- 03065: [Crash/Freeze] All sets in namcos12.c: [debug] MAME asserts during load time (Aaron Giles)
- 03069: [Crash/Freeze] All sets in midzeus.c: [debug] MAME asserts during load time (Aaron Giles)


Source Changes
--------------
Documented the www.segaresurrection.com decrypted Ninja Kids II sound rom so it doesn't show up as newly "found" bootleg version. [Brian Troha]

Converted downtown, gondo, hbarrel, midres, timesold, topgunbl to use IPT_POSITIONAL. [Derrick Renaud]

Fixed Analog Settings to return to default when IPT_UI_SELECT (enter) pressed. Fixed misplaced brackets, allowing upper/lower case extensions for crosshair graphics and ldplayer chd files. [Derrick Renaud]

Memory map merging for naughtyb.c, ssrj.c. [Angelo Salese]

Converted jangou & nightgal drivers to use resistors with the color proms. [Angelo Salese]

Reverted to older behavior for how modified input port fields are handled. The originally intended behavior is that a new field that intersected a previous field would completely wipe out the original field. Recently a change was made that changed the behavior to only remove a portion of the bits from the original field. This is actually problematic behavior, so the original behavior was restored. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed auto-center bug on analog joysticks. [Derrick Renaud]

Fixed UI when modifying the inc/dec/analog fields of an analog control in sequence. [Derrick Renaud]

Corrected System 1 Z80 clocking: [Aaron Giles]
* each opcode fetch is 2 cycles with /M1 low, so each byte of opcode fetching causes slightly longer delays than the previous tables
* implemented approximate wait state timing for videoram access; further accuracy will rely on getting a dump of the PAL16R4 that controls the horizontal video timing

Merged memory maps in taito_l.c, taito_x.c, taito_b.c, taito_f2.c, taito_f3.c, surpratk.c, system16.c, system18.c. Also removed some word handlers in favor of using READ8/WRITE8 directly in address maps. Removed some additional unnecessary handlers in favor of using AM_READ_PORT. [Aaron Giles]

Changed the PPU2C0x implementation to be a device. [Nathan Woods]

Simplified the gun port handling in the Sammy Outdoor Shooting games. [Derrick Renaud]

Small System 1 update: [Aaron Giles]
* correct video timing
* removed "small" video drivers for games that properly mask the scrolling areas

Correct sound ROM for T-Mek 4.4 [Lars Bull]

Partial fix to bug MT 3070 (harddriv & racedriv do not show anymore
P2 inputs for analog controls). Still thinking about steeltal. [Fabio Priuli]

IMPORTANT NOTE: The CHD format has undergone a change with this release. The main reason for this change is to include some of the key metadata into the hashes for the CHDs. This ensures that the metadata is valid and prevents abuse.

The first impact you will find is that all of your CHD differencing files are invalid. Just delete your "diff" directory contents entirely.

The second impact is that all your existing CHDs will warn you that they have incorrect hashes. This is expected. Your old CHDs should still work fine, so if you can live with the "bad ROM" warnings, you
don't really need to do anything. However, if this bugs you or you want to be "clean", you can update your CHDs, using this command line:

   chdman -update <chdfile> <newchdfile>
   
for each one of your CHDs. This will take a while, but will produce CHDs that match the new checksums posted in the drivers.

Source Changes
--------------
Deprecated device_set_info. Almost all devices had a NULL or empty function here. Remaining devices have been converted to have device-specific functions to do the same thing with proper type checking. CPUs still have a set_info function but it is CPU-specific now and no longer piggybacks on the general device function. [Aaron Giles]

Changed UI to ignore selection from lightguns when off screen. This stops selection of Gun X Gun Y if you move the gun out of range. [Derrick Renaud]

Moved stv_vdp2_dynamic_res_change() function outside of VIDEO_UPDATE in ST-V. [Angelo Salese]

Memory map merging for the NMK16 driver and cleaned-up some unneeded video code. [Angelo Salese]

- fixed tile flipping
- fixed a bug in the hng64 dma

goldstar.c improvements / changes: [David Haywood]

* lastduel.c
* macrossp.c
* madmotor.c (also cleaned-up some video variables in it)
* mcatadv.c (also reduced a 1.0 clipping out volume setting)
* moo.c

Changed the way memory allocation is handled. Rather than allocating in terms of bytes, allocations are now done in terms of objects. This is done via new set of macros that replace the malloc_or_die() macro:

  alloc_or_die(t) - allocate memory for an object of type 't'
  alloc_array_or_die(t,c) - allocate memory for an array of 'c' objects of type 't'
  alloc_clear_or_die(t) - same as alloc_or_die but clears the memory
  alloc_array_clear_or_die(t,c) - alloc_array_or_die with clearing

All original callers of malloc_or_die have been updated to call these new macros. If you just need an array of bytes, you can use alloc_array_or_die(UINT8, numbytes). [Aaron Giles]

Made a similar change to the auto_* allocation macros. In addition, added 'machine' as a required parameter to the auto-allocation macros, as the resource pools will eventually be owned by the machine object. The new macros are:

  auto_alloc(m,t) - allocate memory for an object of type 't'
  auto_alloc_array(m,t,c) - allocate memory for an array of 'c' objects of type 't'
  auto_alloc_clear(m,t) - allocate and clear
  auto_alloc_array_clear(m,t,c) - allocate and clear

All original calls or auto_malloc have been updated to use the new macros. In addition, auto_realloc(), auto_strdup(), auto_astring_alloc(), and auto_bitmap_alloc() have been updated to take a machine parameter. [Aaron Giles]

Changed validity check allocations to not rely on auto_alloc* anymore because they are not done in the context of a machine. [Aaron Giles]

Removed of SMH_BANKn macros. Just use SMH_BANK(n) instead, which is what the previous macros mapped to anyhow. [Aaron Giles]

Added missing casts and made other tweaks to appease some more strict settings on the compiler. [Aaron Giles]

Merged memory maps in the seta.c, sf.c, nbmj8688.c, megasys1.c drivers. [Angelo Salese]

Merged memory maps in the overdriv.c and demoted it tothe GNW flag. [Angelo Salese]

Added engine noise hook-up to Chequered Flag. [Angelo Salese]

Fixed nested NMIs on Chequered Flag sound cpu, this fixes the sound loops and the music tempo. [Phil Bennett]

Made sure that both the RESET and BUSREQ lines are honored by the megadriv sound cpu. [Wilbert Pol]

Properly hooked-up player 2 mahjong panel in mj4simai. [Angelo Salese]

Moved paletteram_IIBBGGRR_w() from senjyo.c to emu/video/generic.c. [Angelo Salese]

Removed deprecat.h dependancy for usgames.c. [Angelo Salese]

Add READY line readback to the SN76496 core, cleaned up the structs a bit, cleaned up comments, added more TODOs, Fixed some unsaved savestate related stuff. [Lord Nightmare]

Added sn76496 ready line hook-up for spcforce.c, doesn't make a difference since it's not actually used. [Angelo Salese]

Added RTC emulation for hng64 driver [Angelo Salese]

Fixed sprite trail for mnight and robokid [kanikani]

Factored out some more MESS specific code for Atari 8bit. [Fabio Priuli]

Splitted Naomi / Atomiswave memory maps and improved sorting of the driver. [Angelo Salese]

Added sound to Pocket Gal Deluxe (bootleg) [Angelo Salese]

lordgun - Fix: P1 Button2 is really P2 Button1. [Cananas]

Changed Lunar Lander thrust control to a pedal. This more accurately emulates the control. Note: the current code uses IPT_PADDLE. This causes the game to start with the thrust at 50%. This is not correct. The control is really a hand operated pedal. [Derrick Renaud]

Merged memory maps for nycaptor, nbmj8991, nbmj8891, mystwarr. [Angelo Salese]

First layer of memory map merging for namcos2.c and namcos21.c, needs a second hand in order to remove all the SMH references (they both are macroized to hell). [Angelo Salese]

Fixed Yellow Cab (Japan) booting, promoted to working status [Angelo Salese]

Attempted to fix colors in Koi Koi Part 2 [Angelo Salese]

Lowered DAC volume in Karate Champ from 0.50 to 0.15, it was having sound clipping problems since day one. [Angelo Salese]

Moved Taito 'skip to next level' buttons from BUTTON_2 to Q/W keys. [Fabio Priuli]

Fix MCS51 disassembler to work properly when there are two memory arguments (the second would overwrite the first). [Aaron Giles]

Added and began hooking up the 8751's for the System 1 games. Still some work to do. [Aaron Giles]

Added proper JVS I/O board init string for Idol Janshi Suchie-Pai 3 to allow it to boot. [Angelo Salese]

Corrected sauro main cpu to 5Mhz and YM3812 to 2.5Mhz as verified on the pcb. [Corrado Tomaselli]

Improved protection emulation in galpani2 driver: [Luis Faria]
- modified somewhat the protection handling, geeting rid of the need to call galpani2_mcu_run from VIDEO_UPDATE, as that function is performed by CPU2's INT7 and it now works. And added support for command 2, making gp2se go into demo mode and allowing to go ingame, nice skulls! ;-) Unfortunately, this set is still not playable because of missing gals in the background and sometimes there's an ADDRESS ERROR, causing a reset. Included in these changes, I added support for MCU triggering by CPU2.
- changed some 8 bit writes disguised as 16 bit to AM_WRITE8 and AM_DEVWRITE8 and some AM_WRITE(SMH_NOP)s to AM_WRITENOP.
- "crystallized" the clocks of the M68000s and OKIs, deriving the latter from the former.
- fixed a Copy&Paste mistake I made in the previous submission, in the sound rom mappings for galpani2/2t/2g.
- reduced the input port definition duplication by using PORT_INCLUDE where applicable instead of defining everything again.
- reduced the CPU#2 Code region size to the effectively used size, and expanded the CPU#2 Backgrounds Data region size to the maximum usable size, making it the same for all sets.

Fixed bug when setting breakpoints on Z80 CPUs at addresses A-F. [Xander Xander]

Source Changes
--------------
Added notes to several drivers indicating specifically that an MCU is needed for decapping. [Angelo Salese]

Added bilinear filtering to Naomi video emulation. Textures are still a bit crawly since we're always using the lowest MIP level. [MooglyGuy, Aaron Giles]

Short-circuit the naomi rendering in non-textured cases, prevents a lot of bad graphics. [David Haywood]

Source Changes
--------------
Fixed Oki banking in Grand Cross. [Angelo Salese]

Added basic ADPCM support to Grand Cross [Angelo Salese]

Fixed title screen display in Joshi Volleyball [Angelo Salese]

Fixed sound mute for system 2 games. [Aaron Giles]

The logic for detecting merged roms did not check all the rom sources in the parent, leading to cases where roms from devices aren't detected as merged (e.g. ldv1000 in superdqs). This fixes it. [Atari Ace]

Disabled unused variables in the project that were only assigned to but never used. [Oliver Stoeneberg]

Removed the pulse input on the touchscreen for the touchmaster drivers, making centipede returns (tm4k), breakout3k (tm3k), wordsearch (tm8k) and possibly other games playable do to the need for "dragging" the screen. An example of this is the word search game where it is necessary to drag from the start letter to the end to highlight the selection, which is not possible with a pulse input. [Mike Green]

Corrected the clock speed for Pirate Ship Higemaru. [Stefan Lindberg]

Hand-tuned bgm OKI sound chip frequency in mirage.c. [Angelo Salese]

Added readmes to Jail Break, Ninja Warriors, Operation Wolf and Rainbow Islands. [Guru]

CPUs actually take some time to reset. Changed the 68000/68010 to eat an appropriate number of cycles after a reset. [Aaron Giles]

Sega System 16A changes: [Aaron Giles, Dr. Decapitator]
* Added MCU dumps to quart21 and bodyslam
* Hooked up MCU in these games
* Marked games using simulated MCU as "unemulated protection" as the MCUs clearly do more than what we are simulating

Eliminated SMH_* usage in all memory maps in drivers beginning with A and B. [MooglyGuy]

Added some security custom info to the Sega drivers (from http://www.higenekodo.jp/sega_n.htm). [Yasuhiro Ogawa]

Converted the Namco 50xx, 51xx, 52xx, 53xx, 54xx, and 06xx into proper devices. [Aaron Giles]

Added DERIVED_CLOCK() macro which can be used by sub-devices to derive their clock from the parent device. [Aaron Giles]

Tweaked some of the laserdisc interfaces to use ROM_NAME() and MACHINE_DRIVER_NAME() macros. [Aaron Giles]

Changed the Namco 52xx and 53xx devices to run the actual MCU instead of simulating the behavior. Hooked them up properly in bosco, digdug, and polepos. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed Bronx regression. [Angelo Salese]

Guessed ADPCM PAL shuffling in Idol Janshi Suchie-Pai Special, it sounds better but I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate (I need a side-by-side test). [Angelo Salese]

Added mirrors to Pole Position memory maps. [Aaron Giles]

DIP switch changes: [kanikani]
- added DIPLOCATION to scontra and thunderx
- added some DEF_STRs (Difficult, Very Difficult, etc.) and modified drivers using them

Preliminary work on beatmania iidx, still lots to do. [smf]

Several MB88xx changes/fixes: [Aaron Giles]
- internal timer support now works; prescaler is guessed based on Pole Position sample playback frequency
- external counter support works
- a basic mechanism for reading serial input has been added; it is not sufficient for a full implementation, but good enough to sample the SI pin at startup
- fixed TSTS/TSTV to clear their respective flags
- fixed CI and CYI to compute imm-reg instead of reg-imm
- added masking of the PA register upon RTI/RTS to prevent bogus PC values

Fixes compilation with ARM7_DEBUG_CORE enabled. [Reijo Tomperi, Oliver Stoeneberg]

Added support for parsing horizont.ini or vertical.ini based on the game's orientation. [Krick]

Made a pass at shuffling/improving the system 16 and 18 bootlegs. Some games are probably more broken now, but they are better structured for future improvements. [David Haywood]

Fixed a few potential memory leaks detected by cppcheck and also added an errormessage to verinfo. [Oliver Stoeneberg]

Added Guru-readme(TM) for TWINKLE hardware. [Guru]

Fixed minor cycle counting inaccuracy in Z80 core. [Marshmellow]

Added the concept of device contracts. A contract is a well-defined set of interfaces supported by a device, and identified by a unique string identifier. A device may support any number of contracts, described in a list via the DEVICE_CONTRACT_LIST* macros. The purpose of contracts is to provide a means for devices to expose a standard set of interfaces to other parts of the system. For example, the PCI device should expose a contract that includes functions for configuration register access, and 32-bit I/O. Then any device with a PCI interface should implement the PCI contract, so that the PCI bus device can route things appropriately. [Aaron Giles]

Removed the MDRV_<devtype>_REMOVE macros. A simple DEVICE_REMOVE works now that device types are not needed. [Aaron Giles]

Verified clocks on Samurai Aces pcb. [Corrado Tomaselli]

Added missing static and const qualifiers throughout the source. [Atari Ace]

Changed several internal interfaces to be more consistent, namely (1) passing device_config as a const always, (2) passing running_machine as a non-const always, (3) eliminating running_machine where possible, (4) passing machine/device first, and (5) preferring (screen, bitmap, cliprect) over (machine, bitmap, cliprect) when all are needed for rendering.

Tokimeki Mahjong Paradise driver improvements:
- split tmmjprd / tmpdoki from rabbit.c as it uses the graphic chip in a very different way, and having them together was making it more difficult to make progress on [David Haywood]
- changed them to use custom rendering code instead of tilemaps, as they can address tile data at a sub-tile level, this fixes the girls in the intro [David Haywood]
- added inputs [Angelo Salese]

Document the Pacman on Tecmo World Cup '90 hardware. Lists the roms plus CRC32 / SHA1 in the comment section to prevent it from turning up as a newly "found" game and to show users MAME is aware of it existence. [Brian Troha]

Add gun I/O board to Teraburst and hook up 68k/PPC comms. Not sure how the guns are read yet but this fixes the CALL ATTENDENT immediate death and the game runs fine now. [R. Belmont]

Changes to support address maps for arbitrary devices: [Aaron Giles]

- Moved address_map array from cpu_config to device_config. Added MDRV macros in the device for specifying address maps. Changed the memory system to fetch the maps from the new location.

- Moved the address-space related get_info constants to devintrf (including endianness). Removed space array from the CPU class header. Made the memory system much more device-neutral. Various other cleanups along the way.

- Expanded address maps from 3 to 4. Moved ADDRESS_SPACE_PROGRAM/DATA/IO constants to cpuintrf, as those names are really only applicable to CPUs. Added new ADDRESS_MAP_0/1/2/3 constants to identify address maps more generically.

- Updated memory system to be more general about address map handling. Added the concept of default address maps (in addition to the already existing internal memory maps). The difference between internal and default memory maps is that internal memory maps always override everything (including user-specified maps), but default memory maps simply provide a default that can be overridden.

- Converted the okim6295 sound driver to use address maps for access. By default, it defines a ROM address map that overlays its full region. As a result, the validity checks require all okim6295 regions to be at least 256k, unless you provide your own address map. Updated all regions to meet this requirement.

- Updated the atarijsa code to use a custom address space for its okim6295 accesses (which are banked on the first half and static on the second half), as an example of configuring a device with a custom address space.

- For now, attempts to use okim6295_set_bank_base() will still work, though banking for the okim chips should be moved to custom address maps in the drivers eventually. The first time okim6295_set_bank_base() is called, it will install a banked memory handler over the region and use memory_set_bankptr() to change the base on subsequent bank switches.

- Moved address map validity checks to be run for each device instead of just each CPU.

Removed PREDECODE_GFX compile flag, as the on-the-fly decoding seems to be working reliably. Deprecated the ROMREGION_DISPOSE flag, as 98% of the use of it no longer is applicable with on-the-fly decoding, and the remaining cases are difficult to identify among the others. [Aaron Giles]

Documentation updates: [Kevin Eshbach]
* For Super Basketball adds the rom locations for those that were missing before and adds the jumper settings
* Documents the SEGA cpu part number for Future Spy and Super Zaxxon

DIPSW update [kanikani]
- fixed default setting of jjsquawk, marked the game as IMPERFECT_SOUND, and added some notes
- added DIPLOCATION for toypop and liblrabl

Intel 8255A PPI:
- Added a new implementation of the I8255A device. Rewritten from scratch to properly support handshaking in modes 1 and 2.
- Refactored sg1000a.c to use the new implementation.

Fixed screen masking and left screen call drawing in tmmjprd. [Angelo Salese]

Added hardware notes to the Quake Arcade Tournament driver. [vidpro1, Andrew Gardner]

Added mechanism for the laserdisc core to return 0 for the philips codes if video is squelched. Updated the Gottlieb and Cliff Hanger drivers to request it this way, since they decode externally. [Aaron Giles]

Made a couple of minor tweaks to the Cliff Hanger driver. Fixed interrupt timing (was not taking into account interlacing) to fix up glitches in playback and ensure the disk test passes. Added SHA1 and marked the game as working. [Aaron Giles]

Promoted Final Lap 2 & Final Lap 3 to working since they just require to init their analog controls (same sequence as Final Lap R). [Angelo Salese]

Added basic support in bitmap.c for 64-bit indexed bitmaps. As a result, you will need a full recompile with this change, since the bitmap formats enum was altered. [Aaron Giles]

Introduced new feature -burnin, which can be used to generate a PNG that represents the overall brightness seen during the course of running a game. This PNG can be used as a fake "bezel" that overlays the screen via the artwork systems (with a low alpha, say 0.1 or 0.2) to simulate running a game with a monitor that has been burned in from another game. [Aaron Giles]

Added flashv2.u30 (v2 bios) to the taitogn driver. [Joerg Hartenberger]

Added IDE Lock mechanism to the IDE Driver in MAME, so games on gnet v2 bios are working correct now (idectrl.c / idectrl.h) & taitogn.c. [Joerg Hartenberger]

Further improvements for Shogun Warriors: [David Haywood, Tomasz Slanina]
-- decoded tables for several of the startup commands, made some observations, was unable to properly decode table 0x80, second byte scrambling is .. odd, so just using extract data right now.
-- properly mapped inputs in Shogun Warriors
-- decodes a block of data used by the Japanese version (fjbuster) for the character select screen. Basically block 0x40 is the same as mcu block/table 0x41, but using different encryption (inline encryption table + additional overlay table instead of each byte being bit shifted)

Calc 3 update: [David Haywood]
- Shuffled a few things around based on new findings
- Added an extra decryption table used for the Brap Boys startup code (still doesn't do anything interesting)
- Noted that one of the unknown parameters for the MCU Init command is where it reads / writes eeprom data from.
- Noted that an additional parameter in the MCU commands may cause further displacement of the writeback address, as BRap Boys seems to rely on this (needs further testing) - added a hack for now so that BRap Boys places the writeback address of the initial table somewhere that causes it to get executed.

Marked graphics ROMs on Led Storm Rally 2011 (US) as bad, as they cannot possibly be the right ones for this set. [David Haywood]

Properly added support for namcos2 multiple posirq anyway. Fixes the following issues:[hap]

Source Changes
--------------
Added a lot of new clones to multfish and cleaned up the driver. [Vampirz, Fabio Priuli, Brian Troha]

Further ROM name fixes and driver name changes [Yasuhiro Ogawa]
- renamed digdugb to digdug1 (it's a rev1, not a bootleg)
- renamed digduga1 to digdugat1

SNES Updates: [Angelo Salese]
- Fixed direct color gfxs in mode 7
- Fixed direct color gfxs in mode 3/4
- Fixed a vram out-of-bounds bug
- Fixed a blending bug involving main/sub color maths
- Fixed interlace mode gfxs when not in gfx modes 5/6
- Fixed a GDMA boundary bug
- Made the OAM address reset more accurate.
- Fixed HDMA mid-frame inits.

- Corrected a bunch of SPC registers behaviour
- improved joypad read/write handling and fixed a serial port quirk.
- Fixed serial port for player 2 as well
- Improved cart mode 20 reserved access behaviour
- added OBJ interlace support

ST-V: Improved timer 1 irq behaviour. Pebble Beach still have issues with gameplay start though (writes lots of garbage for whatever reason, really worked for random chances before). [Angelo Salese]

Corrected name from Devil's Island to Devil Island. Filled in year for Fruit Bonus 2006 SE & Bug Fever. [Brian Troha]

Discrete sound update: [couriersud]
- removed global variable discrete_current_context
- discrete_info is now passed instead of device, we may get device by using disc_info->device
- Added DISCRETE_IMPORT(*block): imports another discrete block
- Added DISCRETE_REMOVE(node1, node2): removes a range of nodes
- Added DISCRETE_REPLACE: next node replaces existing node, thus preserving run order
- Added DISCRETE_NOP(node): does nothing, to be replaced.
- Added a prescanning stage to build final block list after execution of the above.
- The additions provide an easy way to document subtle difference between boards.
- Please see audio/galaxian.c for an example

Galaxian sound updates: [couriersud]
- Moon Cresta and Galaxian now have their respective schematics emulated, i.e. Moon Cresta has a slightly different mixing stage.
- Cleaned up driver, added some section titles and comments, removed old code.
- Removed emu_timer, this was causing a stream of stream_updates only updating 3 samples
- Replaced with discrete timer module DSS_TIMER now.
- Use DISCRETE_NOTE for pitch generation; it is more accurate (within the one ms where the pitch changes :-) ) and saves a node
- Use DISCRETE_BITS_DECODE and save 2 nodes.

YM2612/3834 updates [Eke-Eke, Nemesis]
- Split YM2612/3834 to a separate file to avoid disturbing other OPN chips
- SSG-EG, envelope, LFO, and CSM behavior all improved to better match tested behavior on real YM2612 chips
   
DSS_COUNTER updates: [couriersud]
- clock_node no longer needs to be static for DISC_CLK_IS_FREQ
- rewrote inc/dec logic to avoid loop

Added DISCRETE_BIT(S)_DECODE: [couriersud]
- decodes individual bits from input values
- Updated drivers which had macro DISCRETE_BITSET (which was a bit misleading)
- This should be slightly faster than using DISCRETE_TRANSROM

Discrete sound enhancements: [couriersud]
- Put some life into RCDISC5 enable mode. This now acts as a switch between R and C. Capacitor voltage will be preserved if disabled.
- Made galaxian use the above. Saved 2 nodes and increased accuracy.
- Added DISC_LFSR_FLAG_OUTPUT_SR_SN1 flag to shift register noise generator. This will output the value of the shift register to sub-node 1. This is needed for future bzone discrete sound emulation. BTW: RCDISC5 will be used as well.
- Left a note on RCDISC3 on what is needed to be implemented for bzone.
- Optimized the LFSR a bit. LFSRs running at high frequency (> sample_freq) should benefit.

Verified and fixed deniam.c M68K, Z80, YM3812 and OKIM6295 clocks and OKI pin 7 for logic pro and logic pro 2.  Fixed visible area on logic pro and logic pro 2 to match real PCBs.

Add note about 4 pixels at left edge of screen. [Charles MacDonald, Lord Nightmare]

Attempt to define an I64FMT string that can be used for printf'ing 64-bit integers. This is defined to be "I64" on MSVC and recent mingw compilers, and "ll" for all others. Updated all instances of 64-bit prints to use the new macro. [Aaron Giles]

Added spacwalk extended time setting and DIP locations. [gregf, hap]

Merged 5110intf into tms5110, and 5220intf into tms5220. [Aaron Giles]

8085 changes: [hap]
- fixed cycle deduction on unconditional CALL / RET, it took about half too many cycles
- added cycle tables and cleaned up source layout. This was done very carefully, it should be errorfree.
- removed HLT cycle eating (earlier, HLT after EI could theoretically fail)
- fixed parity flag on add/sub/cmp. Bug was caused by z80 overflow detection accidentally left in
- renamed temp register XX to official name WZ
- renamed flags from Z80 style S Z Y H X V N C  to  S Z X5 H X3 P V C and fixed X5 / V flags where accidentally broken due to flag names confusion

Fixed MSVC 64-bit compile errors. [Aaron Giles]

Added rgb[a]int_sh[l|r] operations to the rgbutils. rgbvmx needs to be updated. (Nobody is using them yet.) [Aaron Giles]

Implemented transparent mode access for some 6845 model sy6845. [Roberto Lavarone]

Verified clocks + Vsyncs on Downtown, Caliber 50 and Xmen (2-4 players). [Corrado Tomaselli]

Changed to mono both Downtown and Caliber 50: these pcbs don't have a stereo connector.  [Corrado Tomaselli]

Verified and added correct xtals values for cps1 boards. Added correct xtal and divisor for OKI6295 taken from Forgotten Worlds schematics. [Corrado Tomaselli]

Source Changes
--------------
Discrete sound updates: [couriersud]
- Fix comments for DISCRETE_TRANSFORM
- FatalError if formula is bad
- Fixed two bugs in DISCRETE_RCDISC3
- Fix some ugly bugs around DISCRETE_FILTER_SW:
    - No more iterations
    - The CD4066 internal resistance largely determines sound amplitude. This may vary significantly depending on VCC and type (74HC, 74HCV, CD4066, ...). The current choice makes scramble sound "about right".
- Added some profiling code for discrete tasks
- Added DISCRETE_INPUT_BUFFER to use a stream to buffer an input node. For input nodes with a lot of writes this prevents a stream_update on the whole discrete module which is very ineffective. Instead, the data is buffered and the discrete emulation can process a lot of samples in one go later.
- Added disc_syc.c as a container for core modules (output, task)
- Discrete wav and csv logs now are treated as nodes
- Added DISCRETE_START and DISCRETE_STOP functions to be called at device start/stop
- As a side effect, profiling measures log overhead as well
- DSO_TASK_END now builds it's own dependence list.
    - now simply DSO_TASK_END() ends a task
- added node parameter to RC_(DIS)CHARGE_EXP
- added const where appropriate
- removed some dead code

* Splitted the main machine driver to cover 2 different Noraut systems.
* Added partial support for PPI-2, PC0-PC2 output lines on noraut11 games.
* Figured out other remaining I/O lines.
* Added new handlers to simulate the handshake lines. Still need real support through PPI-2.
* Updated technical notes.
* Rerouted norautp and norautjp READOUT button to its own place.
* Routed the whole video RAM access through PPI-2. (bypassed the handshake lines for now).
* Merged back the noraut machine drivers after the 3rd PPI connection.
* Added Low Level Hopper manual input.
* Added a new machine driver for extended hardware. It has 2 jumpers that cut the a14 and a15 addressing lines.

Fixed i386 carry/borrow flag in ADC/SBB [Gabriele Gorla]

Fixes to the PIC16C5x CPU core: [Quench]
- Indirect addressing was not taking into account special purpose memory mapped locations.
- 'iorlw' instruction was saving the result to memory instead of the W register.                              
- 'tris' instruction no longer modifies Port-C on PIC models that do not have Port-C implemented.

Added difficulty DIP to BigTwin. [Quench]

- Fixed reads using LDW/LDB
- Fixed writes using STW/STB
- Fixed SBC carry behavior
- Fixed GETC ROM access behavior
- Some SuperFX games begin to show things in MESS

Added redumped u6 GFX rom to kaneko16, fixes Geisya and Sumo [Guru]

Fix circus charly slowdowns: [couriersud]
- use SOUND_DAC device to "buffer" data and avoid 1 sample updates for discrete part
- this is related to "03401: circusc and clones: Slowdown in attract mode with DIP SW "Demo Sounds=ON"" though I do not consider it a bug, but a implementation optimization.

Fixed sound banking for Shogun Warriors [David Haywood]

Added different TOD implementation for CIA6526 and CIA8520. [robiza]

Fixed a small bug with kaneko16 graphic decoding and removed old comment about bad sound banking. [David Haywood]

Added 'Reload All' option to the cheat menu. [Pugsy]

Enabled display of cheat comments from within the cheat menu. Press the SPACE key to toggle display. [Pugsy]

Tweaked the shadows in twin16 to be slightly darker. [hap]

Added new function mame_fclose_and_open_next() which will close a file and then keep searching the searchpath for the next valid file. Did some internal rearranging in fileio.c to make this work. [Aaron Giles]

Changed cheat search so that it loads *all* cheat files in all search paths. Note that it is easy to end up with duplicate entries this way. Some currently disabled code is present which filters out duplicates, but the logic for doing this is quite unclear with the presence of text-only cheats, which is why the code is disabled for now. [Aaron Giles]

M377xx: fix CLB/SEB when not in bank 0. [R. Belmont]

Fixed numerous opcodes in the AVR8 core [Harmony]

Enabled alternate register naming in the MIPS core [Harmony]

- Improved S-DD1 emulation, neither game using S-DD1 boots yet

Added preliminary Zilog Z8 CPU core for MESS. [Curt Coder]

Cleaned up drivers that write files which are not being actively developed. Also, commented our or changed the printf-ing of some messages to LOGERROR. [Tafoid]

* Created new inputs for Witch Card (english, witch game, lamps).
* Added and connected lamps for both sets.
* Added minimal bet and 50/60 Hz. switches to both sets.
* Added DIP switches info for Witch Card (german, set 2).

Added missing rom to a GEI Poker set [Team Europe, Dumping Union]

Naomi/Atomiswave video hardware update: [David Haywood]

  Basically the region array is processed, and the data from the accumulation buffer where we render is now copied into the framebuffer depending on the tiles specified in the tile list. This isn't full 'tile-based rendering' as that would require more work on the preprocessing side, and writing out the data pointers and data in real formats, however it's a step in the right direction

  Currently only 565 formats are supported for both framebuffer write and framebuffer read.  The accumulation buffer is alwys 8888, data is converted down to the specified format.  The real accumulation buffer is 32x32 and filled per tile, ours is still full screen.

  The video update now just displays the framebuffer using the framebuffer read parameters specified (again only 565 is currently supported)  This allows the Atomiswave bios screens and the rendered output to co-exist.

Added proms to scherrym [Team Europe]

Jaguar updates: [Robbbert]
- Added RGB 24-bit pixels (for Iron Soldier)
- Added depth 0 and 1 to scaled bitmaps (for Val Disere Skiing)

"=A" inline assembly seems to be only supported on 32bit gcc. Provide a 64bit safe version of _get_profile_ticks. [couriersud]

Ported Capcom CX4 implementation over from bsnes (original code by zsKnight, anomie and Nach). Mega Man X2 and X3 are now playable in MESS, with bugs. [Harmony]

Partially implemented TMS5110_CMD_TEST_TALK: [couriersud]
- according to the documentation, this needs to be issued to read status on CTL1
- cvs driver needs this

[SNES] Fixed a bug in our DSP1 emulation. Super Mario Kart can be played again in MESS. [Fabio Priuli]

CVS improvements: [couriersud]
- hook up speech cpu
- get rid of "temporary" code which hardwire ctl & pdc writes
- use tms rom clock as sense input for the s2650. darkwar now speaks again on startup.
- only one latch used for sound & speech.
- hooked up 393Hz signal to "dac3"

Support external baud rates in the MC68681 DUART. [R. Belmont]

Implemented a RS and WS line interface for tms5220: [couriersud]
- this emulates the RS/WS and READY handshaking according to the tms5220 manual. Drivers reading the ready line should most probably use it.
- Note: For cases where the READY handshake is done by the cpu sufficient cycles have to be burnt to simulate that the cpu waited. This yet has to be implemented.

- 03458: [Sound] bzone and clones: Broken engine sound (couriersud)


Source Changes
--------------
Added genuine sets of Rally-X and New Rally-X [Team Japump!!!]

discrete_sound_r now can inquiry any node: [couriersud]
- the return type is UINT8, consequently the designer needs to ensure that the node delivers adequately scaled data.
- input nodes allow the input data to be scaled. The return value is the node value *after* scaling.

DISCRETE_74LS624 - optimized for some more speed. [Derrick Renaud]

DISCRETE_566 - started making a more accurate simulation based on testing of a real IC. This makes the rest of Sky Raider sounds work. [Derrick Renaud]

DISCRETE_555_MSTABLE - optimized speed and added new operating modes. [Derrick Renaud]

Fixed ROM name of warpwarp. Also removed 4th program ROM which is not present on real board. [Team Japump!!!]

Memory references can now explicitly specify logical or physical access by prepending with an 'l' or 'p'. Logical remains the default. Example: ppb@1000 = physical program space byte at address $1000. ldw@2000 = logical data space word at address $2000. Changed cheat finder to explicitly reference physical memory when writing out new cheats. [Aaron Giles]

Added simple system for auto-detecting cheat-worthy RAM areas. [Sandro Ronco]

Added NULL check to prevent MAME from crashing if a new input device was connected at runtime. [David Haywood]

Added discrete sound to Sprint 8. [Derrick Renaud]

Removed capacitor aging code and assumed range input is gnd for all 74LS629. [couriersud]

Omplemented m:n logic for buffered task nodes in discrete sound [couriersud]
- preparation work so that a task node output buffer may be read by more than one following task.
- target: implementation of task groups: tasks in a task group run parallel, task groups serial. The current main task may than just be task (in the last task group)

Space Walk - started discrete sounds. [Derrick Renaud]

Added static qualifiers where possible throughout the code. [Atari Ace]

Discrete task groups [couriersud]
- DISCRETE_TASK_START now requires a parameter TASK_GROUP (>=0, <=9)
- Tasks are scheduled in the order of their task group
- Nodes are automatically buffered between task groups
- Discrete core determines nodes which need buffering to minimize overhead (information in DISCRETE_LOG)
- A discrete block list now must put each stepped node into a task if it uses tasks
- Drivers not using tasks will get one task allocated automatically
- Updated drivers accordingly
- Some more constification

Optimized tab removal in srcclean. [Atari Ace]

Centralized color definitions and made some colors more specific. [Mamesick]

Device memory spaces are now visible in the debugger. [Aaron Giles]

Better task processing for discrete sounds: [couriersud]
- tasks are now processed according to their dependency lists. Tasks can now start early and will only process samples which are already available. This has most impact on drivers which have significant variance in the run-time of individual tasks.
- tasks now process samples in slices, currently max 240 samples / slice.
- TASK_GROUP is now obsolete - Will update drivers at a later stage.
- step function pointer now back in node, modules may register optimized step functions.
- profiling code now always compiled, introduced static int profiling = ...
- some more EXPECTED/UNEXPECTED usage.

- Implemented dynamic visible area [Angelo Salese]
- Start to document 3d / framebuffer video registers, implemented a quick hook-up that fixes Buriki One 3d model colors minus one case [Angelo Salese]
- Implemented screen disable when the visible area regs are equal to zero and fixed back layer [Angelo Salese]

Updated the albazg driver to use hanafuda standard inputs, eeprom device, and memory_set_bank in place of memory_set_bankptr. [Fabio Priuli]

System 23 update [Naibo Zhang]
- Corrected memory mapping of palette RAM and handling of palette data. Power-On Self Test now shows correct colors.
- Changed Panic Park from SS23 to S23 game.

Galaxian3 update [Naibo Zhang]
- Fleshed out skeleton driver. Each CPU board passes many self-tests
- Master and slave CPU comms hooked up

Designated Puzzle Bang Bang (vamphalf.c) as Korean version. For this set the title and language cannot be change. [Brian Troha]

Added new module tagmap which is a simple hashed string map. Updated device and input port lists to use the tagmap for tag searches. Also removed the whole "quark" thing from the validity checker in favor of using the tagmaps. [Aaron Giles]

Added Intel 8008 and National Semiconductor SC/MP CPU cores. [Miodrag Milanovic]

INS 8060 SC/MP II support (using clock divider 2), main model renamed to INS 8050 SC/MP. [Miodrag Milanovic]

Updated the astrocorp.c and groundfx.c drivers to use EEPROM device. [Fabio Priuli]

Added support for SCSI command 0x2a (Write w/ 32-bit LBA), upped input buffer size in WD33C93 controller [Harmony]

Hooked up eepromdev.c using PORT_READ_LINE_DEVICE/PORT_WRITE_LINE_DEVICE in groundfx.c. Output ports are now affected by IP_ACTIVE_HIGH/IP_ACTIVE_LOW (eepromdev.c has active low cs). The previous value for callbacks in inptport.c is now tracked per field. This saves recalculating it for PORT_CHANGED & conditional fields wouldn't always get updated correctly. Tidied up eepromdev.c interface. [smf]

Added sprites list stop to igs017.c. Implemented joystick mode in mgdh and sdmg2 [Luca Elia]

Fixed audio output lengths in aviio.c. [CDiFan]

CDP1869 changes: [Curt Coder]
- converted page RAM functions to use devcb
- added pull interface for predisplay

Switched from linear interpolation to antialiased point sampling when upconverting low-frequency sound streams. This should de-muffle low-frequency streams, treating them has having hard edges at sample boundaries. [Aaron Giles]

Converted the following drivers to use EEPROM device: deco156.c, eolith.c, eolith16.c, limenko.c, taito_f3.c, taito_z.c, taito_b.c, taitojc.c, toaplan2.c and kaneko16.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Implemented use of per tile colour lookup ROM in Portraits, colour decode is still wrong [David Haywood]

CF clear after binary operations on Intel 8008 CPU core. [Miodrag Milanovic]

Improvements to Noraut Poker driver: [Roberto Fresca]
* A lot of work in memory maps and machine driver stuff.
* Improved Inputs / DIP switches for some games.
* Added lamps support / layouts to new working games.
* Added preliminary support to Kimble hardware.

* Renamed kimblejp to kimbldhl. Changed game description to Kimble Double Hi-Lo.
* Added specific memory map & machine driver to Kimble Double Hi-Lo.
* Fix the Kimble Double Hi-Lo CPU type.
* Added notes about the code obfuscation and PPI's handling/offsets.

Added Magic Card Jackpot and Magic Lotto Export to Impera Magic Card driver. Also added PCB layouts, hardware description and technical notes. Changed the bipolar prom dumps to serial I2C bus EEPROM. [Roberto Fresca]

Made DEVCB_INPUT_PORT(tag) work for write callbacks. [smf]

Fixed regression in magicard.c driver [Angelo Salese]

Introduced a generic_pointers structure within machine that is designed to hold generic pointers that are commonly used. Moved generic_nvram, videoram, colorram, spriteram*, paletteram* pointers there. Added AM_BASE_GENERIC and AM_SIZE_GENERIC macros for initializing generic pointers in memory maps. Also added AM_BASE_SIZE_GENERIC to set both base and size in one step. [Aaron Giles]

Moved global variables out of machine/generic and into a private data structure hanging off of the running_machine. Added newly-needed machine parameters to coin_counter_w, coin_lockout_w, and coin_lockout_global_w. Also added machine parameter to set_led_state. [Aaron Giles]

Added interface functions to get the number of dispensed tickets and to increment the count, to remove the need for direct access to these global variables. Also added functions to get the current count on a particular coin counter and to determine the lockout state. [Aaron Giles]

Intel 8255A: clear input latch after reading it. [Curt Coder]

Actually use the speaker interface if provided. [Curt Coder]

Purged remaining globals from video/generic.c and audio/generic.c. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed i386 REP prefix to use segment:SI when address size is 16-bit (ie: when using OUTSB or OUTSW). [Barry Rodewald]

Removed limited use of spriteram_3 global. [Atari Ace]

Added AM_BASE_SIZE_MEMBER() macro for specifying both base and size structure members at once. Updated all cases where this could be used. [Aaron Giles]

Cleaned up many driver data structs: [Fabio Priuli]
* dropped almost completely the use of generic sizes with struct members
* reduced as much as possible accesses to cputag calls during emulation (they are now mainly concentrated at MACHINE_START & DRIVER_INIT)

Joker's Wild: bypassed the rng test [Angelo Salese]

Joker's Wild: implemented bare minimum to allow it to go into gameplay and fixed tilemap graphics [Angelo Salese]

Memory regions now use a tagmap for lookups. [Aaron Giles]

Aleck 64: Implemented player 2 inputs [Angelo Salese]

Added a PCB layout for M.Kramer's Black Jack Poker, based on a hi-res pic. Also added undumped devices as NO_DUMP. [Roberto Fresca]

Added common driver data struct to timeplt.c, tutankhm.c, junofrst.c, pooyan.c, rallyx.c and rocnrope.c (these drivers all use audio/timeplt.c). As a side effect, we now have save states in junofrst.c and rallyx.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Converted atari drivers over to using driver_data for the most part. Some shared systems still exist with globals, but this tackles the atarigen module and the variables local to each driver. [Aaron Giles]

Added validity check that AM_BASE_MEMBER and AM_SIZE_MEMBER items point within the bounds of the driver_data structure. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed DMADAC wrapping behavior. [Tim Schuerewegen]

Added Driver Configuration to astrof.c to emulate common wire hack which causes black background [David Haywood]

Converted Signetics 2636 video chip to be a MAME device and updated drivers using it accordingly. [Fabio Priuli]

Memory system changes: [Aaron Giles]
- Memory banks are now referenced by tag rather than index. Changed all memory_bank_* functions to specify a tag. Bulk-converted existing banks to be tagged "bank##" in order to ensure consistency. However, going forward, the tags don't matter, so please name them something useful.

- Added AM_BANK_READ/AM_BANK_WRITE macros to let you specify bank tags. Also changed AM_ROMBANK and AM_RAMBANK macros to accept tags as well.

- Added new functions memory_install_read_bank_handler and memory_install_write_bank_handler to install banks by tag name, similar to input ports.

- Changed internals of memory system to dynamically allocate all banks. The first time a bank with an unknown tag is installed, a new bank object is created and tracked internally.

- Removed SMH_* macros entirely. In their place are a series of expanded macros and new memory installation helpers. Some mappings below (not all are new):

     AM_READ(SMH_RAM)                       -> AM_READONLY
     AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM)                      -> AM_WRITEONLY
     AM_READWRITE(SMH_RAM, SMH_RAM)         -> AM_RAM
     AM_READ(rhandler) AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM)    -> AM_RAM_READ(rhandler)
     AM_READ(SMH_RAM) AM_WRITE(whandler)    -> AM_RAM_WRITE(whandler)
     AM_DEVREAD(tag, rhandler) AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM)
                                  -> AM_RAM_DEVREAD(tag, rhandler)
     AM_READ(SMH_RAM) AM_DEVWRITE(tag, whandler)
                                  -> AM_RAM_DEVWRITE(tag, whandler)

     AM_READ(SMH_ROM)                       -> AM_ROM
     AM_WRITE(SMH_ROM)                      -> (was a no-op)

     AM_READ(SMH_NOP)                       -> AM_READNOP
     AM_WRITE(SMH_NOP)                      -> AM_WRITENOP
     AM_READWRITE(SMH_NOP, SMH_NOP)         -> AM_NOP

   For dynamic memory handler installation of the various types, use the new functions:

     memory_unmap_read()
     memory_unmap_write()
     memory_unmap_readwrite() -- unmaps a section of address space

     memory_nop_read()
     memory_nop_write()
     memory_nop_readwrite() -- nops a section of address space

- Cleaned up the internals of the address_map_entry structure, and also normalized the way the address map macros work to remove a lot of redundancy.

- Renamed functions: memory_install_read/write_port_handler to memory_install_read/write_port

- Memory shares are now specified by tag instead of index. The AM_SHARE() macro now takes a tag parameter. All existing shares have been bulk renamed to "share##". However, the name does not matter, so please use descriptive tags going forward.

- Added tag validation for bank and share tags.

- Added flag to tagmap_add functions that optionally will replace existing objects if a duplicate is found.

- Internal code shuffling. Address maps initialized internally now call the same installation handlers that drivers do for dynamic installation. Cleaned up some parameter ordering and error detection.

- Added new functions:

     memory_install_ram() to assign a un-named bank to a region and specify a pointer to where the RAM lives. If this is called in the DRIVER_INIT function or MACHINE/SOUND/VIDEO_START functions, then it is permissible to specify NULL, in which case the memory system will allocate memory and register it for save states.

     memory_install_rom() is like the above except that it only installs a read handler.

     memory_install_writeonly() is like the above except that it only installs a write handler.

- Updated several instances in the code that were assigning banks to these sorts of static RAM regions and simplified the code.

- Apply mirrors and global masks at address map detokenizing time rather than later.

Added saves to 6522via.c. This fixes problems of gameplan.c and trvquest.c games with -autosave. [Fabio Priuli]

Enabled GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE flag to dday.c because some of the core changes have fixed the sound problem at loading. [Fabio Priuli]

Imported SAA5050 emulation from MESS and made it a device. Updated malzak.c to use it, removing the almost identical implementation in the driver. [Fabio Priuli]

Added TILE_GET_INFO_DEVICE and SET_TILE_INFO_DEVICE macros to tilemap.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Made MB14241 Shifter IC a device and moved its source to emu/machine. Updated mw8080bw.c and 8080bw.c accordingly. Also converted fgoal.c to use this implementation in place of its own version. [Fabio Priuli]

Enhanced the UML opcodes for LOAD, LOADS, and STORE to support arbitrary scaling factors. Previously, specifying a size implied a scaling factor equal to the size (i.e., specifying DWORD meant the index was scaled by 4). This is still the default. However, now you can specify the scale explicitly for other cases. For example, you can specify DWORD_x1 to fetch a DWORD but don't scale the index at all, or BYTE_x8 to fetch a BYTE while scaling the index by 8. Updated all backends to make this work. [Aaron Giles]

sbowling.c - Added proper COINAGE selections as well DIP LOCATIONS to the driver. Added mapping for button 1 which is used to allow change from curve to straight throw. Replaced clock speeds with XTAL values. [Tafoid]

Re-implemented 3d rasterization in the hng64 driver as a FIFO system. [Andrew Gardner]

ggconnie.c - Added DIP LOCATIONS to match those showing in service mode.  Added game year to source from title screen. [Tafoid]

Added preliminary decryption to Victor 5, Victor 21 and Cross Bingo [David Haywood]

Decoded Cross Bingo proms [Angelo Salese]

hexa.c - Added DIP LOCATIONS as well as assigned XTAL for the clock speeds, using those from Arkanoid, since the boards are nearly identical in many aspects. [Tafoid]

RSP recompiler improvements / optimizations: [Harmony]
- Split SATURATE_ACCUM into a signed and unsigned version to reduce stack usage.
- Corrected an issue with the 0h variants of VMRG, VAND, VNAND, VOR, VNOR, VXOR and VNXOR.
- Slightly optimized unaligned reads and writes
- Optimized unaligned dword reads
- Corrected an issue where badly-written RSP programs could jump to invalid addresses

nitedrvr.c, tourtabl.c - Changed clock values to XTAL [Tafoid]

Added new option "numprocessors" (see windows.txt for an explanation). [couriersud]

Optimized N64 RDP renderer by using function pointers to function variants that eliminate costly branches. [Harmony]

Minor drc improvments: [Aaron Giles]
- simplified RSP's misaligned memory accesses
- removed now-unnecessary shifts from direct memory accesses in mips3/powerpc drcs
- optimized AND with 0xff/0xffff/0xffffffff cases for x86/x64
- added rudimentary memory/register tracking in x86 backend to remove redundant loads

cb2001 improvements: [robiza]
- added ay8910 and 8255ppi devices
- added some info about relation between cmast91 and cb2001
- added many opcodes

Fixed sprite-tilemap priorities in Super Slams [Angelo Salese]

Added save states to ics2115 sound device. [Fabio Priuli]

Changed EEPROM usage in many drivers to use the new device version. [Aaron Giles, Fabio Priuli]

Removed auto-init hack from some Konami games. Hold down F2 and reset (via F3) to initialize the EEPROM, like all the other Konami games. [Fabio Priuli]

Cleaned up EEPROM device implementation a bit. [Aaron Giles]

Added flickering effect in Super Slams title screen [Angelo Salese, Guru]

Fixed sprite bank bit in Spark Man [Angelo Salese]

Spark Man: Refactored the protection, implemented thrash protection that's used after the title screen. [Angelo Salese]

EEPROM device now looks for a matching memory region to fetch the default values from. Fixed bug in ROM loader that would change the memory region flags to match devices with no address bus. Updated groundfx to use the new default loading scheme. [Aaron Giles]

Reworked the hng64 polygon chunk recovery code to be more crash-proof. Documented what's known about the 3d data much better. Fixed vertex ROM loading for fatfurwa and buriki. [Andrew Gardner]

Converted rtc65271 to a device. [Aaron Giles]

Added "new" command -listdevices (or -ld) to list the devices attached to a driver. I notice that MESS has a command with the same name; hopefully the behaviors can be combined eventually. [Aaron Giles]

Got rid of explicit resource tracking for state saving. Now we just use the auto_ allocators, since registration is restricted to initialization. [Aaron Giles]

Moved machine->gfx initialization out of the video module and into drawgfx. We now call this before devices are initialized, so that devices can dynamically append to the machine->gfx as needed. [Aaron Giles]

i386 improvements: [Barry Rodewald]

Source Changes
--------------
hng64 improvements: [Andrew Gardner]
- RoadsEdge & XRally polygons are now visible.
- Improved geometry chunk type 0x2e.
- Fleshed out the 'chunk type bits' a little. This will be verified against type 0x24.
- Xrally and roadedge hng64 screens no longer run at 10fps.
- Fixed polygon lookup in driving games.

Changed behavior of -watchdog option to act like a real watchdog. It now specifies the number of seconds after the last video update that will cause auto-termination of MAME. Also modified it to output a message when the watchdog triggers the exit. [Aaron Giles]

Updated windows.txt to reflect this option and the debugger_font options which were never previously documented. [Aaron Giles]

EEPROM changes: [Aaron Giles]
- Fixed auto EEPROM region to properly handle 16-bit data.
- Changed EEPROM device to initialize EEPROM at NVRAM load time rather than init time, giving DEVICE_INIT handlers a chance to muck with the data first.
- Removed _NODEFAULT_ forms of EEPROM driver macros. If you need to add default data, follow the MDRV_EEPROM_ADD() with MDRV_EEPROM_DATA().
- Updated remaining drivers to the new EEPROM device code. Many of them now require a default EEPROM to be loaded along with the ROMs, rather than hard-coded data in the driver
- Exposed an address space for EEPROM devices, meaning the memory is now visible in the debugger and can be accessed via expressions
- Updated all systems that muck directly with EEPROM memory to use memory accessors instead on the EEPROM address space.
- Removed old EEPROM implementation

cb2001: added many new opcodes [robiza]

Split ADC1038, Konami 033906 and Konami 056230 emulation from gticlub.c and konppc.c. Also, converted them to be devices and updated PPC Konami games to use the new code. [Fabio Priuli]

Added a bunch of new protection handlers for Spark Man [Angelo Salese]

sub.c - Put in board XTAL and came up with some seeming better clock speed approximations until board readings can be done. [Tafoid]

mcr.c - Sets tron3 and tron4 don't appear to have a valid working cocktail mode video or controls (upright player2 works fine). Flagged as GAME_NO_COCKTAIL. [Tafoid]

subs.c - Added DIP LOCATIONS. [Tafoid]

Updated qdrmfgp.c to use Konami video devices. [Fabio Priuli]

Cleaned up a bunch of things in the gladiatr.c driver [Angelo Salese]

Removed sysconfig section from game_driver struct. Made compatible_with attribute available for MAME too (with NULL value set in GAMEL macro). [Miodrag Milanovic]

Added preliminary device version of Konami video ICs used in PowerPC games (001005, 001006, 001604 and 037122). [Fabio Priuli]

Converted all Taito custom I/O and video ICs to devices and updated all drivers to use them. [Fabio Priuli]

Simplified bloodbro gfx decoding and removed unnecessary DRIVER_INIT. Marked two weststry sprite ROMs as BAD_DUMP [David Haywood]

Converted Namco IO chips 56xx, 58xx and 59xx to be devices and converted gaplus.c, mappy.c and toypop.c to use the new code. [Fabio Priuli]

Allow any device memory (not just CPU's) to be accessed via debug expressions. Removed support in the expression engine for EEPROM- specific accesses. [Aaron Giles]

Converted Fujitsu MB87078 Volume Controller to be a device and updated taito_b.c to use the new code (it's the only driver emulating this chip atm). [Fabio Priuli]

merit.c - Fixed what might be a copy/paste error in two sets (trvwz3h, trvwz3v) where two roms had the same filename in the same romset. [Tafoid]

Renamed tilemap -> tilemap_t, as the name 'tilemap' is too commonly used for statics and structure members, and some compilers (esp. C++ compilers) don't allow that. [Aaron Giles]

Fix for INP recording ports that have changed notification. Also prevents new inputs from affecting recorded inputs during playback. [mahlemiut]

Updated srcclean to remove "invisible spaces" immediately preceding tabs. [Atari Ace]

Cleaned up braces in the code so that they are properly balanced. [Atari Ace]

Optimized RDP implementation further with more flattened branches. [Harmony]

Converted a number of vector opcodes to the RSP DRC core. [Harmony]

Unrolled and optimized a number of vector opcodes in the interpreter RSP core. [Harmony]

Extended the devtempl.h file to support device address spaces. [Aaron Giles]

cmmb.c - Identified and marked Service Mode DIP. [Tafoid]

Converted the NMK112 to be a device and updated drivers using it accordingly. [Fabio Priuli]

Added GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE flag to psikyosh.c, since the conversion to eeprom devices fixed the remaining issues with save states. [Fabio Priuli, Aaron Giles]

Changed Caveman Ninja driver to use Partial Updates for Raster Effects instead of buffering scanline data [David Haywood]

Changed Deco32 driver to use Partial Updates for Raster Effects instead of buffering scanline data (but left Dragon Gun using the buffering, because the video rendering code is far too slow with 224 partial updates for now) [David Haywood]

Commented out some harmful and suspicious looking interrupt generation in NamcoND1 driver until it's being properly verified; fixes Game Options menu in NCV2 test mode.  [David Haywood]

adp.c improvements: [Angelo Salese]
- Fixed some minor quirks
- Improved Backgammon memory map
- Implemented RAMDAC for Fun Land Deluxe

Fixed error in codegen for drol/dror opcodes in the x86 back-end. [Aaron Giles]

Explicitly sign-extend 32-bit indexes for load/loads/store on 64-bit machines to prevent overflow issues. Fixes DRC crash in mtetrisc. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed a few DRC-ized vector load/store opcodes in the RSP core. [Harmony]

Hardware multiplication and division on the SNES takes 8 machine cycles to complete. [Wilbert Pol]

Fixed x86 HLT instruction handling [Phill Harvey-Smith]

Made LA Girls and clone of Play Girls. It's clearly a bootleg hardware clone. Title & background change, but the demo play and block arrangement are identical. Added info from the Guru's website about the reported manufacture company and year for LA Girls. Added a note about Tube-it having the copyright and manufacture info removed. [Brian Troha]

Added additional information to the dipswitches and configurations sections in the -listxml output [Oliver Stoneberg]

Changed Green Beret sound chip to SN76489 and indicated that the bootleg has an undumped PAL and PROMs [Kevin Eshbach]
