Subject: [patch] Split entangled drivers
To: submit@mamedev.org
Cc: atariace@hotmail.com
Hi mamedev,
This patch takes some driver_device classes that cover multiple
drivers and splits them so that each driver gets their own
driver_device class. In most cases, these drivers got entangled
because of audio/mcu code that was shared between multiple drivers.
The first patch breaks that dependency by making a separate base class
for the common code and having each driver_device derive from that.
That solution isn't really the typical MAME approach, so the second
incremental patch changes them into proper devices.

- common code duplicated
m52/m57/m58/m62/travrusa
- common code in audio/irem.c
junofrst/pooyan/rallyx/rocnrope/timeplt/tutankm
- common code in audio/timeplt.c
hyperspt/sbasketb/trackfld/yiear
- common code in audio/trackfld and audio/hyprolyb.c
40love/bking/buggychl/msisaac
- common code in machine/buggychl.c
module osdepend.c with default empty implementations. Changed
mame_execute() and cli_execute() to accept a reference to an
osd_interface which is provided by the caller.
Updated SDL and Windows OSD to create an osd_interface-derived
class and moved their OSD callbacks to be members.
This needs an unfortunate hack with a dummy driver added to seed references to
the devices that are only otherwise referenced by libemu.a.
Also removed SOUNDS += CUSTOM since such a sound device no longer exists.
* Almost accurate memory map.
* Decoded graphics.
* Decoded the bipolar PROM.
* Detected a CRTC (MC6845 type) reversing the code.
* Guessed the CRTC clock to get proper values.
* Hooked the AY-3-8910.
* Added games notes.
* Added technical notes.

Does basic dependency analysis and supports excluding paths.
Makefile now supports a depend target which will run makedep
on the src/$(TARGET) tree and create dependencies. It deliberately
excludes the root of src/emu as well as the osd directories in
order to keep the dependency file down to a reasonable size, so
if a core header file changes, you still need to clean and build
all.

To: submit@mamedev.org
Hi
This is the finished work for megadrvb.c:
Merge ssgbl into megadrvb
Moved inputs game from megadriv.c to megadrvb.c
if you use R2 diff i change also the roms names for a better fit the
drive in ending with "mdb" wich means "mega drive bootleg" so the
result is:
aladbl -> aladmdb
mk3ghw -> mk3mdb
ssf2ghw -> ssf2mdb
ssgbl -> srmdb
The R2 diff is the better way but you choose the best for you.

have no core use, they are simply there for the convenience of drivers.
Now that drivers are required to have devices, the data should move there.

Subject: [patch] Eliminate generic.videoramm generic.videoram_size
To: submit@mamedev.org
Cc: atariace@hotmail.com
Hi mamedev,
This set of patches removes generic.videoram and
generic.videoram_size. These generics have no core use, they are
simply there for the convenience of drivers. Now that drivers are
required to have devices, the data should move there.
The first patch sets the stage for the rest of the patch. It includes
several changes.
1. It replaces all the uses of generic.videoram_size with appropriate
constants.
2. It eliminates the write handlers from pc_video.c. These are
unused in MAME and MESS appears to have a private copy.
3. It splits some drivers:
a. It separates mcr68 from the mcr driver, mostly by dividing
machine/mcr.c.
b. It separates naughtyb from the phoenix driver by introducing an
audio/pleiads.h include.
c. It replaces video/system1.h with includes/system1.h.
4. It fixes some videoram related bugs.
a. balsente, mole didn't need videoram.
b. sbowling has a dangling reference to videoram from an earlier
driver_data conversion
5. It expands some namcona functions to multiple lines so that later
scripted-edits look sensible.
The second patch is generated by vram01_1.pl. It introduces videoram
local variables in function that use videoram read-only and removes
AM_SIZE_GENERIC(videoram).
The third patch is generated by vram01_2.pl. It replaces all
occurances of generic.videoram with state->videoram,
introducing/modifying driver_device classes as needed.
The fourth patch then actually removes the generics, and fixes one
issue the scripts didn't handle.

work just like required_device<> and optional_device<> for retrieving a
pointer by tag from an address space that specifies AM_SHARE("tag").
Also added templates required_shared_size<> and optional_shared_size<>
for retrieving the size of the AM_SHARE region.
Created a new generic NVRAM device. It can be configured to default to
0-fill, 1-fill, random-fill, or custom fill. In all cases, a same-named
memory region overrides the default fill. The address range where the
NVRAM can be found is now identified by an AM_SHARE() region of the
same tag as the NVRAM device. Drivers can also explicitly configure a
separately-allocated NVRAM region via nvram_device::set_base().
Replaced all instances of MDRV_NVRAM_HANDLER(generic_*) with
MDRV_NVRAM_ADD_*("nvram"). Replaced all AM_BASE_GENERIC/AM_SIZE_GENERIC(nvram)
with AM_SHARE("nvram"). For all remaining drivers that referenced the
generic.nvram directly, changed them to hold a required_shared_ptr<UINTx>
to the NVRAM in their driver state, and use that instead. Removed
nvram and nvram_size from the generic_ptrs.

Subject: [patch] Add missing include files for multi-file drivers
To: submit@mamedev.org
Cc: atariace@hotmail.com
Hi mamdev,
Converting a driver to use driver_data requires that multi-file
drivers have a common include file to host the driver_data class. Thus
this patch, which gets ahead of the curve and adds missing include
files to all multi-file drivers (minus ones covered by my last
driver_data patch). The first patch is include-related cleanup of the
existing drivers. The second patch then adds ~100 files to
mame/includes.

address_space. Also added unaligned variants that can read
unaligned values. Rewrote the core handler as a template that
handles all cases, along with a simple unit test to verify that
everything is correct.
Updated 68k, v60, i86, and nec cores to use unaligned read/
write instead of their own stubs for handling misalinged reads.
Fixed memory management of ga2 decryption.
supporting cleaner implementations of drivers in the explicitly OO world.
Expect a follow-on of several more changes to clean up from this one, which
deliberately tried to avoid touching much driver code.
Converted address_space to a class, and moved most members behind accessor
methods, apart from space->machine and space->cpu. Removed external references
to 8le/8be/16le/16be/32le/32be/64le/64be. All external access is now done via
virtual functions read_byte()/read_word()/etc. Moved differentiation between
the endianness and the bus width internal to memory.c, and also added a new
axis to support small/large address spaces, which allows for faster lookups
on spaces smaller than 18 bits.
Provided methods for most global memory operations within the new address_space
class. These will be bulk converted in a future update, but for now there are
inline wrappers to hide this change from existing callers.
Created new module delegate.h which implements C++ delegates in a form that
works for MAME. Details are in the opening comment. Delegates allow member
functions of certain classes to be used as callbacks, which will hopefully
be the beginning of the end of fetching the driver_data field in most
callbacks. All classes that host delegates must derive from bindable_object.
Today, all devices and driver_data do implicitly via their base class.
Defined delegates for read/write handlers. The new delegates are always
passed an address_space reference, along with offset, data, and mask. Delegates
can refer to methods either in the driver_data class or in a device class.
To specify a callback in an address map, just use AM_READ_MEMBER(class, member).
In fact, all existing AM_ macros that take read/write handlers can now accept
delegates in their place. Delegates that are specified in an address map are
proto-delegates which have no object; they are bound to their object when
the corresponding address_space is created.
Added machine->m_nonspecific_space which can be passed as the required
address_space parameter to the new read/write methods in legacy situations
where the space is not provided. Eventually this can go away but we will
need it for a while yet.
Added methods to the new address_space class to dynamically install delegates
just like you can dynamically install handlers today. Delegates installed this
way must be pre-bound to their object.
Moved beathead's read/write handlers into members of beathead_state as an
example of using the new delegates. This provides examples of both static (via
an address_map) and dynamic (via install_handler calls) mapping using delegates.
Added read/write member functions to okim6295_device as an example of using
delegates to call devices. Updated audio/williams.c as a single example of
calling the device via its member function callbacks. These will be bulk
updated in a future update, and the old global callbacks removed.
Changed the DIRECT_UPDATE_CALLBACKs into delegates as well. Updated all users
to the new function format. Added methods on direct_read_data for configuring the
parameters in a standard way to make the implementation clearer.
Created a simple_list template container class for managing the common
singly-linked lists we use all over in the project.
Many other internal changes in memory.c, mostly involving restructuring the code
into proper classes.
