Ruleta RE-900 from Entretenimientos GEMINI.
Is a roulette game based on i8051 and TMS9928, that has a phisical roulette with leds simulating the ball.
Game is working properly with full sound support.
Need better inputs implementation, leds, external artwork for the roulette and technical notes (I'm taking care of them).
If someone want to give a try, turn the operator key to allow enter credits.

Subject: snes special chips emulation
Hi,
the attached patch adds emulation for snes special chips DSP-2 & OBC-1. Changes:
- added sources snesdsp2.c & snesobc1.c (directly included in machine/snes.c as per Arbee's guidelines). credits mostly goes to byuu, which released to Public Domain his sources
- removed special chips detection from MAME (no nss / bootleg carts have special chips so far) and only left a variable has_addon_chip whose possible values are in includes/snes.h (it is initialized to HAS_NONE for MAME games)
- modified memory handlers to account for the new chips
Regards
Fabio

fine and basic searching/playback/skipping is functional. Still a bit
glitchy.
Firefox improvements:
- removed need for deprecat.h
- memory map is complete from schematics
- gutted laserdisc hacks in favor of actual laserdisc implementation
- fixed all CPU and sound clocks
Removed old laserdsc.c implementation.
Added generic timer devices, which simply allocate a timer but don't
prime it. This is the preferred method for allocating timers, and may
eventually be the only mechanism for doing so in the future.
- Simulated the MCU communication/protection.
The game seems to work properly, but is hard to win.
I conserved the game flags till we have the MCU decapped,
and emulated properly.
- Added full sound support.
- Added lamps support + layout.
- Fixed memory maps.
- Documented Super Derby outputs.
- Added lamps support + layout to Super Derby.
- Fixed the phisical RAM size to all games.
- Fixed the wrong NVRAM size to spacewin (16Kb instead of 16KB).
- Added proper NVRAM to sderby and pmroulet.
- Added the missing 3rd input to pmroulet (needed for 3-button mode).
- Cleaned up the driver.
is either DEVICE_START_OK or DEVICE_START_MISSING_DEPENDENCY. The latter
should be returned by a device if there is another device it depends on
which hasn't been started yet. Added new flag in the device interface to
indicate whether a device has been started.
Changed laserdisc interface to explicitly specify the screen and sound
devices it should route to. Drivers no longer have to manually call
laserdisc_vsync(). Instead, the laserdisc code connects up to the routed
screen device and works based on that screen's VBLANK timing. Removed
all existing calls to laserdisc_vsync().
Changed laserdisc behavior so that it completes the previous video read
and initiates the next read at the end of VBLANK instead of the beginning.
This gives player logic time during VBLANK to alter the slider position
prior to fetching the next frame.
Added new laserdisc callback for vsync begin and changed the update
callback to be called at the end of VBLANK. Also added functions to set
the slider speed, advance the slider, and directly control the video/
audio squelch. In addition, there is a new status function to get the
slider position in general terms.
Added parameter to the VBLANK callbacks supported in emu/video.c. Updated
all callers to provide a callback value.
Fixed bug that would cause watchpoints to trigger if you had a memory
window open to the watchpoint address.
Further updates to the PR-8210 ROM simulation. Still not quite there but
the system is much better understood now. Added layout to the PR-8210
which displays the state of the front-panel LEDs.
- Some corrections to the memory map.
- Added proper working RAM.
- Added Dallas DS1220Y NVRAM.
- Added output port.
- Added lamps layout.
- Added complete inputs.
- Changed description to "Scacco Matto / Space Win" since the default game is Scacco Matto.
You must enter the service mode and change graphics in order to switch the game.

Super Gran Safari [Roberto Fresca]
fixed palette decoding of early SNK games (from marvins to athena + fitegolf). The least significan bits were assigned incorrectly.
merged marvins.c into snk.c, with all resulting fixes (removed hacks, correct shadows, scroll offsets etc)
Each player now gets its own source file, along with new hooks
which enable more precise control over the behavior. Updated the
PR-8210 and LD-V1000 implementations to the new spec. Other
players will come online shortly.
Changed scan behavior so that it requires a constant stream of
signals to continue scanning. Updated ldplayer accordingly.
8 bit latch interface and emulation
Generic emulation of 74LS174/175, 74LS259 and other latches.
Apart from providing synched latch operation, these
latches can be configured to read their input bitwise from other
devices as well and individual bits can be connected to
discrete nodes.
Please see audio/dkong.c for examples.
02136: cubeqst: from minimal UI cubeqst requires the optional CHD
02127: xymg: The game name should be Xing Yun Man Guan and "Pin Yin:"should be omitted
02138: flamegun: Debugger/Cheat System upper case cpu tag of MAIN doesn't work
02139: In audio/system16.c, there is a reference to REGION_SOUND1
02133: chindrah: The title of Zhong Guo Long?(Hong Kong,V011H) is Dong Fang Zhi Zhu(Hong Kong, V011H)
02126: corrupt CHDs are reported as missing
After an exhaustive analysis to the unknown writes, finally figured out the missing sound device.
- Added sound support to "Poker 4-1" and "Pull Tabs".
- Figured out the output ports. Documented each bit accessed.
- Added button lamps support. Created layouts for both games.
- Switched the 8255 port C to be used as output port.
- Adjusted the coin pulse timing.
- Updated technical notes.
- Splitted the driver to driver + video.
- Final clean-up.
TNK3, Athena, Fighting Golf, Country Club
converted to tilemaps
removed hacks
proper memory maps
screen flip / cocktail mode support
dip locations
better implementation of sound CPU communication
hooked sound cpu interrupts to YM chips
fitegolf hax 1xYM3812, not 2xYM3526
My mail is broken (or I'm not on the list anymore?) so I don't know how the suggestion went down, but given that within the space of a week simply updating the tree completely broke my compile again I *need* these files maintained to develop with if we're going to see accurate genesis emulation in MAME. There's too much to split out of MAME.
I haven't included driver definitions, but the source files at least need to compile or I'm going to go completely bananas.
This handler works for both disc-only games and those with overlays.
For disc-only games, the base macro is sufficient. For games with
overlays, an additional set of configuration macros are provided:
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY - specifies update function, width, height,
and bitmap format of the overlay
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_CLIP - specifies the visible area of the
overlay bitmap
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_POSITION - specifies default x,y position
MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY_SCALE - specifies default x,y scale factors
The update function provided to MDRV_LASERDISC_OVERLAY is identical to
a normal VIDEO_UPDATE callback, so a standard one can be used. All
existing laserdisc drivers have been updated to support this new
rendering mechanism, removing much duplicated code.
Added the ability to configure the overlay position and scale
parameters at runtime. Added OSD menus to control them. Added logic
to save/restore the data in the game's configuration file.
Added new macros MDRV_LASERDISC_SCREEN_ADD_NTSC and _PAL, which
defines a standard screen with the correct video timing characteristics
and update function for laserdiscs. Updated all drivers to use these
macros instead of defining their own screens.
Added DISK_REGIONS to all laserdisc drivers.
Added DISK_IMAGE_READONLY_OPTIONAL to support games (like Cube Quest)
where the disk is non-essential to the game's operation.
Fixed bug in identifying the custom sound driver for the laserdisc.
Updated ldverify to identify blank regions of the disc for post-
processing.
Fixed rendering 16bpp with alpha using bilinear filters (fixes
screenshots of laserdisc games with overlays).
Included support for parsing .gdi files in chdman. [ElSemi]
Added new driver for Cube Quest. This includes CPU cores for the three
bitslice processors, as well as laserdisc support for the hacked
laserdisc that was used to drive the games.
[Philip Bennett, Joe Magiera, Warren Ondras]
Note that the SHA1/MD5 for the laserdisc will likely undergo at least
one more change before being finalized.
included by generic components in emu/ and thus should have no
dependencies on the MAME code.
Added new target ldplayer, which is based on MAME but serves as
a standalone laserdisc player for CHDs. Right now only the
Pioneer LD-V1000 is connected, and limited commands are available.
Each player type is a driver, so you specify the player type on
the command-line. The driver then opens the first CHD it finds
in your ROM path and uses that as the laserdisc. The intention is
that you specify the -rompath each time on the command-line, so
a typical approach might be:
ldplayer ldv1000 -rompath j:\mach3
where it will pick up the mach3.chd lurking in your j:\mach3
folder. Several basic commands are supported:
Space = play/pause
Alt = toggle frame display
Left = scan forward (when playing) or step forward (when paused)
Right = scan backward (when playing) or step backward (when paused)
0-9 = enter numbers for search
Enter = execute search to frame

Sonic Blast Man TURBO 2 (SNES bootleg) [Corrado Tomaselli]
tool which walks through either an AVI or CHD capture from a
laserdisc and ensures that there are no anomalies lurking in
the VBI data.
Added new option to chdman, where if you use -createav with
a special filename (either 2:2 or 3:2) it will create a fake
laserdisc files with the equivalent cadence. This can be used
for testing until full captures are available. Most games used
2:2 apart from Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, which were 3:2.
Note that even though these files are essentially blank, they
are Huffman-compressed, meaning that the maximum compression
ratio you will get is 8:1, so they still end up ~5GB.
Moved error strings from chdman.c to chd.c, where they can be
fetched from any caller via the new chd_error_string()
function.
Updated vbiparse to improve Manchester code decoding. It now
assigns a confidence level per bit based on how solid the
data is. Also added a new function vbi_parse_all which parses
the white flag and all three lines of metadata from a
laserdisc frame. It then compares line 17 and 18 against each
other and selects the most likely candidate based on per-bit
confidence and other factors.
Added frame number display to laserdsc.c. It is off by
default, though most players can be configured to turn it on
(not sure if any actually do). It can be manually toggled via
the backslash key during playback.

The background (slot reels) is not emulated properly,
hence it's not playable and marked as not working.

Jingle Bell [Luca Elia]
Like some other Space games (mosaic.c), it is protected by an MCU
that supplies the addresses to jump to.
I've done some basic simulation that at least shows the service mode.
This is a candidate for decapping / trojaning, or for Nicola to examine
like he did with Mosaic ;-)
Note to Guru: u118 is probably bad, it fails the rom test.
