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

 

- [Neo-Geo] Added the latest infos about ms5pcb, the BIOS still missing, but you can use the asia-s3.bin bios just copy 4 times (512 KB) this bios and rename into 268-bios.bin in your ms5pcb zip file, this however is not correct at all, because is not confirmed if this set uses svcpcb or kf2k3pcb BIOS type.

- [Neo-Geo] Changed kf2k2spr layout, the dumper confirmed the rest of the ROMs.

- [Neo-Geo] Emulated WatchDog protection, this was patched before.

- [Neo-Geo] Reordered a bit trhe src and added a new callback for bankswitch handlers.

- [Neo-Geo] Fixed (partially) the character selection screen bug in cthd2003 and cthd2k3sp, this however stills incorrect, because the problem comes directly from the 68K core used by now.

- [Neo-Geo] Confirmed pnyaa sprite dumps and added decrypted C set.

- [Neo-Geo] Added and updated comments in the src that contains info about games and their protections.

- [CPS-1] Removed sf2cebr, is not a real hack or bootleg.

 

*NOTE: ms6bbot is not correct, this set is missing the real sprite data, for now it's using mslug3 sprite ROMs.

3.87a

 

* fixed: 'file sharing problem' handles files as missing

* fixed: browse for folder didn't work very well on some XP systems (very rare issue)

* fixed: adv. rebuilder's remove-only creates some not-used folders

* misc: support for chds in a pure rompath is now only optionally available. It's not officially supported in MAME anymore, so you have to keep them in rompath subfolders now....or you enable the new scanner advanced option to allow them in a rompath root.

* misc: compiled with new zipclass lib

* misc: changed some optimization compiler settings

* misc: warningswindow shows an info about "fix-missing scans all files" (when used)
