MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

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

 

 

Source Changes

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

Simplified CPS3 decryption function. [Nicola Salmoria]

 

Fixed potential double free in PNG code. [Nathan Woods]

 

Fixed warnings generated by newer gcc compilers. [R. Belmont]

 

General driver cleanups: [Zsolt Vasvari]

- changed some more global ‘Machine’ to local ‘machine’

- standardized on the function name ‘draw_sprites’

- removed some antiquated boilerplate comments

 

Updated FM emulator to use mame_time instead of double. Removed old

neogeo hack from FM code as it appears to no longer be necessary.

[Zsolt Vasvari]

 

Updated all sound cores to use mame_time instead of double.

[Zsolt Vasvari]

 

Populated several more Irem CPU opcodes for gussun. [robiza]

 

Fixed CPS3 code to work on big-endian systems. [R. Belmont]

 

Fixed code_to_token() to prevent potential buffer overflows.

[Atari Ace]

 

Fixed crashes in non-working drivers dynablsb and driveyes.

[Atari Ace]

 

Changed all CPU cores’ internal timers to the mame_timer* functions

as well as the remaining couple of core files that still used

timer_alloc(). After this, none of the emu/* files have any old style

timing code left. [Zsolt Vasvari]

 

Various CPS3 updates as documented on Haze's blog. [David Haywood]

 

Fixed type in BLENDER2_32 function in the n64 video code.

[Christophe Jaillet]

 

Created a new resistor network interface for computing palettes from

color PROMs and component values on the PCB. Fixed several issues

with the previous implementation. [couriersud]

 

Donkey Kong driver update: [couriersud]

- added sprite ram bank switching from schematics

- combined memory maps

- first attempts on decoding m58815

- radarsc1 driver for radarscope trs01 hardware

- all drivers use VIDEO_RAW now

- fixed cocktail issues

- combined io and sound memory maps

- implemented background handling (disable prom /CS line) in all

dkong drivers

 

Extended the flt_rc filter to support highpass filtering. Fixed the

lowpass filter to actually do a lowpass filter. Hooked up the filter

to King & Balloon and updated several other drivers to the new

interface. [couriersud]

 

Added support in the main makefile for profiling. Set PROFILE=1 to

turn this on. [Christophe Jaillet]

 

Updated djboy driver to almost fully playable state.

[Phil Stroffolino]

 

Temporarily reverted input code back to 0.116 baseline pending deeper

analysis and upcoming core changes to simplify the OSD layer for input

management. [Aaron Giles]

 

Changed a number of stderr fprintf's in the Windows OSD code to

mame_printf_error and mame_printf_warning calls, as appropriate.

[Aaron Giles]
