and reports if no white flags were seen.
Fixed bug in aviio.c which could cause an infinite loop if attempting
to read sound beyond the end of the file.
Rewrote the white flag detection to use a histogram for outlier detection
and peak identification.
tool which walks through either an AVI or CHD capture from a
laserdisc and ensures that there are no anomalies lurking in
the VBI data.
Added new option to chdman, where if you use -createav with
a special filename (either 2:2 or 3:2) it will create a fake
laserdisc files with the equivalent cadence. This can be used
for testing until full captures are available. Most games used
2:2 apart from Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, which were 3:2.
Note that even though these files are essentially blank, they
are Huffman-compressed, meaning that the maximum compression
ratio you will get is 8:1, so they still end up ~5GB.
Moved error strings from chdman.c to chd.c, where they can be
fetched from any caller via the new chd_error_string()
function.
Updated vbiparse to improve Manchester code decoding. It now
assigns a confidence level per bit based on how solid the
data is. Also added a new function vbi_parse_all which parses
the white flag and all three lines of metadata from a
laserdisc frame. It then compares line 17 and 18 against each
other and selects the most likely candidate based on per-bit
confidence and other factors.
Added frame number display to laserdsc.c. It is off by
default, though most players can be configured to turn it on
(not sure if any actually do). It can be manually toggled via
the backslash key during playback.
now simply requires an AVI file input.
Relaxed VBI Manchester code clocking to allow for a little bit
of wiggle when finding the clock.
Changed laserdisc support to parse white flags and other data
from the VBI data directly, rather than relying on the textual
metadata. Expanded video frame cache to 3. Changed the way
frames are assembled to decrease the likelihood of getting an
interlaced weave. Fixed sound creation so that it is done at
reset time instead of device start, when the sound devices aren't
yet live.
Fixed bug in winwork that caused the creation of single work
items to return NULL, and thus lead to massive memory leaks when
using A/V CHDs.
- removed years from copyright notices
- removed redundant (c) from copyright notices
- updated "the MAME Team" to be "Nicola Salmoria and the MAME Team"
beastrzb097u2red.patch
- added GAME_NOT_WORKING flag, so this bogus bug report can be
removed (not even worth 1 buck!)
20080104_1.patch
- fixes a memory in src/mame/machine/stvcd.c
memoryleak0118u1ora.patch
- fixes a memory leak, that only happened when no RawInput API was
available
memory_leak0111u6ora_1.patch
- only a partial patch - model3.c still missing
This small patch makes some minor "code quality" improvements to MAME.
First off, some remaing static/const qualifier missed cases were
addressed. Secondly, a few cases of missing #include "foo.h" were
added. Thirdly, a few global names were modified to make them less
generic/more consistent (voodoo.c, vrender0.c, lethal.c, rungun.c,
zac2650.c). Fourthly, some dead/useless code was removed
(i8051.c,model1.c,romcmp.c).
