Source Changes

--------------

Improved the cidelsa driver: [Curt Coder]

- rewrote the cdp1802 cpu emulation as a state machine

- fixed Draco dips and inputs (what a strange game!)

- added NVRAM to Destroyer/Draco (Altair has no battery on the PCB)

- fixed some clocks

 

Fixed mapping of spaceship controls in spcenctr. [Canim]

 

Removed the inclusion of unnecessary header files across the project. [Atari Ace]

 

Added discrete filters to the new Namco 54xx sound effects. Also implemented filters for the 52xx sound effects in preparation for future changes. [Derrick Renaud]

 

Added pause support to the output system: [bob Seidel]

- added "pause" message through the Output system to let clients know when MAME is paused

- the state of an item is now sent when the item is first created

- updated ledutil to use the pause state

 

Added cocktail mode and DIP locations to the Millipede driver. [Mike Haaland]

 

Many more CPS2 keys added. Removed all XORs and support for them from MAME. [Nicola Salmoria, Andreas Naive]

 

Fixed regression in the ar_xeon driver sprites. [Ernesto Corvi]

 

Kaneko driver improvements:

- bloodwar: [Gary Walkling, Sebastien Volpe]

* protection data extracted, still needs to be verified

* collision detection simulation thanks to tests on real board

- bonkadv: [Guru, Sebastien Volpe]

* protection data fully verified: corrects tilemap colors in levels 2 and 3

* correct implementation of MCU command 43

 

Fixed behavior of MOVEC instruction on later 680x0 chips, and in the disassembler. [Ernesto Corvi]

 

Properly idenitified sound ROMs for Altered Beast set 2. [brian Troha]

 

Fixed bad bits in a couple of FD1094 keys. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed bug in debugger that caused incorrect end offsets to be computed on CPUs with an address shift. [Ville Linde]

 

Moved some additional pieces of core functionality in the the core utility library. [Nathan Woods]

 

Added sound to porky. [Tomasz Slanina]

 

Changed font scaling again. Fonts 24 pixels tall and above are scaled the old way. Fonts smaller than that are scaled via integral scale factors and adjusted the new way. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added a small optimization to the FD1094 decoding step. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added several new modules to the utility library libutil. First is a generic huffman encoding module. Second is a module that allows you to read/write AVI files in a platform-independent way. And third is a lossless A/V compression module. These three pieces together, plus some changes in the CHD code, allow for the creation of CHDs with compressed audio and video. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added two new commands to chdman: -createav converts an AVI file in uncompressed YUY format or HuffYUV-compressed YUY format with "left" prediction into a CHD. And -extractav converts a CHD containing compressed audio & video into an uncompressed YUY format AVI file. [Aaron Giles]

 

Finished hooking up laserdisc support to the new audio/video compression. Note that we still do not have canonical CHDs of laserdisc data at the moment, but all the support is now present for when they start to appear. [Aaron Giles]

Current Status, as of 18/02/07

This port was started in mid-October 2006. It is not yet finished, however it is nearing completion.

 

The game

 

* the program, working state and game data have been squeezed into the four megabytes of main memory

* it requires either shareware or commercial pak files, Amiga and PC paks have been successfully used

* total conversions and mods should work, assuming they respect the tiny memory size

* networking currently has been removed, but will return at a later date

 

Graphics

 

* the majority of the software renderering has been moved over to using the 3D hardware

* world textures are display nearly-correctly, there are however still plenty of texture-coordinate bugs!

* fake-lightmapping is currently broken, and needs some time spent on it. As a result, the game is flat-shaded

* there's no dynamic lighting yet

* there are no textures on the Alias models yet

* sprites and particles got hacked in yesterday (17/02/07) and are only partially hardware-accelerated, and have no textures

* no water, teleporter or sky animations yet

 

Sound

 

* sound effects support is about 80% finished, so expect to hear pops, clicks, the occasional screech etc

* CD music is currently being investigated

o the existing solution requires the CD soundtrack to be ripped to your flash card

o uses an MP3 decoder, running on the second processor

o ...but the file streaming slows down the primary processor a bit too much

 

Tech info

 

* uses the libfat DLDI interface, so should hopefully work on all supported flash cards

* built using the latest toolchain, devkitARM r20

* in-game performance is still not hot, but is being actively worked on - expect to see it run twice as fast in the finished build

* performance is timed using a custom function-instrumenting profiler (a bit like gprof)
