Fixed svi318_cass.xml 'interface' entry for over half of the softlist which was incorrect. This fixes any image Fatal errors and allows proper mounting of those cassettes. (nw)
I don't know where the current name came from. Chongchu Jianghu means "made a comeback" or something, probably because this was a hack to update a six-year-old game.
'cclimber' crashes, whereas 'cclimbra' did not. After reviewing the difference between the two dumps, I've concluded that the 'cclimbra' so-called "alternate" is in fact the correct dump.
It isn't clear to me who maintains these softlists, or if the softlists are derived from some other data source. If there is a better way to make this correction, let me know.
ys3 wants to load the intro disk first, but fails after loading the IPL. ys2 wants you to insert disk A (flop2) into the first drive (drive 0) at that screen, then press Enter.
- Fix stupid logic errors in software_list_device::internal_validity_check
- Allow info and feature list entries to provide an empty string as the value
- Change a couple of null publisher entries in vz_cass.xml to "<unknown>"
Updated driver with new information related to ID and gamelist for tourvis.cpp [system11, Tafoid]
Fixed instances in source where "Tecmo" was shown as "Temco". This also covers MT#6293. (nw)
- Button mappings completely reworked: grey bidding/suit selection buttons classified as keypad inputs and put in correct order, and other buttons as console-standard Start, Select, Button 1-2
- Inputs now read through PIO instead of RAM addresses, making them less hypersensitive
- Manufacturer/publisher is Unicard, as manuals and system/cartridge labels clearly state
- Added release years for some common cartridges
- (nw) Link bbcbc in its own library rather than the unrelated libacorn ("make clean" strongly recommended)
in the past two years (including the famous BioHazard 2 beta
usually referred to as BioHazard 1.5) + a rare Korean original
game titled Manic Game Girl. nw.
- Added Might & Magic III
- Replaced mp3-source dumps of Kyuukyoku Tiger and Viewpoint with proper ones
- Replaced colons with dashes in subtitles, to match other software lists
FM Towns games (boot disks for CDs remain in the CD
list, for easier launching). Many thanks to r09 and
Breiztiger for help with info and images. [Fabio Priuli]
Color games which supported it. MAME will now output
a "Rumble" output bit (0 for Rumble=OFF and 1 for
Rumble=ON) whenever the games try to access the Rumble
component… third party applications can now listen to the
output and redirect it to some hardware that can "rumble"
in sync with the gameplay. [Fabio Priuli]
gb.cpp: Added partial RTC emulation to the MBC-3 Game Boy
Color games which supported it. Clock proceeds a bit too
fast during gameplay, but at least it is not stuck anymore to the
time of first configuration. [Fabio Priuli]
- Implemented emulation of the "General Purpose I/O"
port (GPIO) of GBA.
- Hooked up S-3511 RTC emulation through the GPIO
port. This allows to avoid the "Internal battery has run
dry [...] clock-based events will no longer occur"
messages in Pokémon Emerald / Ruby / Sapphire. This
also promotes Sennen Kazoku to working state.
- Hooked up Boktai Light Sensor emulation through the
GPIO port. This allows to avoid the "Solar Sensor is broken"
message in Boktai / Bokura no Taiyou, which is now
playable and to recharge your weapons in all three games
of the series. Light level has to be chosen via the "Machine
Configuration" menu, until we get some kind of camera
input.
- Hooked up Warioware Twist Gyroscope emulation
through the GPIO port. This allows to play the minigames,
even if in some case the input sensibility might need a
few tweaks.
- Hooked up Warioware Twist & Drill Dozer Rumble
emulation through the GPIO port. MAME will now output
a "Rumble" output bit (0 for Rumble=OFF and 1 for
Rumble=ON) whenever the games try to access the Rumble
component… third party applications can now listen to the
output and redirect it to some hardware that can "rumble"
in sync with the gameplay.
gba.cpp: implemented emulation of the Tilt sensor used by
Yoshi’s Universal Gravitation / Yoshi Topsy-Turvy / Yoshi no
Banyuuinryoku (and by Koro Koro Puzzle). Note that the
calibration can seem a bit tricky at first, because the emulated
screen does not turn as the GBA would... In order to properly
calibrate the sensor, just keep pressed right for a few seconds
when requested to calibrate right inclination (first calibration
screen in Yoshi Universal Gravitation) so to get the full right
range; then keep pressed for left for a few seconds when
requested to calibrate left inclination (second calibration screen
in Yoshi Universal Gravitation) so to get the full left range.
