Source Changes

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

Integrated 53C810 into the SCSI framework. [Tomas Karlsson]

 

Balanced the sound in Final Tetris, Boogie Wings, B.C. Story, Metal Saver.

[sonikos]

 

Fixed Q*Bert knocker connection. [Kevin Jonas]

 

Some improvements to M37710, C352 and NamcoNA sound. [cync]

 

Corrected CPS1 frequencies based on measurements from a real PCB.

[Philip Bennett]

 

Significant change to the memory system. RAM areas are now no longer

allocated out of the memory_region for a given CPU. This means that drivers

which assume that RAM is located at some offset to the base of the memory

region will be broken. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added save state information for streams so that dynamic volume changes

get properly restored. Unfortunately this breaks all existing save states.

[Aaron Giles]

 

Added save state support to the HC55516 sound chip. Added save state support

to the Williams sound boards. Added save state support to games in the

mcr3.c and mcr68.c drivers, marking them as GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE. [Aaron Giles]

 

Changed timer_alloc_ptr-style timers so that the pointer parameter is

supplied at allocation time and is not changeable. This makes these timers

more easily supported in save states. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed missing save state registrations in the m6809 CPU core. [Aaron Giles]

 

Deferred state loading until all anonymous timers have cleared. This fixes

issues where the timers would fire after the load and would clobber data

that was just loaded. [Aaron Giles]

 

Cleaned up and fully mapped the Williams sound boards. Also added save state

support to them. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added save state support to the classic Williams drivers, marking them as

GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE. [Aaron Giles]

QuickPlay is a powerful universal emulator frontend, which has support for countless emulators and systems. QuickPlay is written in Delphi 2005 Personal Edition and is released under a BSD license which means its free AND you can take the source code and do whatever you want with it, as long as you leave my name in it somewhere.

Paul Dunn released BASin r12a to the public. It is not strictly an emulator, but a Spectrum BASIC Development environment! It saves to .tap and .tzx files, so programs created in BASin can be run on emulators.
