Source Changes

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

chdcd: Fix crash when parsing bin/cue [R. Belmont]

Rewrite INS8250 to use diserial, updated Microtouch to modern and made

it serial device, updated connected drivers [Carl]

Checksum the delay slot in single-instruction blocks in the MIPS3 and

RSP DRCs. [Ryan Holtz]

mc146818 - Set period even if timer is disabled, required for windows

nt [Carl]

diserial - added optinal rx and tx timers and callbacks [Carl]

ins8250 - serial rx line high on start and fix for msr register [Carl]

m68k: Add API to install a non-debugger instruction hook. Usage is

strongly NOT recommended except for dire cases. [R. Belmont]

Williams blits with bit 2 set take approximately 2x as long because

they are bus-shared with RAM. Should impact some timing behaviors such

as later levels in Robotron, where approximately 10% of the blits are

done with bit 2 set. Further refinements may be necessary but this

addresses the most significant issue. [sean Riddle, Aaron Giles]

i386: One more to fix cmpsb (dir /s in MS-DOS works now) and remove

unused variables. [Carl]

Improvements to Golden Poker driver [Roberto Fresca]

* Inputs from the scratch.

* Switched manufacturer 'Playman' to PM / Beck Elektronik, since it's

PM and Beck Elektronik/Computer/etc...

* Added technical and game notes.

Added a trivial Y reject to triangle draw commands in the N64 RDP.

[Ryan Holtz]

N64: Various PIF fixes [Ryan Holtz]

info.c: several fixes and additions to listxml output [Fabio Priuli]

* appended to xml info about devices which can be optionally mounted

to slots

* added a description attribute to slotoption to show which devices

can be mounted in each slot

* added to xml info of cpus/inputs/image/slots which are relative to

devices (e.g. CPUs or Dipswitches in the device itself)

* tags of elements directly attached to the root_device do not

display anymore the root colon (slot tags were already behaving in

this way); elements attached to optional devices use tags starting

with colon (to be interpreted as a relative tags which gets

appended to the device tag, when such a device is selected in a

slot)

* modified when necessary output routines to pass a root_device and a

root_tag as parameters, in order to simplify output of relative

devices and avoid duplicated code

* updated DTD according to the new elements and attributes These

changes allow frontends to know in advance how drivers can be

configured through the various slot options (by matching option

descriptions with device descriptions), without the need to run

-lx with the various slot combinations. This is especially of use

if a device adds e.g. dipswitches or image devices (like

additional floppy drives or additional slot expansions), but also

if one wants to know e.g. how many sound channels a soundcard

would add to a pc driver, or which kind of screen parameters would

be added by a specific choice of video card.

i386: Added 32-bit versions of LMSW, and made LMSW only change the

lower 4 bits of CR0. [barry Rodewald]

Fixed Windows 95 blue screen. [Carl]

Preliminary driver for Merkur's 'Mahn Oh-Mann'. German board game

similar to Ludo, derivated from the indian game Parchisi. Coin-op

machine for 1-4 players. No screen, just artwork and lamps.

[Roberto Fresca]

Removed need for *_dev.lst files [Miodrag Milanovic]

* enforced short names for slot card devices

* updated validation, romverify and listxml output accordingly

N64: Force mtc0 opcodes that initiate to-RSP DMAs to end recompile

sequences to force a code check. Fixes certain microcodes from

executing garbage code after DMA. [Ryan Holtz]

N64: Don't flush the RSP DRC cache on DMA. Fixes Mario 64 and others.

[Ryan Holtz]

N64: Miscellaneous machine fixes [Ryan Holtz]

* Increase the amount of time consumed by PI DMA, makes certain RSP

microcodes that test DMA speed land in the correct window.

* Force the main CPU to yield when the RSP reads its atomic

semaphore.

* Force the RSP to yield when PI DMA completes.

* Flush the RSP DRC cache when touching IMEM with SP DMA.

i386: Prevent page faults when returning to same privilege and

unmapped pages are above the stack. Windows 95 boots now. [Carl]

Documentation of the video data on Dragon Gun. [David Haywood]

N64: Fix audio sync issues in Super Mario 64 and probably others, and

also bring PI DMA speed into the realm of reality. [Ryan Holtz]

N64: Change PI DMA speed from 3 cycles/word to 5.08 cycles, as

average PI speed is between 2.53 and 2.55 cycles/byte. [Ryan Holtz]

i386: LOCK prefix should depend on IOPL on 386. Windows NT beta

boots. [Carl]

gticlub: Rewrote the 3D renderer. Implemented gouraud shading,

lighting and fog. [Ville Linde]

Create a new device_mixer_interface, derived from

device_sound_interface, which mixes all its inputs to a single output

stream. Redefined the SPEAKER device to use this and remove the

duplicate underlying logic. The main purpose of this new interface is

to allow device-ification of an entire sound board, which can itself

become a mixer of all of its sound components to a single output

stream. This stream can then be routed by the device's owner to the

appropriate speakers. A real-life example will show up soon. [Aaron

Giles]

Better management of FLAC block sizes, aiming to keep them around 2k

samples. Increased CD sectors per hunk to 8 for better compression.

[David Haywood]

Re-did the non-CD FLAC codec to be "smart" in that it can choose

either big-endian or little-endian on the fly and uses the best one.

Added FLAC as a default codec for hard disks, which helps a lot for

certain disks. [Aaron Giles]

Added missing proms for Fax and Fax 2. [W. Belk, Smitdogg, The

Dumping Union]

New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status

Casino Poker (Ver PM86LO-35-5, German) [Roberto Fresca, Team Europe]

version 6.5.1 change log - February 25, 2012

Games with discrete audio were not being parsed correctly from -listxml output (MAME)

More source code cleanups

CHD Sub-filters removed. Only a single CHD filter is available from now on. File "chd_mediatypes.ini" no longer required

CHD compression type info completely removed from the project. Now only the header version is shown

Support for "Game FAQ Files" and "PCB Info Files" removed (preferences screen, game info feature)

This is a frontend for MAME.

EMULOADER Version 6.5 change log - February 21, 2012

Fixed:

• Since MAME 0.144u7 main CPU tags have a " : " char in the tag name (-listxml output). Dunno why they did this... :_(
  

Added:

• View game info from Progetto EMMA website, since MAWS is offline and there's no ETA on its return (if ever)
  
• To change between them, go to main menu "Images", and select one of the options. "Progetto EMMA" will be the default setting from now on
  
• Support MAME v0.145u1: new CHD header v5 detection (no compression type detection though)
  
• Support new settings for the latest Supermodel 0.3a-WIP ("Supermodel Default Settings" and run games)
