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
final string.
Unfortunately, still a bit too much overhead to leave it on in all builds.

60000c is an unknown port,but 700002 is for arm power sensor. So I'm guessing that's not related at all with the ym sound chip.

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

(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.

Hi mamedev,
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

Oggetto: Gold Star update
I converted the Reels video to Tilemaps
merged cmaster.c with this, since it's basically the same thing, but
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.

Hi mamedev,
This patch eliminates most uses of deprecat.h in the sound cores by

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.)

Updated the fcompress APIs to allow for specifying a compression level.
Removed the concept of state saving tags, which was a hack to get save states
to work with multiple CPU cores. Simplified the state saving system as a
result, performing the operation in a single pass and without allocating
a full blob of memory. Also enabled minimal compression.
Added new function cpuexec_describe_context(machine) which can be
used in logerror() and other printf-style functions to return a
description of the current CPU/PC given only the machine. Changed
several dozen sites to use this instead of directly interrogating
the activecpu.
Removed all other uses of activecpu throughout the system. Removed
activecpu from the machine structure to prevent future abuse.
Removed cpu_push_context() and cpu_pop_context(), and all call
sites.
Voodoo devices now require a CPU to be defined in the configuration
in order to know whom to steal cycles from or stall when FIFOs get

debugger. In order to get the OSD to update, a new function
debug_view_flush_updates() must be called. Currently this is automatically
called before osd_wait_for_debugger(), and during the periodic updates while
executing. The OSD code may occasionally need to call it under other
circumstances (for example, the Windows code calls it explicitly while
tracking scrollbar thumbs to get live scrolling).
This is a reworked/expanded version of the patch I sent yesterday.
This one is split into three parts:
1. This introduces function macros for SAMPLES_START,
CUSTOM_{START,STOP,RESET}, and ANTIC_RENDERER.
2. This introduces running_machine *machine throughout MAME.
Principally it adds running_machine *machine = Machine to the top of
functions, but in some static functions the parameter is added
directly. Some similar changes in 99xxcore.h, v9938.c, v9938mod.c,
galaxold.c, psx.c, taito_l.c are also made to eliminate Machine
params. No global API is changed.
3. This changes the APIs introduced in the first part to pass device
or space as appropriate. A few similar changes in some other global
apis are made as well.
The net result of this sequence of patches is to remove 40% of the
Machine references and 27 deprecat.h includes.

Subject: Another 8080/85 change from me
Hi Aaron,
I have noticed that there are some problems in interrupt handling in 8080 implementation. Thing is that there are some cases that made a problem while implementing one
computer emulation. Thing is that there is same computer with Z80 and 8080 cpu and ROM's are same, but interrupts were not triggered. So I have searched and found
two problems fixed with this patch.
1. previous implementation cleared interrupt enable bit on interrupt trigger which is wrong since interrupts should stay enabled
2. serve interrupt number was not cleared after interrupt is executed, so if same one is triggered it will not be catched.
I have tested with 8080 MESS drivers, and picked some of MAME drivers using 8080 and 8085, and there were no bad things found.

recent cpu core changes. Specifically, it adds a fake device
implementation similar to the one the cpu cores were using in 128u3
(i.e. it only provides the machine pointer and the token), and makes
some interface adjustments aligned to 128u4 (i.e. adding
snd_class_header, adding get_ to various getter functions). The
primary benefit of this change is the removal of "deprecat.h" from 23
sound cores. I also adjusted ui.c to stop calling sndnum_clock and
access the clock data similarly to how it does the cpu clock data.

Also fixed debugger memory leak.
Added a number of new cputag_* macros to cpuexec.h.
To fix this, I had to break old INP files. While I was in there,
I added corefile support for compressing/decompressing data on
the fly, and enabled it for INPs, meaning the newer format INPs
are output and processed compressed.
Added the concept of 'subviews' to the debugger views. The core
now creates a list of possible subviews, and the OSD can select
between them. This removes code from the OSD that was previously
required to find all possible memory and disassembly views.
Added machine parameters to debugger console output functions.
Fixed some oddities in the memory view.
Moved globals to hang off of the machine structure.
Fixed bug where the visiblecpu was not updated immediately upon
a break.
Important note for OSD ports: the get/set property functions have
been retired for debug_views. Instead, there are specific functions
to perform each get/set operation. In addition, the format of the
update callback has changed to pass the osd private data in, and
the update callback/osd private data must be passed in at view
allocation time. And osd_wait_for_debugger() now gets a CPU object
instead of the machine.
Removed extra debugger tracking for address spaces and added some
of the useful data to the address_space structure. Updated all
debugger commands and views to use CPU and address space objects
where appropriate.
Added new memory functions for converting between bytes and
addresses, and for performing translations for a given address
space. Removed debugger macros that did similar things in favor
of calling these functions.
Rewrote most of the memory view handling. Disasm and register views
still need some additional tweaking.

It should also be noted that many games using this chip are clipping at the moment. This is something that might date back to when sound mixing was upgraded to 32-bit. It is sensible for the 6295 emulator to output at this level because it ensures that bits of precision are not lost, so the mixing levels in the drivers should be adjusted to avoid clipping.

If you're the one who dumps something and put the rest of the team in a situation where the submission can't be tested, then don't expect the driver to stay. Numerous chances have been given.
Unacceptable due to inability to test.
I won't be writing this driver, it fits somewhere between System21 and System22, with multiple PCBs etc. I just created this to document what we know so far. Chances are Phil or somebody with good Namco knowledge will have to emulate it.

Hi,
I have attached the Oki MSM6258 ADPCM sound core, which is intended for
use with the MESS Sharp X68000 driver. This code was written by Phil
Bennett, so he ought to be the one getting the credit for it. I have
mostly worked on the MESS X68000 driver and HD63450 (DMA controller)

to if Phil has already submitted this or not yet.
I've tested compiling and running MAME itself (including a debug build)
with the MSM6258 core in it, and experienced no issues. Although there
is nothing in MAME to test it specifically with, it doesn't cause any
problems with MAME use in general.
The current MESS X68000 driver code with the MSM6258 enabled is
available for those that want to test that out -

Moved memory global state into a struct hanging off of the machine.

return a boolean indicating whether the given address was successfully
located in a bank. Change raw/decrypted access to look at this result, and
if the given address is not in a bank, calls through to the standard read
handlers.
In theory, this should prevent crashes when accessing opcodes. It does in
fact prevent mp_col3 from crashing.
Fixed address space mapping handlers to invalidate direct access regions
if a change is made to the mapping. This is needed to prevent the Sega
dynamic memory mapping chips from falling over.
H8:
- Added support for 8-bit H8 family MCUs, starting with the H8/3344
- Pointer-ified all H8 cores
- Some cleanup and renames toward additional future work
System 23:
- Added extremely preliminary support for I/O boards with the H8/3344
- Added new game: Motocross Go! (MG3 Ver. A) [credit Guru]
Removed opbase globals to the address_space structure.
Cleaned up names of pointers (decrypted and raw versus rom and ram).
Added inline functions to read/write data via any address space.
Added macros for existing functions to point them to the new functions.
Other related cleanups.
(SMPC irq bit/introdon irq register hack/pblbeach framebuffer hack plus some more)
(Note: some games have issues with it,but they'll be hopefully fixed on the next couple of updates)
into the core proper and removed unused macros. Changed all
external interfaces to pass the CPU device. Enabled 64-bit
operations by default. Re-derived the interface functions to
cascade and share code more aggressively.
These changes also seem to have cured the taito_f3 issues as
far as I can tell (at least pbobble3 seems right now).
state_save_combine_module_and_tag() function in favor of passing
the tag when registering. Revisited all save state item registrations
and changed them to use the tag where appropriate.
This patch implements a "plug-in board" device for the Naomi.
It represents the rom boards for the various games and the dimm board for the gdrom.
Now the dimm board part contains only a routine to load the "rom file" from the gdrom chd, but in the future it will be fully implemented with its own sh4 processor, security chip and so on.
Extracted .rom files are no longer needed, rom file is extracted in code from the CHD.
(needs a little cleanup as it was based on pre-aaron 'change everything' code, but it's functional)
(yes I did a quick test,current implementation makes (for example) human skin colors memory address to be equal to the palaces colors memory address in the intro)
* Fixed Final Arch broken Test Mode;
* Demoted Super Major League / Final Arch as GAME_NOT_WORKING,they hangs randomly due of SH-2 master/slave communication RAM issues;
* Removed GAME_NOT_WORKING flag to Fighting Dragoon Legend Elan Doree,because protection affects only in-game graphics and not gameplay;
new clones added

Violent Storm (ver UAC) [Bill DeLeo]
(this is newer than the existing USA set, the night slashers he dumped turned out to be the same as an existing set)

Puzzle Bobble 2 (Ver 2.3O 1995/07/31) [Ross Myers]
---- note
At the moment the Taito F3 driver is pretty broken, it has been since the 68000 core changes in the last u update.
For this clone to boot I've had to add a patch, it's checking something, can somebody find out what? Seems odd.
I've also removed all speedups in the driver, the 68020 games are fast enough on modern hardware that the speedups aren't really worthwhile.
