* Decode color PROMs [Joe Magiera, couriersud]
* Full memory map for main and audio CPU derived from schematics
* Add both dip switches
* Hook up interrupt generation logic
* Decode character and sprite layout and draw character tilemap
* Raw screen parameters (to be verified)
- update_names no longer takes arguments; the device type can be obtained easily, and the custom instance names are now overrides. Devices might not need to explicitly call update_names in the future.
- Fix the frontend crash/assert failure resulting from instance names not being generated properly.
- c2040fdc, c64h156: Calculate clock period in device_clock_changed rather than in constructor
- isa8, isa16: Eliminate device_config_complete (probably unnecessary, since m_maincpu is already set in device_start)
These changes prevent assert failures with the new ad-hoc device construction in -listxml, though they are otherwise independent.
* MAME now walks all devices when generating -lx output irrespective of whether they're actually instantiated anywhere or not.
* -lx is at least 30% faster than previous implementation.
* Only possible drawback is that filtering drivers no longer filters devices.
* tee allows two peripherals to be connected in parallel
* glinkhle is an RS232 (9600 8N1) adaptor
* bitsock sends raw assert/release line signals to/from a bitbanger device
* monospkr is a speaker connected between tip/ring in parallel and sleeve
* stereospkr is two speakers: left across tip and sleeve, right across ring and sleeve
Use glinkhle to make emulated calculators talk with cooked sockets, e.g.
mame ti82 -linkport glinkhle -linkport:glinkhle:rs232 null_modem -bitb socket.127.0.0.1:2345
Use bitsock to make emulated calculators talk with cooked sockets, e.g.
mame ti82 -linkport bitsock -bitb socket.127.0.0.1:2345
You can use tee to do stuff like listen to data activity for debugging purposes, e.g.
mame ti82 -linkport tee -linkport:tee:a stereospkr -linkport:tee:b glinkhle -linkport:tee:b:glinkhle:rs232 null_modem -bitb socket.127.0.0.1:2345
