- added warning messages for auto_malloc, timer, and save state
allocations done after init time. These should be fixed when
detected, as I would eventually like to disallow them entirely.
- changed state registration functions to pass through the caller's
file and line number to facilitate fixing the above warnings
- converted Taito F3 sound to a separate machine driver which is
imported into games that use it
- converted the balsente driver to driver_data structure
- converted harddriv timers into devices
- fixed crash in cps2 games due to not configuring the qsound bank
- cleaned up initialization in taito_l to allocate at init time
instead of reset time
* moved k056800 sound device to emu/sound and removed the old code (mame/machine/konamiic.c )
* updated gticlub.c, hornet.c, nwk-tr.c, ultrsprt.c and zr107.c to use this implementation
* fixed various small (and not so small) problems in konicdev.c
* as a result Konami 007342, 007420, 052109, 052160 and 051316 devices are now working and 88games.c, battlnts.c, bladestl.c and rockrage.c have been updated to use them
In particular, device-fied Konami 007121, 051733 and 053251 work fine and combatsc.c, contra.c, crshrace.c, f1gp.c, fastlane.c, flkatck.c, hcastle.c, labyrunr.c and suprslam.c have been converted to use the new code.
Side notes:
* chips which have their own tilemap in MAME (e.g. 056832 and 052109) are not working yet, and other chips cannot be fully tested because they're used together with these... it's still wip
* some cleanup is in order (especially for interfaces), once I get the remaining chips to working state
* converting the drivers above, I noticed that f1gp2 was only using half of the k053936 regs: this is now fixed and, even if I don't know of any visible improvements, now there are definitely less unmapped writes logged by the debugger ;)
arbitrary scaling factors. Previously, specifying a size implied
a scaling factor equal to the size (i.e., specifying DWORD meant
the index was scaled by 4). This is still the default. However,
now you can specify the scale explicitly for other cases. For
example, you can specify DWORD_x1 to fetch a DWORD but don't
scale the index at all, or BYTE_x8 to fetch a BYTE while scaling
the index by 8. Updated all backends to make this work.
Added driver data struct and save states to: cbasebal.c, chinsan.c, mitchell.c and quasar.c
Not to be mentioned: I also removed use of memory_set_bankptr from CPS1 sound banking and renamed a couple of rallyx.c constants to be less generic
Out of whatsnew: Unfortunately, I was unable to make both malzak and p2000t (in MESS) to work without a small kludge, clearly documented in the source. I plan to further investigating the problem once I manage to merge the other 505x variants (later)
* added driver data struct to neogeo.c and added GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE flag to all sets, because save state support was already there
* added driver data struct and save state support to cps1.c, cps2.c and fcrash.c
* added saves to 6522via.c. this fixes problems of gameplan.c and trvquest.c games with -autosave
* added driver data struct and save states to toratora.c and sf.c
* enable GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE flag to dday.c because some of the core changes have fixed the sound problem at loading
* added a couple of comments about header inclusions
@Aaron: now I think there is only a single occurrence of input_port_by_index in the whole source (in src/emu/sound/disc_inp.c), in case you want to remove the whole handler
Also, added driver data struct and save states to laserbas.c, laserbat.c, lastfght.c, lazercmd.c and lemmings.c
Finally, added driver data struct to lasso.c
* Fixed EIP displacement when executing FPU instructions with no 80387 present
* Added 32-bit implementations of SLDT and STR

Subject: More i386 fixes
To: submit@mamedev.org
Hi,
Here's two more small fixes for the i386 core.
First, is FPU instructions used on 80386. On a system without a
80387, FPU instructions should have no effect. Part of the FM Towns
TBIOS (runs as an MS-DOS device driver, providing extra system
functions) initialises the FPU, and tries to detect it. Upon hitting
the FSTCW instruction, though, it doesn't increase EIP enough when an
extra displacement byte is needed. So, I've added a call to GetEA to
the escape() function (called when there is no FPU) which will fetch
the extra byte if necessary.
Second, is a 32-bit implementation of the SLDT and STR instructions.
Basically, I copied it from the 16-bit versions, and modified it to
use 32-bit registers.
Thanks,
Barry Rodewald
