Specific Contributions

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

  • Curt Coder fixed input port read at init time in grchamp.c.
  • Aaron Giles fixed input port read validation. The previous check was way too aggressive, and prevented CUSTOM_INPUT handlers from reading other ports. This one sets an "all clear" flag as soon as the configuration data is loaded.
  • Yasuhiro Ogawa updated the GX era haradware: update video parameters to use actual values written to the CCU.
  • ElSemi rewrote the MultiPCM/315-5560. All features are now supported including PLFO and ALFO.
  • couriersud fixed a read from input port during VIDEO_START in namcofl.c.
  • couriersud cleaned up z80dma interface
    • removed compatibility to old z80dma driver
    • now uses std. callbacks (READ8_HANDLER, WRITE8_HANDLER)

    • Cleaned-up the sets.
    • Cleaned-up the driver.
    • Updated technical notes.
  • Aaron Giles worked on Save state support:
    • added save state support to the MIPS3 recompiler
    • added save state support to CAGE audio system
    • added save state support to the voodoo emulator
    • added save state support to the smc91c9x emulator
    • added save state support to the kinst, seattle, and vegas drivers
    • fixed core video handling of save states with dynamic screen resolutions
    • added save state support to the SHARC CPU core
    • added save state support to the PowerPC recompiler
    • added save state support to the virtual TLB system
    • added save state support to the RF5C400 sound core
    • added save state support to konppc module
    • added save state support to K056800 host controller
    • added save state support to the Konami hornet driver
  • Aaron Giles changed the SMC91C9x:
    • converted to proper device
    • updated seattle and vegas drivers to allocate devices
    • added separate 91C96 device for eventual 2049 use
    • cleaned up code
  • Atari Ace added machine parameter to memory_region() and memory_region_length() functions. Cleaned up usage of these throughout the code to cache pointers rather than calling these functions repeatedly during loops.
  • Aaron Giles fixed poor default CLUT handling in the voodoo driver.
  • Aaron Giles contributed DRC fixes:
    • Fixed WRITEM opcode on 64-bit to call through memory instead of directly. Solves assertions with gcc 4.3 and 64-bit linux.
    • Fixed DCMP opcode on the 32-bit back-end
    • Fixed LZCNT opcode in x86 and x64 back-ends
    • Added support for flags in LZCNT and BSWAP opcodes on x86 and x64 back-ends
  • Aaron Giles changed the debugger so it does not stop while we are waiting for a pending event to occur. This eliminates some confusion during reset and state loading.
  • Aaron Giles explicitly disabled overlays for non-native snapshots (native snapshots already had them disabled).
  • Guru added more complete readmes for Konami PowerPC games.
  • Aaron Giles cleaned up system register access in Konami PowerPC games. Connected EEPROM in hornet driver (doesn't seem to affect much). Altered network IRQ timing to fix several problems. Most games are back to their previous "working" states.
  • Aaron Giles changed the DRC frontend to pass a pointer to the previous instruction when describing. Updated PowerPC frontend to approximately take into account branch and CR logic folding in timing computations.
  • Shimapong updated the cheat system:
    • Merged 3 different search menu functions to search_main_menu()
    • Added new cheat options, "Vertical/Horizontal Key Repeat Speed"
      • NOTE : delete all cheat options in the database before start or reload default options (Shift + Reload key) in cheat general menu
    • Changed assignment of Entry for Activation Key and Pre-enable command code. Now there are check the tag in comment field instead of index number. But it's only for new format command and old is as before
    • Added tag output in save_activation_key() and save_pre_enable()
    • Cleaned up save_cheat_options() to output description
    • Changed memory read function in watchpoints - No longer "Debugger" watchpoint mis-hit "Cheat" watchpoint
    • Fixed several reported/found bugs
    • Renamed funcitons/enum based on coding guidlines - All functions are completed in this update
  • Aaron Giles removed DEBUGGER flag from makefile and ENABLE_DEBUGGER macro from the source code. All MAME builds now include the debugger, and it is enabled/disabled exclusively by the runtime command-line/ini settings. This is a minor speed hit for now, but will be further optimized going forward.
  • Aaron Giles changed the 'd' suffix in the makefile to apply to DEBUG builds (versus DEBUGGER builds as it did before).
  • Aaron Giles changed machine->debug_mode to machine->debug_flags. These flags now indicate several things, such as whether debugging is enabled, whether CPU cores should call the debugger on each instruction, and whether there are live watchpoints on each address space. Redesigned a significant portion of debugcpu.c around the concept of maintaining these flags globally and a similar, more complete set of flags internally for each CPU. All previous functionality should work as designed but should be more robust and faster to work with.
  • Aaron Giles added new debugger hooks for starting/stopping CPU execution. This allows the debugger to decide whether or not a given CPU needs to call the debugger on each instruction during the coming timeslice. Also added new debugger hook for reporting exceptions. Proper exception breakpoints are not yet implemented.
  • Minwah added 360degree wheel (dial) input to GTMR, which is available when the Controller dip is set to 'Wheel', and Controls dip is set to '1P Side'. Note when Controls dip is set to 'Both Sides', 270degree wheel (paddle) input is used.
  • Fabio Priuli made more conversions to input_port_read:
    • updated the whole mid*unit family of drivers + seattle & zeus which shared some input code.
    • updated most namco systems + a couple of old drivers sharing the input handling, minus namcos22
    • updated most of the M->Q drivers + finally removed indexed reads from megadriv.c (without breaking ssf2ghw)
    • removed indexed read from drivers starting with r (and slightly simplify inputs in royalmah.c)
    • unified nichibustu mahjong input ports (using common ports in nbmj9195.c as well as in the other drivers), removed indexed read and exploited tags to reduce complexity in a couple of handlers
  • John Gilbert fixed missing sha1 values in ampoker2.c, atarigx2.c, cabal.c, and ksys573.c.
  • Atari Ace fixed a few build problems with the cpu/sound cores M65CE02, ALPHA8201, TMC0285, TMS5200 and corrected the dependencies for the mips core.
  • Sonikos finished the work on ddragon3:
    • Mapped the correct dip "SW1-8" before was incorrect
    • Added "FBI Logo" dips in ctribe
    • Fixed the dips condition's implementation to avoid the mame crash in ctribe
    • Change the name of (Italian bootleg) in a better (bootleg Set 2)
  • Sonikos set OKI 6295 pin 7 to high in gotcha driver.
  • Atari Ace fixed make MSVC_BUILD=1 -j2 and corrected an oversight in the cross-build support.
  • Oliver Stoeneberg cleaned up most of the Machine stuff in src/emu/machine. There is a bit left to clean up, but it's mostly stuck at some interfaces now.
