This contains three different patches:
20080829.patch
Introducing the running_machine* parameter in a few more places. Next
step would be to make the execute_* function aware of it, if that's
OK. Also used the machine parameter in memory.c were it's available.
20080829_1.patch
The already discussed and probably being rejected removal of
dreprecat.h from debugger.h. I think this is a low-risk patch (we had
worse cleanups) and it lowers the risk of new code using deprecated
function beign introduced in MAME/MESS, because there is no invisible
inclusion of deprecat.h anymore (I think one driver - kofball.c - got
it with deprecated code).
20080829_2.patch
The last Machine -> machine conversion I had sitting in my local
tree. I know the proper way is to turn them into devices, but I still
haven't looked into that.
Each player now gets its own source file, along with new hooks
which enable more precise control over the behavior. Updated the
PR-8210 and LD-V1000 implementations to the new spec. Other
players will come online shortly.
Changed scan behavior so that it requires a constant stream of
signals to continue scanning. Updated ldplayer accordingly.
- Added irqs ack
- Implemented raster irq
- Fixed coin2 and service input not working during the game
- Added watchdog
- Fixed visible area
- Added video enable and irqs enable flags
renamed ikaria to ikarinc (for Ikari No Continues)
ikari is the JAMMA board, with conitnues
ikaria is the non-JAMMA board, with continues
ikarinc is the non-JAMMA board, without continues
New clones added
----------------
Ikari Warriors (US) [Nicola Salmoria]
Since I touch up a couple of things and test each driver after the automated merge, it still takes a few minutes for each file. More IO_MAP merges will trickle in over the next few days.
It's likely not worth writing every driver in the whatsnew.txt, since there will be ~100.
- Added Magic Joker.
- Fixed the 3rd background offset to Galaxi.
- Remapped inputs to match the standard poker games.
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status
---------------------------------------------------
Magic Joker (v1.25.10.2000) [Roberto Fresca]
* Adds MCS48_INTERNAL_ROMBANK define to header
* Drivers which need to control the ea line have to initialize banking for internal/external rom
This is not yet optimal but works as expected with existing drivers and modified mario.c
(not worth putting in whatsnew)
Please note, this does touch mario.c and dkong.c (two drivers which are currently undergoing modifications), but it does so unobtrusively. I also asked the proper parties before committing.
All games are tested and working after this patch.
