  • O. Galibert updated the disound interface: Don't crash on state load when the mixer is disabled by lack of inputs (misconfiguration or missing samples).
  • Angelo Salese updated z80.cpp: Added a debug mechanism for /WAIT pin assertion mechanism (enable with STALLS_ON_WAIT_ASSERT in CPU core), and hooked it up to Night Gal driver as a quick example.
  • AJR made octal flag part of address_space/address_space_config.
  • coolmod added unknown NAOMI development(?) board BOOT ROM.
  • Ryan Holtz provided significant speed improvements to the BGFX renderer.
  • Ryan Holtz added basic JSON-based single-pass shader effect support to BGFX renderer.
  • Vernimark and Vas Crabb updated catnmous: graphical improvements.
    • Redumped Cat and Mouse colour sprite ROM as the correct size.
    • Implement sprite ROM banking.
    • Improve colour palette using resistor values from board photographs.
  • Vas Crabb updated laserbat: fix inadvertently swapped TMS organ chip clocks (fixes music).
  • Vas Crabb made Zaccaria 1B11107 and 1B11142 boards devices and share common parts.
  • R. Belmont updated apple1: Completely rewrote the driver in modern idioms. All functionality should be the same.
  • Lord Nightmare descrambled the ROM on the Xerox NoteTaker, and mapped it in the correct areas to make it start to boot.
  • Lord Nightmare updated the Xerox NoteTaker driver: Corrected CPU Clock speed, and map at least some of RAM.
  • Nigel Barnes updated electron: Added cassette softlist and implemented BREAK key.
  • Lord Nightmare updated the Xerox NoteTaker driver: Corrected RAM amount. Attached the pic8259 interrupt controller, though no interrupts are attached to that yet. Added documentation of i/o writes during the boot process.
  • Pasky and caius updated vigilant.cpp: Added video timing PROM.
  • Michele Fochi provided a videosnaps patch (additional file to write: gamename.inp.timecode). Added new options:
    • noexit_after_playback (default=no).
    • norecord_input (default=no) Added new UI shortcut to save current timecode (default F12) Translated variable names and comments to english language.
  • Ales Dlabac updated the Sord m5 driver:
    • added support for RAM expansions EM-5,64KBI,64KBF,64KRX.
    • added m5p_brno mod Sord m5+1024kB.
    • ramdisk+cp/m 2 cart slots.
  • Roberto Fresca updated Moon Light (Set 2): Fix the program ROM addressing. This fix the corrupt graphics in the double-Up feature.
  • Angelo Salese found out that the NCS8105 ADCX opcode is actually an ADDX, fixes gfx garbage in nightgal.cpp.
  • Lord Nightmare corrected ROM labels and removed endian-swap during descramble for notetaker in favor of loading ROMs the other way round. Add ROM locations.
  • Lord Nightmare updated the Xerox NoteTaker driver: Implement ROM/RAM overlay as per schematics. Documented Address map and part of I/O map.
  • caius and David Haywood noted that one of the buccaneers proms matches the vigilante video sync prom.
  • Roberto Fresca updated the Moon Light driver: Rearranged and split by program. This generated new sets due to the hidden extra programs in the program ROMs.
  • Lord Nightmare updated the Xerox NoteTaker driver: Added the IO Processor firmware v1.50 as an alt bios after typing it from the assembly source listing on bitsavers. Added two PROMs as NO_DUMP. Updated comments and history a bit, but needs further improvement.

    • Unified logging format in associated devices.
    • Use correct raw video modes.
  • Lord Nightmare updated the Xerox NoteTaker driver: Finished IOCPU memory map documentation. Hooked up the two UARTS. Begin hookup of the screen/CRTC. Fixed an issue with writes to ROM-mapped areas shadowing to RAM. Added 960KHz xtal for the keyboard UART.
  • Lord Nightmare updated the AY-3-1015 UART device: Fixed two swapped pin functions.
