Significant Contributions
The known contributions for this version are, in the order specified in the whatsnew:
- Ville Linde improved the K001604 ROZ layer emulation. Also added analog controls for GTI Club.
- Zsolt Vasvari added the timing parameters for the Exidy 6502 driver from the schematics, and updated a number of other drivers to use the newer timing routines.
- Zsolt Vasvari submitted updates for the Exidy 440 driver:
- added video timing from schematics
- added the 9 timing PROMs to the ROMsets
- all the games appear to use the same timing PROMs with the exception of Top Secret, which sets the VBLANK 4 pixels earlier. This fixes the game graphics, but cuts of the very bottom row of the year display on the title screen. It's most likely a real issue in the game, as tweaking the behavior adds garbage pixels to all the other games.
- Zsolt Vasvari updated the itech32 driver to configure video timing dynamically according to how the chip is programmed.
- Ville Linde, Ernesto Corvi, and ElSemi hooked up the new TGP core to the Model 2 driver, mapped the TGP data ROMs properly, and updated the TGP core to the latest information.
- Zsolt Vasvari fixed an irobot crash introduced in the last timing update.
- R. Belmont submitted some ES5503 updates:
- Major fixes to IRQ semantics and end-of-sample handling
- Sample memory now configurable
- Added state save support
- Calculates output rate properly based on the input clock
- Hooked up properly to mquake
- Ville Linde added analog controls for GTI Club.
- R. Belmont fixed crashes in some games using the SCSP.
- David Haywood enabled all CPUs by default, which helps ensure that even unused CPUs get updated with core changes, etc.
