* Added Crosshair Options menu
- ability to individually enable/disable crosshairs
- ability for them to automatically disappear after a set amount of time
- ability to select crosshair graphic
- all settings are saved in the cfg file
* Removed F1 toggle for crosshairs
* Added new command option -crsshairpath
- store all selectable graphics here
- see config.txt for further info
OSD NOTE: render_load_png() has been changed to no longer force usage of the artwork directory.
Do a search for "render_load_png(" and replace with "render_load_png(OPTION_ARTPATH, " if needed.
----------------------------
F1 is now free to use for something new. I was thinking it would be perfect for a context sensitive help file. Each menu item could have a help tag, that it would look up and display info from an HTML file.
- emulated CPU1 (slave) <-> AUDIOCPU communications even if they are not used at all
- emulated AUDIOCPU reset at startup, previously this was disabled
* rranger.diff
- added samples emulation to Rough Ranger (V2.0), write ports A & B of YM2203 are used
* seibu.diff
- hooked up music in SD Gundam Psycho Salamander, this doesn't affect any other game
for the driver. I adjusted the default settings also based on manual information.
There was duplicate DSW1 data between games which I created a separate assignment

adding proper LOCATIONS for both sets in the driver. There was a very large and
convoluted solution for the DIPS - which in fact are not (in the manual) linked
together and probably should stay separated.
- Using the fact that the Board as a 15mhz Xtal, I redid the clock speed assignments
to take in this in account. While doing this, I found a reference recording of Munch

recording.

Added emulation of the earlier type of ARM (ASIC27A, 5585E type)
Used this for protection emulation on Photo Y2k, Knights of Valour Superheroes instead of old simulation code
This means KOV Superheroes now works.
Disabled protection simulation for several sets.
This demotes Knights of Valour / Knights of Valour Plus to NOT working as there is no dump of the internal rom.
Photo Y2k still works because it's using the emulation added above, but You can no longer change region as this is supplied by the ASIC27A device which is now emulated. This is correct.
added several new sets, several of which are re-releases of the games using the ASIC 27A instead of the previous protection devices. (oldss, killbldp)
Removed per-game speedup hacks, as they're no longer needed for the ARM based games to boot correctly.
the descriptions given with the submission were misleading, in general it looks more like added sets, and an attempt to hook up the actual ARM on the other games where we have dumps.

Subject: a couple of patches
Hi,
I hope it's not too late for 130u2. However, enclosed you can find
* pedal.diff : a patch which (finally) fixes driving games using P2 & P3 pedals and buttons for P1 pedals and view buttons (MT 2172 bug). I also added PORT_NAMES to view/gear buttons even if usually MAME drivers don't because it makes easier remapping these games with ~15 buttons. I hope I haven't broken any convention.
* taitof3.diff: a patch which simplifies input handling in taito F3 games. Depending on the status of the driver, you may also consider the possibility to remove entirely f3_control_r and simply use AM_READ_PORTs to read inputs (for now, I left there the handler because of the read accesses logging)
Let me know if there is any problem in applying the patches.

Fabio
for all sets in the driver. I used the scanned manuals for the games I could
find - Pirate Treasure being the one I could not find.
- I adjusted the MAIN_CPU clock rate for Leprechaun + clones as well as
Pirate Treasure due to the "plain english" detail in the manaul for Pot of Gold.
I added defines for these in SRC\MAME\INCLUDES\GAMEPLAN.H and adjusted
the MACHINE_START_DRIVER for leprechn to use these new clock speeds.
Some playing with the new speeds do not seem to show any new ill effects.

The Game Computer uses a 6502 central processor in a conventional
computer architecture containing ROM, RAM, and I/O ports. The
computer clock uses a standard 4.00 megahertz crystal which is divided
by 4 to provide a CPU clock of 1 megahertz."
- I fixed a bug in the DIPs related to Lives value being incorrect for leprechn
but correct for the other two sets (leprechp, potogold). I put up a bug report
(#3068) and have since corrected it.

Subject: Sound banking fix for galpani2
Hi, I'm submitting a fix for the current sound banking in galpani2 driver.
I still wasn't able to correctly place the extra sound rom in galpan2g,
but I moved it to oki1, as its pages size is similar.
I've also separated the inputs for gp2se, as it's service mode clearly
shows there are some diferences, mainly with the card dispenser dip.
From all of these, it's clear that this driver incuded 3 different types of
board: galpani2/galpan2t/galpan2g, galpan2j/gp2quiz and gp2se,
the code also reflects these grouping.
Some memory accesses were still not mapped, I've also added them.
It would be very useful to have a video recording of the original, there
are several graphic effects that clearly aren't correct.
And finally, a little something for the okim6295 source, getting rid of that
"magic" value for the sake of readability. ;-)
Keep on the good work.

Mahjong Vegas (unprotected set) [Luca Elia, Uki]
ElSemi said he doesn't want to be credited.
He's dumped them with .iso tracks rather than .bin, but for the purpose of these Naomi GD-ROMs it's not going to matter.
I used the following GDI to convert them
3
1 0 4 2048 track01.iso -8
2 450 0 2352 track02.raw 0
3 45000 4 2048 track03.iso -8
both of these 'require' the MMU.
Generating interrupts in VIDEO_UPDATE isn't really a good idea.
Rendering is now done when requested, to a (for now) fake framebuffer (to be converted)
Anything that writes directly to the framebuffer won't display anymore, although the only thing that does that is the Atomiswave bios which didn't use the right mode anyway.
I plan on putting it back together again, don't worry.
Done:
- AGA palette
- AGA bitplane data fetching
- support for up to 8 standard bitplanes
- HAM8 mode
To do (for devs):
- inputs (buttons/coins are connected as CD32 pad, current implementation (copied from WinUAE) doesn't work, help is welcome)
- sprites (current implementation is incomplete - see CD32 logo)
- incorrect hstart/hstop values in CD32 logo, lsrquiz & lsrquiz2

* Fix build of ldplayer on OS X. Since the CUSTOM sound module no longer exists, I
arbitrarily changed it to WAVE, as ar gets upset if it has no input files. I also
removed the -all_load flag for ldplayer from the main makefile as it upsets the linker
on OS X.
* Fix build for PPC64 Linux. (This slightly messes up static branch prediction hints
on OS X and AIX, but OS X for PPC64 is dead, and no- one builds MAME for AIX, and
it will still build, anyway.)
* Paramaterise the arguments to check for NULL in the ATTR_NONNULL macro rather than
just checking the first argument. This requires compiler support for C99 variadic
macros (MSVC2005 and GCC4 have this AFAIK).

just so that I'm not wasting anybody's time in keeping these to myself. smf, please verify once the gnet stuff is final / in. They prevent it crashing in attract mode. Revert if wrong.
Updated src2html, regrep, and chdman tools to use this function where
appropriate.
In chdman, changed -addmeta to -addmetatext or -addmetabin to explicitly
specify the type of data (previous auto-detect was too dangerous).
update old tags.
Modified cdrom.c to expose metadata read/write functions, and changed
chdman to use them. Also changed chdman to parse old-style metadata and
convert it to new-style metadata since we're going to need to re-do this
anyway and the two won't hash to the same value.
Added completely untested support for the ident metadata to the hard
disk creation path. If a filename is provided immediately after the
source filename, it is taken as an ident file and processed for CHS
data and added. Other metadata types can be added afterwards via
-addmeta.
* Fixes Royal Casino colors;
* Added flip screen support to the driver;
* Changed Casino Winner to be a clone of Royal Casino;
* Cleaned-up the driver;
Updated CHD format to version 4. Checksums are now computed and
stored separately for raw data and metadata, and metadata is now
checksummed by default.
We will need to go through all existing CHDs, run a chdman -update
on them, and update the SHA1s stored in the drivers to accommodate
this (MD5s should be removed).
Updated chdman to support a generic metadata addition system:
chdman -addmeta <chdfile> <tag> [<index>] <sourcefile>
The <sourcefile> is examined and if it appears to be strictly text,
any EOFs and trailing EOLs are stripped, and the result is NULL-
terminated to match the behavior of existing metadata.
Updated chdman to report and fix errors in the raw and metadata
SHA1s.
Changed the CHD verify interfaces to pass back a structure containing
all the necessary data for verification and fixing.

The real way coefficient updates are handled is a little too complex

given the way konami uses it (once per sync). It's near impossible to
use it in a different way anyway.
Fixes mantis 2941 (at least for puzldama) and maybe 2953 (needs to
find the roms and test).
note, this version is clearly a different PCB, it uses the older style sprites (which are actually just bootleg tumble pop sprites..)
the sound rom on the PCB is bad.

Another round of static/const qualifier additions, plus a rename of

dynamically modified). Notice that the READWRITExTOy macros declare two
