Specific Contributions

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

• Brian Troha fixed DIP switches in Night Striker

• smf fixed the data size parameter of the DUMP command in the debugger

• smf fixed the bug where SAVE only worked on 8bit cpus in the debugger

• Bryan McPhail made dbg_show_scanline the default

• Nathan Woods changed a few MAME core files for MESS (shouldn't change Mame behavior)
  • Adds four new calls to control showing the fps count and the profiler:
    • void ui_show_fps_set(int show);
    • int ui_show_fps_get(void);
    • void ui_show_profiler_set(int show);
    • int ui_show_profiler_get(void);
  • Adds ROM_LOAD32_DWORD
  • Enhances the hard disk code to support sector sizes other than 512 bytes (a non-IDE harddisk in MESS for one of the TI systems uses this). idectrl.c has been modified to take this into account; it requires that HD images be 512 bytes. The new code is fully backwards compatible with old CHDs that do not have a sector size within them.

• Bryan McPhail made tiny changes to enable easy compiling under VC6/7 & older non-c99 compilers

• Acho A. Tang updated and fixed several Konami drivers, including a fix for the dbz / moo / simpsons crashes in 0.70.

• Chris Kirmse and * Paul Priest fixed some problems with the new alt. BIOS code

• Stefan Jokisch rewrote the Wolf Pack driver based on schematics

• Leon van Rooij made D3D code fixes / improvements
