Details / Status

Rewrite the vp906iii driver:

• Almost done (in progress).
  • Rearranged GFX in two different banks.
  • Decoded GFX properly.
  • Rewrote the memory map based on program ROMs analysis.
  • Hooked two SY6520/6280 (M6821) PIAs for I/O.
  • Hooked the SY6545 (6845) CRT controller.
  • Fixed size for screen total and visible area based on SY6545 CRTC registers.
  • Added partial inputs through PIAs.
  • Added proper sound through AY8910 (mapped at $0840-$0841).
  • Fixed AY8910 volume to avoid clips.
  • Proper colors through color PROM decode.
  • Demuxed inputs (thanks to Dox that pointed me in the right direction!)
  • Added some game-protection workaround.
  • Added NVRAM support.
  • Renamed driver, set and description to match the real game.
  • Added technical notes.

Emulate protection in Magic Fly:

• Added proper emulation to the game protection that allow boot the game without patchs/hacks.

Emulate protection in 7 e Mezzo:

• Added proper emulation to the game protection that allow boot the game without patchs/hacks.

Hook the inputs properly in pmpoker.c games:

Connect all inputs through PIAs and remove the direct hack to input registers for all sets.

Rewrite the ltcasino driver:

Analyze the ltcasino & ltcasin2 program ROMs to fix all wrong aspects of emulation.
