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).

Subject: [patch] Migrate CPU defines to cpu header files
Hi mamedev,
This patch migrates all the CPU definitions into the cpu header files.
The #defines and CPU_GET_INFO declarations were added by hand to the
cpu cores in the first patch, plus a few partly related fixes to the
non-DRC cores. The second patch was produced by the attached script
which inserts all needed #includes, except for two that were added by
hand in the first patch. The first patch also removed an extra define
of N2A03_DEFAULTCLOCK that would have caused problems with the second
patch.

machine configuration just as any other device, and the
standard CPU configuration is performed via the inline
configuration macros.
Change cpu_type from an enumeration into a pointer to the
CPU's get_info function, very similar to device behavior.
For now all CPUs are declared in cpuintrf.h, but
eventually they should be declared in the CPU's header
file, and the driver should #include that header.
Added function cpu_get_type() to return the CPU type.
Changed several cpu_* functions into macros that call
through to the equivalent device_* function.
The device system now maintains a parallel list of devices
based on type, for faster iteration through all devices
of a given type.
Cleaned up code that looped over CPUs via the machine->cpu
array to now loop using the type-based device list.
Removed start/stop/reset/nvram functions from the
device_config in favor of grabbing them as needed.
Cleaned up the generic interrupt_enable code to work with
CPU devices instead of numbers.
Mapped the devtag_* functions to device_* functions via
macros instead of parallel implementations.

Disabled the use of PULSE_LINE for any input lines except NMI and RESET.
Added a helper function generic_pulse_irq_line() for doing a single-cycle
assert/deassert for those few drivers remaining that were trying to use
PULSE_LINE directly.
This is a reworked/expanded version of the patch I sent yesterday.
This one is split into three parts:
1. This introduces function macros for SAMPLES_START,
CUSTOM_{START,STOP,RESET}, and ANTIC_RENDERER.
2. This introduces running_machine *machine throughout MAME.
Principally it adds running_machine *machine = Machine to the top of
functions, but in some static functions the parameter is added
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
or space as appropriate. A few similar changes in some other global
apis are made as well.
The net result of this sequence of patches is to remove 40% of the
Machine references and 27 deprecat.h includes.

Hi Aaron,
I have noticed that there are some problems in interrupt handling in 8080 implementation. Thing is that there are some cases that made a problem while implementing one
computer emulation. Thing is that there is same computer with Z80 and 8080 cpu and ROM's are same, but interrupts were not triggered. So I have searched and found
two problems fixed with this patch.
1. previous implementation cleared interrupt enable bit on interrupt trigger which is wrong since interrupts should stay enabled
2. serve interrupt number was not cleared after interrupt is executed, so if same one is triggered it will not be catched.
I have tested with 8080 MESS drivers, and picked some of MAME drivers using 8080 and 8085, and there were no bad things found.

CPU parsing so you can use a CPU tag or index in most commands that
take one. Switched to passing CPU and address space objects around

Moved memory global state into a struct hanging off of the machine.
Updated almost all memory APIs to take an address_space * where
appropriate, and updated all callers. Changed memory internals to
use address spaces where appropriate. Changed accessors to point
to the memory_* functions instead of the address space-specific
functions. Improved internal handling of watchpoints.
Added cputag_* functions: cputag_reset(), cputag_get_index(),
cputag_get_address_space(). These just expand via macros to an
initial fetch of the CPU via cputag_get_cpu() followed by the
standard CPU call.
Added debugger_interrupt_hook() and debugger_exception_hook() calls

Did minimal cleanup of debugger, mainly moving CPU-specific data

if the given address is not in a bank, calls through to the standard read

In theory, this should prevent crashes when accessing opcodes. It does in
fact prevent mp_col3 from crashing.
Fixed address space mapping handlers to invalidate direct access regions

Fixed a number of errors found by the compiler, mostly in the core and
CPU/sound handlers, but there is a lot remaining to fix.
Added new function cpu_get_address_space() to fetch the address space

related APIs now take a device pointer instead of an index.
All functions that take a CPU device are prefixed with cpu_*
All functions that are globally related to cpu execution

In addition, a number of functions retain the same name but
now require a specific CPU parameter to be passed in:
cpu_yield
cpu_spin
cpu_spinuntil_time
cpu_spinuntil_int
cpu_spinuntil_trigger
cpu_triggerint
Merged cpuint.c into cpuexec.c. One side-effect of this
change is that driver reset callbacks are called AFTER the
CPUs and devices are reset. This means that if you make
changes to the CPU state and expect the reset vectors to
recognize the changes in your reset routine, you will need
to manually reset the CPU after making the change (since it
has already been reset).

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.

Subject: fix for Cube Quest Line CPU emulation
I found a bug in the emulation of the Cube Quest Line CPU.
Proof of bug:
After looking at .diff,
Assume 'ci' is 1, and assume 'r' and 's' are both 0xFFF
(0xFFF equals -1, as these numbers are 12-bit signed).
The result should be mathematically equivalent to -1 - (-1)
which is 0.
~0xFFF is 0xF000, so you'd have 0xF000 + 0x0FFF + 1 which equals
0x10000 but since 'res' is 16-bits this is truncated to 0x0.
'C' then becomes 0 and 'V' becomes 1 (as I recall). The result of
0 is correct, but the flags are wrong; V should be 0 and C should
be 1.
Under my proposed fix, you'd have 0x000 + 0x0FFF + 1, which equals
0x1000, so the lower 12 bits are 0 (correct) and C is 1 and V is 0
(correct).
I discovered this bug while disassembling the line CPU's ROM.
means that multiple changes without any execution will be seen as
atomic. It also means that PULSE_LINE no longer works for signalling
IRQs.
Added checks in the debug build to catch people who try to use
PULSE_LINE for non-NMI and non-RESET input lines on CPUs that no
longer support direct interrupt generation. Over time expect this
list to increase.
Added new item to the interface which is the tag of a CPU
to take the base clock from. Are there any known cases
where the base clock does NOT come from the CPU directly?
Changed Z80 daisy chain interface to simply be a list of
devices in the chain. Interrupt callback functions are now
fetched via the standard device interface and referenced by
the daisy chain code.
Changed Z80 PIO interrupt callback to pass a device instead
of the machine. All device callbacks should provide the

adding static where appropriate. In addition, I fixed a bunch of
UNUSED_FUNCTON symbols to be spelled correctly (I didn't introduce
this).

* 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.
metadata with pre-decoded frame information. Modified chdman to
automatically produce this for CHDs that are of the appropriate
parameters. To fix up existing CHDs, use chdman -fixavdata on the
CHD.
Modified the laserdisc core to leverage the pre-decoded frame
metadata, which is now required. This improves seek times when
searching and allows the player-specific emulation access to the
VBI data as soon as it would really be available. Changed update
callback timing to fire just before the first line of VBI data
would be read; at that point, the frame selection is assumed to
be committed.
Converted PR-8210 emulation over to using the actual MCU from the
laserdisc player. This MCU controls low-level functions such as
slider position and laser on/off, and receives decoded vertical
blanking data in order to make decisions. Removed old HLE behavior.
Note that the overlay text is displayed via the UI; this is
temporary and will be fixed shortly.
Converted Simutrek-hacked laserdisc emulation to using the actual
MCU from the game, which in turn hands off commands to the PR-8210
MCU. This is still not 100% but is pretty close at this point and
achieves the correct behaviors in most cases.
Fixed Cube Quest overlay scaling to cover the whole screen.
Changed laserdisc video parameters to position the screen area at
the bottom rather than the top, since this corresponds more closely
to standard line numbering.
Extended the vbiparse code to support pack/unpack, and to more
fully document all the meanings of the VBI codes.
Updated ldplayer to support slow/fast forward movement, frame/chapter
display, and separate controls for scanning/stepping.
Added new built-in variable "frame" to the debugger.
Fixed device-based ROM loading to support loading ROMs from the
game's ZIP as well.
Subject: [patch] Even more reset/multisession cleanup
Hi mamedev,
These two patches try to reduce the amount of variable in .data, which
usually point to multisession/reset bugs or missing const qualifiers.
The first patch just adds const to a number of items, moving them from
.data to .rdata. The second patch sets other items to zero (moving
them to .bss), adding reset/init code where appropriate.

Found few things not right in 8080/8085 implementation.
1. ANA/ANI instruction, HF flag was not set right because error in calculation of it (missing brackets)
2. 8080 have NF flag always set (it is not used flag but bit is always set)
3. On unused ports/not connected memory values from status word were readed not 00 or FF, that is why I add it as a new internal register, it can also be buffered by some external hardware, so this could help other implementations too.

the driver's memory maps.
Reverted recent changes to MCS-48 core that were very hacky and which crashed
many games. You can now properly override the internal memory map and do
your own banking.
Also fixed 02204: masao: Memory bank error.
This contains three different patches:
20080829.patch
Introducing the running_machine* parameter in a few more places. Next
step would be to make the execute_* function aware of it, if that's
OK. Also used the machine parameter in memory.c were it's available.
20080829_1.patch
The already discussed and probably being rejected removal of
dreprecat.h from debugger.h. I think this is a low-risk patch (we had
worse cleanups) and it lowers the risk of new code using deprecated
function beign introduced in MAME/MESS, because there is no invisible
inclusion of deprecat.h anymore (I think one driver - kofball.c - got
it with deprecated code).
20080829_2.patch
The last Machine -> machine conversion I had sitting in my local
tree. I know the proper way is to turn them into devices, but I still
haven't looked into that.
* Adds MCS48_INTERNAL_ROMBANK define to header
* Drivers which need to control the ea line have to initialize banking for internal/external rom
This is not yet optimal but works as expected with existing drivers and modified mario.c
* MB8884 is a I8035 ==> 12 addr, no internal rom map
* EA line high: external access - this is "default"
The whole EA implementation is as Aaron named it, cheeky. EA=1 external rom access, EA=0 internal rom access.
But all variants are treated the same, i.e. for i8035, MB8884, I8039, the external rom is used in the same
way as the internal.
These ports are actually ports which sink current on logical 0. With a logical 1, they are in high impedance mode and may be read. The high impedance is treated as logical 1 by TTL gates connected to them.

Subject: [patch] Remove useless backslashes
Hi mamedev,
I've been using pmd 4.2.2 to analyze the MAME codebase for duplicate
code, and it's C parser complains about useless backslashes and
dangling defines in #if...#endif sections. Here's a patch that fixes
this, and additionally fixes one real bug, a string in djmain.c was
malformed, it's curious it compiled.

Subject: Profiler related #2 (v2)
Hi, this a revised version of a patch I sent yesterday.
This one is much more cleaner, and the speed improvement is now significant
enough to come out of the profiling noise.
More over, this one compiles correctly... ;-)
Best regards,
Christophe Jaillet
mechanism; instead, you must access the sliders via the main menu. While in
the menu, you can use the ~ key to turn off the menu display and leave only
the bar display, in order to see more of the screen.
* removed redundant and unused definitions from header file
* renamed constants and functions to be MCS48* prefixed
* re-verified all opcode behaviors and timing
* changed illegal opcodes to count 1 cycle to avoid infinite loops
* changed EA behavior so that it is a push from the driver instead of a pull on each opcode fetch
(this may change further in the future).
* reimplemented IRQ generation and timer behavior according to documentation
* updated all drivers accordingly
* fixed several uses of PULSE_LINE, which no longer works
Register access is still performed using direct memory accesses,
but the pointers are fetched through the memory system. Now you can
see i8039 RAM in the debugger. Added internal memory maps of the
appropriate size so that drivers don't need to declare this RAM.
Added a number of variants from the MCS-48 family as it was not
clear which variants had what capabilities. All documented variants
now have internal memory maps for internal ROM and RAM. Removed
memory maps from drivers using embedded ROM/EPROM/OTPROM since
they are defined by the core now.
Added some initial logic to boot and run the PR-8210 ROM (i8049)
in ldplayer.c. Currently this is disabled behind a compile-time
switch. Once this is working, the plan is to incorporate this into
the existing PR-8210 emulation, but we're not there yet.
