Specific Contributions

The known contributions for this version are, in the order specified in the whatsnew:

  • Adam Bousley fixed the road graphics, fixed the rest of the missing gfx, added collision detection, and added save states to the changela driver. Also fixed the colors.
  • Zsolt Vasvari changed all drivers to use the mame_timer_* calls. Deprecated the old double-based timer calls.
  • Zsolt Vasvari made changes the last few instances of rand() to mame_rand() and added a #define to prevent it from being used again.
  • Dave Dribin made many of the static info_list*() functions in clifront.c public.
  • Atari Ace fixed regression crashes in maxaflex.c, megadriv.c, monzagp.c, tetriunk.c, and gticlub.c.
  • Wilbert Pol made some more TIA graphics and sound improvements:
    • INPT4 and INPT5 are now read when needed instead of by a timed function. This removes the need for the tia_init_pal function.
    • Improved handling of the HMOVE functionality
    • Added code to reduce the flickering caused by some Atari 2600 games
    • Improved the sound poly generation.
    • Improved the handling of POLY5_DIV3 sound mode.
  • Phil Stroffolino updated the djboy driver:
    • support for djboyj; same MCU, but ROM banking bits need to be XOR'd
    • fixed state handling for game over/win transitions
    • fixes for dipswitches
    • added coinage support
  • Atari Ace fixed a few places where driver code was not properly hooked up. Most cases were benign, but in a couple of instances, save state support was disconnected, and in one case it fixes a potential crash.
  • couriersud improved the frameskip behavior in the Gaelco 3d driver.
  • Atari Ace fixed a palette regression in warpwarp/geebee.
  • smf added support to chdman to cope with toc files created with cue2toc.
  • David Haywood and ElSemi made CPS3 updates:
    • Corrected Clock speed, used idle skipping instead of reducing the clock speed.
    • Optimized some GFX functions. It now only decodes RAM based tiles when it needs to draw them, not every single time the data changes
    • Added support for CD flashing
    • Added support for alternate BIOS sets
    • Changed code to use a custom render function
  • robiza found a number of additional encrypted opcodes for gussun.
  • Atari Ace simplified the internal handling of BIOS sets. Instead of there being an extra structure, the BIOS information is now embedded in the ROM definition for each BIOS.
  • R. Belmont fixed a crash in evilngt due to missing CD image.
  • R. Belmont fixed a crash in cfarm/cclown due to out-of-bounds parameter.
  • R. Belmont added stricter checking in cdrom.c to prevent crashes in games when no CD-ROM is present.
  • couriersud fixed regressions in dkongjr and pestplce due to incorrect memory map and rendering too many sprites.
  • Mike Haaland hooked up P1 joystick inputs for P2 in Upright mode in a number of black & white 8080 games. Removed cocktail settings for games where it is not appropriate. Enabled dual player game in spclaser.
  • Oliver Stoneberg made x64 compilation fixes:
    • some VS2005 x64 warning fixes
    • enables the x64 porting warnings in VS2005
    • adds win_create_window_ex_utf8() to get rid of some tstring_from_utf8() usage
    • removed win_extract_icon_utf8()
  • James Wallace and Atari Ace synchronized MAME and AGEMAME versions of the MPU4 code. Improved Connect4 layout. Simplified much of the code.
  • Wilbert Pol improved the 6532riot timer implementation. Implemented irq callback support.
  • Wilbert Pol made updates to the minx CPU core:
    • Fixed TEST (94,95,96, and 97) instructions.
    • Fixed 2 MOV instructions (BE and BF).
    • Fixed one AND instruction (DC).
  • Wilbert Pol simplified the interrupt handling in the z80gb core.
  • couriersud fixed the behavior of the RC filter in ddrible and ironhors.
