Source Changes

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

Fixed compilation errors if HAS_SAMPLES is 0. [Nathan Woods]

 

Stop crash/assert when trying to decrease the debugger memory window

bytes per line to 0. [Phil Bennett]

 

Improved implementations for undocumented instructions 63, 67, 6f, 73,

77, 7b, 7f, 9c, 9e, ab, e3, e7, ef, f3, f7, fb, and ff in the n2a3

cpu core. [Wilbert Pol]

 

Force recalculation of screen parameters when only the MC6845 input

clock changes. [Wilbert Pol]

 

Seibu CRTC part 1: [Angelo Salese]

* Merged Sengoku Mahjong & Good e Jong video HWs

* Added correct scrolling functions for Sengoku Mahjong

* Removed some positioning kludges in both drivers

 

Fixed Sengoku Mahjong hopper error after first winning match.

[Angelo Salese]

 

Removed deprecat dependancy from Good e Jong, one irq wasn't needed

at all (points to a reti). [Angelo Salese]

 

Fixed cpu reset for upd78c06. [Wilbert Pol]

 

Added new #define ENDIANNESS_NATIVE, which maps to either

ENDIANNESS_LITTLE or ENDIANNESS_BIG based on the LSB_FIRST definition.

Unlink LSB_FIRST, ENDIANNESS_NATIVE always exists and can be used in

expressions without invoking the preprocessor. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added macro ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE() which selects one of two values based

on the endianness passed in. Also added NATIVE_ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE()

which calls ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE with ENDIANNESS_NATIVE. [Aaron Giles]

 

Updated a number of drivers and call sites to use these macros in

favor of #ifdef LSB_FIRST. [Aaron Giles]

 

Removed some stray ADDR2BYTE/BYTE2ADDR macros that have been replaced

by inline functions. [Aaron Giles]

 

DRC frontends must now do their own opcode fetching unfortunately.

Updated all DRC cores to do this. Also tweaked a few oddities in the

SH2 DRC. [Aaron Giles]

 

drw80pkr changes: [Jim Stolis]

- Added bankswitching to program memory

- Partial graphics support

- Partial sound support

 

Preliminary ADPCM hook-up to Jantotsu, it plays something but it's

not yet right. [Angelo Salese]

 

Removed redundant config parameter from SND_START. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed gfx regression with 18 Holes Pro Golf and added proper memory

map for the second cpu. [Angelo Salese]

 

Sound cores no longer allocate their own tokens. Instead they return

a new integer value indicating the size of token they want, and the

core allocates it for them. This mirrors the standard device behavior.

[Aaron Giles]

 

SRMP5 update [tsBTN0640]

- sound pitch is low with current st0016 driver.

 

Fixed Perfect Soldiers input (added missing button3) [a3SEybxT0]

 

Added missing key for sfiiij and sfiii2j [swzp1Dp/0]

 

Tidied up the micro3d driver and fixed sound. [Phil Bennett]

 

Increased Cloak & Dagger interleave quantum to eliminate 'SLAVE COM

BAD' startup message. [Phil Bennett]

 

Major cleanup to IGS poker games [Mirko Buffoni]

- Renamed csk driver to igspoker. This includes Champion Poker,

Champion Skill, New Champion Skill

- Converted drivers to tilemap system and unified video section

- Unified memory maps and checked all input ports

- Removed obsolete palette handlers and made use of generic handlers

- Added layout for lamps handling

- Added hopper simulation

- Added New Champion Skill (different set, maybe original

international release) and renamed current igs_ncs to igs_ncs2

(2000 version for italian market)

- Promoted igs_ncs2 to working state, but set GAME_IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS

(missing initial notice screen)

- Moved Jackie to a separate driver (it's a slot machine game)

- Made some progress on Jackie which now boots (toggle mode to play,

but work still needs to be done)

 

Virtual Combat and Shadow Fighters update. [Phil Bennett]

* Fixed framebuffer handling & screen parameters.

* Added sound.

* Corrected RAM sizes to match what is present on the PCBs.

* Hooked up NVRAM.

 

Fixed clamping to 12 bit range to Okim6376, and adjusted volume

attenuation accordingly. [Mirko Buffoni]

 

Fixed TMS5220 speech in Turbo Sub [Phil Bennett, Jay Gallagher]

 

adp improvements: [robiza]

- implemented p1 inputs in skattv and fashiong (service mode is

working)

 

Defined ROM_LOAD64_WORD/ROM_LOAD64_WORD_SWAP in emu/romload.h.

[Phil Bennett]

 

cb2001: mapped two more opcodes. [robiza]

 

Fixed Soul Calibur (vs. Inferno) [4oj9/xJ+0]

 

Added custom 3-screen layout to Stepping Stage driver. [Naibo Zhang]

 

Changed yunsung8 oki xtal to 400khz, verified on pcb. Unfortunately

I couldn't verify the main xtal which was missing on my pcb.

[Corrado Tomaselli]

 

Restored previous cycle eating behavior in gstream. [Mamesick]

 

Changed device start routines to no longer return a status. Instead,

if a device needs to delay its initialization pending the startup

of another device, it must call the new function device_delay_init().

[Olivier Galibert]
