Since it's driven by a HD647180X0CP6 (Subsino - SS9600)
plus SS9601 and SS9602 (for video and I/O respectively),
it's possible that needs to be moved to a new driver in
a near future. Also added technical notes. [Roberto Fresca]

Subject: [HD63701]Fix slp opcode
To: submit@mamedev.org
Fixed SLP opcode basing on HD63701 and HD6303 datasheet.
This is need for psion driver in MESS, but I did some testing in MAME
and I have not seen regressions.
Probably nobody noticed this before because this opcode is almost
unused in arcade machine.
If you want have a confirmation of this you can see the diagram at
page 14 of the HD63701 datasheet or at page 24 of the HD6303
datasheet, where it is clear that the "sleep cancel signal" is not
conditional at the IRQ mask.

To: submit@mamedev.org

- Hide quoted text -
Hi mamedev,
One minor problem I noticed awhile ago is a discrepancy between
romload.c and info.c. Romload.c will load a rom for a clone from any
of its parents, but info.c only considers roms in the immediate
parents to be merge roms. This patch fixes that, making info.c search
all parents for merges. In practice this can only go to two parents
(a parent and a bios) due to constraints in validity.c, but that's
enough for it to affect a few games in suprnova.c (e.g. galpani4k).

Hi mamedev,
This patch fixes bug 03318, a crash associated with -burnin on vector
games. -burnin doesn't work for vector games (they lack bitmaps), but
at least it won't crash anymore. I also fixed the code to not assume
the bitmaps were identically sized. update_burnin made that
assumption, but finalize_burnin did not in some places.

Terminator 2 - Judgment Day (rev LA4 08/03/92) [Gor, Smitdogg, The Dumping Union]
- Updated parse_ini_file so before INI is loaded set of driver name is done, and therefore needed callback is executed.
This fixes issue that when running MESS you are able to mount images even if you did not start driver directly, before this change we got unknown ini options warnings. (no whatsnew)

Sega Club Golf 2006 Next Tours (Rev A) (GDX-0018A) [Team Europe, Joerg Hartenberger]
First to go is devtag_get_device() (what a stupid name).
Use machine->device() instead.
This was strictly a bulk replace:
Search: devtag_get_device([ \t]*)\(([ \t]*)([^,]+),[ \t]*
Replace: \3->device\1\(\2
- listsoftware option now return only original software lists
- UI is updated to enable mounting software items per device, it will display only items from list that are for specific device
- Separate compatible software lists in UI
devices. Debugger now creates one for each device. C++-ified most
debugger operations to hang off the debugging class, and updated
most callers. This still needs a little cleanup, but it fixes most
issues introduced when the CPUs were moved to their own devices.
Got rid of cpu_count, cpu_first, cpu_next, etc. as they were badly
broken. Also removed cpu_is_executing, cpu_is_suspended,
cpu_get_local_time, and cpu_abort_timeslice.
Some minor name changes:
state_value() -> state()
state_set_value() -> set_state()
Exerizer (Japan) [N. Francfort, blib, Smitdogg, The Dumping Union]
roms are a mixup of Sky Fox and the bootleg, but they've been dumped from an original board (and label are correct)
- Software list xml files are now read in full such that information for clone and parent sets is available.
- Added validity check to check for existence of parent sets.

Model Racing Shooting Game (unknown title) [Luigi, Volker Hahn, Team Europe]
Out Run 2 (Rev. A) [GDX-0004A] [Team Europe, The Dumping Union, Alex]
DECLARE_LEGACY_CPU_DEVICE and DEFINE_LEGACY_CPU_DEVICE. Changed CPUs
to be their own device types, rather than all of type CPU with a
special internal subtype. Note that as part of this process I removed
the CPU_ prefix from the ALL-CAPS device name, so CPU_Z80 is just
plain old Z80 now. This required changing a couple of names like
8080 to I8080 so that there was an alphabetic first character.
Added memory interfaces to the list of fast-access interfaces. To do
this properly I had to add a separate method to devices which is
called immediately after construction, when it is possible to perform
dynamic_casts on fully-constructed objects. (This is just internal,
no changes necessary to the devices themselves.)
Some additional notes:
* SH2 and SH4 had typedefs that conflicted with their CPU_-less names
so I bulk renamed to structures to sh2_state and sh4_state; RB, feel
free to choose alternate names if you don't like 'em
* SCSP was caught doing something to the 3rd indexed CPU. Since several
systems that use SCSP don't even have 3 CPUs, I had no idea what
this was supposed to do, so I changed to it reference "audiocpu"
assuming that stv was the assumed target. This is really gross and
should be a configuration parameter, not a hard-coded assumption.
* created dynamic_bind<> template class to handle dynamically binding to
optionally-supported functions
* wrapped stack walking code in a class
* wrapped symbol lookup code in a class
* added support for parsing objdump-produced symbol dumps which include
non-global functions for much better stack dumps and profiling in gcc builds
Also: modified makefile for win32 targets to automatically run objdump and
produce a .sym file if SYMBOLS is enabled.

New clones added
----------------
Raiden DX (UK) [Irongiant]
out of whatsnew: the code is maybe not the ideal solution, but dipswitches were neither, imho. test mode shows no change in functionalities compared to the old code, but the new implementation makes a lot easier the actual use of shifter in-game
cpu_get_total_cycles() == cpudevice->total_cycles()
cpu_clocks_to_attotime() == cpudevice->cycles_to_attotime()
cpu_attotime_to_clocks() == cpudevice->attotime_to_cycles()
In some cases, I updated existing code that fetched and cached
devices to fetch them as cpu_device so that these can be called
without casting.
In other cases, I did the quick & dirty thing which was to downcast
a generic device to a cpu_device and then call the function.
Note that cpu_clocks_to_attotime() and cpu_attotime_to_clocks()
were previously mapping to the device-level functions
clocks_to_attotime() and attotime_to_clocks(). This was different
behavior than before the big devices change, so with this update
I have fixed it to match the previous behavior (i.e., map cycles
not clocks).
This may impact timing of drivers that used these functions on
CPUs that have clock dividers or multipliers.
cpu_get_total_cycles() which is now slow. Better to use the legacy_cpu_device
directly and call device->total_cycles() which avoids the dynamic_cast to find
the execute interface from a generic device.
Also added cycles_to_attotime() and attotime_to_cycles() which is more often
what is requested. (Clocks are the raw input clock, while cycles are internal
clock after dividers/multipliers.)
- always available now, just specify -profile <n> to enable it
- supports stack walking to uniquely identify call chains; the <n> parameter
to the -profile option specifies how deep to go
- automatically turns off throttling and multithreading, and sets the number of
processors available to 1 (since we only sample the main thread)
- output now uses the common symbol lookup, which actually uses the PDB for
MSVC builds and gives excellent results (may eventually figure out how to
extract gcc symbols someday)
- the top 30 unique call chains are output
running_machine definition and implementation.
Moved global machine-level operations and accessors into methods on the
running_machine class. For the most part, this doesn't affect drivers
except for a few occasional bits:
mame_get_phase() == machine->phase()
add_reset_callback() == machine->add_notifier(MACHINE_NOTIFY_RESET, ...)
add_exit_callback() == machine->add_notifier(MACHINE_NOTIFY_EXIT, ...)
mame_get_base_datetime() == machine->base_datetime()
mame_get_current_datetime() == machine->current_datetime()
Cleaned up the region_info class, removing most global region accessors
except for memory_region() and memory_region_length(). Again, this doesn't
generally affect drivers.
Comment: I was trying to get these now working sets 'running' (set up and configured) so I could write up the comments for the MAME FAQ. Does anyone have any experience with these?
