Subject: [patch] Convert toaplan1/2 to driver_data
To: submit@mamedev.org
Cc: atariace@hotmail.com
Hi mamedev,
toaplan1/2 had ~100 AM_BASE/AM_SIZE macros, so was a prime candidate
for conversion to driver_data (my goal is to eliminate those macros).
Just as I was finishing up that conversion, toaplan2 was partially
converted to driver_data, so before things change again, here's a
patch to convert the rest.
It's in two parts. The first patch is just some cleanup of the
drivers. The second patch is then the actual conversion.

* Decoded graphics and colors.
* Accurate inputs.
* Discrete sound.
* Default NVRAM support.
Xtal, CPU clock, and some discrete components values need to be
checked from PCB.
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status

Subject: [patch] Eliminate more exported non-const globals from MAME core

Hi mamedev,
This patch eliminates a few more non-const global vars coming out of
the MAME core. Vectorram/vectorram_size from vector.h in fact is
unused by the core, it's really for avgdvg support, and is also
confusingly used by segag80, so most of the patch is disentangling
those uses.

Hi mamedev,
I inexplicably missed the fact that taito_x depended on seta for video
support, so the driver_data conversion broke it. This patch fixes it.

Marked many roms on the two asia? sets of raiden fighters as bad pending redump, as the rom layout on the asian? spi pcb is different and several roms were clearly recombined into single roms. These need to be redumped for verification that the contents are the same.
renamed rdftdi to rdftadi

This patch fixes both affected games, as far as I can tell. Thanks for
the heads-up.

Subject: Re: Astrocade video update
To: submit@mamedev.org
Phil (or whoever else checks this),
Sorry for missing the Gorf case. I've hashed out the problem some
more on the message boards, and I now see that while Astrocade BASIC
calls the lightpen function on every scanline, Gorf calls it several
times per vblank on seemingly random scanlines. So, that explains why
the first fix didn't work. Looking at the code more closely, I see
why Astrocade BASIC was running out of timers. The
astrocade_trigger_lightpen function has a timer that doesn't expire
until the end of vblank. Since this can be called many times per
vblank, a bunch of timers could pile up. This happened on Gorf to
some extent, but not enough to reach the MAX_TIMERS of 256. But
Astrocade BASIC crashes every time. I changed the timer to only last
for that scanline, and this seems to work.
I tested this change in MAME and was able to play Gorf, Robby Roto,
Wizard of Wor, Extra Bases, Space Zap, Seawolf II, Professor Pac-Man,
and Demons & Dragons. In MESS, Astrocade BASIC is now usable, as well
as some of the BASIC-carts like Candyman and Super Slope. (Road Toad
doesn't run out of timers anymore, but is still unplayable for some
reason.) And I've tested lots of other carts with no problems.
Thanks,
Paul aka ranger_lennier

Hi everybody !
I made just a little work, i moved ssf2md in to aladinb.c driver and
renamed this one genesisb.c for create a new driver for all the
Genesis\Megadrive bootleg.
Bye Sonikos.
