05928: nbajamex: game crashes / nvram gets corrupted
- Emulated the Acclaim RAX sound board, adding sound to Batman Forever and NBA Jam Extreme [Phil Bennett]
- Hooked up extra NVRAM in NBA Jam Extreme [Phil Bennett]
- Make most class methods constexpr
- Make color constants (white, black, etc.) into constexpr factory methods, in order to fix a static initialization problem discussed on the MAMEWorld forums.
(Note that while C++14 allows constexpr member variables to be initialized outside classes, current compilers' support for C++14 constexpr rules has proven to be lamentably deficient.)
- Create bitmap_rgb32::erase to simplify syntax in update handlers
Use standard uint64_t, uint32_t, uint16_t or uint8_t instead of UINT64, UINT32, UINT16 or UINT8
also use standard int64_t, int32_t, int16_t or int8_t instead of INT64, INT32, INT16 or INT8
ataxx: Fixed missing sound channel caused by one dac not being hooked up and one dac being hooked up to two addresses.
bestbest: Fixed high pitch screech caused by incorrect addressing (two dacs weren't hooked up and two were hooked up to two addresses).
cchasm: Fixed static noise generation caused by feeding the same bit to both dacs.
cheekyms: Slightly improved sound by implementing sound triggers as 8 x 1 bit dacs instead of 1 x 8 bit dac.
galeb: Fixed sound by implementing it according to http://www.deltasoft.com.hr/retro/galebemu.htm & implemented enough of LOAD/SAVE to stop it hanging.
hard drivin: (all games in driver) Improved 12 bit controls, although centre still goes out of sync.
mea8000: Converted to a sound device.
megaphx: Fixed noisy samples due to wrong format.
microvsn: Fixed sound pitch caused by incorrect usage of write_signed8().
seicross: Changed to a 4 bit dac as samples are packed nibble.
spaceg: Preliminary sound using space invaders samples.
suna8: Changed to a 4 bit dac as samples are packed nibble.
vcombat: Fixed static during machine gun fire due to incorrect dc offset removal.
vectrex: Fixed noisy samples due to wrong format.
wheelfir: Fixed sound, eeprom & analogue steering wheel and brake pedal.
device_rtc_interface: Cleanups and refinements (nw)
- Give RTCs their own phase of machine initialization, right after NVRAM loading
- Make RTC feature flag overrides const, including one new one
- Make rtc_clock_updated a required override
- Add BS, Tab, 00, 000 keys common on add-on keypads as input items; SDL may recognize these, but DirectInput does not
- Assign Keypad 00 and Keypad 000 in several drivers' input lists
- Add SDL keycode for "cancel" key
- Add keypad keys as alternates to natural keyboard
- Move has_keyboard() out of the core; enabled() test is unnecessary now that all optional keyboards are slot devices (nw)
* fixed target texture dimension when -intoverscan is used (this fixes the appereance of scanline and shadow mask)
* added target_scale and screen_count uniforms
* rounded corners now remain aligned with screen bounds when -intoverscan is used (single screen only)
* MACHINE_NODEVICE_MICROPHONE
For unemulated microphone;
* MACHINE_NODEVICE_CAMERA
For unemulated camera;
* MACHINE_NODEVICE_PRINTER
For unemulated printer
* MACHINE_NODEVICE_LAN
For unemulated linking multi-cabinet capabilities;
* MACHINE_NODEVICE_WAN
For unemulated networking capabilities;
Restructured MACHINE_FLAGS into FATAL / WARNING / BTANB main categories, in order to make them easier to expose.
List of ToDo:
* MACHINE_IS_SKELETON / MACHINE_IS_SKELETON_MECHANICAL needs to be sorted or nuked, your call;
* Verify outputted text for the new flags.
* Define if BTANB type flags should have yellow warning or not.
* Add examples (will do in next commit).
This change adds id() property to input_device, which represents the
unique device id. This allows the osd layer when creating a device to
pass a friendly display name along with a unique identifier.
Currently the device id is only used to map a physical controller device
to controller id, but can be used more generally in the future. For raw
input devices, we use the full raw input name as the device id. For all
other devices, we fall back to device name as the device id. The
"uniqueness" of the device id is not currently enforced in code.
This change adds support for configuring device to conrtoller id. This
allows for stable controller ids even if USB devices are plugged /
unplugged, system is rebooted, etc.
See documentation for additional context.
This addresses MT bug #6372. The prior issue is that creating serial and/or printer output relied on how image_load() would create images that were not there. This behavior was not universally desirable (the consensus was that it was wrong for disk images, up in the air for cassettes etc). This change makes it possible for devices to control this behavior.
Currently I have it associated with image_type(); this might not be the ideal fix.
Caveats:
1. Because of how this trick works, it is no longer possible to declare an option guide as static, so I had to make a bunch of changes
2. I'm going to want the hardcore C++ guys (i.e. - Vas) to review this with a fine toothed comb
- Mouse over GFX tiles to reveal pixel values
- Mouse over tilemap to reveal tile codes and colors
- UI tilemap scrolling controls are now orientation-relative
- Make mouse visible everywhere in UI graphics viewer by treating it like a menu
- Add all necessary getters to tilemap_t and a few more (nw)
- Add comment about role of decoder in tilemap creation (nw)
* Make iterators actually meet requirements of ForwardIterator (and by consequence, ForwardIterator, Iterator and EqualityComparable)
* Don't use function statics if they can be avoided - it isn't thread-safe
* Remove leftover crud from when dynamic_buffer and friends were templates in lib/util
It's still dangerous that the const behaviour of iterators doesn't match STL.
Also, simple_list members with similar functionality to STL container members should be renamed.
- Correct address space number for audiocpu_map in barni.cpp
- Add missing_dependencies check to airraid_dev (fixes segfault in tilemap viewer; yes, I know these tiles are 100% garbage)
- Add assert to device_gfx_interface::palette() to help catch dependency mistakes like the above
- Add MACHINE_IMPERFECT_SOUND to cshootert (music desyncs a lot)
The main point of this change is to C++-ify option_guide. It was changed from a struct array to a class, namespaced etc, with the ultimate hope of incorporating an in-emulation image creation UI.
Imgtool got hit with a number of changes; I'll probably have to bring that off of the backburner and touch that up too
- On the UI graphics viewer's palette screen, moving the mouse over a color rectangle will show the index of the entry and its RGB values in hexadecimal.
- For indirect pens, the index of the corresponding color will also be shown.
- For colors in normal RAM-based palettes, the raw (i.e. undecoded) value stored in memory will also be shown. This does not currently work with most buffered palettes (though the Seibu SPI driver has been updated for this purpose), and is totally incompatible with PROM-based or RAMDAC-based palettes.
(nw) The changes made to the core while implementing this feature may look more substantial than they really are. A whole batch of read methods have been made const, and palette_device now has a generic read_entry function that is used both internally and externally.
