Specific Contributions

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

  • Krick added some more fixes for the DTD in the -listxml output.

  • Aaron Giles added more Crystal Castles tweaks:
    • Connected EAROM correctly (passes POST now)
    • Added a guess for what the "POTATO" chip does. If you're a CC fan report to MAMETesters how MAME looks compared to the arcade when the screen scrolls up inbetween level 4 and 5.
  • Aaron Giles rewrote Cloud 9 driver to mimic the Crystal Castles driver since it is obviously an early version of the same hardware:
    • Implemented video RAM banking correctly based on tracing out a Firebeast PCB, which appears to be identical
    • Traced out color mapping and implemented correctly
    • Reduced EAROM down to 4 bits
