  • Angelo Salese updated z80.cpp: Added a debug mechanism for /WAIT pin assertion mechanism (enable with STALLS_ON_WAIT_ASSERT in CPU core), and hooked it up to Night Gal driver as a quick example.
  • AJR made octal flag part of address_space/address_space_config.
  • coolmod added unknown NAOMI development(?) board BOOT ROM.
  • Ryan Holtz provided significant speed improvements to the BGFX renderer.
  • Ryan Holtz added basic JSON-based single-pass shader effect support to BGFX renderer.
  • Vernimark and Vas Crabb updated catnmous: graphical improvements.
    • Redumped Cat and Mouse colour sprite ROM as the correct size.
    • Implement sprite ROM banking.
    • Improve colour palette using resistor values from board photographs.
  • Vas Crabb updated laserbat: fix inadvertently swapped TMS organ chip clocks (fixes music).
  • Vas Crabb made Zaccaria 1B11107 and 1B11142 boards devices and share common parts.
  • R. Belmont updated apple1: Completely rewrote the driver in modern idioms. All functionality should be the same.
  • Lord Nightmare descrambled the ROM on the Xerox NoteTaker, and mapped it in the correct areas to make it start to boot.
  • Lord Nightmare updated the Xerox NoteTaker driver: Corrected CPU Clock speed, and map at least some of RAM.
  • Nigel Barnes updated electron: Added cassette softlist and implemented BREAK key.
  • Lord Nightmare updated the Xerox NoteTaker driver: Corrected RAM amount. Attached the pic8259 interrupt controller, though no interrupts are attached to that yet. Added documentation of i/o writes during the boot process.
  • Pasky and caius updated vigilant.cpp: Added video timing PROM.
  • Michele Fochi provided a videosnaps patch (additional file to write: gamename.inp.timecode). Added new options:
    • noexit_after_playback (default=no).
    • norecord_input (default=no) Added new UI shortcut to save current timecode (default F12) Translated variable names and comments to english language.

  • Roberto Fresca updated Moon Light (Set 2): Fix the program ROM addressing. This fix the corrupt graphics in the double-Up feature.
  • Angelo Salese found out that the NCS8105 ADCX opcode is actually an ADDX, fixes gfx garbage in nightgal.cpp.
  • Lord Nightmare corrected ROM labels and removed endian-swap during descramble for notetaker in favor of loading ROMs the other way round. Add ROM locations.
