Subject: Qix alt set
Klaus / Team Europe dumped this alt Qix set.
Qix (set 2, smaller roms) [Team Europe]
It actually appears to be the same set as one of the supported ones, but
with smaller roms. This one is definitely from an original Taito board
(he sent a picture), I'm not so sure about the other set because it's
the odd one out as far as rom sizes go. I've left both in the driver
for best reference.
I've also renamed 'qixa' to 'qixo' as it seems to be an older version
and tagged it as such. Language selection is disabled, and there is a
spelling error on the screen not present in the other sets. Please
update mamdriv.c accordingly.

Subject: spacwalk dips and player2 support
Hello,
Attached is a diff for 0133u1 Space Walk that adds game time and coinage
DIP switches, as well as service mode and input test. DIP switches 5 and 6
are still unknown. It also adds support for the 2nd controller and
coincounter, similar to clowns. I've removed the GAME_NOT_WORKING flag, since
other than a glitch with the CPU controlled pad on the left side, the gameplay
is working fine. The fact that the middle section is inaccessible looks
deliberate: there's probably a vertical-shape object in the original artwork
the clown (astronaut in this case:P) can bump into.
Greets,
hap

Subject: i8080 daa + multiple memreads fix, gottlieb audio, looping log
Hello,
i8080_daa_multiplememreads.zip: diff for 0133u1 i8080/i8085 cpu, removing the
DAA table and fixing multiple memory reads on some opcodes (which would possibly
only trigger on memorymapped I/O), and making M_ANA(R) halfcarry calculation a
bit more straightforward. The functionality is basically the same as before.
i8080_newdaa_test.zip was used to test the new DAA implementation.
src/emu/cpu/i8085/i8085daa.h can be removed in 0.134, or is DIFF capable of
removing files completely?
Greets,
hap
Made the changes. I don't have svn access so if someone can submit the
attached diff for me...

Thanks. So it looks like the code needs to be changed from 19k resistors to
10k. That should make it sound right.
I'm not near a computer with svn access at the moment. So if anyone want to
make the change, feel free.

I have done Intel 4004 implementation, here is a patch (it also
contain a POC driver for 4004 Nixie tube clock, that runs under MESS).
4004clk is artwork file, and roms file contain needed roms (just rename ZIP).

Miodrag

Subject: with attachment: fixing bootleg + sonson fixes
Woops, forgot the attachment..
Hello,
Thanks for including my fixes in the u1 release :)
Attached diff for 0133u1 fixes 2 small things related to u1 fixes:
- description bootleg inconsistency didn't include goldnpkr.c
- forgot Y in sonson sprite wrap (see titlescreen when the 2 guys jump up)

Probably not harmful currently, but if the UML core ever gets more aggressive
with optimization (e.g. if we spliced in something like LLVM as a code
generator) it could've become an issue.
---------------------------------------------------
Ridge Racer (3 screen? Rev. RR2, World) [Guru, Smitdogg]
Claimed to be 3 screen but it comes up fine in the driver as-is. The I/O
test does complain about the C139 serial being unable to talk to anything so
I'm assuming that's how the 3-screen-ness works and will not purse that
angle :)
This was submitted in May and never put in because nobody from MESS commented.
I just tried it hooked up to the Apple II in MESS and it sounds quite nice.
* Fixed Mode 7 shared scrolling/matrix registers
* Slightly optimized Mode 7 math (by using Anomie's recursive formula)
* Moved some more register contents to PPU struct
