MAME 0.99u2 Opzioni

[PaolinoF15]

0.99u2
------

Prior versions of MAME have excluded some drivers (primarily gambling-
related) for philosophical reasons. Since these games are legitimately at
risk of being lost to the ages, and many of them have strong similarities
to the other sorts of games MAME emulates, it has been decided to allow their
inclusion going forward. The criteria for inclusion in MAME is now simply
"any primarily video based arcade machine, driven by one of more CPUs," and
should relieve any confusion surrounding this issue going forward.



MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
----------------------
namcos1099u1red [Aaron Giles]
mcr3099u1yel [Aaron Giles]
zaxxon088u2gre [Derrick Renaud]
sprint1097gre [Derrick Renaud]
sdgndmps058gre [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
gunforc2058gre [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]



Source Changes
--------------
More input port cleanup: [Aaron Giles]
- Fixed input port handlers that used the port_tag_to_handler calls.
- Simplified the reading/writing of input ports so they work more reliably.
- Only write changed settings to the .cfg files.
- Fixed saving of analog port configurations.

Updated to the latest zlib. [Atari Ace]

Added flipscreen to Pop Bingo. Added some disable registers for tilemaps/
sprites (fixing the bug in lastday demo). [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Fixed some video bugs in Party Time. [David Haywood]

Adjusted Namco CUS30 noise frequency. [BUT]

Fixed input ports in djmain. [BUT]

Several Konami improvements: [R. Belmont]
- Added support for "external memory address" registers on the YMZ280B,
which can be used to read the contents of attached ROM or RAM.
- Hooked up the mask ROM tests in the service menu - both the tile
character ROMS and the sound ROMs now can be tested.
- Added secondary control register.
- Hooked up IRQ control.
- Renamed ROMs for both games to include PCB location information.

Some improvements to the DECO cassette games: [Juergen Buchmueller]
- Treasure Island graphics ROMs (overlay board) mapped according to
findings by debugging the game code.
- Swapped image names for ctislnd2 and ctislnd3 to match the driver names;
ctislnd3 is the not yet working set; removed IMPERFECT_GRAPHICS flag.
- Found bitswap for Zeroize type #3 dongle; found hack to get it running w/o
the dongle ROM by debugging the game code; changed year to 1983; removed
NOT_WORKING flag.

SHARC/Model 2 updates: [Ville Linde]
- Reworked the SHARC internal ram implementation so that multiple instances
of the core work.
- Added data address space
- Added coprocessor input and output FIFO's to Model 2.
- Updated Konami zr107, gticlub, nwk-tr, hornet to work with the SHARC
changes

Seibu SPI improvements: [Ville Linde]
- Fixed sprite priority issues
- Added support for pen-based alpha to sprites and tilemaps. It's currently
using fixed alpha table for all games, but this seems to break some
games, so it probably isn't correct.

Fixed the discrete sound 555 timer modules when using actual DC mode.
[Derrick Renaud]

Added low-frequency oscillator (LFO) to YMF271 emulator. [Ville Linde]

Improvements to the dcon driver: [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
- Fixed sprites - sprites priorities
- Fixed sprites - tilemaps priorities
- Added wrap around and flipy in sprites

Added MNG recording support (shift+F12 by default). [Mathis Rosenhauer]

Fixed 6309 division instructions overflow behavior on the HD6309.
[Tim Lindner]

Fixed more YMF271 issues: [Ville Linde]
- The mix buffer pointer was not being reset between two 2-operator FM
sounds, causing missing sounds.
- Fixed some bugs in the phase modulation of FM sounds

[veganiele]

[Kold666]

sarei pero' curioso di sapere come decidono quali gambling games siano da supportare e quali no...

Tempo fa avevo dumpato Chewingum da una pcb datami da stekka51. E' un raro gambling italiano su hw galaxian...

oppps....e' stato incluso...

[Mamegod]

Mmm a me i gmabling machine son sempre piaciuti più che altro come dinamiche di gioco

Ovviamente non ho un PC con uscita per i gettoni o token

Scherzi a parte , mi fà piacere questa reintroduzione , anche perchè ormai numerosi altri emulatori si son occupati con il source del Mame di questa specifica tipologia di macchine.

il codice non è stato preso dall'AdvanceMAME

[vomitino]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

E' incredibile! Un grande ritorno!

[Mameremember]

Per me hanno fatto bene.

Certo anche per me,ma ora hack a parte che differenza ci sarà con il p**s?

[vomitino]

diciamo che..... la differenza si è "accorciata" di qualche elemento....

[Mameremember]

Quindi una release che passerà alla storia!

[Insert coin]

  Certo anche per me,ma ora hack a parte che differenza ci sarà con il p**s?

La butto lì:

I filtri grafici, la modalità console per i giochi Neogeo, il supporto al bios di Razoola..etc..

Tutte opzioni cmq che è possibile mantenere disattivate...

PS: buon ferragosto!

[ciuppy]

Champion Skill!
Quanti soldi spesi....non troppi però!
A parte questi giochi...ho letto delle migliorie alla cpu sharc di Ville...presuppongo che sia diciamo un trampolino di lancio per implementare la parte 3d dei giochi model 2?

[Mameremember]

Ma il motivo per cui sono state introdotte di nuovo le gambling nessuno lo sa?

[scuore]

Penso che il motivo sia questo...

[Mameremember]

Certo questo lo avevo letto, ma come mai prima non la pensavano così?
