Fixed Wiggie Waggle crash

 

Fixed some speaker settings

 

schaser - updated sounds to include missle effect and

fix dot sounds per schematics.

 

SN76477 emulation - fixed bug where gain was 3x more

then it should be, causing effects to clip for 2/3rds

of the time.

 

SN76477 emulation - fixes the attack time for one-shot

envelope mode.

 

Fixed crash in crash, ripcord and robotbwl and added

sample support to them. Samples not currently

Changes from Nathan Woods

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

 

src/sndintrf.c:

src/sndintrf.h:

- Added entries for two MESS specific sound cores

 

src/sound/wavwrite.c:

src/sound/wavwrite.h:

src/sound/discrete.c:

- Changed wavwrite type from 'void *' type to an opaque pointer

'wav_file *'

 

src/cpu/g65816/g65816op.h:

- This patch fixes a bug whereby the CPU could switch modes without

entering the set of functions for that mode. Specifically, if a mode

change occurs it will break out of the execute function and reenter the

correct function.

 

Changes from Nicola Salmoria

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

 

documented debug mode in TNZS

 

Fixed some bad gfx in Sky Lancer

 

Rebalanced Gyruss volume

 

NMK004 sound simulation

 

playmark.c updates

- Fixed sprite/tile priorities in World Beach Volley, and fixed SOME

priorities in Excelsior - but not all of them, the high score screen is

still wrong.

- Found bitmap enable bit, fixes girl pictures sticking in Big Twin and

Excelsior, and garbage graphics in Excelsior.

- Added rowscroll support, fixes wbeachvl37b7gre.

- As previously noted, wbeachvl37b16gre could be a genuine bug of the

original - I don't see how it could work otherwise.

 

Changes from Pierpaolo Prazzoli

Super Slam update

- Fixed sprites

- Fixed text tilemap colors

- Fixed text tilemap scrolls

- Fixed VSync

 

Fixed dips in Sky Lancer

 

playmark.c update

- Fixed dipswitches in Excelsior

- Tweaked bitmap scroll in Excelsior

- Changed bitmap to be drawn after the fg_tilemap (this is correct in Excelsior

and looks better in Big Twin, but looking at the service mode in Excelsior

some "good" bits are trasparent)

- Added Continue dipswtich in Big Twin
