a limited capacity (e.g., for devices), but the existing copy-and-rebind
code would just cast the bound object without verifying the pointer was
of the correct type or pointing to the correct class in the hierarchy.
Objects that are late-bound must be derived from the delegate_late_bind
class at some point so that a dynamic_cast from delegate_late_bind to the
appropriate type succeeds.
Updated the address map and custom NVRAM handlers to do the right thing
with their re-binding.
Remove the old tokenizing helpers. Add basic classes for ports, fields,
settings, and dip locations as a first step. These will be fully cleaned
up later. Added machine() method to field to hide all the necessary
indirection. Changed custom/changed handlers into generic read/write
handlers, and added wrappers to convert them to device read/write
lines. [Aaron Giles]
MDEC is now an internal device of the PlayStation CPU [smf]
PlayStation DMA uses delegates so devices can be hooked up.
device_t::siblingdevice() uses device list on mconfig() so it can work before the machine is constructed.
moved unused console code back to mess.
- Updated modern macros to propagate device so it is possible to make modern maps for devices too
- Updated bsmt2000.c and mie.c as examples of modern address map devices

- Hooked up sound CPU interrupts properly, using the V35 builtin
interrupt controller, rather than generating the vectors in the
driver.
- Cleaned up ROM mirroring, using AM_REGION macros in the address
maps instead of memcpy()ing all over the place in the DRIVER_INITs.
- Converted bankswitching to use configured banks. Only configure the
banks and install the bankswitch WRITE_HANDLER in the games that
actually use it (i.e. those with a full megabyte of program ROM).
This and the previous change make the drivers a lot less confusing to
look at... I hope.
- Converted both drivers to use a scanline timer device instead of a
hand-rolled one.
- Added save state support to m92.c. Everything necessary was already
saved, I just had to add the tag. However, presumably due to the core
emu_timer breakage (MT 4330, 4331) the save states don't actually
work at the moment. I've already reported this as MT #4333
- Added GAME_MECHANICAL tag to wpksoc and clone
- "Ninja Baseball Batman" -> "Ninja Baseball Bat Man"--it's clearly
two words both on the game's title screen and even more obviously in
the flyer.
