Bomberman Misobon Roulette (961028 JPN) [Steamy Jimmy, Sean Riddle]
Clones promoted to working
--------------------------
Head Panic (ver. 8.30) [trol]
- Click and adjustment state is now tracked for each pointer ID individually,
rather than globally.
- If a user selects the slider knob, the adjustment will be proportional to
the knob movement. This allows for finer adjustments. If the user clicks
elsewhere on the slider, the adjustment is based on the absolute position
of the click.
- Rewrite DMAC DMA controller. Now actually transfers data.
- Add preliminary support for the A590 hard disk controller
- Add preliminary support for the Action Replay freezer devices
- Add support for the MegaMix 500 RAM expansion
- Add preliminary support for the A2091 hard disk controller
New working software list additions

A590 Setup Disk 1.7 (Western Digital Harddisk) [Turran FTP]
A2091 Setup Disk 1.27 [Amiga Hardware Database]
cpu/drcbex86.cpp: Don't use static address space accessors. This gives
a big performance improvement.
cpu/drcbeut.cpp: Made failure to resolve address space accessors fatal.
cpu/drcbearm64.cpp: Removed fallback to static address space accessors.
cpu/mips3/mibs3.cpp: Removed static address space accessors. All they
were doing was hurting performance.
cpu/drcbex64.cpp: Don't use goofy X64_WINDOWS_ABI macro, just check
_WIN32. The only other environment that uses the Windows calling
convention is (U)EFI, and we can move feature detection to util/abi.h if
we ever need to care about it.

Last Force - The Virtual Battle in 1930's (1993)(Hong Kong Project) [Shentok on archive.org]
Xadlak Plus (1996)(Sprite) [danielham on archive.org]
* Removed hard-coded tags and reduced code duplication.
* Improved save state support, suppress side effects for debugger reads.
* Increased size of CG board ROM regions to avoid out-of-bounds errors if higher banks are selected.
* Use bitfield extraction helpers, reduced literal tag usage, use logmacro.h for logging, made some variables const.
* Reduced preprocessor macros, updated comments.
-konami/gticlub.cpp: Removed unnecessary code.
-konami/hornet.cpp: Split driver state class for different configurations, moved bank configuration into machine_start().
-konami/nwk-tr.cpp: Split palette per CG boards (K001604 also has palette RAM interface?).
* Use a memory view for the boot ROM overlay.
* Reduced literal tags, reduced duplicated code, and made some variables const.
-machine/z80dma.cpp: Suppress side effects for debugger reads.
* Corrected Wardner palette size.
* Suppress side effects for debugger reads, register for save states in machine_start().
* Use bit extraction helpers, reduced scope of loop counter variables.
* Reduced literal tag usage, use more appropriate types for variables, made some variables const.
* formats/cassimg.cpp: Put allocation outside loop again, check more allocations for failure.
* pc8801_flop.xml: Actually mark clones as clones, transliterate title for S.F.3.D.
* apple/macadb.cpp: Tidy a little.
* MC68EZ328: Allow selection and use of Port A
On EZ and VZ, PASEL is reserved, and it was hard-coded to 0 (disabled).
However, the user manual notes: "In an 8-bit-only system, you can
configure these pins as a parallel I/O port by writing a 1 to the
WDTH8 bit of the SCR."
According to the MC68328 datasheet, something similar should be needed
to activate its Port B, but that change is not included here. Its PBSEL
is exposed, so there is likely no difference in emulation.
* MC68EZ328: Fuller implementation of timer
The existing implementation left the timer counter (TCN) at zero until
the compare value (TCMP) was reached. However, some software relies on
reading the TCN values to measure elapsed time.
The timer counter (TCN) now increments on every timer tick.
