- resnet conversion - colors are now signficantly less saturated because of the 1K pull-ups.
This is noticable in the agent's coat and the sky color, for example. As far as I can tell this
correct from the schematics.
- Added bitmap palette selection based on the 128H line. Not sure where this is actually used in
the game
* verinfo: New syntax.
verinfo now uses the following syntax: verinfo.exe -b windows|winui|mess.
Does not depend on compile time defines any longer.
* makefile will include - if it exists - src/osd/$(CROSS_BUILD_OSD)/build.mak.
This was necessary to enable cross builds for winui. winui adds mkhelp to build tools and the rules for mkhelp thus had to be moved outside src/osd/winui/winui.mak
* Tested on Linux 64bit, Linux 32bit, Windows 32bit mingw, Windows 32bit MSVC
* Cross build environment to be posted to the list
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.
Subject: Assorted dumps and other fixes
Hi,
I have enclosed a patch file that:
* Fixed some of the rom dumps for Double Dragon 3 (Some of the dumps were based of the bootleg and not the original.) and updated the name and location to actually match that of a real board
* Updated the dip switches for Combatribes to actually show their position on the physical board.
* Dumped the six GAL's on Battletoads and updated the existing rom names to make their locations easier to understand.
* Updated the dip switches of Battletoads to actually show their position on the physical board.
* Added placeholders for pals that need to be dumped for the various games in mcr68 driver. I got the information by looking at the manuals except I couldn't find a manual for Arch Rivals or Pigskin 621AD though I'm sure they probably have pals that need to be dumped.
* Added placeholders for the two pals that are on the bootleg version of Hyper Olympics and corrected the rom names to match their location on the board.

Subject: clock frequencies diff
Verified clocks on Rainbow Islands and Rambo 3 and Raiden 2. Reverted
sound OSC of Truxton 2 to 27mhz/8 since the original OST runs at this
speed. The pcb I measured the previous clock was 28mhz/8 and it's a
different pcb version from the common one. Since mame doesn't support
multiple OSC I prefer to use the 27mhz one.
Subject: _mul_32x32_hi() and _mulu_32x32_hi() patch
Hi/2.
I've attached patches to fix validation fail of '_mul_32x32_hi()' and
'_mulu_32x32_hi()' inline function when compiled GCC v3.3.5 with I686
optimization in according to advice of 'Vas Crabb'
