Changed input ports to register a frame callback, which is
called immediately after throttling and updating. This is the
proper "sync point" between emulated time and real time. Moved
all analog and digital port processing into a central place
here. Added tracking of time since the previous frame update
and use that as an estimate for the time of the current frame.
This is used to scale analog ports without the use of
cpu_scalebyfcount(). This is not perfect in the case where
frame rates are dynamic (vector games), but works well for
other cases.
Further cleanup of memory header and code.
All callers that used 0 for the screen number now use machine->primary_screen
As a gap meassure, Where necessary, create a parallel set of video_screen_*_scrnum functions that take scrnum
All callers that specified a specific screen number now call the *_scrnum versions
Changed game info screen and overlay UI to display the screen tag instead of screen number
- Private state screen information now hangs off the public one, instead of the other way around
- Combines video_global and video_private into a single structure
suffixed with _func. Did this throughout the core and
drivers I was familiar with.
Fixed gcc compiler error with recent render.c changes.
gcc does not like explicit (int) casts on float or
double functions. This is fracking annoying and stupid,
but there you have it.
- Added a video_screen_register_vbl_cb() function for registering VBLANK callbanks
- Changed inptport.c and debugcpu.c to make use the VBLANK callbacks
- Added video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_start()
- CCPU and anything using cpu_scalebyfcount() are currently broken
- I did some fairly extensive testing, but this is a very signficant internal change,
so some things may have broke
constructors to tokenized lists. For the most part
this is a non-invasive change, except for those drivers
using MDRV_WATCHDOG_TIME_INIT. In order to allow for
tokenization of attotimes, a set of new macros is
provided called UINT64_ATTOTIME_IN_x() which follows the
same pattern as ATTOTIME_IN_x() but packs the attotime
down into a single 64-bit value for easier tokenization.
Separated MDRV_DEVICE_CONFIG_DATA into 32-bit and 64-bit
versions. Added floating-point versions with configurable
resolutions.
Fixed several errors in the machine drivers which were
caught by the additional checks now done in the machine
config detokenization code.
Converted speakers into devices. Machine->config no
longer houses an array of speakers; instead they are
iterated through using the new macros (defined in sound.h)
speaker_output_first() and speaker_output_next(). Updated
all relevant code to do this.
Improved game info display with multiple screens. Fixed
bug which caused all screens to display equally.
Added typedefs for all the machine config callback
functions at the top of driver.h.
ALL DRIVERS MUST NOW EXPLICITLY DECLARE THEIR SCREENS.
Read on for more detail....
Added device tag as a parameter to the start function for devices.
Updated MC6845 to accept this tag.
Added new functions for iterating through the device list and
counting devices of a given type. Updated search and iteration
functions to accept DEVICE_TYPE_WILDCARD to work across all
devices.
Added new macro MDRV_DEVICE_CONFIG_DATA() which is used to set a
single item in an inline data structure.
Removed the per-screen palette_base. This was an idea that never
really worked out, nor have we really needed it.
Defined a new device type VIDEO_SCREEN. Currently this has no
live functionality, but merely serves as a placeholder/identifier
for video screens. Eventually some of the screen management code
may move into the start/stop/reset functions.
Changed MDRV_SCREEN_* macros to build up VIDEO_SCREEN devices
rather than storing values in the screen[] array.
Changed MDRV_SCREEN_ADD to specify a screen type (RASTER, VECTOR,
LCD for the moment).
Removed the older VIDEO_TYPE_RASTER and VIDEO_TYPE_VECTOR; this
information is now determined by walking the screen list.
Removed the screen[] array from machine_config. Modified all code
referencing Machine->config->screen[] and changed it to iterate
over the devices using the new video_screen_first() and
video_screen_next() functions.
(The next step will be to add video_* functions that accept a tag
instead of screen index, and then move systems over to always
referencing screens by tag instead of index.)
Removed implicit screen #0. This means that ALL DRIVERS MUST
EXPLICITLY DECLARE THEIR SCREENS. Updated all drivers to do
so. While there, grouped all MDRV_SCREEN_* parameters together.
Also removed unnecessary VIDEO_TYPE_RASTER and VIDEO_TYPE_VECTOR.
Also removed VBLANK and bitmap format information from vector
games. This was painful and very tedious.
Changed game information to display info about all screens.
* PALETTE_INIT no longer has a colortable parameter
* removed game_colortable and remapped_colortable from machine_config
* updated a few stragglers that still referenced these fields
* removed tile_draw_colortable from tilemap.c
(From Zsolt): Added support for the new colortable object in the palette viewer
Changed the input port tokens to use a union instead of casting everything to FPTR.
In the future, C99-enabled compilers will be able to achieve type safety with
designated initializers.
to the sound and CPU interfaces. This is still a bit WIP, but works at
a fundamental level. Currently the only example of usage is in qix.c for
the MC6845 CRTC.
New module: mconfig.c/.h. Moved all machine_config and MDRV_* macros here,
out of driver.c/.h. Added MDRV macros for adding/removing/configuring
devices.
qix.c: Moved video part of machine driver to video/qix.c. Added MC6845
as a device in the machine driver. Removed explicit MC6845 initialization
from VIDEO_START in favor of simply retrieving the token from the device
interface code.
mc6845.c: Updated all callbacks to pass the mc6845_t * object. Updated
all drivers accordingly. Added a minimal device interface.
Deprecated the following constants because global constants that pretend
to document things but which are only guesses are dumb:
- DEFAULT_60HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_30HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_REAL_60HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_REAL_30HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_60HZ_3S_VBLANK_WATCHDOG
- DEFAULT_30HZ_3S_VBLANK_WATCHDOG
Updated all drivers to explicitly specify the equivalent bogus times.
Added comments for the "REAL" VBLANK durations to indicate that they are
not accurate.
Subject: [patch] Fix some comments
Hi mamedev,
The following patch updates the initialization comments at the top of
mame.c and corrects/adds a few filename declarations at the top of a
handful of files.
~aa
a new compile-time define (ENABLE_DEBUGGER). This means that MAME_DEBUG no longer means
"enable debugger", it simply enables debugging features such as assertions and debug code
in drivers.
Also removed the various levels of opbase protection in memory.h and always just turned
on full bounds checking.
Fixed build break due to missing ampoker.lay -> ampoker2.lay renaming.
The idea is to create extra work if a driver wants to use these and hopefully
gives an incentive to look for an alternate solution
- Added #include of deprecat.h that rely on these contructs
- Removed a bunch of unneccassary #include's from these files
- 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
Removed ui_popup(). Drivers should always be using popmessage() instead (has been this way for a while).
Augmented popmessage() so that you can pass NULL to immediately dismiss any messages.
