I didn't get around to documenting this one in full detail, but at a quick glance it appears the region works in the same way. ie, the first byte of one of the roms is 0x01 instead of 0x00.
I've also documented how the region works on Batrider based on these sets.

I can't get him to provide any further proof of ownership of this stuff, and I think pressuring him for it is more likely just to piss him off, and result in no further contributions (he already didn't respond to my last mail a few months ago, so I'm sending this now..)
===============================================================
I'm not quite sure about aerfboot,sound seems s****y but reasonable (i.e. plays different stuff than the original sets).
Can any okim6295 expert look if I did an error on the sound banking/soundlatch sides?
also reworked the code a bit to make it harder for somebody to break it in future. (removed the config table & moved keys to driver inits, define region sizes, allocate memory in init for CD based games.)
should be no functional changes, although it might be a fraction of a % faster due to there being less region lookups.
new clones added
----------------
Noboranka (Japan) (NOT WORKING, undumped 8751 MCU)
(old bootleg set is now a clone)
also fixed
"02873: Many sets in system1.c: Missing text layer"
using the method Kale posted
and renamed some functions in drivers/system1.c etc. so it's clear that they're used by the bootleg 'nobb' only, rather than system1 in general.

Hi. Actually it was a my mistake removing the cpu_eat_cycles thing. I was convinced it caused some sync issues but after some intensive testing I can say for sure it's right. Re-implement it makes the game run at full speed and there are no other problems. Sounds are in perfect sync with video. I'm sorry for my first wrong submission happened in 0.129 where I replaced this speed-up with a wrong one.

All of these games have 4 layers with 2048 (0x800) bytes of ram each,a palette ram with xRRRRRGGGGGBBBBB format and (at least) 72 (0x48) video registers.
The idea here is to merge everything in a single file and to understand the issues with some of them,namely the "bitmap_fill" color (goodejan/totmejan
needs a black pen on the service mode and a white-to-black fade out effect at start-up?),some kludges with the tilemaps/sprites positioning (in both

Subject: [patch] Remove sndindex from SND_START
Hi mamedev,
This is a baby step towards making the sound cores proper devices. It
removes the sndindex parameter from SND_START. Cores should use the
device pointer or tag as appropriate. I also removed a few
address_space hacks taking advantage of the existing fake sound
device.
~aa
After adding these, I also added DIP LOCATIONS for all sets in the driver.
There was an issue where a manual setting was different than what MAME
expected (Demo_Sound in the manual listed OFF, but MAME likes them ON).
Kale helped me a bit with some pointers about PORT_BIT reassignment which
helped clear up the duplicate Service Mode assignments. I'm sure I made
errors, but it's a start :)

Subject: [patch] static/const/include fixes
Hi mamedev,
Here's my aperiodic code cleanup patch for MAME, adding static/const
and adjusting header files. In a few places I went a bit further.
1. arm7core.[ch],segas24.[ch]: Rewrote some abuses of the HANDLER
macros to use _func types instead.
2. m37710: Removed some long dead state save functions.
3. spc700: Removed the interface declarations and functions. Most of
it is handled by CPU_GET_INFO, some of it was no longer implemented,
and since pointerization it wasn't possible to call it externally
anyhow.
4. segac2: I removed the palette variables aliasing the megadrive ones
and just used the megadrive ones directly.
5. snes: All the obc1_, DSP1_, DSP2_ exports were made static. I'd
avoided doing this previously for fear it might break MESS, but after
auditing I'm fairly certain this shouldn't cause problems.

gfx_element. Updated the drivers that did this to use the new function, fixing
random crashes.
Fixed a couple of other minor regressions with recent drawgfx changes.
- Hooked all the PPI 8255 devices.
- Reworked the inputs based on them.
- Fixed the reels visible area.
- Reorganized and cleaned-up the driver.
(only remains to split in driver + video)
memory table to find its ranges, and caches them for fast access in
the future. It invalidates intersecting regions when new ones are
installed, and now properly handles mirrored ranges.
Also changed the disassembly view to call the decrypted read routines
for each opcode byte/word instead of fetching from a pointer, which
prevented opcodes that crossed range boundaries from working correctly,
even though they would execute correctly.

Subject: [patch] Make SOUND_xxx pointers to SND_GET_INFO functions
Hi mamedev,
This patch probably should wait till after 0.129 goes out, but may be
of interest regardless. It makes the treatment of SOUND_xxx the same
as that of CPU_xxx. That is, they are function pointers to the
SND_GET_INFO routine for the sound.
The first patch just adds some missing include files and modifies a
few cases where a sound_type was used as an integer. This could go in
now. The second patch then adds the needed #defines to all the sound
headers (it assumes the previous patch I sent to add the SND_GET_INFO
declarations was applied), and modifies the sound code accordingly. It
also moves the sound clock to the device object. Note that the dummy
sound core is removed entirely. I cheated a bit and made VERIFY_SNDTI
also declare and fill in the sndnum, making this an INLINE function
would probably be more appropriate, but all of this code's days are
numbered.
There may be some performance loss in drivers that expect sndti_xxx
routines to be fast, since sound_matrix has been removed. The
performance however should be similar to looking up items in a
devicelist, so those drivers will have to adjust eventually.
~aa
- Added built-in dirty tile tracking to the gfx_element. This removes
the need for all drivers that had dynamically populated graphics
to do their own dirty tracking. Tiles are marked dirty via the
new function gfx_element_mark_dirty(). Any driver that needs access
to the decoded data must call gfx_element_get_data() in order to
ensure that the referenced tile is clean before proceeding.
- In order to support dirty tracking, the gfx_element was enhanced to
keep track of the original source pointer, so that it can go back
and regenerate tiles on demand. For systems that set NULL for the
region in the gfxdecode, they must use gfx_element_set_source()
to specify a pointer to the raw data before drawing anything.
- Changed allocgfx() to gfx_element_alloc(), and added parameters to
specify the source data pointer, base color index, and total colors.
Many drivers had to whack these values in after the fact, so this
allowed for some minor additional cleanup.
- Added a dirtyseq member to the gfx_element struct. This is
incremented on each tile dirty, and can be used to sniff if
something has changed.
- Added logic in the tilemap engine to track which gfx_elements are
used for a given tilemap, and automatically detect changes to the
tiles so that drivers no longer have to explicitly invalidate the
tilemap when tiles change. In the future, this may grow smarter to
only invalidate the affected tiles, but for now it invalidates the
entire tilemap.
- Updated a number of drivers to remove their own dirty handling and
leverage the new internal dirty marking.
- Because the source data must always be present, updated the atarigen
zwackery and mystwarr graphics handing code to support this.
- Thanks to the dirty tracking, this actually allows all gfx decoding
to happen on the fly instead of all at once up front. Since there
was some concern that this would cause undesirable behavior due to
decoding lots of tiles on the fly, it is controlled with a compile-
time constant in mame.h (PREDECODE_GFX). Set this to 1 to get the
old behavior back.
- Moved decodechar() and decodegfx() to deprecat.h. All drivers in MAME
have been updated to simply mark tiles dirty and let the rendering
system decode them as needed, so these functions may go away in the
future.
- Rewrote entirely the rendering code in drawgfx. This code previously
used extensive recursive #includes and tricks to build, and was
very difficult to understand. The new code is based off of a set of
macros defined in drawgfxm.h. These new macros separate the core
rendering logic from the per-pixel operation, allowing the operation
to be easily "plugged" into any of the renderers. These macros are
also available to any driver that wants custom rendering behavior
that is similar to existing core behavior, without needing to
populate the core with esoteric one-off rendering behaviors.
- Added a set of new functions for [p]drawgfx[zoom], one for each
transparency type. The old [p]drawgfx[zoom] functions are still
present, but now switch off the transparency type and call through
to one of these new transparency-specific functions. The old
functions are also now reduced to only supporting TRANSPARENCY_NONE,
TRANSPARENCY_PEN, and TRANSPARENCY_PENS. All other rendering types
must use the new functions.
- All new rendering functions have extensive asserts to catch improper
clipping rectangles and other common errors.
- All new rendering functions automatically downgrade to optimized
versions where appropriate. For example, calling drawgfx_transpen
with an out-of-range pen automatically falls back to drawgfx_opaque.
And drawgfxzoom_* with xscale=yscale=1.0 automatically falls back
to drawgfx_*. And many other examples. In general, this relieves
drivers from needing to make these sorts of decisions.
- All new rendering functions have a consistent parameter order that
is a bit different from the existing functions. The cliprect
parameter is now specified immediately after the destination bitmap,
to match the convention used throughout the rest of the system.
The core parameters are followed by the scale parameters (for the
zoom functions), and then followed by the priority parameters (for
the pdrawgfx* functions), finally followed by any PIXEL_OP*-specific
parameters (such as transparent pen, alpha, drawing tables, etc.)
- Removed drawgfx_alpha_cache, alpha_set_level(), and the inline
functions alpha_blend16() and alpha_blend32(). To render graphics
with alpha, use the new [p]drawgfx[zoom]_alpha functions, which
take an explicit alpha value. To render tilemaps with alpha, the
TILEMAP_DRAW_ALPHA option now takes an explicit alpha parameter.
And to do you own alpha blending, use the alpha_blend_r16() and
alpha_blend_r32() functions, which take an explicit alpha.
- Updated a number of drivers as a result of removing the implicit
alpha in the drawgfx_alpha_cache.
- Removed drawgfx_pen_table and TRANSPARENCY_PEN_TABLE. To achieve
the same effect, build your own table and pass it to
[p]drawgfx[zoom]_transtable, along with a pointer to the
machine->shadow_table to use for shadows. Eventually
machine->shadow_table is likely to go away, and drivers will need
to fetch the shadow table from the palette directly.
- Updated a number of drivers to remove use of drawgfx_pen_table.
- Removed TRANSPARENCY_ALPHARANGE; it was only used by the psikyosh
driver, so it is now moved locally into that driver and built
using the macros in drawgfxm.h.
- Removed TRANSPARENCY_PEN_RAW; to achieve the same effect, call the
new [p]drawgfx[zoom]_transpen_raw() functions. Updated drivers to
make this change.
- Removed the unused mdrawgfx* functions entirely.
- Added new function gfx_element_set_source_clip() to specify a
source clipping rectangle for any element. This replaces the nasty
hacks that were being used in bnstars, ms32, namcos86, and namcos1
to achieve similar behaviors.
- Simplified the copyrozbitmap() functions to match the copybitmap()
functions in having separate opaque and transparent versions. Also
removed the 'priority' parameter which was only used by one driver,
and moved that logic into a custom renderer built using macros in
drawgfxm.h. Updated copyrozbitmap* to use the destbitmap, cliprect
parameter ordering convention as well.
- Simplified the draw_scanline*() functions to always render opaque.
Only one driver was doing otherwise, and it now does its work
internally (draw_scanline is dead-simple ever since we moved
rotation to the OSD code; I almost just removed it entirely).
Other changes:
- Added a cliprect to the bitmap_t type, which describes the full
bitmap.
- Removed tilemap_set_pen_data_offset; unfortunately, this adds a
random tile offset behind the scenes and goes against the dirty
tile detection and invalidation. Updated the mainsnk, snk, and
snk68 drivers to use old fashioned tile banking. (Sorry Nicola.)
- Changed zac2650 gfxdecode to use scale factors.
- Added function video_assert_out_of_range_pixels() to help find
the source of invalid pixels (generally out-of-range palette
entries due to invalid data or sloppy calculations). Place this
after each step in your rendering in a debug build to discover
which code is generating improper pixels.

I wonder if it is a custom Seibu crap or a known video chip,would be good if somebody can do tests on it. For sure,it should be abstracted,this

- removed rom_first_chunk() and rom_next_chunk() which are no longer needed
- changed progress display to be based on size of ROMs loaded, not number
- changed temporary load buffer to be dynamically allocated
- fixed reload logic to handle skipped BIOSes
Also changed rand_memory() to use a fixed seed for consistent behavior.
Fixed auto_malloc() along the way to randomize its memory when allocated in
the debug build. This used to be the standard, but it seems to have been removed
when the pool allocation was moved into the library.
inlining the check to see if it is running. Removed obsolete entries
and updated the text to more accurately describe each one. Added CPU
tags to the CPU names. Switched to using an astring for building the

which control the font and size used in the debugger text Windows. These
default to "Lucida Console" and 9pt, which is the same face as previously
hard-coded but 1pt larger. Personally, I prefer "Consolas" 9pt, which is
one of the new "C" fonts included with Windows Vista and later (also
available for free download on older systems). Note that only fixed-width
fonts really work here, for obvious reasons.
polystar gets a little farther but crashes when the sub cpu attempts
to enable interrupts.
Removed HAS_PPC* in favor of a single HAS_POWERPC, and a single
definition in cpu.mak for all PowerPC variants.
If you're going to point to banks, they must be mapped. Increased all
"main" regions to 0x2000000 in order to accommodate all possible 16
banks the code might try to switch to.
Disassembled PCs are now forcibly aligned to the minimum opcode size
and explicitly masked.
Also normalized the CPU cores to always do while (icount > 0), in order
to remove the kludge in cpuexec.c that caused us to overeat by 1 cycle to
accommodate those cores that there looping while (icount >= 0).

DECO Cassette fixes/cleanups:
* converted tape handling to a device
* changed tape handling to use a timer callback
* updated to work with new UPI-41 core
* corrected clock speeds for all chips (esp. the 8041)
* fixed very wrong CRC implementation (how did it ever work?)

(You can see a mirrored test menu with a few ROM patches now)
(The i860 code has been found and has been deemed "dead simple" by the guy who wrote the unix binutils i860 disassembler, Jason Eckhardt. He also wrote an i860 cpu core in the past and has donated parts of it to MAME. If he weren't finishing up his phd thesis in 2 months, i'd say he'd have finished this driver by now himself :) )
describes the interface, but does not contain any implementation.
All remaining bits of implementation have been migrated either to
cpuexec.c or to debugcpu.c. Specifically, cpu_dasm() is now
debug_cpu_disassemble(), and cpu_set_dasm_override() is now
debug_cpu_set_dasm_override(). Also moved memory_address_physical()
to debug_cpu_translate(), since it was only ever used for
debugging.
Changed all CPU and sound cores to use memory_find_address_space()
instead of cpu_get_address_space(). The former is reliable even
during early initialization when the CPU cores generally need it.
Removed the dummy CPU core and cpuintrf.c.
Changed the core execution loop to directly call the execute
function instead of using the inline helper (which has been removed).
The program ROM has only 3 bytes of difference at offset 0x008b.
Spacecho: 0x008b: call $2929 ; cd 29 29
Spacech2: 0x008b: im 1 ; ed 56

Subject: [patch] Add machine/space to some callbacks
Hi mamedev,
This patch widens some machine callbacks to include an object (either
machine or space). I didn't convert these earlier since MAME didn't
explicitly need them, but some of these will be needed by MESS now
that Machine is gone and in general all callbacks need to pass an
object.
~aa
quantum in terms of "frames" (a dubious concept now with multiple
screens and changing refresh rates). Replaced it with a new
MDRV_QUANTUM_TIME(x) which specifies the minimum scheduling quantum
as a time value. Time can be specified as HZ(x), NSEC(x), USEC(x),
etc. Updated all drivers to use this, assuming 60 was the frame
rate (this is not perfect but should work for almost all cases).
Changed MDRV_WATCHDOG_INIT_TIME(x) to automatically prepend
UINT64_ATTOTIME_IN_ to the parameter, ensuring there is no
improper use of this macro and bringing it in line with the
MDRV_QUANTUM_TIME() macro. Updated all callers.
Added new MDRV_QUANTUM_PERFECT_CPU(x) to specify that the minimum
quantum should be enough to ensure that the specified CPU tag
only ever executes a single instruction at a time. This can be
used to explicitly require "perfect" synchronization for drivers
that have multiple CPUs with shared memory. Turned this on for
the arknoid2 driver for now as a test (the interleave on that
driver was already very close to perfect anyway).

Subject: [patch] Make Machine static!
Hi mamedev,
This large patch completes the removal of the use of Machine
throughout MAME. It does so primarily by adding machine, device or
space to various apis and modifying the callers, but for some
remaining cases it adds a new api, mame_get_running_machine(), which
will be called instead. There are only 14 uses of this api currently,
and that number should drop over time.
There are a few changes of note:
1. 6821pia.c. I attached machine to the 'device' structure. I'm
working on converting this to a proper device, but that change isn't
ready.
2. fddebug.c. I added a proper header so that the apis won't get
accidentally converted to static again.
3. scsi.c. I added a machine to SCSIInstance.
4. system16.c. I modified sys16_patch_code to take an array of
patches.
4. custom.h. I added the owning sound device to the reset/stop
routines as well as the token. Note that passing only the device
would require exposing the internals of custom_sound, as the token
passed is not the device token, but the token returned from the
CUSTOM_START routine. Better ideas here are welcome.
4. ppc2c0x.c. To avoid changing more interfaces, the init routine
saves the videorom location rather than looks it up each time.
I tried to choose what I felt was the natural parameter for an api,
rather than always pass machine, but in some cases I used machine to
limit the number of additional changes. Some additional cleanup here
is probably warranted, I'll look into that later once I'm recovered
from this two-week project.
~aa
interfaces when handling strings. Namely, the generic
get_info functions allocate a temporary string and the
device in question copies its string to the target,
instead of assigning a const char *. Updated all device
and sound cores to operate this way.
Added the concept of a cpu_state_table, which is
supplied by the CPU cores and which describes all the
register state accessible to the debugger and other
subsystems. The format of the table is such that most
data can be simply fetched from memory without the
further involvement of the CPU core, including the
display of common formats. Extensibility points are
available for custom display and for importing/exporting
the data to intermediate variables for more complicated
scenarios. Updated the ADSP21xx, TMS340x0, and i86 cores
to use this.
Removed the old debugger register list, which was never
used. Replaced it with using ordering from the
cpu_state_table.
Renamed REG_PC -> REG_GENPC, REG_SP -> REG_GENSP, and
REG_PREVIOUSPC -> REG_GENPCBASE. Updated a few spots
that were using these directly. Moved these definitions
into the end of the register area rather than leaving
them outside which put them in a weird range.

Subject: [patch] STREAM_UPDATE update
Hi mamedev,
This patch modifies the parameters of the stream_update_func callback.
The first two patches go through and changes all the callbacks to use
a consistent set of parameters (the larger patch was mechanically
generated, the smaller second patch are hand edits where review or
compilation showed issues with the automatic conversion). The third
patch then macroizes all the callbacks to STREAM_UPDATE, and was done
mechanically except for the change to streams.h. The fourth patch
then adds device to the callback, and eliminates Machine in a handful
of callbacks by referencing the device. deprecat.h -= 8.
~aa
specified when the device is added, and the clock is available in
the device_config directly via device->clock. Updated all devices
that have a clock to specify it when adding the device, rather than
as part of their configuration. As part of this work, also created
device-specific _ADD and _REMOVE macros to simplify configuration.
Dfined a generic device execute function callback, though it
is not used yet. The long term plan is that any device with an
execute callback will be scheduled along with the CPUs. Now that
CPUs are devices, their scheduling will be moved over to this
logic eventually.
Changed various NVRAM devices to fetch their default memory region
from the device->region rather than specifying it in the
configuration.
Moved a number of CPUINFO_PTR_* constants to CPUINFO_FCT_*.
Fixed several drivers that manually created their own gfx_elements
to fill in the machine object, so they no longer crash.
Fixed incorrect CPU display on info screen (recently broken).
Moved device startup to *before* the DRIVER_INIT is called. This
is to allow the DRIVER_INIT to configure devices that have been
properly allocated. So far I don't see any negative effects, but
be on the lookout if something weird shows up.
Rewrote the device iteration logic to make use of the typenext
field and the newly-introduced classnext field for iterating more
efficiently through devices of a given type or class.
Fixed behavior of MDRV_CPU_REPLACE so it does not delete and then
re-add a CPU (causing the order to change).
Modified laserdisc players to walk back to their global device state
via the owner, rather than brute-force searching for the first instance
and hoping that is the right one.

This patch migrates all the CPU definitions into the cpu header files.
The #defines and CPU_GET_INFO declarations were added by hand to the
cpu cores in the first patch, plus a few partly related fixes to the
non-DRC cores. The second patch was produced by the attached script

machine configuration just as any other device, and the
standard CPU configuration is performed via the inline
configuration macros.
Change cpu_type from an enumeration into a pointer to the
CPU's get_info function, very similar to device behavior.
For now all CPUs are declared in cpuintrf.h, but
eventually they should be declared in the CPU's header
file, and the driver should #include that header.
Added function cpu_get_type() to return the CPU type.
Changed several cpu_* functions into macros that call
through to the equivalent device_* function.
The device system now maintains a parallel list of devices
based on type, for faster iteration through all devices
of a given type.
Cleaned up code that looped over CPUs via the machine->cpu
array to now loop using the type-based device list.
Removed start/stop/reset/nvram functions from the
device_config in favor of grabbing them as needed.
Cleaned up the generic interrupt_enable code to work with

with some changes.. made a few improvements to that.
also added another cherry master set, might be "cherry master '91" but
it's probably running on an extended version of the hardware as it has
extra roms etc.
it's still rather messy.. seems this game / hardware was used for the
base of a lot of hacks, and it's really hard to know what the originals
were...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the cherry bonus 3 sets seem to be the same game as goldstar ....
again these were just random messy sets on f205v's pcb with no proper info,
no proms etc. ... ncb3 boots, and does show a dyna logo . cb3 seems to be
encrypted.
This adds the "Queen" game into a driver (a.k.a. the 2002 PC-era game)
(roms are already on the ftp,I believe)

Subject: [patch] Add machine to allocgfx
Hi mamedev,
This patch eliminates the #include "deprecat.h" from drawgfx.h. It
does so in a fashion similar to my recent tilemap patch, adding the
machine pointer to gfx_element, changing allocgfx to take a machine,
and then adjusting the internals to use the machine field as needed.
The changes outside of drawgfx.[ch] were done with the attached
script.

Subject: [patch] Add machine parameter to tilemap_create()
Hi mamdev,
This set of patches eliminates the #include "deprecat.h" from
tilemap.c. The main change is to require callers of tilemap_create to
provide a machine pointer. This pointer is then attached to the
tilemap and used when needed inside tilemap.c.
The first patch simply adds running_machine *machine to some driver
functions that will soon need them. The second patch makes the needed
changes to tilemap.[ch]. The (large) third patch adds machine to all
the tilemap_create calls, and was generated entirely by the attached
script.

Subject: [patch] yet another small Machine cleanup
Hi mamedev,
This patch modifies the tms34010.h, pc16552.h, and tms34061.h
interfaces to eliminate some more global Machine variables. Six more
deprecat.h includes eliminated.
FYI, 128u5 had 523 deprecat.h includes and ~1400 Machine variables,
now were down to 374 and ~420 respectively, so progress is being made.

Hi Arron,
Here is the patch.
Problem was in EI handling and not clearing of interrupt enable flag, as I did in previous. So now EI is done as in Z80 since it is working same way. I have tried a invaders clone having problem, now they work, also MESS machine for which I initialy did this works.
Hope this will be in u6.

Subject: [patch] deprecat.h cpu cleanup
Hi mamedev,
This patch purges the last few uses of deprecat.h from the cpu cores,
plus a handful of other Machine cases elsewhere that were found by
script inspection.

Hi mamedev,
This patch eliminates most uses of deprecat.h in the sound cores by
attaching the device to the state object and using it where
appropriate. Given that all the cpu objects use this convention, and
three sound cores already do this, this seemed an appropriate
approach.

Subject: [patch] verboselog changes for future Machine removal
Hi mamedev,
Several mame files use an inline verboselog definition which saves
typing the cpuexec_describe_context repeatedly. While this is a nice
feature, each case introduces a then hard to remove deprecated Machine
variable. One way to fix this would be to add machine to the
parameter list for each verboselog call. Another way would be to
change them to include the context call explicitly inside a typical
logging macro (e.g. decocass.h). Not knowing which would be more
acceptable to mamedev, I've included patches for both.
~aa
(I chose to pass the machine to the verboselog function.)

Subject: Super High Impact (Prototype 6.0 9/23/91)
Most roms are labeled with LA1 stickers. U89 and 105 have small white square stickers stuck on top of what looks like LA1 stickers with "pro6" printed on them by a computer and are the only roms found to be different than ones in the LA1 revision. I added this as shimpap6 and changed the set name of the proto 5 version to shimpap5.
roms will be here temporarily when I can access it, it's currently down, I don't know what the issue is:
http://smitdogg.mameworld.info/random/shimpap6.zip
I'll e-mail the roms to Guru too. If anybody wants pics or anything else from it, let me know soon. I attached the diff.

seems to be a vertical set of Triv Two. There were no question roms, so
I used the roms from our existing Triv Two set, they seem compatible
