    • Marked color proms as undumped.
  • Aaron Giles updated the MIPS3 DRC core: Fixed case where branch delay slot straddles a page boundary and the page check confirms that the block is paged in.
  • Couriersud made makedep ignore "-include" which is used by sdlmame to include sdlprefix.h before all other includes.
  • Couriersud removed "makedep" stuff from sdl.mak now that the core supports it. Also split sdl-config output between INCPATH and CCOMFLAGS for linux targets. makedepend now works.

  • couriersud updated the discrete subsystem:
    • All list handling now based on dynamic_array_t (discrete.h).
    • More code rewrite to get rid of fixed allocations.
    • Performance about the same as 0.140.
  • Alex Jackson added a mostly complete NEC V25/V35 CPU core, added working sound to Batsugun and hooked up proper V35-controlled interrupts in Cosmic Cop / Gallop and Kengo.
  • Fabio Priuli updated romload.c: implemented handling of parent-clone CHDs in software lists.
  • AGEMAME updated bfm_sc2.c: Removed old-style NVRAM handlers in preparation for mechanical game support.
  • AGEMAME provided MPU4 Changes:
    • Added fix for lamp 'open circuit' errors which in turn make Connect 4 work better.
    • Fixed layout typo that caused the wrong piece to be displayed in Connect 4.
    • Documented the DUART and PTM better in MPU4 to allow for sampled sound changes later.
    • Changed 'serial_card_connected_ to link 7a, as it is the jumper on the ROM card that changes the IRQ priority, not the serial interface itself.
  • dox and O. Galibert updated raiden2: Command 0205 changes data at +1c too.
  • Aaron Giles redid most of the DRC/backend support as C++. Yes, it is intentional that the x86/x64 backends compile everywhere. Backends are now derived from drcbe_interface and implement several required overrides. x86emit.h now uses namespaces so that the x86/x64 emitters can co-exist. New file uml.h/uml.c actually describes the UML language, separating out several concepts from drcuml.c.
  • hap cleaned up clocks of mid to late 80s Nichibutsu non-Mahjong games. Though not completely accurate yet, this should improve music speed and DAC audio pitch a bit.
  • Fabio Priuli updated romload.c: made -bios option case insensitive.
  • Qwi Jibo updated starfire.c: Improved color emulation and added driver data.
  • Alex Jackson updated the toaplan2 driver:

  • Aaron Giles simplified UML parameters, as follows:
    • Immediates can be passed raw, no IMM() wrapper required (and it's gone now).
    • Fixed integer registers now use constants I0,I1,I2,etc instead of IREG(0),...
    • Same for float registers F0,F1,F2,etc instead of FREG(0).
    • Dynamic integer/float regs use inline functions ireg(),freg().
    • MEM macro is now a lower-case inline function mem().
  • Angelo Salese fixed a trivial boot vector program init bug in Lethal Thunder / Thunder Blaster.
  • Angelo Salese added an opcode in Mystic Riders decryption table, makes BGMs to work in mysticrib.
  • Angelo Salese added sound reset line for Irem M92 HW, and safely removed GAME_IMPEFECT_SOUND flag to Perfect Soldiers.
  • Couriersud fixed a bug in makedep which caused includes on the first line of the file like in skyraid.h to be ignored.
  • Alex Jackson provided toaplan2 driver improvements:
    • Figured out which bit controls V25 RESET in each game by comparing the 68000 code.
    • Added a comment about fixeight's I/O map, which we'll have to determine once we start decrypting it.
    • Put #ifndef USE_ENCRYPTED_V25S around some simulation crap that was hiding in fixeight's DRIVER_INIT.

    • Former modules are now classes being derived from discrete_base_node.
    • Moved all context variables to be private class members.
    • For "standard nodes", DISCRETE_CLASS_STEP_RESET provides a simple way to implement a node.
    • All information around a node (additional info struct, constants and input mappings may be defined on a class level centralizing all information. An example is dss_inverter_osc.
    • Significantly simplified the task handling.
    • Fixed a bug which would not buffer secondary outputs.
    • All lists in sound/disc_* are now based on dynamic_array_t (discrete.h)
    • Changed all drivers to reflect the changes.
    • Custom modules are now just another node class.
    • No performance hit observed due to these changes.
  • Roberto Fresca provided improvements to goldnpkr.c:
    • Lots of changes to get working the Video Klein games.
    • Renamed witchcde to witchjol --> Jolly Witch (Export, 6T/12T ver 1.57D).
    • Added Wild Witch (Export, 6T/12T ver 1.74A).
    • New video hardware and machine driver for Video Klein's extended tiles games.
    • Added Dallas DS1210 + battery backed RAM support to the Video Klein CPU boxed games.

  • Alex Jackson updated the toaplan2 driver:
    • Found a few more fixeight opcodes, by matching code in the interrupt routines with batsugun.
    • Corrected fixeight V25 address map (the YM2151 and OKI6295 are at a different location than the other games).
    • Preliminary implementation of V25/V35 port output.
  • Couriersud optimized RC_INTEGRATE and TRANSFORM. Nice improvement.
  • Couriersud changed all "output* 0 = ..." into "set_output(0, ..)" calls. Rewrote modules using "output* 0" as a latch as well. The purpose is to decouple nodes from the discrete infrastructure implementation.
  • Aaron Giles added a virtual stream update function to the device sound interface. Added a new stream_create that takes fewer parameters and calls the device's stream update. Removed the stream update stub template. Updated BSMT2000 and OKIM6295 to use the new interface for their streams.
  • Curt Coder provided M6801 changes:
    • Implemented port 3 strobed mode.
    • Fixed port writes some more.
  • Couriersud made the discrete subsystem use the sound_device stream_update function.
  • Qwi Jibo updated i8085.c: Fixed inte callback not being called when the IE flag was cleared after the CPU received an interrupt. This fixes interrupts in n8080.c helifire and spacelnc.
  • dox and O. Galibert updated raiden2: Wrote down the rather weird results of a series of tests.
  • Couriersud and Chris Kennedy added "-syncrefresh" option to osd/sdl. This will *limit* the game speed to the video refresh rate and works in -mt mode as well. The option has an effect only if "-waitsync" is specified.
  • Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed bug 01004: chinhero, chinhero2, chinherot: There is a bad sprite on level 7 of the game.

    • Added unimplemented Thumb MOV variant used by GBA Moto GP.
  • Fabio Priuli reorganized megadrive/sms sourcefiles for better sharing between MAME/MESS.
  • R. Belmont, byuu and Dr. Decapitator provided NEC DSP updates:
    • Now supports uPD7725 and uPD96050.
    • Hooked up SNES common code to use uPD96050 for ST-010/011.
    • Removed ST-010 HLE simulation.
  • Miodrag Milanovic made display suggestions in case commands that require game name are called and there were no matching games.
  • Couriersud carved out a discrete_sound_device from discrete_device. This now has all the stream related code. discrete_device thus now contains all the generic code and may be used going forward to implement not sound related use cases.
