MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

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

- 03403: [DIP/Input] rollfr_2: Can't init Roll Fruit game. (MetalliC)

- 03458: [sound] bzone and clones: Broken engine sound (couriersud)

 

 

 

Source Changes

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

Added genuine sets of Rally-X and New Rally-X [Team Japump!!!]

 

discrete_sound_r now can inquiry any node: [couriersud]

- the return type is UINT8, consequently the designer needs to ensure

that the node delivers adequately scaled data.

- input nodes allow the input data to be scaled. The return value is

the node value *after* scaling.

 

DISCRETE_74LS624 - optimized for some more speed. [Derrick Renaud]

 

DISCRETE_566 - started making a more accurate simulation based on

testing of a real IC. This makes the rest of Sky Raider sounds work.

[Derrick Renaud]

 

Completed dump of Gun Survivor 2 cart [Guru]

 

Hacked in the dsp56156's "Long Interrupts." Added SUB opcode.

Polygonet Commanders now goes in-game! [Andrew Gardner]

 

plygonet.c: hooked up 53936 roz layer. [R. Belmont, David Haywood]

 

Fleshed out SCC68070 definition in m68k core, for CD-i use in MESS

[Harmony]

 

m68k: disassemble PMOVE instruction (move to/from PMMU). [R. Belmont]

 

exp is slow, but pow is even slower [couriersud]

- more LS624 optimization, replace pow(10, x) by pow10(x)

- mixer loop optimizations

 

Impromved discrete performance for mario: [couriersud]

- pow to exp : 5%

- parallel tasks : 45%

- minor tweaks

 

M680x0 update: [R. Belmont]

- Add CPU types 68EC030, 68030, and 68EC040

- Start of 030/040 PMMU, including stubbed PMOVE

 

Fixed up RAM bank names to prevent crashes with memdump. Extended

explicit banks to 96. [Aaron Giles]

 

multfish.c driver fixes and improvements: [MetalliC]

- Hooked up inputs for Roll Fruit

- Added hopper emulation, payout now works

- Added information on how to initialize Roll Fruit

- Added in missing rom to a few MultiFish sets

 

DISCRETE_555_MSTABLE - optimized speed and added new operating modes.

[Derrick Renaud]

 

Fixed ROM name of warpwarp. Also removed 4th program ROM which is not

present on real board. [Team Japump!!!]

 

Memory references can now explicitly specify logical or physical

access by prepending with an 'l' or 'p'. Logical remains the default.

Example: ppb@1000 = physical program space byte at address $1000.

ldw@2000 = logical data space word at address $2000. Changed cheat

finder to explicitly reference physical memory when writing out new

cheats. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added simple system for auto-detecting cheat-worthy RAM areas.

[sandro Ronco]

 

Added NULL check to prevent MAME from crashing if a new input device

was connected at runtime. [David Haywood]

 

Expanded PROFILER_USERx to support up to 8 custom profiler areas.

[Christophe Jaillet]

 

Added more _NAME macros to be consistent with the standard naming

conventions. [Atari Ace]

 

Shuffled code around to better integrate HazeMD implementation.

[David Haywood, Fabio Priuli]

 

Sped up mario_custom_run() discrete sound. [Derrick Renaud]

 

Added discrete sound to Sprint 8. [Derrick Renaud]

 

Removed capacitor aging code and assumed range input is gnd for all

74LS629. [couriersud]

 

Omplemented m:n logic for buffered task nodes in discrete sound

[couriersud]

- preparation work so that a task node output buffer may be read by

more than one following task.

- target: implementation of task groups: tasks in a task group run

parallel, task groups serial. The current main task may than just

be task (in the last task group)

 

Space Walk - started discrete sounds. [Derrick Renaud]

 

Added static qualifiers where possible throughout the code.

[Atari Ace]

 

Discrete task groups [couriersud]

- DISCRETE_TASK_START now requires a parameter TASK_GROUP (>=0,

- Tasks are scheduled in the order of their task group

- Nodes are automatically buffered between task groups

- Discrete core determines nodes which need buffering to minimize

overhead (information in DISCRETE_LOG)

- A discrete block list now must put each stepped node into a task

if it uses tasks

- Drivers not using tasks will get one task allocated automatically

- Updated drivers accordingly

- Some more constification

 

Optimized tab removal in srcclean. [Atari Ace]

 

Centralized color definitions and made some colors more specific.

[Mamesick]

 

Hooked up Polynet Warriors joystick properly. [Andrew Gardner]
