* Basically, initialisers go in the constructor arguments, and things for setting format go in set_format.
* Initialisation patterns can be specified with an enum discriminator or with a FUNC and optionally a tag.
* Formats can be specified with an enum discriminator or a size and function pointer.
* You must always supply the number of entries when setting the format.
* When initislising with a paletter initialisation member, you can specify the entries and indirecte entries together.
* The palette_device now has a standard constructor, so use .set_entries if you are specifying entry count with no format/initialisation.
* Also killed an overload on delegates that wasn't being useful.
* namco checkpoint (including cam900 submission)
* move code into device (nw)
* start splitting DSP support code into devices (nw)
* fix crash (nw)
* prepare for further splitting (nw)
* move code for C67 based DSP PCB into it's own device (nw)
* survive F3 resets without crashing or breaking the 3D (nw)
* less magic numbers (nw)
* optional -> required
don't use fake bootstrap on older type, suspend CPU instead
* restore CPU yield hack for solvalou (nw)
* (nw)
* give galaxian3 some DSPs (nw)
* address hap's concern with a different workaround since MAME is awkward (nw)
* split namco21 driver into 3 drivers as the different configurations really are entirely different boardsets with similar components, not a real 'system'
emulated entire PCB set for driveyes ( http://www.tvspels-nostalgi.com/Bilder/PCB/Namco/driverseye_cage_inside.jpg ) although how the PCBs communicate is not yet known (C139 maybe, which might also be an MCU)
* remove empty file (nw)
* actually thinking about it, this is cleaner (nw)
* mark cybsledj as World instead, there's nothing about this set other than the CY1 code to indicate that it's a Japanese set, and I don't think the Namco codes represent region, just release order.
* newline (nw)
* newline (nw)
the finder's owner. This meand you no longer need to care about the
your relationship to the object being configured and a lot of ^ and :
can disappear. There's a bit reduction in string pasting in macros from
this.
Yes, I have to make this apply to devcb etc. as well, but that's a job
for another day.
There's probably at least one thing broken by this where optional
objects are involved. Most things can be solved by just getting rid of
the now-problematic ^ and : prefixes.
Beware, the device context does not follow in MCFG_FRAGMENT_ADD
anymore due to the prototype change. So creating a device then
configuring through a fragment doesn't work as-is. The simplest
solution is just to add a MCFG_DEVICE_MODIFY at the start of the
fragment with the correct tag.
* move rarely-used output and pty interfaces out of emu.h
* consolidate and de-duplicate forward declarations, also remove some obsolete ones
* clean up more #include guard macros
* scope down a few more things
(nw) Everyone, please keep forward declarations for src/emu in src/emu/emufwd.h -
this will make it far easier to keep them in sync with declarations than having
them scattered through all the other files.
- Create device_palette_interface, which takes over most functionality from palette_device except for the initialization/decoding routines and RAM interface.
- Update screen_device and device_gfx_interface to use a device_palette_interface object rather than a palette_device. This necessitates slight alterations to a few drivers and devices.
- Modify v9938 and v9958 to use the new device_palette_interface rather than a subdevice. This entails breaking a cyclic dependency between device_video_interface and screen_device for this case.
* MAME now walks all devices when generating -lx output irrespective of whether they're actually instantiated anywhere or not.
* -lx is at least 30% faster than previous implementation.
* Only possible drawback is that filtering drivers no longer filters devices.
* Make device_creator a variable template and get rid of the ampersands
* Remove screen.h and speaker.h from emu.h and add where necessary
* Centralise instantiations of screen and speaker finder templates
* Add/standardise #include guards in many hearers
* Remove many redundant #includes
* Order #includesr to help catch headers that can't be #included alone
(nw) This changes #include order to be prefix, unit header if applicable
then other stuff roughly in order from most dependent to least dependent
library. This helps catch headers that don't #include things that they
use.
* New abbreviated types are in osd and util namespaces, and also in global namespace for things that #include "emu.h"
* Get rid of import of cstdint types to global namespace (C99 does this anyway)
* Remove the cstdint types from everything in emu
* Get rid of U64/S64 macros
* Fix a bug in dps16 caused by incorrect use of macro
* Fix debugcon not checking for "do " prefix case-insensitively
* Fix a lot of messed up tabulation
* More constexpr
* Fix up many __names
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
- 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.
without the need for per-driver trampolines. Started removing said trampolines.

(nw) This fixes generic_paletteram regressions in simpl156.c and tmnt.c.
Just a couple left now.
