context ones (which are going away), the disassembler (which should
have no dependencies on the live CPU), and the validity check.
Removed global token from all pointer-ified CPU cores that don't
have internal read/write callbacks (which still need to reference it).
* added a set of cpu_* calls which accept a CPU device object;
these are now the preferred means of manipulating a CPU
* removed the cpunum_* calls; added an array of cpu[] to the
running_machine object; converted all existing cpunum_* calls
to cpu_* calls, pulling the CPU device object from the new
array in the running_machine
* removed the activecpu_* calls; added an activecpu member to
the running_machine object; converted all existing activecpu_*
calls to cpu_* calls, pulling the active CPU device object
from the running_machine
* changed cpuintrf_push_context() to cpu_push_context(), taking
a CPU object pointer; changed cpuintrf_pop_context() to
cpu_pop_context(); eventually these will go away
* many other similar changes moving toward a model where all CPU
references are done by the CPU object and not by index
* cpu/i8x41 should be renamed to UPI-4x, since UPI-41/42 was an intel chip family
postponed for now until core moved to pointers.
* removed I8041 definition from mcs48
* removed I8x41 cpu definition and config struct
* added I8041, I8741, I8042, I8242 and I8742 cpus to i8x41.c
* added internal memory maps
* internal ram now uses DATA memory space
* updated drivers
* increased interleave to 70 in decocass. This fixes decocass hanging in countdown around 13
No idea when this bug was introduced.

Subject: [patch] More header files for mame
Hi mamedev,
Here's another set of about 20 new include files for MAME. As before,
the only issues discovered by the migration were some dead prototypes.

Subject: [patch] New include files for drivers
Hi mamedev,
Here's a patch that adjusts a few existing include files, but
principally adds new include files for about twenty existing drivers.
This found a few dead prototypes, but otherwise didn't reveal any
errors.

Subject: [patch] Add ADDRESS_MAP_NAME macro
Hi mamedev,
In theory, MAME's interface macros should completely hide the naming
conventions from the drivers and sound/cpu cores. So as an
experiment, I renamed all the core apis and looked to see what broke.
The most common api coupling was with address maps in the CPU cores,
which this patch addresses by introducing a new macro,
ADDRESS_MAP_NAME (mimicing what is done in devintrf.h). There were a
handful of related problems in some drivers which this patch also
fixes. Some remaining issues I left alone (laserdisk apis reference
rom, video_update, machine_config, ksys573 use of nvram_handler,
megadriv use of ipt), in principle all the apis need _NAME variants to
encode the conventions.

I changed Psicho Nics Oscar (japan revision 0) to (world revision 0)
since there is no japan disclaimer
please find herewith attached a new game dumped from Russia.
The PCB has been lent by "Soviet Arcade Games Museum" www.15kop.ru
Dump and diff by "Antro" (my Italian friend living in Moskow)
Snezhnaja Koroleva [Antro]
* Added proper clock speed to plygonet.c and internal divider to dsp56k.c
* Fixed up disassembler add/sub, 05xx, and bsr ops.
* Handle mysterious uuuuF instruction found in plygonet add op.
* Partially implemented add, sub, mac, mpy, inc, cmpm, macr, asr16, jscc, lea, and movec ops.
* Added dual X memory read and data move with short displacement parallel moves.
* Merged DS5002FP
* Disassembler now uses type specific memory names
* Merged DS5002FP disasm
* added 83C751 memory names to disassembler
* delete DS5002FP specific files
* removed unnecessary cpu callback in wrally
* DATA_MAP ==> IO_MAP in wrally
* Fixed bitmap zooming in Virtual Mahjong 2 - My Fair Lady;
* Worked around a major graphic bug in ElanDoree;
* Added some missing alpha blending effects,Pro Mahjong Kiwame S title screen needs it but it doesn't work yet due to other problems (still investigating)
* Fixed a crash bug with Astra Super Stars when the debugger is active.
(this is to sync with svn tree,ST-V will be further improved on a later stage)
working on something, hold off syncing.
Defined macros for core CPU functions: CPU_INIT, CPU_RESET, CPU_EXIT,
CPU_EXECUTE, along with macros for the name and for calling, in the
spirit of the devintrf.h macros. More will come later.
Changed init, reset, exit, and execute interfaces to be passed a
const device_config * object. This is a fake object for the moment,
but encapsulates the machine pointer and token. Eventually this will
be a real device.
Changed the CPU IRQ callbacks to a proper type, and added a device
parameter to them.
Updated all CPU cores to the new macros and parameters.
Note that this changes the way we "pointer"-ify cores. I'll send an
update shortly.
