into one file, and separated the speaker device into its own file.
Generalized the concept of dynamically assigned inputs and re-wired the
speaker to work this way, so it is now treated just like any other
sound device. Added methods to the device_sound_interface for controlling
output gain and mapping device inputs/outputs to stream inputs/outputs.
Also made the sound_stream_update() method pure virtual, so all modern
sound devices must use the new mechanism for stream updates.
Primary changes outside of the core are:
stream_update(stream) == stream->update()
stream_create(device,...) == machine->sound().stream_alloc(*device,...)
sound_global_enable(machine,enable) == machine->sound().system_enable(enable)
Beyond this, the patterns are relatively obvious for the remaining calls.

- SMS games have issues, the CPU isn't being properly reset (or something) when moving between games, so stick to only a single SMS game for now or the z80 will crash.
It used to work, but the code has been out of use for a while.

Notes out of whatsnew.txt
* This uses modern devices, but has not been tested in a driver yet, so I may
have done something wrong. I will fix it when the time comes.
* 60% of the disassembler is complete. I will finish it over the next few days.
* There are many similarities in execution to the dsp32, and the existing 32 code
will come in handy when it's time to write the execution engine.
* This thing is a pleasure compared to the dsp56k.
- Now supports uPD7725 and uPD96050
- Hooked up SNES common code to use uPD96050 for ST-010/011
- Removed ST-010 HLE simulation
Non-whatsnew: ST-010 is also found in some ssv.c games so this will be
hooked up there soon.
* machine/megadriv.c + md_pcb.c (originally from MESS) -> machine/md_cart.c [since they only contained code to handle cart loading]
* first half of drivers/megadriv.c (the code shared by mtech/mplay/c2 with MESS) -> machine/megadriv.c [since these are the 'machine' functions shared by arcade and console systems]
* second half of drivers/megadriv.c (the part recently imported from MESS) -> it remains where it was [since it is 'driver'-specific, even if in this case it is a MESS driver]
* drivers/segamsys.c (SMS part of the code used for mtech/mplay) -> machine/segamsys.c [again, these are 'machine' functions]
among other things, this new setup makes the MESS-specific parts (machine/md_cart.c & drivers/megadriv.c) independent from the MAME files, i.e. if we ever decide to change the tree structure, it will be much easier to move these files in any other location of the tree without affecting MAME (or MESS) compile process
This is a proof-of-concept commit. It works but is far from stable. Synchronization between two mame processes is *somehow* (trying to avoid hacked) in. However, this is not HLE. Shared memory is used to share the serial interface lines.
If the shared memory code is not enable, stub functions are used. If you set the link mode to master or slave, "not linked" will be shown in the game. That's better than the previous hang.
Please, no whatsnew.
Yes, it is intentional that the x86/x64 backends compile everywhere.
Backends are now derived from drcbe_interface and implement several
required overrides.
x86emit.h now uses namespaces so that the x86/x64 emitters can co-exist.
New file uml.h/uml.c actually describes the UML language, separating
out several concepts from drcuml.c.
Lots of other changes/fixes.
- Also fixes bzone regression.
- Contexts have disappeared now. All modules use class level private variables now.
- Reorganized code and added more include files.
- This is still work in progress. It is working though.
- all nodes are now class based
- removed all support for "legacy", i.e. procedural node functions.
- nodes are created using a class factory whose instances
are set up in discrete blocks. There is no separation of
node vs. module any longer.
- Custom modules are now just implemented like "normal" nodes.
- Converted all custom modules.
- Context variables can now be migrated to be private class members.

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.

module osdepend.c with default empty implementations. Changed
mame_execute() and cli_execute() to accept a reference to an

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.

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

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.

up the definition, rather than the whole tokenizing system, which lost type
checking. Added a new module addrmap.c which implements the address map
classes, and changed the macros to call methods on the address_map and
address_map_entry classes which are strongly typed.
Fixed a few incorrectly specified memory map entries along the way. Please
double-check to make sure the behavior is expected in: twincobr.c, lordgun.c,
galaxold.c.
This change also means that since the address_maps are now constructor
functions, they are detected when not used, so a number of #ifdef UNUSED_CODE
were added around dangling address map definitions.
Also included with this change:
- removed cputag_clocks_to_attotime() and cputag_attotime_to_clocks() in
favor of just expanding the class
- same for cputag_suspend() and cputag_resume()
* Initial release.
* Preliminary memory map.
* Hooked both PIAs, but need more analysis to confirm the offsets.
* Accurate graphics and color decode.
* Added main PCB and daughterboard layouts.
* Added partial docs and diagrams about the CPU/MCU/ROMs addressing.
* Added debug and technical notes.

NOTE: This is a major internal change to the way devices are handled in
MAME. There is a small impact on drivers, but the bulk of the changes are
to the devices themselves. Full documentation on the new device handling
is in progress at http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php/MAME_Device_Basics
Defined two new casting helpers: [Aaron Giles]
downcast<type>(value) should be used for safe and efficient downcasting
from a base class to a derived class. It wraps static_cast<> by adding
an assert that a matching dynamic_cast<> returns the same result in
debug builds.
crosscast<type>(value) should be used for safe casting from one type to
another in multiple inheritance scenarios. It compiles to a
dynamic_cast<> plus an assert on the result. Since it does not optimize
down to static_cast<>, you should prefer downcast<> over crosscast<>
when you can.
Redefined running_device to be a proper C++ class (now called device_t).
Same for device_config (still called device_config). All devices and
device_configs must now be derived from these base classes. This means
each device type now has a pair of its own unique classes that describe
the device. Drivers are encouraged to use the specific device types
instead of the generic running_device or device_t classes. Drivers that
have a state class defined in their header file are encouraged to use
initializers off the constructor to locate devices. [Aaron Giles]
Removed the following fields from the device and device configuration
classes as they never were necessary or provided any use: device class,
device family, source file, version, credits. [Aaron Giles]
Added templatized variant of machine->device() which performs a downcast
as part of the device fetch. Thus machine->device<timer_device>("timer")
will locate a device named "timer", downcast it to a timer_device, and
assert if the downcast fails. [Aaron Giles]
Removed most publically accessible members of running_device/device_t in
favor of inline accessor functions. The only remaining public member is
machine. Thus all references to device->type are now device->type(), etc.
[Aaron Giles]
Created a number of device interface classes which are designed to be mix-
ins for the device classes, providing specific extended functionality and
information. There are standard interface classes for sound, execution,
state, nvram, memory, and disassembly. Devices can opt into 0 or more of
these classes. [Aaron Giles]
Converted the classic CPU device to a standard device that uses the
execution, state, memory, and disassembly interfaces. Used this new class
(cpu_device) to implement the existing CPU device interface. In the future
it will be possible to convert each CPU core to its own device type, but
for now they are still all CPU devices with a cpu_type() that specifies
exactly which kind of CPU. [Aaron Giles]
Created a new header devlegcy.h which wraps the old device interface using
some special template classes. To use these with an existing device,
simply remove from the device header the DEVICE_GET_INFO() declaration and
the #define mapping the ALL_CAPS name to the DEVICE_GET_INFO. In their
place #include "devlegcy.h" and use the DECLARE_LEGACY_DEVICE() macro.
In addition, there is a DECLARE_LEGACY_SOUND_DEVICE() macro for wrapping
existing sound devices into new-style devices, and a
DECLARE_LEGACY_NVRAM_DEVICE() for wrapping NVRAM devices. Also moved the
token and inline_config members to the legacy device class, as these are
not used in modern devices. [Aaron Giles]
Converted the standard base devices (VIDEO_SCREEN, SPEAKER, and TIMER)
from legacy devices to the new C++ style. Also renamed VIDEO_SCREEN to
simply SCREEN. The various global functions that were previously used to
access information or modify the state of these devices are now replaced
by methods on the device classes. Specifically:
video_screen_configure() == screen->configure()
video_screen_set_visarea() == screen->set_visible_area()
video_screen_update_partial() == screen->update_partial()
video_screen_update_now() == screen->update_now()
video_screen_get_vpos() == screen->vpos()
video_screen_get_hpos() == screen->hpos()
video_screen_get_vblank() == screen->vblank()
video_screen_get_hblank() == screen->hblank()
video_screen_get_width() == screen->width()
video_screen_get_height() == screen->height()
video_screen_get_visible_area() == screen->visible_area()
video_screen_get_time_until_pos() == screen->time_until_pos()
video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_start() ==
screen->time_until_vblank_start()
video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_end() ==
screen->time_until_vblank_end()
video_screen_get_time_until_update() == screen->time_until_update()
video_screen_get_scan_period() == screen->scan_period()
video_screen_get_frame_period() == screen->frame_period()
video_screen_get_frame_number() == screen->frame_number()
timer_device_adjust_oneshot() == timer->adjust()
timer_device_adjust_periodic() == timer->adjust()
timer_device_reset() == timer->reset()
timer_device_enable() == timer->enable()
timer_device_enabled() == timer->enabled()
timer_device_get_param() == timer->param()
timer_device_set_param() == timer->set_param()
timer_device_get_ptr() == timer->get_ptr()
timer_device_set_ptr() == timer->set_ptr()
timer_device_timeelapsed() == timer->time_elapsed()
timer_device_timeleft() == timer->time_left()
timer_device_starttime() == timer->start_time()
timer_device_firetime() == timer->fire_time()
Updated all drivers that use the above functions to fetch the specific
device type (timer_device or screen_device) and call the appropriate
method. [Aaron Giles]
Changed machine->primary_screen and the 'screen' parameter to VIDEO_UPDATE
to specifically pass in a screen_device object. [Aaron Giles]
Defined a new custom interface for the Z80 daisy chain. This interface
behaves like the standard interfaces, and can be added to any device that
implements the Z80 daisy chain behavior. Converted all existing Z80 daisy
chain devices to new-style devices that inherit this interface.
[Aaron Giles]
Changed the way CPU state tables are built up. Previously, these were data
structures defined by a CPU core which described all the registers and how
to output them. This functionality is now part of the state interface and
is implemented via the device_state_entry class. Updated all CPU cores
which were using the old data structure to use the new form. The syntax is
currently awkward, but will be cleaner for CPUs that are native new
devices. [Aaron Giles]
Converted the okim6295 and eeprom devices to the new model. These were
necessary because they both require multiple interfaces to operate and it
didn't make sense to create legacy device templates for these single cases.
(okim6295 needs the sound interface and the memory interface, while eeprom
requires both the nvram and memory interfaces). [Aaron Giles]
Changed parameters in a few callback functions from pointers to references
in situations where they are guaranteed to never be NULL. [Aaron Giles]
Removed MDRV_CPU_FLAGS() which was only used for disabling a CPU. Changed
it to MDRV_DEVICE_DISABLE() instead. Updated drivers. [Aaron Giles]
Reorganized the token parsing for machine configurations. The core parsing
code knows how to create/replace/remove devices, but all device token
parsing is now handled in the device_config class, which in turn will make
use of any interface classes or device-specific token handling for custom
token processing. [Aaron Giles]
Moved many validity checks out of validity.c and into the device interface
classes. For example, address space validation is now part of the memory
interface class. [Aaron Giles]
Consolidated address space parameters (bus width, endianness, etc.) into
a single address_space_config class. Updated all code that queried for
address space parameters to use the new mechanism. [Aaron Giles]

Converted backfire.c, boogwing.c, dietgo.c, mirage.c, pktgaldx.c, simpl156.c, supbtime.c, tumblep.c to use the device-fied video chips [Fabio Priuli]
Added driver data struct and save states to the following drivers: dietgo.c, mirage.c, pktgaldx.c, supbtime.c and tumblep.c [Fabio Priuli]
side note: the device-fied code (currently included in video/decodev.c) still needs various refinements, but I will clean it up after all the drivers have been converted.
Added driver_data struct to the following drivers: mgolf.c, minivadr.c, mosaic.c and mrdo.c
Enabled save states to mugsmash.c (everything was already saved)
- added support for arbitrary number of containers for render_target
- added command-line parameter -debug_internal (-di) to use the internal debugger when in debug mode
- internal debugger supports all views except memory view
- added "Debug" view to layout/vertical.lay to create more place for debug views in vertical games.
The colors are ugly. Font rendering needs improvement. There are no shortcut keys right now. There is still a lot of room for more improvements.
However, it works and does not depend on any ui toolkit. The interface has been designed to support displaying views programmatically e.g. from the ui.
Currently, the ui render target is used. In order to support views being displayed in separate windows further changes are needed:
- the osd layer must support creating and closing windows (render targets) on demand.
- There must be a mode for render targets where their bounds follows the window size - Currently the render target size depends on the aspect of currently selected "artwork" view.
- Render target needs a name property.
Short HowTo:
- Start MAME with "-debug -di"
- Console, register and disasm views will be shown. Place them by dragging the view on the title bar.
- Views can be resized by dragging the bottom-right yellow square.
- The view having the focus has a green background title bar.
- Hit "Tab" (IPT_UI_CONFIGURE) to show the menu.
- Console and disasm views support a very simple facility to support entering commands and addresses. Just start typing. Hit "enter" when finished.
ACRTC implementation is a bit hacky due to its preliminary emulation status.

Shark Party:
- Added stats and settings inputs.
- Added coin counters.
- Added main game and double-up rates DIP switches.
- Added double-up, coinage and demo sounds DIP switches.
- Added button-lamps layout.
- Created new central header "emu.h"; this should be included
by pretty much any driver or device as the first include. This
file in turn includes pretty much everything a driver or device
will need, minus any other devices it references. Note that
emu.h should *never* be included by another header file.
- Updated all files in the core (src/emu) to use emu.h.
- Removed a ton of redundant and poorly-tracked header includes
from within other header files.
- Temporarily changed driver.h to map to emu.h until we update
files outside of the core.
Added class wrapper around tagmap so it can be directly included
and accessed within objects that need it. Updated all users to
embed tagmap objects and changed them to call through the class.
Added nicer functions for finding devices, ports, and regions in
a machine:
machine->device("tag") -- return the named device, or NULL
machine->port("tag") -- return the named port, or NULL
machine->region("tag"[, &length[, &flags]]) -- return the
named region and optionally its length and flags
Made the device tag an astring. This required touching a lot of
code that printed the device to explicitly fetch the C-string
from it. (Thank you gcc for flagging that issue!)
Added driver data struct to ninjaw.c, slapshot.c, warriorb.c, wgp.c
There is still some TC0100SCN issue when reloading, which corrupts tilemap2, hence no save states in the latter drivers atm
osd_free(). They take the same parameters as malloc() and free().
Renamed mamecore.h -> emucore.h.
New C++-aware memory manager, implemented in emualloc.*. This is a
simple manager that allows you to add any type of object to a
resource pool. Most commonly, allocated objects are added, and so
a set of allocation macros is provided to allow you to manage
objects in a particular pool:
pool_alloc(p, t) = allocate object of type 't' and add to pool 'p'
pool_alloc_clear(p, t) = same as above, but clear the memory first
pool_alloc_array(p, t, c) = allocate an array of 'c' objects of type
't' and add to pool 'p'
pool_alloc_array_clear(p, t, c) = same, but with clearing
pool_free(p, v) = free object 'v' and remove it from the pool
Note that pool_alloc[_clear] is roughly equivalent to "new t" and
pool_alloc_array[_clear] is roughly equivalent to "new t[c]". Also
note that pool_free works for single objects and arrays.
There is a single global_resource_pool defined which should be used
for any global allocations. It has equivalent macros to the pool_*
macros above that automatically target the global pool.
In addition, the memory module defines global new/delete overrides
that access file and line number parameters so that allocations can
be tracked. Currently this tracking is only done if MAME_DEBUG is
enabled. In debug builds, any unfreed memory will be printed at
the end of the session.
emualloc.h also has #defines to disable malloc/free/realloc/calloc.
Since emualloc.h is included by emucore.h, this means pretty much
all code within the emulator is forced to use the new allocators.
Although straight new/delete do work, their use is discouraged, as
any allocations made with them will not be tracked.
Changed the familar auto_alloc_* macros to map to the resource pool
model described above. The running_machine is now a class and contains
a resource pool which is automatically destructed upon deletion. If
you are a driver writer, all your allocations should be done with
auto_alloc_*.
Changed all drivers and files in the core using malloc/realloc or the
old alloc_*_or_die macros to use (preferably) the auto_alloc_* macros
instead, or the global_alloc_* macros if necessary.
Added simple C++ wrappers for astring and bitmap_t, as these need
proper constructors/destructors to be used for auto_alloc_astring and
auto_alloc_bitmap.
Removed references to the winalloc prefix file. Most of its
functionality has moved into the core, save for the guard page
allocations, which are now implemented in osd_alloc and osd_free.
* added driver data struct to taito_l.c & opwolf.c
* added driver data struct + save states to asuka.c (cadash was not supporting saves), rainbow.c, rastan.c, taito_f2.c, taito_h.c, taito_o.c, taito_z.c, topspeed.c & volfied.c
not worth mentions:
* renamed a couple of megablst clones for consistency (as per stephh's remark)
* slightly changed tnzs RAM/ROM banks behaviour to avoid writes on ROM banks

Subject: Core for PIC 16c62x series of processors
To: submit@mamedev.org
Hello,
this patch contains a core for the PIC 16c62x series of processors.
It has been made starting from the pic16c5x that is already present.
This version stil misses the various internal devices, however the
opcodes and i/o ports work, and it is enough to run the emulation of
the security pics used with the gd-roms.
Bye,

* fixed 053936 init which was giving problems to f1gp2 (in debug build only, apparently)
* removed banptr preventing proper save states in rockrage.c: now save works fine
* added driver data struct and saves states to f1gp.c, fastlane.c, flkatck.c, hcastle.c, labyrunr.c and suprslam.c
* fixed 056832 device start order to avoid wrong settings for layer 0. updated asterix.c and moo.c to use the device implementation now that it's working correctly.
* added driver data struct to 88games.c, combatsc.c and rockrage.c
* added driver data struct and save states to battlnts.c, bladestl.c, crshrace.c and contra.c
* renamed combasc to combatsc now that clones can have longer names
* moved k056800 sound device to emu/sound and removed the old code (mame/machine/konamiic.c )
* updated gticlub.c, hornet.c, nwk-tr.c, ultrsprt.c and zr107.c to use this implementation
* fixed various small (and not so small) problems in konicdev.c
* as a result Konami 007342, 007420, 052109, 052160 and 051316 devices are now working and 88games.c, battlnts.c, bladestl.c and rockrage.c have been updated to use them
In particular, device-fied Konami 007121, 051733 and 053251 work fine and combatsc.c, contra.c, crshrace.c, f1gp.c, fastlane.c, flkatck.c, hcastle.c, labyrunr.c and suprslam.c have been converted to use the new code.
Side notes:
* chips which have their own tilemap in MAME (e.g. 056832 and 052109) are not working yet, and other chips cannot be fully tested because they're used together with these... it's still wip
* some cleanup is in order (especially for interfaces), once I get the remaining chips to working state
* converting the drivers above, I noticed that f1gp2 was only using half of the k053936 regs: this is now fixed and, even if I don't know of any visible improvements, now there are definitely less unmapped writes logged by the debugger ;)
Added driver data struct and save states to: cbasebal.c, chinsan.c, mitchell.c and quasar.c
Not to be mentioned: I also removed use of memory_set_bankptr from CPS1 sound banking and renamed a couple of rallyx.c constants to be less generic
Out of whatsnew: Unfortunately, I was unable to make both malzak and p2000t (in MESS) to work without a small kludge, clearly documented in the source. I plan to further investigating the problem once I manage to merge the other 505x variants (later)
* added saves to 6522via.c. this fixes problems of gameplan.c and trvquest.c games with -autosave
* added driver data struct and save states to toratora.c and sf.c
* enable GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE flag to dday.c because some of the core changes have fixed the sound problem at loading
* added a couple of comments about header inclusions
Also, added driver data struct and save states to laserbas.c, laserbat.c, lastfght.c, lazercmd.c and lemmings.c
Finally, added driver data struct to lasso.c
Added driver data struct to jackal.c
out of the whatsnew, a couple of remarks:
- rallyx and nrallyx might require a separate driver data struct to deal with namco_soundregs, but I'll take care of this eventually (if really needed)
- jackal does not properly save the work ram banks atm, hence no SUPPORTS_SAVE flag, but I keep looking for a clean solution to the problem
Added driver data struct to pipedrm.c and added devices to gameplan.c driver data struct (to remove a few cputag calls)
Also, removed a couple of memory_set_bankptr that I had forgotten (buggychl.c & homedata.c)
Also, added driver data struct to: alpha68k.c, amspdwy.c, gng.c, gunsmoke.c, hotblock.c
Finally, removed a couple of memory_set_bankptr I hadn't noticed in ddrible.c and gberet.c

Hi mamedev,
This patch is a resubmit of my earlier patch to have mappy and zaxxon
store their state in driver_data. It extends the patch to toypop
(which uses some mappy code), and also converts cabal which I also did
some time ago. cabal.h and toypop.h are new header files.
~aa
Added driver data struct to fuukifg2.c and fuukifg3.c (no save states yet due to anonymous timers)
Also, added more devices to dkong driver data (to minimize # of cputag_xxxx calls)
As a side note, now drgnbowl (one of the worst game ever) supports saves! enjoy :-P
Unfortunately, if you load a save state too early the game starts with no sound. For the moment, no SUPPORT_SAVE flag, but the game goes in my list of drivers which needs a second look. Feel free to step up and fix saves, if you like

Added save states to 2mindril.c, ashnojoe.c, bigfghtr.c, bublbobl.c, cchance.c, champbwl.c, missb2.c
Removed use of memory_set_bankptr where possible (in the drivers above and in angelkds.c)
i.e. some Taito love :)
as usual, drivers with only save state added also have almost complete driver_data struct, but the missing items do not affect saves (generic palette/sprite ram is automatically saved)
Out of whatsnew: I also added driver_data struct to these drivers (and to bombjack.c & blktiger.c as well) BUT, as in bionicc.c, some memory pointers (spriteram, paletteram or nvram) are commented out due to use of generic handlers
Out of whatsnew: this driver also has 99% of driver data stored in the struct.
it still misses paletteram16, which currently uses a generic handler(and hence does not fit the struct approach), but I wanted save states so much for this game that I commit it anyway :-)
Side-notes (not worth mention):
* I fear we were missing a local static array in 1942 save states (now it is saved)
* I haven't found a better way to configure 1943 banks than to split the 0x4000 bank into 4 pieces. can anyone come up with a better approach?

Well here is some initial rom loading, gfx decode, palette decode.
I haven't mapped the CPUs yet, but I imagine it will end up using mostly
the home data code in the end (although that seems to have game specific
code for a lot of games anyway, so there are probably some issues with
that driver)
You can check this in for now, and it can be returned to later.
Types are pretty much unified now.
Multiply operations are handled by eminline.h.
Divide operations were just silly in macros.
64/32-bit combination/extraction macros moved to osdcomm.h and renamed.
Also fixed compile errors in recent 68k changes.
- Added working PMMU address translation (not feature complete, but sufficient
to boot several 68030 Macs in MESS)
- Fixed up disassembly of some PMMU instructions
- Added "68020 with 68851" CPU type

I'm trying to get the HazeMD code running again (by request, and so
that
I can look at fixing some of the bugs that have surfaced, including
ones
which affect MAME)
This shuffles a bunch of stuff around in order to help with that
process, I've also killed off some old megaplay code which wasn't
really
needed anymore, and used the newer code instead.

Othello (version 3.0) [Tomasz Slanina, Stefan Lindberg]
This system is based on a custom CPU. Graphics are decoded but only 2 bitplanes hooked.
All the needed devices are in the driver, but commented out till can properly decrypt the program ROMs and identify the CPU.
About the encryption scheme, see the driver notes about my findings.

- Fixed flag calculation for HIB opcode
- Hooked SuperFX chip up to the SNES machine driver
* Fixed the coin counters.
* Documented all the output ports.
* Added a scheme with descriptions for every existent port.
* Added full lamps support to naroutp, naroutjp, naroutrh and naroutpn.
* Created lamps layouts for 11 and 12-lamps scheme.
* Rerouted some inputs to mantain the inputs layout.
* Renamed some inputs to match the text with the real cab buttons.
* Removed the imperfect colors flag from the existent sets.
* Added 2 different control panel layouts to the source.
* Updated technical notes.
- added unidasm to the tools build
- split the disassemblers out of libcpu and into new libdasm
- ensured the disassembly entry points for all disassemblers are
in the source file for the disassembler (sometimes new generic
versions were created)
Still needs command line options and file loading, but the
fundamentals are present, and it links.

I have done Intel 4004 implementation, here is a patch (it also
contain a POC driver for 4004 Nixie tube clock, that runs under MESS).
4004clk is artwork file, and roms file contain needed roms (just rename ZIP).

* Full Inputs.
* DIP Switches.
* Simulated spark-watchdog circuitery.
* Demuxed custom port.
* NVRAM support.
* CPU clock derived from #defined crystal.
* 8000-8007 Output ports.
* Coin related counters.
* Sound components and trigger found at 8000-8003, bit2.
* Full lamps support.
* PCBs layouts & technical notes.
The 4 games are fully playable. Sound seems to be discrete, so the circuitery need to be traced.
Colors are still wrong.

changes:
- split tmmjprd / tmpdoki from rabbit.c as it uses the graphic chip in a very different way, and having them together was making it more difficult to make progress on [David Haywood]
- changed them to use custom rendering code instead of tilemaps, as they can address tile data at a sub-tile level, this fixes the girls in the intro [David Haywood]
- added inputs [Angelo Salese]
- added some notes about a hang, and possible reason [David Haywood]
- marked the graphic roms of tmpdoki as BAD as it appears to be using tiles which are not present in the tmmjprd roms for the title screen [David Haywood]

Subject: [patch] "Regularize" some interfaces in MAME
Hi mamedev,
This patch adjusts the code in a few places to be more regular in it
object approach. It recognizes five idioms.
1. device_configs should be passed const. dsp56k.h took a non-const
device_config for no particular reason, necessitating casting where
used. A few other places cast to non-const, in most cases
unnecessarily.
2. running_machines should be passed non-const. A few places used
const in different ways on running_machines, instead of the idiomatic
non-const running_machine.
3. Eliminate passing running_machine explicitly where it can be
computed. esrip.c, m37710.c, sfbonus.c had cases where the machine
could easily be eliminated.
4. Pass the object machine/config first. In some cases this makes
the interface object oriented, in some cases it simply makes it more
idiomatic with the rest of MAME.
5. Prefer (screen, bitmap, cliprect) to (machine, bitmap, cliprect).
Fully implementing this would be a large patch, this patch simply does
it for the one core 'device', tms9928a.c.
Namco custom IDs where appropriate.
Added clocks to the Namco 06xx in anticipation of improved
device interconnection.
Added new file devtempl.h which can be used to generate the
DEVICE_GET_INFO function. Updated all the Namco I/O devices
to use this.
Updated galaga driver to use computed video timing.
Updated polepos and bosco drivers to use the new 52xx sound
emulation, wiring up the output through the discrete mixer that
Derrick had already plumbed but left disabled.
This required several MB88xx changes/fixes:
- internal timer support now works; prescaler is guessed based
on Pole Position sample playback frequency
- external counter support works
- a basic mechanism for reading serial input has been added; it
is not sufficient for a full implementation, but good enough
to sample the SI pin at startup
- fixed TSTS/TSTV to clear their respective flags
- fixed CI and CYI to compute imm-reg instead of reg-imm
- added masking of the PA register upon RTI/RTS to prevent bogus
PC values
the information needed to connect to the CPU and other devices
specified in the definition.
Updated drivers to use this new device.
(I notice that the bosco shoot sound no longer changes pitch during
another explosion. Not sure if this was fixed prior or if the
recent device-ification cleaned something up....)
Converted Namco 51xx and 53xx into proper devices. The MB84xx is not
yet emulated, but is now present.
Converted 51xx and 53xx interfaces to use the devcb system for
port I/O callbacks.
Dig Dug is known to be somewhat broken at the moment.
