Head Panic (ver. 0117, 17/01/2000) [Brian Troha]
SWAT Police is marked as imperfect graphics. I don't think the roms are bad... The driver may need to updated to support the foreground or the foreground isn't correctly mapped
I made the new Head Panic set the parent even though it's older. Beacuse it's by ESD only and is all English.
Added notes about other ESD games and updates some general info

PC16552d:
* Tried to wire up assert/clear signals for this chip based on guesswork
(anyone want to implement it properly? :)

documentation
PPC DRC:
* fixed bug that would jump to incorrect PC after filling the
TLB during a mismatch event

* added new PPCDRC_ACCURATE_SINGLES option, which removes the
excessive (and very likely unecessary) extra rounding when
performing the "fast" single-precision floating point ops
Konami drivers:
* designated fast RAM accesses for work RAM
* removed unnecessary mirroring
Model 3:
* identified and fixed VBLANK bit in real3d status which was
causing the system to hang at startup

- 01845: [Core] all games: cheats are broken
- 01846: [Misc.] -CHEAT trigger causes MAME crash with PSX-type CPU drivers
Source Changes
--------------
Updated cheat system
- Locked search region when malloc fails to allocate gigantic memory
instead of fatal error. Also locked zero malloc error in case of
search speed = all memory in 32-bit CPU. And added search region
range checker to lock a search region with a big risk
- Fixed a bug that old code is always converted to specified
separator in enable/disable menu
- Refined new cheat format.
* Rewritten cheat format again. newest format is
":gamename::type::address::data::extend_data:(description:comment)"
Expanded type field now requires 10 bytes (not 8 bytes) and
it divides internal cpu (2 bytes) and type (8 bytes) parameters
* Removed VWrite, VRWrite. The flag of Value Selection is merged
into expanded type field now.
* Added CBit (Condition Bit). This checks bit in read data then
set or clear bit in case of true.
* Rearranged cheat code viwer based on newest cheat format
- Fixed unworking Load Old Format option. If you want to load old or
older format code, set it (default is OFF)
- Renamed functions/structures based on coding guidlines
All structures and included parameters are completed
- Merged resize_*_no_dispose() into resize_*()
- Removed the hack of search region for SH-2 CPU because required
region is now set as expected without this hack

Bye Sonikos.
Subject: [patch] memory_region madness
The memory_region and memory_region_length functions are probably the
two most common functions in MAME that don't take a machine parameter
but probably should given the direction MAME has been going in
removing global variable references. Attached are massive patches to
accomplish this. I wish they could be smaller, but sadly, this is
butchery, not brain surgery.
The first patch makes some simplifications to help the second patch
along. It is a general improvement as well, and hopefully can be
applied even if the second patch is rejected. Specifically:
1. Introduced/updated some include files for files that export
functions whose apis will need to be changed (cps1.h, decocrpt.h,
ms32.h, pgm.h, fd1089.h, konami1.h). In the case of konami.c, I
renamed the file konami1.c and changed the api and callers to only
require one function export.
2. Pulled memory_region*() calls out of for loops and folded the
occasional duplicated call. The compiler can't likely infer that the
results are constant, so this should be a minor performance win as
well.
- rewrote PowerPC implementation as a dynamic recompiler on top
of the universal recompiler engine
- wrote a front-end to analyze PowerPC code paths and register usage
- wrote a common shared module with C implementations of tricky
CPU behaviors
- added separate CPU types for the variants supported, instead of
relying on a hidden model enum
- rewrote the serial port emulation for the 4xx series to be more
accurate and not rely on separate DMA handlers
- rewrote the MMU handling to implement a software TLB that faults
in pages and handles changed bits appropriately
- implemented emulation of the PowerPC 603's software TLB, which
allows the model 3 games to run without a hack to disable the MMU
Updated the PowerPC disassembler to share constants with the rest of
the core, and to more aggressively use simplified mnemonics, especially
for branches. [Aaron Giles]
Universal recompiler:
- fixed frontend to handle opcode widths different from bus width
- added several new opcodes:
* (D)GETFLGS - copies the UML flags to a destination operand
* FDRNDS - rounds a double precision value to single precision
- renamed several opcodes:
* SETC -> CARRY
* XTRACT -> ROLAND
* INSERT -> ROLINS
- consolidated the following opcodes:
* LOAD?U -> LOAD
* LOAD?S -> LOADS
* STORE? -> STORE
* READ?U -> READ
* READ?M -> READM
* WRITE? -> WRITE
* WRITM? -> WRITEM
* SEXT? -> SEXT
* FTOI?? -> FTOINT
* FFRI? -> FFRINT
* FFRF? -> FFRFLT
- removed some opcodes:
* FLAGS - can be done with GETFLGS/LOAD4/ROLINS
* ZEXT - can be achieved with AND
* READ?S - can be achieved with READ/SEXT
- updated C, x86, and x64 back-ends to support these opcode changes
- updated disassembler to support these opcode changes
MIPS3 dynamic recompiler:
- updated to use new/changed opcode forms
- changed context switch so that it only swaps a single pointer
Konami Hornet changes: [Aaron Giles]

Fixed crasher due to some Konami games using 8 layers in
the K056832 implementation, even though it was only written
for 4. [Aaron Giles]
Added fisttp opcode to i386 disassembler. [Aaron Giles]
added support for per-scanline y scroll. Fixes level 5 and boss explosions.
00778: gunnail: The background in stage 5 is wrong.
00779: gunnail: After you kill a boss, always a number of vertical lines will appear.

Subject: dealer ROM U04 bankswitch
Hello,
ROMs U01-U03 are checked with the same code in a loop.
There's a separate ROM check for banked U04 at Z80:30F3.
It looks like dealer/revenger uses ppi8255 to control bankswitching.
- Added bankswitch for ROM U04 and removed BAD_DUMP from u4.bin
- Renamed the games to "Poker 4-1" and "Pull Tabs"
as shown in the ROMs stickers.
- Renamed the ROMs in each set according to their own stickers.
- Moved the driver into gametron.a group.
- Added the missing input port C to 8255 PPI I/O chip.
Poker41 and pulltabs don't make use of it, but is present in the Test/Setting Mode.
- Updated technical notes.
* added NODE_RELATIVE(NODE, offset) macro to discrete.h
* fix asteroid.c, canyon.c, skydiver.c and tank8.c to use this macro instead of adding directly to the node
- Switched the color system to RESNET calculations.
- Hooked the infamous bit7 of Input Port 0x3004 in parallel to DIP switch 1.
This allow to use the PAYOUT button to trigger the Super Game instead of STOP 5.
- Demultiplexed lamps matrix.
- Added lamps support, but is still imperfect.
- Updated technical notes.
u28 (color PROM) now has the proper size and seems correct.
u68 (graphics) is far way better, but still have some bad bits.
Removed all patched bits from the driver. These bits now are correct.
