Mame v0.99u2

0.99u2

------

 

Prior versions of MAME have excluded some drivers (primarily gambling-related) for philosophical reasons. Since these games are legitimately at risk of being lost to the ages, and many of them have strong similarities to the other sorts of games MAME emulates, it has been decided to allow their inclusion going forward. The criteria for inclusion in MAME is now simply "any primarily video based arcade machine, driven by one or more CPUs," and should relieve any confusion surrounding this issue going forward.

Source Changes

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

More input port cleanup: [Aaron Giles]

- Fixed input port handlers that used the port_tag_to_handler calls.

- Simplified the reading/writing of input ports so they work more reliably.

- Only write changed settings to the.cfg files.

- Fixed saving of analog port configurations.

 

Updated to the latest zlib. [Atari Ace]

 

Added flipscreen to Pop Bingo. Added some disable registers for tilemaps/sprites (fixing the bug in lastday demo). [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Fixed some video bugs in Party Time. [David Haywood]

 

Adjusted Namco CUS30 noise frequency. [bUT]

 

Fixed input ports in djmain. [bUT]

 

Several Konami improvements: [R. Belmont]

- Added support for "external memory address" registers on the YMZ280B, which can be used to read the contents of attached ROM or RAM.

- Hooked up the mask ROM tests in the service menu - both the tile character ROMS and the sound ROMs now can be tested.

- Added secondary control register.

- Hooked up IRQ control.

- Renamed ROMs for both games to include PCB location information.

 

Some improvements to the DECO cassette games: [Juergen Buchmueller]

- Treasure Island graphics ROMs (overlay board) mapped according to

findings by debugging the game code.

- Swapped image names for ctislnd2 and ctislnd3 to match the driver names; ctislnd3 is the not yet working set; removed IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS flag.

- Found bitswap for Zeroize type #3 dongle; found hack to get it running w/o the dongle ROM by debugging the game code; changed year to 1983; removed NOT_WORKING flag.

 

SHARC/Model 2 updates: [Ville Linde]

- Reworked the SHARC internal ram implementation so that multiple instances of the core work.

- Added data address space

- Added coprocessor input and output FIFO's to Model 2.

- Updated Konami zr107, gticlub, nwk-tr, hornet to work with the SHARC changes

 

Seibu SPI improvements: [Ville Linde]

- Fixed sprite priority issues

- Added support for pen-based alpha to sprites and tilemaps. It's currently using fixed alpha table for all games, but this seems to break some games, so it probably isn't correct.

 

Fixed the discrete sound 555 timer modules when using actual DC mode. [Derrick Renaud]

 

Added low-frequency oscillator (LFO) to YMF271 emulator. [Ville Linde]

 

Improvements to the dcon driver: [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

- Fixed sprites - sprites priorities

- Fixed sprites - tilemaps priorities

- Added wrap around and flipy in sprites

 

Added MNG recording support (shift+F12 by default). [Mathis Rosenhauer]

 

Fixed 6309 division instructions overflow behavior on the HD6309. [Tim Lindner]

 

Fixed more YMF271 issues: [Ville Linde]

- The mix buffer pointer was not being reset between two 2-operator FM sounds, causing missing sounds.

- Fixed some bugs in the phase modulation of FM sounds

Looks like they have not added all of the gambling games ?

Yeah, I noticed that as well. The Neo-Geo gambling games haven't been added. :thumbsup1:

Mame (command-line version) released!  ^^^^

Where because they do not normally release the Binary U releases Only diff files for those who compile and test these U releases .

Only the offical Binary is released.

I think you should not link to there if it was not compiled by MameDEV.
