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]

[what emu/games are you playing on your xbox?]

starwind is a service to share your virtual drives(alcohol 120%) as a media server. its samba for your dvd drive

 

Seems to be a very interesting piece of software ^^, I might have a look at it later

 

I found some info here , if someone still wanna know more about it.

 

StarWind is an advanced, full-featured software-only iSCSI Target for Microsoft Windows (both commercial and free versions). StarWind enables anyone to quickly install and configure an IP SAN solution that delivers immediate benefits allowing storage to be consolidated, virtualized and centrally managed. StarWind (commercial edition) is an ideal choice for any sized business.

[what emu/games are you playing on your xbox?]

I dont have a XBOX (I'm religious to Sony xD) but I wanna get one for emulators later, so when that time comes I probably will be playing some of the games supported in FBA-XXX

 

probably I will not use the XBOX for it's games because of my religion xDD, I think even my shoes are Sony lol

 

PS: For those XBOX religious ppl looking at this post, I come in peace .

 

SeeYaa!

[-Arcade Emulators Listing-]

I think this listing should be updated

 

Probably when I get a time today I will donate an updated list with some nice descriptions and stuff for 1Emulation

 

SeeYaa!

[Kawaks and fba gui buttons]

My personal preference is for FBA Enhanced, but the author's on a bit of a hiatus as of late.

 

LOL that would be me xD

 

But for those who didn't know it has been a while since Im back, and well the reason of the hiatus has been explained @ NeoSource.

 

I couldn't keep going around the net after I found this topic so now I will contribute with some comments ^^...

 

FB Alpha Rules - for those who haven't been using it for a while I really recommend you do, because, just take some minutes to look at the recent additions to both burn / burner interface.

 

http://www.barryharris.me.uk/

 

or check the "whatsnew.txt" included in the latest release (v0.2.96.95)

 

download the emu, give it a try and look at the massive changes going on, I'm not bluffing

 

Btw, Im now giving all my support to the official FB Alpha project, so every collaboration will go to the official project. My home board is IQ_132 forums (NeoSource) so you can see my work exclusively in there.

 

http://neosource.1emu.net/forums/

 

Finally, my choice when using a arcade emulator is... 1-FBA / 2-MAME (for those games not in FBA, but most of the games I like are in FBA and the others will be ported in the future probably so everything is cool ^^)

 

SeeYaa!

[FBA Shuffle 2007-12-29 released]

The guy (kof2112) posts on your forum, perhaps you can ask him about these matters.

 

My position is that I post the news regardless - I'm not a policeman nor a censor.

 

Oh don't worry man! ^^, Its not a problem with the news hehe , I'm just commenting about the FBA Shuffle

 

It was late in night so pls forget me for not specifying

 

 

Oh and yeah, I know about KOF2112

 

SeeYaa!

[FBA Shuffle 2007-12-29 released]

What I would like is that they give credits to those who worked on the code that they used to build their program, since it's public. They make lot of public coding acquired around the net into 'private' with this Shuffle build.

 

I'm not talking in a way so that they release the source, I have the original coding from a lot of features it have. and I can make them myself. It's just that it doesn't feel good to be doing something for all and then they take exclusive control over something that is originally public, and btw Im talking about coding & updates released @ NeoSource.

 

SeeYaa!

[FB Alpha Enhanced R7 released]

FB Alpha comes to life in NeoSource where it get lot of source and drivers updated mostly by the loyal users in there, like IQ_132 (the Admin), BisonSAS, OopsWare (he did the CPS3 driver for FBA originally, now IQ_132 and I are working on it too), Treble Winner (FBA Team) goes to the forums sometimes and post updates or help.

 

So basically if you want to get updates of FBA you should visit NeoSource (hosted by 1Emulation too)

 

And returning to the FB Alpha Enhanced topic, before this build I was working on other one, if you like this one you should look to what I did for the other build , it is called FB Alpha Extras

 

and you can see it's official thread here (take some time to read every page, it should be fun ):

 

http://neosource.1emu.net/forums/index.php?topic=635.0

 

but Im not working on it right now, Im doing the FB Alpha Enhanced and importing everything little by little to make a final bug-free version with the latest official core of FBA (btw, this one is being built/tested on W.Vista for latest OS compatibility)

 

SeeYaa!

[FB Alpha Enhanced R10 released]

i have the cps 3 games. but does this emu uses different rom names? i cant seem to find a list of the names

so far i've loaded jojo n not the other cps3 games...

 

It uses the same roms as MAME, so if you have the latest MAME sets there should be no problem.

[Haze’s Mame WIP!]

That's some beautiful wip btw, welcome to 1emu CaptainCPS-X

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

ThanX!!! IQ! ^__^...

 

I tested all the changes in my Unofficial compile of MAME32 and they

go fantastic ^^... Joemacr has better sound in this latest updates

and tested Osman too, is going good too

 

Im just waiting for the release of the new redumped roms for

Charlie Ninja ^^...i hope Haze keep the good work on this

and release some updates about Charlie Ninja soon

 

SeeYaa!!

[Haze’s Mame WIP!]

After the release of Mame98u3 Haze come back with

updates to the following:

 

1st update july 31 2005

 

Aaron has released the ‘u3′ source update for Mame 0.98, this includes the Deco 156 progress made so far.

 

Shortly after the release of u3 I made some further improvements to the 156 emulation, removing a kludge (allowing the Eeproms to work) and fixing the music.

 

2nd update August 1st 2005

 

Another 156 update..

I fixed a few more bugs in the driver.. if testing use the new source

 

3rd update August 1st 2005

 

Osman / Cannon Dancer

Dox fixed a bug in the ARM Cpu core, which in turn fixed the colours in Osman.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4th update August 1st, 2005

 

3rd 156 Update

 

This includes the ARM cpu core fix from Dox.

 

Also fixed are some priority problems.

 

Please delete any nvram files before testing, old nvram files WILL cause problems with Osman / Cannon Dancer.

 

The other good news for now is that the Mame Italia guys should be able to do a redump of Charlie Ninja, all going well that should have proper sprite colours by the end of tomorrow.

 

And a WIP just came out too:

 

August 2 2005 WIP

 

Charlie Ninja

The redump of the missing sprite rom was done by the Mame Italia Forum guys, here are the results.

it react like half a second later [1/2 second]

 

I will be testing again and trying diferent Server/Ping...to see if i can

use the controls normally...

 

I dont really know whats my ping but ill be checking, im new on

Netplay..thats why i dont know some things

 

Other thing i saw about netplay is that nebula dont have a Menu

for netplay...but supports it [?] and Kawaks lag a lot, FBA not tested

because is a personal build i made and i dont know if is compatible

with other FBA's...I use Mame32K 0.64 because is the better going

on netplay and going 60fps

 

ThanX All...

Its suposed to go well, right?

 

What this could be?

 

I have a Paradyne Modem with LAN 256k Connection...

i download things up to 27KB/s.

btw, Uploads go up to 17KB/s.

 

Do i need other joystick? more speed?

yup...he know about the decryption of data and how CDs store data

too...he talked about it in FBA forums when Loop said it was not

known how to decrypt data of CPS3.
