Also, added driver data struct to: alpha68k.c, amspdwy.c, gng.c, gunsmoke.c, hotblock.c
Finally, removed a couple of memory_set_bankptr I hadn't noticed in ddrible.c and gberet.c

Subject: [patch] Convert cabal/mappy/toypop/zaxxon to use driver_data
To: submit@mamedev.org
Cc: atariace@hotmail.com
Hi mamedev,
This patch is a resubmit of my earlier patch to have mappy and zaxxon
store their state in driver_data. It extends the patch to toypop
(which uses some mappy code), and also converts cabal which I also did
some time ago. cabal.h and toypop.h are new header files.

Taito should explain to me why doing a sound command latch writeable by the
Sound CPU itself... >_>
Comments:
Corrected long-standing issue in Tron where the cocktail fire button never worked at all or was always held down. Work still needs to be done with the 10 position dip which isn't properly hooked up yet.
I found that it needs to be slightly different if you want correctly
terminated audio streams:
/* add up the samples */
if (channelsamples > chunksamples)
file->info.audio_numsamples = stream->samples += chunksamples;
else if (channelsamples > 0)
file->info.audio_numsamples = stream->samples += channelsamples;
Otherwise extra silence will be counted at the end of the audio stream.
Not really that big an issue but a bit sloppy...
Added driver data struct to fuukifg2.c and fuukifg3.c (no save states yet due to anonymous timers)
Also, added more devices to dkong driver data (to minimize # of cputag_xxxx calls)
As a side note, now drgnbowl (one of the worst game ever) supports saves! enjoy :-P
Please disreguard the previous "Not Working" submission of the same in the what's new. Thank you!

* drop almost completely the use of generic sizes with struct members
* reduce as much as possible accesses to cputag calls during emulation (they are now mainly concentrated at MACHINE_START & DRIVER_INIT)
unfortunately I had been away for half a day and I have found only now rev 7446 (which could have been used in many of these cases). too late to use the new macro, sorry (almost 3AM here)

Aaron's patch to move the generic pointers into machine conflicts with
a patch I'd worked on some time ago to start eliminating those globals
altogether, so I've become motivated to finally submit it ;-). This
patch eliminates spriteram3, which unlike the other spriteram
variables, is only a convenience for some drivers.

This one needs a decrypt key.
WARNING: Due to the small size of encrypted code and the requirements of the key finding code, this set may never have a key. Haze tried and ran the key exctractor for 25 hours with "no key found"... Nicola or Andreas will have to work this one over.

Subject: Another i386 fix
To: submit@mamedev.org
Hi,
Small fix this time. This fixes an issue with the FM Towns version of
MS-DOS where it was feeding nonsense parameters to the CD-ROM
controller. MS-DOS uses REP OUTSB to send the parameters, and I
noticed that the expected data was not what was sent to the I/O port.
Looking at the i386 code, I saw that it always used segment:ESI,
regardless of address size. This fix makes it use segment:SI when
address size is 16-bit (ie: when using OUTSB or OUTSW).
Patch is based on 0.135u1.
Thanks,
Barry Rodewald

* Added specific memory map & machine driver to Kimble Double Hi-Lo.
* Fix the Kimble Double Hi-Lo CPU type.
* Added notes about the code obfuscation and PPI's handling/offsets.
Aaron: Please, in the New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING,
change the line: "Kimble Joker Poker [Roberto Fresca, Alan Griffin]"
to: "Kimble Double Hi-Lo [Roberto Fresca, Alan Griffin]"
Added equivalent pointers to machine->generic. Updated all
references.
Now that accessing these is more awkward, it is probably best
to put these pointers in the driver data structures instead
of using the generic pointers. The main reason to continue
using generic pointers is to allow use of paletteram shortcuts
and buffered spriteram handling.

this one has the bonus round ripped out to avoid the protection

bootleggers will be bootleggers and I guess not crashing was more
important ;-)

Unfortunately, if you load a save state too early the game starts with no sound. For the moment, no SUPPORT_SAVE flag, but the game goes in my list of drivers which needs a second look. Feel free to step up and fix saves, if you like
designed to hold generic pointers that are commonly used. For
now, only generic_nvram has moved there. Added AM_BASE_GENERIC
and AM_SIZE_GENERIC macros for initializing generic pointers
in memory maps. Also added AM_BASE_SIZE_GENERIC to set both
base and size in one step.
Moved global variables out of machine/generic and into a private
data structure hanging off of the running_machine. Added newly-
needed machine parameters to coin_counter_w, coin_lockout_w, and
coin_lockout_global_w. Also added machine parameter to
set_led_state.
Added interface functions to get the number of dispensed tickets
and to increment the count, to remove the need for direct access
to these global variables. Also added functions to get the
current count on a particular coin counter and to determine the
lockout state.
Future checkins will move the remaining generic pointers (for
paletteram, videoram, spriteram, colorram, etc.) into the new
generic_pointers structure.
Also added PCB layouts, hardware description and technical notes.
Changed the bipolar prom dumps to serial I2C bus EEPROM.

hng64: better documentation of mosaic and floor modes [David Haywood]

Oggetto: Re: Slight optimization to tile dirty marking
attempted to better document how it swaps between mosaic and floor modes
as they seem to use the same bits... although this still doesn't really
seem logical, so I'm probably missing something.
It might allow me to hook up the floor in Fatal Fury without breaking
other things tho.

if there are never two or more chunk's worth of audio samples queued then

apply over previous

From David Haywood (thru IM channels):
...and added 8x8 and 16x16 tilemaps for each mode.
corrects one scene in Xrally intro, and also transition layer in fatfurwa (see squares when you press start on title screen)
(doesn't fix road edge alt tilemap mode yet)
note: includes/hng64.h added, 3d disabled in driving games.
Output ports are now affected by IP_ACTIVE_HIGH/IP_ACTIVE_LOW (eepromdev.c has active low cs).
The previous value for callbacks in inptport.c is now tracked per field. This saves recalculating it for PORT_CHANGED & conditional fields wouldn't always get updated correctly.
Tidied up eepromdev.c interface.
