  • Alex Jackson updated the psikyo4 driver: Improve and clean up wavetable ROM banking. The mask ROM tests in hotgm4ev and hotgmcki pass now. loderndf still fails for unknown reasons. Miscellaneous cleanups as well.
  • R. Belmont updated the SDL port: fall through to the baseline Win32 implementations for file, socket, and pty/named pipe I/O.

  • trap15 and David Haywood hooked up support for NMK004 internal rom in MAME, replacing Nicola's old simulation code.
  • trap15 fixed TLCS90 16-bit timers & support NMI in the core.
  • trap15 and David Haywood provided various tweaks and improvements in nmk16.c (timings, sound balance, etc.):
    • US AAF Mustang now has sound / music for the first time.
    • Much better sound / music in the following games Bio-ship Paladin, Vandyke, Black Heart, Acrobat Mission, Koutetsu Yousai Strahl, Thunder Dragon, Hacha Mecha Fighter, Super Spacefortress Macross, GunNail.
  • R. Belmont updated the SDL port: use Windows OSD's font-selection semantics for SDL Windows builds.
  • phulshof updated the softlist code: fixed inconsistent -listsoftware output.
  • Fabio Priuli updated the ui: fixed crash when loading floppies with no parent software from softlist (only via internal File Manager, though).
  • Fabio Priuli added generic cartslot / ROM socket slot device, which offers basic allocation and access handlers, and converted a few drivers to use this instead of code from cartslot.c.
  • Fabio Priuli updated the softlist code: restored the support for loading games from compatible softlists (like gbcolor games in gameboy, and viceversa, msx1 carts in msx2, etc.) by using the syntax mess system -media list:gamename You can now for instance use again "mess gbcolor -cart gameboy:sml" to play "Super Mario Land" with the custom palettes of the Game Boy Color.
  • smf provided NS8250 fixes:
    • Loopback: tx goes high and data is clocked at the correct rate instead of appearing instantly.
    • Modem status register: don't lose track of external signals when starting, resetting, switching loopback off, writing to register.
    • Handshaking: active low for consistency (RS232 port now defaults handshaking lines high and serial mouse dtr/rts handling has been adjusted).
  • Alex Jackson provided memory system and Namco improvements:
    • Explicit regions in address maps (AM_REGION) are now looked up relative to the device rather than as siblings when in an internal address map (similar to devices and shared pointers). Besides being more orthogonal than before, this allows internal ROMs of MCUs and similar devices to be hooked up in a nicer and more foolproof way. Updated the m37710 and m5074x (m6502 derivative) to take advantage of this.
    • Divided the M37702/M37710 into specific models, with each model having its own internal address map containing the correct amounts of internal RAM and ROM.
    • M37702 MCUs found on various Namco PCBs are now all unique devices and have their respective internal ROMs loaded as device ROMs.
  • Guru updated the namcops2: Documentation fixes.
  • Alex Jackson updated addrmap.c: Only install the default device address map if the owner didn't provide one.
  • smf updated the 8250 device: call interrupt callback after clearing internal interrupt state when resetting.
  • Angelo Salese moved protection vectors from hachamfb to hachamf, making the latter to work properly too.
  • Firehawke updated the web UI: allow pasting in text.
  • Peter Ferrie provided Gundam Wing: Endless Duel updates:
    • added additional shared memory block.
    • added protection handlers.
    • corrected reset vector.
    • worked around bad startup.
    • game now boots but doesn't coin up.
  • stephh updated snesb.c: Add coin/DSW inputs to Gundam Wing, game is now playable.
  • Robbbert updated s4.c : fixed sound, 4 games marked as working (Flash, Stellar Wars, TriZone, TimeWarp).
  • stephh updated snesb: Set up dip switches for Gundam Wing.
  • Brian Troha updated peplus.c: Various fixes, all sets should be working now.
  • Firehawke updated the WebUI: clean up and fixed HTML compliance.

  • Mamesick provided blktiger priority fixes.
  • Comboman updated dragrace.c: Added tachometer outputs.
  • Palindrome handcrafted PAL for actual Varth US PCB.
  • R. Belmont and MetalliC updated awboard: add "offset protection" used by some carts. samsptk and kofxi boot now.

  • smf updated the Beatmania IIDX Twinkle hardware: The IDE DMA is now hooked up, but the sound board isn't running well enough yet for it to make a difference. Hooked up the FDC37665GT and HLE the XVD701 and the 68k sound board responses to get most of the games booting. There is no sound and the games all fail with a hdd error when you start a stage. Beatmania IIDX with DDR 2nd Club Version wants the GQ863 hard disk.
  • smf updated the Beatmania IIDX Twinkle hardware: beatmania IIDX Substream with DDR 2nd Club Version 2 wants the harddisk from beatmania IIDX Substream. Added missing 3rd & 6th style CD images & replaced 5th style images.
  • Carl updated the upd7220 device: add Bresenham arc and complete char drawing.
  • Alex Jackson updated the m68000 core: add missing item to save state.

  • David Haywood refactored legionna.c COP code to use new Raiden II implementation fixing several bugs along the way.
  • David Haywood tweaked Raiden II collision detection based on user feedback citing specific bullet patterns and expected hitbox sizes.
