Happy 15th Anniversary! Over its 15 years of existence since MAME
0.01 was released for MS-DOS with an initial library of 5 sets, MAME
has grown exponentially to the point that no one thought we would be,
boasting 18,650 different sets and operable on more OS platforms than
thought possible. While video-based arcade games were the original
targets for MAME, the scope of the project has grown to include
documentation of virtually all coin-operated amusement devices
including gambling (video/slots), coin droppers, pinball machines and
more. Through the efforts of the literally thousands of developers,
players and others who have provided assistance and feedback over the
project’s history, we would like to thank all of them that made this
possible!

Rewrote tilemap.c as a C++ class. For now kept the global functions
and just inline mapped them to the class. Will do a pass soon to
actually update drivers to use the C++ methods directly. Also, the

integrating into modern devices and drivers going forward.

vamphalf.c: Added correct speedup for Toy Land Adventure. Demoted Mr.

beaminv.c: added color overlay [MASH]

Added support for 2 drives on IDE controller [Miodrag Milanovic]

Major bitmap-related changes throughout the system: [Aaron Giles]
There are almost certainly some regressions lurking. Let me know if
something seems busted.
Bitmaps are now strongly typed based on format. bitmap_t still exists
as an abstract base class, but it is almost never used. Instead,
format-specific bitmap classes are provided:
bitmap_ind8 == 8bpp indexed bitmap_ind16 == 16bpp indexed bitmap_ind32
== 32bpp indexed bitmap_ind64 == 64bpp indexed bitmap_rgb32 == 32bpp
RGB bitmap_argb32 == 32bpp ARGB bitmap_yuy16 == 16bpp YUY
For each format, a generic pix() method is provided which references
pixels of the correct type. The old pix8/pix16/pix32/ pix64 methods
still exist in the short term, but the only one available is the one
that matches the bitmap’s pixel size. Note also that the old RGB15
format bitmaps are no longer supported at all.
Converted model1, megadriv, and stv drivers away from the RGB15 format
bitmaps.
New auto_bitmap__alloc() macros are provided for allocating the
appropriate type of bitmap.
Screen update functions now must specify the correct bitmap type as
their input parameters. For static update functions the SCREEN_UPDATE
macro is now replaced with SCREEN_UPDATE_RGB32 and SCREEN_UPDATE_IND16
macros. All existing drivers have been updated to use the correct
macros.
Screen update functions are now required for all screens; there is no
longer any default behavior of copying a “default” bitmap to the
screen (in fact the default bitmap has been deprecated). Use one of
the following to specify your screen_update callback:
MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE_STATIC(name) – static functions
MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE_DRIVER(class, func) – driver members
MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE_DEVICE(tag, class, func) – device members
Because the target bitmap format can now be deduced from the screen
update function itself, the MCFG_SCREEN_FORMAT macro is no longer
necessary, and has been removed. If you specify a screen update
callback that takes a bitmap_ind16, then the screen will be configured
to use a 16bpp indexed bitmap, and if you specify a callback that
takes a bitmap_rgb32, then a 32bpp RGB bitmap will be provided.
Extended the bitmap classes to support wrapping a subregion of another
bitmap, and cleaner allocation/resetting. The preferred use of bitmaps
now is to define them directly in drivers/devices and use allocate()
or wrap() to set them up, rather than allocating them via
auto_bitmap_*_alloc().
Several common devices needed overhauls or changes as a result of the
above changes:
* Reorganized the laserdisc base driver and all the laserdisc drivers
as modern C++ devices, cleaning the code up considerably. Merged
ldsound device into the laserdsc device since modern devices are
flexible enough to handle it.
* Reorganized the v9938 device as a modern C++ device. Removed
v9938mod.c in favor of template functions in v9938.c directly.
* Added independent ind16 and rgb32 callbacks for TMS340x0 devices.
* All video devices are now hard-coded to either ind16 or rgb32
bitmaps. The most notable is the mc6845 which is rgb32, and
required changes to a number of consumers.
* Added screen_update methods to most video devices so they can be
directly called via MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE_DEVICE instead of creating
tons of stub functions.
Added new template device_delegate which wraps a regular delegate and
includes a string pointer to a device tag, which can be simply
resolved later. Converted the screen_update delegates to to be based
on this. Changed the mechanism by which screen formats are auto-
deduced. Converted SCREEN_EOF to use these delegates as well, so now
there is MCFG_SCREEN_EOF_STATIC/ DRIVER/DEVICE just like
MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE.

Death to SCREEN_EOF, which was ambiguously called either at the start
or end of VBLANK depending on the video flag
VIDEO_UPDATE_AFTER_VBLANK. Replaced with SCREEN_VBLANK callbacks which
are called both at the start and end of VBLANK, so you can operate
either way, and be explicit about it. Updated all callers. Also
updated screen_device to use device timers and some other minor
cleanups.

Beginning to implement page faults [Carl]

Created new testcpu driver that shows how to develop an empty test
driver that (ab)uses the core to single step a CPU executing arbitrary
instructions and capturing before/after state and tracking memory.
Currently this driver is always compiled, but is not referenced in
mame.lst. [Aaron Giles]

Cleanup of bitmap classes now that formats and bpp are dictated
strictly by the type. Also added code to more aggressively align the
bitmap base and rowbytes, and create a resize method which attempts to
re-use existing memory rather than always reallocating. [Aaron Giles]

i386: Added I/O permissions. [Carl]

Added new method screen_device::register_screen_bitmap which allocates
a given bitmap to match the screen size and resizes it as appropriate
when the screen size changes. Updated all the obvious spots in the
code where this could be leveraged. [Aaron Giles]
Move allocate/resize methods in the bitmap classes down into bitmap_t
because they no longer have any dependency on the bitmap format or
type.
Ensured that the bitmap’s palette remains set across a resize call (it
is lost doing an allocate).

[N64] Various changes: [MooglyGuy, Happy]
* Converted AI / VI / MI / RI / SI / PI into a modernized device
* PI DMA now takes place after an appropriate delay to simulate
transfer time
- SP DMA no longer rejects transfers of 0 bytes (should transfer one
8-byte word)

x87: fix for single-precision operations [Peter Ferrie]

Capcom ZN-1 update [Team CPS-1]:
* Redumped and fixed MASK ROMs in ts2, ts2j to match real pcb

Fixed Atari logo bad colors at POST in Area 51:Site 4 [Angelo Salese]

Change ‘screen’ parameter in SCREEN_UPDATE and SCREEN_EOF callbacks to

Remove old vestiges of driver_device video_eof override since it
wasn’t being used. Update all multi-screen games to use separate

[Tim Schuerewegen]

s3c24xx: lots of changes for future Happy Fish 302-in-1 and Palm Z22
(mess) drivers [Tim Schuerewegen]

chdman: fixed -extractcd of images with postgaps. CHDs do not need
reconversion, this was an -extractcd problem only. [R. Belmont]

Implemented every single documented x87 co-processor opcodes in 386+
CPU cores [Angelo Salese]

Converted bitmap_t and rectangle into proper classes. Replaced
BITMAP_ADDR* macros with bitmap->pix* functions, and moved
bitmap_fill() to bitmap->fill() among other similar changes. Bitmap
fields now only available via accessors. Replaced sect_rect with &=
and union_rect with |= operators for rectangle classes. Some general
cleanup as a result of these changes. [Aaron Giles]

Implemented generic functions for RDMSR and WRMSR opcodes in Pentium
CPU core (i.e. no MSR is actually hooked up so far) [Angelo Salese]

Hooked up device in Savage Quest, dies at floppy error [Angelo Salese]

Hooked up devices for X-Tom 3d, gets to BOOT error if you soft reset

segae.c: Updated driver to use the implementation from
src/emu/video/315_5124.c and modernized driver.
[Enik Land, Wilbert Pol]

Bulk converted cliprect * to cliprect & across the system. This makes
cliprects mandatory everywhere. In general, cliprects were being
correctly passed through the video side of most drivers already, so it
is mostly a semantic change. Note that with my previous change,
bitmaps have cliprects, so if you just want to clip to the bitmap’s
boundaries, pass bitmap->cliprect() instead of NULL (which is no
longer permitted). [Aaron Giles]

68HC05: CLR instruction should not affect the carry flag. Verified

Hooked up basic devices in Queen and Midway Quicksilver HWs [Angelo

mcr.c: added twotiger stereo 8-track tape sample playback
[italie, Mr. Do, hap]

Bulk conversion of bitmap_t * to bitmap_t & . With this change the
parameters for the global SCREEN_UPDATE callback match the parameters
for the driver_device version. Added allocate() and deallocate()
methods to bitmap_t to permit cleaner handling of bitmaps in drivers
and modern devices. [Aaron Giles]

m680x0: fix case where the MMU trashed memory [R. Belmont]

Removed machine.generic.tmpbitmap, VIDEO_START(generic_bitmapped), and
SCREEN_UPDATE(generic_bitmapped). In their place, each screen_device
now maintains a default bitmap which is automatically copied to the
screen on each update if no SCREEN_UPDATE function is provided and if
no driver_device::video_update override is present. This bitmap can be
found by querying the screen’s new default_bitmap() method.
[Aaron Giles]

Hooked up devices and flash loading for Funky Ball, game currently dies
at a Voodoo color DAC register check [Angelo Salese]

Removed old C-based interface to astrings. astring exists only as a

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

[ogoun, Lord Nightmare, The Dumping Union]

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. [Lord Nightmare]

execution in the midst of an instruction by calling
machine().scheduler().make_active(). Note that this is somewhat
dangerous for cores that have logic at the start of their execute loop
to check for interrupts or other conditions, as those checks will be
skipped upon resume, so consider this sort of early exiting to be
highly experimental for now. [Aaron Giles, Miodrag Milanovic, byuu]

- Modernised internal memory map;
- MDEC is now an internal device of the PlayStation CPU;
- Root counter & Serial I/O converted to internal CPU devices;
- Moved PlayStation IRQ code to sub device of the CPU;

Switch input ports to use function-based constructors instead of
tokens. Remove the old tokenizing helpers. Add basic classes for
ports, fields, settings, and dip locations as a first step. These will
be fully cleaned up later. Added machine() method to field to hide all
the necessary indirection. Changed custom/changed handlers into
generic read/write handlers, and added wrappers to convert them to
device read/write lines. [Aaron Giles]

Changed input read/write and crosshair callbacks into delegates.
Changed signature for callbacks to take an input_field_config
reference instead of pointer. [Aaron Giles]

Removed legacy trampolines from eeprom_device, taking advantage of new
input port support for delegates. [Aaron Giles]

mc6845.c: Converted to C++. [Wilbert Pol]

Fixed the disassembly of the “mov ax, mem” instructions (opcodes A0-
A3) in the i386 and NEC disassemblers. The argument (the memory
address) was being displayed as a signed number, which doesn’t make
any sense. [Alex Jackson]

Fixed a tiny bug with the debugger hex dump command: the printable
characters in ASCII range from 32 to 12*6*, not 127. [Alex Jackson]

Fixed input regression with Racin’ Force, allowing it to boot again
[Angelo Salese]

Gave labels to many inputs in Midway’s T, Wolf and Y Unit games as
well as CPS1 and CPS3. [Joe Caporale]

Implemented experimental HLSL post-processing support on Direct3D 9
targets. [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* 5-pass post-processing: Upscale, Post-Process, Store Last Frame,
Defocus 1, Defocus 2
* Many tunable effects including: Scanlines, defocus, linear
deconvergence, radial deconvergence, pincushion, RGB colorspace
convolution, YIQ colorspace convolution, saturation, simulated dot
crawl, simulated chroma subsampling, aperture masking, and more.
* Requires a GPU that supports Shader Model 3.0 to be enabled and a
powerful GPU, the entire pipeline consists of approximately 30
texel fetches and approximately 230 arthimetic ops.
* Will supersample the framebuffer up to 9x in both X and Y, but this
requires an enormously powerful GPU that has not been invented;
users with Radeon 5000-class cards should limit themselves to 3x,
Radeon 4000 to 1.5x.
* The default configuration will NOT appear to do anything; it
requires tuning to the user’s liking.
* Should nicely fall back in all cases except missing shaders, and it
might fall back correctly in that case as well. Report any
anomalies.
- For obvious reasons, the Direct3D8 renderer cannont support this.

Enable Visual Studio basic run-time checks in non-optimized builds
[Oliver Stoneberg]

Flush stderr, so the data is actually written when output is being

[Miodrag Milanovic]

Major clean-up and state machine conversion for the Sega ST-V / Saturn
driver [Angelo Salese]

HLSL Updates [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* Split color convolution and deconvergence into separate shaders for
potential GPU savings down the line
* Added light and heavy variants of the color convolution shader, the
former with YIQ colorspace removed
* Re-worked defocus to occur prior to shadow mask application, as it
would be on a real monitor.
* Split “pincushion” into “Pincushion” and “Screen Curvature”, the
former affecting the only the displayed image and the latter only
affecting the shadow mask.
* Made major fixes to CVBS simulation, significantly increasing color
saturation
* Added magnet deconvergence via a shader uniform
* Improved phosphorescence
* Improved YIQ codec
* Added adjustable color carrier in YIQ processing mode.
* Fixed resolution-change crash and likely D3D performance regression
with -nohlsl on low-spec cards
* Created a new OSD function, osd_get_slider_list, which allows
OS-specific slider controls.

HLSL Post-Processing Updates: [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment, cgwg]
* The defocus pass is now switched off when defocus_x and defocus_y
are zero, allowing finer-grained performance tuning.
* Removed YIQ convolution from the main color-convolution shader and
replaced it with a full composite encode/decode pass. This is slower,
but looks amazing(ly like a terrible TV) and can be turned off.
* More authentic NTSC dot crawl and bandwidth limiting.

i86 – Implemented POP CS and MOV CS,reg instructions that are 8086
specific [Miodrag Milanovic]

[O. Galibert, MetalliC, Tormod, D. Knute]

Started unifying sprite implementations for setax001/x002 chips
[David Haywood]

drcbex64: Fix op_debug implementation [O. Galibert]

Add Puzznic MCU dump and added a PAL as NO_DUMP. The MCU still needs
to be properly hooked up. [Smitdogg, The Dumping Union, Lord
Nightmare]

naomi: Add jvs command 0×32, fixes Crazy Taxi and Virtua Tennis 2
booting [O. Galibert]

Added input button labels for Midway T-Unit driver [Joe Caporale]

F text tilemap to be 8-bits [Angelo Salese]

Hooked up NB1414M4 to Ninja Emaki, greatly improving gfxs in it
[Angelo Salese]

Implemented serial type scrolling for Youma Ninpou Chou bootlegs
[Angelo Salese]

Support for dynamic devices added to the core. [Miodrag Milanovic]
* Added slot and slot card interfaces
* Added SLOT_INTERFACE macros in order to simplify device adding
* Added new menu option “Slot Devices” and support to change device
in runtime
* Updated emuopts to support command setting of slot cards

Update clifront and added listslots option to display available
slots and device options for each one [Miodrag Milanovic]

Salese]

Moved format handling and all formats to separate library
[Miodrag Milanovic]

to external devices can be set in the machine config, the old calls
are still there until the rest of the code is converted. [smf]

Added support for default NVRAM in MCCS1850. [Curt Coder]

Various Irem M92 / M107 fixes [Alex Jackson]
* Hooked up sound CPU interrupts properly, using the V35 builtin
interrupt controller, rather than generating the vectors in the
driver.
* Cleaned up ROM mirroring, using AM_REGION macros in the address
maps instead of memcpy()ing all over the place in the
DRIVER_INITs.
* Converted bankswitching to use configured banks. Only configure the
banks and install the bankswitch WRITE_HANDLER in the games that
actually use it (i.e. those with a full megabyte of program ROM).
This and the previous change make the drivers a lot less confusing
to look at… I hope.
* Converted both drivers to use a scanline timer device instead of a
hand-rolled one.
* Added save state support to m92.c. Everything necessary was already
saved, I just had to add the tag. However, presumably due to the
core emu_timer breakage (MT 4330, 4331) the save states don’t
actually work at the moment. I’ve already reported this as MT
#4333
* Added GAME_MECHANICAL tag to wpksoc and clone

Converted Ginga Ninkyouden to use proper 6840 PTM device
[Angelo Salese]

Fixed missing sprite regression in the Wiz driver [Angelo Salese]

softlist: moved software list handling (in the Internal UI) to a
separate source, and made the code more similar to the File Manager
handling code. [Fabio Priuli]

CPS-3 update [Team CPS-1]:
* Added Street Fighter III: New Generation Hispanic BIOS rom CD
version
* Added a detailed table of all known releases until now with usefull
notes to identify new Cart Regions/CD Revisions
* Renamed some CHDs to use the new Catalog # standard

uiswlist.c: added a switch to choose between shortname order or
description order for softlist entries (in the Internal UI), and
adapted the char input code to match shortnames or descriptions
accordingly [Fabio Priuli]

sc61860 cpu – fix for crash and cleanup, replace for internal ram
accesses with function calls to help further debug the core in the
future [Atari Ace]

* cage/dcs/williams variables are restructured internally to resemble
a device, simplifying a future device conversion. Some AM_BASE
macros are eliminated as well.
* taito_en has minor changes to eliminate an AM_BASE macro.

Heavily improved 3 Super 8 emulation, and implemented NMI acknowledge

[Lord Nightmare]

8237dma – Added cascade mode support [Wilbert Pol]

pic8259 – Added support for cascade mode, updated interface in all
drivers [Miodrag Milanovic]

upd7725.c: Implementation of the p0 and p1 output bits as device
lines; preliminary implementation of INT input line. [Lord Nightmare]

Replaced mamedriv.c with a new driver list mechanism that is generated
by the build tools. The emulator core now expects the presence of a
file called src/$(TARGET)/$(SUBTARGET).lst which is just a raw list of
driver names, one per line. C and C++ comments are still permitted.
This file is parsed by a new build tool makelist which extracts the
driver names, sorts them, and generates a file called drivlist.c,
which is consumed by the core. [Aaron Giles]

Added new osdcore function osd_malloc_array() which is identical to
osd_malloc() but obviously hints that the underlying allocation is for
an array. Updated all callers to use the appropriate form. Modified
the Windows allocator to only use guard pages for array-style
allocations, allowing us to enable them once again in debug builds.
[Aaron Giles]

Created new static class driver_list to wrap accesses to the list of
available drivers. Improved speed of driver lookups by relying on the
presorting done by makelist. [Aaron Giles]

Created helper class driver_enumerator as a helper for iterating
through the list of drivers. This class supports basic filtering and
iteration, and also serves as a temporary cache of machine_configs.
[Aaron Giles]

Created cli_frontend object to wrap all the CLI handling code in
clifront.c. Updated/simplified all the code to take advantage of the
driver_enumerator. [Aaron Giles]

Created media_auditor object to wrap all the auditing functions in
audit.c. Updated all users to the new interface. Note that the new
auditing mechanism is slightly out of sync with the romload code in
terms of finding ROMs owned by devices, so it may mis-report some
issues until the new ROM loading code is in. [Aaron Giles]

Added concept of a per-device searchpath. For most devices, their
searchpath is just the short name of the device. For driver_devices,
the searchpath is driver[;parent[;bios]]. This searchpath will
eventually be used by the rom loader to find ROMs. For now it is used
by the media auditor only. [Aaron Giles]

Created info_xml_creator object to wrap all the info generation
functions in info.c. Converted the file to C++ and cleaned up the
input processing code. [Aaron Giles]

model2.c: Corrected the revision level for Top Skater (USA) set
[The Dumping Union]

Various improvements to the Konami Viper driver [Ville Linde]

midqslvr: Add some hardware information [O. Galibert]

Added reverse-spin support to the stepper motor simulator
[James Wallace]

mpu4.c: Documented MOD 4 OKI program card ROM banking and improved the
BwB characteriser emulation. [James Wallace]

Fixed the I/O address in Intel 8257 DMA operations. [Curt Coder]

Fixes for non-native SDL builds on OS X [Paulo Cabral]

Added “Mandatory artwork is missing” error [Oliver Stφneberg]

Implemented 16-bit device callbacks. [Curt Coder]

Fix loading fonts on MacOSX. [Couriersud]

Delegates 2.0 implementation. Resdesigned how delegates work to make
them more flexible and simpler to use. Got rid of the proto_delegates
altogether in favor of supporting delegates that are bound to NULL
objects. Added a front-end template that supports “natural” syntax
favored by libraries like boost. Added support for static functions
that take reference parameters instead of pointer parameters for the
object type. Updated all delegate users in the system to the new
syntax. [Aaron Giles]

Changed the DIRECT_UPDATE_HANDLER to take a machine reference like
everything else in the system. Updated all users. [Aaron Giles]

Changed the FUNC() macro to automatically put an & in front of the
item passed. In general this works transparently, however it does have
the nice side-effect of catching situations where a variable is passed
instead of a function name. Fixed those cases to push the naming
upstream so that the name is now provided properly. Also added a
FUNC_NULL macro since FUNC(NULL) no longer works. [Aaron Giles]

tms5220.c: partially fixed perfect interpolation hack, disabled by
default. [Lord Nightmare]

segas24: Start untangling the Vogon poetry Atari Ace left is his wake.
Apply the new timing implementation per cgfm’s analysis. Gain ground
is going to be stuck in free play mode. [O. Galibert]

tms5220.c: fixed perfect interpolation hack the rest of the way, now
it works as it did before 0.140 or so. [Lord Nightmare]

tms5220.c: improve perfect interpolation hack slightly, should be less
noisy after inhibit frames. [Lord Nightmare]

--------------
hng64 improvements: [Andrew Gardner]
 - RoadsEdge & XRally polygons are now visible.
 - Improved geometry chunk type 0x2e.
 - Fleshed out the 'chunk type bits' a little. This will be verified
    against type 0x24.
 - Xrally and roadedge hng64 screens no longer run at 10fps.
 - Fixed polygon lookup in driving games.

Changed behavior of -watchdog option to act like a real watchdog. It
now specifies the number of seconds after the last video update that
will cause auto-termination of MAME. Also modified it to output a
message when the watchdog triggers the exit. [Aaron Giles]

Updated windows.txt to reflect this option and the debugger_font
options which were never previously documented. [Aaron Giles]

EEPROM changes: [Aaron Giles]
 - Fixed auto EEPROM region to properly handle 16-bit data.
 - Changed EEPROM device to initialize EEPROM at NVRAM load time
    rather than init time, giving DEVICE_INIT handlers a chance to
    muck with the data first.
 - Removed _NODEFAULT_ forms of EEPROM driver macros. If you need to
    add default data, follow the MDRV_EEPROM_ADD() with
    MDRV_EEPROM_DATA().
 - Updated remaining drivers to the new EEPROM device code. Many of
    them now require a default EEPROM to be loaded along with the
    ROMs, rather than hard-coded data in the driver
 - Exposed an address space for EEPROM devices, meaning the memory
    is now visible in the debugger and can be accessed via expressions
 - Updated all systems that muck directly with EEPROM memory to
    use memory accessors instead on the EEPROM address space.
 - Removed old EEPROM implementation

cb2001: added many new opcodes [robiza]

Split ADC1038, Konami 033906 and Konami 056230 emulation from
gticlub.c and konppc.c. Also, converted them to be devices and updated
PPC Konami games to use the new code. [Fabio Priuli]

Added a bunch of new protection handlers for Spark Man [Angelo Salese]

sub.c - Put in board XTAL and came up with some seeming better clock
speed approximations until board readings can be done. [Tafoid]

mcr.c - Sets tron3 and tron4 don't appear to have a valid working

converted gaplus.c, mappy.c and toypop.c to use the new code.
[Fabio Priuli]

Allow any device memory (not just CPU's) to be accessed via debug
expressions. Removed support in the expression engine for EEPROM-
specific accesses. [Aaron Giles]

Converted Fujitsu MB87078 Volume Controller to be a device and
updated taito_b.c to use the new code (it's the only driver
emulating this chip atm). [Fabio Priuli]

merit.c - Fixed what might be a copy/paste error in two sets
(trvwz3h, trvwz3v) where two roms had the same filename in the same
romset. [Tafoid]

Renamed tilemap -> tilemap_t, as the name 'tilemap' is too commonly
used for statics and structure members, and some compilers (esp. C++
compilers) don't allow that. [Aaron Giles]

Fix for INP recording ports that have changed notification. Also
prevents new inputs from affecting recorded inputs during playback.
[mahlemiut]

Updated srcclean to remove "invisible spaces" immediately preceding
tabs. [Atari Ace]

Cleaned up braces in the code so that they are properly balanced.
[Atari Ace]

Optimized RDP implementation further with more flattened branches.
[Harmony]

Converted a number of vector opcodes to the RSP DRC core. [Harmony]

Unrolled and optimized a number of vector opcodes in the interpreter
RSP core. [Harmony]

Extended the devtempl.h file to support device address spaces.
[Aaron Giles]

cmmb.c - Identified and marked Service Mode DIP. [Tafoid]

Converted the NMK112 to be a device and updated drivers using it
accordingly. [Fabio Priuli]

Added GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE flag to psikyosh.c, since the conversion to
eeprom devices fixed the remaining issues with save states.
[Fabio Priuli, Aaron Giles]

Changed Caveman Ninja driver to use Partial Updates for Raster Effects
instead of buffering scanline data [David Haywood]

Changed Deco32 driver to use Partial Updates for Raster Effects
instead of buffering scanline data (but left Dragon Gun using the
buffering, because the video rendering code is far too slow with 224
partial updates for now) [David Haywood]

Commented out some harmful and suspicious looking interrupt generation
in NamcoND1 driver until it's being properly verified; fixes Game
Options menu in NCV2 test mode.  [David Haywood]

 - Fixed some minor quirks
 - Improved Backgammon memory map
 - Implemented RAMDAC for Fun Land Deluxe

Fixed error in codegen for drol/dror opcodes in the x86 back-end.
[Aaron Giles]

Re-implemented misaligned memory handling in the RSP DRC as before.

hardware clone. Title & background change, but the demo play and
block arrangement are identical. Added info from the Guru's website
about the reported manufacture company and year for LA Girls. Added a
note about Tube-it having the copyright and manufacture info removed.
[Brian Troha]

Source Changes
--------------
Added driver data struct to: [Fabio Priuli]
 - airbustr.c
 - cvs.c
 - 8080bw.c and mw8080bw.c
 - 88games.c, combatsc.c and rockrage.c
 - psikyo4.c and psikyosh.c

to use this implementation in place of its own version. [Fabio Priuli]

Enhanced the UML opcodes for LOAD, LOADS, and STORE to support
arbitrary scaling factors. Previously, specifying a size implied
a scaling factor equal to the size (i.e., specifying DWORD meant
the index was scaled by 4). This is still the default. However,
now you can specify the scale explicitly for other cases. For
example, you can specify DWORD_x1 to fetch a DWORD but don't
scale the index at all, or BYTE_x8 to fetch a BYTE while scaling
the index by 8. Updated all backends to make this work. [Aaron Giles]

that's used after the title screen. [Angelo Salese]

EEPROM device now looks for a matching memory region to fetch the
default values from. Fixed bug in ROM loader that would change the
memory region flags to match devices with no address bus. Updated
groundfx to use the new default loading scheme. [Aaron Giles]

Reworked the hng64 polygon chunk recovery code to be more crash-proof.
Documented what's known about the 3d data much better. Fixed vertex
ROM loading for fatfurwa and buriki. [Andrew Gardner]

Converted rtc65271 to a device. [Aaron Giles]

Added "new" command -listdevices (or -ld) to list the devices attached
to a driver. I notice that MESS has a command with the same name;
hopefully the behaviors can be combined eventually. [Aaron Giles]

Got rid of explicit resource tracking for state saving. Now we just
use the auto_ allocators, since registration is restricted to
initialization. [Aaron Giles]

Moved machine->gfx initialization out of the video module and into
drawgfx. We now call this before devices are initialized, so that
devices can dynamically append to the machine->gfx as needed.
[Aaron Giles]

#include "deprecat.h" [Atari Ace]

Aleck 64: Implemented player 2 inputs [Angelo Salese]

Added a PCB layout for M.Kramer's Black Jack Poker, based on a hi-res
pic. Also added undumped devices as NO_DUMP. [Roberto Fresca]

Added common driver data struct to timeplt.c, tutankhm.c, junofrst.c,
pooyan.c, rallyx.c and rocnrope.c (these drivers all use
audio/timeplt.c). As a side effect, we now have save states in
junofrst.c and rallyx.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Converted atari drivers over to using driver_data for the most
part. Some shared systems still exist with globals, but this
tackles the atarigen module and the variables local to each
driver. [Aaron Giles]

Added validity check that AM_BASE_MEMBER and AM_SIZE_MEMBER items
point within the bounds of the driver_data structure. [Aaron Giles]

Fixed DMADAC wrapping behavior. [Tim Schuerewegen]

drivers accordingly. [Fabio Priuli]

Added tilemap_create_device() function which lets you create a tilemap
from within a device, and be passed that device in your callback.
[Aaron Giles]

Converted Signetics 2636 video chip to be a MAME device and updated
drivers using it accordingly. [Fabio Priuli]

Memory system changes: [Aaron Giles]
 - Memory banks are now referenced by tag rather than index.
    Changed all memory_bank_* functions to specify a tag.
    Bulk-converted existing banks to be tagged "bank##" in
    order to ensure consistency. However, going forward, the
    tags don't matter, so please name them something useful.

 - Added AM_BANK_READ/AM_BANK_WRITE macros to let you specify
    bank tags. Also changed AM_ROMBANK and AM_RAMBANK macros to
    accept tags as well.

 - Added new functions memory_install_read_bank_handler and
    memory_install_write_bank_handler to install banks by tag
    name, similar to input ports.

 - Changed internals of memory system to dynamically allocate
    all banks. The first time a bank with an unknown tag is
    installed, a new bank object is created and tracked
    internally.

 - Removed SMH_* macros entirely. In their place are a series of
    expanded macros and new memory installation helpers. Some
    mappings below (not all are new):

     AM_READ(SMH_RAM)                       -> AM_READONLY
     AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM)                      -> AM_WRITEONLY
     AM_READWRITE(SMH_RAM, SMH_RAM)         -> AM_RAM
     AM_READ(rhandler) AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM)    -> AM_RAM_READ(rhandler)
     AM_READ(SMH_RAM) AM_WRITE(whandler)    -> AM_RAM_WRITE(whandler)
     AM_DEVREAD(tag, rhandler) AM_WRITE(SMH_RAM)
                                  -> AM_RAM_DEVREAD(tag, rhandler)
     AM_READ(SMH_RAM) AM_DEVWRITE(tag, whandler)
                                  -> AM_RAM_DEVWRITE(tag, whandler)

     AM_READ(SMH_ROM)                       -> AM_ROM
     AM_WRITE(SMH_ROM)                      -> (was a no-op)

     AM_READ(SMH_NOP)                       -> AM_READNOP
     AM_WRITE(SMH_NOP)                      -> AM_WRITENOP
     AM_READWRITE(SMH_NOP, SMH_NOP)         -> AM_NOP

   For dynamic memory handler installation of the various types,
   use the new functions:

     memory_unmap_read()
     memory_unmap_write()
     memory_unmap_readwrite() -- unmaps a section of address space

     memory_nop_read()
     memory_nop_write()
     memory_nop_readwrite() -- nops a section of address space

 - Cleaned up the internals of the address_map_entry structure, and
    also normalized the way the address map macros work to remove a
    lot of redundancy.

 - Renamed functions: memory_install_read/write_port_handler to
    memory_install_read/write_port

 - Memory shares are now specified by tag instead of index.
    The AM_SHARE() macro now takes a tag parameter. All existing
    shares have been bulk renamed to "share##". However, the name
    does not matter, so please use descriptive tags going forward.

 - Added tag validation for bank and share tags.

 - Added flag to tagmap_add functions that optionally will
    replace existing objects if a duplicate is found.

 - Internal code shuffling. Address maps initialized internally
    now call the same installation handlers that drivers do for
    dynamic installation. Cleaned up some parameter ordering and
    error detection.

 - Added new functions:

     memory_install_ram() to assign a un-named bank to a region and
       specify a pointer to where the RAM lives. If this is called in
       the DRIVER_INIT function or MACHINE/SOUND/VIDEO_START
       functions, then it is permissible to specify NULL, in which
       case the memory system will allocate memory and register it
       for save states.

     memory_install_rom() is like the above except that it only
       installs a read handler.

     memory_install_writeonly() is like the above except that it
     only installs a write handler.

 - Updated several instances in the code that were assigning banks
    to these sorts of static RAM regions and simplified the code.

 - Apply mirrors and global masks at address map detokenizing time
    rather than later.

Fixed minor cycle counting inaccuracy in Z80 core. [Marshmellow]

Added the concept of device contracts. A contract is a well-defined
set of interfaces supported by a device, and identified by a unique
string identifier. A device may support any number of contracts,
described in a list via the DEVICE_CONTRACT_LIST* macros. The purpose
of contracts is to provide a means for devices to expose a standard
set of interfaces to other parts of the system. For example, the PCI
device should expose a contract that includes functions for
configuration register access, and 32-bit I/O. Then any device with
a PCI interface should implement the PCI contract, so that the PCI
bus device can route things appropriately. [Aaron Giles]

Removed the MDRV_<devtype>_REMOVE macros. A simple DEVICE_REMOVE
works now that device types are not needed. [Aaron Giles]

Verified clocks on Samurai Aces pcb. [Corrado Tomaselli]

Changed several internal interfaces to be more consistent, namely
(1) passing device_config as a const always, (2) passing
running_machine as a non-const always, (3) eliminating running_machine
where possible, (4) passing machine/device first, and (5) preferring
(screen, bitmap, cliprect) over (machine, bitmap, cliprect) when all
are needed for rendering. [Atari Ace]

 - fixed CI and CYI to compute imm-reg instead of reg-imm
 - added masking of the PA register upon RTI/RTS to prevent bogus
    PC values

Fixes compilation with ARM7_DEBUG_CORE enabled.
[Reijo Tomperi, Oliver Stoeneberg]

Added support for parsing horizont.ini or vertical.ini based on the
game’s orientation. [Krick]

Made a pass at shuffling/improving the system 16 and 18 bootlegs.
Some games are probably more broken now, but they are better
structured for future improvements. [David Haywood]
