Specific Contributions

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

• Atari Ace continued to add const qualifiers on remaining items in the project.

• David Haywood added explicit clears on Neo Geo initialization.

• johnboy contributed Neo Geo updates:
  • Added Neo-Geo game pcb info
  • Corrected a number of incorrect ROMs
  • Added MVS VERSION tag to fightfva, renamed 'P'-rom
  • Added MVS AND AES VERSION tag to joyjoy
  • Added AES VERSION tag to kof99
  • Added MVS VERSION tag to kof99a

• Sonikos cleaned up input ports for cave.c and rpunch.c.

• couriersud made another big dkong.c driver update:
  • Wrote a M58817 sound driver and hooked it up. Uses a tms5110 speech synthesis. The LPC format is identical, however coefficients seem to be different. Until coefficients are known, samples are used.
  • changed dkong/radarscp based games to use hardware-conformant I8035 memory maps
  • Added drakton clone drktnjr on dkongjr hardware
  • moved address remapping proms to REGION_USER1 (hunchbkd & co)
  • Service now adds credit
  • Hooked up coin_counters
  • remove GAME_NOT_WORKING GAME_WRONG_COLORS from hunchbkd
  • dkongjr: mapped more interface lines between sound and cpu boards
  • tagged all inputs, all reads use tag names
  • moved more static vars into dkong_state

• kingshriek added more major SCSP fixes:
  • Rewrote much of the interpolation code
  • Improved key-rate scaling calculation
  • Fixed playback of non-looping samples with a zero loop-end address
  • Fixed backwards looping mode so that it initially reads forward until encountering the loop-start address
  • Preliminary but reasonable-sounding FM support
  • Fixed overflow in frequency calculation
  • Improved FM, but it's disabled for now because it doesn't sound right yet
  • Improved DSP wet/dry mix (should be correct now)
  • Fixed a minor LPSLNK problem

• Jim Stolis fixed Hopper Empty and Coin-Out Timeout issues in the peplus.c driver.

• Oliver Stoneberg removed obsolete crosshair code.

• Oliver Stoneberg fixed several minor memory leaks.
