Source Changes

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

Fixed flags access in the i286 core. [barry Rodewald]

 

Updated MC146818 module to use new core date/time routines. [Nathan Woods]

 

Cleaned up disassemblers to remove stubs and ensure the disassemblers are not referenced except in debug builds. [Nathan Woods]

 

Added support for using CHDs to decrypt CPS2 games. This code is disabled for the moment, but will be enabled in the future. Only a handful of games have complete tables so far. These tables are huge (~4GB) and uncompressable until the encryption algorithm is understood. [David Haywood]

 

Fixed bug in the debugger that caused watchpoints to not be active until the next context switch. [smf]

 

Cleaned up the input definitions for n-way joysticks so they are more explicit. Added concept of a "16-way" joystick, which is a joystick that doesn't prevent simultaneous opposing directions from bring reported. [smf]

 

Major System 573 update: [smf]

* fixed PSX SIO control register behavior

* implemented several SCSI CD commands: START/STOP UNIT, PAUSE/RESUME, READ SUB-CHANNEL, READ TOC

Fixed upside down service mode in the commando.c driver. [Canim]

 

Added support for the Triple Hunt 8-track audio. [Derrick Renaud]

 

Galaxian/Scramble driver reorganization: [Atari Ace]

* machine/scramble.c is broken up into two files, machine/galaxian.c and machine/scramble.c

* drivers/amidar.c, drivers/frogger.c, drivers/scobra.c get copies of some of the data structures they shared from other drivers

* galaxian_base is made static and uses outside of the main driver were rewritten

* cclimber_decode code from drivers/cclimber.c was separated into its own machine/cclimber.c file to allow mshuttle to share it without taking on other dependencies

 

Added missing x-flipping support in Major Havoc. [Mathis Rosenhauer]

 

Made some improvements to trivia madness driver. There still is something wrong in the question roms banking. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

* vdp1: added shading for sprites (used by znpwfv, cotton, others)

* vdp1: fixed sprite clipping (fixes incorrect sprites in znpwfv)

* vdp1: fixed transparency on colour lookup table sprites (fixes bad sprites in znpwfv)

* vdp2: fixed caching of RGB layer (fixes bad backgrounds on bossesin rsgun)

* vdp2: added additive blending for tilemaps and sprites (rsgun)

* vdp2: added vertical line scroll and linezoom (fixes diehard logo)

* stv: improved speedups for diehard

* stv: fixed speedups for znpwfv

* stv: added preliminary save state support

 

Significant cleanup of chd.c: [Aaron Giles]

* got rid of the horrible last_error concept; now all routines return an error directly

* fixed several issues in managing metadata

* changed compression and verification routines to be client-driven rather than monolithic

* changed internal codec usage to be more flexible

* altered chdman and MAME to use the new interfaces
