Source Changes

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

Massive cleanup/fixing of 16-bit Sega drivers: [AWJ]

* many corrections to descriptive set names, adding revision letters, cabinet types, etc.

* fixed many DIP switches and added PORT_DIPLOCATION support

* adjusted min/max values for analog controls to improve response

* fixed button ordering between System 16A/B

* cleaned up a number of ROM names and fixed some incorrect guesses

* some cleanup of turbo.c as well

* fixed visible area in Hang-On hardware

* actually disabling 8751 in games that have a fake replacement

* hooked up 8255 PPI correctly now that it has mode 2 support

* fixed behavior of NMI line in later sega sound boards

* fixed addressing in the SegaPCM sound system

* some hardware/documentation cleanup

 

Some cleanups in the new UI/video code to make MESS happy. [Nathan Woods]

 

Added macros to prevent use of strcasecmp and strncasecmp for better cross-platform compatibility. [Nathan Woods]

 

Connected unimplemented opcode $01 on the 6809 core. [Antoine Mine]

 

Implemented CNT pin and some serial features of the 6526 CIA chip. [Nathan Woods]

 

Mapped service button in slammast. [Canim]

 

Fixed bug in 8039 CPU handling of A11 latch. [Aaron Giles]

 

Rewrote Zaxxon driver from the schematics. This is still a WIP (not finished yet): [Aaron Giles]

* correct clock speeds and video timing

* complete memory maps

* connected universal sound board to Ixion and Razmataz

* simplified video code and merged common cases together

* palette derived from resistor weights

* background positioning still a little off

 

Added service_coin_lockout_w() to lockout service coins. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added MDRV_SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS() which lets you specify a pixel clock, horizontal, and vertical video timing values in place of the usual screen size, visible area, refresh rate, and VBLANK timing values. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed bug that prevented save/restore from working in the UI. [Aaron Giles]

 

Changed mode selection logic so that refresh is weighted more strongly when picking a mode. This allows you to specify -resolution 0x0@60 to force MAME to pick a 60Hz screen refresh while allowing it to choose the best resolution. [Aaron Giles]

 

 

New clones added

Viper Phase 1 (World, New Version) [Corrado Tomaselli]

Wonder Boy in Monster Land (Galaxy Electronics English bootleg)

Made In MAME32 is an alternative to MAME32.

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2006

 

MadeInMame32 0.107 released

Updated to Mame32 0.107

 

Aaron's new renderer gave us a lot of work this time

By the way, the linked core of MAME is 0.107u1, but I have removed the 3 added games (ddsomb, pokechmp and tomcatsw). I have also added an option so that BIOSes may be inluded or not in the batch file generation.
