-nscsi_cd.cpp: Added various new-SCSI CD-ROM devices which support 512-byte blocks by default. [Ryan Holtz]
-sgikbd.cpp: Added a rudimentary HLE SGI Indigo keyboard device. Still needs keys to be mapped. [Ryan Holtz]
-indigo.cpp: Various changes: [Ryan Holtz]
* Expanded logging.
* Enabled PIT8254 timer. Has the wrong clock value; the correct clock causes a hang.
* Improved RAM layout.
* Added stubs for DSP RAM and Entry-level graphics.
Two sample roms are missing, sad. Volume is not taken into account
yet (because the registers are not yet understood), pan is though.
Don't even think about reverb or effects :-)
Current code plays a scale in a loop. Comment the timer alloc in
machine_reset to kill that.
Demo song (missing lots of sounds, because roms): U then > until demo

* [R9751] (Squashed) Early work on SMIOC emulation
commit 9b587be762abfd576e92792c612cd205c570924d

Connected SMIOC DMA to 68k
* SMIOC now reading bytes for serial from the 68k memory space successfully.
commit 0f801a05a3fa5b78768a1a2bcb9981466e8f2b0e
Author: Stephen Stair <sgstair@akkit.org>
Date: Tue Mar 27 18:31:32 2018 -0700
68k now running in lockstep with SMIOC for serial
* 68k now uses actual SMIOC as source of SMIOC status, so it waits for the SMIOC to complete commands before continuing.
* SMIOC DMA controllers now being asked to move bytes around
* "write character" (4100) commands to SMIOC are now completing and resulting in correct status being written and sent back to the 68k
* Every now and then the SMIOC stalls for a bit, it seems to be due to spending some time trying to communicate with the 8051 CPU (used to communicate with another cpu on the serial breakout box) that is not currently present in the emulated device.
Next Steps:
* We're going to move the terminal from the r9751 into the SMIOC, and hook it up to the DMA controllers as a hacky temporary solution.
* We need to emulate the 5xxxx memory range in SMIOC to proxy data to/from the 68k memory
* Then we'll start work on emulating the octal uart properly and hooking it up to RS232 channels.
commit ca91614fca3f43d87755d0c3439521276d7bfafb
Author: Stephen Stair <sgstair@akkit.org>
Date: Wed Mar 14 19:52:04 2018 -0700
Tinkering to get SMIOC further along
1) Enable 188 cpu to advance DMA immediatley if DRQ is held high when source synchronous DMA is started (It's not clear whether the DMA actually works this way yet)
2) Retrigger the DMA DRQ when a memory access is made to the DMA window (future work needed to proxy the reads/writes to the 68k's main memory) This is needed to support multibyte DMA reads/writes to the 68k window.
3) Reverse the bytes in the status register (based on current incomplete understanding of how this is encoded)
4) Connect the status register back to the r9751 on SMIOC status read
Current state: SMIOC's main board DMA state machine now completes the DMA transfer from the main board (With incorrect data), but we are still getting stuck.
Next steps: SMIOC is now hanging waiting on DMA to UART to complete, we need to implement some emulation of the UART and its connections to the surrounding 16 dma channels in order to make progress.

Experimenting with SMIOC emulation
* Partial fixes for line state issues with persistent line values
When the AM9517 DMA controller mode is updated to change the polarity of DACK/DREQ, it doesn't update the DACK line values / request values (respectively).
This fixes this issue for one of the emulated devices in the file, but the other device has the same problem.
* Add skeleton of SCC2698B UART device
* Early progress on emulating SCC2698B Octal UART
Core structure for IO lines and writing registers is in place.
* Update address maps to new format.
* SCC2698b: Add tx/rx, baud rate generation
* Emulation improvements for scc2698b device
* MPP output pins emulated
* Improved logging for baud rate changes
* Channel configuration emulated
* Support for TX/RX Enable
* Started integrating new features into SMIOC
* Minor progress on the path to enabling new UART for SMIOC
* Resolved code issues related to upstream changes
* Working around an apparent problem with callbacks on sub-device devices
* Terminal added for serial port attached to SCC2698B UART.
* Things compile and seem to work.
* SMIOC: Serial is now outputting correctly through emulated SMIOC
Some glitches to work out, but this is nearly ready.
* AM9517a should not forget about input line status on master reset.
* Disable tracing
* SMIOC: Improving diagnostics and making some progress on the emulation
* Revised tracing in SMIOC and SCC2698B
* Improved tracing approach in r9751
* Minor progress towards working SMIOC emulation.
* [R9751] Update drivers to new code patterns after rebase
Rebased on latest mame, Fixed a few issues and updated the callback code patterns based on recent changes in devcb
* [R9751] Improve logging, fix interrupt race
Serial no longer drops output characters
* [R9751] Working on SMIOC emulation
Improved SMIOC emulation accuracy, Made some progress in getting through the disktool initialization sequence, but we are still hitting a problem - It looks like disktool should be resetting the SMIOC board when it starts, but the mechanism for this has not been found.
* [R9751] Improve tracing for system board registers
* [R9751] Improve SMIOC emulation
Still having some trouble with SMIOC but this seems to be an improvement.
SMIOC is now waiting for a status to be read before applying a new status, and mandatory parameter read logic is in place.
* [R9751] Incremental emulation improvements
the SMIOC failure was understood and fixed, and a new approach to getting the hardware to bootstrap correctly was implemented - Still having some problems with it though.
* [R9751] Fixed emulation issues
* Disktool now boots to the console
* UART receive only partly working, I don't think it's fully connected yet.
* [R9751] Further progress on SMIOC emulation
* Figured out the missing command parameter interface to the SMIOC board
* Still blocked because the SMIOC interface to the breakout board through an onboard 8051 is not emulated and the disktool software depends on properties coming from it.
* [R9751] Terminal is fully working for disktool
* Improved the emulation of the 80188 to 451 connection in order to reliably set a status bit disktool depends on.
* [R9751] Fix build after rebase
* [R9751] Cleanup, tracing improvements
* Remove second emulated terminal - SMIOC is now stable enough to run the terminal.
* Remove older and unnecessary emulation/tracing code
* r9751: Fix compile error and modify copyright holders
Zilog Z8038 FIO (FIFO Input/Output Interface Unit). Used to drive the parallel/printer port on the MIPS Rx2030. Passes basic diagnostic tests, but further work depends on progress in the mips.cpp driver.
A driver for machines made by MIPS Computer Systems, which used MIPS R2000, R3000 and R6000 CPUs and ran RISC/os (a port of UNIX System V Release 3). Initial focus is the RC2030 headless workstation. As of this commit, it gets part-way through its I/O processor diagnostics with output to a serial terminal.

Also add notes to Sun keyboard emulation.
There's a hack to make the 1200 Baud mouse actually run at 9600 Baud.
This is necessary because the SCC is incorrectly expecting 9600 Baud
rather than 1200 Baud. I don't have time to fix the SCC, so I'd
appreciate it if someone else would.
There's no way it should be expecting 9600 Baud on the mouse port.
Solaris 2.3 and later support 1200 Baud and 4800 Baud, and earlier
versions support 1200 Baud only. No version of Solaris works with a
9600 Baud mouse.
The workaround allows the mouse to be used in SunView on sun4_60 - I
haven't tested any other drivers.

Four Trax (Japan) [ShouTime, The Dumping Union]
note, one of the gfx roms in the MAME set has an 'fx2' label, it should be verified.
also replaced the ROMs for the fourtraxa set, the old ones had a 0x00 fill instead of a 0xff fill but were otherwise identical, it's a weird mod of the World set that hides most of the advertising banners, replacing them with generic ones, presumably for legal reasons?
- Add and identify some extra IOC firmware revisions (v1.3 from Bitsavers)
- More descriptive names for ROMs of latest IOC revision (from Bitsavers)

Add MCFG_SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS. (nw)
Added coin counters to markham, strnskil, banbam and clones.
* proposal: move z80daisy* to devices/machine
Seems to me this is a machine, not a CPU? Main reason was to stop the Z80 CPU from being dragged into systems that don't have one just because they use a Z80 family peripheral.

* missed a spot (nw)
* interpro: slotify mouse (nw)
Needed to make the mouse a slot device to enable it to be connected to graphics boards under development.
* add validity check (nw)
* bt45x: new devices
Basic implementation of various Brooktree RAMDAC devices. Two of these (bt457, bt458) are used by InterPro graphics boards currently under development, the others are unused/untested at this point.
* bt45x: tweak descriptions (nw)
Start replacing special device macros with additional constructors,
starting with ISA, INTELLEC 4 and RS-232 buses.
Allow an object finder to take on the target of another object finder.
(For a combination of the previous two things in action, see either the
INTELLEC 4 driver, or the Apple 2 PC Exporter card. Also check out
looping over a device finder array to instantiate devices in some
places. Lots of things no longer need to pass tags around.)
Start supplying default clocks for things that have a standard clock or
have all clocks internal.
Eliminate the separate DEV versions of the DEVCB_ macros. Previously,
the plain versions were a shortcut for DEVICE_SELF as the target. You
can now supply a string tag (relative to current device being
configured), an object finder (takes on the base and relative tag), or
a reference to a device/interface (only do this if you know the device
won't be replaced out from under it, but that's a safe assumption for
your subdevices). In almost all cases, you can get the effect you want
by supplying *this as the target.
Eliminate sound and CPU versions of macros. They serve no useful
purpose, provide no extra checks, make error messages longer, add
indirection, and mislead newbies into thinking there's a difference.
Remove a lot of now-unnecessary ":" prefixes binding things relative to
machine root.
Clean up some miscellaneous rot.

Skannerz TV [Sean RIddle, Peter Wilhelmsen]
This will need the communication protocol with the barcode scanner unit reverse engeering (the scanner unit has it's own MCU that isn't dumped and for which we have no method of dumping) this also probably means it will need improvements to the general vii.cpp handling of interrupts and serial ports (which Cricket needs too)
also made rainbow islands extra a parent, since it has it's own game code, own c-chip and is generally considered a semi-sequel rather than a bugfix / revision of the original game.
(best I can tell behavior matches the differences between original and extra that were present in the simulation at least, but obviously the real chip could be hiding more secrets)

* add support for dumped superman c-chip too, removed simulation [Team Caps0ff]
also made the 68k and upd7810 use different banked windows into the RAM, this seems to prevent the fighting I was seeing, and also superman suggests that it might be correct, as it puts response values in a bank for the 68k but then changes the window so the 68k can't see them. needs further testing tho (other c-chip dumps might tell us more later)

An implementation of the National Semiconductor DP8510 BITBLT Processing Unit. This is used on the InterPro GT family graphics boards, and this implementation seems to be correct enough to enable me to progress there, hence the PR.

* Added support for the alternate character set (use dip switch to
change)
* Cleaned up and added save state support to the 80 column device
Many changes in this PR, including the following:
* added support for InterPro 20x0, 24x0 and 27x0 systems
* added support for SR bus/slot devices
* added support for Ethernet, graphics, keyboard and mouse
* added support for serial DMA
* improved timer, interrupt and DMA handling
* improved comments/documentation
Note: ioga is still a major work in progress, and most of the other *ga's don't do anything useful yet, however this build can do some new and useful things, and it's closer to OS boot than before, as well as cleaned up in some of the better known areas.
* added basic support for the system bus variously referred to as SR, SR bus, SRX and CBUS
* added an initial GT graphics card implementation, only supports the video ram and ramdac for now, but sufficient to boot the diagnostic monitor in graphics mode
* added a high-level emulation of the InterPro keyboard
protection handled etc. written from scratch based on notes from Kevtris and Peter
banking in the slot system seems somewhat archaic compared to proper modern banking, but this is how all other drivers I saw using slot roms did it.

unkfr belongs in 4enraya (which was my guess when it was mentioned)
doesn't seem much point in having a complete non-working driver in the source for it when it boots as a romswap.
Basic system is done and it can boot from floppy, but there are still
many things to add, therefore marked as NOT_WORKING for now.
New machines added as MACHINE_NOT_WORKING
-----------------------------------------
Kontron PSI98 [Dirk Best, rfka01]
These humble 16-pin logic devices were commonly used in 8-bit arcade games to control coin counters/lockouts, IRQ flipflops, graphics banking, slave CPU reset lines, discrete audio triggers, screen flipping, serial EEPROMs and much else. Over 100 drivers and a few bus devices have been updated to use the new implementation, and a great deal of research has gone into documenting the physical location of these devices on actual PCBs in the source. Write handlers have been provided for both orthodox and somewhat less conventional memory mappings.
Incidental to this update, coin counters and/or lockouts have been added to Atari System 1 games, Basketball, Gauntlet, Gyruss, Hana Yayoi, Hole Land, Jr. Pac-Man, Mahjong Sisters, Pooyan, Roc'n Rope, Squash, Thunder Hoop, Time Limit, Time Pilot '84 and many others. This also cleans up coin counter behavior in Sauro and Rally Bike.
(nw) The purpose of committing this change, which has been several months in the making, early in the 0.189GIT cycle will be to allow time for fixing potential regressions; I've fixed a number of drivers that lost sound from this for various reasons (hnayayoi.cpp having missing or garbage ADPCM was particularly painful, since the three games in that driver all work slightly differently), but I can't test all affected drivers exhaustively. @Tafoid, don't bother running automated screen capture comparison tests on this, as many drivers are now expected to have the screen flipped for the first few seconds after reset.
- made ds5002fp store internal ram and sfr registers to nvram as they're battery backed
- this includes the 'configuration' details which are actually programmable, so don't belong in the 'MACHINE_CONFIG' section but rather as part of the default NVRAM
- as the exact format of the NVRAM storage is not known, and as not to break compatibility with the 'wrally' set Gaelco offer these bytes are now configured in the ROM LOADING like default NVRAM. Slightly awkward, but probably the best way.
- made the SRAM (external to DS5002FP, but still powered by the same battery) also save content, some games actually use it to store scores etc. as well as the game code.
- cleaned up the Touch and Go Dallas dump, and added some preconfigured internal RAM so that it actually loads the score data from the SRAM properly
- prepared all other drivers for the adding of the SRAM dumps, removing old 'never going to work' simulation code in the process. To do this a wrapper / interface device for the Gaelco Dallas + SRAM box was created.
out of whatsnew
Alligator Hunt was dumped and works, but not yet added, want to verify on a 2nd PCB first as the process does corrupt some bytes and a couple had to be handfixed, so the only way to know for sure is multiple dumps.
- Merge driver with goldnpkr.cpp source to get working sound (graphics and sound should be identical)
- Add version numbers to set names
- Promote megadpkrb to WORKING (with one caveat)
What works:
* HP85A machine with 16K of RAM
* Capricorn CPU works
* Keyboard works (with minor issues)
* CRT text / graphics modes work (correct speed is not emulated yet so service ROM complaints)
* BASIC is usable
What is missing (and I'll have hopefully working soon):
* HW timers
* Beeper
* Integral printer
* DC100 cassette drive
* Extension ROMs
* I/O modules (especially the HPIB interface so that we can hook up floppy drives)
* Other models in the family (e.g. HP86)
create a uPD78C11 derived CPU type for this purpose, with internal ROM map
use internal ROM map for other uPD78C10 chips as it's always present.
add missing NO_DUMP definitions to various games using C-Chips with correct size etc.
pump megablast through the device code as really all it ever does is bank the c-chip window and test the RAM.
* Implemented front panel mode switches/LEDs and reset switch
* Added skeleton bus for "universal" slots and connected control lines
(nw) Default keyboard mapping is annoying because left shift, Z and X
are used both for typing into the TTY and switching program bank. You're
better off changing the mapping to make it less annoying or using a
socket and talking to it with telnet.
* Renamed to MCS-40.
* Emulated 8-clock instruction cycle, interruptible at any point.
* Converted TEST input to an input line.
* Added SYNC and CM output lines.
* Added support for 4040 CY output, logical operations, extended registers, ROM banking and disassembly.
* Made I/O space mapping more flexible to support the variety of peripherals available.
* Notable missing features are 4040 interrupt and halt, and "program memory" space.

Spirit of 76 [PinMAME]
New not working clone
-----------------------------------
Black Knight 2000 (PF-1) [PinMAME]
* Tromba (trumpet) sound is not working - requires Schmitt trigger device
* Connecting cassa (bass drum) swamps other instruments so it's disconnected for now
* Mixing melody sound with speech/SFX is not done in netlist (should be)
* Relative levels of melody/speech/SFX are probably still wrong
(nw) A good test case for this is the Money Money driver (monymony).
There's a bit of buzzing on this one as well. The problem with the
cassa could be caused by running into non-ideal characteristics of opams
again (the LM3900 seems to ignore the V+ value supplied to it). When
the netlist library gets Schmitt trigger support, the tromba can be
completed. Unfortunately, the tromba is a key part of the
characteristic sound of these boards, so you really notice when it's
lacking.
(nw) It doesn't work quite right yet. The "Hammer" and "Pest" sounds
are generated by free-running 555/556 timers and gated with LM324
applifiers. For whatever reason, the netlist system produces a kind of
buzzing from the "Hammer" circuit when it's supposed to be suppressed,
and it doesn't think the pest sound should be suppressed completely so
you can always hear it at a low level in the background. The "Cheese"
circuit is a bit weird - either they're using the base-emitter junction
of a 2SC945 as a signal diode, or there's an error in the schematic
(collector is shown unconnected). Connecting this part of the circuit
causes the netlist system to hang, so R2/R3/C8/Q2 are not connected for
now.
The core changes are:
* Short name, full name and source file are no longer members of device_t, they are part of the device type
* MACHINE_COFIG_START no longer needs a driver class
* MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED_CLASS is no longer necessary
* Specify the state class you want in the GAME/COMP/CONS line
* The compiler will work out the base class where the driver init member is declared
* There is one static device type object per driver rather than one per machine configuration
Use DECLARE_DEVICE_TYPE or DECLARE_DEVICE_TYPE_NS to declare device type.
* DECLARE_DEVICE_TYPE forward-declares teh device type and class, and declares extern object finders.
* DECLARE_DEVICE_TYPE_NS is for devices classes in namespaces - it doesn't forward-declare the device type.
Use DEFINE_DEVICE_TYPE or DEFINE_DEVICE_TYPE_NS to define device types.
* These macros declare storage for the static data, and instantiate the device type and device finder templates.
The rest of the changes are mostly just moving stuff out of headers that shouldn't be there, renaming stuff for consistency, and scoping stuff down where appropriate.
Things I've actually messed with substantially:
* More descriptive names for a lot of devices
* Untangled the fantasy sound from the driver state, which necessitates breaking up sound/flip writes
* Changed DECO BSMT2000 ready callback into a device delegate
* Untangled Microprose 3D noise from driver state
* Used object finders for CoCo multipak, KC85 D002, and Irem sound subdevices
* Started to get TI-99 stuff out of the TI-990 directory and arrange bus devices properly
* Started to break out common parts of Samsung ARM SoC devices
* Turned some of FM, SID, SCSP DSP, EPIC12 and Voodoo cores into something resmbling C++
* Tried to make Z180 table allocation/setup a bit safer
* Converted generic keyboard/terminal to not use WRITE8 - space/offset aren't relevant
* Dynamically allocate generic terminal buffer so derived devices (e.g. teleprinter) can specify size
* Imporved encapsulation of Z80DART channels
* Refactored the SPC7110 bit table generator loop to make it more readable
* Added wrappers for SNES PPU operations so members can be made protected
* Factored out some boilerplate for YM chips with PSG
* toaplan2 gfx
* stic/intv resolution
* Video System video
* Out Run/Y-board sprite alignment
* GIC video hookup
* Amstrad CPC ROM box members
* IQ151 ROM cart region
* MSX cart IRQ callback resolution time
* SMS passthrough control devices starting subslots
I've smoke-tested several drivers, but I've probably missed something. Things I've missed will likely blow up spectacularly with failure to bind errors and the like. Let me know if there's more subtle breakage (could have happened in FM or Voodoo).
And can everyone please, please try to keep stuff clean. In particular, please stop polluting the global namespace. Keep things out of headers that don't need to be there, and use things that can be scoped down rather than macros.
It feels like an uphill battle trying to get this stuff under control while more of it's added.

with the following games
Time Scanner (TS 2.0, Magnet System, prototype)
Exzisus (EX 1.0, Magnet System, prototype)
Xain'd Sleena (SC 3.0, Magnet System, prototype)
this is a checkpoint, there is a sizeable ToDo list but I think this is a good enough state for initial inclusion before working out the remaining issues. ArcadeHacker has the hardware working for questions etc.
I would especially appreciate help with sound (haven't a clue how it hooks up, tried lots of things, no luck) and some help in going over the CPU comms, especially with the sprite CPU as I think I must be missing something important. Likewise help from somebody more familiar with the floppy code from MESS so that it can use that, I had no luck in getting it to work with the copy protection or from a rom region, I've kept all floppy related code in a device so it's very easy to swap out so for now what I've got isn't intrusive.
note, very weird idea for a system, they've ported 3 arcade games from other manufacturers, original titles were advertised, but it's likely nothing more of the system exists.
the system uses 5 PCBs, one Z80 on each and instead of having dedicated sprite / tilemap chips they have the Z80s doing software rendering, using 8bpp framebuffers. 2 of the boards are for background planes, 1 of the boards is for sprites. The hardware has various memory expansions which look like afterthoughts as they're addressed in strange ways.
ataxx: Fixed missing sound channel caused by one dac not being hooked up and one dac being hooked up to two addresses.
bestbest: Fixed high pitch screech caused by incorrect addressing (two dacs weren't hooked up and two were hooked up to two addresses).
cchasm: Fixed static noise generation caused by feeding the same bit to both dacs.
cheekyms: Slightly improved sound by implementing sound triggers as 8 x 1 bit dacs instead of 1 x 8 bit dac.
galeb: Fixed sound by implementing it according to http://www.deltasoft.com.hr/retro/galebemu.htm & implemented enough of LOAD/SAVE to stop it hanging.
hard drivin: (all games in driver) Improved 12 bit controls, although centre still goes out of sync.
mea8000: Converted to a sound device.
megaphx: Fixed noisy samples due to wrong format.
microvsn: Fixed sound pitch caused by incorrect usage of write_signed8().
seicross: Changed to a 4 bit dac as samples are packed nibble.
spaceg: Preliminary sound using space invaders samples.
suna8: Changed to a 4 bit dac as samples are packed nibble.
vcombat: Fixed static during machine gun fire due to incorrect dc offset removal.
vectrex: Fixed noisy samples due to wrong format.
wheelfir: Fixed sound, eeprom & analogue steering wheel and brake pedal.
this is similar to, but not identical to goldstar.cpp / skylncr.cpp. it might be possible to merge it in, however my gut feeling is that said driver should be split up into different machine types all using some generic but fleixlbe video device that can handle these 8x8 tiles, 8x32 reel cases as most of them are based on the same basic concepts, just with their own tweaks.
reels, sounds, inputs are not hooked up here.

Mahjong Senpu [system11. David Haywood]
displays the game image, upside down, no palette for now, no inputs for now, no sound for now, going to continue work on it.
Use: ./mame vgmplay -bitb file.vgm/vgz
Lots of chips missing, no visualization, no control of anything, no
volume control either, and no sound shutdown on end of file.
Air Raid, Street Fight and Dark Mist all basically use very similar video systems (4 layers, 2 of them being ROM based tilemaps, a CLUT prom for each layer which controls colours and transparency handling)
this takes some steps towards allowing a common implementation of it.
- Button mappings completely reworked: grey bidding/suit selection buttons classified as keypad inputs and put in correct order, and other buttons as console-standard Start, Select, Button 1-2
- Inputs now read through PIO instead of RAM addresses, making them less hypersensitive
- Manufacturer/publisher is Unicard, as manuals and system/cartridge labels clearly state
- Added release years for some common cartridges
- (nw) Link bbcbc in its own library rather than the unrelated libacorn ("make clean" strongly recommended)
- Create a SG-1000 expansion slot.
- Hook up the SG-1000 expansion slot to sg1000.cpp and sms.cpp (sg1000m3).
- Split the sk1100 code from sg1000.cpp and attach it to the new expansion slot.
- Create a new FM Sound Unit device and attach it to the new expansion slot.
- For the sc3000 driver, re-add sk1100 as a fixed SG-1000 expansion device.

sms2br - Tec Toy Master System II (Brazil)
smsbr - Tec Toy Master System III Compact (Brazil)
sms1paln - Tec Toy Master System I (PAL-N)
sms2paln - Tec Toy Master System II (PAL-N)

Brazil is PAL-M TV system, but I decided to call it by the
country name, seems to be better recognizable and for
emulation looks more like a NTSC system. PAL-N is used
in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay and looks closer to
the European PAL system when compared to PAL-M.

V-Tech V-Smile Pro [TeamEurope]
out of whatsnew: also added a couple of discs which were dumped by
TeamEurope as well, and converted other German discs to CHD v5.
- Separate watchdog implementation from running_machine (once again) and driver_device
- Old-style methods, now hidden behind #ifdefs, will probably be safe to remove soon
exploit slot devices: [Fabio Priuli]
- moved cart-specific components to the carts itself removing
the fake protection devices from the main system, since they
never belonged there
- removed hacky rom region destruction/construction when a
new cart is inserted, replacing it with proper bank pointers to
the carts (except for ymsnd and ymsnd.deltat region which
will require modernization of the ym devices)
- started re-organization of bootleg boards emulation, so to
reduce the need of collapsing everything into a single cart
type with multiple protection devices, more work is needed
neopcb.cpp: moved to a separate source file the emulation for
JAMMA PCB versions of a few neogeo games, since they don't
have a cartslot. [Fabio Priuli]
neogeo.xml: added information about Japanese titles and
release dates to the software list and aligned the list to the

intvecs: Converted hand controllers, keyboard and synth to be slot devices,
by using a temporary hack to workaround the impossibility to plug the same
device into 2 different slots as these keyboard require. [Fabio Priuli]
out of whatsnew: in the long term we need to come up with a core solution
for these devices that occupy multiple slot devices at once (another one is
the VCS Compumate which plugs into both VCS control ports), because the
hack I used (a "fake" control port which acts as a passthru for the two real
control ports) is not really satisfactory. However, current solution is better
than the selectable controllers we had, which were (ab)using
PORT_CONDITIONs...

note this is NOT the same build of the game that Chris Hardy has, his looks more polished / finished, so this seems to be an earlier build / prototype. I don't know if the hardware is the same or not.
Still working on this.
tandy1t: make the shared vram actually work and use banking (nw)
--
Some of the tandy's will show garbage on the screen when booted, it's the memory test overwriting the shared vram
- Added skeleton for the Didact md6802, the successor, not yet functional
- Added skeleton for Esselte 100, another Didact design with a CRT and real keyboard, no ROM dumped yet
* Decode PLA bitstream and use for video mixing
* Document colour format and make up usable colour values
* Implement shell and area effects
* Use proper video timings - yes there is blank space on the right
* Add PLA from lazarian to laserbat as bad dump as it's needed now
* Yes it's impossible to get black because there's no LSB for blue
* Colours are still wrong, but at least it's only the intensities now
* There are still alignment issues between layers
* catnmous is completely broken, need schematic for PLA hookup
