side note: given that at write (lines 339-342) the timer is adjusted with (tconst * period) it seems reasonable that at read we divide by period rather than multiplying.
- removed ui_use_new_ui check used by MESS code
- moved ui_mess_handler_ingame call in proper place, so device UI callbacks works again
- removed toggle of menu bar (MESS related)
New Clones Added

New games promoted from NOT_WORKING
-----------------------------------
Mortal Kombat 3 (bootleg of Megadrive version)
[Mariusz Wojcieszek, Patrick McCarron, Smitdogg, The Dumping Union]
- Moved "known bugs" to README_SDL13.txt
This is what has been there:
- fixed returning (w,h) = (0,0) in get_max_bounds
- new video driver "sdl13" utilitizing SDL texture and line
drawing support. Accelerated drivers like directfb now
may attain opengl speed. DirectFB does with a radeon card.
The driver determines which pixel formats perform best and
converts textures to these pixel formats.
Supported options:
-waitvsync
-filter
-prescale
Supported renderdrivers:
X11: opengl, software, x11 (no artwork!)
DirectFB: directfb, software, opengl (special setup, slow)
Windows: software, gdi (no artwork)
- SDL1.3: Clear bck when moving
- SDL1.3: now compiles on win32
- SDL1.3: Support screen refresh rates, provided the sdl video
layer supports them (e.g. X11).
- Use video_config.waitvsync (previously option was queried)
- -video soft / -sm now supports -prescale
- removed reqwidth, reqheight from sdl_monitor_info; not used anywhere
- removed layerconfig from sdl_video_config; not used anywhere
- fixed yuv issues (firefox) / this was a bug I introduced
- removed deprecat.h from output.c
- Separated keyboard and mouse initialization into separate functions
- added _FORTIFY_SOURCE to verbose compiler define output.
- remove MAX_CPU from debugwin.c
- fixed vsync handling in SDL1.3 in soft/opengl drivers
- "waitvsync" also supported by "soft" driver in SDL1.3
- multiple mice and keyboards supported in SDL1.3
- support for DISTRO= make option
- got rid of "-joymap" and "-joymap_file"
- add -joy_idx[0-7] -keyb_idx[0-7] -mouse_idx[0-7] which
specify, which device is allocated to to e.g. Mouse 1, Mouse 2, ...
- moved define of THREAD_COOPERATIVE into sdl.mak and renamed to
NO_THREAD_COOPERATIVE. Changed references to #ifndef
- define NO_DEBUGGER in sdl.mak
- Solaris now uses -DNO_AFFINITY_NP
- added machine to window_info, removed deprecat.h from drawogl.c
- For DEBUG=1 builds, disable input grapping while windowed
- Fixed WIN32 compile
Wrote setenv function since mingw does not provide one.
Implemented osd_event_* as inline functions for win32 build.
We should at some point merge sdlwork.c and winwork.c and push it
to the core, letting sdlsync.c provide the necessary details.
- Removed keybled.c and references
- Added output.c and output.h. These will look for a fifo or file
/tmp/sdlmame_out and write output notifiers to it.
Added a sample client ledutil.sh to src/osd/sdl which turns
leds on and off and provides a debug (log) facility.
- removed os2work.c
- replaced window->render_lock with event window->rendered_event
For multiple windows and "-mt", the old code would allow filling up
the workqueue with 1000s of entries, since the lock would not block while
another window is rendered. The osd_event establishes a barrier which
is only freed if the last window blit operation has finished.
- Set SDL_VIDEO_GL_DRIVER if -gl_lib is given. The SDL directfb driver is picky about
this. Added reminder: FIXME: move lib loading code from drawogl.c here. This may be
used to disable opengl if no library was loaded.
- SDL1.3/video=opengl: Fixed windows not being updated after another window was resized
- for -verbose, output some information about renderer (-video soft)
- initialize mouse_enabled with option "-mouse". Affects both SDL1.2 and SDL1.3
This will hide the mouse if you specify "-mouse".
- SDL1.2: added blitmode "async" which sets SDL_ASYNCBLIT
- SDL1.2: removed blitmodes "hwbest" and "hwblit"
- added blitmode "hwbest" for antialiased and smoothed scaling now that the
directfb driver supports it. This is also supported by the 1.3 opengl
render backend
- added sdlinput_release_keys to cope with lost keyboard events in SDL1.3
- some identing in drawogl.c
- rename SDL_* macros to SDLMAME_* (avoid name clashes)
- got rid of VIDEO_SCALE_MODE constants. Scale modes are now handled in drawsdl.c.
Starting mame with eg. -video soft -sm yuy2 on X11 no longer crashes.
- some more changes to input.c to avoid resize loops (issue for directfb)
- working ui mouse inputs for SDL1.2 and SDL1.3 incl. yuv modes
- added blitmode "hwblit" (SDL1.3) for rgb hardware scaling
- rename "-yuvmode" option to "-scalemode"
- rename yuv_mode and derivatives to scale_mode
- moved extra_flags into sdl_info
- moved callbacks indow sdl_window_info
- made a number of flags (e.g. yuvmode) window relative
- changing of yuvmodes and opengl scale effects is working with SDL 1.3
- improved fullscreen handling
- removed HAS_WINDOW_MENU - this has no effect nowhere
- removed underscores in header defines, e.g. __SDL_SYNC__ ==> __SDLSYNC__
- added SDLMAME_HAS_DEBUGGER define
- removed #if 0 inw window.c
- added option "-audiodriver" to specify the SDL audio driver
- added option "-videodriver" to specify the SDL video driver
- added option "-renderdriver" to specify the SDL renderer driver
- changed environment SDLMAME_GL_LIB into option -gl_lib
- added some more SDL_ENV defines
- move keymap reading into separate function
- SDL_EnableUNICODE for all builds (not only MESS)
- SDL1.3 : Mouse & text input for ui
- removed osd_event_wait_multiple from sdlsync.h
- removed some includes not needed
- reorganized texcopy/scale2x
- removed effect.h
- removed effect_func.h
- indenting
- put osd_copyfile, osd_stat into #ifdef MESS
- added code which implements events without the need
for pthreads. This is commented out, since
owever, it horribly fails, if
threads > num processors as is the case if you
enable "-mt"
- rename mame_bitmap to bitmap_t
- introduced define OSDWORK_CALLBACK to prototype and
define functions to be passed to sdlwork.c
- fixes from judge for warnings / may reappear (glade)
- more warnings fixed / may reappear (glade)
- moved osdefs.h into sdlprefix.h
- removed osdefs.h
- finally removed sdlmisc.h
- create drawogl.c and moved ogl relevant stuff there
- draw.window_init() now called after window creation
- removed window.opengl flag
- added sdl_window_info as parameter to all functions in window.h
- rename SDL_VERSIONNUM to SDL_VERSION_ATLEAST
- removed all uclock stuff in sdlmisc.[ch]
- minor cleanups
- fixed compile issues against SDL13
- fixed input issues with SDL13

- removed dirty.h
- removed ticker.h
- remove win_trying_to_quit
- changed win_use_mouse to static use_mouse
- removed win_key_trans_table
- removed keyboard typematic definitions from input.h

Comments: Those who know how can use the video clock XTAL to determine timing? I'm afraid I don't know the proper formulas to determine vblank/vsync/refresh rates.
- added support for arbitrary number of containers for render_target
- added command-line parameter -debug_internal (-di) to use the internal debugger when in debug mode
- internal debugger supports all views except memory view
- added "Debug" view to layout/vertical.lay to create more place for debug views in vertical games.
The colors are ugly. Font rendering needs improvement. There are no shortcut keys right now. There is still a lot of room for more improvements.
However, it works and does not depend on any ui toolkit. The interface has been designed to support displaying views programmatically e.g. from the ui.
Currently, the ui render target is used. In order to support views being displayed in separate windows further changes are needed:
- the osd layer must support creating and closing windows (render targets) on demand.
- There must be a mode for render targets where their bounds follows the window size - Currently the render target size depends on the aspect of currently selected "artwork" view.
- Render target needs a name property.
Short HowTo:
- Start MAME with "-debug -di"
- Console, register and disasm views will be shown. Place them by dragging the view on the title bar.
- Views can be resized by dragging the bottom-right yellow square.
- The view having the focus has a green background title bar.
- Hit "Tab" (IPT_UI_CONFIGURE) to show the menu.
- Console and disasm views support a very simple facility to support entering commands and addresses. Just start typing. Hit "enter" when finished.
- Removed GAME_COMPUTER it is distinct by IPT_KEYBOARD
- Added GAME_NO_SOUND_HW (to mark that there is no sound hardware) and marked drivers in dotrikun.c, minivadr.c and tgtpanic.c as such
- Added GAME_CAN_SHARE_ROMS - to mark that there can be other driver using same ROM as this one but with different hardware (common in computer/console world)
* moved colour struct to be another layer (simplifying some code)
* updated hires blending to work with two pixel at time.
* fixed clipmasks with hires modes
Comments: I didn't touch anything to do with the old/new galaxian drivers yet. I'm waiting to do that later as I anticipate that will be pretty major with number of changes and number of notes.
* moved color blending (background & subscreen color addition/subtraction) at the end of the drawing process.
* removed some unused (and not working anymore) debug code
out of whatsnew, I also undid 2 small changes which entered rev 8257/8258 by mistake (one of which was responsible of dynamic resolution breakage).
side note: finally video/snes.c do not directly refers to snes_ram anymore (except for debug logging). this will be of use, if I ever get to make a device for the PPU :)

Doesn't do much at the moment, but the increase in documentation value is
significant (we're documenting the sample compression format, for one thing).
Replaced all occurrences of OPTION_DEBUG in src/osd/* by checking machine->debug_flags
Replaced all occurrences of DEBUG_FLAG_ENABLED in src/osd/* by DEBUG_FLAG_OSD_ENABLED
For the time being, DEBUG_FLAG_OSD_ENABLED is default (set in mame.c)
Debugger: avoid clearing DEBUG_FLAG_OSD_ENABLED
- ui_input_frame_update is now global
- moved element_component from rendlay.c to rendlay.h
- added ability to rendlay.c to define "container" components. These simply provide a render_container.
I plan to remove the above again and simply use one container covering the whole render_target. This container will be rendered after the artwork and before the ui. For this to work, DViews need move and resize support. Render_targets will than be equivalent to virtual desktops.

Treasure Island (Subsino) [Team Europe, Dumping Union, Angelo Salese, David Haywood, Roberto Fresca]
Comments: I'm noticing a lot of "#IF (gamename)_HACK" parts in several drivers which I assume are Stephh's? Could the same thing be accomplished by using the cheat engine and not producing alternate gamenames based on a hack flag? I could use some guidance here.
- split dependences of system16 games from bootleg ones
- moved some .h files to includes/
- removed some unneeded include
- removed some dead code
- added driver data struct to segahang.c, segaorun.c, segas16a.c, sega16b.c, segas18.c, segaxbd.c & segaybd.c
- added save states to segas16a.c
Side notes:
* save states for other drivers do not work atm due to timer issues and/or missing item registrations in video/segaic16.c
* next, I'm going to see if bootlegs can be cleaned up a bit and if some segaic16 components can be device-fied
Comments:
Changing these instances to the current names will make code easier to follow. It's important to know what game is being referred - especially when they include unique information for the driver. (Stephh's notes, for instance). I hope to, over the next few weeks, get this taken care of. This probably could be done in some automated fashion, but I feel doing this by hand will limit bugs that might surface.

- fix a compile warning for gcc-4.4 (not detected by gcc-4.2)
- Horizontal divider bar to individually size views.
- minimum height aligned to win32 debugger
- all ui functions now expect a render_container
- removed all macros referencing render_container_get_ui
- ui_menu_alloc now is passed a container to which to render the menu.
This is a first round of changes to allow using ui_* functions in a more generic way.
(Somehow sams64 is turning off its camera transformation matrix.
There's a game-specific hack in the code that does this for now.
I'll find the real flag someday.
This makes all hng64 games that accept IO "playable." Some
palette issues remain, and 50% of the geometry is still missing
in most games, but they can be played and beaten. Especially if
you're good at shooting invisible geometry :-) )

I also tossed in a one line fix to winmain.c (PCTSTR => LPCTSTR). My
unofficial toolchain doesn't have a definition for PCTSTR, it
certainly looks like a typo.

Subject: ms32 ram clearing
To: Philip Bennett <p.j.bennett@gmail.com>
this ensures that ram and bitmaps are cleared when the ms32 driver is
started, some games were crashing out on 64-bit otherwise due to bogus
values.
=U.S.A= & =HONG KONG= do seem part of the title. Only these two sets (so far) do this. Hong Kong version has a unique version of "gfx1" roms. Other sets clearly fall into "new version" or the original version.
- glade-2 can now be used again to edit the debug.glade file.
- No more need to edit the files created by glade-2
- All "activate" handlers now pass the parent window pointer.
- malloc ==> osd_malloc to prevent mixed c++/c window allocations.
- Added sdlmisc_<targetos>.c again. This was necessary since
certain tools create stubs for e.g. osd_break_into_debugger.
If we do not have this in a separate file, the link stage may
break.
- Applied OS/2 patch [Credit: KO Myung-Hun]
- Cleaned up #includes. Removed stdlib.h were possible.
- More malloc to osd_malloc rename.
- SDL monitor modes are read now when they are needed. This is now consistent across platforms.
