Wired up save state support for all the games in pacman.c, jrpacman.c, and pengo.c. Marked all games as GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added new generic macros to state.h to make it simpler to do save states. Use state_save_register_global(var) to register a driver-related global variable. Use state_save_register_item(module, instance, var) to register other variables with specific module and instance names. Converted the MCR and Cinematronics vector saves over to this. As a result, save states for games will be incompatible with prior versions of MAME. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added save state support to the 8255 PPI, 7474 TTL, and the TMS5110 sound chip. Added save state support to the galaxian.c driver and all the associated drivers. Marked all games in galaxian.c, scramble.c, scobra.c, frogger.c, and amidar.c as GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE. [Aaron Giles]

 

Changed the timing of save state bank registration so that dynamically installed banks will work properly. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added validity check to ensure driver names are 8 characters or less. [Aaron Giles]

We spent all this week to test our PC-FX games with the latest version of MagicEngineFX (spent two whole months before that to enhance the emulation), we didn't want to release the emulator until at least 75% of our games were working correctly but after this round of testing it looks like we have reached this goal : 80% of our games work now!

 

That doesn't mean that we can release the emulator right now though, ^^; but at least now the compatibility rate is not holding back the release anymore, which is a good news.

 

We still have to complete :

 

* the PC-FX BIOS emulation (90% done)

* the Direct-X driver (it's almost complete, are missing only the new features that MagicEngineFX requires compared to MagicEngine)

* the localized GUI (40% done)

* an installer and small external setup program

 

No release date yet but we will keep you informed of progress. Meanwhile we have prepared a little compatibility list for those who want to go shopping while waiting for the release. It does not contain all the PC-FX games yet (only those we have) but we are planning to test the others soon.

 

A lot of the games that are marked 'GOOD' seem to work perfectly but some still have minor glitches, don't expect 100% perfect emulation in all the working games for the first release of MagicEngineFX, but you can expect very good quality emulation.
