0.80

 

General Source Changes

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

 

Large Namco Update [Nicola Salmoria]

- pacland: fixed sprite RAM, it was too big and included normal program RAM, causing sprites

  to be drawn twice.

- pacland: fixed irq enable

- pacland: fixed tilemap scroll offsets and sprite positions

- pacland: accurate emulation of tile/sprite priority (including fix of bugs introduced when

  the driver was converted to tilemaps) and sprite visibility area

- pacland36b16 is not a bug - colors match the real game

- added SOUND_NAMCO_CUS30 for better documentation (alias for the standard SOUND_NAMCO)

- drgnbstr36rc2gre

- skykidd works with a patch (a dump of the CUS60A internal ROM is needed to do without the

  patch)

- metrocross: fixed irq enable, this fixes inputs in service mode

- baraduke060gre

- baraduke36rc2gre, it is improved, there are still gaps left but this is correct behaviour

  verified on the real board

- baraduke, system86: understood how sprite RAM buffering works, this fixes sprite lag but

  causes a glitch in rthunder (which might be correct behaviour)

- system86: totally rewritten the 63701X emulation and moved it to a separate module.  Fixed

  silence compression, this improves quality in some samples; supported volume control.

  -genpeitd067gre

- rthundro37b14red I think is fixed; but the game still sometimes crashes when you die

- rthunder, genpetid: fixed watchdog emulation, this allows entering service mode without

  resetting

 

Various ST-V Improvements (brightness controls) [Angelo Salese]

 

Various Hyperstone core improvements [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Misc Fixes [Nathan Woods]

src/cpu/hd6309/6309ops.c:

- Fixed the ABCD opcode

 

src/sndintrf.c:

- Fixed a small typo in the DMADAC interface line

 

src/sound/tms5220.c:

- Added a security margin in the estimate of the delay for speech

synthesis ready line to come low (needed for a MESS side bug fix)

 

src/chdman.c:

- Added some completion messages, and fixed the code that was

falsely assuming that progress() was a function pointer

 

src/windows/window.c:

src/windows/window.h:

- Changed video_window_proc() to win_video_window_proc() and made

non-static so that MESS's window proc can call it.

- Changed win_init_window() to use MESS's window proc (within #ifdef

MESS of course)

- Added a win_suspend_directx global variable to temporarily turn

off DirectX usage (used in MESS)

- Added a few minor MESS specific #ifdefs

 

src/rules.mak:

src/cpuintrf.c:

- Added an entry for the TMS99100 processor

 

src/cpuexec.c:

src/cpuexec.h:

- Introduces cpu_getscanlinetime_mt() and

cpu_getscanlineperiod_mt(); variants on their namesake calls except they

return mame_time instead of double

 

Improved 053260 and NES APU emulation [Oliver Achten]

 

Various Gaelco3D Improvements [Aaron Giles]

TMS32010 CPU core

- Added internal Data memory map

- Fixed Overflow on the ADDH instruction

 

Twin Cobra / Wardner

- Converted to Tilemaps

- Corrected Savestate setup

- Little cleanups to the Machine code

- Adjustments for TMS32010 internal data map

 

Toaplan1

- Corrected Savestate setup

- Adjustments for TMS32010 internal data map

 

HardDrivin

- Adjustments for TMS32010 internal data map

 

Fixed Vector clipping bug in mhavoc [Alex Eddy]

 

Fixed some GCC warnings [Lawrence Gold]

src/vidhrdw/rallyx.c: In function `plot_star':

src/vidhrdw/rallyx.c:395: warning: ISO C89 forbids mixed declarations

and code

 

src/vidhrdw/ksayakyu.c: In function `draw_sprites':

and code

 

src/drivers/madalien.c: In function `video_start_madalien':

src/drivers/madalien.c:273: warning: ISO C89 forbids mixed declarations

and code

 

src/machine/am53cf96.c:46: warning: comma at end of enumerator list

 

src/drivers/vmetal.c: In function `varia_drawsprites':

src/drivers/vmetal.c:124: warning: ISO C89 forbids mixed declarations

and code

 

Discrete Sound Updates [Derrick Renaud]

 

Discrete Sound Changes

======================

* fixed/added more documentation of functions at top of discrete.h

* DISCRETE_555_ASTABLE - changed to use common options with DISCRETE_555_CC.

* DISCRETE_TRANSFORMx - fixed bug that preformed math in the wrong order.

Also added more math functions.

 

New Discrete Modules Added

==========================

* DISCRETE_555_CC - Constant Current based 555 VCO with 8 main configurations,

that automatically configure from components used.

* DISCRETE_566 - NE566 simulation.

* DISCRETE_COMP_ADDER - Multiple parallel capacitor/resistor circuit.

* DISCRETE_DAC_R1 - R1 Ladder DAC that automatically configures from

components used.

* DISCRETE_MIXERx - Resistor/Op Amp mixer stage with filtering that calulates

proper gains & filtering. It automatically configure from components used.

* DISCRETE_SCHMITT_OSCILLATOR - VCO based on a Schmitt Inverter.

 

Game Driver Changes

===================

* poolshrk - Converted to new component value only code.

* firetrk, montecar, superbug - Converted to new component value only code.

Pulled discrete code out and put in sndhrdw\ataridis.c.  montecar still needs

filtering on crash sound.

* atarifb, canyon & skydiver - minor changes to work with new code.

* triplhnt - added component value discrete sound, but have not figured out

Shot and Bear Roar video memory locations.  These are needed to make sound

effects work.

 

 

New Games supported or promoted from GAME_NOT_WORKING status:

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

 

Radikal Bikers [Aaron Giles]

Surf Planet [Aaron Giles]

 

Wiggie Waggie [David Haywood]

 

Zintrick (hack / bootleg)

This was thought to be a prototype but actually appears to be a from

        an unofficial bootleg made from the CD version (see notes in driver),

supported for reference incase a real prototype shows up one day.

 

New Non-Working games / clones supported

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

 

Lethal Enforcers [R.Belmont]

Hardware is an ugly kludge with an 8-bit CPU using 16-bit video chips, as a result

        there is a lot of strange banking going on making it very difficult to emulate.

[Diso]

dude, post this is news or mame forums

 

Oh well

Gone

[ForceX]

Sorry about that Disoblige....I'll remember for next time.

[SuperAntFunk]

which one can i download so i dont have to run it through command prompt

[Gryph]

You'll have to wait for that. It's not out yet.

[SuperAntFunk]

aw well no biggie
