- added unidasm to the tools build
- split the disassemblers out of libcpu and into new libdasm
- ensured the disassembly entry points for all disassemblers are
in the source file for the disassembler (sometimes new generic
versions were created)
Still needs command line options and file loading, but the
fundamentals are present, and it links.
- added discrete sound to battle zone
- engine frequency (resistor R11) can be changed with slider
- discrete sound may be disabled by setting BZONE_DISCRETE to 0 in bzone.h
DISCRETE_RCDISC3
- added diode junction voltage
- junction voltage also indicates polarity
DISCRETE_OPAMP_FILTER
- added type DISC_OP_AMP_FILTER_IS_LOW_PASS_1M
- INP2 takes role of v_ref in this type
DISCRETE_OPAMP
- Fixed a bug (possible divide by 0)
DISCRETE_LFSR
- Fixed bug preventing output of shift reg to sub node 1

Changed to mono both Downtown and Caliber 50: these pcbs don't have a

Regarding the conversion to mono, I would like to know if it's good to
lower the output of the channels to 0.50 if each channel was previously
1.0 in stereo.

- added cycle tables and cleaned up source layout. This was done very carefully, it should be errorfree.
- removed HLT cycle eating (earlier, HLT after EI could theoretically fail)
- fixed parity flag on add/sub/cmp. Bug was caused by z80 overflow detection accidentally left in
- renamed temp register XX to official name WZ
- renamed flags from Z80 style S Z Y H X V N C to S Z X5 H X3 P V C, and fixed X5 / V flags where accidentally broken due to flag names confusion
- Fixed X/Y flags in CCF/SCF/BIT, ZEXALL is happy now
- Simplified DAA, renamed MEMPTR (3.8) to WZ (same temp register as the officially named WZ in the 8080), added TODO
the cycle fix by Marshmellow, in the 3.9 z80.c comments was already committed in june, just added there for documentation
integers. This is defined to be "I64" on MSVC and recent mingw compilers,
and "ll" for all others.
Updated all instances of 64-bit prints to use the new macro.
Fixed visible area on logic pro and logic pro 2 to match real PCBs.
Add comment about what ym3812 clone is used.
Add note about missing graphical effect in logic pro (screen dim on coin insert) and marked as IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS.
Add note about 4 pixels at left edge of screen.

Rabbit Poker (Arizona Poker v1.1?) [Roberto Fresca, Andreas Naive, Tomasz Slanina]
- Put some life into RCDISC5 enable mode. This now acts as a switch between R and C. Capacitor voltage will be preserved if disabled.
- Made galaxian use the above. Saved 2 nodes and increased accuracy.
- Added DISC_LFSR_FLAG_OUTPUT_SR_SN1 flag to shift register noise generator. This will output the value of the shift register to sub-node 1. This is needed for future bzone discrete sound emulation. BTW: RCDISC5 will be used as well.
- Left a note on RCDISC3 on what is needed to be implemented for bzone.
- Optimized the LFSR a bit. LFSRs running at high frequency (> sample_freq) should benefit.

reverted names back to just "1" versus multi_fish.001. It was pointed out the actual rom labels read just "1"... though in Igrosoft's list of hashes the full "multi_fish.001" name is used.
Stripped out the "hack" comments per game in lieu of a single comment about the first set being the "official" has while the other sets may be hacks or alt regions version.
- Use DISCRETE_NOTE for pitch generation; it is more accurate (within the one ms where the pitch changes :-) ) and saves a node
- Use DISCRETE_BITS_DECODE and save 2 nodes.
updated rom name based on listed files and hashes listed by Igrosoft. Added additional info about rom changes and found a bad_dump rom so 1 set gets removed.
- decodes individual bits from input values
- Updated drivers which had macro DISCRETE_BITSET (which was a bit misleading)
- This should be slightly faster than using DISCRETE_TRANSROM
Added some 2006 revisions that are at least 3 years old to the driver. Minor formating / white space clean up. Minor header information change / clean up.
Added copyright year to mamedriv.c for the Multifish sets.

- Split YM2612/3834 to a separate file to avoid disturbing other OPN chips
- SSG-EG, envelope, LFO, and CSM behavior all improved to better match
tested behavior on real YM2612 chips
- Moon Cresta and Galaxian now have their respective schematics emulated, i.e. Moon Cresta has a slightly different mixing stage.
- Cleaned up driver, added some section titles and comments, removed old code.
Discrete sound
- removed global variable discrete_current_context
- discrete_info is now passed instead of device, we may get device by using disc_info->device
- Added DISCRETE_IMPORT(*block): imports another discrete block
- Added DISCRETE_REMOVE(node1, node2): removes a range of nodes
- Added DISCRETE_REPLACE: next node replaces existing node, thus preserving run order
- Added DISCRETE_NOP(node): does nothing, to be replaced.
- Added a prescanning stage to build final block list after execution of the above.
- The additions provide an easy way to document subtle difference between boards.

It actually appears to be the same set as one of the supported ones, but
with smaller roms. This one is definitely from an original Taito board
(he sent a picture), I'm not so sure about the other set because it's
the odd one out as far as rom sizes go. I've left both in the driver
for best reference.
I've also renamed 'qixa' to 'qixo' as it seems to be an older version
and tagged it as such. Language selection is disabled, and there is a
spelling error on the screen not present in the other sets. Please

Hello,
Attached is a diff for 0133u1 Space Walk that adds game time and coinage
DIP switches, as well as service mode and input test. DIP switches 5 and 6
are still unknown. It also adds support for the 2nd controller and
coincounter, similar to clowns. I've removed the GAME_NOT_WORKING flag, since
other than a glitch with the CPU controlled pad on the left side, the gameplay
is working fine. The fact that the middle section is inaccessible looks
deliberate: there's probably a vertical-shape object in the original artwork
the clown (astronaut in this case:P) can bump into.

Ridge Racer (3 screen? Rev. RR2, World) [Guru, Smitdogg]
Claimed to be 3 screen but it comes up fine in the driver as-is. The I/O
test does complain about the C139 serial being unable to talk to anything so
I'm assuming that's how the 3-screen-ness works and will not purse that
angle :)
This was submitted in May and never put in because nobody from MESS commented.
I just tried it hooked up to the Apple II in MESS and it sounds quite nice.
