Specific Contributions

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

• Nathan Woods updated the Intel i386/i486/Pentium cores:

  • Implemented Pentium opcode CMPXCHG8B
  • Fixed XADD, and added support for the 8 and 16 bit variants

• Tomasz Slanina fixed Top Shooter sprites. Game still not playable.

• Nathan Woods changed the debug view property code to pass property values as unions rather than void pointers, in order to appease compilers that whine about strict aliasing.

• Nathan Woods fixed a resource allocation issue with bitmaps in the Windows code and MESS.

• Atari Ace removed a number of unnecessary video_stop and machine_stop routines.

• Oliver Stoneberg converted a few more exit() calls to osd_die().

• Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed the Hyperstone core:
  • Removed nested delays
  • Don't allow software opcodes to be executed in a delay slot

• Derrick Renaud added/changed the following discrete modules:
  • DISCRETE_WAVELOG - easy way to log discrete nodes as a .wav file to compare against scope waveforms.
  • DISCRETE_OUTPUT - added a final gain parameter to get it to 16 bit wav level. (The old VOL setting was disabled after the last sound re-write.)

• David Haywood fixed graphics banking in 8751-based Altered Beast sets.

• Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed some bad gfx in kdynastg when levels start.

• Nicola Salmoria decrypted the graphics in Darkmist and Panic Road.

• Aaron Giles added stream_set_sample_rate() call, and converted the TMS5110, TMS5220, ES5505/6, BSMT2000, AY8910, POKEY, TIA, Sega PCM/Multi-PCM, SN76496, OKIM6295, and YMZ280B sound cores to output at their native sample rates, allowing the core sound system to perform over/re-sampling to the output rate.
