Significant Contributions

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

• Nicola Salmoria added proper MC8123 decryption code. Hooked up a number of games that were using the chip, making many of them playable.

• Ville Linde fixed several SHARC opcodes where data transfer was done regardless of the condition. This fixes many things, like the upside-down geometry in Model 2B games. And also, probably all the remaining clipping issues in Gradius 4. At least the planet zooming out in the intro works now.

• Ville Linde added Z-clipping to the Model 2 driver.

• David Haywood replaced the old Sega System E driver with new one based on HazeMD.

• Brian Troha fixed a large pile of DIP switches in the Sega System E games.

• David Haywood fixed crash bugs in the SCSP emulation.

• R. Belmont submitted ES5503 improvements:
  • Fixed extraneous click at end of samples
  • Improved timing behavior. Fixes music tempo in many Apple IIgs apps and games in MESS.

• Philip Bennett fixed display of immediate word and long operands in the TMS340x0 disassembler.

• Derrick Renaud updated Ultra Tank to component value code instead of a generic emulation and added Sprint 4 audio.

• couriersud added save state support to the gaelco3d driver. Also added save state support to tms32031.c and dmadac.c.

• Derrick Renaud "fixed" analog controls in some vector games by adding back a faux VBLANK timing.

• Philip Bennett changed the TMS340x0 core to clear the HSTCTLH NMI bit on an acknowledge.

• Curt Coder externalized the CDP1869 color bit handling to a callback function for MESS.

• Nathan Woods refactored the options code into a new generic utility module options.c. Moved the MAME core options into a new module emuopts.c.

• Johnboy made some minor NeoGeo set updates.

• PS updated the cybertnk driver:
  • inter CPU communications
  • inputs (almost complete)
  • sound
  • program ROMs marked as bad dumps
  • unmapped reads

• Zsolt Vasvari updated some more drivers updated to the new video timing.

• Zsolt Vasvari did a ground-up rewrite of the VIC Dual driver.

• Ernesto Corvi added a preliminary MB86233 CPU core. Still needs to be hooked up to the Sega Model 2 driver.

• Ville Linde fixed an interrupt delay slot problem in the SHARC core.

• Ville Linde improved the K001005 polygon rendering.

• Nathan Woods introduced a video_screen_exists() call, to determine whether a given screen exists. Updated the debugger to use this so as not to crash if no screens are present.

• Aaron Giles fixed glitches in the neogeo driver introduced in last update.

• Aaron Giles added extensive (but still WIP) FD1094 debugging tools for help in brute force searching for keys.

• Aaron Giles fixed a bug in the Voodoo emulation that caused improper framerates to be computed.
