- MSM5205 hooked up through 40105 FIFO
- Various notes based on Z80 code and schematics for related pinball sound board
40105 device improvements (nw)
- Split up configuration macros
- Tweaked device name and device type name
- New callback for automatic output write
- A few bug fixes for so_w
- Many comments and pinout added
It doesn't have much in common with the other games in the driver. Also
clean up the implementation, make spriteram 8-bit, add some hardware
info and add button descriptions.
- Uses the standard 6840 PTM core for sound generation
- New MM583 Noise Generator device
- New DAC-76 DAC sound
- Use resistor network values for colors
- Use bankdev device for banking

- renamed a310->aa310 to avoid conflict with Amiga machines
- added all missing OS releases Arthur 0.30, RISC OS 2.01, RISC OS 3.00, RISC OS 3.10, RISC OS 3.19 (German)
- all machines default to OS (Arthur, RISC OS 2, RISC OS 3) they were shipped with
- corrected ROM labels/locations
- added default CMOS to boot to desktop
- mapped Acorn A4 Power Management extension
the bios and turn off JP1 as part of the installation. A v1 bios flash is included, but
you aren't forced to use it. [smf]
Moved G-NET protection out of ATAFLASH and into individual devices for each type of card [smf]
Implemented enough analogue control reading on ZN1/ZN2 for RC De Go & Go By RC [smf]
Fixed ZN1/ZN2 DSW descriptions [smf]
Added build dates and times to G-NET game descriptions [smf]
New machines added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status

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.
