System Driver Changes:

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

-gbcolor: fixed sprite regression. [Alegend45]

 

-kc: Added emulation of GIDE interface. [sandro Ronco]

 

-Apple2: Preliminary infrastructure for emulating Apple IIe auxiliary

slot cards [R. Belmont]

 

-x68k: Added clone X68000 Super (with its own internal SCSI ROM dump).

Added internal SCSI ROM dump for the XVI. [Anna Wu, Barry Rodewald]

 

-apple2: Added "The Mill" 6809 card. BASIC demo program works; OS9

and Excel Flex appear to need undumped additional ROMs. [R. Belmont]

 

-pc: Corrected SN76496 clocks to /4 of sysclock instead of /5, fixes

pitch to match video [MooglyGuy, Kef Schecter]

 

-tvc: added cartridge support. [sandro Ronco]

 

-c64: Added preliminary support for the IDE64 v4.1 cartridge.

Load/save from BASIC works, but there is graphics corruption in the

menu, and USB/CF is not supported yet. [Curt Coder]

 

-vectrex: support 64k bankswitched carts and carts with SRAM

[mkasick, kbare]

 

-IBM PC drivers: Implemented the PC keyboard connector as a slot

device. In the future this will allow the user to select which

keybaord to use with an emulated PC. Converted the Keytronic PC3270

keyboard implementation to C++ as an example pc keyboard.

[Wilbert Pol]

 

-osborne1: Added IEEE-488 bus. [Curt Coder]

 

-PC Drivers: Updated remaining PC/XT and AT drivers to use the

keyboard slot implementation. Removed legacy device implementation for

the Keytronic keyboard. Removed an unneeded include from

drivers/amstr_pc.c. [Wilbert Pol]

 

-DEC Rainbow: fleshed out the Z80 side including partial WD1793 hookup

and correct shared RAM handling, but system doesn't get any further

yet. [R. Belmont]

 

-DEC Rainbow: initial Z80/8088 comms work, ends with Error 10 now instead

of 18 [R. Belmont]

 

-DEC Rainbow: Hooked up VBL and Z80-&--#62;8088 IRQs. Still doesn't boot,

but closer than ever. [R. Belmont]

 

-DEC Rainbow: 82/83 to the diagnostic port is meant to reboot the Z80.

This passes the "memory arbitration test". [R. Belmont]

 

-DEC Rainbow: Improved Z80 control, fixed weird garbage on screen and

eliminated "Z80 response" system error. [R. Belmont]

 

-DEC Rainbow: Hooked up keyboard i8251, but our 8251 core needs

interrupts. [R. Belmont]

 

 

 

Software Lists:

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

-snes.xml: verified more carts [MESSfan]

-pico.xml: new dumps added [Team Europe]

-apple1.xml: added a few more tapes [Anon01]

-tvc: added cartridges softlist. [sandro Ronco]

-snes.xml: finished documenting unreleased titles, very special thanks

to Evan of snes central who made this a piece of cake [MESSfan]

 

Source Changes:

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

-ap2_dsk: added some missing defines and comments and a way to select

whether to use lenient (if the address mark contents are sane

regardless of whether the checksum byte was good or not) or normal

(only if checksum was valid) usage of the address marks. Also switched

the default output sector order from prodos order to dos3.3 order,

which is slightly more useful. Added a define to switch between the

three possible sector orderings: prodos, dos3.3, and logical.

[Lord Nightmare]

 

-dfi_dsk.c: fixed a nasty bug when reading df bytes with 0x80 set

throwing the timing way off; this makes most disk images decode a

whole heck of a lot better. ap2_dsk.c: fixed a nasty

array-out-of-bounds access problem if an address mark with an insane

sector value in it is read. [Lord Nightmare, Phil Pemberton]

 

-Fixed a logic bug in the dfi header check which surprisingly doesn't

come up at all on GCC (compiler bug?) but does happen on clang. Also

disabled some accidentally enabled debug code, and handle the case of

no index transitions at all properly. [Lord Nightmare, Balrog]

 

-Fix bug found by Clang (behavior *appears* correct but can't verify)

[balrog, R. Belmont]

 

-3c505 improvements. Netbooting a MESS Apollo instance off a second

MESS Apollo instance is now possible, and Domain/OS 10.4 works.

[Hans Ostermeyer]

 

-Various Clang warning cleanups (and a few actual bugfixes) [balrog]

 

-i386: Big pmode update. OS/2 2.1 more or less runs now. [Carl]

 

-ap2_dsk.c: Preliminary, working RWTS18 decoding support; Decodes disks

and shows ascii text; not sure if sectors are in the correct order

yet. [Lord Nightmare, Balrog, Roland Gustafsson]
