Source Changes

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

Add PCB locations to the rom names for Dream Land (Bubble Bobble

bootleg). [briah Troha]

 

Added preliminary sound to 39in1, still buggy. [MooglyGuy]

 

Hand-tuned BGM tempo in Tryout thanks to a side-by-side reference.

[Angelo Salese]

Shien the Blade Chaser to boot

Patched progolfa rom like progolf. Removed bad dump flag in progolf;

with progolfa you get the same rom error in test mode and progolfa

have different encryption. [robiza]

 

Added a stop4 input to slot default and remapped slot default keys to

better suit Amcoe games. [Fabio Priuli]

 

Updated sfbonus.c to use the new gambling inputs. Fixed many years

and descriptions. Reworked parent/clone relationships so that parent

is the higher revision and/or the Export version. Also, tried to

establish common rules in the choice of the romset names.

[Fabio Priuli]

 

Added default input mappings for Hanafuda games. Updated most of the

Hanafuda games to use them. Like for Mahjong games, keys A->H are used.

"Yes" is mapped to M, "No" is mapped to N. [Fabio Priuli]

 

Add correct color PROM for panther. [Mr. Do, Angelo Salese]

 

Removed fake P3 Start from Nichibutsu mahjong games and properly

called "Credit Clear" that input. Also, added back Bet button in

nb1413m3.c fixing omotesnd. [Fabio Priuli]

 

nmk16.c driver documentation update / clean up: [briah Troha]

- Moved the PCB layout for S.B.S Gomorrah (Bio-Ship Paladin) down by

the game's romdef.

- Added PCB layout for Spectrum 2000 & corrected company name to

YONA Tech

- Added PCB layout for Red Hawk

- Moved decryption routines (if needed) to between the info/PCB

layout header and game romdef.

 

Added the 8751 MCU code to Saigo no Nindou (nspiritj).

[Guru, David Haywood]

 

Implemented preliminary bg map banking in 18 Holes Pro Golf.

[Angelo Salese, Robiza]

 

Fixed a mapping error with Maikobana [bET] (mmaiko) which caused the

NVRAM not to save correctly. [Tafoid]

 

Aristocrat MK-4 HW: Hooked up mc6845, fixed a rom crc in goldenc and

implemented flip y. [Angelo Salese]

 

DIP switch cleanups in gberet, mainevt, ninjakd2, and taito_z.

[kanikani]

 

Added GAME_IMPERFECT_SOUND flag to all sets that use external samples

which were not already flagged for sound. Flagged Speed Freak

(speedfrk) as GAME_SUPPORTED_SAVE to match the rest of the driver.

[Tafoid]

 

SNES video updates: [Fabio Priuli]

* re-enabled video debug functionalities in debug build (to toggle

background layers)

* added proper priority tables for various bg/obj layers

* largely simplified tile and line drawing routines, and fixed small

bits here and there

* further simplification of tile drawing routines

* added palette index to 8bpp tiles (correct color_shift still unsure,

though)

* reworked video drawing routine to simplify the various graphic

mode drawing and to allow proper implementation of priority orders

(especially bg3 priority bit and mode 7 priority order)

* improved mode 7 extbg (still missing mosaic)

* added some more debugging options

* improved Mode 7 math precision (but still some issues remain) and

added a few elements to PPU struct

* implemented Mosaic in Mode 7

* merged OAM functions

* added a few elements to PPU struct (this might be handy if we ever

come to convert SNES PPU to a device)

* fixed Mode 7 shared scrolling/matrix registers

* slightly optimized Mode 7 math (by using Anomie's recursive

formula)

* moved some more register contents to PPU struct

* added PPU1/PPU2 Open Bus support, STAT77/STAT78 registers should be

more accurate (even if still not perfect)

* simplified window masking code and moved some more regs to PPU

struct

 

More NES work: [Robert Bohms]

* Fixed bug in nes_apu that caused errors reading $4015

* Added length counter status bits to $4015

* Fixed 4-screen mirroring (PPU regression)

* Fixed cham24

* Improved Sprite Overflow emulation of NES PPU (this fixes the first

of blargg's Sprite Overflow tests)

 

Added remaining PCB "U" locations to roms that didn't have for

G-Stream G2020. [brian Troha]

 

Atomiswave updates: [R. Belmont, Cah4e3]

- Hooked up flash ROM at 0

- Use proper AW memory map

- Emulate AW ROM board (different from Naomi)

 

Fixed buggy breakpoints in the g65816 cpu core. [Angelo Salese]

 

Fixed Atomiswave COIN ERROR. [Wind]

 

n8080 update [Team Japump!!!]

- corrected ROM names for Space Fever and SF High Splitter

- renamed spacefeva to spacefevo2

- added spacefevo

- added highspltb

 

Updated Sega Hikaru readme [Guru]

 

Discrete sound update: [couriersud]

- Added "abs" function to DISCRETE_TRANSFORM

- Fixed a bug in DISCRETE_RCDISC5

 

Added 1 missing sample to safarir.c [Team Japump!!!]

 

Created discrete sound emulation for galaxian [couriersud]

- Changed all audio related AM_WRITE to AM_DEV_WRITE

- Moved discrete sound related pieces such as initialization into

audio/galaxian.h

- Split some memory maps into sound related and not sound related

parts.

- Added possibility in discrete.h to select hardware (galaxian/moon

cresta) at compile time. This leads to slightly different volume

levels. Hit sound (explosion) has been hacked to increase volume.

Currently, we can not accurately model the switch/opamp filter

circuit.

- Rewrote timer code so that the pitch timer is only used when it

produces audible results.

 

Cojag/jaguar video updates (primarily for MESS) [Robbbert]

* Added variable pixel width.

* Fixed display of screens wider than 360 pixels.

* Enabled use of RGB16.

 

looping: modified the cop420 rom region, fixed mcu rom region in clone

set, added mcu support. [robiza]

 

Redumped bingor2 program roms [Klaus Sommers]

 

Corrected Kamakazi III's dipswitch setting (the same as superg) and

relabeled it a superg hack. Also the dipswitch setting for the Taito

license was the same as superg so I eliminated one. [brian Troha]

 

Improved speaker-toggle emulation with alias filter.

[Anders Hallstrom]

 

NES: Fixed bank switching in multigm3 (broken due to a mistake of

mine when including original Rob Bohms' code). The game still refuses

to work, unfortunately. [Fabio Priuli]

 

vsnes update [Team Japump!!!]

- fixed ROM names

- added vssoccerj

 

ROM name fixes for sicv, sisv, and sisv2 [Team Japump!!!]

Fixed bootleg description inconsistency in goldnpkr.c. [hap]

 

Fixed sprite wrapping in sonson. [hap]

 

Added Intel 4004 CPU core. [Miodrag Milanovic]

 

Converted the tilemap lists to be private information held by the

running_machine instead of global variables. Added new APIs to the

tilemap code to handle the "ALL_TILEMAPS" cases, and removed the

old ALL_TILEMAPS definition. [Atari Ace]

 

Added redumped gfx rom on Shogun Warrior [Guru]

 

Updated romload.c and validity.c to not rely on global variables.

[Atari Ace]

 

Corrected resistor values in Cliff Hanger discrete sound based on

actual PCB values. [Ruben Panossian]

 

Removed DAA tables from the 8085 and Z180 implementations in favor of

just computing the values. Also fixed code in 8085 to prevent

accidental multiple reads due to macro overuse. [hap]

 

Added game time and coinage DIP switches to Space Walk, along with

service mode and test. Also added support for the 2nd controller and

coin counter. Removed GAME_NOT_WORKING as it is working fine. Added

color overlay based on photo. [hap]

 

Added a simple color overlay for Depthcharge based on flyers. [hap]
