- cleaned up and merged ninjakd2, mnight and omegaf drivers into a single driver
- added flip screen support to all games
- fixed sprite overdraw mode:
- ninjakd2 congratulations screen (e.g. stage 3) shows japanese characters which were previously missing
- in ninjakd2, at the beginning of a level items are visible during the initial fade in. I'm not sure if this is correct but the other effects wouldn't work otherwise
- in mnight attract mode, when the big ship is firing the other sprites no longer leave trails
- in mnight at the end of a level the screen is slowly filled with balls and then slowly cleared to begin the following level. Same effect in the death sequence during attract mode.
- added proper computation of sprites to be drawn taking into account double size sprites. This fixes sticking shots in mnight without need for a hack.
- lowered ninjakd2 PCM playback rate to 13020 (from 16000). This seems to sound better and is a round division from one of the master clocks.
- removed ROM patch that was used to avoid the input protection in omegaf, added a rough but effective protection simulation.
- corrected some dip switches
- hooked up sound cpu reset line
- simplified ROM loading for the older games swizzling address lines in driver init.
- added MESS PC-Engine emulatation
- added Blazing Lazers (working)
- added Paranoia (non-working due to lack of jamma interface
emulation)
- fixed MAME debug build under VC2003
Please co-credit Charles MacDonald & Mr. Do for Blazing Lazers.
Note to Nathan: video/vdc.* re taken as-is from MESS, for the
machine stuff I extracted common code (to be shared by MAME and
MESS) and created machine/pcecommn.*
* fixes skychut37b1yel
* fixes skychut37b6gre
* adds samples to ipm invaders - just rename your old invaders samples to ipminvad to test
* added - amongst others - "capsule" dip switch to ipm invaders
* sound ports identified
* demo sound and cabinet type driver configuration
* more I don't remember
* XTAL-based timing
* Correct video timing
* Full memory map
* Correct memory usage ("zero page" RAM is shared with videoram)
* Removed all input hacks
* Fixed interrupt generation
* Connected coin counters
* Added save state support
Also fixed incorrect dependency in cdrom.c.
- fixed mario0110u1gre
- rewrote driver, separate MACHINE_DRIVER(mario_audio)
- palette from schematics
- video timing from schematics
- driver configuration switch Nintendo/Std Monitor
- got rid of COLORTABLE
- clocks as defines in .h
- use XTAL_*
- cvs games: according to PCBInfos speech chip is TMS5100.
Changed driver to use TMS5100 and "game system operational" now sounds more natural
- removed sound/m58817.*
- added support for multiple coefficients maps to tms5110.*
- added coefficient maps for TMS5100 and M58817 from documented sources to tms5110r.c
- fixed interpolation factors (see tms5110r.c for reason)
- made lattice calculation precision 9bit
- added support for READBIT and LOADADDRESS commands to tms5110.c
- more changes in line with various patents
* Cleaned up zeus wave RAM accessors.
* Changed rendering code to allow for greater parallelism on multicore systems.
* Removed some vestigial zeus 2 hacks.
* Reduced visible area to remove artifacts.
* Made right/bottom vertices inclusive to fix some gapping issues.
* Fixed invasn lightgun offset.
* Marked invasn as playable.
Zeus 2 hardware:
* Fixed ROM loading, added banking support.
* Separated zeus 2 video implementation from zeus implementation.
* Implemented direct pixel accesses; enough to get startup screens to show.
ADSP-2100:
* Properly documented ADSP-2104 internal memory map.
Removed many hacks from both.
A couple of games changed status from GAME_NOT_WORKING to fully playable:
stagger1, redhawk, redhawkb, grdnstrm, spec2k, firehawk (all - former afega.c)
and tharrier/tharrierj(nmk16.c)
