API impact:
- install_ram/rom/writeonly now requires a non-null pointer. If you want
automatically managed ram, add it to a memory map, not in machine_start
- install_*_bank now requires a memory_bank *, not a string
- one can create memory banks outside of memory maps with memory_bank_creator
- one can create memory shares outside of memory maps with memory_share_creator
Memory maps impact:
- ram ranges with overlapping addresses are not shared anymore. Use .share()
- ram ranges touching each other are not merged anymore. Stay in your range
Extra note:
- there is no need to create a bank just to dynamically map some memory/rom.
Just use install_rom/ram/writeonly
- Eliminate RAM regions
- Eliminate device_timer and anonymous timer usage
- Add bad dump flags for hardware-inaccurate ROM dumps
- Add NO_DUMP entries for a few minor missing parts
- Remove a lot of dead code
I adjusted the alignment based on where the shots hit the buildings. It
doesn't seem possible to not have the tanks partly overlap the buildings
but still have the hitboxes inset into the buildings by the right amount
on all sides.
- Implemented memory mapper for CP/M.
- Serial printer port.
- External RAM is now scrambled.
- SuperCart bankswitching board implemented for Aquaricart.
- Cartridge images of size 4K, 8K, 16K now supported, was previously 16K only.
