also mame\includes\multfish.h can/must be removed from source tree coz it is not used by driver. by MetalliC (no whatsnew)
update Megadrive cart module for support "Pier Solar" cart (mapper and "ST M95" eeprom code) by MetalliC (no whatsnew)
Comment: note, could still do with andreas seeing if he can find a relationship between the encryption tables we've derived from studying the
protection (used to decrypt the various blocks in the protection data
rom) and the final block in the protection data rom..
* Split segas16.h header into separate headers for each system
* Fully modernize segas16a
* Convert multiply, divide, and compare/timer chips into
modern devices
* Fix bug causing tturfu and wrestwar to hang at startup
baseboard there (most of these ones actually run quite well apart from
some moaning about reels) This board used the AY8913, the mod4 board
didn't have that, so it's a logical split point. Also some more identification / tagging etc. of other sets. From Haze (nw)
* Converted FD1089/FD1094 into proper devices, derived
from m68000. They now handle their own decryption and
memory management, so we can remove all the calls for
initialization/reset/etc. The key now lives as a 'key'
subdevice under the CPU, and the FD1089/1094 are now
specified just like any other CPU.
* Removed the horrible s16fd and s24fd files. Good riddance.
* Created a helper class for managing fd1094 decryption
caches.
* Converted the memory mapper into a new modern device
and updated the segas16b, segaorun, and segas18 drivers
to use it. Fixed ROM memory mapping so that the source
ROMs can be loaded contiguously, removing a bunch of
hacks.
* Untangled the joined segas1x_state and split the states
for each system into their own classes. Cleaned up some
implementations.
* Added support for member functions to be called as
DRIVER_INIT functions. To do this, #define
MODERN_DRIVER_INIT prior to #including "emu.h" and you
will be required to specify a class and member function
for your driver init.
* Fully modernized the segas16b and segas18 drivers.
New working games added
-----------------------
GP Rider (Japan) [ShouTime, Charles MacDonald, Aaron Giles]
Last Survivor [ShouTime, Charles MacDonald, Aaron Giles, 9ofzeven, TrevEB,
Dr. Spankenstein, ghoolster, Surgeville, Tormod, Tjaberg, Waremonger]
(Note: A couple games are still busted, but most are working. Will
follow up with more updates.)
(mpu4dealem.c) because it's a unique expansion, no point in having all
that stuff in the main state. The standard video board it's own state class too, and moved specifics to that, plus converted the scn2674 video chip to be a device (new files there too) again reducing the amount of junk in the base mpu4 state. From Haze (nw)
- Based on timeslot modelling, the implementation models gate delays in logic chips.
- Design ready to be split into a generic and a MAME implementation part.
- Design prepared to merge in discrete components from discrete.*
- Supports code based as well as external net list parsing.
Ultimately, net lists and discrete emulation should share one code base. The class design was set up to accomplish this. There is no point in having multiple 555, 7474 implementations around.
Most of the code will be moved to lib/netlist going forward to allow usage in other projects.
