General Improvements

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

 

Sega Improvements [Aaron Giles]

 

Sega System 16A:

* included detailed readme in the driver file

* hooked up column/row scroll (see quartet title screen) -- don't know if

it's really right yet

* reintroduced tilemap/text priorities

* corrected Z80 clock speed

* incorporated Brian Troha's updated DIPs

* minor cleanups

 

Sega System 16B:

* fixed ROM bank mapping so it doesn't fall through to unmapped handlers

* incorporatedBrian Troha's updated DIPs

* minor cleanups

* fixed column scroll after talking to Charles about how it

works

 

Sega System 18:

* fixed ROM bank mapping so it doesn't fall through to unmapped handlers

  (fixes Shadow Dancer crash)

* expanded memory mapping code so it works from the 8751 as well as the

68000

* hooked up the 8751 in mwalk/mwalka/mwalkb -- these all work now

* removed coin lockouts as they were breaking several games' coin inputs

* hooked up Laser Ghost controls and added crosshair drawing (not 100% yet,

feel free to tweak)

* hooked up Where's Wally controls

* fixed astorm's Player 3 controls

* cleaned up ddcrew's inputs

* fixed sound ROM loading in astorma/astorm2p/mwalk*

* incorporated Brian Troha's updated DIPs

* minor cleanups

* added sprite masking effect used by Where's Wally

* fixed column scroll after talking to Charles about how it

works (ddcrew attract mode scrolls properly now)

* went through and fixed VDP priorities in all S18 games; everything should

be correct now, let me know if you find anything not right

 

Fixed i8051 cpu core bugs [Aaron Giles]

uses correct read/write memory routines for external accesses

support for external IRQs

 

Fixed an rf5c68 memory access bug [Aaron Giles]

 

Improvements to Hyper Crash [Angelo Salese]

now mostly working apart from controls and a gfx glitch on the player car

 

More Taito F2 Blending Improvements [bryan McPhail]

Added the TC0360PRI blending modes to the games with rotation layers.  This

includes Pulirula & Liquid Kids.  One of the blending modes is new to these

games (not used in Gun Frontier) and I have no way to verify it's actually

correct - someone with a working board will need to verify (Liquid Kids -fish

going in water in attract mode, Pulirula - crystals on level 2).

Modified Frogs driver to only use samples when actually needed [Derrick Renaud]

CD-Rom emulation problems

"The game starts out with the mysterious G-Man telling you, Gordon Freeman - an MIT educated theoretical physicist – that your time has come to serve the world and “to wake up and smell the ashes.” Of course, even without that speech you know that you’re supposed to put the beat down on some unruly aliens. You are then teleported into a rail car, which unlike the first game does not last very long, and you are given control of the character. As you step off the train, you see a giant screen with Dr. Breen, apparently the human leader there, giving a positive speech on how choosing to settle in City 17, an Eastern European city where much of the game takes place, was the right decision........"
