- enabled smooth border effect and added option, its amount is limited
by the amount of rounded corners
- added raster.ini to parse_standard_inis()
- merged vector and raster bloom options, use vector.ini or raster.ini

this is a dummy implementation of -aviwrite/-mngwrite and is used in
testruns to detect e.g. palette issues. the dummy implementation greatly
speed up testrun since it avoids the snapshot to file format conversions
as well as the I/O operations
devices (e.g., passthru carts) or new slot options, failed to do
so when loaded through the File Manager in the internal
UI. [Fabio Priuli]
out of whatsnew: to see the bug, try to launch with previous code nes with no
options, then mount ggenie cart and, after the reboot, try to mount any other
game in the -cart2 media switch. System will reboot, but only ggenie remains
mounted.
Alternatively, launch c64 and manually mount cbmieee from the UI. After
reboot the serial slot options in the Slot Options menu are not configurable, because
the core was not "informed" of their addition, and any cart you try to mount in -cart2
will be ignored, because the new media switch is not acknowledged by the core.
Once again, from command line everything was fine, and thus the issue was hard to
spot :)
locking any potential future OSD to these.
Options inheritance now is
core_options
emu_options
cli_options
osd_options
[sdl|win]_osd_options
This required a number of minor changes to other code as well.
Tested on linux-sdl, windows-sdl, windows-mainline, osx-sdl
allows logging of DRC native disassembly without re-compiling / removes
DRCUML_OPTION_LOG_NATIVE and all the core-specific LOG_NATIVE defines /
added logging() to drcbe_interface / added logging_native() to
drcuml_state
-Updated LUA engine to run in machine_manager instead of being initialized per machine
-Added "-console" option so emulator can be started with LUA enabled console
-Update LUA to version 5.2.3
-Enabled SQLite3 to be compiled and added LUA module for it
GAME = GAME_TYPE_ARCADE -> arcade.ini
CONS = GAME_TYPE_CONSOLE -> console.ini
COMP = GAME_TYPE_COMPUTER -> computer.ini
SYST = GAME_TYPE_OTHER -> othersys.ini
I've had a few requests to do this and it seems simple enough to leverage the flags we already have.
Moved delegates into /src/lib/util to enable usage of delegates in other project parts
Moved mame_printf_* calls into /src/osd/osdcore.c and renamed them to osd_printf_*
Changed mess.mak to display compilation of ymmu100.ppm nicely
[Aaron Giles]
* these classes now no longer take a resource_pool; everything is
managed globally -- this means that objects added to lists must be
allocated with global_alloc
* added new auto_pointer<> template which wraps a pointer and auto-frees
it upon destruction; it also defaults to NULL so it doesn't need to
be explicitly initialized
* moved tagged_list template to tagmap.h
Redo of the low-level memory tracking system: [Aaron Giles]
* moved low-level tracking out of emu\emualloc into lib\util\corealloc
so it can be shared among all components and used by core libraries
* global_alloc and friends no longer use a resource pool to track
allocations; turns out this was a wholly redundant system that wasted
a lot of memory
* removed global_resource_pool entirely
* added global_free_array to delete arrays allocated with
global_alloc_array
* added tracking of object versus array allocation; we will now error
if you use global_free on an array, or global_free_array on an object
Added new utility helper const_string_pool which can be used to
efficiently accumulate strings that are not intended to be modified.
Used by updated makelist and software list code. [Aaron Giles]
Updated png2bdc and makelist tools to not leak memory and use more modern
techniques (no more MAX_DRIVERS in makelist, for example). [Aaron Giles]
Deprecated auto_strdup and removed all uses by way of caller-managed
astrings and the software list rewrite. [Aaron Giles]
Rewrote software list management: [Aaron Giles]
* removed the notion of a software_list that is separate from a
software_list_device; they are one and the same now
* moved several functions into device_image_interface since they really
didn't belong in the core software list class
* lots of simplification as a result of the above changes
Additional notes (no whatsnew):
Moved definition of FPTR to osdcomm.h.
Some changes happened in the OSD code to fix issues, especially regarding
freeing arrays. SDL folks may need to fix up some of these.
The following devices still are using tokens and should be modernized
(I found them because they kept their token as void * and tried to
delete it, which you can't):
namco_52xx_device (mame/audio/namco52.c)
namco_54xx_device (mame/audio/namco54.c)
namco_06xx_device (mame/machine/namco06.c)
namco_50xx_device (mame/machine/namco50.c)
namco_51xx_device (mame/machine/namco51.c)
namco_53xx_device (mame/machine/namco53.c)
voodoo_device (emu/video/voodoo.c)
mos6581_device (emu/sound/mos6581.c)
aica_device (emu/sound/aica.c)
scsp_device (emu/sound/scsp.c)
dmadac_sound_device (emu/sound/dmadac.c)
s3c2440_device (emu/machine/s3c2440.c)
wd1770_device (emu/machine/wd17xx.c)
latch8_device (emu/machine/latch8.c)
duart68681_device (emu/machine/68681.c)
s3c2400_device (emu/machine/s3c2400.c)
s3c2410_device (emu/machine/s3c2410.c)
strataflash_device (mess/machine/strata.c)
hd63450_device (mess/machine/hd63450.c)
tap_990_device (mess/machine/ti99/990_tap.c)
omti8621_device (mess/machine/omti8621.c)
vdt911_device (mess/video/911_vdt.c)
apollo_graphics_15i (mess/video/apollo.c)
asr733_device (mess/video/733_asr.c)
relative to -state_directory (whose usage remains unchanged). Syntax is basically the same
as snapname, allowing for the / character as path separator, %g as the driver name, and
%d_[media] as the image name mounted in the "media" device.
For example, using -statename foo/%g when running "mame wrally" will store save states into
the folder sta/foo/wrally/ ; using -statename %g/%d_cart when running "mess nes -cart smb"
will store save states into the folder sta/nes/smb/ ; using -statename %g/%d_cdrm when
running "mess pce -cart cdsys -cdrm draculax" will store save states into sta/pce/draculax/
Specifying a media switch which is not available (e.g. %d_cdrm in a c64) or a media switch
where no image is mounted (e.g. %d_cdrm in pce while playing a hucard game) will revert
the option to its default value %g and save states will be stored in sta/*gamename*/ as in
previous versions. [Fabio Priuli]
Needless to say, this option is very useful with home computers and consoles in MESS since it
allows to have 36 save slots for each game instead of 36 for the whole system library
Notice that a clean compile is required, due to the addition to the running_machine class
