't swallow the tab key. [Aaron Giles]
Changed symbol table reference parameters to void * from UINT32. [Aaron Giles]
Enable strict PC relative loads for ST-V games; at least Cotton Boomerang needs them. [R. Belmont]
Added new option 'cheatpath' to specify one or more paths for cheat files. Removed old option 'cheat_file'. [Aaron Giles]
Updated xmlfile.c to specify the line number for each node, for more accurate error reporting. [Aaron Giles]
Removed old cheat.c/.h and replaced them with code that will read and write the new XML-based cheat format using the new cheatpath option (cheats still need to be enabled in order to load at all). Note that the cheats are not implemented yet, but they are fully parsed. To test saving, whenever a cheat file is successfully loaded, it is immediately written back out as 'output.xml' to the cheat directory for validation. [Aaron Giles]
Minor cleanups: [Oliver Stoenberg]
- removed of unprintable chars (newlines) in SH-2 disassembler
- removed a few unnecessary checks after malloc_ort_die() calls
- changed two romload.c warnings to use GAMENOUN instead
- added "deprecat.h" in a few src/mame/drivers files
- cleaned up the mame.mak by adding all missing defines and grouping them based on cpu.mak
- renamed video_exit() to winvideo_exit() for consistency in function names
Changed commented-out functions to #ifdefs. [Atari Ace]

Source Changes
--------------
Added information to the 1943 driver (video) about priorities encoded in PROM. [robiza]
Minor optimization to the DISCRETE_INPUT modules. The node output is now calculated when a discrete_sound_w() is called instead of each step in the simulation. Also removed the Enable line from the DISCRETE_ADJUSTMENT modules. They should never be disabled. [Derrick Renaud]
Removed per-frame metadata support from chdman. Creating an A/V now simply requires an AVI file input. [Aaron Giles]
Changed laserdisc support to parse white flags and other data from the VBI data directly, rather than relying on the textual metadata. Expanded video frame cache to 3. Changed the way frames are assembled to decrease the likelihood of getting an interlaced weave. Fixed sound creation so that it is done at reset time instead of device start, when the sound devices aren't yet live. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed bug in winwork that caused the creation of single work items to return NULL, and thus lead to massive memory leaks when using A/V CHDs. [Aaron Giles]
Added new functions cputag_set_input_line() to assert input lines via CPU tag instead of index. [Aaron Giles]
Disks opened by the romload module are no longer identified by index. Instead, they are identified by the region they were loaded in. This generally means one disk per region. get_disk_handle() now takes a region name in place of an index. Updated all callers to do this. The SCSI modules in particular posed a challenge to make this work, so watch out for potential bugs there. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the IDE interfaces to default to choosing the region with the same tag as the device for its master disk (assuming no slave). Added support for specifying explicit master/slave disk regions as part of the configuration, though slave disks are still not supported yet. [Aaron Giles]
Change the laserdisc interface to no longer require a disk number or a custom sound device. Both are now assumed to be tagged the same as the laserdisc device. Updated all drivers accordingly. [Aaron Giles]
Merged memory maps for drivers: blmbycar, blockade, blockhl, blockout, bombjack, boogwing, and bottom9. [Andrew Gardner]
Added readmes for Galaga, The Outfoxies, Splatter House, Top Racer, Kyros No Yakata, Bombs Away, Meikyuu Hunter G, Crazy Kong, Moero Pro Yakyuu Homerun Kyousou, Lucky & Wild, Match It, Country Club, Enforce, Elevator Action, Chuka Taisen, The New Zealand Story, Buck Rogers Zoom 909, Head On, Victorious Nine, Youma Ninpou Chou, Pairs, Woodpecker, Slap Fight, Alcon, Tiger Heli, Superman, WWF Superstars, Area 51, Animalandia Jr, Avengers In Galactic Storm, Alien 3: The Gun, Aquajack, and Missile Command. [Guru]
Fix region jumper on psikyo4 (loderndf). [David Haywood]
Backported a bunch of FM OPN (YM2608/2612) fixes from Genesis Plus GX. All of this was verified on real hardware. [Eke-Eke, Nemesis, Alone Coder, AamirM]
- implemented PG overflow, aka "detune bug" (Ariel, Comix Zone, Shaq Fu, Spiderman...)
- fixed SSG-EG support
- modified EG rates and frequency
- fixed EG attenuation level on KEY ON (Ecco 2 splash sound)
- fixed LFO phase update for CH3 special mode (Warlock, Alladin)
Scanline exact rendering for dkong & clones [couriersud]

* Proper wrap around from bottom to top
* Added some notes about sprite limits and hardware to dkong driver (thanks to R. Belmont)
Added edge connector pinout info to flower.c. [Brian Troha]
Some initial work on the adp driver. [robiza]
Fixed window in shanghai and shangha2. [robiza]
8257dma and z80dma devices now require device callback handlers instead of machine handlers. Updated affected drivers accordingly. [couriersud]
Improved Dsp56k CPU interrupt handling. Polygonet Commanders now advances past its first dsp handshake. [Andrew Gardner]
Added proper laserdisc support for MACH 3, Us vs. Them, and Cobra Commander (MACH 3 hardware). Old laserdisc hacks are now removed. The code now talks to the standard Pioneer PR-8210 interface. Also removed hacky "target list" from the MACH 3 ROMs; this information is now decoded on the fly from the right channel laserdisc audio. [Aaron Giles]
Other Gottlieb cleanups: [Aaron Giles]
- fixed rev 2 sound again
- fleshed out memory maps and behaviors according to the schematics
- hooked up coin counters.
- moved sound inputs to audio/gottlieb and included them in all relevant drivers
- ordered input ports and ROM definitions consistently
Other laserdisc changes: [Aaron Giles]
- changed PR-8210 interface to work consistently for both Gottlieb and Stern games
- added audio callback mechanism to allow drivers to peek at the raw audio streams
Set the initial 8253 timer output to 2 to indicate that it is undetermined. [Wilbert Pol]
Removed obsolete makemeta tool. Replaced it with new ldverify tool which walks through either an AVI or CHD capture from a laserdisc and ensures that there are no anomalies lurking in the VBI data. [Aaron Giles]
Added new option to chdman, where if you use -createav with a special filename (either 2:2 or 3:2) it will create a fake laserdisc files with the equivalent cadence. This can be used for testing until full captures are available. Most games used 2:2 apart from Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, which were 3:2. Note that even though these files are essentially blank, they are Huffman-compressed, meaning that the maximum compression ratio you will get is 8:1, so they still end up ~5GB. [Aaron Giles]
Moved error strings from chdman.c to chd.c, where they can be fetched from any caller via the new chd_error_string() function. [Aaron Giles]
Updated vbiparse to improve Manchester code decoding. It now assigns a confidence level per bit based on how solid the data is. Also added a new function vbi_parse_all which parses the white flag and all three lines of metadata from a laserdisc frame. It then compares line 17 and 18 against each other and selects the most likely candidate based on per-bit confidence and other factors. [Aaron Giles]
Added frame number display to laserdsc.c. It is off by default, though most players can be configured to turn it on (not sure if any actually do). It can be manually toggled via the backslash key during playback. [Aaron Giles]
Discrete sound core optimizations: [couriersud]
* moved a couple of exp(x) from _step into _reset where appropriate
* use tabulated function values for the transfer function in DSS_INVERTER_OSC
Forced synchronization (stream_update()) before the YM2151 status is actually read. [Jarek Burczynski]
Added Discrete Sound to Fantasy, Nibbler and Pioneer Balloon. [Derrick Renaud]
Fixed I/O watchpoints. [Aaron Giles]
Changes to the cheat.xml format: [Aaron Giles]
- new tag <comment> (within <cheat>) is read and preserved when saved
- removed variable attribute from <parameter>; it is now assumed to be 'param'
- added default attribute for <parameter>
Added new variable 'frame' accessible from cheat scripts. This can be used in the conditional to prevent execution on every frame, or for other effects (like displaying temporary messages). [Aaron Giles]
Added new variable 'argindex' which is the index when processing an <argument> with a count attribute greater than 1. [Aaron Giles]
Reinstated the cheat menu. It now displays all loaded cheats and allows for them to be activated. All known cheat behaviors should be working now. Cheats are toggled on/off with the left/right arrow keys. Oneshot cheats are activated by hitting enter. Pressing enter on other cheats resets them to their default values. [Aaron Giles]
Continued the cleanup of inputs in drivers starting with C (the remaining ones), D and E. Improvements include conditional dips added to dynduke and diplocations for chinagat, chqflag, circus, citycon, cloak, contra and dynduke. [Fabio Priuli]
Added tags to EVERY input port in drivers starting with F->Z. [Fabio Priuli]
Removed PORT_START macro. Renamed old PORT_START_TAG to PORT_START.
All input ports must have tags. [Aaron Giles]
Added support for DEL as well as BS for backspacing in the game select menu. Also limited input to ASCII characters. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed Rim Rockin' Basketball to use the HD6309 core. [Tim Lindner]
Added diplocations to bigrun, scudhamm, cischeat & f1gpstar.
Removed the current hacky handling of f1gpstar coinage dips to use conditional ports instead. In order to do this, the possible conditions were extended to support less than/greater than comparisons. [Fabio Priuli]
Fixed bug that would break conditions on ports using the PORT_DIPUNKNOWN_DIPLOC macro. [Aaron Giles]
Added diplocations to the following drivers: combatsc.c, copsnrob.c, cosmic.c, crgolf.c, crimfght.c, crospang.c (here I also added service dips to heuksun and bestri, which allowed me to verify locations), crshrace.c, dambustr.c, darkseal.c, dassault.c, dblewing.c, ddrible.c, deadang.c. Also added locations to the following games: ddragon & ddragon2 on ddragon.c and docastle, dorunrun & dowild in docastle.c. [Fabio Priuli]
Verified CPU clocks for athena. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Added module profiling to discrete sound core [couriersud]
* added DISCRETE_PROFILING macro to discrete.h
* Upon discrete_stop, the worst performing modules will be listed
Verified and corrected CPS1 refresh rate. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Changed sound cpu clock of Spinal Breakers to 5Mhz as verified on the pcb. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Added word alternates for operators in expressions: [Aaron Giles]
+ plus
- minus
* times or mul
/ div
% mod
! not
~ bnot
&& and
& band
|| or
| bor
^ bxor
lt <
le <=
gt >
ge >=
eq ==
ne !=
Changed cheat escaping to automatically escape && & < and <= to and band lt and le. [Aaron Giles]
Decrypted Da Ban Cheng (dbc set in igs_blit.c) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Removed bad dumps from ad2083. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Fixed bug in aviio.c which could cause an infinite loop if attempting to read sound beyond the end of the file. [Aaron Giles]
Added expression validation callback to verify names for CPUs and memory regions. Extended error codes to report incorrect memory spaces, memory names, or memory sizes. Added verification callback to the debugger to validate CPU and memory region names, as well as verifying that a requested address space exists for a given CPU. [Aaron Giles]
Restored previous behavior that allowed popmessage() messages to overlay menus and other UI. [Aaron Giles]

Source Changes
--------------
Updated the FD1089 decryption algorythm to use the real keys generated by the LCG as found by Andreas Naive. The algorithm is more complex than it should be, but I haven't been able to simplify it more. The keys are still embedded in the source. It would now be reasonable to move them to external files; however, for several games we only have partial keys so the files would need to be BAD_DUMP. [Nicola Salmoria]
Changed ad2083 to load PROM data instead of using hardcoded values. [couriersud]
Updated structure and naming conventions of sound and CPU cores to match core conventions. [Derrick Renaud]
Added discrete sound for Mad Alien. [Derrick Renaud]
Hooked up discrete filtering to SN76477 in Space Chaser. [Derrick Renaud]
Improvements to Lucky74.c driver: [Roberto Fresca, Grull Osgo]

- Mapped the missing 3x SN76489.
- Measured and traced all clocks on the board.
- Measured and fixed the interrupt system.
- Implemented timings/clocks from custom 06B49P.
- Added sound support. All regular game sounds/musics are working.

- Renamed the sets accordingly.
- Updated all notes.
- Cleaned-up the driver.
Merged memory maps for drivers tigeroad, timelimt, toobin, tumbleb.c, tbowl, thedeep, and thief. Also changed gfx memory region tags in obvious cases. [Andrew Gardner]
Added sprite wrapping to Irem m63 driver. [Tomasz Slanina, Stefan Lindberg]
More FM OPN fixes [Eke, R. Belmont]
- Pass chip type around and restore Jarek's original behavior for YM2203/YM2610
- Always recalculate attack rate in set_ar_ksr, fixes Megadrive/Genesis "Batman & Robin"
Added readmes for Cosmo, Don Den Lover, Beatmania (CHD dumping), Dragon Master, Gals Panic, Fantasia II, Grand Tour, New Dyna Blaster Global Quest, Daytona "To The MAXX" upgrade, Namco System FL, Great Sluggers, Gun Nail, Gun & Frontier, Elevator Action Returns, Battle Bakraid, Koro Koro Quest, Gigas (bootleg), Race Drivin', Hexa, IQ Block, Open Golf Championship, Macross Plus, Malzak, Puzzle Club, Naomi, Puzzle Star, Puckman Pockimon, Raiden 2, Raiden Fighters 2 (single board), Light Bringer, Landmaker, Knuckle Bash 2, Mahjong Fight Club, Vivid Dolls, Tower and Shaft, Star Soldier Vanishing Earth, Stone Ball, Sky Lancer, Squash, Winning Spike, Versus Net Soccer, Undercover Cops, War Gods, Space Fever, Strikers 1945, Rohga, Super Eagle Shot, Treasure Hunt (stv), Tickee Tickats, Great 1000 Miles Rally 2 and Super Monaco GP. [Guru, Andrew Gardner]
Implemented MWR (memory width register) in shanghai to avoid hardcoded 384 value for screen width. [robiza]
Added the Plotting PAL to the Japanese set. Also corrected the PAL ROM name. [Brian Troha]
KO Punch boxer graphics had to be doubled. [Nicola Salmoria]
Fixed NMI on Mad Alien sound CPU. This fixes shot sound and various other sound glitches. Marked madalien and madalina as Imperfect Graphics. They are missing an effect. When you shoot an enemy in the dark, the whole screen lights up. Basically the headlights fill the whole screen. [Guru, Derrick Renaud]
Added reverse engineered PLD images to CPS1 games (A-board to all and B-board and C-board to many). [Corrado Tomaselli, Charles MacDonald]
Rejiggered huffman.c to support multiple interleaving streams and a delta-RLE pre-encoding. Added optimized case for the Y/Cb/Y/Cr video encoding case. Cleaned up the code. [Aaron Giles]
Updated avcomp.c to use the new huffman.c functions. Reworked configuration options to allow for both input and output of naturally aligned data streams. Updated chdman and laserdsc to use the new interfaces. New compression gives an additional 3-7% over previous attempt and compresses the dummy CHDs down significantly. [Aaron Giles]
Some improvements to shanghai video drivers: [robiza]
1) convert framebuffer's ram from 8 bit to 16 bit
2) convert dma command from 8 bit to 16 bit
3) convert gfx command from 8 bit to 16 bit
4) implemented all gfx mode: 1,2,4,8,16 bpp
Now we can use this gfx chip for adp driver that use 4bpp.
updated Alpha 8302 MCU simulation to match newly dumped internal ROM. Added the ROM to Champion Baseball 2. [Nicola Salmoria]
Added video level detection and reporting to ldverify. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed incorrect test in winwork that led to spinning instead of using the nicely allocated events we had on hand. [Aaron Giles]
Forced a sound synchronization on each vsync in the laserdisc playback. This prevents overwriting the tail end of the buffer which was fouling up the MACH 3 audio decoding. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed ROM mapping and added preliminary video emulation to galaxia. [Tomasz Slanina]
Fix coolridr crash with DRC, now hangs waiting for impossible conditions again. [R. Belmont]
Added new flag to menu items: MENU_FLAG_DISABLE, which means the item will be visible but not selectable. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed bug that prevented the cheat engine from working when the debugger was disabled. [Aaron Giles]
Modified xmlfile.c to accept integer values in decimal or hex. The default is decimal. Numbers may be prefixed by '#' for decimal values, or by '$' or '0x' to indicate hexadecimal values. Also added function xml_get_attribute_int_format() to return the format of the attribute, so that it can be later replicated. [Aaron Giles]
Updated cheat parser to preserve the format of attribute values used for cheat parameters and items. [Aaron Giles]
Added support for information-only cheat items, which will be displayed in the menu but which are not selectable and have no action associated with them. Empty information-only items are automatically converted to menu separators. [Aaron Giles]
Moved several include files from mame/ to emu/, as they were included by generic components in emu/ and thus should have no dependencies on the MAME code. [Aaron Giles]
Added new target ldplayer, which is based on MAME but serves as a standalone laserdisc player for CHDs. Right now only the Pioneer LD-V1000 is connected, and limited commands are available. Each player type is a driver, so you specify the player type on the command-line. The driver then opens the first CHD it finds in your ROM path and uses that as the laserdisc. The intention is that you specify the -rompath each time on the command-line, so a typical approach might be:
ldplayer ldv1000 -rompath j:\mach3
where it will pick up the mach3.chd lurking in your j:\mach3 folder. Several basic commands are supported:
Space = play/pause
Alt = toggle frame display
Left = scan forward (when playing) or step forward (when paused)
Right = scan backward (when playing) or step backward (when paused)
0-9 = enter numbers for search
Enter = execute search to frame
[Aaron Giles]
Implemented proper shadow handling in SNK drivers. [Nicola Salmoria]
Corrected rom names with PCB locations for Lady Bug and verified the dump against an original Universal Lady Bug PCB. Added information about the Universal PCB number and prom type. [Brian Troha]
Improved input ports for drivers starting with F->M. In particular: they add AM_READ_PORT whenever suitable, they make inputs fully 32bit where needed, they remove indexed input read handlers from INITs, they replace many read handlers with appropriate CUSTOM_INPUTs. [Fabio Priuli]
Additional input port improvements: [Fabio Priuli]
* added dip switches and locations to go2000 (even if they were partially documented in the source)
* fixed artmagic protection (it used a wrong tag, which probably I added somewhere in 0.125uX)
* changed a lot of input related things in irem m10->m107 irem boards. First of all, moved input definitions from drivers/m92.h to include/iremipt.h and removed completely drivers/m92.h (which only contained those definitions). Added more common inputs to iremipt.h and started to use that file in m62->m107 instead of local #defines. Finally, added diplocations to all the games in m62->m107 which were missing and it implemented coinage mode 2 through dipconditions in the drivers which didn't support it.
* converted most of the games checking avgdvg_done() in inputs to use a CUSTOM_INPUT (defined in video/avgdvg.c)
Fixed the i386 CPU core's BSR implementation for the case where the high bit is set. [Atari Ace]
Added DIP locations to clshroad.c. [RansAckeR]
Collapsed timer callbacks in some cases to avoid duplicating code. In the case of crystal.c, also refactored two DMA handlers and shuffleed the init/reset code around a bit. [Atari Ace]
Cleaned up and grouped the sound chip entries based on sound.mak. [Oliver Stoeneberg]
Fixed sfiii3's title animation and the linear zoom effect that
OopsWare didn't improve properly since 0.122u7. [Joshua Chang]

Source Changes
--------------
Converted adp to 4bpp rendering. [robiza]
Began implementing 68681 device in skattv. Improved hd63484 core to support some initial graphics. [robiza]

Identified compatible timekeeper used by Midway Zeus II. Removed all the timekeeper memory handlers, except for 8 bit & changed the drivers to use the conversion built into the memory system. [smf]
Added new generic laserdisc VIDEO_UPDATE handler to the laserdisc code.
This handler works for both disc-only games and those with overlays.
For disc-only games, the base macro is sufficient. For games with overlays, an additional set of configuration macros are provided:
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY - specifies update function, width, height, and bitmap format of the overlay
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_CLIP - specifies the visible area of the overlay bitmap
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_POSITION - specifies default x,y position
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_SCALE - specifies default x,y scale factors
The update function provided to MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY is identical to a normal VIDEO_UPDATE callback, so a standard one can be used. All existing laserdisc drivers have been updated to support this new rendering mechanism, removing much duplicated code. [Aaron Giles]
Added the ability to configure the overlay position and scale parameters at runtime. Added OSD menus to control them. Added logic to save/restore the data in the game's configuration file. [Aaron Giles]
Added new macros MDRV_LASERDISC_SCREEN_ADD_NTSC and _PAL, which defines a standard screen with the correct video timing characteristics and update function for laserdiscs. Updated all drivers to use these macros instead of defining their own screens. [Aaron Giles]
Added DISK_REGIONS to all laserdisc drivers. [Aaron Giles]
Added DISK_IMAGE_READONLY_OPTIONAL to support games (like Cube Quest) where the disk is non-essential to the game's operation. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed bug in identifying the custom sound driver for the laserdisc. [Aaron Giles]
Updated ldverify to identify blank regions of the disc for post-processing. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed rendering 16bpp with alpha using bilinear filters (fixes screenshots of laserdisc games with overlays). [Aaron Giles]
Included support for parsing .gdi files in chdman. [ElSemi]
Added new driver for Cube Quest. This includes CPU cores for the three bitslice processors, as well as laserdisc support for the hacked laserdisc that was used to drive the games. [Philip Bennett, Joe Magiera, Warren Ondras]
Updated cps1 to use proper gfx ROMs (+ PALs) for varthj, and to load correct A-Board PALs for QSound games. [Nicola Salmoria]
Added address decode prom 5e to dkong3/dkong3j. [couriersud]
Reduced YM2612 DAC level relative to FM. This better matches real hardware. [R. Belmont]
Added validity check to ensure that AM_READ_PORT() macros reference valid ports. Fixed several cases where the check failed. [Aaron Giles]
Added new Guru readme for namcos22 driver. [Guru]
Added validity check to ensure that ports referenced by a condition actually exist. Fixed a case where this was violated. [Aaron Giles]
Added DIP locations to dooyong.c. [Guy Hufkens]
Added cheat functions frombcd() and tobcd() to convert numbers to/from BCD format. Changed "Activate" to "Set" in the menus. [Aaron Giles]
A couple of minor cleanups: [Oliver Stoenberg]
- removed obsolete ENABLE_DEBUGGER occurance
- removed more unprintable characters in SH-2 disassembler
- memset() usage cleanups
- removed duplicated TMS5110 entry in sound.mak
- use machine in uigfx.c where it's already available

Source Changes
--------------
Changed DIRECTINPUT & DIRECT3D handling, so they can be overridden by environment variables. [smf]
Readded generic calls to install memory handlers that were in long before 0.126u5 - these are useful on the MESS side for things like the PC driver. [Nathan Woods]
HD63484 improvements: [robiza]

Added helper function devtag_get_device(machine, type, tag) to retrieve the device_config for (type, tag). [couriersud]
Hooked up sound CPU comms in Power Instinct 2. This enables synchronized dancing for the background characters. [ShimaPong]
Fixed bug when writing AVI files with more than one RIFF chunk.
Added missing chdman error messages when extracting to an AVI file. [Aaron Giles]
Derived CPS2/CPS3 video timing based on measurements. These are educated guesses. The logic behind the derivations is shown in the source. [Aaron Giles]
Game-A-Tron gambling hardware updates: [Roberto Fresca]
- Added sound support to "Poker 4-1" and "Pull Tabs".
- Figured out the output ports. Documented each bit accessed.
- Added button lamps support. Created layouts for both games.
- Switched the 8255 port C to be used as output port.

- Updated technical notes.
- Splitted the driver to driver + video.
- Final clean-up.
Fixed problem that would cause the "Return To Prior Menu" menu item to not stick if one is calling ui_menu_reset() with UI_MENU_RESET_REMEMBER_POSITION, and that menu item is selected. [Nathan Woods]
Added PR-8210 support to the ldplayer. Fixed step forward command on the PR-8210. [Aaron Giles]
Changed Journey and Domino Man to 4-way joysticks. [John Rieman]
Added Discrete Sound for Starship 1. Still need to properly emulate the MC3340. [Derrick Renaud]
Changed some decryptions in igs_blit.c to use program roms loaded byteswapped. Decrypted Mahjong Man Guan Cai Shen, Mahjong Long Hu Zheng Ba 2, Mahjong Shuang Long Qiang Zhu 2, and Mahjong Super Da Man Guan 2. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Added save state for discrete node->output to ensure that input nodes save states. [couriersud]
Added a new generic latch device. Generic emulation of 74LS174/175, 74LS259 and other latches. Apart from providing synched latch operation, these latches can be configured to read their input bitwise from other devices as well and individual bits can be connected to discrete nodes. Please see audio/dkong.c for examples. [couriersud]
dkong & friends: Use new latch device [couriersud]
* adds new latch device where appropriate
* increased accuracy since now all main/sound cpu communications are properly latched
* removed quite some code as a consequence
* minor cosmetic edits

- Converted AT28C16 to a device.
- Added preliminary support for devices to load/save nvram.
Added some initial logic to boot and run the PR-8210 ROM (i8049) in ldplayer.c. Currently this is disabled behind a compile-time switch. Once this is working, the plan is to incorporate this into the existing PR-8210 emulation, but we're not there yet. [Aaron Giles]
Changed Trivia Quest clocks based on some really old information. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Added new function tilemap_set_pen_data_offset(). While this isn't 'free' as tilemap_set_palette_offset() is (when the offset changes, the pixmap cache needs to be invalidated), it helps removing some redundant code from drivers. Updated snk.c and snk68.c to take advantage of the new function. [Nicola Salmoria]
Significant cleanup/rewrite of the MCS-48 CPU core:
* renamed from i8039 to mcs48

* removed redundant and unused definitions from header file
* renamed constants and functions to be MCS48* prefixed
* re-verified all opcode behaviors and timing
* changed illegal opcodes to count 1 cycle to avoid infinite loops
* changed EA behavior so that it is a push from the driver instead of a pull on each opcode fetch (this may change further in the future).
* reimplemented IRQ generation and timer behavior according to documentation
* updated all drivers accordingly
* fixed several uses of PULSE_LINE, which no longer works
SH4, Naomi, and Hikaru updates [Samuele Zannoli]

- Skeleton Hikaru driver with memory maps and both SH-4s
- Fixed JVS/Maple translation so Naomi 2 BIOS runs
Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs for 'jcross' and 'sgladiat'. [stephh]
Changed slider controls into a menu. For now, removed the old direct access mechanism; instead, you must access the sliders via the main menu. While in the menu, you can use the ~ key to turn off the menu display and leave only the bar display, in order to see more of the screen. [Aaron Giles]
Namco NB 1/2 work: [Olivier Galibert]
- Shares the memory with the c75.
- Renames the c75 region to c7x from user4.
- Implements the c75 reset/halt control.
- Implements the irqs more correctly.

Began the "big IO_MAP merge of 2008". A number of drivers have had their I/O space address maps merged. [Andrew Gardner]
Changed the default bootleg gwar pcb to be joystick only, and removed code duplication. Fixed jcross cabinet dip switches. [Nicola Salmoria]
M377xx: 8-bit I/O port reads no longer cause bogus reads of neighboring ports. [R. Belmont]
Removed unnecessary ARM7 hooks so MRC and MCR disassemble properly. [R. Belmont]
Updated TMS5100 LPC tables based on mathematical analysis of 1st and 2nd derivatives of the values and comparison to the best quality patent image, which nearly always showed which values were in error. Some off-by-one issues may remain, but it is now nearly perfect. Further perfection will require PROMOUT dumping, which is planned. [Lord Nightmare]
snk update: [Nicola Salmoria]
* added another ikari us clone
* renamed ikaria to ikarinc (for Ikari No Continues)
* ikari is the JAMMA board, with conitnues

* merged marvins.c into snk.c, with all resulting fixes (removed hacks, correct shadows, scroll offsets etc)
Replaced aso ROMs (which were possibly from a bootleg) with split ones that are definitely from an original. Renamed ROMs across sets accordingly. [Nicola Salmoria]

Enabled internal COP410 program map. [Curt Coder]
Fixed Dip Switches and Inputs for 'hal21', 'hal21j' (same as 'hal'), 'fitegolf', 'fitegol2' (same as 'fitegolf') and 'countryc'. [stephh]
Changed refreshspeed target to 0.25Hz below rate provided, in order to guarantee that inexact timings do not lead to sound stuttering. [Aaron Giles]
Added Fist of the North Star and (partial) Demolish Fist sets (Atomiswave) and decryption. [Andreas Naive]
Added PCB info for Hard Yardage & earlier World Class Bowling. Corrected a few rom names. [Brian Troha]
Split core laserdisc functionality into separate file ldcore.c. Each player now gets its own source file, along with new hooks which enable more precise control over the behavior. Updated the PR-8210 and LD-V1000 implementations to the new spec. Other players will come online shortly. [Aaron Giles]
Changed laserdisc scan behavior so that it requires a constant stream of signals to continue scanning. Updated ldplayer accordingly. [Aaron Giles]
Updated debugger to pass running_machine around where appropriate. Added running_machine to several devices which really should eventually be converted into proper devices. [Oliver Stoenberg]

Source Changes
--------------
Implemented m90 playfield 1 and playfield 2 y-offset table. This fixes, at least, the water effect in riskchal and the text fading effect in the matchit2 demo. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli, Tomasz Slanina]
Started changing naomi gdrom sets to load the CHDs. [David Haywood]
snk.c coin inputs seem to be active high (except for jcross) [Nicola Salmoria]
Fixed bg tile banking in Canvas Croquis. Removed snkwave since it doesn't seem to be used and might not be present on the pcb at all. General driver cleanup, bringing it in line with snk.c but not merging it since somthing doesn't quite fit. [Nicola Salmoria]
Merged memory maps in munchmo.c. [Nicola Salmoria]
Changes to magic10 driver: [Roberto Fresca]
- Better structure and organization.
- Added Super Gran Safari.
- Added improved lamps layout to Super Gran Safari and Magic's 10.
Added new device interface selector: DEVINFO_PTR_ROM_REGION. This allows a device to provide a set of ROM regions to be loaded along with the game ROMs. It is expected that most regions defined for devices will use the ROMREGION_LOADBYNAME flag to enable the ROMs to live in a central location. [Aaron Giles]
Added new device interface selector: DEVINFO_PTR_MACHINE_CONFIG. This allows a device to specify a partial machine driver which is appended to the end of the machine driver for any game using that device. The intention for this is to allow devices which have their own BIOS logic to specify CPUs and other characteristics common to all systems using the device. [Aaron Giles]
Added new ROMREGION flag: ROMREGION_LOADBYNAME, which means that if the ROMs in that region are not found in the usual driver files, then the name of the region will be used as a driver filename for loading. [Aaron Giles]
Extended the ldcore interface structure to allow each player type to provide its own ROM region and partial machine driver. [Aaron Giles]
Moved preliminary PR-8210 emulation code from ldplayer.c to ldpr8210.c. It is currently disabled behind the EMULATE_PR8210_ROM compile time flag. [Aaron Giles]
Added built-in "Off" states to the cheats with parameters. This is also the default state, obviating the need for a default value. Removed the "default" attribute as a result. Switching from "Off" to another state first executes the "on" script followed by the "change" script. Switching to "Off" from another state executes the "off" script. While not off, the "run" script is executed each frame. [Aaron Giles]
Moved reset to default behavior in the cheat menu to IPT_UI_CLEAR. [Aaron Giles]
Moved all naomi-gd keys to external. [David Haywood]
Cleaned up shadfrce.c input port mapping. [David Haywood]
Merged I/O maps in a number of drivers. [Andrew Gardner]
Fixed sprites in imago [Pierpaolo Prazzoli, Tomasz Slanina]
Added concept of rom sources to the rom loader. Updated auditing, CLI utilities, validity checks, and ROM loading to use these new functions so that device-specific ROMs are handled properly. [Aaron Giles]
Added a core_fopen_ram_copy() call, similar to core_fopen_ram() except that it copies the memory. [Nathan Woods]
Added redumped welltris program ROMs. [Dazzer]
CPUs, sound chips, devices, and ROM-regions which are specified by devices now have their tags auto-prefixed with the device's tag. This allows for multiple instances to be present. For example, the PR-8210 laserdisc player has a CPU with a tag of "pr8210". When it is included as a device by a driver, the driver may tag the device "laserdisc". The resulting final CPU tag name will be "laserdisc:pr8210". Also updated the debugger expression engine to support names with embedded colons. [Aaron Giles]
Added checks to ensure that tags used for CPUs, sound chips, regions, and devices follow some basic rules: they should be less than 15 characters long, be all lower-case, and only contain letters, numbers, underscores, or dots (no spaces). This is to ensure that they can be used properly in debugger expressions and don't get too long or unwieldy to type (even 15 chars is rather long). Fixed up all tags in the system that failed these checks. [Aaron Giles]
Space Win changes: [Roberto Fresca]
- Some corrections to the memory map.
- Added proper working RAM.
- Added Dallas DS1220Y NVRAM.
- Added output port.
- Added lamps layout.
- Added complete inputs.
- Changed description to "Scacco Matto / Space Win" since the default game is Scacco Matto.
- Fixed memory maps.
- Documented Super Derby outputs.
- Added lamps support + layout to Super Derby.
- Fixed the phisical RAM size to all games.
- Fixed the wrong NVRAM size to spacewin (16Kb instead of 16KB).
- Added proper NVRAM to sderby and pmroulet.
- Added the missing 3rd input to pmroulet (needed for 3-button mode).
- Cleaned up the driver.
You must enter the service mode and change graphics in order to switch the game.
Changed DEVICE_START functions to return an error code. Currently this is either DEVICE_START_OK or DEVICE_START_MISSING_DEPENDENCY. The latter should be returned by a device if there is another device it depends on which hasn't been started yet. Added new flag in the device interface to indicate whether a device has been started. [Aaron Giles]
Changed laserdisc interface to explicitly specify the screen and sound devices it should route to. Drivers no longer have to manually call laserdisc_vsync(). Instead, the laserdisc code connects up to the routed screen device and works based on that screen's VBLANK timing. Removed all existing calls to laserdisc_vsync(). [Aaron Giles]
Changed laserdisc behavior so that it completes the previous video read and initiates the next read at the end of VBLANK instead of the beginning. This gives player logic time during VBLANK to alter the slider position prior to fetching the next frame. [Aaron Giles]
Added new laserdisc callback for vsync begin and changed the update callback to be called at the end of VBLANK. Also added functions to set the slider speed, advance the slider, and directly control the video/audio squelch. In addition, there is a new status function to get the slider position in general terms. [Aaron Giles]
Added parameter to the VBLANK callbacks supported in emu/video.c. Updated all callers to provide a callback value. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed bug that would cause watchpoints to trigger if you had a memory window open to the watchpoint address. [Aaron Giles]
Further updates to the PR-8210 ROM simulation. Still not quite there but the system is much better understood now. Added layout to the PR-8210 which displays the state of the front-panel LEDs. [Aaron Giles]
Clickable input support. Layouts can now have items which when clicked will alter the state of an input port. This is done via the new attributes 'inputtag' and 'inputmask', which specify an input port tag and mask. When the given element is clicked, the state of the element changes to 1 and the given bits in the input port are set the same as if you had pressed the equivalent switch. [Nathan Woods]
Started adding naomi2 sets. [David Haywood]
Added sprites buffering to Limenko driver and removed imperfect video flag from spotty. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Improvements to Croupier (Playmark Roulette): [Roberto Fresca]
- Simulated the MCU communication/protection. The game seems to work properly, but is hard to win. I conserved the game flags till we have the MCU decapped, and emulated properly.
- Added full sound support.
- Added lamps support + layout.
Fixed memory handling of internal banks. They should be LOWER priority than the driver's memory maps. Reverted recent changes to MCS-48 core that were very hacky and which crashed many games. You can now properly override the internal memory map and do your own banking. [Aaron Giles]
8080/8085 CPU core updates: [Miodrag Milanovic]
1. ANA/ANI instruction, HF flag was not set right because error in calculation of it (missing brackets)
2. 8080 have NF flag always set (it is not used flag but bit is always set)
3. Added support for status output lines.
Moved more static data into const and added some more explicit initialization. [Atari Ace]
Added LSI BIOS to the Atari System 1 driver. Made the System 1 BIOS a proper BIOS. Removed restriction that BIOS-related ROMs must immediately follow the BIOS definition. [Kevin Eshbach, Aaron Giles]
cave.c changes: [Kevin Eshbach]
* Changed the hardcoded MHz values in the Cave driver to the XTAL equivalents
* Updated the Cave driver for the game Guwange with gals that need to be dumped
Jail Break changes: [Kevin Eshbach]
* Updated the Jail Break driver with the dip locations
* Corrected the Jail Break driver sound chip from a SN76496 to a SN76489
* Corrected the Jail Break rom names
* Redumped the Jail Break VLM rom dump
Super Basketball changes: [Kevin Eshbach]
* Corrected the Super Basketball Revision H rom dump
* Updated the Super Basketball driver with the dip locations
* Corrected the Super Basketball VLM XTAL
* Corrected the Super Basketball parent/child relationships by making the Revision H the parent
* Turned on save state support for the Super Basketball driver
Updated the Sega System 1 driver with more board information on the Choplifter bootleg and updated the placeholders for the pals that need to be dumped. [Kevin Eshbach]
Updated the WWF Wrestlefest driver rom names. Added save state support to the WWF Wrestlefest driver. [Kevin Eshbach]
C352 cleanup: Removed an unused volume table dating from before the volume was (correctly) implemented as linear. [Olivier Galibert]
Added memory checking and error logic to ledutil.c. [Christophe Jaillet]
Added running_machine * to some more locations in the system. Updated drivers accordingly. [Oliver Stoeneberg]

- Added new clone: Pool 10 (italian, set 4).
- Improved lamps layout for all games.
- Added Pool 10 pinout and DIP switches info.
- Updated technical notes.
Continued I/O map merging. [Andrew Gardner]
Changed Namco NB-x to use real C75 BIOS, read controls the real hardware way. [R. Belmont]
Added lamps support + layout to magjoker and galaxi. Magjoker has a good lamps sequence in the attract. [Roberto Fresca]
Fixed crash when hitting watchpoints on static handlers. [Aaron Giles]
Changed Namco NA-2 to use real C70 BIOS. Removed sound and input simulation code. Changed the NA-1/2 MCU type to M37702. [Phil Bennett]
Fixed refresh rate and interrupts in sg1000a driver, added 8255PPI and coin counter. [Curt Coder]
Changed requirements for laserdisc CHDs to require a new chunk of metadata with pre-decoded frame information. Modified chdman to automatically produce this for CHDs that are of the appropriate parameters. To fix up existing CHDs, use chdman -fixavdata on the CHD. [Aaron Giles]
Modified the laserdisc core to leverage the pre-decoded frame metadata, which is now required. This improves seek times when searching and allows the player-specific emulation access to the VBI data as soon as it would really be available. Changed update callback timing to fire just before the first line of VBI data would be read; at that point, the frame selection is assumed to be committed. [Aaron Giles]
Converted PR-8210 emulation over to using the actual MCU from the laserdisc player. This MCU controls low-level functions such as slider position and laser on/off, and receives decoded vertical blanking data in order to make decisions. Removed old HLE behavior. Note that the overlay text is displayed via the UI; this is temporary and will be fixed shortly. [Aaron Giles]
Converted Simutrek-hacked laserdisc emulation to using the actual MCU from the game, which in turn hands off commands to the PR-8210 MCU. This is still not 100% but is pretty close at this point and achieves the correct behaviors in most cases. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed Cube Quest overlay scaling to cover the whole screen. [Aaron Giles]
Changed laserdisc video parameters to position the screen area at the bottom rather than the top, since this corresponds more closely to standard line numbering. [Aaron Giles]
Extended the vbiparse code to support pack/unpack, and to more fully document all the meanings of the VBI codes. [Aaron Giles]
Updated ldplayer to support slow/fast forward movement, frame/chapter display, and separate controls for scanning/stepping. [Aaron Giles]
Added new built-in variable "frame" to the debugger. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed device-based ROM loading to support loading ROMs from the game's ZIP as well. [Aaron Giles]
CPU-internal regions now have priority again. Fixed mario by installing a handler in the SOUND_START function. [Aaron Giles]
Improved DIP switch handling and added DIP locations in epos.c. [Tafoid]
Added DIP locations to the dec0 driver. [Tafoid]
Separate NBA Jam TE from NBA Jam as they are not technically clones of each other. [Atari Ace]

* Fixed text layer to show (colors are wrong)
* Added very preliminary support for Gorgon h/w
* Added Rapid River readme
* Adjusted Gorgon h/w MIPS clock to 133 MHz based on readme
* Renamed GP500 to 500GP, which is it's correct name
* Fixed sound CPU shared RAM. Comms not yet correct.
rescale_notifier() changed to always allow rescaling for screenless drivers. [Wilbert Pol]
Added 22VP931 emulation, which is mostly working. Communication works fine and basic searching/playback/skipping is functional. Still a bit glitchy. [Aaron Giles]
Firefox improvements: [Aaron Giles]
- memory map is complete from schematics
- gutted laserdisc hacks in favor of actual laserdisc implementation
- fixed all CPU and sound clocks
- removed need for deprecat.h
Added generic timer devices, which simply allocate a timer but don't prime it. This is the preferred method for allocating timers, and may eventually be the only mechanism for doing so in the future. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed copy + paste error in geebeeg romset. [David Haywood]
Move dkong memory_region calls into initialization routines. [couriersud]
Fixed -listroms to know about device-specific ROMs. [Aaron Giles]
Another pass to make static functions static, almost entirely affecting code added in the last few months to MAME. The fixes are the usual lot, changing enum definitions so they aren't declared, decorating dead code/declarations with #if...#endif, and of course, adding static where appropriate. In addition, I fixed a bunch of UNUSED_FUNCTON symbols to be spelled correctly (I didn't introduce this). [Atari Ace]
More system1.c input cleanups. [Sonikos]
Naomi update: [Samuele Zannoli]
* now show the contents of the framebuffer if the 3d accelerator is not used so that now the atomiswave logo and messages are shown (if you wait enough).
* removed a maple bug (no more strange messages in cvs2gd).
* improveed documentation of the communication registers with the dimm board
* if DEBUG_VERTICES is defined as 1 the vertices sent to the tile accelerator are collected and then drawn connected by a segment to give a wireframe-like view of the scene.
Minor optimization to fillbitmap when non-zero fills are done. [Christophe Jaillet]
Moved memory_region() call (which is slow) out of core sprite loop in the neogeo renderer, giving a dramatic speed boost. [Christophe Jaillet]

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