Mame 0.80u3 Is Released

[James]

0.80u3

General Source Changes

 

CHDCD / Konami GV update [R.Belmont]

- Preliminary CD-ROM support for CHDMAN. Input is from CDRDAO

.toc/.bin images (cdrdao.sourceforge.net). CDRDAO comes with utilities

to convert CDRWIN.cue/.bin images to.toc/.bin format.

- Intel Flash ROM emulation support

- CDROM emulation primitives, including Red Book audio playback

- CDROM support for the AM53cf96 SCSI controller

- Konami GV System driver. GV System is identical to a home

Playstation/PSOne console, except the CD-ROM is SCSI instead of

proprietary.

 

Stuff still in progress:

- The SPU emulation needs a lot of help, especially on Wedding Rhapsody.

smf is working on it.

- The SCSI CD-ROM emulation needs to be separated out from the AM53cf96 if

we ever emulate other SCSI controllers or CD-ROM drives.

- CHDMAN doesn't output anything useful when you extract a CHD-CD. It

should write out a CDRDAO image.

- Audio tracks on CDs are not compressed at present (or more accurately

they're gzip compressed, which is useless). The plan is to use FLAC at

some point.

 

Misc Fixes [Nathan Woods]

src/mame.c:

src/mame.h:

src/windows/config.c:

- Changed options.savegame to be a string. If this is a one

character string, then the save state is loaded as before. If it is a

larger string, then cpu_loadsave_schedule_file() is used.

 

src/state.c:

src/state.h:

- Added a state_save_check_file(); a call that front ends can use to

validate a state save file
