Specific Contributions

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

• David Haywood and Tomasz Slanina fixed clocks for Orbs.

• R. Belmont fixed various 64-bit GCC warnings.

• Andreas Naive and R. Belmont improved the accuracy and documentation of NSS/SNES DSP-1.

• Guru and Aaron Giles added new file xtal.h, documenting all known arcade PCB clock cystals. Drivers should be updated to use these as a basis for their clocks, and the list should be augmented as additional crystals are found.

• Pierpaolo Prazzoli made suprloco improvements:
  • Fixed IC.34 memory test
  • Fixed 2nd player cocktail mode
  • Changed coin3 to service1

• Brian Troha cleaned up inputs/DIP switches in cninja driver.

• couriersud rewrote mario.c:
  • rewrote driver, separate MACHINE_DRIVER(mario_audio)
  • palette from schematics
  • video timing from schematics
  • driver configuration switch Nintendo/Std Monitor
  • got rid of COLORTABLE

• Pierpaolo Prazzoli fixed typo for IO1 irq callback in hyperstone core.

• Aaron Giles added memory_get_bank() function. Fixed logging in memory.c to to use %p for pointer values.

• R. Belmont implemented a few SysCtrl, Maple, and PVR/HOLLY bits for Naomi. The BIOS gets slightly further but is nowhere near starting up.

• Aaron Giles contributed Zeus updates:
  • Better documented various bit latches.
  • Hooked up crusnexo lamp board (added layout).
  • Fixed year in MK4 startup test.

• couriersud and Lord Nightmare fixed TMS5110 tables.

• Aaron Giles and Oliver Stoneberg removed ui_popup(). Drivers should always be using popmessage() instead (has been this way for a while). Augmented popmessage() so that you can pass NULL to immediately dismiss any messages.

• Oliver Stoneberg added ATTR_PRINTF to a number of functions that have printf semantics.

• Aaron Giles rewrote the sbrkout driver based on schematics:
  • XTAL-based timing
  • Correct video timing
  • Full memory map
  • Correct memory usage ("zero page" RAM is shared with videoram)
  • Removed all input hacks
  • Fixed interrupt generation
  • Connected coin counters
  • Added save state support

• Oliver Stoneberg and Aaron Giles fixed several UNICODE=1 issues in the debugger. Changed the Windows build process to always enable UNICODE=1 for 64-bit builds.
