Source Changes

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

Made some minor changes in the inline code. The result of atomic_add32 isn't used a lot of the time, so the final addition was brought out to allow it to be optimized away. Removed the unnecessary delta argument from atomic_increment32 and atomic_decrement32 in eminline.h, and added implementations. Changed the condition for using rgbsse.h to include 32-bit platforms with SSE enabled. [Vas Crabb]

 

Did a major clean-up of the input ports in ssv.c. Brought out the common joystick, mahjong and quiz input setups, and then used PORT_INCLUDE to pull them in when needed. Also brought out the common coinage settings, to avoid needless repetition. [Vas Crabb]

 

Analyzed all driver interfaces (DRIVER_INIT, READ8_HANDLER, etc.) to determine which ones should be made static and properly tagged them all to reduce global namespace pollution. Some cases turned out to be dead code, which was also properly tagged. [Atari Ace]

 

Updated the Tube Panic driver, fixing the background scroll-in (it's smooth again now). The problem was caused by wrong synchronization between main and slave CPUs. Also modified the video driver to be scanline accurate and implemented more accurate interrupt handling. [Jarek Burczynski]

 

Altered TTL low high levels in res_net.c. This will broaden the color range a bit. Since the results are normalized, there is only a limited effect visible. [couriersud]

 

Cleaned up inputs and added dip locations in ms32.c. Also fixed dips in "47pie2" and "akiss". [sonikos]

 

Fixed bug that caused incorrect input to be read if multiple inputs were mapped to the same mouse input under Windows. [Nathan Woods]

 

Fixed a bug in the i8051 core that improperly fired the Timer2 interrupt when it wasn't enabled. [Jim Stolis]

 

Updates to the peplus driver: [Jim Stolis]

* Added lightpen support

* Added PE+ Superboard support

* Added ABC coin optics support

* Added full I2C eeprom support

* Added NVRAM support

* Corrected door closure issues

* Removed most memory hacks

* Consolidated machines and inputs

* New layout for pepp0158

 

Split up the MPU4 driver into a core and driver set up a la NeoGeo. Also made some timer fixes, and added some new ROMs added. [James Wallace]

 

Fixed problems introduced when the junofrst blitter code was simplified. [Chris Hardy]

 

American Poker II major rewrite: [Roberto Fresca]

- Properly dervied clocks from crystals

- Reworked TILE_GET_INFO to handle the proper tiles/color codes.

- Fixed interrupts (NMI).

- Corrected AY8910 frequency to 1.5 MHz to match the real thing.

- Arranged the AY8910 volume in all games avoiding clips.

- Corrected the screen visible area.

- Added NVRAM support.

- Reworked the memory map, mapping all the hardware I/O ports.

- Reworked the Inputs for all sets.

- Added implementation of Operator and Supervisor Keys.

- Fixed some timing troubles.

- Added partial DIP switch support with diplocations to all sets.

- Removed the hack in DRIVER_INIT.

- Hooked write handlers for output ports.

- Added watchdog routines.

- Dumped, hooked, wired and decoded the color PROM in all sets.

- Modified the refresh rate according to hardware measurements.

- Wired the lamps for all sets. Created their respective layouts.

- Splitted the driver to driver/video.

- Other minor fixes.

 

SCSP fixes: [kingshriek]

* Fixed DECAY1 envelope state to not exit immediately

* Improved support for LPSLNK and SBCTL

* Fixed panning calculation bug

* Fixed case where key-rate scaling is off

 

Added support for indicating that DIP switches are reversed in the DIP locations view. [Vas Crabb]

 

Added DIP locations for Midway Tron and the Nintendo Donkey Kong series (dkong.c). [Vas Crabb]

 

Added an Altivec/VMX implementation of the RGB utilities for our friends with G4, G5 and POWER5 CPUs (rgbvmx.h) and added rgbint_bilinear_filter and rgbaint_bilinear_filter to rgbsse.h (based on rgb_bilinear_filter/rgba_bilinear_filter) for completeness, as these functions exist in rgbgen.h. [Vas Crabb]

 

Updated model2.c, taitojc.c, and gticlub.c to use the new polygon routines. Deprecated the old poly.c and renamed polynew.* to poly.*. [Aaron Giles]

 

Unified poly.c callbacks so that tri and quad callbacks work the same way. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed display of floating point TMS32031 registers in the debugger. [Aaron Giles]

 

Fixed TMS32031 ABSF opcode to work as documented and not produce a proper negative. [Aaron Giles]
