are still intact. The new state_manager class has templatized methods
for saving the various types, and through template specialization can
save more complex system types cleanly (like bitmaps and attotimes).
Added new mechanism to detect proper state save types. This is much
more strict and there will likely be some games/devices that fatalerror
at startup until they are remedied. Spot checking has caught the more
common situations.
The new state_manager is embedded directly in the running_machine,
allowing objects to register state saving in their constructors now.
Added NAME() macro which is a generalization of FUNC() and can be
used to wrap variables that are registered when directly using the
new methods as opposed to the previous macros. For example:
machine->state().save_item(NAME(global_item))
Added methods in the device_t class that implicitly register state
against the current device, making for a cleaner interface.
Just a couple of required regexes for now:
state_save_register_postload( *)\(( *)([^,;]+), *
\3->state().register_postload\1\(\2
state_save_register_presave( *)\(( *)([^,;]+), *

Out of whatsnew: please leave the non-working games to me, I'll look at them next.
No-whatsnew explanation: this takes OPTIMIZE=3 compile time for this core from
over 1 hour down to about 2 minutes on PS3 Linux. (Yes, the tms57002 itself
took over an hour to compile before - the thing has 256 MB of RAM and
a very slow HDD so when it hits swap, swap hits back).
Comment: Even though you can play the games, there are so many other issues with unknown errors and graphic problems - might be worth putting in as NOT_WORKING?
timers into the scheduler. Retain TIMER devices as a separate wrapper
in timer.c/.h. Inline wrappers are currently provided for all timer
operations; a future update will bulk clean these up.
Rather than using macros which hide generation of a string-ified name
for callback functions, the new methods require passing both a function
pointer plus a name string. A new macro FUNC() can be used to output
both, and another macro MFUNC() can be used to output a stub-wrapped
class member as a callback.
Also added a time() method on the machine, so that machine->time() gives
the current emulated time. A wrapper for timer_get_time is currently
provided but will be bulk replaced in the future.
For this update, convert all classic timer_alloc, timer_set,
timer_pulse, and timer_call_after_resynch calls into method calls on
the scheduler.
For new device timers, added methods to the device_t class that make
creating and managing these much simpler. Modern devices were updated
to use these.
Here are the regexes used; some manual cleanup (compiler-caught) will
be needed since regex doesn't handle nested parentheses cleanly

Subject: cave.c savestate support + alpha
To: submit@mamedev.org
This patch contains the following changes to cave.c and toaplan2.c:
- Added savestate support to all games in cave.c. Most of the work was
already done by someone else; the blocker was a perpetually-running
anonymous timer, which I converted to an allocated timer.
- Changed OKI sample banking to use device address maps instead of
memcpy() in all cave.c games except the nmk112-based games. If someone
wants to try to convert nmk112.c to use device address maps and bank
pointers, be my guest--you'll need 8 banks of varying sizes per OKI chip...
- Fixed description of the Japanese Air Gallet set--the game's Japanese
title is "Akuu Gallet".
- Made machine/nmk112.c actually restore its state properly. Also
refactored it a little (if you can talk about refactoring a source
file that almost fits on one screen)
- Fixed bgaregga's nmk112 interface to work with the refactored nmk112.c.
- Removed excessive CPU interleaving from batsugun, left over from when
I was initially hooking up the V25.
- Removed a useless printf and some obsolete comments, more leftovers
from the process of hooking up the V25.
--AWJ--
- merged MESS CDi driver file with the MAME CDi driver file (used for Quizard)
- the cdimono1 system is now the parent / bios of Quizard, the Quizard games run on a retail CDi unit with Jamma adapter / dongle for protection so this is a logical step.

into one file, and separated the speaker device into its own file.
Generalized the concept of dynamically assigned inputs and re-wired the
speaker to work this way, so it is now treated just like any other
sound device. Added methods to the device_sound_interface for controlling
output gain and mapping device inputs/outputs to stream inputs/outputs.
Also made the sound_stream_update() method pure virtual, so all modern
sound devices must use the new mechanism for stream updates.
Primary changes outside of the core are:
stream_update(stream) == stream->update()
stream_create(device,...) == machine->sound().stream_alloc(*device,...)
sound_global_enable(machine,enable) == machine->sound().system_enable(enable)
Beyond this, the patterns are relatively obvious for the remaining calls.
Notes out of whatsnew.txt
* It's sure to have bugs, but it should get the job done for now.
* It's unbelievable how many typos (major or otherwise) docs like this have.
* I haven't heard from s_bastian about making the ROM images available in the
monkey project, but we'll have 'em up as soon as he pops up again.
* Does anyone know of any hardware that incorporated one of these? I'm looking
for things to disassemble in the meantime :).
- SoftList is incompelte, I hate working with the XML, if somebody wants to add the remaining titles, be my guest
- SMS games have issues, the CPU isn't being properly reset (or something) when moving between games, so stick to only a single SMS game for now or the z80 will crash.
It used to work, but the code has been out of use for a while.
- syntax is MAME megatech -cart1 mt_beast -cart2 mt_soni2 -cart8 mt_shar2
Notes out of whatsnew.txt
* This uses modern devices, but has not been tested in a driver yet, so I may
have done something wrong. I will fix it when the time comes.
* 60% of the disassembler is complete. I will finish it over the next few days.
* There are many similarities in execution to the dsp32, and the existing 32 code
will come in handy when it's time to write the execution engine.
* This thing is a pleasure compared to the dsp56k.
* Changed DRHL description to "Drews Revenge (v.2.89, set 1)"

- Now supports uPD7725 and uPD96050
- Hooked up SNES common code to use uPD96050 for ST-010/011

hooked up there soon.
* machine/megadriv.c + md_pcb.c (originally from MESS) -> machine/md_cart.c [since they only contained code to handle cart loading]
* first half of drivers/megadriv.c (the code shared by mtech/mplay/c2 with MESS) -> machine/megadriv.c [since these are the 'machine' functions shared by arcade and console systems]
* second half of drivers/megadriv.c (the part recently imported from MESS) -> it remains where it was [since it is 'driver'-specific, even if in this case it is a MESS driver]
* drivers/segamsys.c (SMS part of the code used for mtech/mplay) -> machine/segamsys.c [again, these are 'machine' functions]
among other things, this new setup makes the MESS-specific parts (machine/md_cart.c & drivers/megadriv.c) independent from the MAME files, i.e. if we ever decide to change the tree structure, it will be much easier to move these files in any other location of the tree without affecting MAME (or MESS) compile process

- Enable SHOW_AARON_BUG and compile
- Run any Naomi game with -debug (e.g. toyfight)
- Step to the MOV.L at 00000018
- Thrill to an aligned 32-bit write causing 2 incorrect writes to a 32-bit handler, complete with wrong offset. The memory system appears to think the 32-bit handler is a 16-bit handler or something.
This is a proof-of-concept commit. It works but is far from stable. Synchronization between two mame processes is *somehow* (trying to avoid hacked) in. However, this is not HLE. Shared memory is used to share the serial interface lines.
If the shared memory code is not enable, stub functions are used. If you set the link mode to master or slave, "not linked" will be shown in the game. That's better than the previous hang.
Please, no whatsnew.
Added a new stream_create that takes fewer parameters and calls the
device's stream update. Removed the stream update stub template.
Updated BSMT2000 and OKIM6295 to use the new interface for their
streams.

out of whatsnew: was there any reason for not accepting "-bios USA" when we accept "mame PACMAN" ?
if there was, please simply revert this change (I won't be offended)
Yes, it is intentional that the x86/x64 backends compile everywhere.
Backends are now derived from drcbe_interface and implement several
required overrides.
x86emit.h now uses namespaces so that the x86/x64 emitters can co-exist.
New file uml.h/uml.c actually describes the UML language, separating
out several concepts from drcuml.c.
Lots of other changes/fixes.
* Added fix for lamp 'open circuit' errors which in turn make Connect 4 work better.
* Fixed layout typo that caused the wrong piece to be displayed in Connect 4.
* Documented the DUART and PTM better in MPU4 to allow for sampled sound changes later.
* Changed 'serial_card_connected_ to link 7a, as it is the jumper on the ROM card that changes the IRQ priority, not the serial interface itself.
Somehow, I hadn't noticed my previous implementation only handled ROM loading and not CHD loading.
Now CHDs are handled too.
Next, I plan to reduce the duplicate code: I'd like not to have 2 copies of the code which takes the
locationtag in the format "list%setname%parentname" and returns the five strings of the locations
we try to load from: list, setname, parentname, list/setname and list/parentname...
- all list handling now based on dynamic_array_t (discrete.h)
- more code rewrite to get rid of fixed allocations.
- performance about the same as 0.140
- Also fixes bzone regression.
- Contexts have disappeared now. All modules use class level private variables now.
- Reorganized code and added more include files.
- This is still work in progress. It is working though.
out of whatsnew: I also have modified best match for softlists to return 10 results, like in MAME, given that now only the correct list is parsed (thanks to Micko's change)
out of whatsnew
1. summing up, you can now load roms through softwarelists from: listname/romset, listname/parent + now also romset & parent (like MAME)
2. there is a lot of repeated code, but I still haven't found a satisfactory way to handle the both loading processes in a single function. I'll keep looking into it!
out of whatsnew: to avoid too much duplicate code, I implemented this as follow:
for parent, we pass a location tag "list/parentname" to search for the roms (no
changes in this case); for clones, we pass a composed location tag
"list/clonename%list/parentname" (notice the '%' separator) and then it is
open_rom_file to split it, if it finds a %, before searching for the rom.
out of whatsnew, 2: I also added the same support for cassettes and floppies (in
devimage.c), but it is still commented out because I had only a few files for testing.
as soon as I'm sure nothing gets broken, I'll enable it.
out of whatsnew: I also added a couple of helpers which count softlist elements and scan a list up to the n-th element. these are very unoptimized (for large lists) but I found them useful for debugging a few quirks in my first implementation and therefore I'd like to have them in the source.
==========
A brief explanation of this change: MESS allows every system to mount software in image devices (cartslots, floppy drives, tape drives, etc.). This patch enable the usage for snaps of the name of mounted software.
More in detail: each image device have both a unique instance_name (e.g. Cartslot) and a unique brief_instance_name (e.g. cart). This patch adds a snapname template %d_XXXX, with XXXX=any brief instance of a device supported by the system, so that we can use as snapname the filename of the image currently mounted in the XXXX device. e.g.
-snapname %d_cart uses the filename of the mounted cart
-snapname %d_flop4 uses the filename of the disk mounted in the 4th floppy drive
Basically, if we launch
mess gba -cart sma -snapname %g/%d_cart/%i
and we press F12, we get a snap/gba/sma/0000.png
This is better than hardcoding the device names since some systems can have up to 16 carts (and then we would need to specify options up to cart16 + disks, tapes & cdroms etc.!!)
Of course, if a wrong brief name is used (or if no image is currently mounted in that device), then MAME/MESS falls back to the default %g/%i.
If we ever get to the point to use cartslot for megatech or pc10, this code will allow to save snaps using the shortname of any of the 10 carts inserted ;)
- all nodes are now class based
- removed all support for "legacy", i.e. procedural node functions.
- nodes are created using a class factory whose instances
are set up in discrete blocks. There is no separation of
node vs. module any longer.
- Custom modules are now just implemented like "normal" nodes.
- Converted all custom modules.
- Context variables can now be migrated to be private class members.

Sega Touring Car Championship (Newer)
Sega Touring Car Championship (Unknown Revision) [Brian Troha]
- Added GAME_MECHANICAL flag to mark games having mechanical interface (such as pinball,redemption, bowling games ...)
- Imported games from PinMAME as skeletons
that manually XORed addresses to pass the XOR instead.
This improves behavior when direct accessors hit non-RAM regions, or
when watchpoints are used, because we now know the original, un-xored
address and can fall back to standard read/write handlers properly.
Also fixes glitched disassembly when read watchpoints are enabled.
- Enhanced MMU with page fault support
- Preliminary 26-bit mode support
- Fixed bugs with S-flag operations on R15
- Fixed STRH involving R15
- Support for ARM models 7500 and 920T.
