Source Changes

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

Fixed colors in loverboy. [David Haywood]

 

Fixed buffer overflow in K054539. [bUT]

 

SCSP improvements: [kingshriek]

- Added logarithmic envelope table

- Set envelope level to start at 0x17f in the ATTACK state (0x3ff-0x280) as per Neill's notes

- Changed EG_SHIFT from 8 to 16 - more precision is needed to differentiate the longer decay envelope times

- In the DECAY1-->DECAY2 transition, changed the "

- Decreased the output of the effect out mixer a bit

- Fixed unaligned 16-bit samples

- Prevented keyoffs from killing slots when already in the release state

- Envelope steps in the attack state are apparently exponential. To account for this, I change the envelope output to linear for attacks.

- Change the release rate calculation to use the decay table instead of the attack one.

 

Fixed uninitialized variable in h6280 core. [Wilbert Pol]

 

Added meter support to the Cobra games. Cleaned up some of the steppers code. [James Wallace]

 

Const-ified a number of data structures in the MAME system. [Atari Ace]

 

Added PowerPC 604 processor support. Moved PowerPC opcode tables to the CPU context to allow multiple simultaneous processors with different opcode tables. [Ville Linde]

 

dkong driver updates: [couriersud]

- Added configuration switch to change palette between TKG02 (radarscp conversion) and TKG04 (dkong 2board)

- Added speech support (samples) to radarsc1

- Fixed sound for drakton and strtheat

- Hooked up and written 8257 dma controller

All dkong and dkongjr based games now use the 8257

All epos and 2650 based games now use the 8257

- Fixed 2650 games to use dkong audio as well - only cpu replaced by addon board ...

- Updated game flags and added missing rom entries

- straightened memory maps

- Fixed bug in dkong3b memory map

- Externalized sound drivers to MACHINE_START in audio/dkong.c

- DAC Filter now uses lowpass sallen key filter

- Reorganized INPUT_PORTS

- Added Dip-Switch locations to 8ballact

- Fixed 8ballact according to conversion manual

- Reorganized code

 

Corrected a potential issue if more than one 8039/8035 is used by a driver. Also should fix a potential inconsistency between saving and loading a state. [couriersud]

 

Added an assert to ensure that the sound clear latch value is only set at init time, since its value is not saved. [Aaron Giles]

 

Modified src2html to sort by filename rather than assuming that the osd file finding routines would do so. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fix memory system regression caused by recent optimization. Fixed another bug uncovered as a result in the decrypted opcode management. [Aaron Giles]

 

More Zeus improvements. Converted over to 64-bit data and simplified the logic to work more like the hardware. [Aaron Giles]
