* Fixed a bug with irq timings;
* Added ODD bit emulation;
* Fixed vblank period timings;
* Optimized a bit the whole interrupt routines,getting a 4x speed gain;
* Fixed an irq mask handling bug;
(This fixes at least Astra SuperStars and Pebble Beach booting,but the latter still fails the timer 1 irq routines...I need to check why)
We can't test these, I gave Robbie a final deadline on them a long time ago now.
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.
Removed ATTOTIME_TO_CYCLES() and ATTOTIME_IN_CYCLES(). Replaced them
with functions in cpuexec: cpu_clocks_to_attotime() and
cpu_attotime_to_clocks(), both of which take CPU devices instead of
indexes. Updated all callers, many of which were using the functions
dubiously.
(a.k.a. the Gerald dump which was assuming to be an original deco HW...it's missing
the "Pro" and the deco logo at the title screen so I'm assuming it's a bootleg).

It doesn't work because I highly suspect that there's an unhandled encryption scheme in it (patch on driver of a bogus opcode +
it crashes after that you play it once + (possibly) wrong video registers handlers).

Subject: Oki MSM6258 ADPCM core
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)
code to get the ADPCM working for most X68000 software. I am unaware as
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 -

Changed flyball CPU clock to a #defined crystal
Added dip locations
This more accurately describes the aux board behavior for Ms. Pac-Man. There
is a thorough description of how the board works. mspacman is a more faithful
emulation. In particular you can now enter service mode (F2) at anytime during
game play.
