New version of the multiple arcade machine emulator for PC.
Changelog:
MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
----------------------------------------
progear0123u1gra [stephh]
Source Changes
-----------------------------
csk.c driver improvements: [Mirko Buffoni]
* Added DIPLOCATION macros to all Dip Switches. All DSW are verified through test mode.
* Fixed custom_io_r which is used for protection but also for keyboard input.
Fixed build with external zlib. [R. Belmont]
Completed old-style colortable removal. Removed MDRV_COLORTABLE_LENGTH macro. Updated uigfx to display new-style color tables if present. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Reorganized/minor clean-ups to Mad Alien driver. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed Xenophobe sprite aligment. [Derek Ledbetter]
Converted SNES (except debug code) to RGB32 as it was a serious abuser of the palette system. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added colortable_palette_get_size() to emupal. Added some more asserts to catch errors. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Fixed Dip Switches (especially coinage) and inputs for 'mpatrol' and 'troangl' (and their clones). Tried to "unify" the two drivers (I still think that some things can be merged). Added iremipt.h source file (same purpose as taitoipt.h). Fixed Dip Switches and inputs for 'alpha1v'. The game is now more playable to me but I left the GAME_NOT_WORKING flag as I think there are still some things to look at). [stephh]
Changed IREM cpu decryption to be 'real-time' (it's a feature of the CPU). Moved decryption table setup to 'config' struct for the CPU. Added latest tables from robiza, making Risky Challenge playable, promoted it to working. Told CPU core to not decrypt code after brkn instruction, enabling it again on iret, allowing me to remove several 'don't decrypt range' hacks in the code. Updated all drivers accordingly. Currently the disassembly is a bit weird now, this will need looking at. [David Haywood, robiza]
Added and hooked up AICA (Naomi sound chip). Naomi boot sounds now play. Since it's an SCSPx2 with ADPCM instead of FM it's already feature-complete except filter envelopes. A bug in the ARM7 core causes incorrect pan/level values to be computed in e.g. the Naomi SOUND TEST menu. This is not a defect in the AICA. [ElSemi, Deunan Knute, kingshriek, R. Belmont]
Fixed Dip Switches (especially coinage) and inputs for '10yard' (and its clones). Tried to "unify" the driver with m52 and m57 drivers (I still think that some things can be merged). [stephh]
Fixed unaligned 32-bit reads in the ARM7 core. [R. Belmont]
Fixed misaligned backgrounds in mpatrol caused by recent changes. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Minor code cleanups. Added static/const where appropriate, plus some include fixes. Reverted some of the changes to build.mak from u1 which made some MSVC builds fail, and adjusted/optimized an m10.c gfx_layout. Added some missing cores to cpuintrf.c, sndintrf.c and added some missing #if's to 5220intf.c. [Atari Ace]
Fixed one or two dips in the mirage.c driver and found the "service" switch and likely start of inputs. [Brian Troha]
Removed expand_machine_driver(). Replaced with machine_config_alloc() and machine_config_free(). Updated all call sites. Normalized info.c style and simplified some of the code. [Aaron Giles]
Renamed machine->drv to machine->config to reduce overloading of the term "driver". [Aaron Giles]
Simplified collision detection in taitosj and tank8. [Zsolt Vasvari]
New module: devintrf.c/.h. Implements a generic device interface similar to the sound and CPU interfaces. [Aaron Giles]
New module: mconfig.c/.h. Moved all machine_config and MDRV_* macros here, out of driver.c/.h. Added MDRV macros for adding/removing/configuring devices. [Aaron Giles]
Deprecated the following constants because global constants that pretend to document things but which are only guesses are dumb:
- DEFAULT_60HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_30HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_REAL_60HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_REAL_30HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_60HZ_3S_VBLANK_WATCHDOG
- DEFAULT_30HZ_3S_VBLANK_WATCHDOG
Updated all drivers to explicitly specify the equivalent bogus times. Added comments for the "REAL" VBLANK durations to indicate that they are not accurate. [Aaron Giles]
Improved some DIP switches, added some DIP locations, replaced IPT_COINx with IPT_SERVICE1 where appropiate, and simplified some control definitions in the following drivers: alpha68k.c, actfancr.c, aeroboto.c, aerofgt.c, aliens.c, ambush.c, amidar.c, amspdwy.c, angelkds.c, appoooh.c, arabian.c, argus.c, arkanoid.c. [RansAckeR]
Connected the Shadow Warriors buttons like they are wired on the original pcb (which is jamma). [Corrado Tomaselli]
Added DIP locations to: cclimbr2 , legion, terraf, ultennis, cheesech, stonebal, stoneba2, scessjoe, ashnojoe, asteroid, llander, llander1, astdelux. [RansAckeR]
Fixed multi-session crash with Namco System 2 games. [Atari Ace]
Improved Print Club DIP switches. [Edward Swiftwood]
Fixed a few corner cases in the 6840 emulation based on running the MPU4 test ROMs, and added the ability to dynamically alter the external clock frequencies in game. [James Wallace]
Changed the 6850 core to allow dynamic RX and TX clock alteration, to at least try to remove a few of the MPU4 timing problems. [James Wallace]
Updated documentation of the MPU4 Video board. Added documentation of the Cosmic Chasm crystals, and merged the memory maps. [James Wallace]
Fixed validation fail of '_mul_32x32_hi()' and '_mulu_32x32_hi()' inline function when compiled GCC v3.3.5 with I686 optimization. [KO Myung-Hun]
Verified clocks on Rainbow Islands and Rambo 3 and Raiden 2. Reverted sound OSC of Truxton 2 to 27mhz/8 since the original OST runs at this speed. The pcb I measured the previous clock was 28mhz/8 and it's a different pcb version from the common one. Since mame doesn't support multiple OSC I prefer to use the 27mhz one. [Corrado Tomaselli]
Fixed some incorrect rom dumps for Double Dragon 3 (Some of the dumps were based of the bootleg and not the original.) and updated the name and location to actually match that of a real board. [Kevin Eshbach]
Added DIP locations to Combatribes and Battletoads. [Kevin Eshbach]
Added video_screen_update_now(int scrnum) to force a screen update up to the current beam position. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Pulled remaining vestiges of old-style colortables: [Aaron Giles]
* PALETTE_INIT no longer has a colortable parameter
* removed game_colortable and remapped_colortable from machine_config
* updated a few stragglers that still referenced these fields
* removed tile_draw_colortable from tilemap.c
Changed the input port tokens to use a union instead of casting everything to FPTR. In the future, C99-enabled compilers will be able to achieve type safety with designated initializers. [Aaron Giles]
Added i8749 CPU variant for MESS. [Curt Coder]
Added missing SH4 instructions and bugfixed the FPU. Improved Naomi I/O board emulation and added working controls. [Samuele Zannoli]
jedi.c improvements: [Zsolt Vasvari]
- Complete memory map
- Crystals
- Driver state structure
- Text layer is rendered at the same time as the background
Reorganized Qix driver (driver state, decoupled audio section, etc.) [Zsolt Vasvari]
Changed all drivers using the MC6845 chip to use the new device interface. Removed mc6845_config. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Reorganized Gameplan driver. Changed Trivia Quest use the Gameplan video code. Added crystal for Gameplan pixel clock. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed the unnecessary pen array lookup from some INDEXED16 drivers. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Removed the per-screen palette_base. This was an idea that never really worked out, nor have we really needed it. [Aaron Giles]
Defined a new device type VIDEO_SCREEN. Currently this has no live functionality, but merely serves as a placeholder/identifier for video screens. Eventually some of the screen management code may move into the start/stop/reset functions. [Aaron Giles]
Changed MDRV_SCREEN_ADD to specify a screen type (RASTER, VECTOR, LCD for the moment). Removed the older VIDEO_TYPE_RASTER and VIDEO_TYPE_VECTOR; this information is now determined by walking the screen list. [Aaron Giles]
Changed MDRV_SCREEN_* macros to build up VIDEO_SCREEN devices rather than storing values in the screen[] array. Removed the screen[] array from machine_config. Modified all code referencing Machine->config->screen[] and changed it to iterate over the devices using the new video_screen_first() and video_screen_next() functions. [Aaron Giles]
Removed implicit screen #0. This means that ALL DRIVERS MUST EXPLICITLY DECLARE THEIR SCREENS. Updated all drivers to do so. While there, grouped all MDRV_SCREEN_* parameters together. Also removed unnecessary VIDEO_TYPE_RASTER and VIDEO_TYPE_VECTOR. Also removed VBLANK and bitmap format information from vector games. This was painful and very tedious. [Aaron Giles]
Changed game information to display info about all screens. [Aaron Giles]
Changed Beathead driver to use partial updates instead of caching scanline level information. [Zsolt Vasvari]
Added state_save_combine_module_and_tag(). Its purpose is to create a unique name for state saving purposes in modules that are tag based (no index). [Zsolt Vasvari]
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Champion Poker [Mirko Buffoni]
Risky Challenge [robiza]
New clones added

New build for Macintosh.
Info:
Well I bought a MacBook, and it seems I can still build G4 SDLMAME builds just fine on it (it runs on rosetta) so I'm assuming it runs on a G4 also. Posting a up to date binary here, along with a updated Intel binary, since the guy over at mametesters hasn't updated his build in quite some time. Enjoy.

New release of the Microbee emulator for PC.
Changelog:
New for this release:
* LibDsk has been added allowing direct floppy access, various disk image formats DSK, EDSK, TD0, CopyQM, etc. Other disk drivers under Windows and Unices are also possible.
* Added --side1as0 option to allow disks in LibDsk to correctly read side 1 when the sector header contains side 0. Microbee DS80 and DS40 formats can have this problem depending on the format program that was used.
* Added a sector size probing option --psec to access protected floppy disks and edsk images.
* Added emulation of the FDC write track command. Format and Init programs now work when using LibDsk.
* Added +fdc_wtd and +fdc_wth write track debug output options.
* Model information and drive status now appears in the program's title bar.
* Added A libdskrc file containing common Microbee formats for LibDsk.
* Re-instated the alpha+ --vdu option functionality. Default is 2K for VDU memory (no banking), 8K banked can be selected.
* Re-instated the paging of the text output for the --help option in Windows as default buffers in the console are not large enough.
Fixed:
* Alpha+ VDU colour bank selection issue resolved by defaulting to 2K of VDU RAM instead of 8K.
* FDC status results.

New updates of the Pinball machine emulators for PC.
Changelog:
Version 1.59 (February 17th, 2008)
----------------------------------
- HSTD displayed in all player panels for GTS1 games
- Sound support for Zaccaria prototype games (strike, skijump, spacecty)
Version 1.59 (February 17, 2008) - "The lost sounds"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And yet another bugfix release - just a little more than two weeks later!
Gottlieb's System 3 has now access to all of the content of the OKI chip's speech & sound roms, enabling some long-lost quotes like "Jackpot!" on Stargate, or "You need another coin" on Barb Wire. At the same time the sampling speed was adjusted, for it was playing too fast before, and made some game soundtack sound real bad (eg. Wipeout)!
Some preliminary sound was added for the Zaccaria 1-player games. It probably sounds nothing like the original, for lack of comparison sound clips mostly!
A few clones and new games were added, for instance the "Addams Family Values" coin dropper, and the newly-found Rock Encore. So nothing spectacular here. wink.gif
Changes:
*** CORE/CPU ***
Full OKI 6295 rom support for Gottlieb System 3 games
Decreased sampling frequency by 5.6% for games using the OKI 6295 chip
HSTD flashing in all player score panels for Gottlieb System 1 games
Preliminary sound support for Zaccaria prototype machines
*** ROM SUPPORT ***
Added Addams Family Values (coin dropping game)
Added Rock Encore (different sound version for Premier's "Rock")
Added NBA Fastbreak U2 sound version 0.4 (gives a warning but still plays)
Added Baby Pacman home roms by Okaegi

February 22nd, 2008, 22:35 Posted By: JKKDARK
New version of the TRS-80 Model 100/102/200 emulator for Windows, Linux and Macintosh.
Chnagelog:
1. Fixed ReMem emulation in both Normal and MMU modes. Memory mapping now consistent with an actual ReMem. Emulation supports only the latest ReMem FW version (64, 65, 66). In MMU mode, both sector access and direct memory access work properly. Also fixed some bugs with the the Rampac emulation.
2. Added configuration page for ReMem Map display and setup.
3. Added support for M10 Emulation.
4. Added breakpoint capability to CPURegs window. Up to 4 breakpoints can be specified and enabled or disabled.
5. Added Remote control interface via sockets. The socket interface is enabled via a command line switch to specify the socket port, such as "virtualt -p 20000". The protocol is simple text command and response with async text messages sent for breakpoint and otional screen output messages. See Help for full details.
6. Added serial I/O support under Linux. The current implementation has a few "hard coded" port names in the port list, but allows the user to specify an "Other Host Port" name to specify the serial device.
7. Modified the main emulatin loop so it uses fewer CPU cycles. Previous versions consumed up to 100% CPU cycles causing heat issues and reduced battery life on laptops. Added new Speed menu selections to allow finer setting of emulation speed vs. CPU utilization.
8. Fixed a bug with the emulation of interrupts and with the extended opcode DSUB flags.
9. Added a vt_client project / application to communicate with VirtualT socket interface using a very simple command line interface.
10. Added a "Cold Boot" option to the Emulation menu.
11. Added content to the Help system.
12. Transitioned the Windows development environment to Visual Studio 2005. The project files are no longer compatible with Visual Studio 6.
13. Added a feature to patch the ROM on load to show VirtualT version in the MENU. This can be disabled in the "Memory Options" menu.
14. Added auto detection and creation of missing emulation directories. For new installations, all emulation directories will be created and ROM images copied from the ROMs directory.
15. Patched all ROM images with Y2K fix.

February 22nd, 2008, 22:33 Posted By: JKKDARK
New version of the PC-Engine emulator for Windows 2000, XP and Vista.
Changelog:
- The access processing to the ADPCM memory was modeled on a real machine. "Tengai Makyou - ZIRIA" came to operate.
In "Kagami no Kuni no Legend", Nori-P came to talk when the name was input.
- The timing of the CD-DA sound processing was elaborately brought close to a real machine. Moreover, the error margin by the PC environment was shortened.
- The processing speed and timing were elaborately brought close to a real machine. In "Cosmic Fantasy 2", the problem that the screen had shaken by one frame was solved.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

New version of the NeoGeo CD emulator for Windows.
Changelog:
* Fixed a stupid bug with the cache, never use xor to see if a memory area was changed. The + I now use is still not perfect, but it's much better, and it should be enough for what it's used for.
* Fixed a possible crash when loading a savegame because I had forgotten to turn the cd music off before restoring a savegame...
* Add a "turbo" key : the default is del, you can change it in the gui, it just toggles the limit speed setting. If you are not limited by vsync, you can reach 700 fps in neoraine with yuv overlays when disabling the speed limitation with this key!

The latest version is 0.123. Note that this fully-packaged version is deprecated due to the fast-moving nature of MESS development, but I’ll update it on integer MESS releases.
New in this version:
* all the stuff from SDLMAME 0.123 plus some nice core updates.

Improved

Removed
* URL label link on top of game documents window/panel
Files deleted:
-> Folder: "\resources\main_icons\" "leftpanel_root.ico"
Folder and all its files "\resources\tray_icons\" deleted
New MAME snaps filename format. Only the old "fullgamename0000.ext" is supported from now on (use the new "Convert Snapshots" feature to avoid renaming all files manually)
Icon files from favorites feature. No more custom favorites icons
Added
* Multi-screenshots layouts!!!!!!!!! View up to 3 screenshots at the same time
-> Features:
- set what image types to use for each layout using the "Customize" menu item in the new "layouts" tool bar button

- features disabled multi-screenshots is enabled: "filename / resolution label"; "change image types"
- use the new "Reset Screenshots Sizes" menu item (images popup menu) to center the splitters into the screenshots preview area (current layout only!)
- use the same image type in more than one place
* New Delphi component, "RichEditURL". URL detection is within the game document text now smile.gif No HTML tags support though.
* New setting: "Set All Games as Available (Scan Games)" (preferences screen) See the help button next to this setting for more info...

- Use this to convert all your "gamename\0000.png" snapshots to "fullgamename0000.png"
