- Implement video slot and mono graphics video card
- Hook up CIO, SIO, RTC, PIT, SN76489
- Add daisy chain for Z80 devices and hook it up to the PIC
- Add system control ports
Removed support for DirectInput 7 and earlier. It hasn't been tested in
years, and it's not relevant on any supported OS. DirectInput is
effectively finalised at version 8, and is unlikely to get an API update
in the future.
Use more string[_view] and fewer C strings, and tightened up scope of a
few things.
neogeo.cpp: Added newer Universe BIOS versions to irrmaze - this allows
the Japanese version to be seen by switching the region, and joystick
play using a cheat (although 2.3 and later also support trackball play,
a joystick is still required for setup and to use the in-game menu).
Also changed roboarma to roboarmya, as this matches the software list,
and we prefer to make clone set names using suffixes.
neogeo.xml: Added irrmaze with usage note explaining that newer
Universe BIOS versions support joystick play as a cheat (must be enabled
each session - Universe BIOS does not save cheat state to NVRAM).
lwriter.cpp: Got rid of a couple of literal tags, make use of Allman
style a bit more consistent, and got rid of a redundant part of a
bitwise or expression.
runaway.cpp: Merged video code into main driver file, split state
classes, reduced a bit of redundancy, eliminated runtime input tag
lookups, and generally tidied up code.
dai3wksi.cpp: Noted manufacture in description for runaways.
-machine/smc91c9x.cpp adjustments:
* Reset should disable promiscuous mode.
* RCR - handle promiscuous changes, adjust soft reset handling.
* EPH_STATUS should be LINK_OK by default (previous code wouldn't set LINK_OK unless RX_EN is set but LANceGS won't set RX_EN unless LINK_OK is set).
* B0_BANK bits 4-8 are unspecified in the documentation but LANceGS expects a 3 (used in Card detection logic).
* MIR values depend on device type and resets when the mmu resets.
* Reading/writing the data register needs to be aware of 8-bit I/O.
* Calculate FCS.
* Removed WMS OUI filtering hack.
* Changed to use modern poly.h instead of polylgcy.h.
* Moved helper classes into separate voodoo namespace.
* Derived device classes from video_device_interface.
* Split classes so that later versions derive from earlier versions.
* Created device maps to be directly included.
* Redesigned register mapping to use helper classes and delegates.
* Rewrote rasterizers to use C++ templates instead of macros.
* Added logic to compute equations for color/texture combine units.
* Added special generic identity-texel rasterizer cases.
* Removed pipeline stalls on texture and palette changes.
* Removed pipeline stalls on most all parameter changes.
* Generally re-thought and cleaned up logic throughout.
* Parameterized cycle stealing on status reads; updated all existing voodoo consumers to configure it as it was before.
-vidoe/poly.h: Various improvements:
* Exposed poly_array class for broader use.
* Changed poly_array to intelligently determine maximum size.
* Added logic to track multiple "last" instances in poly_array.
* Extended logic to support up to 16m work items.
* Removed MaxPolys parameter from poly_manager template.
* Added Flags parameter to poly_manager template.
* Added POLY_FLAG_NO_CLIPPING flag to remove clipping code when not needed.
* poly_manager now supports a MaxParams value of 0.
* Made paramcount a template parameter for render_* functions.
* Added reset_after_wait() method to be overridden by derived classes.
* Switched to using std:: helpers instead of internal methods.
* Removed useless dependency on screen_device.
* TRACK_POLY_WAITS now produces more complete statistics.
-video/polylgcy.cpp: Removed legacy implementation of polygon renderer.
-machine/gt64xxx.cpp: Prevent lockups by disallowing 0-duration timers.
-machine/pci.cpp: Added support for adding subdevice maps directly.
-emu/video/rgbsse.h: Improved min/max for SSE4.1+ and scale+clamp operations for all.
-emu/vidoe/rgbutil.h: Made palette expansion constexpr and added argbexpand function.
-osd/osdcore.cpp: Changed osd_ticks to use QueryPerformanceCounter on Windows since the mingw std::chrono::high_resolution_clock is anything but.
New working software list additions
-----------------------------------
2A03Puritans [rainwarrior]
E.T. [KHAN]
Glider [anonymous]
* mapper 29: support should be complete but there are few if any other homebrew roms to test against
* mapper 30: only supports the most basic board that doesn't use flashable memory - tested on a dozen or so roms, all working
* add a game each for mappers 29 (Glider), 30 (E.T.), and 31 (2A03Puritans) so there is something in the software lists to actually test against. Glider is discontinued by manufacture, the other two are freely available from their authors.
* various naming clean ups, like BTL- prefixes for things that are not bootlegs
