- All service inputs are active switches, not DIP toggles
- Add unused SW2 DIPs as displayed in service mode
- Add a couple of obscure inputs not shown in service mode
Air Raid, Street Fight and Dark Mist all basically use very similar video systems (4 layers, 2 of them being ROM based tilemaps, a CLUT prom for each layer which controls colours and transparency handling)
this takes some steps towards allowing a common implementation of it.
hiscore.dat and hi folder path were not resolved as expected (their path was relative to mame executable, not to the plugin folder). Explicitly writing them as absolute paths gives the desired behavior.
Instead of using a number of UINT8 with the decoded bit fields of the
MIR (micro instruction register), add inline functions to extract the
bits from m_mir. That ought to be faster, because there are fewer memory
accesses in cases where bit fields are not actually used by an instruction.
The frame rate is really 30 frames (60 fields) per second.
Reading memory after cycle #5 after the MAR<- is possible, because
the Alto 2 contains a latch for the most recent RAM dword.
Thanks to the LCM and ContrAlto source for the hint!
I'm still not 100% satisfied with this patch. While I got rid of the weird path when hook_proc() was called for a software list item,
I still don't like the whole m_init_phase infrastructure in devices, which seems to be an arbitrary piece of state. Baby steps...
This is a redo of the split first submitted in #137, with the following differences:
* The newly refactored rom_entry data structure is used
* I've kept the refactored softlist code in src/emu, in order to defer the mechanical process of moving it
* I've kept includes of softlist[_dev].h out of diimage.h, so that changes to either do not trigger an emu.h recompilation
* Obviously, this goes against the latest master
The issue is that I expected any softlist items passed to devices to be fully qualified (e.g. - apple2e:flop1:agentusa) when in reality, they might not be. Therefore, I changed the regex that identifies softlist items passed to devices from:
\\w+\\:\\w+\\:\\w+
to:
\\w+(\\:\\w+\\:\\w+)?
