Subject: [patch] Migrate CPU defines to cpu header files
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
which inserts all needed #includes, except for two that were added by
hand in the first patch. The first patch also removed an extra define
of N2A03_DEFAULTCLOCK that would have caused problems with the second
patch.

cpu_get_info_* -> device_get_info_*
cpu_set_info_* -> device_set_info_*
cpu_reset -> device_reset
Removed the cputype_get_* macros as they are not necessary.
Removed cpuintrf_init() which is no longer necessary.
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
CPU devices instead of numbers.
Mapped the devtag_* functions to device_* functions via
macros instead of parallel implementations.

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 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.

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

Disabled the use of PULSE_LINE for any input lines except NMI and RESET.
Added a helper function generic_pulse_irq_line() for doing a single-cycle
assert/deassert for those few drivers remaining that were trying to use
PULSE_LINE directly.
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.

Extended the fake sound devices to have more populated fields.
Modified sound cores to use tags from the devices and simplified

Renumbered CPU and sound get/set info constants to align with

Set the type field in the fake device_configs for CPU and sound
chips to a get_info stub which calls through to the CPU and sound

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.

indexes. Updated all callers, many of which were using the functions
dubiously.

CPU parsing so you can use a CPU tag or index in most commands that
take one. Switched to passing CPU and address space objects around
where appropriate. Lots of other minor tweaks.
Moved memory global state into a struct hanging off of the machine.
Updated almost all memory APIs to take an address_space * where
appropriate, and updated all callers. Changed memory internals to
use address spaces where appropriate. Changed accessors to point
to the memory_* functions instead of the address space-specific
functions. Improved internal handling of watchpoints.
Added cputag_* functions: cputag_reset(), cputag_get_index(),
cputag_get_address_space(). These just expand via macros to an
initial fetch of the CPU via cputag_get_cpu() followed by the
standard CPU call.
Added debugger_interrupt_hook() and debugger_exception_hook() calls
which intelligently look at the debugger flags before calling.
Did minimal cleanup of debugger, mainly moving CPU-specific data
to hang off of the CPU classdata for more direct access.
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.

Changed READ/WRITE handlers to accept an address_space * instead of a
machine *. The address_space object was enhanced to contain a machine

Fixed a number of errors found by the compiler, mostly in the core and
CPU/sound handlers, but there is a lot remaining to fix.
Added new function cpu_get_address_space() to fetch the address space
for calling in manually to these functions. In some instances, code
which should eventually be converted to a device is hard-coding fetching
the program space of CPU #0 in order to have something valid to pass.
related APIs now take a device pointer instead of an index.
All functions that take a CPU device are prefixed with cpu_*
All functions that are globally related to cpu execution
are prefixed with cpuexec_*. Below is a list of some of the
mappings:
cpu_boost_interleave -> cpuexec_boost_interleave
cpunum_suspend -> cpu_suspend
cpunum_resume -> cpu_resume
cpunum_is_suspended -> cpu_is_suspended
cpunum_get_clock -> cpu_get_clock

cpu_trigger -> cpuexec_trigger
cpu_triggertime -> cpuexec_triggertime
cpunum_set_input_line -> cpu_set_input_line
cpunum_set_irq_callback -> cpu_set_irq_callback
In addition, a number of functions retain the same name but
now require a specific CPU parameter to be passed in:
cpu_yield
cpu_spin
cpu_spinuntil_time
cpu_spinuntil_int
cpu_spinuntil_trigger
cpu_triggerint
Merged cpuint.c into cpuexec.c. One side-effect of this
change is that driver reset callbacks are called AFTER the
CPUs and devices are reset. This means that if you make
changes to the CPU state and expect the reset vectors to
recognize the changes in your reset routine, you will need
to manually reset the CPU after making the change (since it
has already been reset).
Added a number of inline helper functions to cpuintrf.h for
managing addresses
Removed cpu_gettotalcpu(). This information is rarely needed
outside of the core and can be obtained by looking at the
machine->cpu[] array.
Changed CPU interrupt acknowledge callbacks to pass a CPU
device instead of machine/cpunum pair.
Changed VBLANK and periodic timer callbacks to pass a CPU
device instead of machine/cpunum pair.
Renamed all information getters from cpu_* to cpu_get_* and
from cputype_* to cputype_get_*.

Subject: [patch] Add ADDRESS_MAP_NAME macro
Hi mamedev,
In theory, MAME's interface macros should completely hide the naming
conventions from the drivers and sound/cpu cores. So as an
experiment, I renamed all the core apis and looked to see what broke.
The most common api coupling was with address maps in the CPU cores,
which this patch addresses by introducing a new macro,
ADDRESS_MAP_NAME (mimicing what is done in devintrf.h). There were a
handful of related problems in some drivers which this patch also
fixes. Some remaining issues I left alone (laserdisk apis reference
rom, video_update, machine_config, ksys573 use of nvram_handler,
megadriv use of ipt), in principle all the apis need _NAME variants to
encode the conventions.

Defined macros for core CPU functions: CPU_INIT, CPU_RESET, CPU_EXIT,

Changed init, reset, exit, and execute interfaces to be passed a
const device_config * object. This is a fake object for the moment,
but encapsulates the machine pointer and token. Eventually this will
be a real device.
Changed the CPU IRQ callbacks to a proper type, and added a device
parameter to them.

Subject: fix for Cube Quest Line CPU emulation
I found a bug in the emulation of the Cube Quest Line CPU.
Proof of bug:
After looking at .diff,
Assume 'ci' is 1, and assume 'r' and 's' are both 0xFFF
(0xFFF equals -1, as these numbers are 12-bit signed).
The result should be mathematically equivalent to -1 - (-1)
which is 0.
~0xFFF is 0xF000, so you'd have 0xF000 + 0x0FFF + 1 which equals
0x10000 but since 'res' is 16-bits this is truncated to 0x0.
'C' then becomes 0 and 'V' becomes 1 (as I recall). The result of
0 is correct, but the flags are wrong; V should be 0 and C should
be 1.
Under my proposed fix, you'd have 0x000 + 0x0FFF + 1, which equals
0x1000, so the lower 12 bits are 0 (correct) and C is 1 and V is 0
(correct).
I discovered this bug while disassembling the line CPU's ROM.
means that multiple changes without any execution will be seen as
atomic. It also means that PULSE_LINE no longer works for signalling
IRQs.
Added checks in the debug build to catch people who try to use
PULSE_LINE for non-NMI and non-RESET input lines on CPUs that no
longer support direct interrupt generation. Over time expect this
list to increase.
Added new item to the interface which is the tag of a CPU
to take the base clock from. Are there any known cases
where the base clock does NOT come from the CPU directly?
Changed Z80 daisy chain interface to simply be a list of
devices in the chain. Interrupt callback functions are now
fetched via the standard device interface and referenced by
the daisy chain code.
Changed Z80 PIO interrupt callback to pass a device instead
of the machine. All device callbacks should provide the

Another static function update from yours truly, almost entirely
affecting code added in the last few months to MAME. The fixes are
the usual lot, changing enum definitions so they aren't declared,

adding static where appropriate. In addition, I fixed a bunch of

* Added the final ALU parallel move ops.
metadata with pre-decoded frame information. Modified chdman to
automatically produce this for CHDs that are of the appropriate
parameters. To fix up existing CHDs, use chdman -fixavdata on the
CHD.
Modified the laserdisc core to leverage the pre-decoded frame
metadata, which is now required. This improves seek times when
searching and allows the player-specific emulation access to the
VBI data as soon as it would really be available. Changed update
callback timing to fire just before the first line of VBI data
would be read; at that point, the frame selection is assumed to
be committed.
Converted PR-8210 emulation over to using the actual MCU from the
laserdisc player. This MCU controls low-level functions such as
slider position and laser on/off, and receives decoded vertical
blanking data in order to make decisions. Removed old HLE behavior.
Note that the overlay text is displayed via the UI; this is
temporary and will be fixed shortly.
Converted Simutrek-hacked laserdisc emulation to using the actual
MCU from the game, which in turn hands off commands to the PR-8210
MCU. This is still not 100% but is pretty close at this point and
achieves the correct behaviors in most cases.
Fixed Cube Quest overlay scaling to cover the whole screen.
Changed laserdisc video parameters to position the screen area at

Found few things not right in 8080/8085 implementation.
1. ANA/ANI instruction, HF flag was not set right because error in calculation of it (missing brackets)
2. 8080 have NF flag always set (it is not used flag but bit is always set)
3. On unused ports/not connected memory values from status word were readed not 00 or FF, that is why I add it as a new internal register, it can also be buffered by some external hardware, so this could help other implementations too.

the driver's memory maps.
Reverted recent changes to MCS-48 core that were very hacky and which crashed
many games. You can now properly override the internal memory map and do
your own banking.
Also fixed 02204: masao: Memory bank error.
This contains three different patches:
20080829.patch
Introducing the running_machine* parameter in a few more places. Next
step would be to make the execute_* function aware of it, if that's
OK. Also used the machine parameter in memory.c were it's available.
20080829_1.patch
The already discussed and probably being rejected removal of
dreprecat.h from debugger.h. I think this is a low-risk patch (we had
worse cleanups) and it lowers the risk of new code using deprecated
function beign introduced in MAME/MESS, because there is no invisible
inclusion of deprecat.h anymore (I think one driver - kofball.c - got
it with deprecated code).
20080829_2.patch
The last Machine -> machine conversion I had sitting in my local
tree. I know the proper way is to turn them into devices, but I still
haven't looked into that.
* Adds MCS48_INTERNAL_ROMBANK define to header
* Drivers which need to control the ea line have to initialize banking for internal/external rom
This is not yet optimal but works as expected with existing drivers and modified mario.c
* MB8884 is a I8035 ==> 12 addr, no internal rom map
* EA line high: external access - this is "default"
The whole EA implementation is as Aaron named it, cheeky. EA=1 external rom access, EA=0 internal rom access.
But all variants are treated the same, i.e. for i8035, MB8884, I8039, the external rom is used in the same
way as the internal.
These ports are actually ports which sink current on logical 0. With a logical 1, they are in high impedance mode and may be read. The high impedance is treated as logical 1 by TTL gates connected to them.

Subject: [patch] Remove useless backslashes
Hi mamedev,
I've been using pmd 4.2.2 to analyze the MAME codebase for duplicate
code, and it's C parser complains about useless backslashes and
dangling defines in #if...#endif sections. Here's a patch that fixes
this, and additionally fixes one real bug, a string in djmain.c was
malformed, it's curious it compiled.

Subject: Profiler related #2 (v2)
Hi, this a revised version of a patch I sent yesterday.
This one is much more cleaner, and the speed improvement is now significant
enough to come out of the profiling noise.
More over, this one compiles correctly... ;-)

* removed redundant and unused definitions from header file
* renamed constants and functions to be MCS48* prefixed
* re-verified all opcode behaviors and timing
* changed illegal opcodes to count 1 cycle to avoid infinite loops
* changed EA behavior so that it is a push from the driver instead of a pull on each opcode fetch
(this may change further in the future).
* reimplemented IRQ generation and timer behavior according to documentation
* updated all drivers accordingly
* fixed several uses of PULSE_LINE, which no longer works
Register access is still performed using direct memory accesses,
but the pointers are fetched through the memory system. Now you can
see i8039 RAM in the debugger. Added internal memory maps of the
appropriate size so that drivers don't need to declare this RAM.
Added a number of variants from the MCS-48 family as it was not
clear which variants had what capabilities. All documented variants
now have internal memory maps for internal ROM and RAM. Removed
memory maps from drivers using embedded ROM/EPROM/OTPROM since
they are defined by the core now.
Added some initial logic to boot and run the PR-8210 ROM (i8049)
in ldplayer.c. Currently this is disabled behind a compile-time
switch. Once this is working, the plan is to incorporate this into
the existing PR-8210 emulation, but we're not there yet.
Before this patch a:
cpunum_set_input_line(5, ASSERT_LINE);
cpunum_set_input_line(3, ASSERT_LINE);
cpunum_set_input_line(3, CLEAR_LINE);
loses the state of line 5. This patch fixes it by adding an explicit
but optional "virtual irq line" support to the 68k interface.
Fix m68k interrupt handling by some drivers.
Clearing the NMI line to clear all the IRQ lines worked, but it just
doesn't make sense. Now that the irq lines are really independant,
the handling can be simplified.
Subject: Various cleanups
A couple of minor cleanups sitting on my disk for a while:
- removed obsolete ENABLE_DEBUGGER occurance
- removed more unprintable characters in SH-2 disassembler
- memset() usage cleanups
- removed duplicated TMS5110 entry in sound.mak
- use machine in uigfx.c where it's already available
This handler works for both disc-only games and those with overlays.
For disc-only games, the base macro is sufficient. For games with
overlays, an additional set of configuration macros are provided:
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY - specifies update function, width, height,
and bitmap format of the overlay
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_CLIP - specifies the visible area of the
overlay bitmap
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_POSITION - specifies default x,y position
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_SCALE - specifies default x,y scale factors
The update function provided to MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY is identical to
a normal VIDEO_UPDATE callback, so a standard one can be used. All
existing laserdisc drivers have been updated to support this new
rendering mechanism, removing much duplicated code.
Added the ability to configure the overlay position and scale
parameters at runtime. Added OSD menus to control them. Added logic
to save/restore the data in the game's configuration file.
Added new macros MDRV_LASERDISC_SCREEN_ADD_NTSC and _PAL, which
defines a standard screen with the correct video timing characteristics
and update function for laserdiscs. Updated all drivers to use these
macros instead of defining their own screens.
Added DISK_REGIONS to all laserdisc drivers.
Added DISK_IMAGE_READONLY_OPTIONAL to support games (like Cube Quest)
where the disk is non-essential to the game's operation.
Fixed bug in identifying the custom sound driver for the laserdisc.
Updated ldverify to identify blank regions of the disc for post-
processing.
Fixed rendering 16bpp with alpha using bilinear filters (fixes
screenshots of laserdisc games with overlays).
Included support for parsing .gdi files in chdman. [ElSemi]
Added new driver for Cube Quest. This includes CPU cores for the three
bitslice processors, as well as laserdisc support for the hacked
laserdisc that was used to drive the games.
[Philip Bennett, Joe Magiera, Warren Ondras]
Note that the SHA1/MD5 for the laserdisc will likely undergo at least
one more change before being finalized.
- Moved IRQ handling front-end into recompiled code
- Added TSTM/ANDM/XORM instructions
- Added SH-1 CPU support, including lower precision on MAC.W and locking out SH-2 only instructions
Subject: [patch] Collapse timer callbacks
Hi mamedev,
The following patch collapses timer callbacks in some cases to avoid
duplicating code. In the case of crystal.c, it also refactors two DMA
handlers and shuffles the init/reset code around a bit. I noticed
while doing this that h8_itu_read8 is missing cases 0x96,0x97 which is
almost certainly a bug, but I left it alone.

Subject: [patch] Fix i386 bsr implementation

after reloading via the MAME UI
Hi mamedev,
The problem with namcos22 games losing sound when running multisession
is actually an m37710 cpu initialization bug. The attached patch
fixes it, and also collapses all the timer callbacks together as an
unrelated code cleanup.
Note: namcos22 has a lot of uninitialized state, so I wouldn't be
surprised if there are other multisession issues.
The structures/names were getting too complex for my macros to handle. They would require hand editing and my computer is too slow to keep re-compiling.
Passes a clean compile.
to whole functions. The other one I'm not so sure about. Commented
code is usually hilighted differently, making it very easy to spot.)
Hi mamedev,
This set of patches has one aim only, to identify chunks of code that
have been disabled by the use of C/C++ comments, and to disable them
instead by using the preprocessor. The C comment approach to
disabling code isn't safe (embedded comments will trip it up), and the
C++ comment approach isn't elegant (you shouldn't need to touch every
line to disable a chunk of code). Using #if...#endif is preferable
always, excepting perhaps if (0) { ... }.
The patch has three parts. The first only handles cases where full
functions were disabled. The second handles cases where parts of
functions were disabled. The third then tries to restore the
whitespace that the use of comments converted from tabs to spaces via
srcclean.exe. It also cleans up the whitespace in a handful of the
files in areas outside of the original two patches.
~aa
Subject: a few cleanups
This patch contains:
- removal of unprintable chars (newlines) in SH-2 disassembler (I
submitted this in the past nd it wasn't included)
- a few unnecessary checks after malloc_ort_die() calls
- changes two romload.c warnings to use GAMENOUN instead
- adds "deprecat.h" in a few src/mame/drivers files (would be
necessary, if the debugger.h one would be removed)
- cleans up the mame.mak by adding all missing defines and grouping
them based on cpu.mak
- renamed video_exit() to winvideo_exit() for consistency in function
names
The ROL/ROR/SHL/SHR opcodes provide the carry flags typically generated by
almost all CPUs. The RORC/ROLC opcdes map directly to the rotate through
carry of most CPUs as well.
integer value, regions are now referred to by a region class and
a region tag. The class specifies the type of region (one of CPU,
gfx, sound, user, disk, prom, pld) while the tag uniquely specifies
the region. This change required updating all the ROM region
definitions in the project to specify the class/tag instead of
region number.
Updated the core memory_region_* functions to accept a class/tag
pair. Added new memory_region_next() function to allow for iteration
over all memory regions of a given class. Added new function
memory_region_class_name() to return the name for a given CPU
memory region class.
Changed the auto-binding behavior of CPU regions. Previously, the
first CPU would auto-bind to REGION_CPU1 (that is, any ROM references
would automatically assume that they lived in the corresponding
region). Now, each CPU automatically binds to the RGNCLASS_CPU region
with the same tag as the CPU itself. This behavior required ensuring
that all previous REGION_CPU* regions were changed to RGNCLASS_CPU
with the same tag as the CPU.
Introduced a new auto-binding mechanism for sound cores. This works
similarly to the CPU binding. Each sound core that requires a memory
region now auto-binds to the RGNCLASS_SOUND with the same tag as the
sound core. In almost all cases, this allowed for the removal of the
explicit region item in the sound configuration, which in turn
allowed for many sound configurations to removed altogether.
Updated the expression engine's memory reference behavior. A recent
update expanded the scope of memory references to allow for referencing
data in non-active CPU spaces, in memory regions, and in EEPROMs.
However, this previous update required an index, which is no longer
appropriate for regions and will become increasingly less appropriate
for CPUs over time. Instead, a new syntax is supported, of the form:
"[tag.][space]size@addr", where 'tag' is an optional tag for the CPU
or memory region you wish to access, followed by a period as a
separator; 'space' is the memory address space or region class you
wish to access (p/d/i for program/data/I/O spaces; o for opcode space;
r for direct RAM; c/u/g/s for CPU/user/gfx/sound regions; e for
EEPROMs); and 'size' is the usual b/w/d/q for byte/word/dword/qword.
Cleaned up ROM definition flags and removed some ugly hacks that had
existed previously. Expanded to support up to 256 BIOSes. Updated
ROM_COPY to support specifying class/tag for the source region.
Updated the address map AM_REGION macro to support specifying a
class/tag for the region.
Updated debugger windows to display the CPU and region tags where
appropriate.
Updated -listxml to output region class and tag for each ROM entry.
- Rewrote core logic, communications, and interfaces.
- Added three parallel memory moves to the disassembler.
- Initial interrupt logic in place.
Plygonet.c updates.
- All communication hacks have been removed.
- Memory maps have been temporarily reverted while new DSP56k cpu core catches up.
Subject: [patch] Conditional code cleanup resubmit
Hi mamedev,
This is a resubmit of a previous patch. The earlier version would not
compile with 32-bit MSVC, due to the fact that its linker required
external dependencies in dead code to be met before dead code
elimination was done, causing linker errors. The proper fix for this
would be to add the necessary dependencies, so I instead simply left
the conditional code in place in winalloc.c and chd.c.
~aa
Original submission email below:
----
Conditionally compiled code tends to bitrot, so MAME should try to
avoid it as much as possible. I sent a patch six months ago to
eliminate conditional code associated with logging, here's another
patch that does more of this. Some notes:
1. drc_ops.c: I couldn't find a LOG_CODE anywhere, so I used if (0).
2. romload.c: I converted all the users of debugload to use
LOG((...)) instead, following the traditional conditional logging
pattern.
3. windows/sound.c: I eliminated the separate sound log and directed
the few outputs to the error log.

Subject: [patch] .data removals to fix reset/multisession bugs
Hi mamedev,
One nice artifact of properly constifying data structures in MAME is
that it makes it relatively easy to spot a class of reset/multisession
bugs, namely that almost any object in .data is probably in error.
Unless the value is properly initialized in a reset routine the
initial non-zero value can't be relied upon, so there's no need to
have a non-zero value to begin with.
With that in mind, here's a patch to move more items out of .data by
either applying const, removing the non-zero initializer (if its
overwritten by init/reset) or by adding appropriate initialization
code. In most cases I tried to add initialization code to a reset
routine, but in some cases I chose an init routine, possibly leaving a
reset bug intact.
Some interesting bits:
1. tms9900 core. The use of .data to initialize the irq_level wasn't
correct in some cases as the layout of the structure was core
dependent.
2. bfcobra.c. By introducing a VIDEO_START routine a hack in
VIDEO_UPDATE could be removed.
~aa
convert between attotimes and a clock tick at an integral frequency.
Changed the 6532 RIOT device into a proper device. Rewrote the
logic to be simpler and leverage the new attotime functions. Changed
the I/O port setters to specify a mask, and changed the I/O port
callbacks to pass in the previous value. Updated tourtabl and
gameplan drivers to use the new device interface.
Converted audio/starwars.c, audio/exidy.c, and audio/gottlieb.c to
use the new RIOT implementation instead of rolling their own.
Began gottlieb.c cleanup. Converted palette calculations to resistor
weights. Corrected video timing. Reduced the number of separate
machine drivers. Fixed incorrect spriteram sizes. Populated full
memory maps for the main CPU and the rev 1 sound board. More to
come.
- Rearranged decoding behavior.
- Updated code style to MAME standards.
- Tested each single-word opcode with custom ROMs.
(This is a precursor to other major dsp56k changes I have made. I just gotta' get plygonet commanders up and running to do some tests)
- TGP now correctly uses table roms (model1/2 updated accordingly)
- removed FIFO hack on srallyc (game now runs)
- added analog ports reading for model 2A/B/C
- fixed some loading instructions in the TGP. that fixes srallyc automatic transmission bug
well, the fix is not that but changing them this way:
program_write_dword_32le(i960.r[I960_FP]-16, i960.PC);
program_write_dword_32le(i960.r[I960_FP]-12, i960.AC);
in take_interrupt.
It seems it came from a partial fix in the ret instruction. the manual says that PC is saved at FP-16 and AC at FP-12
it was reversed in mame, so when trying to fix it, i suppose Ernesto forgot to change the push too.
I've tested this fix and apart from having daytona working, pilot kids 2A works too (that I think has been broken for ages).
EEPROM data, and the size is in terms of units, not bytes. Updated all
drivers accordingly.
Changed the ROM loading code to actually alter the region flags based
on the CPU endianness and bus width when creating the region, rather
than fixing them up on the fly. This means that callers to
memory_region_flags() will get the correct results.
Changed the expression engine to use two callbacks for read/write rather
than relying on externally defined functions.
Expanded memory access support in the expression engine. Memory accesses
can now be specified as [space][num]<size>@<address>. 'space' can be
one of the following:
p = program address space of CPU #num (default)
d = data address space of CPU #num
i = I/O address space of CPU #num
o = opcode address space of CPU #num (R/W access to decrypted opcodes)
r = direct RAM space of CPU #num (always allows writes, even for ROM)
e = EEPROM index #num
c = direct REGION_CPU#num access
u = direct REGION_USER#num access
g = direct REGION_GFX#num access
s = direct REGION_SOUND#num access
The 'num' field is optional for p/d/i/o/r, where is defaults to the
current CPU, and for e, where it defaults to EEPROM #0. 'num' is required
for all region-related prefixes. Some examples:
w@curpc = word at 'curpc' in the active CPU's program address space
dd@0 = dword at 0x0 in the active CPU's data address space
r2b@100 = byte at 0x100 from a RAM/ROM region in CPU #2's program space
ew@7f = word from EEPROM address 0x7f
u2q@40 = qword from REGION_USER2, offset 0x40
The 'size' field is always required, and can be b/w/d/q for byte, word,
dword, and qword accesses.
- All games on all drivers should work as before except "colmns97" and "stress" which crash due to sound system trouble.
- All idle skips are still included. They are quite a bit less effective than they were on the interpreter, but they still give a boost.
- Fast RAM bypass is not included yet so this does not represent final performance. That said, it's consistently faster than the interpreter even now. Example: sfiii3 on 0.126 gets 609% on the interpreter and 961% on the DRC.
Major thanks to Aaron for his assistance with several sticky core bugs and other issues encountered writing this.

macro from the source code. All MAME builds now include
the debugger, and it is enabled/disabled exclusively by
the runtime command-line/ini settings. This is a minor
speed hit for now, but will be further optimized going
forward.
Changed the 'd' suffix in the makefile to apply to DEBUG
builds (versus DEBUGGER builds as it did before).
Changed machine->debug_mode to machine->debug_flags.
These flags now indicate several things, such as whether
debugging is enabled, whether CPU cores should call the
debugger on each instruction, and whether there are live
watchpoints on each address space.
Redesigned a significant portion of debugcpu.c around
the concept of maintaining these flags globally and a
similar, more complete set of flags internally for each
CPU. All previous functionality should work as designed
but should be more robust and faster to work with.
Added new debugger hooks for starting/stopping CPU
execution. This allows the debugger to decide whether
or not a given CPU needs to call the debugger on each
instruction during the coming timeslice.
Added new debugger hook for reporting exceptions.
Proper exception breakpoints are not yet implemented.
Added new module debugger.c which is where global
debugger functions live.

Subject: [patch] memory_region madness reloaded
Hi mamedev,
The memory_region and memory_region_length functions are probably the
two most common functions in MAME that don't take a machine parameter
but should given the syntax of the related apis memory_region_type and
memory_region_flags. Clearly they didn't get the parameter because of
the sheer number of changes needed to change the apis. This pair of
patches makes the change, and deals with the consequences.
The second patch then changes the api for memory_region and
memory_region_length, and fixes the fallout. It generally plumbs
through machine parameters where needed, except for the case of sound
apis which I deferred doing so till later. This increased the number
of deprecat.h includes by ~50. Given it is a massive patch, there are
bound to be a few mistakes in it (I had to make ~20% of the changes by
hand), but I exercised care and reviewed the patch several times to
minimize the problems.

Subject: [patch] Static qualifiers, header file cleanups, and new

The first patch adds static qualifiers where appropriate, adds missing
#include statements, source comments and header declarations, as well
as removes dead declarations. The only part that required judgement

- rewrote PowerPC implementation as a dynamic recompiler on top
of the universal recompiler engine
- wrote a front-end to analyze PowerPC code paths and register usage
- wrote a common shared module with C implementations of tricky
CPU behaviors
- added separate CPU types for the variants supported, instead of
relying on a hidden model enum
- rewrote the serial port emulation for the 4xx series to be more
accurate and not rely on separate DMA handlers
- rewrote the MMU handling to implement a software TLB that faults
in pages and handles changed bits appropriately
- implemented emulation of the PowerPC 603's software TLB, which
allows the model 3 games to run without a hack to disable the MMU
Updated the PowerPC disassembler to share constants with the rest of
the core, and to more aggressively use simplified mnemonics, especially
for branches. [Aaron Giles]
Universal recompiler:
- fixed frontend to handle opcode widths different from bus width

Subject: [patch] More Machine->machine changes, add machine to irq
callbacks
Hi mamedev,
Here are two more patches to eliminate Machine globals. The first
patch was autogenerated by the attached fixup script. That script has
been updated to catch additional cases which it previously missed
(when Machine is the last parameter to a function or Machine is used
in an assignment). This makes ~50 more files deprecat.h free.
A sizable chunk (~20%) of the remaining uses of the Machine global in
the drivers are due to irq callbacks for sound and machine updates.
Typically such callbacks need to call cpunum_set_input_line, which
requires a machine parameter, so if the callbacks don't pass the
machine parameter, these routines have no choice but to reference the
global variable.
The second patch attempts to address most cases of this by adding the
machine parameter to the callback interfaces. This allows us to
remove #include "deprecat.h" from ~150 files, at the cost of having to
fix up hundreds of callbacks.
In total, these patches reduced the number of files with deprecat.h
from 783 to 575.

Subject: saturn CPU patch
Dear MAMEDev,
The attached patch corrects several bugs in the emulation of the saturn
CPU. These corrections are needed to make new HP48 drivers (to be
submitted to MESS imminently) work.
AFAIK, MESS is the only place where this CPU is used, so, the patch
should
not cause any regression in MAME.
The patch is against 0125u1.
Best regards,

* Added new opcode LZCNT which returns the number of leading zeros in
a parameter.
* Added new opcode XTRACT which is a combined rotate/mask (basically
rlwinm from PowerPC)
* Added new opcode INSERT which is a combined rotate/mask/blend
(basically rlwimi from PowerPC). Best. Opcode. Ever.
* Updated all back-ends to support these new opcodes.
* Fixed several bugs relating to shifts/rotates and optimizing out
cases incorrectly.
MIPS3 DRC changes:
* Updated to use INSERT and XTRACT where appropriate
* Cleaned up register usage to enable an additional direct mapping;
this means Linux gets 1 now and Windows gets 3
machine registers if the machine supports it. Currently only x64 on
Windows has enough free registers to do so, though PowerPC will almost
certainly be able to take advantage of this. Gives a minor speedup.
* Fixed front-end so that virtual no-op instructions are still targeted
as branch targets.
* Fixed front-end to mark the beginning of each sequence as needing TLB
validation, since any sequence can be jumped to from anywhere.
* Redid the MIPS3 TLB implementation. Fixed the exception vector and
type handling. Changed the bitfields to directly map from the MIPS TLB
format. Added distinction between TLB fill and TLB valid/modified
exceptions.
* Added separate modes for user, supervisor, and kernel modes. Each mode
does proper verification of addresses now and generates address errors
for invalid accesses.
* Fixed several bugs in the TLB implementation; not everything works
yet but it's a lot closer.
* Made COP0 access checking mandatory in non-kernel modes.
* Fixed several crashes when recompiling virtual no-ops.
* Fixed TLB bug where entries for virtual address 0 were present by
default.
* Fixed bug in the map variable implementation that would sometimes
result in incorrectly recovered values.
This will be expanded in the future.
Added two new opcodes: SAVE and RESTORE to save and restore the entire
virtual machine state for examination/setup.
Added new back-end function get_info() which returns information from
the back-end about how many actual registers will be mapped.
Fixed a bug that mapped the high a low parts of registers to the same
address. This should help the C back-end run better on big-endian
architectures.
Subject: [patch] Remove opbase globals from the public interface
Hi mamedev,
There are several variables associated with opbase handling which are
global and documented in memory.h and thus their use is not well
controlled. This patch attempts to remedy this. Because they are
used in various inline memory functions, they can't yet be made local
to memory.c, but by rescoping their declaration they can be hidden,
much like we hide totalcpu.
Most of the uses are in OPBASE_HANDLER() macros, so by encapsulating
the opbase state into a struct and adding that to the handler
interface those can be converted to local variable manipulation. There
is one use in missile.c in a MACHINE_START that I simply removed, it
shouldn't be needed.
One side effect of this patch is that the various unsafe memory macros
can't be used directly, they will be a compiler error now. That is
probably for the best.

is drcuml.c, which defines a universal machine language
syntax that can be generated by a frontend recompiler and
then retargeted via a generic backend interface to any of
a number of different architectures. A disassembler for the
UML is also included to allow examination of the generated
UML code.
Currently supported backend architectures include 32-bit x86,
64-bit x86, and a platform-neutral interpreted C backend that
can be used as a fallback for platforms without native
support. The C backend also performs additional validation
to ensure assumptions are met.
Along with the new architecture is a new MIPS III/IV
recompiler frontend. This frontend has been rewritten from
the old x64-specific recompiler to generate UML opcodes
instead. This means that the single recompiler can be used
to target multiple backend architectures and should in
theory produce identical results across all of them.
The old 32-bit and 64-bit MIPS recompilers are now officially
retired. The new system provides similar performance (within
5% generally) to the old system and has similar compatibility.
The only currently known issues are some problems with the
two Gauntlet 3D games.
Subject: [patch] Small deprecat.h related cleanup
Hi mamedev,
While doing some work on eliminating some uses of deprecat.h, I came
across a few files that didn't have it that used deprecated features.
A little investigation revealed they were getting it through
debugger.h, typically by referencing m68000.h. Since deprecat.h is
intended to document the files that need updating (otherwise it would
just be included in a common header), I reworked debugger.h to not
import it when the debugger is not enabled, and fixed the files that
broke as a result.

Subject: [patch] Remove more Machine globals, #include "deprecat.h"
Hi mamedev,
The attached patch goes through and converts a number of Machine
globals to machine locals, and then removes #include "deprecat.h" if
appropriate. The script that generated it is included, since the
patch itself is rather large and would have been time consuming to
produce otherwise.
The script doesn't convert cases of Machine that aren't in common
macros. I'll try to tackle those later if someone doesn't beat me to
it.

Subject: [patch] Eliminate assignments in conditionals
Hi mamedev,
Assignments in conditionals are never really needed in C and are
occasionally just plain bugs (== gets typed as =). As such, it would
be good to remove these from MAME so that compilers that warn on this
construct can flag the likely bugs (MSVC does this for example). The
attached patch does just that. In addition, it refactors some
repeated code which had this in taito_f3.c into a couple macros. Using
inline functions would unfortunately have required more significant
changes, perhaps I'll tackle that another day.

Hello Aaron,
I have found few more things not ok in T11, this time I have fixed it myself.
1. HALT - should call interrupt vector
2. ILLEGAL - had PC=0 at the end which makes code not run fine
3. MARK - now it is implemented
Can you please check if your drivers are working fine with these cahanges.
After adjustments I have some things working finaly.
Please inform me,
Miodrag Milanovic
