Mame 81u4 Released


What's New:
0.81u4
General Source Changes
Hyperstone CPU core fixes [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
- Added addressing of next byte if in load / store instructions using
Displacement Address Mode PC is used as register destination
- Added local registers wrap around modulo 64
- Added trap instructions to the dasm
- Added some debug info when high global registers are written
- Fixed some wrong format in the dasm
- Changed reset to act as an exception, as the doc claims (before it crashed
if reset was used as an exception)
Killer Instinct Fixes [Aaron Giles]
* cleaned up memory maps
* found second bitmap page, fixing a bunch of video problems and romoving
the egregious hack I had in there before
* fixed sound reset and initialization
* all diagnostics pass
* fixed coinage dipswitches
* added 2 alternate ROM sets for each game
Fixes: kinst067gre2, kinst072gre
MIPS DRC fixes [Aaron Giles]
Fixes an edge case where a memory access like:
lw r3,$0(r0)
would leave the stack in a funny state and lead to a crash.
Fixes kinst067red.
Instructions of the form:
ld r10,0(r10)
Would load the low word into r10 first, and then use the modified r10 (plus
4) as the address of the high word. Bad bad bad.
Fixes the sky graphics in several of the kinst2 levels.
ZN Improvements [smf]
24-bit rendering support for Judge Dredd
Updates to the 'jalmah' driver [Angelo Salese]
kakumei and kakumei2 now boot but neither are playable due to protection
Misc Updates [Nathan Woods]
src/windows/windows.mak:
- Fixes the afore mentioned problem with x86drc.c
src/fileio.c:
src/windows/fileio.c:
- Adds in a new (windows only) mode for opening files whereby files
can be opened for read/write, but changes are not actually not written
to the original file but rather to a temporary file. This trick is used
by the MESS testing facility so that tests do not mutate the images they
operate on.
- Small cleanups
src/png.c:
- Replaces a #ifdef MESS/#else/#endif combo with a usage of the
APPNAME macro
SPI / 386 updates [Ville Linde]
* raidnfgt now runs normally and correctly through
attract mode and gameplay, modulo the encrypted
graphics. Still kinda mesmerizing
* viperp1 starts to boot now, but doesn't get very far
* Hooked up the Z80 bankswitching, so sound started
playing in some games (notably Raiden Fighters). (R.Belmont)
Various ST-V updates [Mariusz Wojcieszek]
fixes sprites in groovef which is now playable, adds some RBG0 scrolling
which greatly improves background graphics in cotton2, cottonbm, grdforce
and othellos
Debugger Fixes [Aaron Giles]
This is a quick attempt to make the debugger more useable with the new
memory system. The masking of addresses and data should now be working
properly again.
Also, you can go to any memory window and type 'P' to view program address
space, or 'T' to view data address space.
OSD 'NO EXECUTE' Support [Aaron Giles]
This patch introduces two new OSD functions:
osd_alloc_executable();
osd_free_executable();
For most platforms, these can just map to malloc and free. However, starting
with WinXP SP2, if you are running on a processor that supports the
NO_EXECUTE bit (currently only 64-bit AMD chips),
standard user-mode memory allocations won't allow you to put code in them
and execute it.
Since this is exactly what x86drc.c does, I've added the two functions
above. On Windows, these map to calling VirtualAlloc and VirtualFree, which
allow you to specify the read/write/execute states of the pages thus
allocated.
Lethal Justice / Egg Venture Cleanups [Aaron Giles]
* merged memory maps
* fixed video size in Egg Venture to correct flicker
* switched to VIDEO_RGB_DIRECT
* removed unnecessary ROM regions and memcpy'ing
Rockola Cleanups / Fixes [Curt Coder]
* Fantasy/Nibbler/Pioneer Balloon
drivers/rockola.c

- Enabled debug inputs

CHDMan CHDCD creation fix [R.Belmont]
Improved timing of several 68k instructions [sebastien VOLPE]
these changes could do with being verified on a real 68k
m68kcpu.h, m68kcpu.c:
---------------------
A) scc (68000 only): CYC_SCC_R_FALSE was defined, not used, and misnamed as
the extra 2 cycles happens when CC is true: now used and renamed to
CYC_SCC_R_TRUE
m68kmake.c:
-----------
add/adda/and/or/sub/suba (68000 only): the 'extra 2 cycles' cases were not
handled correctly: corrected to be effective on.l only, and also on register
direct (previously, all sizes were affected, and only in immediate mode)
C) jmp d(An,Xn) / pea (An) (68000/68010): tables corrected
D) movem (68000/68010): generated basecount were incorrect in many cases, so I
added a dedicated table
m68k_in.c:
----------
E) movem.l d(PC),reglist / movem.l d(PC,Xn),reglist (68000/68010): changed
basecount
F) asr/asl/lsr/lsl/ror/rol/roxr/roxl (68000/68010): added '+2n' cycles where
missing, as the shift/rotate memory is the only case where '+2n' does not
apply, and is treated in a specific opcode handler.
