Changed the Megatouch III roms 36 & 37 to be the same as the new redump based on my own redump of Megatouch IV and the rom names. IE: megat3.u36 == 9255-01_u36-ro the 01 in the rom name is the "revision" number. Normally the U36 & U37 doesn't change just U32 & U38 for program revisions.

Hello Aaron,
As I have announced before, here are some changes on pic8259.
for changelog:
[PIC8259] Adding support for 8080/85 mode interrupts
Please just check it against x86 platform, not sure if is_x86 in ICW4 is obligatory in case of using it on x86 platform.

Subject: [patch] Small deprecat.h related cleanup
Hi mamedev,
While doing some work on eliminating some uses of deprecat.h, I came
across a few files that didn't have it that used deprecated features.
A little investigation revealed they were getting it through
debugger.h, typically by referencing m68000.h. Since deprecat.h is
intended to document the files that need updating (otherwise it would
just be included in a common header), I reworked debugger.h to not
import it when the debugger is not enabled, and fixed the files that
broke as a result.

Subject: [patch] Remove more Machine globals, #include "deprecat.h"
Hi mamedev,
The attached patch goes through and converts a number of Machine
globals to machine locals, and then removes #include "deprecat.h" if
appropriate. The script that generated it is included, since the
patch itself is rather large and would have been time consuming to
produce otherwise.
The script doesn't convert cases of Machine that aren't in common
macros. I'll try to tackle those later if someone doesn't beat me to
it.

Subject: [patch] Eliminate assignments in conditionals
Hi mamedev,
Assignments in conditionals are never really needed in C and are
occasionally just plain bugs (== gets typed as =). As such, it would
be good to remove these from MAME so that compilers that warn on this
construct can flag the likely bugs (MSVC does this for example). The
attached patch does just that. In addition, it refactors some
repeated code which had this in taito_f3.c into a couple macros. Using
inline functions would unfortunately have required more significant
changes, perhaps I'll tackle that another day.

Hello Aaron,
I have found few more things not ok in T11, this time I have fixed it myself.
1. HALT - should call interrupt vector
2. ILLEGAL - had PC=0 at the end which makes code not run fine
3. MARK - now it is implemented
Can you please check if your drivers are working fine with these cahanges.
After adjustments I have some things working finaly.

Subject: [patch] Fix 00149: No error report for invalid BIOS setting.
Hi mamedev,
This small patch makes specifying an invalid bios a fatalerror and
removes the need to expose system_bios to the drivers by reworking the
code in playch10.c to determine its bios more directly (in other
words, it removes an ugly hack). This should resolve bug 00149,
although I did not implement the popmessage as suggested.

verified memory maps using A-board PAL dumps (thanks to Charles McDonald).
separated the address ranges for CPS-A and CPS-B customs. This finally clarifies why some registers are fixed and some change with every game.
identified three new unknown registers in the CPS-B-21 custom. Their purpose is unknown.
all unhandled accesses to CPS-A/CPS-B registers will now be reported. There shouldn't be any left. Look out for "contact MAMDEV" popups.
cleaned memory maps. Moved forgotten worlds special input mmeory handlers to DRIVER_INIT.
moved extra input handlers to video/cps1.c since the extra connectors are on the C-board.
added sound to Final Crash.
direct byte, word, dword, and qword accessors for all bus sizes,
there are now masked word, dword, and qword accessors for all
bus sizes.
IMPORTANT: masks that are passed to the _masked_* functions are
NOT inverted. Although inverted masks are still passed to callback
functions, when you request a masked read or write the masks should
represent the bits you want.
Updated the various MIPS cores that use these functions to invert
their masks.
Added support in the T-11 core for an external vector via irq_callback.
Apparently the hardware actually did support this and it is necessary
for emulating the BK 0010/11 computer in MESS.

Replaced AM_READWRITE(SMH_RAM, handler) with AM_RAM_WRITE(handler).
Also replaced AM_RAM AM_WRITE(handler) with AM_RAM_WRITE(handler).
accordingly.
Added new functions for dynamically installing device memory
read/write handlers.
Updated install_memory_XXX_handler() functions to take a machine
parameter. Updated all drivers accordingly.
Merged installation of read and write handlers where appropriate.
Simplified memory.c code for dynamic installation so that a single
function handles all the work; a NULL read or write handler
indicates not to install anything for reads or writes.
Batsugun does upload what looks to be the entire program, unencrypted. If enabled it runs to the point of waiting for interrupts, however, for those it looks like it needs a real V25 core with register banks etc.
The other games using the V25 (Dogyuun, Fix Eight, VFive/GrindStormer) only upload a 'stub' program and are encrypted, maybe they upload the rest later? Knuckle Bash is ROM based V25 (and encrypted). Charles is working on decrypting them anyway, but core updates would be handy.

memory maps. To do so, you either need to specify a shift amount
(mapping to a particular subset of the bus) or SHIFT_PACKED, which
maps a single larger sized read/write down to multiple reads or
writes at the smaller size.
Removed word-sized handlers from 6821pia.c. Updated drivers that
needed them to use these new interfaces instead.
Updated gaelco3d.c and itech8.c to remove the need for memconv.h
by using this new feature.
Re-removed input_port_set_digital_value().
src/emu/cpu/m68000/m68kmame.c:

Subject: xml_normalize_string() bogusly escapes UTF-8
Various parts of MAME have recently been changed to support UTF-8
strings, so I thought I'd test out using a UTF-8 driver name for the
Sam Coupe driver in MESS, just to see if anything breaks. Most things
do seem to work well - the name is correctly drawn in the UI etc. One
thing that doesn't work properly is the output from -listxml: "Sam
Coupe" becomes "Sam Coupé" - each UTF-8 byte is
individually escaped, resulting in two gibberish characters instead of
the correct character.
The culprit here is xml_normalize_string() in src/lib/util/xmlfile.c -
the code converts any high-bit byte to an XML escape, which is totally
bogus for any encoding but ISO-8859-1 because XML escapes are defined
as Unicode codepoints regardless of the document encoding.
Fortunately, this is very simple to fix - in fact, it is sufficient
just to remove the escaping code and pass through the UTF-8 bytes
directly, because UTF-8 is mandated as the default encoding in the XML
standard.[1] The attached patch does this.
This should be a pretty safe change since as far as I can tell nothing
in MAME or MESS currently triggers this code (that is, the string "&#"
does not occur in the -listxml output of either). One potentially
negative effect is that the ASCII controls which are illegal in XML
(0x00-0x19 excepting line breaks and tabs) would no longer be escaped.
However, I can't imagine why you would want any in a string destined
for -listxml, so IMO that would be a problem elsewhere in the code and
having XML parsers barf on it would be desirable.

I cleaned up the Machine usage in the osd/windows files and added the

I didn't add it to osd_wait_for_debugger() yet, but I would make
sense to have it.
Subject: change for cpunum_set_irq_callback() callback function
This patch adds the running_machine* parameter to the function passed

the callback function.
Subject: Update for "Euro League (bootleg)"
Hello,
some tiny updates for the driver wc90b.c :
-Added dumps for all GALs on the PCB
-Removed the second YM2203, it isn't present on the bootleg boards
-Changed the clocks according to the oscilators found on the board,
the previous speeds were measured on a goal92 PCB, not using a real "Euro League" PCB.
-Added a new osc to xtal.h
If you need any info about this update, please mail me.
Regards: ClawGrip (Tomas Garcia-Meras)

Also merged memory maps [Aaron Giles]
only remaining form is the one that takes a pointer parameter.
Added macros for STATE_PRESAVE and STATE_POSTLOAD to define common
functions. Added machine parameter to these functions.
Updated all drivers and CPU/sound cores to use the new macros
and consolidate on the single function type. As a result pushed
the machine parameter through a few initialization stacks.
Removed unnecessary postload callbacks which only marked all tiles
dirty, since this is done automatically by the tilemap engine.

Subject: some dips
dips.diff adds tags and locations to dips for marvins.c and matmania.c
(also adding a couple of corrections in names and default settings,
explained in short notes added to the drivers)
trace through in a debug build, yet should operate the same as before.
Created a complete set of functions for all databus sizes (8,16,32,64) and
all endiannesses. A few functions are redundant, but it is now very clear
which functions to use in which scenarios. It is also now possible to rely
on being able to access values of 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits via the built-in
accessors without fear of crashing.
Updated all cores using 8-bit handlers to explicitly call the 8-bit handlers
with the appropriate endianness.
Fixed a few games which were calling n-bit handlers directly to use the
generic forms. In the future, this is all the access drivers will have.
Checked inputs for all games but 'survival' (Dip Switches still need to be done), so now cocktail mode is correctly supported by 'pleiads' and its clones.
Renamed sets :
- falcona -> falconz
- vautour2 -> vautourz
fixed reading from SXYP
fixed reading from IRGB
fixed writing to LZCR
fixed sign extension of GTE control registers
fixed writing to FLAG
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status
---------------------------------------------------
1 on 1 Government (JAPAN)
1) sprite offset are now correct
2) split spriteram in two parts
3) identified last sprite for the two parts
4) promoted to "working" (no sound)
for pallavol:
1) fix for sprite's y-coordinate
2) implement lookup table for convert sprite code in the real code
3) change the name to "1991 Spikes (Italian bootleg) (see the snapshot)
4) fix scroll
5) fix offset
Added ability to test the instruction/data cache ram. The scratchpad and BIU register are now handled internally to the CPU.
All writes are performed with masks. SWL/SWR used to be implemented with two writes ( one byte and one word ) when writing three bytes, now it only ever performs one. Byte and Word writes use masks as they leave the rest of the register on the bus, which can be picked up by larger registers.
The read/write functions to use are cached when the SR bits are updated, as are the bad address masks.
Added coprocessor 1 & 3 support, though they don't do anything useful.
All loads now go through the delay pipeline, a lwl/lwr will grab the value out of the pipeline if it's updating the same register.
Added undocumented behaviour of BLEZ/BGTZ. The comparison for zero can be changed by specifying an alternate register in the RT field ( the documentation says you should always use register 0 ).
Restricted to 16 COP0 registers & generate an exception if any of the 5 for the MMU are used.
Added BCF/BCT instructions, although I have found no conditions that affect them yet.
Generates an exception if any MMU instructions are executed.
Sets the CE instruction for all exceptions, not just those involving a coprocessor. The bits of the opcode that specify the coprocessor are grabbed no matter what the instruction.
Added TAR register and BT bit in SR. When an exception occurs during a branch, BT determines whether it was taken or not. The TAR register gets set to the destination of the branch.
Fixed the BD bit when you are in a branch delay slot and you didn't take the branch, this shows up in the pipeline as !pc.
Fixed branches within a branch delay slot.
Multiply & divide instructions can be aborted if you write to HI/LO before reading the result.
Added data breakpoints, you don't appear to be able to set breakpoints on any of the addresses internal to the CPU.
Multiply/divide/GTE instructions can execute when an exception is taken, although the EPC indicates that it hasn't. The BIOS avoids rerunning GTE instructions as they are destructive, so you have to make sure they run.
Added bus error handling, PSXCPU is limited to 8mb of ram & any access outside this range will trigger an exception. I believe this is to be an internal limit.
Added CXD8611R as a specific CPU type, System 12 appears to allow more than 8mb of ram & it's possible that this is different.
Mapped out all instructions to either generate an exception or ignore bits.
Updated the disassembler to match the decoding.
Fixed disassembling of branch instructions in a branch delay slot.
Lui checks for a ori/addiu following and will show you the result.
Added step over/out support.
Fixed standalone disassembler.
Note that this is a significan change and some new bugs might be caused by it. Unlikely previous bugs, where extra garbage tiles would appear in the games, the new bugs would be tiles or sprites MISSING--so they will be harder to notice. This would happen because in some cases the 16x16 regions of the gfx ROMs can be used by both scroll2 and sprites, while in other cases they must be separated.
Rewrote INP recording from scratch, since all old INPs are broken anyways.
Header now includes timestamp, which overrides the default time base for MAME's system time.
Each frame recorded now gets a timestamp.
Analog ports are recorded once per frame and interpolated.
Analog port calculations are all done in fixed point for consistent results.
A bunch of other minor tweaks in the input port code.
There may still be a few changes to the final INP format (considering adding
NVRAM data directly in the INP file, for example....) but this at least seems
to work for the games I've tried.
All custom itemids were mapped to class SWITCH. With the recent modification, this implicitly changed to ABSOLUTE.
This fix will use the passed itemid to determine the class.
Subject: patch for state save in buggybjr
Here's a little patch for initial support of state saving in buggybjr.
(It'll help with tx1 and buggyboy too, but they are non-working)
All I did was get rid of the "anonymous" (temporary) timer that was
preventing saving, and replace it with a "permanent" timer. I didn't go
looking for data which might need to be saved.
Subject: pit8253 device
I have converted the pit8253 implementation into a device. To make it
easier to use I've also created a src/emu/devconv.h in the same style
as src/emu/memconv.h.
I do not have all roms/disk images to test all drivers. I have only
been able to test pf2012, filetto, and topgunnr.
Subject: some fix for aerfboot (bootleg of aerofgt)
this fix:
1) spriteram3 (previous value was too high and in the "city" level some build disappear
2) sprite gfx bank (previously some sprite appear right and some sprite was wrong)
3) the zoom is a litlle bit better
4) i have removed multisprite support; in the bootleg aren't present
the remaining problem is "not draw some sprite"; maybe there's a mark in some place
in the code i add, in a comment //, a way to avoid the draw of the sprite (searching a 0000 0000 0000 0000 sprite); this way works quite good but not perfectly (some time too many sprite are in the screen); maybe there's a value indicating the #number of sprite to draw (from the end to spriteram3 to start)

a little update: this fix priorities in mermaid and rougien and a sprite bug:
when a sprite have x coordinate >= 0xf0 the value is negative
this fix the sprite bug
+ if (sx >= 0xf0) sx -= 256;
If seems to break Varth, hower, and has dubious effects on the boot sscreens of avsp, sfa3 and possibly other CPS2 games.

00410: xmcota: After a couple passes through the demo mode, the background on the qsound screen will go to a shade of green.
Subject: patch for mermaid
proper implentation of hardware collision (first implentation was incomplete)
this fix mermaid (when the player is in the water with the sharks) and rougien (Mantis 01652)
Subject: pcshare patch for mess
Another patch to machine/pcshare; this patch allows the MESS machines
to choose whether the RDY pin of the nec765 floppy controller is
connected or not.
Last weekend's pcshare keyboard was almost correct, it caused some
stuck shift key situations in MESS. This patch fixes that.
Removed a lot of MESS specific code from the machine/pcshare code.
Subject: Further ACIA changes
Added dynamic control of RX and TX pins to 6850 ACIA emulation - this is
needed for correct operation of the MPU4 Video communications system,
and may be handy for some MESS systems. To use, set the rx and tx clocks
to 0 in the acia interface, then use acia_tx_clock_in() and
acia_rx_clock_in() respectively.
Subject: Internal LAY File - Armor Attack
This is becoming kind of fun. Here's an internal LAY file for Armor Attack.
Re-created the overlay using just rectangles.
And finally got to use flipx and flipy for the first time (main reason I did it).
Subject: small change for MESS cleanup
This adds the "Machine" parameter to a MESS function call in MAME
code to go along with Machine -> machine ckeanups in MESS
Subject: Machine -> machine cleanups
This patch changes "Machine" to "machine", when the runnin-machine
parameter is already available. In some cases I could even remove the
dprecat.h.
I will look for some occurances where it can be easily changed and
afterward take a step at adding the running_machine parameter in a
few places.
Subject: rygar clocks
Corrected clocks on Rygar.
Concerning the 400khz resonator, it's genuine, not resoldered even if
schematics shows a 384khz resonator.
Another Rygar from a friend of mine has a 400khz resonator so it's
possible Tecmo had a stock of those resonators to use in change of the
384khz ones.
* Fix timing of stream_update in discrete_sound_w
All sound cores update before processing changed data
* Add streeam_update to discrete_sound_r
* Now supports multiple output nodes per module.
There is the possibility to support multiple outputs per module.
In this case, NODE_XXX is the default output. Alternative outputs may
be accessed by using NODE_XXX_YY where 00<Y<08.
You may also access nodes with macros:
NODE_XXX = NODE_SUB(XXX, 0)
NODE_XXX = NODE(XXX)
NODE_XXX_YY = NODE_SUB(XXX, YY) with YY != 00
This should e.g. make discrete sound emulation easier
when dealing with e.g. flip flops (Q & QQ) and binary counters
* added sanity checks to check consistency issues introduced by this change
* modules specify number of outputs ==> Certain special modules (WAVELOG)
may no longer be used as input nodes
* removed explicit (NODE_XX + expr) from a couple of drivers
* Added plane priority to blitter - if anyone knows how this really works let us know!
- Fixes Treble Top signature writing
* Video output now supports all modes - lores, hires, mixedres, 8/7/4/3 bits/pixel
- Fixes Every Second Counts colour problems
* Added line draw
- Fixes missing stuff from Question Of Sport
* Change blitter loop type control - there are 4 types of loop.
* Corrected video frame rate to 50Hz.
* Corrected Z80 speed - 5.91mhz, this still might be wrong but I don't have a board to check.
* Accounted for Z80 cycles stolen during a blit operation. Improves gfx/sound sync and seems to fix the final round lockup in Every Second Counts.
A couple of random touchups for X, Y, and Z drivers as well.
Each driver is tested by watching the attract mode through and diff'ing logs.
My ISP was blocking mamedev e-mails for a couple of weeks, so I apologize if I did anything odd because of a discussion that I missed.
All occurrences of ACCESSING_LSB, ACCESSING_MSB, ACCESSING_LSB16, ACCESSING_MSB16, ACCESSING_LSB32, ACCESSING_MSB32, ACCESSING_LSW32, ACCESSING_MSW32 & simple mem_mask checks have been replace with the new macros.
The old macros are gone.
* Give us a Break [2 sets]
* Ten Up [2 sets]
Neither are playable; they don't register coins for some reason.
2. Fixed interrupt handling and 16-bit memory accessors in 6840ptm.c
Also cleaned up code for the sake of readability.
3. JPM games now have their own object archive file.
- implemented serial input/output

the graphic roms are scrambled, the banking code has been patched out (and the program roms might have some protection on them too, there is a weird jump to the 0x2000 range)
also it runs on 3x M6809s instead of the usual CPUs.
Not convinced the sound roms are good dumps, they seem to small.
This bootleg needs a fairly significant chunk of time put into getting it working due to the heavy modifications. I've had several people asking me to add it, but I simply don't have time.
Subject: [patch] gcc 4.3.0 fixes
Hi mamedev,
GCC 4.3.0 was recently released, and some adjustments need to be made
to MAME to compile successfully with it. The idectrl.c change is only
needed to silence gcc's overwrite warnings, the code is correct as
written. The tx1.c change on the other hand is a bug spotted by the
stricter checks in the new compiler.
[Note only the tx1 changes were accepted]
Subject: Removal of Periodic int hack
Removed improper use of PERIODIC_INT in mpu4, to use new timer devices.
Also corrected 50Hz timer in MPU4 Video games.
Subject: fix for 01560

From: RansAckeR
Subject: fix for 01525
As is noted in the source: "The NMI handler just handles the "Stop Mode" dip
switch."
0xf801 is written to when the game is continued in stop mode, this should
not have been changed to watchdog_reset_w in 0.73
Off course this is all just a guess.
Subject: [bugfix] gnga: load correct graphics roms
I used to play the alternate version of Ghost'n'goblins in my arcade,
and I can remember the cross as the last weapon instead of the shield,
which on the other side, is shown in the square below the playing
ground.
In MAME that version was once known as a clone named "gngcross", which
was then renamed to "gnga" starting with 0.35rc2, and merged with
original set.
Unfortunately, rom list for the clone is wrong: it's been pasted from
original set "gng", whilst a couple of graphics roms must be loaded from
"makaimur" instead. You can see this by yourself comparing sources from
0.35rc1 and 0.35rc2.
The attached patch was obtained from SDLMAME on a Linux box, on release
0.123u6. I can't test it compiling MAME code, however this obviously
affects mainline too.
Thanks and keep up your good work!
Cheers,
Cesare Falco
(SDLMAME Ubuntu maintainer).
In drivers\seta.c, the zombraid gun input ports should be changed as
per the attached text file. The current crosshair settings work only
with the default power-on settings. The updated code works with
calibrated settings.
Subject: Unnecessary assert in video.c
The assert
assert(machine->config->devicelist != NULL);
in video.c causes the MESS mk1 driver to fail because it doesn't have
any devices - no screens and no sound devices. It works fine when the
assert is removed.
--Dirk
Removed malloc/calloc/realloc/free link-time overrides; we now
rely exclusively on compile-time overrides.
Made a few tweaks toward getting mingw-w64 working, but there
are still linker issues.
For me, the game hangs on a black screen after service mode is turned off. Even exsiting MAME and restarting doesn't fix it, so it's probably a EEPROM issue
Subject: nmk16 diff
Added Thunder Dragon (9th Jan 1992), corrected clock frequencies and
verified oki pin 7
Changed some nmk16.c romset names
Note:
The revision is not a typo, it's 6 months later than the previous one.
Subject: pitfall2
Added Pitfall2 (Flicky conversion)
you can see the pcb here:
http://www.citylan.it/pitfall2flic/PCB%20component%20side.jpg
the mobo is the same as my flicky pcb.
I also renamed Wboy4 since the dump was from my pcb and it's a 4d
warriors conversion even if sega reproduced the protection custom with a
piggyback.
I think we should rename all the sets to the proper conversions for
proper documentation
Subject: SH-4 debugger output fix
This patch fixes "garbage" (newlines) in the debugger window when
debugging the SH-4 CPU.
It also conatins a small comment fix in video/playch10.c and the
removal of some yet unused or just obsolete macros in emu/cpuint.h.
Subject: Deal 'Em phase 3
Conerted the driver to use an HD6845, as the Hitachi part was on the
PCB, while also using it to generate the VBLANK, rather than hardcoding
a value. Added the pulldown resistor to the network, and added all the
conditional inputs. Please note that on the later Cabinet Types (Ready
Steady Go-1 onwards), the 10p slot is locked out (location of the true
register for this is unknown), but the input setting is correct - you
have to use Coin 2 or higher to get money in.
a NULL list head (in which case you have an empty device list). All the
code works fine with a NULL head and returns appropriate values. Removed
changes to video_screen_count() and video_screen_first() which were added
to work around this behavior.
or not the VIDEO_UPDATE was called as a result.
Modified amiga.c to use this information so that we guarantee a call
to amiga_render_scanline() regardless of the video state.
Fixes 01521: ar_sdwr: Game hangs on title screen
Hopefully the samples can be replaced with discrete emulation in the future.
Sound board emulation is still not complete. Cymbal hit and hi-hat are missing; bassline is incorrect, and DAC output should be filtered.
Removed weird use of color table in favor of a direct palette
map. It is still a weird abuse of color, but at least it is
done internally and doesn't have the terrible slowdown behavior.
This is still WIP bug I've been working on it for sveral weeks and I want to get it out before leaving for holidays.

Crash when loading an autosave save state.
Removed excessive dirty tracking. This creates a bit more
work on each update, but gets rid of some dodgy logic.
Added typedefs for 'struct xxxx' to simply 'xxxx'.
refresh information from the device's inline_config, since this is
done before the screen devices are start. Fixes 01491: switchres
causes Exception at EIP=009413BF: ACCESS VIOLATION.
Also, fixed render_target_get_minimum_size() to return nominal values
if no screens are found.
Added DEVINFO_INT_TOKEN_BYTES, which is queried before device
startup. It should return the size of the structure that will
be hung off of device->token. It must not return 0.
Changed the core device interface to allocate and zero a block
of memory the size of DEVINFO_INT_TOKEN_BYTES before calling
device_start. The pointer to this memory is already attached
to device->token at the time device_start is called.
The primary motivation for this is to allow the device_start
function to make internal calls and pass the device_config *
around as if the object were fully constructed. Since the token
is used to indicate whether or not a device is live, this makes
the device "live" at the time device_start is called rather
than after it completes.
I applied the same fix to verifyroms. Now a status message is printed for every sample/ROM set regardless if an individual or all the sets are audited.
My fix is a bit heavy handed. The real access violation happens in update_digital_joysticks() after the comment "read all the associated ports" and before the next comment

Converted Centipede, as an example.
To define a scanline timer, use something like this:
MDRV_TIMER_ADD("32V", SCANLINE, generate_interrupt)
MDRV_TIMER_SCANLINE("main", 0, 16)
The first number is the first scanline the timer will fire on, the 2nd number is the increment.
So in this case, the timer will fire on 0, 16, 32, ..., 224, 240, then wrap around
because the screen is defined as 256 lines high.
The current scanline is passed to the callback in its 'param' argument
This driver is creating bitmaps in DRIVER_INIT, which is not the best practice, and in fact, it broke as machine->primary_bitmap is not initalized yet.
Subject: small fix to cpu.mak
Attached please find a small patch to include M68000 CPU only when you're
compiling a build with the M68K. this is needed to e.g. compile tiny
builds .
Created MACHINE_START( asuka ) to configure cpu2 banks with memory_configure_bank(),
All drivers support save states, with the exception of cadash and clones, the background does not load properly. I'm not familiar enough with taitoic.c to make that happen.
Subject: punchout.c inputs/dips
punchout.c:
-Simplified input definitions
-Improved dip switches
-Added dip locations

punchout and spnchout had an extra 5th PORT_START, was it correct to remove
those?

This time, it's phase 2 of the Deal 'Em input changes (these work well
with the default cabinet type, I need to do some conditional input work
to fix them fully), and also a conversion to the resnet code.
Unfortunately, this still doesn't fix the apparently needed transparency
(the apostrophe and Zenitone logo on the title screen should have a
green background, and the black rectangle at the bottom should read
(C)1987). I also tidied up the memory maps, but have been unable to
reproduce the assert bug relating to VBLANKs, so I'm unsure as to
whether I've fixed it or not.
Subject: patch for SVP (Sega Virtua Processor) emulation
hello,
this patch adds support for Sega Virtua Processor, to run
Genesis/MegaDrive version of Virtua Racing, intended to be used by
MESS. It consists of a CPU core SSP1601, and updates in megadriv.c:
* SSP1601 replaces SSP1610, as it has been confirmed by Stiletto and
other sources that SVP actually contains SSP1601. The current SSP1610
is placeholder only (nearly completely unimplemented) anyway.
* Changes in megadriv.c add a new driver for Genesis/MegaDrive+SVP
combination, also add SVP memory controller logic and memory map.
The diff has already been reviewed by Reip and SSP1610 removal was one
of his suggestions (SSP1610 is not used by any drivers).

Changed vblank interrupts to 3 to fix screen drawing issues.
Use memory_configure_bank() to configure memory.

svn: Safe data 'From roberto zandon' was followed by non-ASCII byte 224: unable
to convert to/from UTF-8
This a bogus message -- you can certainly convert that character to UTF-8
Changed slapstic management to always install an opbase handler to more
aggressively catch code executing in the slapstic region. Updated all
drivers to separate the slapstic region of ROM into a different ROM
section from the fixed ROM.
Changed input ports to register a frame callback, which is
called immediately after throttling and updating. This is the
proper "sync point" between emulated time and real time. Moved
all analog and digital port processing into a central place
here. Added tracking of time since the previous frame update
and use that as an estimate for the time of the current frame.
This is used to scale analog ports without the use of
cpu_scalebyfcount(). This is not perfect in the case where
frame rates are dynamic (vector games), but works well for
other cases.
Further cleanup of memory header and code.
- Added video_screen_auto_bitmap_alloc(screen) -- it is just a shorthand for
auto_bitmap_alloc(video_screen_get_width(screen), video_screen_get_height(screen), video_screen_get_format(screen))
which is a common operation
- The Dynax/Don Den Lover games now do their updating in VIDEO_UPDATE instead of VIDEO_EOF. This semmed to
have fixed the palette problems
- Went through some of these drivers and changed Machine to machine
Made address versus byte offsets explicit throughout.
Removed some unused parameters.
Consolidated initialization process.
Removed maximum memory block count.
Centralized bank management.
Added masked handlers and change_pc to the accessors.
Added memory_get_accessors() to return a pointer to the accessors
for a given address space/databus width/endian configuration.
More to come.
MRA*_BANK*/MRA*_BANK* -> SMH_BANK*
MRA*_RAM/MRA*_ROM -> SMH_RAM
MRA*_ROM/MWA*_ROM -> SMH_ROM
MRA*_NOP/MWA*_NOP -> SMH_NOP
MRA*_UNMAP/MWA*_UNMAP -> SMH_UNMAP
This removes the silly need for a bunch of redundant constants
with faux type definitions that didn't buy anything.
Moved some memory system constants into memory.c.
Converted address maps to tokens. Changed the address_map structure
to house global map-wide information and hung a list of entries off
of it corresponding to each address range. Introduced new functions
address_map_alloc() and address_map_free() to build/destroy these
structures. Updated all code as necessary.
Fixed several instances of porttagtohandler*() in the address maps.
Drivers should use AM_READ_PORT() macros instead.
ADDRESS_MAP_EXTERN() now is required to specify the number of
databits, just like ADDRESS_MAP_START.
Removed ADDRESS_MAP_FLAGS() grossness. There are now three new macros
which replace its former usage. ADDRESS_MAP_GLOBAL_MASK(mask)
specifies a global address-space-wide mask on all addresses. Useful
for cases where one or more address lines simply are not used at
all. And ADDRESS_MAP_UNMAP_LOW/HIGH specifies the behavior of
unmapped reads (do they come back as 0 or ~0).
Changed internal memory mapping behavior to keep only a single
address map and store the byte-adjusted values next in the address
map entries rather than maintaining two separate maps. Many other
small internal changes/cleanups.
All callers that used 0 for the screen number now use machine->primary_screen
As a gap meassure, Where necessary, create a parallel set of video_screen_*_scrnum functions that take scrnum
All callers that specified a specific screen number now call the *_scrnum versions
Changed game info screen and overlay UI to display the screen tag instead of screen number
- Private state screen information now hangs off the public one, instead of the other way around
- Combines video_global and video_private into a single structure
The following shook out from this that are applicable to other devices as well:
- running_machine is no longer taken, passed or stored
- mc6845_t is now private
- since passing device_config's is not device type safe, I added a
get_safe_token() to mc6845.c to check the device passed in for the valid type.
I think something like this should be added to the core.
- As a side note, I really don't think that device_config is a good name,
naming it simply device_t or something like that might be better.
than tokens and individual bits to the device callbacks. Updated
all existing devices accordingly.
Removed machine from the parameters of some of the device_get_info
and device_set_info calls because that information is stored
with the device now.
* Change "Machine->" to "machine->" in AM_BASE_MEMBER, AM_SIZE_MEMBER
* Pass Machine in construct_address_map
This is not perfect yet, but there is no need any longer to include deprecat.h in drivers using AM_*_MEMBER.

Hi.
In 0.123u3 the bug "multiscreeninfo0123u2gre" was fixed, however it changed
its behaviour as it now shows the "default" resolution the driver uses
rather than the resolution the screen(s) actually use at the moment.
As I don't know if this change was intentional I've attached a simple diff
that changes from defstate.visarea to the real visible visarea.

which specify device read/write handlers in address maps, along
with the type/tag of the device they reference.
Converted MC6845 read/write handlers to READ/WRITE8_DEVICE_HANDLERs.
Updated all MC6845-using drivers to use the new macros and call
the updated functions. Removed the many little helper functions
that used to do this work.
Added validity checks to ensure that the devices referenced
actually exist.
Updated all call-through handlers appropriately. Renamed read8_handler to
read8_machine_func, replicating this pattern throughout.
Defined new set of memory handler functions which are similar but which
pass a const device_config * in place of the running_machine *. These are
called read8_device_func, etc. Added macros READ8_DEVICE_HANDLER() for
specifying functions of this type. Note that some plumbing still needs to
happen in memory.c before this will work.
This check-in should remove the need for the global Machine and in turn
"deprecat.h" for a lot of drivers, but that work has not been done. On
the flip side, some new accesses to the global Machine were added in the
emu/ files. These should be addressed over time, but are smaller in
number than the references in the driver.
Usage is very similar to PORT_CUSTOM. See the Astro Invader driver for an example
- Removed input_port_set_changed_callback and converted all users to PORT_CHANGED
The only difference between the old callback and the ones supplied by PORT_CHANGED is
that values passed by PORT_CHANGED are normalized to start at bit 0, just like
PORT_CUSTOM.
suffixed with _func. Did this throughout the core and
drivers I was familiar with.
Fixed gcc compiler error with recent render.c changes.
gcc does not like explicit (int) casts on float or
double functions. This is fracking annoying and stupid,
but there you have it.
