Source Changes

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

Converted LR35902 cpu core to c++. [Wilbert Pol]

 

Fixed swapped romsets between doncdoon and kurufev [Angelo Salese]

 

SDL: support unofficial (not in the OSD class) num_processors API used by chdman. Allows chdman to use multiple cores/processors on non-Windows. [R. Belmont]

 

naomi: corrected PIC number information for starseek [Guru]

 

CPS-1 update [Team CPS-1]:

* Added some notes and done some documentation fixes.

* Expanded and updated games table in video\cps1.c

* Removed the notes about LW-13.10D ROM in forgottnu and RT_23.13B ROM in wonder3, since current dumps are confirmed as good.

* Fixed qad labels and confirmed pcb infos.

* Fixed ROMs labels, added pcb locations and a better documentation

about sub-revisions. Renamed some romsets to use revision codes.

 

Fix for potential driver conflicts with same named machine states

between MAME and MESS. [David Haywood]

 

megatech.c: Implemented outputs for the time limit alarm sound and

screen flash. [bdam]

 

undrfire.c: Implement outputs for undrfire and cbombers. Lamps, gun

recoil, and wheel vibration are implemented. [bdam]

 

Fixed colors in senjyo.c driver (mostly noticeable with senjyo

background colors) [Tsuyoshi Hasegawa]

 

68k: add 68301/68307 aliases for better documentation [David Haywood]

 

ins8250 - Support for the 16550 fifo [Carl]

 

viper: Added main board DS2430 eeprom and code1d dongle eeprom. [Guru]

 

viper: Fixed some IDE parameters to allow HDD games to boot again.

[Ville Linde]

 

Various improvements to Popo Bear, game is somehow playable with

various video and sound glitches [Angelo Salese]

 

namcos23: Enable work queues for a substantial framerate boost in 3D

scenes [O. Galibert]

 

Added redumped Area 51: Site 4 CHD (a51site4a). [ninjakid]

 

bfm_sc1.c: [James Wallace]

* First pass of splitting out *all* of Scorpion 1 roms into clones so

that proper testing can begin.

* Identified some duplicates and 'premerged' versions of split ROM

files. So while there are more 'games', the number of ROMs has

actually decreased.

 

m6502.c: Fixed OAL illegal m6502 instruction to pass Acid5200 test.

[Wilbert Pol]

 

Formalized the Votrax SC-01 device. Implemented the full set of

digital logic from the patent, including the timing circuit,

transition circuit, glottal generator, and noise source. Some unknowns

still exist with regards to clocking, due to contradictory statements

in the patent, but as it stands now, all parameters are fetched and

processed, phonemes are requested, and in theory all that remains is

for someone with analog sound experience to simulate the filters on

the output. For now, you just get the raw glottal pulse mixed with the

noise signal based on the vocal and fricative amplitudes, which is

enough to show progress, but hardly a pleasing result just yet.

[Aaron Giles, Lord Nightmare, Olivier Galibert]

 

Converted gottlieb r1 and r2 sound boards into full-on devices, using

the recently-added mixer interface. All sound outputs are redirected

to the new sound device itself, and then the consuming driver can

route the new sound device's outputs as appropriate. The Votrax chip

has been hooked up properly, with a crude guess at the variable

clocking. Current Votrax emulation is turned off, but it can be

enabled by changing USE_FAKE_VOTRAX to 0 in gottlieb.h. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added Driver display in both the game select UI as well as the

gameinfo screens which should prove helpful. [Tafoid]

 

chdman: Correct processing of GDI files, add ability to extractcd to

.gdi, verified perfect checksum round-tripping on .GDI files.

[R. Belmont]

 

Rework libflac to play nicer with MAME's build system; should fix

compile problems on certain configurations based on suggestions by

Tsuruchiyo Nitro [R. Belmont]

 

k054539: Modernize [O. Galibert]

 

PowerPC: properly mirror SO bit from XER into CR0 [R. Belmont]

 

ioport: Make the compile time less insane [O. Galibert]

 

ioport: Support obsolete gcc versions [O. Galibert]

 

When copying CHDs, preserve the flag that indicates whether the

metadata is included in the SHA1. When creating LD CHDs, don't use a

checksum on the AVLD metadata, like we did before. Fixes recompression

of laserdisc CHDs. [Aaron Giles]

 

Refactored YM3526 to use devcb. [Curt Coder]

 

Create new devices buffered_spriteram_device, which manage buffered

spriteram. Removed core support for legacy buffered spriteram, and

updated all drivers to use the new devices instead. [Aaron Giles]

 

Removed required/optional_shared_size helpers. Instead the existing

required/optional_shared_ptr helpers now have a bytes() method that

can be used to query the size of the shared region. [Aaron Giles]

 

ymf271: Timer setup fix [trap15]

 

votrax: Analog path [O. Galibert]

 

tms57002: Modernize [O. Galibert]

 

Various i386, x87 and PIC fixes. [Carl]

 

neodrvr.c: Add program roms to Metal Slug 5 PCB. [Guru]

 

Neo-Geo documentation update [Johnboy]:

* Added SNK development boards

* Updated MVS motherboard list

* Updated sengoku2, zupapa, mslug, neodrift, ctomaday, pbobbl2n and

jockeygp chip info

* Added correct product ID codes for vliner and jockeygp

* Updated \hash\neogeo.xml accordingly

 

Fix for aleck64 crash on exit [Oliver Stoneberg]

 

dec8.c improvements [stephh] :

* lastmisn*, shackled, breywood, gondo, makyosen, garyoret, ghostb*,

meikyuh*, csilver*, oscar*, srdarwin*, cobracom* : fixed Dip

Switches and Inputs (after verification of the M6809/HD6309 code);

coinage for games without real MCU is still a guess though

* lastmisn*, csilver*, srdarwin* : added coinage simulation based on

the Dip Switches

* garyoret : use fake MCU based on 'gondo' instead of simulating it

 

PowerPC: Corrected DIVW divide-by-zero crashes, flags, and corner-case results [R. Belmont]
