TG16/PCE emulator

2006/11/17 0.81 released

- The interrupt processing has been improved, and the speed was elaborately adjusted. As a result, it modeled on a real machine. (When "Asuka120%" was played, the problem that the message display fell into disorder occasionally was corrected. I think the operation timing of other software has approached a real machine, too.)

- At the start of "Chase H.Q", the problem being displayed for drew extra was solved.

- When the stage of "S.C.I" was cleared, the problem that an extra drawing is uncommonly displayed was solved.

- In the demo scene of "PC Denjin", a part of drawing that was not correct was corrected.

- In the "high score display scene" of "Puyo Puyo CD", the raster scroll became accurate.

- When "Forgotten Worlds" is started, "Swap SEL&RUN" menu is made to be executed automatically.

- When "Screen" menu sets "None Stretched", the bug with the game that did a wrong drawing was corrected.

- "MoreEarly RasterTiming" menu was added to "CPU" menu.

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

Fixed flags access in the i286 core. [barry Rodewald]

 

Updated MC146818 module to use new core date/time routines. [Nathan Woods]

 

Cleaned up disassemblers to remove stubs and ensure the disassemblers are not referenced except in debug builds. [Nathan Woods]

 

Added support for using CHDs to decrypt CPS2 games. This code is disabled for the moment, but will be enabled in the future. Only a handful of games have complete tables so far. These tables are huge (~4GB) and uncompressable until the encryption algorithm is understood. [David Haywood]

 

Fixed bug in the debugger that caused watchpoints to not be active until the next context switch. [smf]

 

Cleaned up the input definitions for n-way joysticks so they are more explicit. Added concept of a "16-way" joystick, which is a joystick that doesn't prevent simultaneous opposing directions from bring reported. [smf]

 

Major System 573 update: [smf]

* fixed PSX SIO control register behavior

* implemented several SCSI CD commands: START/STOP UNIT, PAUSE/RESUME, READ SUB-CHANNEL, READ TOC

Galaxian/Scramble driver reorganization: [Atari Ace]

* machine/scramble.c is broken up into two files, machine/galaxian.c and machine/scramble.c

* drivers/amidar.c, drivers/frogger.c, drivers/scobra.c get copies of some of the data structures they shared from other drivers

* galaxian_base is made static and uses outside of the main driver were rewritten

* cclimber_decode code from drivers/cclimber.c was separated into its own machine/cclimber.c file to allow mshuttle to share it without taking on other dependencies

 

Added missing x-flipping support in Major Havoc. [Mathis Rosenhauer]

 

Made some improvements to trivia madness driver. There still is something wrong in the question roms banking. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

* vdp1: added shading for sprites (used by znpwfv, cotton, others)

* vdp1: fixed sprite clipping (fixes incorrect sprites in znpwfv)

* vdp1: fixed transparency on colour lookup table sprites (fixes bad sprites in znpwfv)

Significant cleanup of chd.c: [Aaron Giles]
