Specific Contributions

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

  • Olivier Galibert added a new option -update_in_pause which enables updating the screen bitmap while the game is paused. This is useful for debuggin in some scenarios (and gets in the way in others).
  • Dirk Best added the new VIDEO_TYPE_NONE to indicate that there is no screen, and fixed internal UI displays to ignore resolution parameters if it is specified.
  • Atari Ace added missing consts to the files in the emu, lib, and osd directories.
  • Atari Ace updated drivers to use const structs and arrays where possible.
  • Sonikos made shisen improvements:
    • added dips location
    • added dips condition
    • remove fake dips coinage
    • fix tow dips in matchit
  • Sonikos updated inputs in qrouka to support the 3rd and 4th stick.
  • Nathan Woods fixed a crash in mngwrite if the game does not have a palette.
  • kingshriek made SCSP updates:
    • Added effect-in mixer
    • Added DSP floating-point support
    • Added bounds check to the DECAY1 EG output
    • Fixed the saw PLFO waveform
    • Fixed loop points so loops no longer go out of tune/include garbage samples
  • Mathis Rosenhauer implemented the status flag in the Star Wars matrix processor, which affects gameplay speed.
  • Phillip Bennett changed M37710 CPU to use the CPU clock for its internal timer rather than a hard-coded value. Fixes tempo in Namco NA-1 games.
