Subject: [patch] More static qualifiers
Hi mamedev,
Another static function update from yours truly, almost entirely
affecting code added in the last few months to MAME. The fixes are
the usual lot, changing enum definitions so they aren't declared,
decorating dead code/declarations with #if...#endif, and of course,
adding static where appropriate. In addition, I fixed a bunch of
UNUSED_FUNCTON symbols to be spelled correctly (I didn't introduce
this).

Regressed in 126u3 due to a wrong tag. Fixed.

enclosed please find a patch which makes non-static two pointers to i/o handlers and includes them in megadriv.h. This makes possible for external drivers (in particular MESS genesis emulation) to define elsewhere their own input handlers and to feed them to the megadriv.c routines.

Hi,
enclosed please find a patch which fixes bug 2254. Tags were switched. Thanks to Haze for noticing the root of the problem.

fine and basic searching/playback/skipping is functional. Still a bit
glitchy.
Firefox improvements:
- removed need for deprecat.h
- memory map is complete from schematics
- gutted laserdisc hacks in favor of actual laserdisc implementation
- fixed all CPU and sound clocks
Removed old laserdsc.c implementation.
Added generic timer devices, which simply allocate a timer but don't
prime it. This is the preferred method for allocating timers, and may
eventually be the only mechanism for doing so in the future.
System 23:
* Added Rapid River readme
* Adjusted Gorgon h/w MIPS clock to 133 MHz based on readme
* Renamed GP500 to 500GP, which is it's correct name
Game Cristal:
* Use correct BIOS [f205v]
Uploaded to roms/current/g.
Includes mamedriv.c I missed with the System 23 checkin.
New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
------------------------------------
GameCristal (version 2.613) [ANY, f205v]
* Fixed text layer to show (colors are wrong)
* Added very preliminary support for Gorgon h/w
* Added Rapid River and an alternate Time Crisis 2
New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
------------------------------------
Rapid River (RD3 Ver. C) [Guru, R. Belmont]
Time Crisis 2 (TSS2 Ver. B) [Guru]
* Removes arbitrary opcode groupings in favor of flat decode model.
* Fixes a number of small issues with unknown opcodes.
* Added the final ALU parallel move ops.
I've ported Andreas' code over, it doesn't work for ms5pcb, there is probably an additional lineswap or something, I've asked him to look at it. Some of the bootlegs are still using decrypted roms but that should be correct IMO.

Subject: [patch] Make NBA Jam TE a set
Hi mamedev,
This patch treats NBA Jam TE versions as a set, rather than treating
them as clones of NBA Jam. The treatment of sets varies throughout
MAME, this choice is emphasizing the fact that the games were distinct
from NBA Jam, with different marquees et cetera.

After adding these, I downloaded all manuals for the driver (couldn't find a
Boulder Dash manual) and I validated the DIPs with the manual and ensured that
the service mode (when available) matched up as well. I also added DIP
LOCATIONS for all sets in the driver. There were also a couple DIP items set
up in the source which did not show in the manuals I obtained - so I noted
these facts in the driver.
This .DIFF is based on 0.127u3 sources and resolves MAMETesters Bug #01897.

due to bad roms had a fully working service mode. I also noticed the DIP
locations were well documented on-screen and differed some from the ones in
source. I took the time to read up on how to assign DIPs correctly - but I was
frustrated initially thinking I didn't understand it. I spoke to ETABETA about
this and it seems I picked an uncommon game/driver which doesn't have normal
mapping locations (for whatever reason) and that I'd need to find out what each
value is actually doing. As a result and some work and some more help - I was
able to understand how to do this and reworked the DIPs to what is output in the
service mode for all games (except for Revenger) which did not work enough at all.
While I was there, I added DIP LOCATIONS for all sets. I would assume this
eventually benefit from a PORT_CUSTOM implementation.

Subject: Patch for new dumps
Hi,
I have attached a patch which adds support for the following;
* The "Three Wonders (Hack?)" dump from the EMMA dumping team (I'm not
100% sure of the CPS B-ID this should use)
* The "Marvel vs. Capcom (Euro 980123)" dump by bonky_0013 (this becomes
the parent set).

Barry Harris
