MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

Source Changes

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

Added GAME_IMPERFECT_SOUND flag to taitogn.c games since we don't emulate the sound CPU. [Fabio Priuli]

 

CDP1802: [Curt Coder]

- refactored the Q and DMA callbacks to use devcb

- fixed state code output and load mode

 

Added FP registers to PPC debugger interface. Fixed bugs in the x64 back-end that prevented proper 3D rendering for Model 3 games. [Aaron Giles]

 

ARM7 improvements: [R. Belmont]

- Added ARMv5+ CLZ instruction.

- Added ARMv5TE instructions: QADD, QDADD, QSUB, QDSUB, SMLAxy, SMLALxy, SMULxy, SMULWy, and SMLAWy

- Fixed disassembly of CLZ

 

Improved DIP switches in toypop. [kanikani]

 

Audited and added GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE flag to all games in the mappy.c driver (superpac, pacnpal, grobda, phozon, mappy, todruaga, digdug2, motos and clones of each) [MooglyGuy]

 

Naomi update [Deunan Knute, R. Belmont]

- Implemented cartridge protection chip mechanism

- Added protection data for doa2 and doa2m

- Added real dumped cartridge X76F100 data for doa2/doa2m

 

Several MESS-specific snes fixes for rendering. [Angelo Salese]

 

Merit Multi-Poker improvements: [Roberto Fresca]

* Full Inputs.

* DIP Switches.

* Simulated spark-watchdog circuitery.

* Demuxed custom port.

* NVRAM support.

* CPU clock derived from #defined crystal.

* 8000-8007 Output ports.

* Coin related counters.

* Sound components and trigger found at 8000-8003, bit2.

* Full lamps support.

* PCBs layouts & technical notes.

The 4 games are fully playable. Sound seems to be discrete, so the circuitry needs to be traced. Colors are still wrong.
