* fixed crash in nitrobal/gunball (stage 4, right route) [xvi]

 

Got Polygonet Warriors back to the POST screen. [Andrew Gardner]

 

Reduced global namespace pollution by marking many global functions explicitly static, especially in the CPU cores. [Atari Ace, Aaron Giles]

 

Some improvements to Magical Error. Title and attract works. No sound. Hangs in game. Problems with shared mem and main-sub cpu communciation. [Tomasz Slanina]

 

Added validity checks to ensure CPU core completeness. [Nathan Woods]

 

Added DIP switches for Agress. [Roberto Fresca]

 

Added the missing commands and proper maker/device ids to the flash memory handlers for Fujitsu MBM29F016A, used by Konami FireBeat. [Ville Linde]

Sega vector game updates: [Aaron Giles]

- Rewrote vector generator from schematics. Yes, it is supposed to be that jumpy on zooms!

- Corrected CPU speeds and cleaned up memory maps.

- Connected AY-8912 to Zektor for missing sound effects.

- Added emulation of the Universal Sound Board -- not yet perfected, but gets rid of the need for samples in Star Trek and Tac/Scan. Tac/Scan sounds pretty wretched now, but Star Trek is close.

- Fixed CPU clock speed on the speech board, but it appears to be a bit too slow now.

- This is still work-in-progress. Don't report bugs yet.

Notes:

[Robert]

A note from the ClrMamePro site:

 

Little remark about 104u6. The sample set congo got 2 samples renamed (congaa/congab to congah/congal). Since samples aren't listed with a hash value, a name check can't be done and cmpro lists them as unneeded and missing. You have to manually rename them.

 

 

 

More information about congo.... the sounds have been re-recorded correctly this time, and named to fit with this version of mame. Thanks to dphower, Gyrovision and the MAME team!
