Phil's 'if I get hit by a bus' Namco S22 MLE update [Phil Stroffolino]
TMS32025:
bugfix for lst and lst1 opcodes; the "ignore ARP" hack has been replaced
with a better hack, that doesn't interfere with indirect addressing.
Preliminary serial I/O support has been added, to update DRR/DXR on RINT
and XINT interrupts. set_irq_line() no longer masks the lines with 0x7; this a
llows external triggering of RINT/XINT interrupts.

shed
if reset was used as an exception)

g
the egregious hack I had in there before

Fixes: kinst067gre2, kinst072gre
MIPS DRC fixes [Aaron Giles]
Fixes an edge case where a memory access like:
lw r3,$0(r0)
would leave the stack in a funny state and lead to a crash.
Fixes kinst067red.
Instructions of the form:
ld r10,0(r10)
Would load the low word into r10 first, and then use the modified r10 (p
lus
4) as the address of the high word. Bad bad bad.
Fixes the sky graphics in several of the kinst2 levels.
ZN Improvements [smf]
24-bit rendering support for Judge Dredd
Updates to the 'jalmah' driver [Angelo Salese]
kakumei and kakumei2 now boot but neither are playable due to protection
Misc Updates [Nathan Woods]
src/windows/windows.mak:
- Fixes the afore mentioned problem with x86drc.c
src/fileio.c:
src/windows/fileio.c:
- Adds in a new (windows only) mode for opening files whereby files
can be opened for read/write, but changes are not actually not written
to the original file but rather to a temporary file. This trick is us
ed
by the MESS testing facility so that tests do not mutate the images th
ey
operate on.
- Small cleanups
src/png.c:
- Replaces a #ifdef MESS/#else/#endif combo with a usage of the
APPNAME macro
SPI / 386 updates [Ville Linde]
* raidnfgt now runs normally and correctly through
attract mode and gameplay, modulo the encrypted
graphics. Still kinda mesmerizing :-)
* viperp1 starts to boot now, but doesn't get very far
* Hooked up the Z80 bankswitching, so sound started
playing in some games (notably Raiden Fighters). (R.Belmont)
Various ST-V updates [Mariusz Wojcieszek]
fixes sprites in groovef which is now playable, adds some RBG0 scrolling
which greatly improves background graphics in cotton2, cottonbm, grdforc
e
and othellos
Debugger Fixes [Aaron Giles]
This is a quick attempt to make the debugger more useable with the new
memory system. The masking of addresses and data should now be working
properly again.
Also, you can go to any memory window and type 'P' to view program addre
ss
space, or 'T' to view data address space.
OSD 'NO EXECUTE' Support [Aaron Giles]
This patch introduces two new OSD functions:
osd_alloc_executable();
osd_free_executable();
For most platforms, these can just map to malloc and free. However, star
ting
with WinXP SP2, if you are running on a processor that supports the
NO_EXECUTE bit (currently only 64-bit AMD chips),
standard user-mode memory allocations won't allow you to put code in the
m
and execute it.
Since this is exactly what x86drc.c does, I've added the two functions
above. On Windows, these map to calling VirtualAlloc and VirtualFree, wh
ich
allow you to specify the read/write/execute states of the pages thus
allocated.
Lethal Justice / Egg Venture Cleanups [Aaron Giles]
* merged memory maps
* fixed video size in Egg Venture to correct flicker
* switched to VIDEO_RGB_DIRECT
* removed unnecessary ROM regions and memcpy'ing

Improved timing of several 68k instructions [Sebastien VOLPE]
these changes could do with being verified on a real 68k
m68kcpu.h, m68kcpu.c:
---------------------
A) scc (68000 only): CYC_SCC_R_FALSE was defined, not used, and misnamed
as
the extra 2 cycles happens when CC is true: now used and renamed to
CYC_SCC_R_TRUE
m68kmake.c:
-----------
B) add/adda/and/or/sub/suba (68000 only): the 'extra 2 cycles' cases wer
e not
handled correctly: corrected to be effective on .l only, and also on
register
direct (previously, all sizes were affected, and only in immediate mo
de)
C) jmp d(An,Xn) / pea (An) (68000/68010): tables corrected
D) movem (68000/68010): generated basecount were incorrect in many cases
, so I
added a dedicated table
m68k_in.c:
----------
E) movem.l d(PC),reglist / movem.l d(PC,Xn),reglist (68000/68010): chang
ed
basecount
F) asr/asl/lsr/lsl/ror/rol/roxr/roxl (68000/68010): added '+2n' cycles w
here
missing, as the shift/rotate memory is the only case where '+2n' does
not
apply, and is treated in a specific opcode handler.

CHDCD / Konami GV update [R.Belmont]
- Preliminary CD-ROM support for CHDMAN. Input is from CDRDAO
.toc/.bin images (cdrdao.sourceforge.net). CDRDAO comes with utilities
to convert CDRWIN .cue/.bin images to .toc/.bin format.
- Intel Flash ROM emulation support
- CDROM emulation primitives, including Red Book audio playback
- CDROM support for the AM53cf96 SCSI controller
- Konami GV System driver. GV System is identical to a home
Playstation/PSOne console, except the CD-ROM is SCSI instead of
proprietary.
Stuff still in progress:
- The SPU emulation needs a lot of help, especially on Wedding Rhapsody.
smf is working on it.
- The SCSI CD-ROM emulation needs to be separated out from the AM53cf96 if
we ever emulate other SCSI controllers or CD-ROM drives.
- CHDMAN doesn't output anything useful when you extract a CHD-CD. It
should write out a CDRDAO image.
- Audio tracks on CDs are not compressed at present (or more accurately
they're gzip compressed, which is useless). The plan is to use FLAC at
some point.
src/mame.c:
src/mame.h:
- Changed options.savegame to be a string. If this is a one
character string, then the save state is loaded as before. If it is a
larger string, then cpu_loadsave_schedule_file() is used.
src/state.c:
src/state.h:
- Added a state_save_check_file(); a call that front ends can use to
validate a state save file

Misc bug fixes (HuC6280 problems) [Bryan McPhail]
Some Task Force Harrier Improvements [Tomasz Slanina]
- fixed sprite rendering
- hacks for bg scrolling
- patched some protection issues (sprites are rendered,
no more strange resets)
Game is NOT playable (controls doesn't work).
Maybe something is not mapped correctly or
it's problem with protection (for example ,
player2 buttons works durning boot - it's possible to enter
service mode).

Timer System Update [Aaron Giles]
The timer system is now integer-based instead of floating-point based. It requir
es
64-bit ints. I've defined a new type 'mame_time' which is a 96-bit time value.
There are 32 bits for counting full seconds, and 64 bits for counting subseconds
.
This type is used extensively in the core timer system and the CPU scheduler.
The accuracy of the new system is down to 1 attosecond (10^-18 seconds).
This may seem excessive, but for a 100MHz CPU, each clock cycle is 10^10
attoseconds. That works nicely because 100MHz divides evenly. For a 96MHz
CPU, each clock cycle is 1.041666667 * 10^10 attoseconds. Rounding, we lose
1/3 of an attosecond per cycle in error. Multiply that error by 96000000 and
you end up with an error of 32000000 attoseconds. Fortunately, that's only
0.032ns, but if I had much less accuracy than this, the errors would start
to add up in a more significant way.
All the existing APIs are still around, and doubles can still be passed as
arguments. But they are all immediately connverted to 'mame_time' values for
processing.
The old system had some drifting errors due to FP rounding which are gone
now.
Fixed Unix compile (renamed rand_r in namconb1 driver) [R.Belmont]

src/cpuintrf.c:
src/cpuintrf.h:

- Added ide_bus_0_r() call to access the bus directly
src/cpu/z80/z80.c:
- This patch changes the Z80 CPU core to set the Z80 cycle tables to
their defaults on startup. This removes any need for drivers to r
eset
the Z80 cycle tables back to their defaults on exit.

Big 80s Namco Update [Nicola Salmoria]
this affects the first Namco games that used custom I/O chips.
- these files are no longer needed and should be removed: drivers/bosco.c,
drivers/xevious.c, drivers/digdug.c, machine/digdug.c, machine/galaga.c,
machine/bosco.c, machine/polepos.c, sndhrdw/bosco.c
- added three new sound chips: NAMCO_15XX, NAMCO_52XX, NAMCO_54XX, and
changed drivers to use them (NAMCO_54XX is just a placeholder playing
samples, until the chip is reverse engineered).
- MAME testers bugs fixed: digdug063gre, galaga057gre, bosco071u2gre,
poleposc059gra
- added EAROM support to digdug
- fixed the polepos2 title screen which had been broken since day 1, strange
that nobody noticed.
- fixed various mistakes in the polepos ROM loading (one missing speech ROM
in polepos, polepos2 was using the wrong engine sound ROMs (it's turbo!),
added missing vertical scaling PROMs).
- extensive documentation of ROM names and placement, and differences
between Namco and licensed versions.
- converted all drivers to tilemaps, and made gfx emulation more accurate
according to schematics
- polepos sprite zooming should now be closer to the hardware.
- IP_KEY_PREVIOUS and IP_JOY_PREVIOUS are no longer used by any driver: they
may be removed from the core.
- support for start lamps, coin counters and coin lockout (all
internallyhandled by the custom I/O chip)
- toggling the test switch while the game is running enters test mode
without need to manually reset.
- found and documented test mode Easter eggs in all games except Xevious.
- bosconian now uses a different sound PROM, which seems more correct.
- galaga uses better dumps of the PROMs, with the unused top 4 bits set to
0.
- correct handling of 52XX sample start/end pointers in ROM.
- better emulation of 50XX custom, no more need for hacks in bosconian.
- swapped digdug and digdugb, the main set should be the newer one.
- removed these galaga clones: nebulbee (copyright/name change), galagab2
(mix 'n match of ROMs from other sets), galaga84 (copyright/gfx change),
galagads (1-byte hack to get fast shoot,
reproducible with this line in cheat.dat:
galaga:1:070D:0D:100:Fast Shoot)
- added Galaga rev. B, which is now the main set, renamed the other galagao.
- added galagamk, a different Midway version.
- removed various bad dumps from polepos2b and poleps2c, they turned out to
be the same version so poleps2c is removed.
- drivers/locomotn.c is no longer needed and should be removed
- converted to tilemaps, consolidated as much as I could
- fixed: jungler37b3gre
- correct tile/sprite priority handling (also in Bosconian)
- documented the Easter egg in Rally X
- added starfield in Tactician
- fixed the RC filter control in the games with Konami sound
Big Namco NB1 update [Phil Stroffolino]
Various improvements for System NB emulation, including:
- new driver: Greatest Slugger '93 (Japan)
- hardware shadow support (used heavily in Greatest Slugger)
- dedicated random number generator chip
- sprite stretch glitch (affects Outfoxies intro)
- tilemap tile banking feature (used by Mach Breakers)
- removed several game-specific hacks; now uses dedicated CPU registers
for interrupts
- preliminary support for screen blanking (hides garbage in Outfoxies)
- proper POSIRQ handling, for scanline effects. Fixes the water
effects in Outfoxies. This same feature needs to be folded into System
2 emulation, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
- various Mach Breaker-specific hacks for interpretting the ROZ layer
registers; these aren't yet fully understood. In particular, the
"Monster Pull" stage is missing a "3d floor."

Another big memory change. [Aaron Giles]
The biggest change is the way address maps are declared in the drivers. Rather t
han having
separate read and write address maps, there is now support for a single, merged
map. In order to
minimize the amount of code churn, there is currently still support for two sepa
rate address
maps per address space, but they are combined into one internally early on in th
e memory
initialization and setup.
Because of this change, the 'start' macro for address maps has changed. The old
set of macros:
PROGRAM_READ*_MAP_START(name)
DATA_READ*_MAP_START(name)
IO_READ*_MAP_START(name)
has been replaced by a single macro:
ADDRESS_MAP_START(name, address_space, bits)
and all drivers have been updated to use this new mechanism. In addition, all th
e PROGRAM_*, DATA_*,
and IO_* synonyms are now merged into a single ADDRESS_* macro. For example, PRO
GRAM_MAP_FLAGS is
now just ADDRESS_MAP_FLAGS.
The next big change is that the address maps, in addition to being unified, are
no longer static
arrays. Rather, they are constructed in much the same way the machine drivers ar
e constructed.
Through a series of macros, the address maps are built up in code and type-check
ed along the way.
All existing MAME drivers have been updated to the new macros.
In addition, there are many new options available to support extra features like
mirroring,
automatic pointer assignment, and shared memory pointers. As of this version, on
ly seattle.c and
system24.c have been updated to support the new constructs. Use these as example
s of what can be
done. Also, see the top of memory.c for an explanation of all the new macros.
Once again, the way memory is automatically allocated has changed. It is now don
e based on the
memory maps, like it used to be, but with the added support for shared pointers
and hard-coded
pointers into memory regions.
Save states should now work, but once again, they are saving more data than is s
trictly
necessary.
Internally, the way address map lookup tables has changed, so that subtables can
be reused. This
is important if a small memory region is mirrored across a large address space;
the old code
didn't coalesce identical subtables, which would have blown up in a big way with
tricky mirrors.
Renamed a bunch of internal memory state, including OP_ROM, OP_RAM, and several
others.
Added save state support for 64-bit data types. [Olivier Galibert]

src/vidhrdw/stvvdp1.c
Discrete Sound SYstem Updates [Derrick Renaud]
======================
* fixed/added more documentation of functions at top of discrete.h
* DISCRETE_RCFILTER - fixed bug that allowed module to use nodes not ava
ilable to it.
Can't beleive it did not crash before.
==========================
* DISCRETE_CRFILTER - high pass R/C filter.
* DISCRETE_COUNTER - Presettable up/down counter, external clock with se
lectable count edge.
* DISCRETE_COUNTER_FIX - Presettable up/down counter with bult-in freque
ncy generator.
* DISCRETE_ONESHOT - Fixed it. Added selectable: edge trigger; re-trigge
r; output active state.
* DISCRETE_ONESHOTR - Same as DISCRETE_ONESHOT but with reset.
Game Driver Changes
===================
* poolshrk - Discrete sound emulation added.
* bsktball - changed bounce sound to use DISCRETE_CRFILTER.
Updates to the Gameplan driver [Nicola Salmoria]
- rewritten using machine/6522via.c and machine/6532riot.c, which weren'
t
available at the time it was created. This fixed the gfx problems and
bad
sound.
- vidhrdw/gameplan.c is no longer needed.
- machine/6532riot: added PA7 adge detect and irq callback
- machine/6522via: fixed port writes so that pins set as input are pulle
d
high. This is required by the gameplan games and is confirmed by the 6
5422
data sheet. Added support for CA2 pulse handshake.
System 21 updates [Phil Stroffolino]
- hooked up preliminary support for System21's "depth bias" feature,
used as a corrective factor when sorting polygons by representative z
value. It's not perfect, but a step in the right direction.
- improved polygon colors in CyberSled
- better parsing of CyberSled's display list; title screen and ingame
graphics now appear and are mostly correct
- hooked up CyberSled input ports; they can be configured with the
usual mechanism: hold the 'service' key while flipping the test
dipswitch
- added near-plane clipping for System21's flat-shaded polygons
- hooked up the view transform, used in Starblade to tilt the screen
when player is targeting the edges of the playfield
- hooked up a private (placeholder) implementation of zdrawgfx() for
C355 sprite rendering, adding sprite-tilemap orthogonality for all
games using that chip. This fixes MAMEtesters bug ptblank056gre.
- C355 sprite rendering no longer relies on game-specific hacks for XY
placement or cropping
- some rudimentary work has been done for "Winning Run '91"; this game
runs on prototype System21 hardware, and as such is quite different
from the other titles. It uses a 3rd 68k CPU to render graphics to a
bitmap layer (there is no sprite chip), but still appears to rely on
DSPs for 3d graphics.
- updated System21 notes/comments.

Phase 2 of Aaron's Updates [Aaron Giles]
----------------------------------------
Changes:
* CPUs with an implicit address shift (e.g., the TMS34010 shifts addresses
right 3 bits; the TMS32031 shifts addresses left 2 bits) now automatically
get that shift applied to addresses in their memory maps and in calls to
install_memory_read/write_handler(). This eliminates many ugly macros in the
memory maps. Affected CPU cores are the ADSP210x, CCPU, PIC16C5x, TMS3201x,
TMS3202x, TMS32031, and TMS340x0. Note that the CPU cores themselves still
need to pass shifted values to the core read/write routines. All drivers
using these cores have had their icky macros and bitshifts removed.
* Harvard architecture CPUs now have data memory fully implemented now.
Affected CPUs are the ADSP210x, TMS3201x, TMS3202x, PIC16C5x, and CCPU. All
cores have been modified to fully split program and data memory. All drivers
using these cores now specify explicit program and data memory maps. This
also gets rid of a ton of ugly macros used in memory maps.
* The memory_set_bankhandler calls are now officially history. There were
fewer than a dozen drivers using them, and they all have been converted over
to using install_mem_read_handler instead where appropriate. This eliminates
the last 8-bit-specific hack in the memory system. As a result, RAM reads
and writes out of banked memory should be slightly faster on 8-bit CPUs
because they are handled inline.
* New dynamic memory allocation scheme. The previous method relied on
parsing the read/write handlers. The new method simply looks at the
top-level memory map after it has been populated, and allocates memory for
any mapped 16k chunk. This will likely cause more memory to be allocated
than before, but the process is less error prone. Also, checks are now in to
make sure that the memory_region for the program address space is the
minimum necessary to support non-sparse address spaces.
* Fully integrated save/restore memory blocks. Before, the save/restore
system had its own memory map walking routines. That's gone now. Instead,
memory blocks are registered as they are allocated by the dynamic memory
allocator. Note that this will likely cause save states to be bigger than
they were before (and certainly, they will not be compatible), but disk
space is cheap, live with it.
* Address spaces are now determined dynamically based on whether a given CPU
returns a non-zero value for the address bus width for a given space.
* Fixed incorrect address bus widths on the I8039 CPU core.
* Added a TMS32026 entry and reworked the handling of internal RAM to work
in the new system. This means the Taito Air system is now back to its former
state.
* Fixed the memory handlers in gottlieb.c to use address space masking
instead of mapping extra mirrored areas.

Huge Namco Mappy Era Systems Update [Nicola Salmoria]
- Most games merged into mappy.c, so the following files are no longer
needed:
drivers/superpac.c vidhrdw/superpac.c machine/superpac.c
drivers/grobda.c vidhrdw/grobda.c machine/grobda.c
drivers/phozon.c vidhrdw/phozon.c machine/phozon.c
machine/mappy.c
- one new file: machine/namcoio.c. This implements the 56XX and 58XX I/O
custom chips used by all the games. The I/O chips are now accurately
simulated, fixing subtle nuances during normal operation and not-so-subtle
ones in test mode; e.g. you can now scroll the grid in Mappy's test mode.
- fixed and verified inputs and dip switches for all games.
- found and documented the Easter eggs in all games except Toy Pop.
- fixed interrupt and sub cpu reset handling, which caused some games to
report errors when entering test mode without resetting.
- added detailed memory maps where schematics allowed.
- all drivers converted to tilemaps
- cocktail mode in Phozon, and non-hack implementation in Gaplus
- fixed priorities in superpac. With the previos code, ghost eyes had
priority over everything else, even other sprites, giving wrong results when
two ghosts overlapped.
- round advance dip switch in Gaplus available & working
- fixed a missing sound effect in Phozon that nobody would have ever
noticed.
- MAME testers bugs fixed:
mappy37b4gre
mappy37b8gre
phozon37b8gre
motos054gre
- I've also included a revised warpwarp.c, converted to tilemaps and with
the Warp Warp Easter egg documented.

The only change in u2 is the overhaul of the memory system mentioned below, no n
ew drivers have been
added

----------------------
Significant overhaul of the memory system. This is the first of several phases,
but it lays the
groundwork for future improvements. This first change will also be the most disr
uptive, touching every
CPU core and every driver file [Aaron Giles]
Memory system changes
---------------------
The biggest change is the introduction of the concept of address spaces. Each CP
U can have up to 3
separate address spaces now, with the possibility of easily adding more in the f
uture. Each address
space has its own addressing semantics, including databus width, address bus wid
th, address shift, and
unmapped memory value.
The three existing address spaces are defined to be program, data, and I/O. The
program address space is
where code is assumed to live; it is also where all memory lives in standard von
Neumann architecture
CPUs. The data address space is for Harvard architecture CPUs, and will be used
in the future to do
proper program/data separation for the CCPU, PIC16C5x, ADSP210x, TMS32010, and T
MS32025. The I/O address
space is used for port accesses, such as those performed by the Z80 and x86 CPUs
.
The read/write handlers used by CPUs to access memory have all been renamed in t
he shuffle, both in order
to match the address space naming conventions (program/data/io) and in order to
make it clearer what they
do. In addition, they have been unified to a large degree. Instead of separate m
emory accessors based on
both the address bus width and the data bus width, there is now just one shared
set of memory accessors
for each data bus width. Here are some examples of how older functions map to ne
wer ones:
cpu_readmem16, cpu_readmem17, cpu_readmem20, -> program_read_byte_8
cpu_readmem21, cpu_readmem24
cpu_writemem_16bew_word, cpu_writemem18bew_word, -> program_write_word_16be
cpu_writemem_24bew_word, cpu_writemem32bew_word
cpu_readport -> io_read_byte_8
A common annoyance used to be that drivers would need to know which of these fun
ctions to call in order
to read memory. A table of accessors is now included as part of the memory conte
xt switch, which allows
the addition of generic functions that can be used by the drivers to access memo
ry. For example, a driver
trying to read a word from a 68000's address space used to have to call cpu_read
mem24bew_word(). Now the
driver can just call program_read_word(), and the memory system will do the righ
t thing.
In addition, there is now a single change_pc() macro used by all CPU cores, rega
rdless of the databus or
address bus width.
Along with these changes, the macros for defining memory maps has changed for co
nsistency as well, as
follows:
MEMORY_READ_START -> PROGRAM_READ8_MAP_START
MEMORY_READ16_START -> PROGRAM_READ16_MAP_START
MEMORY_READ32_START -> PROGRAM_READ32_MAP_START
MEMORY_WRITE_START -> PROGRAM_WRITE8_MAP_START
MEMORY_WRITE16_START -> PROGRAM_WRITE16_MAP_START
MEMORY_WRITE32_START -> PROGRAM_WRITE32_MAP_START
MEMORY_END -> PROGRAM_MAP_END
PORT_READ_START -> IO_READ8_MAP_START
PORT_READ16_START -> IO_READ16_MAP_START
PORT_READ32_START -> IO_READ32_MAP_START
PORT_WRITE_START -> IO_WRITE8_MAP_START
PORT_WRITE16_START -> IO_WRITE16_MAP_START
PORT_WRITE32_START -> IO_WRITE32_MAP_START
PORT_END -> IO_MAP_END
Along the way, support has been also added for CPUs with a 64-bit data bus, so t
here are also macros for
PROGRAM_READ64_MAP_START, etc.
One of the future goals of the memory system is to support not just ranges of me
mory, but also better
support for mirrors and more complicated situations where addressing is repeated
at regular intervals.
In order to facilitate this, macros have been created that must be used when def
ining a memory map:
MEMORY_READ_START PROGRAM_READ8_MAP_START
{ 0x0000, 0xffff, MRA_RAM }, -> READ_RANGE( 0x0000, 0xff
ff, MRA8_RAM )
MEMORY_END PROGRAM_MAP_END
MEMORY_WRITE_START PROGRAM_WRITE8_MAP_START
{ 0x0000, 0x0fff, MRA_RAM }, WRITE_RANGE ( 0x0000,
0x0fff, MRA_RAM )
{ 0x1000, 0x7fff, MRA_RAM, &foo }, -> WRITE_RANGE_P ( 0x1000,
0x7fff, MRA_RAM, &foo )
{ 0x8000, 0xffff, MRA_RAM, &bar, &bar_size }, WRITE_RANGE_PS( 0x8000,
0xffff, MRA_RAM, &bar, &bar_size )
MEMORY_END PROGRAM_MAP_END
Since all the memory maps were changing anyway, static 8-bit handlers have been
renamed for consistency.
This means that MRA_NOP becomes MRA8_NOP, etc.
Prior versions of MAME allowed special entries in the read/write maps to control
the number of effective
address bits. This mechanism has changed so that you can supply an arbitrary com
bination of flags:
MEMORY_ADDRESS_BITS(20) -> PROGRAM_MAP_FLAGS( MEMORY_ABITS(20) )
and it has been enhanced to also allow you to specify the unmapped memory value:
PROGRAM_MAP_FLAGS( MEMORY_UNMAPPED_0 ) /* unmapped reads return all 0's */
PROGRAM_MAP_FLAGS( MEMORY_UNMAPPED_1 ) /* unmapped reads return all 1's */
Because of this mechanism, the old function memory_set_unmap_value() has been de
precated. All drivers
using this have been updated to use the new mechanism instead. Also note that th
e MRA_NOP handlers have
been changed to return the unmapped value as well, instead of always returning 0
.
Another "feature" that has changed is that unmapped reads and writes to address
spaces of less than 20
bits no longer act like RAM. This may break some drivers, but it ends the specia
l treatment of 8-bit
address spaces.
In the machine driver macros, the address space is now explicitly specified:
MDRV_CPU_MEMORY(read,write) -> MDRV_CPU_PROGRAM_MAP(read,write)
/* not applicable */ -> MDRV_CPU_DATA_MAP(read,write)
MDRV_CPU_PORTS(read,write) -> MDRV_CPU_IO_MAP(read,write)
CPU Interface Changes

---------------------
The other significant change in this release is the way CPUs are defined and ref
erenced. Previously,
the file cpuintrf.c contained a huge table with many pointers into each CPU, and
a bunch of data about
each CPU type. This was problematic to maintain, and left a bunch of data out of
the CPU core to be
defined by MAME instead.
The new release defines a new function that every CPU core must implement, of th
e form:
<cputype>_get_info(UINT32 state, union cpuinfo *info)
This is the only public function defined for each CPU core. The table in cpuintr
f.c now simply consists
of an enumerated index for the CPU type, followed by the pointer to the actual C
PU's get_info function.
The flexible get_info function is then responsible for providing pointers to all
the remaining functions.
In addition, the number of other functions has been greatly reduced:
void set_info(UINT32 state, union cpuinfo *info);
void get_context(void *context);
void set_context(void *context);
void init(void);
void reset(void *param);
void exit(void);
int execute(int cycles);
void burn(int cycles);
offs_t disassemble(char *buffer, offs_t pc);
The old functions get_reg, set_reg, set_irq_line, set_irq_callback, info, get_cy
cle_table, set_cycle_table
have all been incorporated into get_info and set_info.
All the existing MAME CPU cores have been updated to work with this new system.
Also, for most cores, all
functions and the icount global variable have been made static apart from the ge
t_info function. A number
of selectors for get_info/set_info have been defined to return information about
the CPU, including the
address and data bus sizes for all address spaces, clock dividers, IRQ line size
, context size, etc.
NOTE TO PORTERS: the cpuintrf[] array is now populated dynamically by the cpuint
rf_init() function. This
means that if you have informational code or other code that relies on the CPU i
nformation being present
(i.e., if you call any of the cputype_* functions) before calling run_game(), yo
u must manually call
cpuintrf_init() first. Don't worry, it is safe to call cpuintrf_init() multiple
times.

Improvements to ST-V Emulation [Mariusz Wojcieszek]
- Changes to sprites color calculation. I fixed it using in color bank m
odes by using color
offset register from VDP2. Now shienryu kludge is no longer needed and
also sprite colors
in Winter Heat and Virtua Fighter Kids are correct.
- Changes for Princess Clara Daisakusen (prikura) so that game is playab
le now (as far I
tested it).
- Prikura tried to render distorted sprites with xsize = 0 or ysize = 0
and this caused
crash. As these values are prohibited according to manual, I ignore di
storted sprites with
xsize = 0 or ysize = 0.
- I found that missing MINIT for slave to run the sprites is done by usi
ng address 0x01406f40
instead of 0x01000000. I'm not sure if my change is a hack or real har
dware behaves in that
way, but in my opinion it is possible that whole range of addresses (0
x01000000 - 0x017fffff)
is used for MINIT. I added MINIT only for one address used by prikura.
- Bad sprite colors were fixed in point 1.
- Small change for vdp2: commented out a call to usrintf_showmessage().
Data East MLC Improvements [Bryan McPhail]

Namco 8080 Cleanup [Nicola Salmoria]
- merged geebee.c and warpwarp.c since they are variations of the same h
ardware design.
drivers/geebee.c, machine/geebee.c and vidhrdw/geebee.c are no longer
needed.
- renamed Navalone -> Navarone. I guess that's the correct name, as in "
the guns of Navarone".
- renamed kaitein -> kaitei and kaitei -> kaiteik; made the Namco set th
e main one. I don't
recall if this was already discussed, but I believe kaiteik is a proto
type developed by a
third party and sold to Namco, where it was completely rewritten.
- fixed inputs and dip switches in all games.
- fixed "ball" size in sos and kaitein - the harpoon in kaitein no longe
r looks like a rock.
- removed a hack in Warp Warp that didn't draw the ball in the bottom le
ft corner. The flyer
confirms that the ball is supposed to be there.
src/chd.c:

TMS32031 Fixes [Aaron Giles]
many fixes to the TMS32031 core; Offroad Challenge is almost playable as
a
result, minus the fact that the clipping plane seems to like clipping ou
t
the cars during the race. But the terrain problems are fixed at least.
Memory Annoyance Fix [Aaron Giles]
Unmapped memory accesses always reported the raw byte address, not the
CPU-level address. This is annoying for chips like the TMS34010 or the
TMS32031, so now the effecitve offset is logged instead, taking into acc
ount
the address shift.
Some Input Port Corrections [Robin Merrill, fixed by Bryan McPhail]
OSD Fix [Aaron Giles]
This is a minor fix to enable the OSD for non-debug builds regardless of

slow, this is not a bug, sound is still poor or non-existant in most titles, the

haven't been tested for long so could easily fail at later levels. Games which
were marked as working in previous updates are also improved (shienryu etc.)

Puyo Puyo Sun - some priority glitches, otherwise looks good
Mausuke Ojama the World - mostly ok
Ejihon Tantei Jimusyo - missing alpha effect on lens
Virtua Fighter Kids - bad sprite colours, missing ground effects
Columns 97 - miscoloured sprites, background not correctly scaled
Cotton 2 - missing ground in places
Cotton Boomerang - missing ground in places
Die Hard Arcade / Dynamite Deka - missing floors / ceilings
there might be others too, a few can certainly be watched. this driver

interface (it is extraneous now)
src/x86drc.c:
src/x86drc.h:

- Added a drc_dasm() call, a debug call that uses MAME's I386
disassembler to disassemble DRC'd code
(didn't compile, commented out until fixed)
src/mame.h:
- Added 'GAMENOUN' and 'GAMESNOUN' macros; defined to be the

(e.g. DirectX needs -Wno-strict-aliasing).
COMPILESYSTEM_CYGWIN determines if nasm or nasmw is used (the cygwin
version of nasm is called nasm)
windows\fileio.c:
Quick fix for some #defines in that don't work with win32api 2.4

SegaPCM fixes [Olivier Galibert]
Fixes the pitch (the 15800Hz value was wrong, it should have been the
main 4Mhz clock divived by 256) and also makes the code ultra-paranoid
when it comes to out-of-range accesses in the sample roms. Power
Drift's sound code sometimes puts semirandom values for the first
handful of keyons on song transitions.

0.76
It appears no new timer system related bugs were found with 0.75u1 so *hopefully
* this
release will be better than the last, 0.75 ended up not being not too great due
to the
problems with the YM2151 sound etc.
----------------------
Various ST-V and SH-2 improvements, shienryu is improved as are many other games
but
no more are really playable yet (although I have changed Shienryu to IMPERFECT_G
FX
instead of NOT_WORKING as it seems ok, just the sprites are black)

Please TEST this release, I had hoped 0.75 would be the end of the timer related
bugs
for good but it wasn't so if this tests out as ok then I'll probably release 0.7

within a fairly short period of time, if sound has vanished on any games, or any
thing
that booted in .75 no longer boots let us know, the sooner the better.

Fixed Dorachan Orientation [Tomasz Slanina]
src/drivers/dorachan.c
src/vidhrdw/dorachan.c
Various Fixes [Nathan Woods]
src/artwork.c:
src/artwork.h:
src/common.c:
- Fixes a screenshot handling bug that affected Space Invaders
src/cheat.c:
- Moves the MESS specific code into a separate module, reducing
#ifdef clutter
src/harddisk.c:
- Moved some variable declarations out of for loops so that it
can compile in non-GCC compilers
src/cpu/i86/instr86.c:
- Fixes REP CMPSW so that it uses words and not bytes
src/cpuintrf.c:
src/cpuintrf.h:
- Adds a call cpuintrf_set_dasm_override() that gives drivers
the ability to customize disassemblies. This probably isn't very useful
for MAME, but it is useful for MESS for things like software interrupts
used for BIOS calls.
- Increases the size of the buffer used when logerror() output
goes to OutputDebugString()
src/windows/config.h:
src/windows/winmain.c:
- Moves config.c externs to a header file
- Adds another call, cli_rc_create(), which creates MAME's rc
struct for use elsewhere. (I'm actually creating a debug time
consistency check feature for MAME32, to verify at runtime that the
arguments that MAME32 has are consistent with MAME's).
src/rc.c:
- When rc_destroy() is now called, freed pointers to strings and
files will now be NULLed out.
Overhauled the Canyon Bomber driver with a number of minor fixes like correct
RAM size and VBLANK duration. [Stefan Jokisch]
- hiscore reset button added
- sprite positions should be fixed according to the schems
- language ROM added (i.e. the language dip works now)
- prototype set renamed from canbprot to canyonp

----------------------
The TESTDRIVER system has been removed, all drivers are now enabled working or n
ot,
this decision was made by several members of the development team. The drivers
that were previously TESTDRIVERS are still marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING so can be
filtered out easily with a front-end. Please note, the enabling of these driver
s
does not indicate they're any closer to working than when they were first added
and in many cases it could still be several years before they work depending on
when they're worked on and how difficult they prove to be. We're always looking
for talented programmers to work on and improve Mame, some of these drivers coul
d
be a good place to start (others may be near impossible to fix)
If any GAME_NOT_WORKING flags have been missed let us know at Mametesters

Fixed a bug in the C 68000 core with the SBCD Opcode [Acho A/ Tang]
States of the sign(N) and overflow(V) flags after SBCD,
ABCD and NBCD operations are "undefined" according to Motorola.
The C core randomizes the V flag and sets the N flag like signed
operations.
Viofight expects determinant results of the two flags from SBCD
or it gets stuck in a math loop. The V flag now returns zero and
the N flag mirrors carry exactly like what the ASM core does.

Couple of Improvements to the Fuuki games (Priority, BG Colours) [Paul Priest]
src/drivers/fuukifg2.c
src/vidhrdw/fuukifg2.c
Guard against OP_ROM/OP_RAM overflows [Nathan Woods]
This patch adds an optional facility to guard against OP_ROM/OP_RAM
overflows. This is implemented by adding new variables OP_MEM_MIN and
OP_MEM_MAX that track the minimum and maximum address ranges for which
using OP_ROM/OP_RAM is valid.
Support for this feature is enabled via conditional compilation in
memory.h. There are three possible modes:
CPUREADOP_SAFETY_NONE - The status quo; no range checking at
all
CPUREADOP_SAFETY_PARTIAL - Range checking only against the
maximum address
CPUREADOP_SAFETY_FULL - Range checking against both the
minimum and the maximum
This patch has MAME using CPUREADOP_SAFETY_NONE, unless MAME_DEBUG is
defined in which case CPUREADOP_SAFETY_FULL is set. Thus as is, this
patch should have zero effect on release versions of MAME.
Additionally, being able to safely disassemble code near bank boundaries
when using the MAME debugger is extremely useful.
There is a slight performance hit when this is enabled.
Dipswitch Fixes:

Change so DIP menu isn't displayed if no Dipswitches are defined in the driver

src/usrintrf.c
Various Changes [Nathan Woods]
- Fixed a bug in the NORMI opcode
src/cpu/mips/mips.c:
- Removed use of the GCC specific varargs on macros feature
src/sndhrdw/jaguar.c:
- Changed around one of the #include paths (due to
ProjectBuilder on Mac issues)
src/sound/tms5220.h:
- Added support for the TMS0285 variant (an old variant of the
TMS5220)
src/vidhrdw/jagblit.c:
- Added support for the SRCSHADE and DSTA2 command bits to the
Jaguar blitter.
- Added some miscellaneous logging code
src/vidhrdw/jagobj.c:
- Added support for objects with pitch != 1 for objects with 1-2
bits per pixels
src/harddisk.c:
src/harddisk.h:
- Added a function to retrieve the interface
src/ui_text.c:
src/ui_text.h:
- Added a MESS specific UI string (within #ifdef MESS of course)
src/usrintrf.c:
- Parameterized the setdipswitches() call; so that a menu that
looks like the DIP switch menu can easily be made with different IPT_*
values (MESS has a configuration menu that functions a lot like the DIP
switch menu)
src/artwork.c:
- Small fix to allow the UI to be drawn if the artwork system is
active but no artwork is present (not an issue for MAME)
src/mamedbg.c:
- Cleanup and fix of set_ea_info() so that negative offsets of 8
or 16 bits do not have extraneous FF's in front of them.
- More proper fix to the scanline display bug that prevented
registers from being edited when the scanline display was on.
src/cpu/hd6309/6309dasm.c:
- Better message for when invalid opcodes are disassembled
src/artwork.c
src/artwork.h
- Fixed crashing bug with clones
src/inptport.c:
- Adds some MESS specific IPT defaults (within #ifdef MESS)
- Modified input_port_allocate() so that PORT_BITX declarations
that specify JOYCODE_a_BUTTONb for their default codes will also get
JOYCODE_MOUSE_a_BUTTONb or'd in.
src/input.c:
src/input.h:
- Added seq_set_4() and seq_set_5()
- Changed render_frame() so that throttle_speed() will also be
called when game_is_paused is set. This prevents MAME from busy looping
when paused.

or it gets stuck in a math loop. The V flag now returns zero and
the N flag mirrors carry exactly like what the ASM core does.

Couple of Improvements to the Fuuki games (Priority, BG Colours) [Paul Priest]
Guard against OP_ROM/OP_RAM overflows [Nathan Woods]
This patch adds an optional facility to guard against OP_ROM/OP_RAM
overflows. This is implemented by adding new variables OP_MEM_MIN and
OP_MEM_MAX that track the minimum and maximum address ranges for which
using OP_ROM/OP_RAM is valid.
Support for this feature is enabled via conditional compilation in
memory.h. There are three possible modes:
CPUREADOP_SAFETY_NONE - The status quo; no range checking at
all
CPUREADOP_SAFETY_PARTIAL - Range checking only against the
maximum address
CPUREADOP_SAFETY_FULL - Range checking against both the
minimum and the maximum
This patch has MAME using CPUREADOP_SAFETY_NONE, unless MAME_DEBUG is
defined in which case CPUREADOP_SAFETY_FULL is set. Thus as is, this
patch should have zero effect on release versions of MAME.
Additionally, being able to safely disassemble code near bank boundaries
when using the MAME debugger is extremely useful.
There is a slight performance hit when this is enabled.

Change so DIP menu isn't displayed if no Dipswitches are defined in the driver
instead of flashing a blank mneu when you try and enter it [Paul Priest]
src/usrintrf.c
- Fixed a bug in the NORMI opcode
src/cpu/mips/mips.c:
- Removed use of the GCC specific varargs on macros feature
src/sndhrdw/jaguar.c:
src/sound/tms5220.h:
- Added support for the TMS0285 variant (an old variant of the
TMS5220)
src/vidhrdw/jagblit.c:
- Added support for the SRCSHADE and DSTA2 command bits to the
Jaguar blitter.
- Added some miscellaneous logging code
src/vidhrdw/jagobj.c:
- Added support for objects with pitch != 1 for objects with 1-2
bits per pixels
src/harddisk.c:
src/harddisk.h:
- Added a function to retrieve the interface
src/ui_text.c:
src/ui_text.h:
- Added a MESS specific UI string (within #ifdef MESS of course)
src/usrintrf.c:
- Parameterized the setdipswitches() call; so that a menu that
looks like the DIP switch menu can easily be made with different IPT_*
values (MESS has a configuration menu that functions a lot like the DIP
switch menu)
src/artwork.c:
- Small fix to allow the UI to be drawn if the artwork system is
active but no artwork is present (not an issue for MAME)
src/mamedbg.c:
- Cleanup and fix of set_ea_info() so that negative offsets of 8
or 16 bits do not have extraneous FF's in front of them.
- More proper fix to the scanline display bug that prevented
registers from being edited when the scanline display was on.
src/cpu/hd6309/6309dasm.c:
- Better message for when invalid opcodes are disassembled
src/artwork.c
src/artwork.h
- Fixed crashing bug with clones
src/inptport.c:
- Adds some MESS specific IPT defaults (within #ifdef MESS)
- Modified input_port_allocate() so that PORT_BITX declarations
that specify JOYCODE_a_BUTTONb for their default codes will also get
JOYCODE_MOUSE_a_BUTTONb or'd in.
src/input.c:
src/input.h:
- Added seq_set_4() and seq_set_5()
- Changed render_frame() so that throttle_speed() will also be
called when game_is_paused is set. This prevents MAME from busy looping
when paused.

Megatech / Megaplay / NSS are preliminary, since the menu system doesn't yet wor

perfectly on Megatech I've marked all the games as non-working, Megaplay still
doesn't boot so those are marked as Non-working, and the NSS menu isn't emulated
at all yet so I also consider that to be Non-working, I've enabled these anyway
as it may encourage others to help with the development, Mame is NOT turning int

an emulator for Consoles, these are Arcade systems much like PlayChoice-10.
Outrunners is currently still broken due to problems with the V60 and recent tim

The games using the sp0250 sound for speech still need samples for the sound

src/fileio.c:
- Introduced a "debug cookie"; when in debug mode, puts a cookie
value in the mame_file structure to prevent files from being closed
twice without an assertion
- Fixes a bug in visible area changing in windowed, non-stretch
mode. Previously, when the visible area changed, the code would simply
change the visible area, and look at the resulting window size and tweak
it accordingly with win_adjust_window(). The problem with this is that
if you have a sequence where the visible area is made larger, then
smaller again, what would happen is you wouldn't get the original window
size; you would simply get the enlarged window with a bunch of buffer
area. Now instead of calling win_adjust_window(), I added code that
preserves the "scale" factors, and the space between the emulation
rectangle and the window client area.
src/windows/winddraw.h:
src/windows/winddraw.c:
src/windows/wind3d.c:
- Added a call win_ddraw_fullscreen_margins() that given the
dwWidth and dwHeight parameters of a DirectDraw surface, comes up with a
RECT that represents the margins. For MAME, this is a very simple
operation (a rectangle from (0,0)-(dwWidth,dwHeight)) (and the
implementation that I've submitted is corrspondingly simple), but in
MESS the window can have a menu bar so this operation works differently.
I've also modified winddraw.c and wind3d.c to use this call.

- Changes timers so that they are now 'mame_timer *' instead of
'void *'. mame_timer is an opaque structure, similar to mame_file in
fileio.h. I didn't update any code using timers yet; it doesn't seem to
me that there isn't a rush and since they used 'void *' before,
everything compiles just fine. I hope noone objects to this one.
- Fixes a potential crash in jaguar_tom_regs_w() (while this
crash doesn't occur under normal execution of the cojag games though, it
can occur if modified ROMs are being used).

Various Sound Improvements to YM2610, YM2608, Y8950 [Jarek Burczynski]
Inspired by Frits Hilderink (NLMSX emulator author) I attempted to:
- improve support of the ymdeltat module for the status registers (YM261
0,YM2608,Y8950),
- implement x1bit/x8bit DRAM usage for the ADPCM samples,
- implement memory read/write via deltat (Y8950 and YM2608)
- ADPCM synthesis in 'slave' mode (CPU controlled, instead of memory bas
ed).
I made some tests but the changes are quite big so please test them befo
re including. I'm sure the
Y8950 will be tested by NLMSX authors too.

512 bytes (a non-IDE harddisk in MESS for one of the TI systems uses
this). src/machine/idectrl.c has been modified to take this into
account; it requires that HD images be 512 bytes. The new code is fully
backwards compatible with old CHDs that do not have a sector size within
them.

A number of Changes to the Timer System [Aaron Giles]
All the CPU scheduling has moved into cpuexec.c and been taken out of
timer.c. A number of bugs relating to time tracking for suspended CPUs h
ave
been fixed.
A side effect of all this is a change in the behavior of the CPU schedul
ing.
For the most part, games are fine with this. However, there were a few
exceptions:
* taitosj.c: timing of the MCU communication broke
* arkanoid.c: timing of the MCU communication broke
* harddriv.c: stunrun timing glitches, racedriv/steeltal/hdrivair broken
(There may be more, but I haven't found them yet.)
The first two problems have been fixed, as has racedriv, but steeltal,
hdrivair, and stunrun still have issues.
Oh, one other useful function I added is this:
cpu_boost_interleave(double timeslice_duration, double boost_duration
);
You call this if you need to temporarily crank up the interleave for a s
hort
period of time in order to get CPU synchronization working. I used this
in
arkanoid and taitosj to get the MCU communications working. For example,
you
could say:
cpu_boost_interleave(TIME_IN_USEC(1), TIME_IN_USEC(100));
which would interleave the CPUs on 1 usec boundaries for the next 100 us
ecs.
Even more useful is this:
cpu_boost_interleave(0, TIME_IN_USEC(10));
A very small value (0) for the first parameter means "use perfect
synchronization", which should guarantee cycle-accurate synchronization
for
the specified duration. Note that this is *really* slow, so you don't wa
nt
to be doing it too much!
Let us know ASAP if anything else is broken as a result of this update

0.69
Mainly a bugfix release for problems discovered with new features in 0.68,
it also further clears the backlog. Put together by David Haywood,
If you submit changes please make sure they're up to date with the latest
source code, if not it means more work for us in sorting them out.
Several people have asked about the SHA1Merger program for updating their
own drivers, if you need this it should be on www.mame.net within a few
hours of this release.
Note, we are aware of some problems with the Direct 3D core which cause
some games to function incorrectly (Rolling Thunder title screen, Hard
Drivin' Dashboard, Puyo Puyo title screen raster etc.) if you have problems
with games when using -d3d try them without before reporting a bug. (although
please do report games broken with -d3d if you find them but make sure to
specify the problem is with -d3d)
The cause of this problem seems to lie somewhere in
result = IDirect3D7_CreateDevice(d3d7, &IID_IDirect3DHALDevice, back_surface, &d
3d_device7);
however we don't know how to fix this nor why it happens, could the real problem
be elsewhere?

Improvements and Bug Fixes to the Direct 3D Blitting [Leon van Rooij]
-effect same as 0.68 and earlier, no effect on d3d module
-zoom or -z (default is 2) select zoom level, works for the ddraw code a
s well
find the smallest display mode that will fit an n times zoomed game imag
e
(only used when no display mode is explicitly forced,
the d3d code takes the aspect ratio into account, ddraw behaviour is
unchanged)
-cleanstretch or -cs only strecth to integer ratios, works for the ddraw
code as well
-d3dfilter or -d3dflt select filtering algorithm
0 is none, 1 bi-linear, 2 flat bi-cubic, 3 gaussian bicubic, 4 anisotrop
ic
-d3deffect behaves exactly the same as -effect, but only affects the d3d
module
You can use all -effect parameters, so none, scan25, scan50, scan75,
rgb16, rgb6, rgb4, rgb3, and sharp work, they are identical at 2x zoom
scan75v and rgb4v also work, and are identical to scan75 adn rgb4
(as the d3d effects are automatically rotated already)
Additionally, all effects presets and auto work
none affects only the presets now.
The presets are renamed, in addition to the -effect presets, they are no
w:
rgbminmask,
dotmedmask,
rgbmedmask,
rgbmicro
rgbtiny
aperturegrille,
dotmedbright,
rgbmaxbright
-d3dscan scanline intensity, 100 is off
-d3dfeedback feedback intensity, 0 is off
-d3dsaturate oversaturation intensity, 0 is off
-d3dprescale AKA sharp.
-d3dcustom custom preset, as before
(anyone who wants to customise presets can, everybody else should ignore
it)
-d3dexpert Normal users should not use this one, basically if you can't
read the
source to figure out what it does, you have no business using it <g>
Behaves as -effect did in the previous updates, plus some new stuff;
disable disables all effects,
prescale lets you control prescale explicitly,
pixelcounter changes the scanline texture
(use mame whatever -z 4 -d3d -cs -flt 0 -d3dexpert pixelcounter),
norotate disables rotating effects
It has it's own ini section and it handles priorities itself to ensure
correct behaviour. For custom presets, patterns are no longer loaded fro
m
the effects directory, the name should just include the path.
There are warning messages when you do e.g. -nod3d -d3dscan50, or -d3d
-effect sharp (although the latter will work as it has up until 0.68). I
t
tests all hardware capabilities it should (as far as I'm aware, at least
).
It won't chop textures in 256x256 blocks for old Voodoo cards.
-texture_management is now enabled by default as leaving it off seems to
have worse consequences for more people than having it on. I haven't add
ed
a workaround for cards that can't render to textures yet, other than tha
t,
any possible typos, etc. or any suggestions people may have, it should b
e
good for 0.69.
Apparently some videocards don't like the DX7 pageflip in combination wi
th
a triple buffer. (behaviour when triple buffering is unchanged from 0.67
,
that goes for the d3d code as well as the ddraw code).

Added -bios option [Paul Priest]
Adds the system option "bios". An integer that is valid where: 0 <= n < 15
Rom loading is now modified so that if any of the 4 bits in
ROM_BIOSFLAGSMASK of the rom flags are set, it will only be loaded if
the value+1 == options.bios
NeoGeo has been modified to take advantage of this as follows:
0 - "sp-s2.sp1" - Europe, 1 Slot (also been seen on a 4 slot) (defaul
t)
1 - "sp-s.sp1" - Europe, 4 Slot
2 - "usa_2slt.bin" - US, 2 Slot
3 - "sp-e.sp1" - US, 6 Slot (V5?)
4 - "asia-s3.sp1" - Asia S3 Ver 6
5 - "vs-bios.rom" - Japan, Ver 6 VS Bios
6 - "sp-j2.rom" - Japan, Older
Note that using a value >6 and <15 will result in NO bios rom being
loaded (And a red screen in NeoGeo's case).

Discrete Sound update for several games [Derrick Renaud]
- Atari Baseball - added video invert (triples/home runs).
- Avalanche - changed to discrete sounds adding missing top rocks sound
(Aud0 trigger). (and yes the game is supposed to sound horrible)
- Dominos - added 60Hz ac signal (but it does not seem to affect anythin
g).
- Drag Race - added discrete sounds.
- Night Driver - added discrete sounds and video invert during crash.
Motor/skid sounds are not 100% correct.
- Sprint 2 - switched player controls so they lined up under the proper
score color.
- Orbit - added discrete sounds.
- [but] fixed the 'no stereo' bug in src\sound\discrete.c
- I also fixed a minor bug in src\sound\discrete.h causing
DISCRETE_LOGIC_INVERT not to work.
- And did minor code cleanup to Basketball.
- Removed GAME_IMPERFECT_SOUND flag from Circus. If correct samples are
used then it is ok, like all sample games. (New accurate samples have b

Basic Direct3D blitting support [Leon van Rooij]
You need DirectX7 headers and libs to compile it, I'm using the set from
http:\\caesar.logiqx.com\html\tools\compilers\mingw.shtml which has the
original MS headers (the same set is used for Allegro and FB Alpha) and
I've made a minor update to the ddraw code so that it compiles with this
set of headers (VC++ should still be fine as well).
The code manually imports the DirectDrawCreateEx() function so MAME
compiled with d3d support will (or rather should, I've not actually tested
that yet) still run on PC's with older versions of DirectX. It should work
with pretty much any 3D hardware (except perhaps older Voodoo-based cards),
and the speed should be similar to the DirectDraw blit (a bit faster for
some older cards).
-direct3d or -d3d: use Direct3D (default is off, overrides -dd);
-filter or -flt: use bi-linear filtering (default is on);
-texture_management: use DirectX texture management (default is off, but
some 3D cards need this (however, there's a small-ish speed-penalty)).

An interim release with many things submitted in the past two months not
included yet.

-------------------------------------
- Subroc-3D, Turbo and Buck Rogers use the artwork to show the LED counters.
[Stefan Jokish]
- Fixed colors in Dynamic Ski. [Stefan Jokish]

----------------------------------
- Samples support in Subroc-3D [Dave France]
- Fixed noie frequency in the Exidy games. [Jim Hernandez]
- Preliminary Namco NA sound support. [Phil Stroffolino]

----------------------
- Partially simulated the protection in Birdie Try [Angelo Salese]
- Improved decryption in Quiz F1 1-2 Finish, it's still incomplete though.
[Angelo Salese]
- Fixed ball position recognition in Golfing Greats. [Olivier Galibert]

----------------------------
- New options -nodisclaimer and -nogameinfo to disable startup screens.
Warnings about incorrect emulation are not disabled. [Aaron Giles]
- Replaced RDTSC timing with QueryPerformanceCounter. This should fix problems
on SpeedStep notebooks. It seems, however, that it causes even worse problems
on other machines. Therefore, the old behaviour can be forced with the new
-rdtsc option. [smf]
Source:
-------
- Now compiled with MinGW 2.0/GCC 3.2. There might be bugs caused by the new
compiler, let us know.
- All new, much better, YM2413 emulation. [Jarek Burczynski]
- Drum support in YM2608 emulation (check e.g. Tail 2 Nose). [Jarek Burczynski]
- Moved most of the file I/O out of the OS depndant code and into the core.
Added two new types, mame_file and osd_file, which enforce better type
checking throughout the system (and prevents confusing the two).
Instead of calling osd_fopen, osd_fread, osd_fwrite, etc., you now call
mame_fopen, mame_fread, mame_fwrite, etc. The osd_* calls are reserved
to the core.
All the ZIP handling is done in the mame_file functions, so it will be
inherited by all ports.
[Aaron Giles]
- [Win32] The diff, snap, cfg, nvram, etc. directories are created
automatically if they don't exist the first time MAME tries to create a file
there. [Aaron Giles]
- MIPS III/IV CPU cores. [Aaron Giles]
- ADSP-2115 CPU support. [Aaron Giles]
- TMS32025 CPU core. [Quench]
- Fixed YMF278B emulation. [R.Belmont]

Source:
-------
- Important for porters: major redesign of the OS interface for display update.
- VIDEO_SUPPORTS_DIRTY flag removed
- osd_mark_dirty() removed
- osd_create_display() now takes an extra parameter rgb_components
- osd_set_visible_area() removed
- osd_allocate_colors() removed
- osd_modify_pen() removed
- osd_update_video_and_audio() now takes a mame_display pointer
- osd_debugger_focus() removed
- osd_set/get_gamma() removed
- osd_set/get_brightness() removed
[Aaron Giles]
- Completely redesigned the artwork handling. Any game can now use artwork,
with no specific support in the driver. Configuration is done with external
.art files. [Aaron Giles]
-[no]artcrop -- crops artwork to the game screen area only
-[no]backdrop -- enables/disables backdrop art
-[no]overlay -- enables/disables overlay art
-[no]bezel -- enables/disables bezel art
- The Windows version now rotates the screen at blit time instead of requiring
the core to do so. Since the new code is usually faster than the old one, and
it allows for great simplifications in the core, rotation at blit time will
probably be a requirement in next release. Porters are advised to begin
implementing it now. [Aaron Giles]
- New YM-2413 emulator. [Fabio R. Schmidlin, Charles Mac Donald]

- Fixed (?) collision detection in Thunder Cross. [Eddie Edwards]

[Tatsuyuki Satoj]

----------------------------
- [windows] New blitting effect "-effect sharp". This gives a sharper image
than the default. [John IV]
Source:
-------
- New macros have been added to declare common callback functions and enforce
naming conventions. All drivers have been converted to the new macros:
void init_drivername() -> DRIVER_INIT( name )
int generate_int() -> INTERRUPT_GEN( func )
void name_init_machine() -> MACHINE_INIT( name )
void nvram_handler() -> NVRAM_HANDLER( name )
void name_vh_convert_color_prom() -> PALETTE_INIT( name )
int name_vh_start() -> VIDEO_START( name )
void name_vh_stop() -> VIDEO_STOP( name )
void name_vh_eof() -> VIDEO_EOF( name )
void name_vh_screenrefresh() -> VIDEO_UPDATE( name )
- Major change to the way machine drivers are set up. A series of macros is
now available (defined in driver.h) to "build up" a machine driver. The
ordering of items in the machine driver is arbitrary, apart from CPU-specific
data, which is tied to the most-recently referenced CPU. With this new format,
machine drivers can now be built by modifying another machine driver,
providing a primitive inheritance mechanism. See any driver for an example
of the new format. See mcr.c for a more complex example of inheritance.
- New functions auto_bitmap_alloc() and auto_bitmap_alloc_depth() are now
available to create automatically managed bitmaps. Combined with auto_malloc()
,
there is no need for a video_stop function in most cases. All existing
drivers have been modified to take advantage of these features.
- The old interrupt system has now been made officially obsolete. This means
that the function cpu_cause_interrupt() is no longer available; you must use
cpu_set_irq_line() or cpu_set_irq_line_and_vector() instead. It also means
that a number of old/conflicting constants have been removed. In addition,
interrupt generation callbacks for CPUs no longer return an IRQ line or
vector. Instead, the interrupt callback must actively cause the interrupt
via cpu_set_irq_line(). All existing drivers have been updated to these
changes.
- New interrupt callback functions: nmi_line_pulse(), nmi_line_assert(),
irqn_line_hold(), irqn_line_pulse(), irqn_line_assert(). These functions
replace the old interrupt() and nmi_interrupt() callbacks and can be used
directly as interrupt callbacks.
- The function tilemap_set_clip() has been removed. In its place, there is a
new 'cliprect' parameter to tilemap_draw(). All existing drivers have been
updated to support this change.
- In preparation for partial updating support, the parameters to video_update
have changed. A new parameter 'cliprect' has been added, which should be
honored. In the future, the parameter will contain the subset of the screen
to render; for now, it just contains Machine->visible_area. In addition,
the 'full_refresh' parameter is gone; update functions must always redraw
the requested portion of the bitmap. Some drivers have been updated to fully
support the cliprect; others still need to be updated.
- Two new functions have been added to the timer system. timer_create() creates
a new "permanent" timer, and timer_adjust() adjusts the scheduling of that
timer. This is now the only way to dynamically manipulate a timer. The old
functions timer_set() and timer_pulse() are still around, but they no longer
return a handle to the timer they create. Timers created with timer_create()
should be created at initialization time, not dynamically. Timers also now
participate in the automatic resource tracking, so there is no need to
explicitly dispose of them. All existing drivers have been updated with the
necessary changes.
- Basic generic NVRAM handlers have been added. For a number of games, it is
sufficient to point the global variables 'generic_nvram' and
'generic_nvram_size' to the location and size of the NVRAM area. In the
machine driver, you can now specify 'generic_0fill' or 'generic_1fill' to
request a generic NVRAM handler. The 0fill and 1fill refer to how the memory
is initialized in the absence of an .nv file.
- The following old functions and macros have now been fully deprecated:
cpu_get_pc() -> activecpu_get_pc()
cpu_get_sp() -> activecpu_get_sp()
cpu_getpreviouspc() -> activecpu_get_previouspc()
cpu_get_reg() -> activecpu_get_reg()
cpu_set_reg() -> activecpu_set_reg()
cpu_set_op_base() -> activecpu_set_op_base()
cpu_get_pc_byte() -> activecpu_get_pc_byte()
READ_WORD -> (no equivalent)
WRITE_WORD -> (no equivalent)
- New function force_partial_update(), call this to force a partial update to
occur up to and including the specified scanline. [Aaron Giles]
