Video Hw is different, Sound Hw is different.
I haven't looked at it much, this just loads the roms and lets it run
without crashing.
to be working reliably.
Deprecated the ROMREGION_DISPOSE flag, as 98% of the use of it no
longer is applicable with on-the-fly decoding, and the remaining
cases are difficult to identify among the others.
constants to cpuintrf, as those names are really only applicable to
CPUs. Added new ADDRESS_MAP_0/1/2/3 constants to identify address maps
more generically.
Updated memory system to be more general about address map handling.
Added the concept of default address maps (in addition to the already
existing internal memory maps). The difference between internal and
default memory maps is that internal memory maps always override
everything (including user-specified maps), but default memory maps
simply provide a default that can be overridden.
Converted the okim6295 sound driver to use address maps for access.
By default, it defines a ROM address map that overlays its full
region. As a result, the validity checks require all okim6295 regions
to be at least 256k, unless you provide your own address map. Updated
all regions to meet this requirement.
Updated the atarijsa code to use a custom address space for its
okim6295 accesses (which are banked on the first half and static on
the second half), as an example of configuring a device with a
custom address space.
For now, attempts to use okim6295_set_bank_base() will still work,
though banking for the okim chips should be moved to custom address
maps in the drivers eventually. The first time okim6295_set_bank_base()
is called, it will install a banked memory handler over the region
and use memory_set_bankptr() to change the base on subsequent bank
switches.
Moved address map validity checks to be run for each device instead of
just each CPU.
to devintrf (including endianness). Removed space array from the
CPU class header. Made the memory system much more device-neutral.
Various other cleanups along the way.
MDRV macros in the device for specifying address maps. Changed
the memory system to fetch the maps from the new location.
This is just a small step toward the end goal of getting address
maps into arbitrary devices.
Not sure how the guns are read yet but this fixes the CALL ATTENDENT immediate
death and the game runs fine now.
This game generates a *ton* of "voodoo_w while stalled!" messages, I don't
know if that's bad (the graphics look perfect to me).

Teraburst (1998/07/17 ver UEL) [Guru, Mark Frisbee]
This is the new parent set given that it's 5 months newer than the previous
1997/02/25 ver. AAA dump. NOT_WORKING because Ville's JVS simulation doesn't
handle lightguns. I'll try and fix that next :)

Johnny Nero Action Hero [R. Belmont, The Dumping Union]
The boot ROM has a lot to say on two different TTY ports (really).

Tokimeki Mahjong Paradise - Dear My Love [David Haywood, Angelo Salese]
Tokimeki Mahjong Paradise - Doki Doki Hen [David Haywood, Angelo Salese]
changes:
- split tmmjprd / tmpdoki from rabbit.c as it uses the graphic chip in a very different way, and having them together was making it more difficult to make progress on [David Haywood]
- changed them to use custom rendering code instead of tilemaps, as they can address tile data at a sub-tile level, this fixes the girls in the intro [David Haywood]
- added inputs [Angelo Salese]
- added some notes about a hang, and possible reason [David Haywood]
- marked the graphic roms of tmpdoki as BAD as it appears to be using tiles which are not present in the tmmjprd roms for the title screen [David Haywood]
Better rom load / decode for Last Duel sets [Haze]
Readme / PCB layout [Guru]
Corrected rom labels and added PCB locations to Mad Gear / LED Storm sets [Brian Troha]
The plan is to add the on-chip peripherals on the magicard.c driver then, when I get some consistency, hardwire it to the cpu core.
Please check this modification asap (should be fine, but I haven't compiled with a clean build)
