[Fabio Priuli]

 

System 23 update [Naibo Zhang]

- Corrected memory mapping of palette RAM and handling of palette

data. Power-On Self Test now shows correct colors.

designed to hold generic pointers that are commonly used. Moved

generic_nvram, videoram, colorram, spriteram*, paletteram* pointers

there. Added AM_BASE_GENERIC and AM_SIZE_GENERIC macros for

initializing generic pointers in memory maps. Also added

AM_BASE_SIZE_GENERIC to set both base and size in one step.

[Aaron Giles]

 

Moved global variables out of machine/generic and into a private data

structure hanging off of the running_machine. Added newly-needed

machine parameters to coin_counter_w, coin_lockout_w, and

coin_lockout_global_w. Also added machine parameter to

set_led_state. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added interface functions to get the number of dispensed tickets and

to increment the count, to remove the need for direct access to these

global variables. Also added functions to get the current count on a

particular coin counter and to determine the lockout state.

[Aaron Giles]

 

Intel 8255A: clear input latch after reading it. [Curt Coder]

 

Actually use the speaker interface if provided. [Curt Coder]

structure members at once. Updated all cases where this could be

used. [Aaron Giles]

* dropped almost completely the use of generic sizes with struct

members

* reduced as much as possible accesses to cputag calls during

emulation (they are now mainly concentrated at MACHINE_START &

DRIVER_INIT)

 

Joker's Wild: bypassed the rng test [Angelo Salese]

 

Joker's Wild: implemented bare minimum to allow it to go into gameplay

and fixed tilemap graphics [Angelo Salese]

 

Memory regions now use a tagmap for lookups. [Aaron Giles]

[Lord Nightmare, Justin Kerk]

 

Added a MDRV_EEPROM_NODEFAULT_ADD macro for drivers which do not need
