- reset scheduler savestate to what it was for years before rewind
-- changing saved variables should be done after thorough testing. right now, adding some vars breaks some machines, adding other vars breaks others
- switch to megabyte-wise capacity
-- savestate size greatly differs between machines, relying on state count is unstable
- switch to internal indexing
-- no longer depends on inaccurate machine time
- rewind accelerator key in debugger (Ctrl+F11)
- report capacity hit (once), with some useful info
- make error reports saner
- mention rewind and rewind_capacity in the docs
Disassemblers are now independant classes. Not only the code is
cleaner, but unidasm has access to all the cpu cores again. The
interface to the disassembly method has changed from byte buffers to
objects that give a result to read methods. This also adds support
for lfsr and/or paged PCs.
- memory_translate now returns an address space number rather a boolean flag, permitting addresses in part of one space to map to an entirely different space. This is primarily intended to help MCUs which have blocks of internal memory that can be dynamically remapped, but may also allow for more accurate emulation of MMUs that drive multiple external address spaces, since the old limit of four address spaces per MAME device has been lifted.
- memory_translate has also been made a const method, in spite of a couple of badly behaved CPU cores that can't honestly treat it as one.
- The (read|write)_(byte|word|dword|qword|memory|opcode) accessors have been transferred from debugger_cpu to device_memory_interface, with somewhat modified arguments corresponding to the translate function it calls through to if requested.
- removed -antialias option (does not exist anymore)
- added missing -vector_beam_smooth option
- fixed suggested default values for -bloom_lvl_weights options (were messed up in the last update)
This change adds id() property to input_device, which represents the
unique device id. This allows the osd layer when creating a device to
pass a friendly display name along with a unique identifier.
Currently the device id is only used to map a physical controller device
to controller id, but can be used more generally in the future. For raw
input devices, we use the full raw input name as the device id. For all
other devices, we fall back to device name as the device id. The
"uniqueness" of the device id is not currently enforced in code.
This change adds support for configuring device to conrtoller id. This
allows for stable controller ids even if USB devices are plugged /
unplugged, system is rebooted, etc.
See documentation for additional context.
* added simple procedural texture for vectors with rounded line ends and beam smoothness
* added optional -vector_beam_smooth option
* removed -antialias option, antialiasing is now always applied, except for plain D3D
- vector_length_ratio is now independent from screen size
- changed vector_length_ratio range from [0.0, 1000.0] to [0.0, 1.0]
- updated display name and description of vector_length_scale vector_length_ratio
- separated curvature parameter into distortion, cubic_distortion and distort_corner
- distortion and cubic_distortion can be negative, to compensate each other
- distort_corner is intependent from the image distortion
- reduced raster bloom level to 8
- extended vector bloom level to 15
- changed vector bloom to be less blocky
- removed bloom_lvl9_weight and bloom_lvl10_weight options
- options are reset to loaded preset when game is closed
- changed default values of options to result in no effects activated
- init_slider_list() does not returns but sets g_slider_list directly
- removed unnecessary oriented_vector_texcoords
- HLSL now uses NPOT sized target surfaces (breaks compatibility with
graphics cards based on R300/R400/NV30 and older)
- HLSL target surfaces now have the size of the screen canvas
- removed HLSL pre-scale factor
- HLSL now uses a sharp bilinear interpolation to pre-scale textures to
screen canvas size, based on [Themaister's] implementation
- improved overall performance (based on the previously required
pre-scale factor, you might notice a 5-50% speed-up depending on your
graphics card, more if you used a higher pre-scale factor)
- improved shadow mask quality (pixel-perfect) in screen-mode
- fixed half source texel offset of bloom level alignment
- removed ./hlsl/artwork_support folder
- all shaders after pre-scale are now based on screen coordinate
(workaground, till both raster and vector pass can work on texture
coordinates)
- disabled distortion shader for more than one screen and for artworks
in full mode, does not affect artworks in copped mode (workaground, till
both raster and vector pass can work on texture coordinates)
- moved compute_texture_size() from texture_info to texture_manager (nw)
- merged YIQ encode and decode pass into one NTSC pass
- added options for most NTSC settings
- reduced sample count to 64
- changed default O value to 0
- fit NTSC signal jitter between a reasonable limit of 0 and 1
- fit A and B value between a reasonable limit of -1 and 1
- fit scanline jitter between a reasonable limit of 0 and 1
- added hum bar simulation based on [MooglyGuy's] GLSL port of the mame
shader pipeline
- added monochrome-chessboard.png
- added slot-mask-aligned.png (to simulate a TFT LCD)
