promoted China set of Oriental Legend 2 to working
promoted Knights of Valour 2 New Legend to working
as each game/region requires a valid default card in order to save said cards are part of romset.
(there's probably a cleaner way to do the device finder stuff but I forgot and can't find reference)
An implementation of the National Semiconductor DP8510 BITBLT Processing Unit. This is used on the InterPro GT family graphics boards, and this implementation seems to be correct enough to enable me to progress there, hence the PR. While I'd love to have another system to test against, I'm not aware of any other systems that ever used this device other than some NatSemi reference designs, which are not (yet) in MAME.
* hp9845 & hp64k: fixed breakage caused by c46e1007a8
* hp9845: HLE of internal printer added
* hp9845: fix to printer interrupt line
* hp9845: moved src/devices/machine/hp9845_printer.* to src/mame/machine
Implementation of 28F010 and family flash memory devices. These are not compatible with the JEDEC-standard flash command protocol implemented in intelfsh.
The analogue joystick is now emulated. Also fixed a few minor issues
with the memory map.
This also adds a generic Z80 dasisy chain device, for use in drivers
with non-Z80 peripherals.
Use "mame einstein -pipe tk02" to attach the 80 column device.
* Removed no longer needed einstei2 driver
* Added cursor rendering to the 80 column device
* Added support for the alternate character set (use dip switch to
change)
* Cleaned up and added save state support to the 80 column device
Many changes in this PR, including the following:
* added support for InterPro 20x0, 24x0 and 27x0 systems
* added support for SR bus/slot devices
* added support for Ethernet, graphics, keyboard and mouse
* added support for serial DMA
* improved timer, interrupt and DMA handling
* improved comments/documentation
Note: ioga is still a major work in progress, and most of the other *ga's don't do anything useful yet, however this build can do some new and useful things, and it's closer to OS boot than before, as well as cleaned up in some of the better known areas.
* added basic support for the system bus variously referred to as SR, SR bus, SRX and CBUS
* added an initial GT graphics card implementation, only supports the video ram and ramdac for now, but sufficient to boot the diagnostic monitor in graphics mode
* added a high-level emulation of the InterPro keyboard
protection handled etc. written from scratch based on notes from Kevtris and Peter
banking in the slot system seems somewhat archaic compared to proper modern banking, but this is how all other drivers I saw using slot roms did it.

This is only a skeleton driver. ShouTime will keep the PCB only for a few more days, so if someone has the time to have a look.. (nw)
* Remove duplicate code
* Screen raw parameters and XTAL values
* Added PAL dumps for supbtime [Luiskiko/jammarcade.net]
* Add dip switch locations to all games
* Emulate LC7535 based volume control for Dragon Gun board based games
* Add DSW3 and DIP locations to Captain Avenger
* Reorganize driver and start cleaning it up (in progress)

Mephisto Monte Carlo IV LE [Sandro Ronco]
Mephisto Mega IV [Sandro Ronco]
Used by games in the cninja and deco32 drivers. This implies proper
VBlank IRQ ack for all games now. Also added and improved raw screen
parameters for various games.
* hp85: added support for optional ROM cartridges. Started optional ROM
sw list (not finished).
* hp85: refactored mapping of opt. ROMs according to cuavas' comments
* initial skelethon: ControlID X628 fingerprint reader
* first draft of an implementation of the NT7534 device (LCD controller)
* fix emulation of ControlID x628 + NT7534 LCD controller
* cidx628: fix LCD color palette on Control ID x628 driver
* Adding a header with details of the hardware. This is the first MAME driver with an LCD controlled by a NT7534 chip, so I wrote an initial implementation of that new device.
unkfr belongs in 4enraya (which was my guess when it was mentioned)
doesn't seem much point in having a complete non-working driver in the source for it when it boots as a romswap.
Basic system is done and it can boot from floppy, but there are still
many things to add, therefore marked as NOT_WORKING for now.
New machines added as MACHINE_NOT_WORKING

Kontron PSI98 [Dirk Best, rfka01]
These humble 16-pin logic devices were commonly used in 8-bit arcade games to control coin counters/lockouts, IRQ flipflops, graphics banking, slave CPU reset lines, discrete audio triggers, screen flipping, serial EEPROMs and much else. Over 100 drivers and a few bus devices have been updated to use the new implementation, and a great deal of research has gone into documenting the physical location of these devices on actual PCBs in the source. Write handlers have been provided for both orthodox and somewhat less conventional memory mappings.
Incidental to this update, coin counters and/or lockouts have been added to Atari System 1 games, Basketball, Gauntlet, Gyruss, Hana Yayoi, Hole Land, Jr. Pac-Man, Mahjong Sisters, Pooyan, Roc'n Rope, Squash, Thunder Hoop, Time Limit, Time Pilot '84 and many others. This also cleans up coin counter behavior in Sauro and Rally Bike.
(nw) The purpose of committing this change, which has been several months in the making, early in the 0.189GIT cycle will be to allow time for fixing potential regressions; I've fixed a number of drivers that lost sound from this for various reasons (hnayayoi.cpp having missing or garbage ADPCM was particularly painful, since the three games in that driver all work slightly differently), but I can't test all affected drivers exhaustively. @Tafoid, don't bother running automated screen capture comparison tests on this, as many drivers are now expected to have the screen flipped for the first few seconds after reset.
- made ds5002fp store internal ram and sfr registers to nvram as they're battery backed
- this includes the 'configuration' details which are actually programmable, so don't belong in the 'MACHINE_CONFIG' section but rather as part of the default NVRAM
- as the exact format of the NVRAM storage is not known, and as not to break compatibility with the 'wrally' set Gaelco offer these bytes are now configured in the ROM LOADING like default NVRAM. Slightly awkward, but probably the best way.
- made the SRAM (external to DS5002FP, but still powered by the same battery) also save content, some games actually use it to store scores etc. as well as the game code.
- cleaned up the Touch and Go Dallas dump, and added some preconfigured internal RAM so that it actually loads the score data from the SRAM properly
- prepared all other drivers for the adding of the SRAM dumps, removing old 'never going to work' simulation code in the process. To do this a wrapper / interface device for the Gaelco Dallas + SRAM box was created.
out of whatsnew
Alligator Hunt was dumped and works, but not yet added, want to verify on a 2nd PCB first as the process does corrupt some bytes and a couple had to be handfixed, so the only way to know for sure is multiple dumps.
- Merge driver with goldnpkr.cpp source to get working sound (graphics and sound should be identical)
- Add version numbers to set names
- Promote megadpkrb to WORKING (with one caveat)
What works:
* HP85A machine with 16K of RAM
* Capricorn CPU works
* Keyboard works (with minor issues)
* CRT text / graphics modes work (correct speed is not emulated yet so service ROM complaints)
* BASIC is usable
What is missing (and I'll have hopefully working soon):
* HW timers
* Beeper
* Integral printer
* DC100 cassette drive
* Extension ROMs
* I/O modules (especially the HPIB interface so that we can hook up floppy drives)
* Other models in the family (e.g. HP86)
create a uPD78C11 derived CPU type for this purpose, with internal ROM map
use internal ROM map for other uPD78C10 chips as it's always present.
add missing NO_DUMP definitions to various games using C-Chips with correct size etc.
pump megablast through the device code as really all it ever does is bank the c-chip window and test the RAM.
* Implemented front panel mode switches/LEDs and reset switch
* Added skeleton bus for "universal" slots and connected control lines
(nw) Default keyboard mapping is annoying because left shift, Z and X
are used both for typing into the TTY and switching program bank. You're
better off changing the mapping to make it less annoying or using a
socket and talking to it with telnet.
