Subject: Soccer Superstars pitch
To: Philip Bennett <p.j.bennett@gmail.com>, Angelo Salese <salese_corp_ltd@email.it>
some mods to allow the Soccer Superstars pitch to be rendered with a debug key. The layout / bank select for it should now be correct.
There is a lot of unknown data in the 'PSAC2 data rom' tho, which is probably for something else? (or it's bad?)
Hold down W to show the ROZ output. I need to work out how the mixer works, because everything just crashes horribly if you attempt to use it right now due to unsafe code and cliprects ;-)

* Added correct RAM sizes as per Charles McDonald's notes
* Implemented priority in the same manner as tetrisp2
* Add shadows via custom mixing (gametngk and tetrisp / tp2m32 are much improved)

Subject: Re: Megasystem 32 ram sizes
and this patch (which replaces the last two) takes things one step
further, and attempts to add shadows via custom mixing.
in reality per-pixel use of the priority ram will be needed, but this
does a pretty good job, albeit in a rather unoptimized way.
Shadows in gametngk and tetrisp / tp2m32 are much improved.

Just realised the parent/clone settings were wrong, since I'd been
testing them all as parents. This is now fixed.

Just noticed that I left a debug line in which turned off column scroll, gals panic 4 wasn't very happy about that ;-) use this instead

This patch replaces the previous one and also fixes mantis 3498
With both these fixes Sengeki Striker looks much, much better than it did in 135 ;-)

I'm not 100% convinced by this, but it at least fixes the text problem, and the enemies look much better in sengekis when you shoot them down.
This only affects the games where the special 'srhink' flag is set. There are still general precision issues with the normal sprite placement / zooming in the emulation tho, the Jackie Chan games make it very obvious
Ultimate Tennis (Japan) - NOT WORKING
Touche Me
Comments:
Ultimate Tennis is waiting for some special code in order to boot - so it doesn't work past playing the introduction music. Touche Me fit into ladyfrog.c driver pretty well - graphics layout needs to be adjusted as the sprites are wrong (or bad rom?). I added DIP LOCATIONS for that driver while I was there and verified all that I could for Touche Me.
* Added Nested Task flag, and I/O Privilege flags. They aren't
implemented in any way, but can now be set or reset. Can be used to
detect a 80386 or later CPU.
* Implemented ENTER instruction.
* Made IRQ vectors treated as 8 bytes when in protected mode, and made
the addresses pushed onto the stack 32-bit if the gate descriptor used
is a 386 interrupt or trap gate (also when in protected mode, will
always be 16-bit if in real mode).

Subject: i386 update
To: submit@mamedev.org
Hi,
Here's a few small fixes for the i386 core, based from the work I've
been doing on emulating the FM Towns in MESS. Mostly based from the
i386 Programmer's Reference Manual.
The fixes are as follows:
* Added Nested Task flag, and I/O Privilege flags. They aren't
implemented in any way, but can now be set or reset. Can be used to
detect a 80386 or later CPU.
* Implemented ENTER instruction, this is used by the FM Towns version of MS-DOS.
* Made IRQ vectors treated as 8 bytes when in protected mode, and made
the addresses pushed onto the stack 32-bit if the gate descriptor used
is a 386 interrupt or trap gate (also when in protected mode, will
always be 16-bit if in real mode).
I've tested a few i386 games (Seibu SPI, PC-AT, and Wolf System) in
MAME 0.135, with no obvious regressions.
Diff is based on MAME 0.135.
Thanks,
Barry Rodewald
