Added Dip Locations to vastar.c driver [Tafoid]
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status
---------------------------------------------------
Planet Probe [Alberto Grego, Corrado Tomaselli, f205v, David Haywood]
based on Z80 family, plus 2x 8255 PPI, and YM3812 / Y3014
for sound. The status is still preliminary. [Roberto Fresca]
New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
------------------------------------
Super Card (encrypted) [Roberto Fresca, Team Europe]
- Renamed the internal layout artwork: bigdeal --> bonuscrd.
- Default Bonus Card & Big Deal DIP switches positions, that
allow boot the system without errors.
-avr8: Implemented MULS, ANDI, STD Z+, LD -Z, LD Y+, LD -Y, LD -X, SWAP, ASR,
ROR, and SBIS opcodes. [MooglyGuy]
-avr8: Moved Timer 0-2 into the CPU core itself, 30x driver speedup [MooglyGuy]
-cratft.c: Fixed DAC bit order, audio now plays but is 40% too slow [Mooglyguy]
- Fixed some glitches with the SE/30's built-in video
- Added preliminary infrastructure for LC and '030-type processor-direct slots
- Support for SE/30 processor-direct slot version of RasterOps Colorboard 264
types. Created a binding_type_exception which is thrown when
a bind attempt fails due to mismatched types.
Added helper templates to driver_device to wrap legacy
device read/write handlers into driver_device member functions.
This should help move some things forward until more common
code is converted into proper devices.
Introduce new module devcb2 which contains modernized
versions of devcb. Compared to previous implementation
this one is simpler overall, trampolining calls through
a single internal set of adapter functions. The new
versions are also designed to be specified in the
machine_config rather than in structures, so they are
no longer simple POD types. Additional new/changed
features:
* reads and writes can map to delegates for line or 8/16/32/64-bit
* reads and writes can map to an I/O port
* reads can be mapped to a constant value, with or without logging
* writes can be mapped to a device's input line
* all reads/writes can have a shift, mask, and/or xor applied
* devices can opt to make the functions safe-if-NULL when resolving
* only member function types are supported
Rewrote the YM2151 interface to be fully modernized, and
removed the ym2151_interface struct in favor of inline configs
using the new devcb2 mechanism. In many cases, removed
no longer needed trampolines, instead taking advantage of
direct support for input line writes.
greatly improving performaces (e.g. Manic Miner demo went from 20% to 380%
ingame). Plus added some very preliminary softlists. [David Haywood]
(MESS) spectrum_cass.xml: added very preliminary softlist containing some
interesting test case for emulation. [David Haywood]
Remaining TODO list:
- take WP into account
- test the amstrad, implement its observational format (edsk) using
pasti as a start. Or find the legendary amstrad IPFs. Or both.
- correct read track, the implementation is completely wrong. See
previous for testing, it's only used in protections the check the
inter-sector gaps.
- shake and bake on the amstrad, protections are the best to find bugs
in a fdc
- add the scan id commands, but nothing seems to use them
- debug the 2.88M formatting which is unreliable. Fix its IDAM/DAM
gap size on formatting too (but that's not what's making it
unreliable)
- test all the systems that were hit, and fix what needs to be fixed.
Beware that multiple problems may happen:
- upd765 may be wrong
- the driver may not be working
- the hookup may be wrong/incomplete (bitrate selection and floppy
rpm in particular)
- the driver may be too limited for the new implementation (the x68k
dma device does not handle non-instant dma yet for instance)
- report invalid command when appropriate depending on the actual chip
emulated
- add the russian clones with their real names
and added a new command line option of "-viewlist" which will print out a list
of all the devices that can be viewed in human readable logic equations.
Also updated the jedutil regression test to support passing in an additional argument of "debug" to print out a detailed log. Also moved the jedutil regression test
data into separate directories composed of the device's name to make things
more organized. [Kevin Eshbach]
non-templatized helper class so that the code can live
co-located, rather than invading device.h.
Changed the read/write delegates to derive from
device_delegate. Updated the address map macros to create
these properly.
Removed remnants of the old AM_BASE/SIZE macros from the
memory system.
eventually, nes_mmc and its pieces (nes_pcb, nes_ines & nes_unif) will contain a cart slot device and allow for
things like on-cart sound chips and eeprom devices to be properly emulated
