Specific Contributions

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

• Curt Coder made additional CDP1802 updates, taken from MESS.

• Tomasz Slanina fixed colors in One + Two.

• Ville Linde made the PowerPC dynarec options runtime configurable.

• couriersud added save state support to the hatris/pipedrm driver.

• Tormod Tjaberg corrected the Moustache Boy main cpu interrupt rate, main cpu clock freq, and screen refresh rate according to measurements on a real PCB.

• Brian Troha separated the DECO and Mitchell games in the simpl156 driver and added more extensive documentation.

• Ville Linde fixed the analog controls in Solar Assault.

• Nathan Woods Changed the options code so that ranges are specified on the option_entry structure, and enforced when option values are changed.

• Ville Linde further improved the ROZ layer emulation in the K001604.

• Ville Linde updated the Konami ZR107 driver:
  • Fixed sound hardware check in Winding Heat
  • Changed to use the correct tilemap chip type
  • Hooked up analog controls
  • Fixed texture rom loading and texture decoding
  • Improved the 2D tilemaps

• Nathan Woods introduced a mame_options_exit() call to complement mame_options_init().

• Nathan Woods added a mame_fopen_options() call, similar to mame_fopen() but with the ability to specify a core_options object to use.

• Lord Nightmare improved the noise emulation in the SN76496 emulator. Added several variants which differ based on the noise generator and other parameters.

• Zsolt Vasvari changed all plot_pixel and read_pixel calls to BITMAP_ADDRXX macros. Removed the now-obsolete functions.

• Aaron Giles added support for aliasing sound types. This allows minor variants in sound cores to share the same fundamental "type" so that the same sndti_* functions can be used regardless of the subtype.

• Aaron Giles changed the location of save state files. Now they are placed in the <savestate>/<gamename> directory. Auto-generated save state files have the name "auto.sta". All other save state files are named <slot>.sta.
