Specific Contributions

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

• Aaron Giles and Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed a few more remaining issues from the 0.101u1 update.

• Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed some bad tiles in naname.

• R. Belmont and Kold666 fixed music tempo in T.N.K.3/T.A.N.K.

• Nathan Woods and R. Belmont began adding support for SCRIPTS programs to the 53C810 emulation.

• Ange Albertini and Barry Rodewald fixed inputs in Passing Shot (Japan).

• Pierpaolo Prazzoli added some missing sounds to Wonder Stick and Search Eye.

• Nicola Salmoria fixed a status flag from MCU in Taito SJ games, fixing the last digit of the score in Front Line.

• Ville Linde committed many fixes to the SHARC core and Konami PPC drivers.

• Hans Andersson and Derrick Renaud updated the discrete thump sound in Asteroids to use component values instead of derived equations.

• Pierpaolo Prazzoli added Tilemap0 color banking to esd16.

• Mathias Rosenhauer fixed save/restore of 8253 PIT. Also several updates to Top Gunner:
  • Removed shift register since it just seems to be needed to compensate for different DAC speeds
  • Added 8254 PIT from PC emulation
  • Added state saving

• Olivier Galibert fixed a bug in the PSX GTE flag settings.

• Nathan Woods fixed the 6502 initialization so that all internal states are reset properly.

• Aaron Giles changed the makefile so that debug objects are not compiled on non-debug builds.

• Aaron Giles marked most gfx_layout and gfx_decode structures in the code as const.

• Aaron Giles fixed handling of the FR bit in the Status register on MIPS3. This fixes a few problems in CarnEvil, and probably affects a few other games as well. Also fixed bug where TLB exceptions were not filling in the Context and EntryHi registers correctly.

• Aaron Giles removed ROMREGION_SOUNDONLY. Since -nosound no longer disables sound CPUs or sound cores (and hasn't for a while), failing to load sound ROMs was only leading to crashes.

• Aaron Giles implemented pixel-accurate dithering in the Voodoo emulation.

• Aaron Giles renamed my_stricmp to mame_stricmp, converted all uses of stricmp in the code to call mame_stricmp, and #defined stricmp to something invalid to prevent code from using it in the future.

• William Krick fixed the implementation of mame_stricmp.
