Puzzle Bobble 2 (Ver 2.3O 1995/07/31) [Ross Myers]
---- note
At the moment the Taito F3 driver is pretty broken, it has been since the 68000 core changes in the last u update.
For this clone to boot I've had to add a patch, it's checking something, can somebody find out what? Seems odd.
I've also removed all speedups in the driver, the 68020 games are fast enough on modern hardware that the speedups aren't really worthwhile.
are broken.
Changed READ/WRITE handlers to accept an address_space * instead of a
machine *. The address_space object was enhanced to contain a machine
and a pointer to the relevant CPU object.
Fixed a number of errors found by the compiler, mostly in the core and
CPU/sound handlers, but there is a lot remaining to fix.
Added new function cpu_get_address_space() to fetch the address space
for calling in manually to these functions. In some instances, code
which should eventually be converted to a device is hard-coding fetching
the program space of CPU #0 in order to have something valid to pass.
* Better management of hblank/vblank bits;
* Makes dynamic resolutions to be called with a timer instead of run-time;
* Makes dynamic resolutions to not be changed at every frame but only when there's an actual change;
This fixes Golden Axe: the Duel gameplay speed at the cost of breaking up Groove on Fight coin counter at start-up.

Beast Busters (US, Version 2) [Brian Hargrove]
(he hasn't confirmed if he's OK being credited with his real name yet, so if the situation changes I'll mail the list)
I've also DEMOTED Beast Busters to non-working. As soon as you calibrate the guns the game fails, and without calibrated guns you can't really play. The gun reading is hacked, as are the gun interrupts. This needs fixing *properly*, at which poin I imagine it will actually work, and no just hang after calibration. From what I can tell it's never worked after calibration hence the demotion.
original dump was fine, there just needed to be a gap in the rom loading.. there are still some 'nasty' sounds, but this seems typical of our ymz280b emulation, I'm still pretty sure the ADPCM decode is broken, it must be 'special'.
I've also promoted them to playable.. so

Jackie Chan - The Kung-Fu Master [David Haywood, Andreas Naive, stephh, Angelo Salese]
Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire [David Haywood, Andreas Naive, stephh, Angelo Salese]
this documents the CPS2 Phoenix sets, and what happens to a dead CPS2 board.
I think it's important we start keeping track of these now as they're finding their way onto bootleg boards, with further hacks and modifications made along the way.
Far from an ideal situation, but, our job is to document the facts, not discriminate by ignoring them.
- removed unnecessary deprecat.h includes
- replaces Machine with existing running_machine* instances
- re-adds a peroid I accidentally removed when changed a message to
use defines
- adds a running_machine* to win_window_info and debugwin_info to get
rid of most Machine occurances and clean up the running_machine*
parameters I added in the past
