- Reimplemented SPOT RAM - Tokyo Wars relied on some details not previously seen
- Fixed uninitialized RAM area that caused random sprite colors since 0.120 (thanks to Phil Bennett for debugging the problem)
- Updated Guru Readme(tm)
Help wanted:
Tokyo Wars would be fully playable but it doesn't write complete sprite lists and doesn't erase old sprite list entries on scene changes. Possibly a missing DMA function somewhere.
Aqua Jet needs the analog controls hooked up and possibly some other TLC. It accesses the keycus in a very odd way but appears to run fine and coin up without it returning anything in particular. I just don't have time right now and I didn't want to "hoard" this stuff when someone else could be making it better.
New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
------------------------------------
Alpine Racer 2 (Rev. ARS2 Ver.A) [Guru]
Tokyo Wars (Rev. TW2 Ver.A) [Guru, R. Belmont, Phil Bennett]
Aqua Jet (Rev. AJ2 Ver.B) [Guru, R. Belmont, Phil Bennett]
- Changes and documentation added on how the I/O board is hooked up.
The H8/3334 based TSS-I/O board sometimes handshakes successfully in
Time Crisis 2 now but timing-related problems remain.
US AAF Mustang (TAB Austria bootleg) [Klaus Sommer]
(see http://www.hotsummer.at/guru/Mustang.JPG incase anybody wants to do a quick text mockup of the PCB for reference)
not especially interesting (mainly just minor sound program changes compared to the other bootleg) but it is a complete dump of the bootleg roms, and it documents the TAB Austria bootleg at least.
New Clone Added
-----------------
Wizard Fire (Over Sea v2.1) [Irongiant]
New set becomes the parent... renamed the old "JF" prefixed roms to JE. Added PCB location to rom name where needed and added a note about rom label prefixs.

Subject: LSHIFT/<< expression diff fix
Tafoid pointed out that it's currently impossible to use '<<' in a
cheat xml file, this fix adds an alternate LSHIFT to cheat.c and
express.c and also adds the working '>>' as an alternate RSHIFT to
express.c (not needed in cheat.c as >> parses fine)

Subject: megatech.c notes
I updated the megatech.c parts list with info from more carts and
fixed some errors in the notes for the rom definitions, and arranged
them in correct order. The diff is kind of messy so I included the c
file too.

Subject: MPU4 lamp smoothing
Lamp output in MPU4.c smoothed. Redrawing now only occurs on the peaks
of the 50Hz AC Power.
(Based on documentation from FME Forever)

Hi mamedev,
Here's my periodic static qualifier patch for MAME, mostly adding
static to new code introduced over the past couple of months.
