also added 2 new MVS bios dumps, and provided some extra version infomation hints [Razoola]
please people, remember to keep source UTF-8 and if you're committing on behalf of others, clean up indents to meet MAME conventions
anyone can run srcclean over a submission and see what will get hit
The King of Fighters '99 - Millennium Battle (Korean release) [Brian Hargrove]
(this is an original encrypted release with SMA-KB protection / encryption chip, old kof99k set is now kof99ka and marked as non-encrypted program)
I don't know where the current name came from. Chongchu Jianghu means "made a comeback" or something, probably because this was a hack to update a six-year-old game.
exploit slot devices: [Fabio Priuli]
- moved cart-specific components to the carts itself removing
the fake protection devices from the main system, since they
never belonged there
- removed hacky rom region destruction/construction when a
new cart is inserted, replacing it with proper bank pointers to
the carts (except for ymsnd and ymsnd.deltat region which
will require modernization of the ym devices)
- started re-organization of bootleg boards emulation, so to
reduce the need of collapsing everything into a single cart
type with multiple protection devices, more work is needed
neopcb.cpp: moved to a separate source file the emulation for
JAMMA PCB versions of a few neogeo games, since they don't
have a cartslot. [Fabio Priuli]
neogeo.xml: added information about Japanese titles and
release dates to the software list and aligned the list to the
driver. [Fabio Priuli]
Update neogeo.xml to take advantage of them.
For regular rom loading we try to autodetect the appropriate endianness and
width by matching the region tag to a device with a device_memory_interface;
this is generally not doable for software lists because the regions are
children of some slot device and thus not siblings of the devices in the root
driver (i.e. "cartslot1:maincpu" rather than "maincpu") So you have to
specify the width and endianness manually for now.
Anyone who has spare time, feel welcome to byteswap every single entry
in megadriv.xml and update them to use this :-)
Message that was posted to me
"Hi David
It was to my great disappointment that your work on the NeoGeo Multislot (Dec 2013) was not included in MAME. To aid the process I've taken your work and spent some hours addressing the concerns put forward by the developers. The code I'm sending to you converts Neo Geo to fully use slot devices for the cartridges and implements the multi-slot using techniques that have greater likelihood of being met with approval.
In some places the slot trampolines caused performance to drop below 100% so I've used methods to avoid them gathered by the study of other slot devices in MESS. Performance is the same as it was prior to this update.
I first sent this with the forms on the official site but received no reply so I'm turning to you directly.
