Contributions

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


  • Couriersud did pstring, pdynlib, pfmtlog refactoring:
    • pstring:
      • Changed to use std::string for storage (removes allocation code).
      • Added support for UTF16LE.
      • Renamed size() to mem_t_size() and len() to length(), added size() == length().
      • Added empty() and simple compare().
    • Simplified pfmtlog, added more C++.
    • pdynlib: Added a dynproc type to dynlib to wrap dynamic library calls.
    • Fixed two coverty scan issues and various clang warnings.
  • Couriersud did Netlist code refactoring:
    • More use of C++ features.
    • Some CRTP in pfmtlog.
    • Demangled code for truthtables.
    • Used more constexpr.
    • Rewrote main loop.
    • Used default constructors and assignment operators were applicable.
    • Optimized 7448 and 9316.
    • Startup time decreased by 25% to 30% (netlists like pong/kidniki are parsed, analyzed and constructed in around 15 ms).
    • Run performance has improved by about 5%.
  • AJR renamed the write-only -printer image instance type to -printout (the former conflicts with printer port in several drivers).
  • AJR updated the osbexec driver: Added experimental support for RS232C serial ports.
  • AJR provided UI input map fixes:
    • Fixed a longstanding bug that prevented binding several ORed buttons to any input belonging to a non-root device.
    • Fixed a visual glitch when assigning inputs to analog sequences.
  • AJR updated decocass.cpp: Corrected missile colors for Highway Chase and Astro Fantasia.
  • AJR updated segas24.cpp, segaybd.cpp, segajw.cpp: Use 315-5296 for I/O.
  • AJR updated segaxbd.cpp: Rewrote CXD1095 as a device and also add it to megaplay.cpp, megatech.cpp, cyclwarr, and bigfight.
  • AJR updated segaybd.cpp, srallyc: Added OKI MSM6253 device.
  • AJR added VS9209 I/O device for various Video System games.
  • AJR converted Sega Model 1 Sound Board and Z80-based Digital Sound Board to use proper UART-based serial interfaces.
  • AJR updated segas32.cpp: Input modernization:
    • Use I8255 or MSM6253 devices for most non-JAMMA inputs.
    • Separated service and test inputs in Multi-32 and twin-unit sets.
    • arescue: Four coins are recognized, not just two.
    • ga2: Use MB8421 device for V25 communications.
