Source Changes

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

Changed how perodic timers are defined. Previously, you would specify a

number which was interpreted either as Hz (if less than 50000) or as

nanoseconds (if greater than 50000). Now, the time is specified as a period

and you use the standard TIME_IN_HZ or TIME_IN_NS macros. [Aaron Giles]

 

Turned on address error checking in the 68000 core. This slows things down a

bit but is more accurate and allows correct behavior of a couple of badly-

programmed games. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed several issues with address error checking in the 68000 core.

[Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed 68000 bug that treated 8-bit branches with $FF offsets as illegal,

rather than allowing them and generating an address error. [Aaron Giles]

 

Created a new header file mamecore.h, which contains the core common useful

macros and typedefs that were scattered throughout the header files. Also

added endian swapping macros from MESS. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fully deprecated the use of cpu_setbank(), which was long ago replaced with

memory_set_bankptr(). [Aaron Giles]

 

Did some major cleanup on the MCR drivers [Aaron Giles]

- Implemented Super Sound I/O interrupts properly.

- Filled out all memory maps according to schematics.

- Fixed sound sync with various sound boards, allowing for kludges to be

  removed from Power Drive and Star Guards.

- Re-verified all connections from wiring diagrams.

- Documented various lamp and driver boards from the games.

 

Some makefile tweaks to hopefully catch variable declaration problems that

kept creeping into builds. Switched gcc compiler standard to gnu89.

[Atari Ace]

 

Removed usage of dirent.h APIs on Windows builds. [Atari Ace]

 

Corrected resolution to 256x256 in Stagger I, Red Hawk, Sen Jin - Guardian

Storm. All other games still have old visible area that is correct for them.

[Mamesick]

 

Fixed crash in Volfied and Operation Wolf due to improper timer usage.

[Nicola Salmoria]

 

Fixed one of the TC360 sprite blending modes (used in Pulirula round 2 and

Liquids Kids attract mode). [bryan McPhail]

 

Fixed sprite/tilemap placement in Legend of Kage. [Phil Stroffolino]

 

PowerPC core update: [Nathan Woods]

- Added infrastructure to generate DSI and ISI exceptions

- Made the lbz/lbzu/lbzux/lbzx instructions properly clear out the

  high 24 bits in the results

- Added SRR0 and SRR1 to the debug view

 

Did some cleanups in the vamphalf.c driver. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Fixed speedbal again, after breaking it in the last update.

[Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Changed Nitro Ball to use the new deco16_tilemap_34_combine_draw function

Bryan added some time ago. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Added a sprite wrap around needed in Riot level 2. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Added sound to Dragon Bowl. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
