    Source Changes

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

    Implemented m90 playfield 1 and playfield 2 y-offset table. This

    fixes, at least, the water effect in riskchal and the text fading

    effect in the matchit2 demo. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli, Tomasz Slanina]

     

    Started changing naomi gdrom sets to load the CHDs. [David Haywood]

     

    Additional documentation for Egg Venture & Lethal Justice:

    [brian Troha]

    - Added JAMMA pinout

    - Gun Connector pinout

    - Sound & Amp information

     

    snk.c coin inputs seem to be active high (except for jcross)

    [Nicola Salmoria]

     

    Fixed bg tile banking in Canvas Croquis. Removed snkwave since it

    doesn't seem to be used and might not be present on the pcb at all.

    General driver cleanup, bringing it in line with snk.c but not

    merging it since somthing doesn't quite fit. [Nicola Salmoria]

     

    Merged memory maps in munchmo.c. [Nicola Salmoria]

     

    Changes to magic10 driver: [Roberto Fresca]

    - Better structure and organization.

    - Added Super Gran Safari.

    - Added improved lamps layout to Super Gran Safari and Magic's 10.

     

    Added new device interface selector: DEVINFO_PTR_ROM_REGION. This

    allows a device to provide a set of ROM regions to be loaded along

    with the game ROMs. It is expected that most regions defined for

    devices will use the ROMREGION_LOADBYNAME flag to enable the ROMs to

    live in a central location. [Aaron Giles]

     

    Added new device interface selector: DEVINFO_PTR_MACHINE_CONFIG. This

    allows a device to specify a partial machine driver which is appended

    to the end of the machine driver for any game using that device. The

    intention for this is to allow devices which have their own BIOS logic

    to specify CPUs and other characteristics common to all systems using

    the device. [Aaron Giles]

     

    Added new ROMREGION flag: ROMREGION_LOADBYNAME, which means that if

    the ROMs in that region are not found in the usual driver files, then

    the name of the region will be used as a driver filename for loading.

    [Aaron Giles]

     

    Extended the ldcore interface structure to allow each player type to

    provide its own ROM region and partial machine driver. [Aaron Giles]

     

    Moved preliminary PR-8210 emulation code from ldplayer.c to

    ldpr8210.c. It is currently disabled behind the EMULATE_PR8210_ROM

    compile time flag. [Aaron Giles]

     

    Added built-in "Off" states to the cheats with parameters. This is

    also the default state, obviating the need for a default value.

    Removed the "default" attribute as a result. Switching from "Off" to

    another state first executes the "on" script followed by the "change"

    script. Switching to "Off" from another state executes the "off"

    script. While not off, the "run" script is executed each frame.

    [Aaron Giles]

     

    Moved reset to default behavior in the cheat menu to IPT_UI_CLEAR.

    [Aaron Giles]

     

    Moved all naomi-gd keys to external. [David Haywood]

     

    Cleaned up shadfrce.c input port mapping. [David Haywood]

     

    Merged I/O maps in a number of drivers. [Andrew Gardner]

     

    Fixed sprites in imago [Pierpaolo Prazzoli, Tomasz Slanina]

     

    Added concept of rom sources to the rom loader. Updated auditing,

    CLI utilities, validity checks, and ROM loading to use these new

    functions so that device-specific ROMs are handled properly.

    [Aaron Giles]

     

    Added a core_fopen_ram_copy() call, similar to core_fopen_ram()

    except that it copies the memory. [Nathan Woods]

     

    Added redumped welltris program ROMs. [Dazzer]

     

    CPUs, sound chips, devices, and ROM-regions which are specified by

    devices now have their tags auto-prefixed with the device's tag. This

    allows for multiple instances to be present. For example, the PR-8210

    laserdisc player has a CPU with a tag of "pr8210". When it is included

    as a device by a driver, the driver may tag the device "laserdisc".

    The resulting final CPU tag name will be "laserdisc:pr8210". Also

    updated the debugger expression engine to support names with embedded

    colons. [Aaron Giles]

     

    Added checks to ensure that tags used for CPUs, sound chips, regions,

    and devices follow some basic rules: they should be less than 15

    characters long, be all lower-case, and only contain letters, numbers,

    underscores, or dots (no spaces). This is to ensure that they can be

    used properly in debugger expressions and don't get too long or

    unwieldy to type (even 15 chars is rather long). Fixed up all tags in

    the system that failed these checks. [Aaron Giles]

     

    Space Win changes: [Roberto Fresca]

    - Some corrections to the memory map.

    - Added proper working RAM.

    - Added Dallas DS1220Y NVRAM.

    - Added output port.

    - Added lamps layout.

    - Added complete inputs.

    - Changed description to "Scacco Matto / Space Win" since the

    default game is Scacco Matto.

    - Fixed memory maps.

    - Documented Super Derby outputs.

    - Added lamps support + layout to Super Derby.

    - Fixed the phisical RAM size to all games.

    - Fixed the wrong NVRAM size to spacewin (16Kb instead of 16KB).

    - Added proper NVRAM to sderby and pmroulet.

    - Added the missing 3rd input to pmroulet (needed for 3-button mode).

    - Cleaned up the driver.

    You must enter the service mode and change graphics in order to

    switch the game.

     

    Changed DEVICE_START functions to return an error code. Currently

    this is either DEVICE_START_OK or DEVICE_START_MISSING_DEPENDENCY.

    The latter should be returned by a device if there is another device

    it depends on which hasn't been started yet. Added new flag in the

    device interface to indicate whether a device has been started.

    [Aaron Giles]

     

    Changed laserdisc interface to explicitly specify the screen and sound

    devices it should route to. Drivers no longer have to manually call

    laserdisc_vsync(). Instead, the laserdisc code connects up to the

    routed screen device and works based on that screen's VBLANK timing.

    Removed all existing calls to laserdisc_vsync(). [Aaron Giles]

     

    Changed laserdisc behavior so that it completes the previous video

    read and initiates the next read at the end of VBLANK instead of the

    beginning. This gives player logic time during VBLANK to alter the

    slider position prior to fetching the next frame. [Aaron Giles]

     

    Added new laserdisc callback for vsync begin and changed the update

    callback to be called at the end of VBLANK. Also added functions to

    set the slider speed, advance the slider, and directly control the

    video/audio squelch. In addition, there is a new status function to

    get the slider position in general terms. [Aaron Giles]

     

    Added parameter to the VBLANK callbacks supported in emu/video.c.

    Updated all callers to provide a callback value. [Aaron Giles]

     

    Fixed bug that would cause watchpoints to trigger if you had a memory

    window open to the watchpoint address. [Aaron Giles]

     

    Further updates to the PR-8210 ROM simulation. Still not quite there

    but the system is much better understood now. Added layout to the

    PR-8210 which displays the state of the front-panel LEDs.

    [Aaron Giles]

     

    Clickable input support. Layouts can now have items which when clicked

    will alter the state of an input port. This is done via the new

    attributes 'inputtag' and 'inputmask', which specify an input port tag

    and mask. When the given element is clicked, the state of the element

    changes to 1 and the given bits in the input port are set the same as

    if you had pressed the equivalent switch. [Nathan Woods]

     

    Started adding naomi2 sets. [David Haywood]

     

    Added sprites buffering to Limenko driver and removed imperfect video

    flag from spotty. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

     

    Improvements to Croupier (Playmark Roulette): [Roberto Fresca]

    - Simulated the MCU communication/protection.

    The game seems to work properly, but is hard to win.

    I conserved the game flags till we have the MCU decapped,

    and emulated properly.

    - Added full sound support.

    - Added lamps support + layout.

     

    Fixed memory handling of internal banks. They should be LOWER priority

    than the driver's memory maps. Reverted recent changes to MCS-48 core

    that were very hacky and which crashed many games. You can now

    properly override the internal memory map and do your own banking.

    [Aaron Giles]

     

    8080/8085 CPU core updates: [Miodrag Milanovic]

    1. ANA/ANI instruction, HF flag was not set right because error in

    calculation of it (missing brackets)

    2. 8080 have NF flag always set (it is not used flag but bit is

    always set)

    3. Added support for status output lines.

     

    Moved more static data into const and added some more explicit

    initialization. [Atari Ace]

     

    Added LSI BIOS to the Atari System 1 driver. Made the System 1 BIOS

    a proper BIOS. Removed restriction that BIOS-related ROMs must

    immediately follow the BIOS definition. [Kevin Eshbach, Aaron Giles]

     

    cave.c changes: [Kevin Eshbach]

    * Changed the hardcoded MHz values in the Cave driver to the XTAL

    equivalents

    * Updated the Cave driver for the game Guwange with gals that need

    to be dumped

     

    Jail Break changes: [Kevin Eshbach]

    * Updated the Jail Break driver with the dip locations

    * Corrected the Jail Break driver sound chip from a SN76496 to a

    SN76489

    * Corrected the Jail Break rom names

    * Redumped the Jail Break VLM rom dump

     

    Super Basketball changes: [Kevin Eshbach]

    * Corrected the Super Basketball Revision H rom dump

    * Updated the Super Basketball driver with the dip locations

    * Corrected the Super Basketball VLM XTAL

    * Corrected the Super Basketball parent/child relationships by making

    the Revision H the parent

    * Turned on save state support for the Super Basketball driver

     

    Updated the Sega System 1 driver with more board information on the

    Choplifter bootleg and updated the placeholders for the pals that need

    to be dumped. [Kevin Eshbach]

     

    Updated the WWF Wrestlefest driver rom names. Added save state support

    to the WWF Wrestlefest driver. [Kevin Eshbach]

     

    C352 cleanup: Removed an unused volume table dating from before the

    volume was (correctly) implemented as linear. [Olivier Galibert]

     

    Added memory checking and error logic to ledutil.c.

    [Christophe Jaillet]

     

    Added running_machine * to some more locations in the system. Updated

    drivers accordingly. [Oliver Stoeneberg]
