Source Changes

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

Improved DIP switches in benberob. [brian Troha]

 

Added support for real Bubble Bobble MCU. [Trinity, Nicola Salmoria]

 

Fixed track lookup implementation in Virtua Racing, bringing the

game much closer to playable. [Olivier Galibert]

 

Minor cleanup and speed hack removal in the konamigx.c [R. Belmont]

 

Improved magicfly driver. All graphics are properly decoded / banked

now. [Roberto Fresca]

 

More improvements to the 6840 timer module. Updated the MPU4 driver

to the most recent implementation. Convert Cosmic Chasm over to

using the new system. [El Condor]

 

65816/377xx update: [R. Belmont]

* Made block transfer instructions interruptable as they are on

both actual chips (previously a single opcode could eat >400,000

cycles with obvious consequences for interrupt timing)

* M377xx block transfers move one less byte than the 65816, fixed

 

Adjusted the DAC sound level on the 2612 to something more

reasonable. [David Haywood]

 

Taito JC update: [Ville Linde]

* Some general improvements to the driver

* Added some more opcodes to the TMS320C51 core

 

Improved the M2 driver so that the M2 kernel starts to boot, but it

hangs quite soon due to some multiprocessor issues. [Ville Linde]

 

Updated several games' input ports to use IPT_BILL1 for bill

acceptors. [ClawGrip]

 

Properly documented and connected the MCU code in the Namco System 1,

System 86, Baraduke, Pacland, and Sky Kid drivers. [brian Troha]

 

Renamed "Native" views to "Pixel Aspect" views to avoid the confusion

that they are anything but artificial aspect ratios. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added beam width control to the UI sliders. [Aaron Giles]

 

More Zaxxon driver cleanups/fixes: [Aaron Giles]

* fixed sound problems in Razmataz

* corrected background and sprite positioning

* fixed bugs introduced in sample handling

* bootlegs and alternate versions work again

* added state saving support to the Sega universal sound board

 

Added several common generic graphics layouts to vidhrdw/generic.c,

for use by multiple drivers. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added new option -video none which can be used for CPU benchmarking

without the overhead of the video system. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed remaining crashes in GDI/ddraw mode when drawing vector games.

[Aaron Giles]

 

Removed the -artwork option to avoid confusion. If you want to run

without any artwork, use -view standard instead. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added options -screen, -aspect, -resolution, and -view which apply

to all windows. These values can be individually overridden for each

specific window by using the existing -screen, -aspect,

-resolution, and -view options. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed bug that caused the sound sampling code to not track changes in

the refresh rate. [Aaron Giles]

 

Began cleanup/rewrite of the Sega G-80 raster games. This is still

very much a WIP, so don't report any bugs: [Aaron Giles]

* cleaned up input port handling similar to the G-80 vectors

* proper clock and video speeds

* reimplemented Space Odyssey background including collision detect

* fully implemented Pig Newton background

* connected 2-board Monster Bash more correctly

 

Added new macro PORT_SERVICE_DIPLOC for specifying a PORT_SERVICE

and a DIPLOCATION. [Aaron Giles]

Casino 5 [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Arcade emulator for Xbox

FBA-XXX Pro v1.26

============

 

- Fixed graphics glitches in kof2003/kof2003d.

 

 

NOTE: If anyone finds that any encrypted NG sets are failing to load in any of the higher-res HD modes could they please let me know.

 

 

FBA-XXX Pro 1.25

============

 

- All problems with loading games in HDTV video modes should hopefully be fixed.

- Re-fixed Black/White buttons.

- Fixed Beta menu freezing when navigating gamelist.

- Replaced many Neo-Geo drivers with updated versions by iq_132. These contain many fixes and improvements including:

-- Several drivers now use less RAM during loading.

-- kof2003 is finally using the correct P3 ROM.

-- ms5pcb is now working.

-- ridhero no longer runs slow in AES mode.

-- AES mode fix for cthd2003.

-- Protection errors fixed in fatfury2.

(Massive thanks to iq for sharing these. )

 

- Removed all fully decrypted NG sets. They serve no purpose in an emulator like Pro where all protection routines are fully emulated. They also offer no significant improvements in zip compression or loading time compared with the decrypted C sets.

 

- Fixed problems with ct2k3sp.

- Restored rbff2 V3 ROM to publically available version for now.

- Removed the unavailable jgokushi set for now.

- Several miscellaneous ROMset updates.

 

- The following sets have been added:

ddsomb

ms5pcbd

 

- The following beta sets have been added:

naname

 

NOTE: The setting to enable/disable beta games has been moved to UI Options --> Menu Setting.

 

Enjoy!
