Source Changes

* (H8) Added SHLL.W, EXTU.L, SUBS.L #2, and SUBS.L #4 opcodes

* Includes Guru's readme

* Loads all ROMs

Converted wcvol95 and hvysmash to use the 16-bit deco tilemap functions.

[David Haywood]

 

Added BCD multiply to ARM coprocessor to fix wcvol95. [David Haywood]

 

Cleaned up the Neo Geo mess from 0.103u2. [David Haywood, Razoola]

 

Added support for >4GB CHD files to chdman for non-Windows systems.

[Lawrence Gold]

 

Fixed leapyear calculation. [William Krick]

 

Converted Super Burger Time, Vapor Trail, and Crude Buster to use the

deco tilemap functions. [David Haywood]

 

Rewrote Neo-Geo video system, removing distinction between raster and

non-raster games and cleaning up the code significantly. [David Haywood]

 

Improved DIP switches for clowns, clowns1, and bowler. [bob Seidel]

 

Added CPUINFO_PTR_DEBUG_SETUP_COMMANDS: a callback that is invoked to

tell CPU cores to set up commands specific to a CPU core. [Nathan Woods]

 

Added SegBase() and SegLimit() functions to the i386 core debugger.

[Nathan Woods]

 

Improved sound balance in Night Slashers. [MAME Italia]

 

Improvements to the Deco MLC games (added sprite buffering, fixed tile

banking, fixed clear colour, added sprite clipping & ARM interrupt bug

fix). The only thing left for this driver is really raster support for

the pitch in Stadium Hero. [bryan McPhail]

 

Fixed Hang On stereo sound routine. [Mamesick]

 

Cleaned up PC keyboard code. [Nathan Woods]

 

Added memory_install_* calls that are not specific to specific bus

Converted Crazy Balloon sound to use the discrete system. [Derrick Renaud]

 

Major Namco System 22 update: [Phil Stroffolino]

* Hooked up the real master DSP BIOS.  Many games are now working or

    displaying graphics that were having problems before; removed many

    hacks as a result.

* Hooked up the runtime-configurable interrupt handlers, removing more

    game-specific hacks.

* Some improvements and additional documentation of video hardware.

* Emulated Alpine Surfer protection and fixed bogus loading of Point

    ROMs, though the game still has problems.

 

Fixed the Wild Western bonus screen, where the horse would not scroll

into view. [Nicola Salmoria]

 

Cleaned up inputs in the bfm_sc2 driver. [El Condor]

 

Fixed in the old debugger the display of opcodes for word-addressed CPUs

like the TMS32010, which was completely broken before. [Alex Jackson]

 

Separated debugger break key from OSD display. They can now be programmed

differently. Also fixed behavior in the new debugger when using the break so

that text doesn't get entered onto the command line. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed the handling of address masking and display within the debugger.

[Aaron Giles, Nathan Woods]

 

Fixed order of operations in the expression engine if functions were used.

[Aaron Giles]

 

Added timer support to the ADSP cores and hooked it up for the DCS games.

[Aaron Giles]

 

Many Voodoo updates to add Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo 3 support. [Aaron Giles]

Sony has sent out an invitation for PSP owners to beta test their upcoming title Siphon Filter: Dark Mirror. All they ask is that you go to http://pspbeta.us.playstation.com on your PSP's brower, submit an application, and hope they pick you.

 

There is one catch though: Sony is requiring that all applicants use (the still unhacked) PSP firmware 2.6 just to apply. Clever plan. Create excitement by having an open application process to beta test an upcoming game, hoping applicants will choose to forgo their downgradable/downgraded homebrew friendly firmware just for a small chance to play a new game before it's out.
