  • Miso Kim updated the spc1000 driver: added the centronics printer port.
  • O. Galibert updated taitoair.c: Fix the background gradient.
  • Angelo Salese updated taitoair.c: Various fixes, promoted Top Landing to working:
    • Added crude sprite DMA pause feature: resuming causes sprites to be drawn above other layers;
    • Very preliminary Framebuffer DMA hook-up, mostly used for Top Landing to show Course Select on screen;
    • Fixed analog inputs;
    • Fixed color select for 3d;
    • Fixed tilemap priority.
  • Felipe Sanches provided the dump of Unitron AP II: New Brazilian Apple 2 clone.
  • SailorSat provided a M1COMM update and the S32COMM initial commit.
  • Felipe Sanches provided the dump of Polymax Maxxi: New brazilian Apple2 clone.
  • Alex Jackson updated validity.c: add basic signed integer arithmetic tests to core validation
  • Peter Ferrie updated idehd.c: decrease IDE read fill-time to avoids timeouts.
  • Couriersud improved kidniki sound quality while maintaining speed by adding more frontiers. Added LOGIC_INPUT to netlist which allows to specify a logic family, i.e. output characterics. Used this for improved AY8910 port modeling.
  • Hans Ostermeyer updated the m68k core: fix '020 cache emulation corner case.
  • Hans Ostermeyer updated the 3c505: move option ROM to the card to reflect real h/w.
  • Brizzo, theboy181 and Zoinkity redumped bad rom from Mayjinsen 3 (Aleck64), internal checksum now matches ROM dump.
  • Curt Coder updated pet_flop.xml: Added alternate Commodore SFD-1001 Test/Demo diskette.
  • Couriersud made netlist compile with:
    • std=c++98 -Wall -Wpedantic -Wextra -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros
    • std=c++11 -Wall -Wpedantic -Wextra
  • Brizzo and Lord Nightmare updated arkanoid.c: Add rom numbering list, add more info and more correct rom labels for first version arkanoid (US, Romstar License) board from pcb pics.
  • Couriersud added macro object registration and dynamic includes to netlist. This allows the creation of macro libraries going forward. Any IC which can be described by a truthtable and a package wrapper can now be entirely described in netlist syntax.
  • Ville Linde updated firebeat: Completely rewrote the graphics chip emulation.
  • Couriersud identified size_t usage in printf by enclosing the argument in SIZET_PRINTF(). This is typesafe, can be identified and allows to use proper 64bit computing with compilers up to it.
  • NewRisingSun fixed SAA1099 driver to actually use clock (nw); corrected Game-Blaster/SB1.0 clock to 7.159mhz.
  • Couriersud added MM5837 Noise Generator used by Congo Bongo.

  • Curt Coder updated winfile.c: Stop crashing after saving to a disk image loaded from a software list.
  • Curt Coder updated the g64_dsk format: Respect the number of tracks specified in the image header.
  • Curt Coder updated c128_flop.xml: Added Paperback Writer 128, Term Paper Writer, The Great War, and Your Personal Financial Planner 128 disk images.
  • Couriersud documented progress on congo bongo. Gorilla sound now works. Performance up from 30% to 170%. Use ./nltool -c run -f nl_examples/congoBongo.c -t 2 to test. Minor enhancements and bugfixes.
  • O. Galibert updated the m68k core: fix unaligned pc-relative accesses.
  • O. Galibert updated scfinals: Add correct default eeproms.
  • byuu added a second rom label variant to NSS Super Mario World IC1.
  • Carl updated the peoplepc driver: split from pc.c and make it work.
  • rfka01 updated the peoplepc driver: new roms.
  • system11 verified protection data on gaialast.
  • Couriersud created macro libraries for CD4XXX and 74XX chip families. Going forward, these will contain all devices which can be described using truthtables and DIPPINS.
  • system11 provided correct PROMs for 'mayac' set, fixes colours.
  • Brian Troha updated thedealr.c: Figured out Coinage, Max Bet, Payout, Double up, Jacks or Better and Fever Mode dipswitches.
