MAME 079u2 and u3 roms released!!!

[ForceX]

The romfiles for MAME 079u2 and u3 roms have been released (MAME 079u3 are supposed to be kept private for awhile but I have my contacts and I don't give a f&^k about hoarding roms)

 

MAME 79u2 includes some NeoGeo games that have been redumped because the original releases were found to be incorrect.

 

You can download them from:-

 

MAME 079u2 (This link will take you to a website where you can download the roms)

 

MAME 079u3

 

Note:- To Download The MAME 079u3 Roms You Must Right Mouse Click On The Link And Select Save Target As

 

I hope you all enjoy

Timer System Update [Aaron Giles]

 

The timer system is now integer-based instead of floating-point based. It requires

64-bit ints. I've defined a new type 'mame_time' which is a 96-bit time value.

There are 32 bits for counting full seconds, and 64 bits for counting subseconds.

This type is used extensively in the core timer system and the CPU scheduler.

 

The accuracy of the new system is down to 1 attosecond (10^-18 seconds).

This may seem excessive, but for a 100MHz CPU, each clock cycle is 10^10

attoseconds. That works nicely because 100MHz divides evenly. For a 96MHz

CPU, each clock cycle is 1.041666667 * 10^10 attoseconds. Rounding, we lose

1/3 of an attosecond per cycle in error. Multiply that error by 96000000 and

you end up with an error of 32000000 attoseconds. Fortunately, that's only

0.032ns, but if I had much less accuracy than this, the errors would start

to add up in a more significant way.

 

All the existing APIs are still around, and doubles can still be passed as

arguments. But they are all immediately connverted to 'mame_time' values for

processing.

 

The old system had some drifting errors due to FP rounding which are gone

now.

 

 

 

Fixed Unix compile (renamed rand_r in namconb1 driver) [R.Belmont]

 

Misc Fixes [Nathan Woods]

src/cpuintrf.c:

src/cpuintrf.h:

- Fixups for the CP1610 core

- Fixed the declaration of activecpu_set_irq_callback()

 

src/mame.c:

- Added a new consistency check for drivers that use non-existent

CPU cores

 

src/machine/snes.c:

src/includes/snes.c:

- Refactored to remove MESS specific code

 

src/machine/idectrl.c:

src/machine/idectrl.h:

- Added ide_bus_0_r() call to access the bus directly

 

src/cpu/z80/z80.c:

- This patch changes the Z80 CPU core to set the Z80 cycle tables to

their defaults on startup. This removes any need for drivers to reset

the Z80 cycle tables back to their defaults on exit.

General Source Changes

Big 80s Namco Update [Nicola Salmoria]

 

this affects the first Namco games that used custom I/O chips.

- these files are no longer needed and should be removed: drivers/bosco.c,

drivers/xevious.c, drivers/digdug.c, machine/digdug.c, machine/galaga.c,

machine/bosco.c, machine/polepos.c, sndhrdw/bosco.c

- added three new sound chips: NAMCO_15XX, NAMCO_52XX, NAMCO_54XX, and

changed drivers to use them (NAMCO_54XX is just a placeholder playing

samples, until the chip is reverse engineered).

- MAME testers bugs fixed: digdug063gre, galaga057gre, bosco071u2gre,

poleposc059gra

- added EAROM support to digdug

- fixed the polepos2 title screen which had been broken since day 1, strange

that nobody noticed.

- fixed various mistakes in the polepos ROM loading (one missing speech ROM

in polepos, polepos2 was using the wrong engine sound ROMs (it's turbo!),

added missing vertical scaling PROMs).

- extensive documentation of ROM names and placement, and differences

between Namco and licensed versions.

- converted all drivers to tilemaps, and made gfx emulation more accurate

according to schematics

- polepos sprite zooming should now be closer to the hardware.

- IP_KEY_PREVIOUS and IP_JOY_PREVIOUS are no longer used by any driver: they

may be removed from the core.

- support for start lamps, coin counters and coin lockout (all

internallyhandled by the custom I/O chip)

- toggling the test switch while the game is running enters test mode

without need to manually reset.

- found and documented test mode Easter eggs in all games except Xevious.

- bosconian now uses a different sound PROM, which seems more correct.

- galaga uses better dumps of the PROMs, with the unused top 4 bits set to

0.

- correct handling of 52XX sample start/end pointers in ROM.

- better emulation of 50XX custom, no more need for hacks in bosconian.

- swapped digdug and digdugb, the main set should be the newer one.

- removed these galaga clones: nebulbee (copyright/name change), galagab2

(mix 'n match of ROMs from other sets), galaga84 (copyright/gfx change),

galagads (1-byte hack to get fast shoot,

reproducible with this line in cheat.dat:

galaga:1:070D:0D:100:Fast Shoot)

- added Galaga rev. B, which is now the main set, renamed the other galagao.

- added galagamk, a different Midway version.

- removed various bad dumps from polepos2b and poleps2c, they turned out to

be the same version so poleps2c is removed.

- drivers/locomotn.c is no longer needed and should be removed

- converted to tilemaps, consolidated as much as I could

- fixed: jungler37b3gre

- correct tile/sprite priority handling (also in Bosconian)

- documented the Easter egg in Rally X

- added starfield in Tactician

- fixed the RC filter control in the games with Konami sound

 

Big Namco NB1 update [Phil Stroffolino]

Various improvements for System NB emulation, including:

- new driver: Greatest Slugger '93 (Japan)

- hardware shadow support (used heavily in Greatest Slugger)

- dedicated random number generator chip

- sprite stretch glitch (affects Outfoxies intro)

- tilemap tile banking feature (used by Mach Breakers)

- removed several game-specific hacks; now uses dedicated CPU registers

for interrupts

- preliminary support for screen blanking (hides garbage in Outfoxies)

- proper POSIRQ handling, for scanline effects. Fixes the water

effects in Outfoxies. This same feature needs to be folded into System

2 emulation, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

- various Mach Breaker-specific hacks for interpretting the ROZ layer

registers; these aren't yet fully understood. In particular, the

"Monster Pull" stage is missing a "3d floor."

 

Changes should fix mametesters bugs:

machbrkr068gre, nebulray066gre, ptblank056gre, sws9637b16yel

Once they are I'll share with everyone

[Agozer]

God damn james....You could have made a link to the whatsnew.txt instead of posting that long-ass list. No, just kidding friend, it's cool.

i just used clrmame and it fixed the changed neogeo roms so i do not need to download them.
