Source Changes

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

Fixed M65C02 optimization. [Peter Trauner]

 

TMS51xx and M58817 speech updates: [couriersud]

- radarsc1 uses tms5110 speech synth

- cvs games: according to PCBInfos speech chip is TMS5100. Changed driver to use TMS5100 and "game system operational" now sounds more natural

- removed sound/m58817.*

- added support for multiple coefficients maps to tms5110.*

- added coefficient maps for TMS5100 and M58817 from documented sources to tms5110r.c

- fixed interpolation factors (see tms5110r.c for reason)

- made lattice calculation precision 9bit

- added support for READBIT and LOADADDRESS commands to tms5110.c

- more changes in line with various patents

- documented TRS-02, TKG-02/03 "voice" interface

 

Completed the addition of static qualifiers to all MAME symbols that aren't explicitly exported. [Atari Ace]

 

Named the input_seq_type enumeration and used it explicitly in several places. [Nathan Woods]

 

Corrected tx1 and tx1a coinage DSW assignments. Reversed buggyboy/buggybjr 'Game Time' settings. [Philip Bennett]

 

TMS3203x core updates: [Aaron Giles]

* fixed interrupt handling

* added support for edge-triggered interrupts on '32

* expanded interrupt support for the '32

* updated drivers using TMS3203x core to deassert interrupts

* added externally accessible functions for converting '3x floating point format

* updated gaelco3d driver to use new functions

 

Zeus2 (+related) updates: [Aaron Giles]

* fixed save states for DCS games

* cleaned up Zeus2 waveram handling

* added Zeus2 save state support

* added preliminary model and quad rendering support for Zeus2

* added support to timekpr for the ZPRAM used on Zeus2

* hooked up ZPRAM in Zeus2 games

* hooked up controls in Zeus2 games

* updated poly.c to ensure it is idle before saving state

* Added artifical Z offset of -2 to make the full screen show in crusnexo

 

Replaced tekken2/tekken2a/tekken2b 'tes1wave.8k' ROM with the correct, non-byte-swapped dump. [Philip Bennett]

 

Added discrete 74LS624(56789) implementation [couriersud]

- DISCRETE_74LS624 is a VCO needed for dkongjr

- Supports Logic, Energy and Count outputs

 

dkong updates: [couriersud]

- Added dkongjr discrete sound

- Proper interface Z80 - I8035 for dkongjr

- Changed discrete sound output factors

- removed samples support for dkongjr

- Cosmetic changes

- Fixed regression in radarscp sound

- Added dipswitch locations to dkong3b

 

Documentation and clock frequency improvements for seta.c: [brian Troha]

- Added the Guru's readme info for Thundercade

- Corrected rom name for Thundercade

- changed clocks to OSC by divider IE: 16000000/2 /* 8MHz */

- Changed Orbs clock to 16MHz with note about 14.xx MHz

- Changed Meta Fox's x0-006 (65c02) to same as Thundercade

- Changed the YM3438 in Ultra Toukond Densetsu from 6MHz to 1600000/4 /* 4MHz */ as there is no mention of 6MHz OSC on PCB

 

Verified a number of clock frequencies from real PCBs. [Corrado Tomaselli, Zsolt Vasvari]

 

Fixed several memory leaks related to SCSI CD emulation. [Oliver Stoneberg]

 

Removed the increasing of the R register from each IX/IY related (FD xx or DD xx) instruction on the Z80. According to documentation and the behavior of the Amstrad CPC driver, this is incorrect. [barry Rodewald]

 

Added initial FPU support to the SH4 core. [samuele Zannoli]

 

Adjusted most conditional logging in MAME to use the idiom "do { if (VERBOSE) logerror x; } while (0)". This has the benefit that the compiler checks the syntax of the logging even in the case it will be eliminated, and in fact a number of cases here needed adjustments to compile because of this. [Atari Ace]

Plugin

I decided to do a release just before the year ends, and also to give this project some attention. Mainly due to me actively working on another emulator project as well as a personal project of mine.

 

Changes:

 

* New: Added HQ/LQXxS post processing filters

* Updated: 64x and 32x scaling factors are now useable.

 

Happy New Year!
