driver_device base class. The palette base is now specified via an
AM_SHARE of "paletteram" or "paletteram2". The driver_device base
class now finds these pointers and places them in
m_generic_paletteram_8/_16/_32 and m_generic_paletteram2_8/_16/_32.
Removed machine.generic.paletteram*, and machine.generic entirely.
Removed AM_BASE_GENERIC/AM_SIZE_GENERIC as they don't apply anymore.
Changed required_/optional_shared_ptr to support set_target with
base and size for manually configuring a shared pointer, and a new
allocate method for dynamically allocating (and registering the
memory for save states).
A few subsequent cleanups are coming related to this, but wanted
to get this in before the next modern push.
- General update which fleshes out some of the 68307 code (not 100% correct hookups, just improved logging and enough to get us somewhere).
- Added various devices to the SC4 emulation, added a default layout showing the VFD, to which most of the earlier games will now write 'Initializing'. Timers and other devices still need to be implemented properly before they actually initialize.
- Put the actual SC4 hardware emulation in drivers/bfm_sc4h.c so that it doesn't get lost in the swamp of sets (scrolling through a file is quite hard when it's almost entirely set definitions)
- Fixes some issues and cleaned up the video sources a bit.
- Marked all appropriate games with a GAME_IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS flag (all of the old methods were imperfect toot hey just weren't marked for some reason).
Out of whatsnew:
Replaced the ac2-edata1-u.3c with ac1-edata1-u.3c in Air Combat as it's an interleaved rom with ac1-edata1-l.1c for both sets. Comparing the roms showed the AC2 version had 0xA0 in fields of 0x80 randomly where the AC1 rom had the correct 0x80.
rastan.c: Cleaned up Parent/Child order. Corrected ROM names and added additional information / notes. [Brian Troha]
