          What's new in 1.53:

 

- The King of Fighters 2002 (bootleg)

- The King of Fighters 2002 Plus (bootleg 2)

- The KOF Special Edition 2004 (hack)

- Added a no rotate vertical games option for the vertical CPS-1 and 2 games. This is very handy if you own a rotatable TFT screen.

- Fixed some games not showing when the 'Hide Redundant Games' option is used.

- Fixed Matrimelee (bootleg) to use the original bootleg V ROMs. Also fixed it to use the P roms from the parent set (data identical in both sets).

- Updated C5 ROM in Matrimelee as old was bad.

- Fixed Dynasty Wars DIP switches

Fixed colours in Battle City [Roberto Gandola]

 

Slight change to the Arcadia Driver [Nathan Woods]

src/drivers/arcadia.c:

src/includes/amiga.h:

src/machine/amiga.c:

- Refactors code specific to the Arcadia arcade system and the Amiga

computer out of src/machine/amiga.c into callbacks.  This allowed me to

get rid of all #ifdef MESS code out of src/machine/amiga.c

 

ST-V updates [Angelo Salese]

-Fixed a bug with the VDP-1 ram reading,

  SH-2 can do byte or word access, it's implicit that can't do long word access.

  This fixes the Steep Slope Sliders booting so the game now works.

-VDP-1 PTM's "draw by request" was actually causing sprites to flicker in

  kiwames,reversed back to old implementation until I or somebody else understand

  what the current issue is (clear_framebuffer?)

-Finished the game header update,let me know if you like/don't like the system

  used for the description of the games.

-fixed a ST-V visible area incorrectness which was causing Virtual Mahjong 2 to

  crash after the sound ram check

-fixed a window effect bug in Double-density interlace mode,this fixes some

  graphics in vmahjong & myfairld.

-Guessed a bitmap positioning issue in double-density interlace mode,this fixes

  the NBG1 positioning in myfairld.

-My Fair Lady now works but only with sound disabled.I have not removed the

  NOT_WORKING status due to that.

 

New Sound Functionality [Derrick Renaud]

Took Frank Palazzolo's DISCRETE_FILTER2 code and made it work outside of the

discrete system.

See sound\filter.h for new functions.

 

Added op-amp bandpass filtering circuit to sound\namco54.c

 

Game Driver Changes

* bosco, galaga, polepos, xevious - added proper filters to new Namco54 noise

  source.

src/cpu/g65816/g65816.h:

src/cpu/g65816/g65816ds.c:

src/cpu/g65816/g65816ds.h:

Thanks to Pierpaolo Prazzoli (Reip) for putting together the 0.90 release while I was away

 

General Improvements

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

 

FD1089 decryption [Nicola Salmoria, Charles MacDonald]

- 100% accurate emulation of FD1089A, FD1089B should be considered 99%

because it will have to be verified with other CPUs (it is 100% for all

currently supported games).

 

- complete tables provided by Charles MacDonald for 317-0018 (Action

Fighter), 317-0022 (Dunk Shot), 317-0168 (Aurail).

 

- partial tables derived by comparison with the unencrypted versions for

Enduro Racer, Alex Kidd, 317-0024 (Time Scanner), 317-0033 (Alien Syndrome,

3 versions), 317-0027 (SDI). (actual working cpus are needed to obtain full

tables)

 

Big Sega Update [Aaron Giles]

* dunkshot graphics correct, controls hooked up

* sdioj controls hooked up

* timescna sprites fixed

* shangona, shangnle now playable

* toutrun road fixed

* all memory mapping code unified and moved into machine/segaic16.c

* all tilemap, sprite, and road code unified and moved into

  vidhrdw/segaic16.c

* improved documentation on the various register layouts on the video side

 

Note that in the process, I broke the title screen animation for Laser

Ghost, and there is now a 1-pixel column error on ddcrew's attract mode.

These are known issues that I will try to address soon.

 

Some ST-V fixes which allow seabass to run [Angelo Salese]
