Subject: Sound banking fix for galpani2
Hi, I'm submitting a fix for the current sound banking in galpani2 driver.
I still wasn't able to correctly place the extra sound rom in galpan2g,
but I moved it to oki1, as its pages size is similar.
I've also separated the inputs for gp2se, as it's service mode clearly
shows there are some diferences, mainly with the card dispenser dip.
From all of these, it's clear that this driver incuded 3 different types of
board: galpani2/galpan2t/galpan2g, galpan2j/gp2quiz and gp2se,
the code also reflects these grouping.
Some memory accesses were still not mapped, I've also added them.
It would be very useful to have a video recording of the original, there
are several graphic effects that clearly aren't correct.
And finally, a little something for the okim6295 source, getting rid of that
"magic" value for the sake of readability. ;-)
Keep on the good work.

Another round of static/const qualifier additions, plus a rename of

Dear MAME developers,
I've created the attached diff to src/emu/audit.c (0.129u5) to allow for
reporting a ROM state of "correct" when a game/machine doesn't require any
ROM files at all (currently it will be reported as "not found", which is

I hope you'll accept the patch.

Subject: Another speed up in 'src\mame\video\mcatadv.c'
Hi,
here is a patch against 'src\mame\video\mcatadv.c'
This patch , by re-arranging the code, give a +/- 5% speed up in the emulation.
Before, we :
- fetch a pixel,
- make some computation for lower/higher part of it
- check if we should render it
- test for priority
- update destination if necessary
With this patch, we check priority first in order to avoid useless processing and testing on pixel that can't be displayed due to priority reason. So in the best case, it is faster, in the worse case execution time should be more or less the same because :
if ((drawxpos >= cliprect->min_x) && (drawxpos <= cliprect->max_x) &&
pix)
is likely to be true (IMO). So the same tests are performed, only the order is different.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,

to names that capture the device type as well. Added validity
checks for the short-term to prevent the continuance of this
pattern (which I started :)
Changes:
CPU/"main" -> "maincpu"
CPU/"audio" -> "audiocpu"
CPU/"sound" -> "soundcpu"
SCREEN/main -> "screen" (since it's the only one)
Eventually, devices will be required to have unique tags within
a machine, regardless of type.
This was primarily added to allow for sound routes to be supported in a way that
is compatible with the current driver structure. A device can now define a
DEVICE_CUSTOM_CONFIG callback which is called whenever one of the
MCONFIG_TOKEN_DEVICE_CONFIG_CUSTOM_* tokens is encountered. A special token
MCONFIG_TOKEN_DEVICE_CONFIG_CUSTOM_FREE is defined to clean up memory allocated
and/or reset the custom configuration, and is called when the device is torn down
to allow for memory cleanup.
Reimplemented the sound routing using this new mechanism.
Please note: regression testing is in progress, but the first round
of glaring regressions have already been taken care of. That said,
there is likely to be a host of regressions as a result of this
change.
Also note: There are still a few rough edges in the interfaces. I
will try to clean them up systematically once the basic system is
working.
All sound chips are now proper devices.
Merged the sound chip interface into the device interface,
removing any differences (such as the whole ALIASing concept).
Modified every sound chip in the following ways:
* updated to match the device interface
* reduced read/write handlers down to the minimal number
* added the use of get_safe_token() for ensuring correctness
* other minor cleanup
Removed the custom sound device. The additional work to just make
custom sound cases into full devices is minimal, so I just converted
them all over to be actual devices.
Vastly simplified the sound interfaces, removing the ghastly
sndti_* business and moving everyone over to using tags for
sound identity. sndintrf, like cpuintrf, is now just a header
file with no implementation.
Modified each and every driver that references a sound chip:
* all memory maps explicitly reference the targeted device via
AM_DEVREAD/AM_DEVWRITE/AM_DEVREADWRITE
* 16-bit and 32-bit accesses to 8-bit chips no longer use
trampoline functions but instead use the 8-bit AM_DEVREAD/WRITE
macros
* all references to sound chips are now done via tags
* note that these changes are brute force, not optimal; in many
cases drivers should grab pointers to devices in MACHINE_START
and stash them away
- Created custom module for run sounds. Running the discrete sound system at 480KHz was not really optimal.
- Reviewed parts list, schematics and pcb pictures
- Brought mario run sound in line with recordings from Smitdogg
- VCO voltage needs to be 0V for this to happen. Verification outstanding
- Capacitors needed some ageing applied as well. To be removed once the VCO issue is clarified.

read/write functions and various other types of functions. Introduced new
structures and macros to make this possible.
To take advantage of this, a device must change its interface to replace and
read/write callbacks with the new devcb_read/write structures. During device
start time, the device then uses this new devcb module to resolve the information
in the devcb_read/write structures into a more efficient form. When the device
needs to call one of the callbacks, it uses the inline devcb_call_read/write
functions.
Once a device has defined its callbacks as devcb_read/write structures, users
of the device must use the DEVCB_* macros to specify the type and information
about the handler to use:
DEVCB_NULL = no handler
DEVCB_HANDLER = a standard device read/write handler
DEVCB_MEMORY_HANDLER = a memory address space read/write handler
DEVCB_DEVICE_HANDLER = a device read/write handler for a different device
DEVCB_INPUT_PORT = an input port
Converted the 8255PPI device to use this new structure, and updated all users
to use the DEVCB macros, removing some unnecessary trampoline functions along
the way.

Subject: [patch] Make SOUND_xxx pointers to SND_GET_INFO functions
Hi mamedev,
This patch probably should wait till after 0.129 goes out, but may be
of interest regardless. It makes the treatment of SOUND_xxx the same
as that of CPU_xxx. That is, they are function pointers to the
SND_GET_INFO routine for the sound.
The first patch just adds some missing include files and modifies a
few cases where a sound_type was used as an integer. This could go in
now. The second patch then adds the needed #defines to all the sound
headers (it assumes the previous patch I sent to add the SND_GET_INFO
declarations was applied), and modifies the sound code accordingly. It
also moves the sound clock to the device object. Note that the dummy
sound core is removed entirely. I cheated a bit and made VERIFY_SNDTI
also declare and fill in the sndnum, making this an INLINE function
would probably be more appropriate, but all of this code's days are
numbered.
There may be some performance loss in drivers that expect sndti_xxx
routines to be fast, since sound_matrix has been removed. The
performance however should be similar to looking up items in a
devicelist, so those drivers will have to adjust eventually.

- Added built-in dirty tile tracking to the gfx_element. This removes
the need for all drivers that had dynamically populated graphics
to do their own dirty tracking. Tiles are marked dirty via the
new function gfx_element_mark_dirty(). Any driver that needs access
to the decoded data must call gfx_element_get_data() in order to
ensure that the referenced tile is clean before proceeding.
- In order to support dirty tracking, the gfx_element was enhanced to
keep track of the original source pointer, so that it can go back
and regenerate tiles on demand. For systems that set NULL for the
region in the gfxdecode, they must use gfx_element_set_source()
to specify a pointer to the raw data before drawing anything.
- Changed allocgfx() to gfx_element_alloc(), and added parameters to
specify the source data pointer, base color index, and total colors.
Many drivers had to whack these values in after the fact, so this
allowed for some minor additional cleanup.
- Added a dirtyseq member to the gfx_element struct. This is
incremented on each tile dirty, and can be used to sniff if
something has changed.
- Added logic in the tilemap engine to track which gfx_elements are
used for a given tilemap, and automatically detect changes to the
tiles so that drivers no longer have to explicitly invalidate the
tilemap when tiles change. In the future, this may grow smarter to
only invalidate the affected tiles, but for now it invalidates the
entire tilemap.
- Updated a number of drivers to remove their own dirty handling and
leverage the new internal dirty marking.
- Because the source data must always be present, updated the atarigen
zwackery and mystwarr graphics handing code to support this.
- Thanks to the dirty tracking, this actually allows all gfx decoding
to happen on the fly instead of all at once up front. Since there
was some concern that this would cause undesirable behavior due to
decoding lots of tiles on the fly, it is controlled with a compile-
time constant in mame.h (PREDECODE_GFX). Set this to 1 to get the
old behavior back.
- Moved decodechar() and decodegfx() to deprecat.h. All drivers in MAME
have been updated to simply mark tiles dirty and let the rendering
system decode them as needed, so these functions may go away in the
future.
- Rewrote entirely the rendering code in drawgfx. This code previously
used extensive recursive #includes and tricks to build, and was
very difficult to understand. The new code is based off of a set of
macros defined in drawgfxm.h. These new macros separate the core
rendering logic from the per-pixel operation, allowing the operation
to be easily "plugged" into any of the renderers. These macros are
also available to any driver that wants custom rendering behavior
that is similar to existing core behavior, without needing to
populate the core with esoteric one-off rendering behaviors.
- Added a set of new functions for [p]drawgfx[zoom], one for each
transparency type. The old [p]drawgfx[zoom] functions are still
present, but now switch off the transparency type and call through
to one of these new transparency-specific functions. The old
functions are also now reduced to only supporting TRANSPARENCY_NONE,
TRANSPARENCY_PEN, and TRANSPARENCY_PENS. All other rendering types
must use the new functions.
- All new rendering functions have extensive asserts to catch improper
clipping rectangles and other common errors.
- All new rendering functions automatically downgrade to optimized
versions where appropriate. For example, calling drawgfx_transpen
with an out-of-range pen automatically falls back to drawgfx_opaque.
And drawgfxzoom_* with xscale=yscale=1.0 automatically falls back
to drawgfx_*. And many other examples. In general, this relieves
drivers from needing to make these sorts of decisions.
- All new rendering functions have a consistent parameter order that
is a bit different from the existing functions. The cliprect
parameter is now specified immediately after the destination bitmap,
to match the convention used throughout the rest of the system.
The core parameters are followed by the scale parameters (for the
zoom functions), and then followed by the priority parameters (for
the pdrawgfx* functions), finally followed by any PIXEL_OP*-specific
parameters (such as transparent pen, alpha, drawing tables, etc.)
- Removed drawgfx_alpha_cache, alpha_set_level(), and the inline
functions alpha_blend16() and alpha_blend32(). To render graphics
with alpha, use the new [p]drawgfx[zoom]_alpha functions, which
take an explicit alpha value. To render tilemaps with alpha, the
TILEMAP_DRAW_ALPHA option now takes an explicit alpha parameter.
And to do you own alpha blending, use the alpha_blend_r16() and
alpha_blend_r32() functions, which take an explicit alpha.
- Updated a number of drivers as a result of removing the implicit
alpha in the drawgfx_alpha_cache.
- Removed drawgfx_pen_table and TRANSPARENCY_PEN_TABLE. To achieve
the same effect, build your own table and pass it to
[p]drawgfx[zoom]_transtable, along with a pointer to the
machine->shadow_table to use for shadows. Eventually
machine->shadow_table is likely to go away, and drivers will need
to fetch the shadow table from the palette directly.
- Updated a number of drivers to remove use of drawgfx_pen_table.
- Removed TRANSPARENCY_ALPHARANGE; it was only used by the psikyosh
driver, so it is now moved locally into that driver and built
using the macros in drawgfxm.h.
- Removed TRANSPARENCY_PEN_RAW; to achieve the same effect, call the
new [p]drawgfx[zoom]_transpen_raw() functions. Updated drivers to
make this change.
- Removed the unused mdrawgfx* functions entirely.
- Added new function gfx_element_set_source_clip() to specify a
source clipping rectangle for any element. This replaces the nasty
hacks that were being used in bnstars, ms32, namcos86, and namcos1
to achieve similar behaviors.
- Simplified the copyrozbitmap() functions to match the copybitmap()
functions in having separate opaque and transparent versions. Also
removed the 'priority' parameter which was only used by one driver,
and moved that logic into a custom renderer built using macros in
drawgfxm.h. Updated copyrozbitmap* to use the destbitmap, cliprect
parameter ordering convention as well.
- Simplified the draw_scanline*() functions to always render opaque.
Only one driver was doing otherwise, and it now does its work
internally (draw_scanline is dead-simple ever since we moved
rotation to the OSD code; I almost just removed it entirely).
Other changes:
- Added a cliprect to the bitmap_t type, which describes the full
bitmap.
- Removed tilemap_set_pen_data_offset; unfortunately, this adds a
random tile offset behind the scenes and goes against the dirty
tile detection and invalidation. Updated the mainsnk, snk, and
snk68 drivers to use old fashioned tile banking. (Sorry Nicola.)

Subject: Fix for 1610 cpu
The cp1610 cpu crashes when it attempts to reset itself.
It gets the PULSE_LINE message.
A one-line fix to cp1610.h will fix the problem.
It has been tested on the intellivision mess driver.
Please change the line that says:
#define CP1610_RESET 2
to
#define CP1610_RESET INPUT_LINE_RESET
Thank you and Happy New Year.

All remaining bits of implementation have been migrated either to

debug_cpu_disassemble(), and cpu_set_dasm_override() is now
debug_cpu_set_dasm_override(). Also moved memory_address_physical()
to debug_cpu_translate(), since it was only ever used for
debugging.
Changed all CPU and sound cores to use memory_find_address_space()
instead of cpu_get_address_space(). The former is reliable even

Changed the core execution loop to directly call the execute

Hi mamedev,
This patch widens some machine callbacks to include an object (either

explicitly need them, but some of these will be needed by MESS now
that Machine is gone and in general all callbacks need to pass an

quantum in terms of "frames" (a dubious concept now with multiple
screens and changing refresh rates). Replaced it with a new
MDRV_QUANTUM_TIME(x) which specifies the minimum scheduling quantum
as a time value. Time can be specified as HZ(x), NSEC(x), USEC(x),
etc. Updated all drivers to use this, assuming 60 was the frame
rate (this is not perfect but should work for almost all cases).
Changed MDRV_WATCHDOG_INIT_TIME(x) to automatically prepend
UINT64_ATTOTIME_IN_ to the parameter, ensuring there is no
improper use of this macro and bringing it in line with the
MDRV_QUANTUM_TIME() macro. Updated all callers.
Added new MDRV_QUANTUM_PERFECT_CPU(x) to specify that the minimum
quantum should be enough to ensure that the specified CPU tag
only ever executes a single instruction at a time. This can be
used to explicitly require "perfect" synchronization for drivers
that have multiple CPUs with shared memory. Turned this on for
the arknoid2 driver for now as a test (the interleave on that
driver was already very close to perfect anyway).

Subject: [patch] Make Machine static!
Hi mamedev,
This large patch completes the removal of the use of Machine
throughout MAME. It does so primarily by adding machine, device or
space to various apis and modifying the callers, but for some
remaining cases it adds a new api, mame_get_running_machine(), which
will be called instead. There are only 14 uses of this api currently,
and that number should drop over time.
There are a few changes of note:
1. 6821pia.c. I attached machine to the 'device' structure. I'm
working on converting this to a proper device, but that change isn't
ready.
2. fddebug.c. I added a proper header so that the apis won't get
accidentally converted to static again.
3. scsi.c. I added a machine to SCSIInstance.
4. system16.c. I modified sys16_patch_code to take an array of
patches.
4. custom.h. I added the owning sound device to the reset/stop
routines as well as the token. Note that passing only the device
would require exposing the internals of custom_sound, as the token
passed is not the device token, but the token returned from the
CUSTOM_START routine. Better ideas here are welcome.
4. ppc2c0x.c. To avoid changing more interfaces, the init routine
saves the videorom location rather than looks it up each time.
I tried to choose what I felt was the natural parameter for an api,
rather than always pass machine, but in some cases I used machine to
limit the number of additional changes. Some additional cleanup here
is probably warranted, I'll look into that later once I'm recovered
from this two-week project.
~aa
interfaces when handling strings. Namely, the generic
get_info functions allocate a temporary string and the
device in question copies its string to the target,
instead of assigning a const char *. Updated all device
and sound cores to operate this way.
Added the concept of a cpu_state_table, which is
supplied by the CPU cores and which describes all the
register state accessible to the debugger and other
subsystems. The format of the table is such that most
data can be simply fetched from memory without the
further involvement of the CPU core, including the
display of common formats. Extensibility points are
available for custom display and for importing/exporting
the data to intermediate variables for more complicated
scenarios. Updated the ADSP21xx, TMS340x0, and i86 cores
to use this.
Removed the old debugger register list, which was never
used. Replaced it with using ordering from the
cpu_state_table.
Renamed REG_PC -> REG_GENPC, REG_SP -> REG_GENSP, and
REG_PREVIOUSPC -> REG_GENPCBASE. Updated a few spots
that were using these directly. Moved these definitions
into the end of the register area rather than leaving
them outside which put them in a weird range.
i86/i286/i386/nec/v30mz:
* renamed i86.h -> i86priv.h

This patch modifies the parameters of the stream_update_func callback.
The first two patches go through and changes all the callbacks to use
a consistent set of parameters (the larger patch was mechanically
generated, the smaller second patch are hand edits where review or
compilation showed issues with the automatic conversion). The third
patch then macroizes all the callbacks to STREAM_UPDATE, and was done

specified when the device is added, and the clock is available in
the device_config directly via device->clock. Updated all devices
that have a clock to specify it when adding the device, rather than
as part of their configuration. As part of this work, also created
device-specific _ADD and _REMOVE macros to simplify configuration.
Dfined a generic device execute function callback, though it
is not used yet. The long term plan is that any device with an
execute callback will be scheduled along with the CPUs. Now that
CPUs are devices, their scheduling will be moved over to this
logic eventually.
Changed various NVRAM devices to fetch their default memory region
from the device->region rather than specifying it in the
configuration.
Moved a number of CPUINFO_PTR_* constants to CPUINFO_FCT_*.
Fixed several drivers that manually created their own gfx_elements
to fill in the machine object, so they no longer crash.
Fixed incorrect CPU display on info screen (recently broken).
Moved device startup to *before* the DRIVER_INIT is called. This
is to allow the DRIVER_INIT to configure devices that have been
properly allocated. So far I don't see any negative effects, but
be on the lookout if something weird shows up.
Rewrote the device iteration logic to make use of the typenext
field and the newly-introduced classnext field for iterating more
efficiently through devices of a given type or class.
Fixed behavior of MDRV_CPU_REPLACE so it does not delete and then
re-add a CPU (causing the order to change).
Modified laserdisc players to walk back to their global device state
via the owner, rather than brute-force searching for the first instance
and hoping that is the right one.

Hi mamedev,
Several mame files use an inline verboselog definition which saves

feature, each case introduces a then hard to remove deprecated Machine

acceptable to mamedev, I've included patches for both.

This one is split into three parts:

directly. Some similar changes in 99xxcore.h, v9938.c, v9938mod.c,
galaxold.c, psx.c, taito_l.c are also made to eliminate Machine
params. No global API is changed.
3. This changes the APIs introduced in the first part to pass device
