Source Changes

--------------

Added new 'screen' parameter to the VIDEO_UPDATE callbacks. It is not

currently used but is a placeholder for the future. [Aaron Giles]

 

Replaced direct access to Machine->scrbitmap in the following drivers with

the use of force_partial_update(): m92.c, m107.c, astrocde.c, battlera.c,

snes.c. [Aaron Giles]

 

Rewrote the Z80/Z180 daisy chaining logic to work a little closer to the

hardware. Updated the Z80 CTC and PIO modules to support the new model.

Changed the CTC module to not generate interrupts if there is an outstanding

request on the same timer is currently in service; this allows Journey to

(finally) run with the correct CPU speed. [Aaron Giles]

 

Partial rewrite of the MCR video system. Should still work roughly the same,

just a little different under the covers. This is still very much a work in

progress. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed clipping in nemesis.c. [Fujix]

 

Normalized names in Konami drivers according R. Belmont's wishes. [Mamesick]

 

More PowerPC updates: [Nathan Woods]

- Moved update_counters() to be executed after the DRC epilogue code

    is appended; now behaves more like the non-DRC core

- Fixed some bugs in DRC exeception handling (SRR1 was not being set

    up properly, and not all MSR flags were being cleared)

- Refactored DRC core to call MMU hooks

- ISI exceptions will now be thrown if the MMU hooks report an

    unexecutable address in the DRC core

- Fixed a rounding error in the decrementer

- Added support for decrementer exceptions when the DEC register is

    written to in both cores

- Added support for ISI/DSI exceptions with setjmp()/longjmp() in

    the non-DRC core

 

Significant rewrite of the Legend of Kage driver: [Phil Stroffolino]

- correct/added dipswitches

- converted to use pdrawgfx; affects stage#4

- a priority effect on the title screen has been mapped - this gives the

    foreground layer priority over all sprites, and screenshots now match

    those from arcade flyers.

- the "virtual palette" hack has been removed; it was an optimization from

    back when we used 8 bit color and hardware palettes.

 

Cleaned up the Soungoku Mahjong driver, fixed colors, improved sound and

fixed the hang before the match started. Also I found the output for the

coins used to play the match. It's still missing something to enable /

disable the tilemaps. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Fixed the i386->z80 communication in the Seibu SPI driver. This fixes the

flash rom update and should also fix any remaining hangs/pauses. The flash

rom update should take around 5 minutes. Now all games should have proper

sample data. [Ville Linda, David Haywood]

 

Some progress on the Deco 156 encryption. [David Haywood]

 

 

 

New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status

PK Scramble [David Haywood]

AmeriDarts (set 2) [Aaron Giles]

Well...when 3.70 was the big profiler release, this will be the rebuilder release now Did some rebuilder brainstorming and got rid of some stuff which caused some major slowdowns when rebuilding zipfiles with a lot (e.g. >10000) files.
