MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

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

01691: [Misc.] Various Sets: when exiting a game, seems to be any game I get an eip error (Aaron Giles)

01697: [Graphics] sfa3, sfa3b, sfa3u, sfa3ur1: About the blue background in startup screen. (Nicola Salmoria)

00206: [Graphics] ninjakd2: PCB info for Nicolas state. (Nicola Salmoria)

Source Changes

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

PSX core updates: [smf]

- removed casts and removed unnecessary decoding from NCLIP.

- added signed values to PAIR & PAIR64.

- renamed PAIR64.lw to PAIR64.q

- tidied up DPCS, improved flag calculation and added support for lm/sf fields.

- added sf/lm support to INTPL, improved flag calculation & calculates correct rgb

- fixed calculation of bit 31 of GTE FLAG register, when writing to it directly.

- added lm mode to OP and fixed the calculation.

- added lm mode to SQR.

 

Seibu implementation cleanups: [David Haywood]

- added cop/heatbrl ram clear stuff

- tried to make cop a bit more generic, breaks a few things for now, but better than duplicated code all over the place

- added the sound cpu to raiden2, although it doesn't make any sounds

 

Fixed CPS1 palette control register to match tests on msword psb. [Nicola Salmoria, Corrado Tomaselli]

 

Changed the pic8259 implementation into a device. [Wilbert Pol]

 

Fixed an opcode in quizf1. Fixed encrypted disassembly for bp+ix+offset8 and bp+it+offset8. [Robiza]

 

Modified bionicc to compute the palette based on the schematics. [Nicola Salmoria]

 

Verified several CPS1 graphics ROM mappings against PAL dumps. [Nicola Salmoria]

 

Changed device read/write functions to take a const device_config *. Reverted recent hacks to get around this and removed unnecessary casts. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed I8039 DAA instruction when A is > 0xF9. [Wilbert Pol]

 

Fixed crosshair update when the game is not polling the coordinates. [smf]

 

Merged CPS1, CPS2 memory maps and some tweaks from schematics, though to get perfect memory maps dumps of the A-board PALs would be needed. [Nicola Salmoria]

 

Adjusted docastle refresh rate to match PCB measurement. [Nicola Salmoria]

 

Finished memory map merge for W drivers. [Andrew Gardner]

 

Added support for using smaller-sized memory handlers directly in memory maps. To do so, you need to use the new AM_READn/AM_WRITEn macros and specify a mask for which bits are connected. [Aaron Giles]

 

Removed word-sized handlers from 6821pia.c. Updated drivers that needed them to use these new interfaces instead. [Aaron Giles]

 

Updated gaelco3d.c and itech8.c to remove the need for memconv.h by using this new feature. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added machine parameter and macros for the CDP1802 callback functions. This seems to have fixed the player sprite flashing in Destroyer/Altair/Draco. [Curt Coder]

 

Fixed lookup table for sprites in spikes91. [Robiza]

 

Made some changes to the 'v25' code in toaplan2.c. Batsugun does upload what looks to be the entire program, unencrypted. If enabled it runs to the point of waiting for interrupts, however, for those it looks like it needs a real V25 core with register banks etc. [David Haywood]

 

Converted the IDE controller to a device. Updated all drivers accordingly. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added new functions for dynamically installing device memory read/write handlers. [Aaron Giles]

 

Updated install_memory_XXX_handler() functions to take a machine parameter. Updated all drivers accordingly. [Aaron Giles]

 

Merged installation of read and write handlers where appropriate. [Aaron Giles]

 

Simplified memory.c code for dynamic installation so that a single function handles all the work; a NULL read or write handler indicates not to install anything for reads or writes. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed sprite overdraw mode to match Mutant Night movie. [Nicola Salmoria]

 

Properly marked puzznici as a bootleg and disabled the MCU simulation on it, it has it's own internally. [David Haywood]

 

Merged memory maps for aquarium, argus, armedf, bagman, battlera drivers. [Aaron Giles]

 

Created new macro: AM_RAM_WRITE(handler) which specifies a memory range to be RAM-like for reads but calls the given handler for writes. [Aaron Giles]

 

Replaced AM_READWRITE(SMH_RAM, handler) with AM_RAM_WRITE(handler). Also replaced AM_RAM AM_WRITE(handler) with AM_RAM_WRITE(handler). [Aaron Giles]

 

Added correct rom dump for Shinobi4 set. [Arzeno Fabrice]

 

Added good denjinmk graphic rom. [Guru]

 

Removed ancient 720 kludge in the T-11 core. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added support in the T-11 core for an external vector via irq_callback. Apparently the hardware actually did support this and it is necessary for emulating the BK 0010/11 computer in MESS. [Aaron Giles]

 

 

New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status

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

Show Hand [Luca Elia]

 

 

New clones added

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

Led Storm Rally 2011 (US) [bryan McPhail]

Shinobi (alternate set) [brian Troha]

Aero Fighters (bootleg set 2) [Robiza]

 

 

New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING

[ Digg it: http://digg.com/nintendo/Nintendo_Wii_Virt..._and_HTML_files ]

The Nintendo Wii homebrew/hacking scene hit a big case of misfortune recently after the encryption for the Wii virtual console games was decrypted. Many sceners did not want this to publicly happen, as they feared it would shorten the lifespan of the Wii from piracy, and Nintendo would be more adamant in patching holes for newer firmwares.

However, since the first few virtual console games have been released in the inner cores of the Internet, one of our staff members took the liberty in seeing what one these decrypted virtual console games (and which he owned) had inside them. Upon further inspection, he found that the game held a ROM file, that can even be played on emulators! Not only that, but the documentation of the game that you can read on the Nintendo Wii is simply a bundle of HTML files. The virtual console games come with the emulator as well, and the emulator application is one of the files in the game WAD.

I finally got my hands on the files and it looks like it'd be easy enough to hack the files to use different ROMs. Hell, the ROM used by the VC title plays just fine on SNES9x

Oh, and I figured out how the archives are laid out. ^^
