------------------------------------ # 0.78 ## General Source Changes Various System 24 Improvements, Fixing Priorities, Clipping issues etc. [Olivier Galibert] src/drivers/system24.c src/vidhrdw/system24.c src/vidhrdw/segaic24.c src/vidhrdw/segaic24.h Improved Lightgun Code / Reload Handling [Bryan McPhail] '-lightgun' now enables the lightgun only - no button remapping is performed. '-reload' (formally '-offscreen_reload') is now needed for 2nd button presses to map to offscreen shots. '-dual' (formally '-dual_lightgun') adds support for the Actlabs Dual Lightgun setup, it may be used with and without '-reload' and it requires '-lightgun'. This mode attempts to automatically remap the player 1 & 2 buttons to suit the lightgun setup. If it doesn't work you probably need to delete the .cfg file for that game. src/input.h src/windows/input.c src/windows/input.h src/windows/window.c Removed '(hack?) from descriptions of newly added raizing games, stickers on the boards seem to indicate they are genuine Korean release versions.

Also removed uistring_shutdown(), which is made unnecessary by auto_strdup() src/osdepend.h src/cpu/z80/z80.c src/windows/config.c - Adds osd_die() function; a friendlier way to die in some unexpected fatal way than exit(-1) or [shudder] raise(SIGABRT) src/harddisk.h src/chd.h - Adds #ifndef _H protection src/windows/config.c - Adds minor code within #ifdef MESS TMS9900 inline asm update [Brad Oliver] The syntax for the inline ppc assembly in the tms9900 core has changed slightly Hooked up Backgrounds in Miss Bubble 2 [Angelo Salese] SCSP updates [Elsemi, R.Belmont] Path for Solaris [Lawrence Gold] Attached is a patch for Solaris that replaces uses of sqrtf and floorf, which aren't available on that platform, with their double-precision counterparts.

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 account 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 the -debug flag Misc Fixes [Nathan Woods] src/usrintrf.c: - Adds a handful of comments to uifontdata[] - Changes character 14 to a solid circle; previously this character was blank and unused - Miscellaneous changes within #ifdef MESS Various Atari Improvements * CAGE works * motion object checksums work for growth games * sprite/playfield priorities work for growth games * no more 6502 speedups drivers/atarig1.c: * added support for the MO command register -- MO checksums now work * added missing SHA1 values and marked some ROMs as NO_DUMP * removed 6502 speedups drivers/atarig42.c: vidhrdw/atarig42.c: * added support for the MO command register -- MO checksums now work * added SLOOP emulation for Guardians of the Hood, which is fully playable * added missing SHA1 values * removed 6502 speedups * documented color MUXing * removed old orientation code * added MO/playfield priorities drivers/atarigt.c: vidhrdw/atarigt.c: * added support for the MO command register -- MO checksums now work * hooked up CAGE audio * added missing SHA1 values * documented the overly complicated color MUXing * added MO/playfield priorities drivers/atarigx2.c: * added support for the MO command register -- MO checksums now work * added missing SHA1 values * added another Road Riot's Revenge variant * some input port tweaks * removed 6502 speedups machine/asic65.c: * improved logic for Road Riot 4WD -- almost playable * added support for Guardians of the Hood machine/atarigen.c: * fixed bad handling of EEPROM data in 32-bit mode sndhrdw/cage.c: * fixed frequency computation -- it now works ok!

Generally - even more flags work correctly now. These changes are necessary for the msx sound emulation (Y8950) and were tested in nlmsx emulator by Frits Hilderink. [Jarek Burczynski] Look at the top of each *.c file for a detailed list of changes. src/sound/fm.c src/sound/fm.h src/sound/fmopl.c src/sound/fmopl.h src/sound/ymdeltat.c src/sound/ymdeltat.h Improved Sound in Cabal / Dead Angle by adding ADPCM sounds [R.Belmont, Jarek Burczynski] src/drivers/cabal.c src/drivers/deadang.c src/sndhrdw/seibu.c src/sndhrdw/seibu.h Added OKI6295 sounds in Grand Cross [R.Belmont] src/drivers/gcpinbal.c Asterock Dipswitches [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] src/drivers/asteroid.c Fixed Aspect Ratio calculationbug on some rotated games (galspnbl for example) [S�bastien Volpe] src/common.c src/windows/wind3d.c src/windows/winddraw.c src/windows/window.c Added Sample SUpport rto Armor Attack and Sundance [Tim Cottrill] src/drivers/cinemat.c src/sndhrdw/sinemat.c src/includes/cinemat.h Decoded BG graphics in Thunder Ceptor II but BG's still aren't hooked up yet, improved existing graphics a bit [David Haywood, BUT] src/drivers/tceptor.c src/vidhrdw/tceptor.c Fixed Dragon Unit Dipswitches [I�igo Luja] src/drivers/seta.c Some twin16.c / tmnt.c cleanups, fg layer converted to tilemaps [Curt Coder] Some input fixes [HowardC] atetris.c neogeo.c +others Fixed Xain'd Sleena hang? [David Haywood] src/drivers/xain.c ------------------------------------------------------------- ## New Games supported or promoted from GAME_NOT_WORKING status: Several ST-V games are probably now playable, however be warned many are very very slow, this is not a bug, sound is still poor or non-existant in most titles, these 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.) [David Haywood, Angelo Salese, Olivier Galibert] 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 still needs a lot of work, I don't expect it to be completed soon due to the incredible complexity of this hardware. Sega Dual Space Attack / Head On Dual board [Stefan Jokisch] src/drivers/vicdual.c ---------------------------------------- ## New Non-Working games / clones supported Quiz Panicuru Fantasy [David Haywood] haven't found any time for this in the last 6 months so included it anyway so it doesn't get lost, if anybody wants to finish it they're welcome src/drivers/quizpani.c # 0.76u1 ## General Source Changes Ported ElSemi's SCSP Core, this gives preliminary sound in the ST-V games, however at the moment most of them play static, Shienryu is mostly correct [R.Belmont] src/sound/scsp.c src/sound/scsp.h src/sound/scsplfo.c src/drivers/stv.c More ST-V Improvements, fixing various graphical issues (Shienryu Sprite Colours) and general other bits and pieces. More games are 'watchable' now, for example Cotton 2, Cotton Boomerang, Puyo Puyo Sun, Columns 97 however they lack controls [David Haywood] src/drivers/stv.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp1.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp2.c Some Atari improvements with the new sets (old speed hacks removed that aren't really needed anymore, both screens being displayed in Cyberball) [Aaron Giles] src/ -various, too many to list Misc Changes [Nathan Woods] src/sndintrf.c: - Removed wave_sh_stop() call from the MESS specific WAVE sound interface (it is extraneous now) src/x86drc.c: src/x86drc.h: - Added a few macros for other miscellaneous X86 opcodes - 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: src/windows/config.c: - Added 'GAMENOUN' and 'GAMESNOUN' macros; defined to be the human readable text for the words 'game' and 'games' respectively (this is so MESS can use the nouns 'system' and 'systems') v60 Improvements (LDTASK, STTASK, ABSF and some missing \n.) [Olivier Galibert] src/cpu/v60/* Added Sound and Improved Background emulation in HeliFire [Jarek Burczynski] src/drivers/8080bw.c src/sndhrdw/8080bw.c src/vidhrdw/8080bw.c Misc Windows OSD updates and D3D fixes [Leon van Rooij] makefile: windows\windows.mak: Added CFLAGSOSDEPEND variable.

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 windows\snprintf.c: Changed a variable name that conflicts with a gcc built-in windows\blit.c: windows\wind3d.c: Fixed a bug that affected stv games when flipping/rotating the image windows\wind3d.c: windows\window.c: windows\window.h: window size/prescale/rgb-auto effect can now change when the image size is changed by the game driver 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. src/sound/segapcm.c Added Proper Inits to term2la1 [Brian Troha] Merged Zaxxon and Congo drivesr [CUrt Coder] Reversed harddisk.c back to 0.73 status ------------------------------------------------------------- ## New Games supported or promoted from GAME_NOT_WORKING status: Baku Baku Animal [David Haywood] still a few gfx glitches and no sound src/drivers/stv.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp1.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp2.c Tekken [smf] Tekken 2 [smf] Soul Edge [smf] (Soul Edge Ver II. doesn't work) Xevious 3D/G (XV31/VER.A) [smf] Prime Goal EX (PG1/VER.A) [smf] none of the above 5 have sound src/drivers/namcos11.c + various PSX support files Super Speed Race [Stefan Jokisch] no sound src/drivers/sspeedr.c src/vidhrdw/sspeedr.c Cosmo [Jarek Burczynski] no sound src/drivers/8080bw.c src/vidhrdw/8080bw.c Thunder Ceptor II [BUT] missing backgrounds src/drivers/tceptor.c src/vidhrdw/tceptor.c New Clones supported or promoted from GAME_NOT_WORKING status: -------------------------------------------------------------- 100 Atari clones [Aaron Giles] * 2 new Road Runner variants * 8 new Road Blasters variants * 2 new Paperboy variants * 5 new 720' variants * 6 new Super Sprint variants * 7 new Championship Sprint variants * 7 new APB variants * 2 new Blasteroids sets * 1 new Cyberball set * 3 new 2-player Cyberball 2072 sets * 1 new Tournament Cyberball 2072 set * 3 new Skull & Crossbones sets * 3 new Toobin' sets * 6 new Vindicators sets * 4 new Xybots sets * 10 new Hard Drivin' versions * 3 new Hard Drivin' Compact versions * 9 new STUN Runner versions * 9 new Race Drivin' versions * 7 new Race Drivin' Compact versions * 2 new Steel Talons versions Superior Soliders (US) (parent of psoldier) [Chris Hardy] src/drivers/m92.c Asterock (Sidam bootleg of asteroid) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] src/drivers/asteroid.c Sky Raiders (bootleg of uniwars) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] src/drivers/galaxian.c # 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. ## General Source Changes 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_GFX instead of NOT_WORKING as it seems ok, just the sprites are black) [David Haywood, Olivier Galibert, sthief, Angelo Salese] src/drivers/stv.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp1.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp2.c src/cpu/sh2/sh2.c Added Insector sound rom loading [Fabrice Frances] src/drivers/gottlieb.c Changed Jumping Cross default dipswitches Fixed invalid dipswitch in Big Event Golf Readded a bit of code that was removed from blockage driver when it was converted to use tilemap (blasto needed it) ------------------------------------------------------------- ## New Games supported or promoted from GAME_NOT_WORKING status: VS.

Fixes Exterminator and the Atari polygon games. Hopefully doesn't break anything in the process. src/cpuexec.c * changed scanline timing to use floor() to get consistent results * fixed bug in time computation if requesting a scanline in the next frame src/cpu/tms34010/tms34010.c * removed 4x executes per loop which screwed up timing * fixed internal interrupt generation to get consistent timing results src/timer.c * now uses the active callback as a base time when adjusting timers outside of a CPU context src/drivers/harddriv.c src/machine/harddriv.c * fixed all the games again, but they are slower now due to more necessary interleaving 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. src/windows/config.c: - Increases the size of the buffer used when logerror() output goes to OutputDebugString() src/windows/config.c: 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 Improved Super Chase sample loading [sedn] src/drivers/superchs.c Replaced instances of "inline", "static inline", and "static __inline" with "INLINE". This fixes some build problems with xmame and makes things more consistent.

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 drivers 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 could 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 Added MCU emulation to Tiger Heli [Tomasz Slanina] Various SegaPCM fixes [Olivier Galibert] Fixed some V60 Floating Point Operations and made core exit on unhandled opcodes, note UltraX doesn't work again [Olivier Galibert] Fixing missing continue graphics on actfancr [Bryan McPhail] Fixed recently introduced tp84 video bug [David Haywood] Fixed Config Saving Bug [BUT] Various Dipswitch Fixes [I�igo Luja] New games supported: -------------------- Touchdown Fever II [Smitdogg] Dorachan [Tomasz Slanina] no sound Jumping Cross [Tomasz Slanina] attract mode seems a bit wrong Demoneye-X [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] gfx problems, no sound Bakuretsu Breaker [David Haywood] sound problems Suzuka 8 Hours [Dang Spot] Moero Pro Yakyuu Homerun [Tomasz Slanina] missing voices Galaxian / Space Invaders Test Roms [Mike O'Malley] worth supporting? ### New Clones supported: Phantomas (clone of spectar) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Donkey Kong 3 (bootleg on DKJr hw) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Driving Force (Galaxian hw) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Food Fight (rev 2 and cocktail) [Aaron Giles] Depthcharge (rev 1) [MASH] Mighty Monkey (original) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] Dynablaster (world) [Brian Troha] Champion Golf (original?)

bad colours no sound src/drivers/pacman.c src/vidhrdw/pengo.c src/includes/pengo.h PuzzLoop (USA) [Brian Troha] src/drivers/suprnova.c ### New TESTDRIVERS: Competition Golf [Angelo Salese] incomplete video emulation src/drivers/compgolf.c (Medal) Yumefuda [Angelo Salese] preliminary, doesn't boot yet src/drivers/yumefuda.c # 0.74 Basically a cleaned up version of .73 now my machine is working again. ## General Source Changes Misc source changes mainly to Improve compatibility with MESS [Nathan Woods] src/driver.h: - Minor changes within #ifdef MESS src/inptport.c: - Minor change to recognize MESS IPT_CONFIG input ports src/legacy.h: - Changed some of the prototypes to use 'mame_file *' instead of 'void *' src/mame.h: - Added APPNAME and APPLONGNAME macros to define the name of the program (MAME/M.A.M.E. vs MESS/M.E.S.S.) src/vidhrdw/jaguar.c: - Adds some MESS specific templated blitters within #ifdef MESS src/vidhrdw/ppu2c03b.c: src/vidhrdw/ppu2c03b.h: src/vidhrdw/playch10.c: src/vidhrdw/vsnes.c: -

Misc changes to support MESS's menu bar (should not affect MAME) - Misc changes to use APPNAME and APPLONGNAME Improved Loading of .72 cfg Files (prevents Mixer settings corruption) [Stefan Jokisch] src/sound/mixer.c Fixed User-Interface bug which was causing problems setting controls for some of the players [Stefan Jokisch] src/usrintrf.c Support for 8 Controllers [Robin Merrill] src/input.h src/windows/input.c src/inptport.c Workaround for a v60 crash causing ultra-x not to run on some systems [Tomasz Slanina] src/cpu/v60/op12.c Support upd7759 Silence Compression [Olivier Galibert] src/sound/upd7759.c SegaPCM cleanups / fixes [Olivier Galibert] src/sound/segapcm.c src/sound/segapcm.h src/sndintrf.c Changed Afterburner Inputs to use z-axis for throttle [Howard Casto] src/drivers/aburner.c Some Improvements to Chequered Flag protection + Sound [Angelo Salese] src/drivers/chqflag.c src/vidhrdw/konamiic.c More ST-V Improvements [Angelo Salese, David Haywood] src/drivers/stv.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp1.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp2.c New games supported: -------------------- Miyasu Nonki no Quiz 18-Kin (Japan) [Takahiro Nogi] src/drivers/welltris.c src/vidhrdw/welltris.c Ojanko Club (Japan) [Takahiro Nogi, Uki] src/drivers/ojankohs.c Quiz & Variety Sukusuku Inufuku (Japan) [Takahiro Nogi] src/drivers/inufuku.c src/vidhrdw/inufuku.c Dancing Eyes (DC1/VER.A) [smf] Kosodate Quiz My Angel 3 (KQT1/VER.A) [smf] src/drivers/namcos11.c + most psx files Super-X [David Haywood] src/drivers/dooyong.c A Few new Megatech sets (mostly SMS based, not yet working) src/drivers/segac2.c ### New Clones supported: Natsuiro Mahjong (Mahjong Summer Story) (Japan) (clone of mjnatsu) [Takahiro Nogi] src/drivers/fromance.c Bang (Japan) [Manuel Abadia] src/drivers/gaelco2.c Hangly Man (set 3) [Manuel Abadia] src/drivers/pacman.c Apocaljpse Now (bootleg of Rescue) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] src/drivers/scobra.c Explorer (bootleg of Scramble) [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] src/drivers/scramble.c todo : check these 3 bootlegs are worth supporting, if not remove them # 0.73 Sorry, this list of changes isn't complete due to hardware problems I'm having. ## General Source Changes Many Improvements to the ST-V emulation, resulting in Hanagumi Columns being playable and other games on the driver starting to show some graphics [Angelo Salese, David Haywood] src/drivers/stv.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp1.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp2.c Continued MegaPlay Improvements (still none fulyl working yet but more of the bios menu tests pass now) [Barry Rodewald] src/drivers/segac2.c Some System GX Improvements, mainly to the not yet working games [R.Belmont] src/drivers/konamigx.c src/vidhrdw/konamigx.c Attempted to Improve Super Dodge Ball MCU Simulation [Acho A. Tang] src/drivers/sdodgeb.c src/vidhrdw/sdodgeb.c Various Changes to keep the code inline with MESS [Nathan Woods] Added 8 Player Support to the Core [Stefan Jokisch] New games supported: -------------------- Hanagumi Taisen Columns - Sakura Wars [Angelo Salese, David Haywood] This the first st-v game to be supported by MAME, please note that due to the complexity of the system emulation is still preliminary and there are still various issues that will need ironing out, there is currently no sound. src/drivers/stv.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp1.c src/vidhrdw/stvvdp2.c Ultra X Weapons [Tomasz Slanina] some gfx offset problems / alignment (sprite handle can move?) src/drivers/ssv.c Twin Eagle 2 [Tomasz Slanina] src/drivers/ssv.c Twin Eagle 2 DOES NOT WORK due to protection involving the directions in which objects travel, and as a side-effect collisions don't work correctly either, if somebody fixes this then itmight be fine apart from a few offset problems. Super Trivia Master [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] wrong colours src/drivers/strvmstr.c Sprint 8 [Stefan Jokisch] src/drivers/sprint8.c src/vidhrdw/sprint8.c New Clones supported: -------------------- Lady Bug (bootleg on Galaxian Hardware) [Mike Coates] input ports incomplete src/drivers/galaxian.c src/includes/galaxian.h src/machine/scramble.c Video Pool (Moon Cresta hardware) (bootleg of Video Hustler) [Mike Coates] dipswitches incomplete src/drivers/galaxian.c # 0.72u2 ## General Source Changes Improved Megaplay a bit, the bios screens now show however the games still don't work [Barry Rodewald] src/drivers/segac2.c src/includes/segac2.h src/vidhrdw/segac2.c Various ST-V improvements, Hanagumi Columns shows a partial title screen (still disabled so you'll have to enable it yourself if you want to see) [Angelo Salese] src/drivers/stv.c Removed DCS Speed-Ups src/sndhrdw/dcs.c 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. src/cpu/m68000/m68k_in.c Fixed Mustache Boy Continue Screen and attempted to improve speed [Tomasz Slanina] src/drivers/mustache.c Misc Konami Fixes [Acho A. Tang] tmnt.c: - qgakumon resetting and screen darkening - tmnt2 load-save states(not good enough yet) - ssriders diagonal jittering(needs testing) konamiic.c: - boundary conditions and kludge removal in K007420 rockrage.c: - rogue sprites kncljoe.c: - bad scrolling, clipping, rogue sprites Couple of Improvements to the Fuuki games (Priority, BG Colours) [Paul Priest] src/drivers/fuukifg2.c src/vidhrdw/fuukifg2.c src/drivers/fuukifg3.c src/vidhrdw/fuukifg3.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: 1st dipswitch of 3rd bank in 1941 [Fabrizio Pedrazzini] src/drivers/cps1.c Tetris Plus 2 (MS32 version) [Sonikos] src/drivers/ms32.c and a few others ...

Tang] src/drivers/sysetm16.c src/vidhrdw/system16.c src/vidhrdw/sys16spr.c 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 Various Changes [Nathan Woods] src/cpu/jaguar/jaguar.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: - Changed around one of the #include paths (due to ProjectBuilder on Mac issues) src/sound/tms5220.c: src/sound/tms5220.h: - Added support for the TMS0285 variant (an old variant of the TMS5220) src/vidhrdw/jagblit.c: src/vidhrdw/jaguar.c: - Added support for the SRCSHADE and DSTA2 command bits to the Jaguar blitter. - Added some miscellaneous logging code - Changed around one of the #include paths (due to ProjectBuilder on Mac issues) 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() src/windows/video.c: - 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. Fixed Remaining Protection problems in TMNT2 and Sunset Riders, Fixed Combat School Trackball sets from Crashing, Fixed Escape Kids Spries, Fixed Sticky Sprites in Detana!

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.

Megatech / Megaplay / NSS are preliminary, since the menu system doesn't yet work 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 into 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 timer updates, sorry.

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. src/timer.c: src/timer.h: - 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. src/vidhrdw/jaguar.c: - 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). src/sound/fmopl.c: Added #if/#endif pair Changed message for Double Clicking on EXE slightly [Leon van Rooij] src/windows/winmain.c New games supported: -------------------- Stadium Cross [Jason Lo] there seem to be some sound problems src/drivers/multi32.c src/drivers/system32.c src/vidhrdw/system32.c R2D Tank [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] src/drivers/r2dtank.c New TESTDRIVERS in source ------------------------- Counter Run (bootleg) encrypted? src/drivers/freekick.c New clones supported -------------------- Some namco ones that were forgotten last time # 0.70u4 ## General Source Changes Tilemap viewer now displays a more logical ordering for "tilemap#1", "tilemap#2", etc. [Phil Stroffolino] Broadened support for palette_offset, and made it work in tilemap viewer [Phil Stroffolino] src/tilemap.c Various Namco Improvements [Phil Stroffolino] - Improved Namco road emulation - Speedup when ROZ layer rapidly switches palettes (Metal Hawk 2nd stage) - Window registers in namconb1 sprite drawing (fixes the "Tank" stage of Point Blank - lots of consolidation/cleanup in vidhdrw/namcos2.c src/drivers/namcoic.c src/includes/namcoic.h src/drivers/namconb1.c src/vidhrdw/namconb1.c src/includes/namconb1.h src/drivers/namcos2.c src/vidhrdw/namcos2.c src/machine/namcos2.c src/includes/namcos2.h src/drivers/namcos21.c src/vidhrdw/namcos21.c src/drivers/namcos22.c src/vidhrdw/namcos22.c src/includes/namcos22.h src/vidhrdw/namcos3d.c src/includes/namcos3d.h Silent Dragon Dipswitch Fixes [Brian A.

If you can't compile this then don't worry, normal releases will still happen, this doesn't change anything as normal release plans are concerned, please don't hassle whoever maintains your favourite port of Mame to add the updates here, not everybody is going to have time to make new binaries on a regular basis. ## General Source Changes Fixed eeprom in Head Panic [Paul Priest] src\drivers\esd16.c Few tweaks/minor optimizations to MIPS3 Dynacrec [Aaron Giles] src\x86drc.c src\x86drc.h src\cpu\mips\mips3drc.c Improved Save-State support for NeoGeo games [Mame32Plus] Changed NeoGeo Resolution to be 320 wide, this is correct, the glitches it causes are verified against a real MVS [David Haywood] Verified and corrected clock speeds etc. for NeoGeo [TheGuru] src\drivers\neogeo.c src\machine\neogeo.c src\vidhrdw\neogeo.c src\includes\neogeo.h Removed analog input definition and encoded it directly from Joystick input in Metal Soldier Isaac II [Jarek Burczynski] src\drivers\msisaac.c IDE Update adding support for a few things needed in the future [Aaron Giles] src\machine\idectrl.c src\machine\idectrl.h TMS32010 BIO fix [Aaron Giles] src\cpu\tms32010\tms32010.h C 68k core is now default, this fixes collisions in Assault [] Fixed bug causing Timings to be broken when using D3D [Leon van Rooij] src\windows\wind3d.c Optional XML output and xml to info converter (see xmlinfo.txt) [Andrea Mazzoleni] use -listxml, converter isn't fully set up yet. src\info.c src\info.h src\windows\fronthlp.c src\xml2info\* 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 have been fixed. A side effect of all this is a change in the behavior of the CPU scheduling. 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 short 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 usecs. 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 want to be doing it too much! Let us know ASAP if anything else is broken as a result of this update src\cpuintrf.c src\cpuintrf.h src\cpuexec.c src\cpuexec.h src\timer.c src\timer.h src\drivers\taitosj.c src\machine\taitosj.c src\machine\arkanoid.c src\drivers\harddriv.c src\machine\harddriv.c src\sndhrdw\harddriv.c New games supported: -------------------- Guts'n [Paul Priest] src\drivers\suprnova.c src\vidhrdw\suprnova.c Dragonball Z [R.Belmont] src\drivers\dbz.c src\vidhrdw\dbz.c src\vidhrdw\konamiic.c src\vidhrdw\konamiic.h Ozon I [Pierpaolo Prazzoli] bad colours due to missing prom src\drivers\galaxian.c New clones supported -------------------- King of Fighters '95 (set 2) [Jarek Burczynski] note, we use the new v1,c1,c2,c3,c4 from this set in the parent too src\drivers\neogeo.c Kyros No Yakata (Japan) [David Haywood] src\drivers\alpha68k.c Ambush (Tecfri) [David Haywood] src\drivers\ambush.c Frisky Tom (set 2) [David Haywood] src\drivers\seicross.c New TESTDRIVERS in source ------------------------- Photo Y2K [ElSemi] unemulated protection Stadium Cross [David Haywood] graphic problems, no controls src\drivers\multi32.c # 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, &d3d_device7); however we don't know how to fix this nor why it happens, could the real problem be elsewhere? ## General Source Changes Fixed a problem with missing 'returns' in the PIC CPU core [Bryan McPhail] src\cpu\pic16c5x\pic16c5x.c Fixed a few MCU simulation problems in bking3 [Angelo Salese] src\drivers\bking2.c Various changes [Nathan Woods] src/cheat.c: - Minor change to the MESS specific code src/datafile.c: - DriverDataCompareFunc() is now declared with CLIB_DECL src/hash.c: - Removed strupr() in favor a manual implementation, because it is non-ANSI src/usrintrf.c: - Minor tweaks within #ifdef MESS code - UI code for discrete sound engine now encapsulated within '#if HAS_DISCRETE' src/ui_text.c: src/ui_text.h: - Changed some #ifdef MESS specific strings src/windows/rc.c: src/windows/rc.h: - Fixed a potential crash that could occur if the last line in an INI file was not terminated with a CRLF - Added osd_rc_write(); which does the reverse as osd_rc_read() (this is only used in the MESS Win32 port) src/fileio.c: src/fileio.h: - New mame_fputs(), mame_vfprintf() and mame_fprintf() functions (used in osd_rc_write()) above src/windows/fileio.c: - Removed some no longer relevant MESS globals - Unicode enabled (i.e. - compiles under #define UNICODE) src/windows/winalloc.c: - Added corresponding _msize implementation (this fixes a benign but very subtle bug when debugging with VC) src/idectrl.c: src/idectrl.h: - Added ide_controller_init_custom() (used by MESS) src/fileio.c: src/hash.c: src/windows/fronthlp.c: - Removed private prototypes of crc32(), in favor of #include src/windows/fronthlp.c: - Minor tweaks within #ifdef MESS src/sha1.h: - Put #ifndef _STDINT_H around typedefs for uint32_t and uint8_t (apparently these are already defined on the Mac) src/windows/winalloc.c: src/windows/winmain.c: - Put CLIB_DECL in front of a few declarations Various Changes [Andrea Mazzoleni] src/info.c - Substitutes in the -listinfo output the strings "nodump" and "baddump" with "flags nodump" and "flags baddump". src/sound/disc_mth.c - Substitutes the _HUGE macro with the standard DBL_MAX value src/cpu/tms9900/9900stat.h src/cpu/tms9900/99xxstat.h - Adds a test for the GNU C compiler to skip some POWERPC inline assembler not compatible with the GNU assembler format. src/x86drc.h - Fixes some macros with arguments not used. Otherwise it doesn't compile with gcc 2.95.3. Auditing Fixes for cases where no good dump is known but a file is found [BUT] src\audit.c 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 as well find the smallest display mode that will fit an n times zoomed game image (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 anisotropic -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 now: 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 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 from 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). It 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 added a workaround for cards that can't render to textures yet, other than that, any possible typos, etc. or any suggestions people may have, it should be good for 0.69.

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)). src\windows\windows.mak src\windows\window.h src\windows\window.c src\windows\windraw.h src\windows\windraw.c src\windows\wind3d.h src\windows\wind3d.c src\windows\video.h src\windows\video.c Various Konami Related Fixes and Improvements [Acho A.

These drivers have improved GRAPHICS: ------------------------------------- - Subroc-3D, Turbo and Buck Rogers use the artwork to show the LED counters. [Stefan Jokish] - Fixed colors in Dynamic Ski. [Stefan Jokish] These drivers have improved SOUND: ---------------------------------- - Samples support in Subroc-3D [Dave France] - Fixed noie frequency in the Exidy games. [Jim Hernandez] - Preliminary Namco NA sound support. [Phil Stroffolino] Other drivers changes: ---------------------- - 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] Changes to the main program: ---------------------------- - 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.

[Shiriru, Bryan McPhail] Changes to the main program: ---------------------------- - Light gun support. [Bryan McPhail] 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.

[Eddie Edwards] - Fixed the VLM5030 emulation (Punch Out, Track & Field, Yie-Ar Kung Fu etc.). [Tatsuyuki Satoj] Changes to the main program: ---------------------------- - [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.
