Specific Contributions

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


  • Roberto Fresca provided improvements to magicfly.c:
    • Confirmed and fixed CPU clock for magicfly and 7mezzo.
    • Rearranged the graphic ROMs addressing. Splitted both gfx banks.
    • Created and minimized the color palette for both gfx banks.
    • Fixed colors for magicfly and 7mezzo.
  • Roberto Zandona' updated the lethalen driver: improved offset screen and gun in japan version; removed eeprom default values.
  • ShouTime updated taito_z.c: Added PCB locations to the Aqua Jack sets.
  • Ville Linde updated the taitopjc driver: Preliminary text layer and I/O CPU hookup.
  • Ville Linde updated the taitotz driver: preliminary text layer hookup
  • Ville Linde updated the viper driver: implemented timers and I2C interface on MPC8240.
  • Ville Linde updated the voodoo core: preliminary Voodoo 3 support.
  • Fujix fixed various translitteration errors in csplayh5.c game name descriptions.
  • R. Belmont updated the Naomi driver: fixed various crashes for some GD-ROM sets.
  • ogoun, Lord Nightmare and The Dumping Union added tables from vlm5030 as verified by decap from ogoun. Adapted vlm5030 to use the tms5xxx common tables file. Some details have yet to be worked out for certain (how exactly the reflection coefficients beyond k=2 address the k2+ rom).
  • Lord Nightmare adjusted the VLM5030 K3 thru K10 coefficients to be based not on reading the K2 rom but based on the index itself <<6 or 7. This makes the games sound much better and explains the very small ram size used for coefficients other than K1 and K2. This needs further investigation and figuring out of the die schematic to settle completely.
  • Tafoid provided various gottlieb.c fixes:
    • Verified through playtesting, manuals and in-game service modes all dips in the driver. Consolidated and added Dip Locations based on all available information.
    • Changed Q*bert and Q*bert's Qubes joystick layout to 8-Way to allow for diagonals to be not only be mapped but used if desired.
