- The -listxml command will try to find and list any devices whose shortnames are specified on the command line. Any number of devices can be listed at once, and wildcards will be compared against device names as well as driver names.
- DTD output for -listxml, -listsoftware and -getsoftlist can be disabled by a new -nodtd option. It remains enabled by default.
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.
Clients:
- Connect to TCP port 8000
- Messages will be of the form "verb = value\1"; if your client is busy when MAME is spamming, you may get multiple messages glued together by \1 separators. (\1 was chosen because it's neutral on Win32/Mac/Linux).
- You will get a "hello = 1" message upon connection to MAME, and a "mamerun = 0" message when MAME shuts down.
- You may send "send_id = n" to MAME to get IDs where n=0 means ROM set name of current game, 1-? = output node names
- MAME will reply "req_id = string\1"; this is currently the only case where a string will be returned instead of an integer value.
- A working example POSIX client will be released soon.

* Major refactoring of debugger core [Ryan Holtz]
* Eliminate globals/file statics
* Remove lots of stuff from global scope
* Use std::function for custom command registration
* Eliminate some trampolines
* Build fixes from Vas Crabb and balr0g
I've split the massive PROM blocks up into something more modern looking (the single PROM region with all PROMs crammed into it is an old MAME thing from when only one PROM region was allowed) I've also made use of multipe palettes and gfxdecode structures (required using rgb32 to draw to)
As the boards are quite modular this seems to make sense to me, the palette for the sprites and the sprite decode + sprite palette decode is the same across all games while the rest of the hardware changes a bit. This should allow us to step closer to converting the various boards into devices and piecing them together more logically.
