Converted context struct to go through a pointer - TMS32031 CPU: Fixed core so that it doesn't call the debugger if not enabled - MIPS3 recompiler: Don't generate compare interrupts unless the compare register was written to; fixes hangs in blitz, calspeed and others. Stash jump target address before executing delay slot; also, don't update link register until delay slot has finished executing; fixes hang in gauntleg. Marked IDT instructions for R4650 only. Accounted for time taken in throwaway likely branch slots. Fixed jalr to respect the correct link register. Fixed c.eq, c.lt, c.le to fail if unordered. Fixed swxc1, sdxc1 to use the correct source register (fixes many Gauntlet problems). Fixed CCR31 display in debugger. Fixed LWXC1/LDXC1; corrects gauntleg camera. - NiLe sound (ST-0026): Fixed pitch calculation (see Super Real Mahjong P6) - Midway DCS Audio sound: Fixed some save state problems in audio\dcs.c. Still comes out garbled on a load, however. Extended memory.c to support up to 4096 banks. - S14001A sound . Improved filtering to be more accurate to the chip . Changed internal audio renderer to produce 4 bit sound as the real chip does . Moved filter outside of the main rendering loop into the glue code . Note: With this update, you may hear a whining noise that was not previously present. This is accurate to the chip! The real chip would almost always have an analog filter placed on its output to suppress this whine. - alg.c: Fixed access violation when taking a snapshot - asteroid.c: Fixed assertions in all sets - calomega.c . Unified MACHINE_RESET for systems 903/904/905 . Created a new handler to manage the first 4 bits of system 905's PIA1 portB as input mux selector (905 is still not working) .

Otherwords, several operations which doesn't exist in older function and added recently are now disabled. Separated load_cheat_code() to 3 indipendent functions and added new cheat options, "Load New/Standard/Old Format Code" (Default : load all format codes). NOTE: Delete all cheat options in the database before start or reload default options (Shift + Reload key) in cheat general menu. Added format strings structure to accept huge size strings in loading a database to prevent from breaking other strings. Changed Link in new format. Label code is now "Link-Label" and sub-label is "Label-Sub-Link", "Standard-Link" is no longer label. Added choose_label_index() to manage label selection. Fixed build_label_index_table() to prevent from crashing and disabled to build label index table in case of standard/old format. Fixed memory free problem in case of standard/old code. Fixed several reported/found bugs. - Compiling: Fixed assertion in astring.c when compiled against MSVC and the string is UTF-8 - Debugger .

Fixed input port read validation. The previous check was way too aggressive, and prevented CUSTOM_INPUT handlers from reading other ports. This one sets an "all clear" flag as soon as the configuration data is loaded. . More conversion to input_port_read: Updated the whole mid*unit family of drivers + seattle & zeus which shared some input code. Updated most namco systems + a couple of old drivers sharing the input handling, minus namcos22.

Cleaned up usage of these throughout the code to cache pointers rather than calling these functions repeatedly during loops. . Cleaned up most of the machine stuff in src/emu/machine. There is a bit left to clean up, but it's mostly stuck at some interfaces now. . Cheat engine: Updated cheat system [Shimapong]: Merged 3 different search menu functions to search_main_menu(). Added new cheat options, "Vertical/Horizontal Key Repeat Speed". NOTE: Delete all cheat options in the database before start or reload default options (Shift + Reload key) in cheat general menu. Changed assignment of Entry for Activation Key and Pre-enable command code. Now there are check the tag in comment field instead of index number. But it's only for new format command and old is as before. Added tag output in save_activation_key() and save_pre_enable(). Cleaned up save_cheat_options() to output description. Changed memory read function in watchpoints. No longer "Debugger" watchpoint mis-hit "Cheat" watchpoint. Fixed several reported/found bugs. Renamed funcitons/enum based on coding guidlines. All functions are completed in this update. . Explicitly disabled overlays for non-native snapshots (native snapshots already had them disabled). . Fixed input port read validation. The previous check was way too aggressive, and prevented CUSTOM_INPUT handlers from reading other ports. This one sets an "all clear" flag as soon as the configuration data is loaded. - Compiling: Fixed make MSVC_BUILD=1 -j2 and corrected an oversight in the cross-build support - Debugger . Changed debugger so it does not stop while we are waiting for a pending event to occur. This eliminates some confusion during reset and state loading. . Removed DEBUGGER flag from makefile and ENABLE_DEBUGGER macro from the source code. All MAME builds now include the debugger, and it is enabled/disabled exclusively by the runtime command-line/ini settings. This is a minor speed hit for now, but will be further optimized going forward. . Changed the 'd' suffix in the makefile to apply to DEBUG builds (versus DEBUGGER builds as it did before) . Changed machine->debug_mode to machine->debug_flags. These flags now indicate several things, such as whether debugging is enabled, whether CPU cores should call the debugger on each instruction, and whether there are live watchpoints on each address space. Redesigned a significant portion of debugcpu.c around the concept of maintaining these flags globally and a similar, more complete set of flags internally for each CPU. All previous functionality should work as designed but should be more robust and faster to work with. . Added new debugger hooks for starting/stopping CPU execution. This allows the debugger to decide whether or not a given CPU needs to call the debugger on each instruction during the coming timeslice. Also added new debugger hook for reporting exceptions. Proper exception breakpoints are not yet implemented. 0.125u6 - New games: --- - New Working games: Alien Storm (set 4, World, 2 Players, FD1094 317-0154) - New clones: The Combatribes (Italian bootleg), Terra Force (bootleg with additional Z80), Turbo Out Run (cockpit, FD1094 317-0109) and Wonder Boy III - Monster Lair (set 5, System 16A, FD1089A 317-xxxx) - MIPS3 recompiler .

Updated MIPS and PowerPC code to make use of it. - Sharp LR35902 CPU: Renamed "Nintendo Z80GB" GameBoy CPU core to "Sharp LR35902". - bagman.c: Added 2nd AY-3-8910A sound to Botanic, Pickin' and Squash (Itisa) - cps1.c . Changed all games after Street Fighter 2 CE to have a 12mhz clock. Verified on Mega Man and Quiz & Dragons (original kits with plastic case) . Changed 68000 CPU1 clock speed to 12MHz in Capcom World 2, Mega Man - The Power Battle and clone Rockman - The Power Battle (CPS1 Japan 950922), Pnickies, Quiz & Dragons (Japan 940921) and Quiz Tonosama no Yabou 2 Zenkoku-ban - crystal.c . Progress on protection simulation for 2 Crystal System titles. Still not working. . Fixed manufacturer in Office Yeo In Cheon Ha . Fixed visible area, year and manufacturer in Top Blade V - ddragon3.c . The Combatribes: Fixed the mess dips location. Added the missing dips (now are 8x2). Fixed the "Stage Clear Energy" dips. Adjusted the frame rate from 60Hz to around 57Hz as reported on mametester ID 00417. Adjusted OKI frequency to 1MHz (according to recording on mametester ID 00181). Adjusted the volume (according to recording on mametester ID 00181 and 01441). . Double Dragon 3: Added dips location in all sets. Added the missing dips (now are 8x2) on clone 'Double Dragon 3 - The Rosetta Stone (bootleg)'. Adjusted the frame rate from 60 to around 57Hz as reported on mametester ID 00417. Adjusted OKI frequency to 1MHz (according to recording on mametester ID 00181). Adjusted the volume (according to recording on mametester ID 00181 and 01441). - gstriker.c . Some protection improvements for Tecmo World Cup '94 and V Goal Soccer . Fixed 68000 CPU1 clock speed in V Goal Soccer - konamigx.c . Set screen refresh rate to 58Hz (parameters from developer manual are not 100% correct) . Removed sound CPU clock hack. Fixed 68000 CPU2 clock speed. - tecmosys.c: Set Tecmo System screen refresh rate to measured 57.4458Hz in Deroon DeroDero and Touki Denshou -Angel Eyes- - wilytowr.c . Added sound emulation to Wily Tower, clone Atomic Boy and Fighting Basketball. . Changed region cpu2 to user1 in Fighting Basketball. . NOTE: Atomic Boy and Fighting Basketball req different interrupt (T1) timing than wilytowr, otherwise music/fx tempo is too fast. Maybe both tmings are wrong - must be verified on real pcb. Extra space in atomboy 2764 eproms is filled with garbage z80 code (taken from one of code roms, but from different offset). Fghtbskt has one AY, but every frame writes 0 to 2nd AY regs - probably leftover from Wily Tower sound driver/code. I'm not sure about sound_status write - maybe it's something else or different data (p1?) is used as status. - Alien Stormed missing FD1094 317-0154 key to clone Alien Storm (set 4, World, 2 Players, FD1094 317-0154) - Game now playable. - Raiden: Fixed Flip_Screen dipswitch in clones raidena, raidenk and raident. - Squash (Itisa) .

Cleaned up software bilinear filtering code. Added bounds checking. Enabled by default for snapshots and movie rendering. . Added a validity check against reading input ports at init time. . Added missing machine parameters and removed deprecat.h usage in a number of drivers/ and machine/ files. . Converted many drivers in the d-j alphabetical range to use input_port_read() instead of input_port_read_indexed(). . Improved AVI and MNG recording to properly duplicate/skip frames as appropriate to keep the correct framerate. . Added new function video_get_view_for_target() which selects a view based on a command-line parameter and the configuration. Changed Windows OSD code to use this instead of its own logic. Changed -snapview to share the logic as well, enabling 'auto' as a -snapview option. . Added new option: -snapsize, which lets you specify the target resolution for snapshots and movies. The existing behavior is still the default: create snapshots and movies at native pixel resolutions. . Added new option: -snapview, which lets you specify a particular view to use for rendering snapshots and movies. The existing behavior is still the default: use a special internal view and render each screen to its own snapshot in its own file. When using this option to specify a view other than 'internal', only a single snapshot file will be produced regardless of how many screens the game has. 0.125u5 - New games: 5x Player's Edge Plus (PS0014, PS0022, PS0043, PS0045 and PS0308), 2x Super Moto (Italy) and SWAT Police - New Non-Working games: Cal Omega - Game 18.7 (Amusement Poker), Euro Jolly X5, Grand Prix, Mystery Number, 2x Shark Party, Squash (Itisa), Victor 21 and Victor 5 - New clones: Head Panic (ver. 0117, 17/01/2000), Tank Force (US, 4 Player) and Videomat (polish bootleg) - New drivers: itgambl3.c and subsino.c - 8085A CPU: Improved 8085 timing and fixed flag calculations based on differences between it and the 8080. - COP420 CPU .

Added support for 4xx protection registers via the MMU. Added TLBH, TLBU, and DEC to the list of registers in the debugger. Turned off "end of transfer" DMA signals in favor of "transfer count 0" signals; fixes memory-to-memory DMA in fiveside. Minor flags optimizations: * Broke CR into several individual bits of state and * Extracted the SO bit from XER into its own state. Cleaned up register tracking implementation. Fixed numerous errors and shortcomings in the tracking. Added support for removing unnecessary XER CA and CR0 computations. Updated UML logging to output new frontend statistics. Added basic cycle counts for longer instructions. Added penalty for polling timebase and decrementer registers. Fixed dependencies in cpu.mak. Reduced address bus width of 4xx series to 31 bits per the documentation. Fixed bug that would jump to incorrect PC after filling the TLB during a mismatch event. Added explicit address truncation to 31 bits for 4xx series. Added new PPCDRC_ACCURATE_SINGLES option, which removes the excessive (and very likely unecessary) extra rounding when performing the "fast" single-precision floating point ops. Fixed TLB filling for 4XX protection ranges. Fixed parameter ordering for masked reads/writes. Added detection of MMU enablement in 403GCX case. Fixed bug in protection bounds violation detection for 4XX. Changed SPU receive model to a push model; updated drivers accordingly. Added macros for setting the SPU transmit handler and sending bytes. Cleaned up ppc.h. Fixed lmw/stmw if rA is one of the loaded/stored registers. Removed unnecessary variables & structure members. Optimized for the XER and CR0 case where XER doesn't need an overflow calculation. - Dynamic Recompiling . DRC UML changes: Separated conditions and flags into two separate fields. Added more extensive per-opcode information. Made validation more thorough using the extended information. Disabled back-end validation for now until it can be revisited using the new tables. Changed GETFLGS encoding so that the mask is in parameter 2 instead of the flags field. Wrote new disassembler based on enhanced opcode info structure. Moved disassembler into drcuml.c and removed old code. Extended disassembler buffer sizes to at least 256 bytes. Removed explicit flag requests from the shorthand opcodes. Added optimization function to drcuml which is called at block end. Added logic to compute the necessary flags based on upcoming opcodes and only select those flags which are required. Added NOP opcode. Added logic to simplify opcodes as much as possible at the UML layer. Removed similar logic in the x86 and x64 back-ends. Added stricter parameter validation for registers and mapvars. Improved disassembly output. Added simple symbol table to the UML for improved disassembly. Changed optional disassembler cache parameter to a drcuml object. Fixed STORE opcode description to allow immediate source operands. . DRC frontend changes: Changed from tracking "live" registers to tracking "necessary" registers. Genericized register tracking to be more flexible. Added previous instruction pointer to opcode descriptions. . x86/x64 back-ends: Added flag support to SEXT, ROLAND, ROLINS, LZCNT opcodes. Fixed bug where sometimes the flags would be corrupted; in particular, we always clobbered the flags for the subfze instruction, which broke the nbapbp camera and some other things. Fixed DIVS/DIVU opcode so they properly compute SZ flags when requested; fixes camera wackiness in nbapbp. Added a "hop" around the prolog of the HANDLE opcode to allow fall-through.

Introduced/updated some include files for files that export functions whose apis will need to be changed to handle machine parameters (cps1.h, decocrpt.h, ms32.h, pgm.h, fd1089.h, konami1.h). In the case of konami.c, renamed the file konami1.c and changed the api and callers to only require one function export. Pulled memory_region*() calls out of for loops and folded the occasional duplicated call. The compiler can't likely infer that the results are constant, so this should be a minor performance win as well. . Made it possible to pass a NULL errorbug to input_port_config_alloc(), this fixes -listxml crashes - Compiling: Added compile-time error if PTR64 is incorrectly set 0.125u3 - New games: ChuckECheese's Match Game, Coronation Street Quiz Game and 'Player's Edge Plus (XP000112) White Hot Aces Poker' - New Working games: beatmania THE FINAL (ver JA-A) - New clones: Atomic Boy (revision B), Dynamite Cop (USA, Model 2C), 5x Fred Flintstones' Memory Match and Mighty!

Fixed description, 68000 CPU1 clock speed, visible area and palettesize - Wily Tower: Fixed Z80 CPU1 and I8039 CPU2 clock speeds - Input port . Fixed PORT_IMPULSE handling. The old code would force inputs to be asserted for at least the number of frames indicated, but keeping the button pressed would keep the input asserted. Now the input is asserted far exactly the number of frames indicated. . Added a PORT_CUSTOM for the eeprom bit reading. Updated several drivers to use that by specifying it in their input ports instead of having a custom read handler that inserted the bit forcefully. Also added a PORT_CUSTOM for the ticket dispenser callback as well. Updated the dcheese driver to use it. Many more drivers can be updated to use these new PORT_CUSTOMs in the future, eliminating hacky input port read handlers. . Changed error reporting during input port detokenization to fill a buffer rather than fatalerror-ing immediately. Should now properly skip over any invalid tokens. Enhanced error detection during input port detokenization to catch duplicate bits. There are a lot of these!

Added new option -snapname which lets you provide a template for how snapshot names are generated. See config.txt for details. . Updated documentation in several drivers based on old readmes and other data that might get lost . UI menu . Fixed behavior of toggle switches so that they don't lose their value when the UI is up. They also can now be used for multibit DIP switch settings in which case they toggle through all the options. Added new functions input_field_select_next_setting() and input_field_select_previous_setting() which can be used to iterate properly through DIP switches. Fixed the behavior for cases where conditional ports are in play (you could get stuck). Changed uimenu.c to call these instead of implementing its own. . Changed uimenu.c so that hitting ENTER on a DIP switch resets it to its default value. This is analagous to how the OSD sliders behave. . Changed text used to specify a menu separator in uimenu.c, and added a #define for the new string. - Compiling . DRC frontend changes: Fixed bug in handling edge case with the PC near the 0 or ~0.

Eliminated a large number of global Machine references. Added machine parameters to IRQ callbacks throughout the system to help remove more. Reduced the number of files needing deprecat.h by ~200. . Changed defaults so that joysticks are enabled standard . Restructured input port internals and cleaned up inptport.c: * Input ports are now maintained hierarchically. At the top level are input ports, which contain a list of fields. Each field represents one or more bits of the port. Certain fields such as DIP switches and configuration switches contain a list of settings, which can be selected. DIP switch fields can also contain a list of DIP switch locations. * Normalized behavior of port overrides (via PORT_INCLUDE or by defining multiple overlapping bits). All fields within a port are kept in strict increasing bit order, so altered DIP switches are now kept in the appropriate order. This addresses MAMETesters bug 01671. * Live port state is now fully separate from configured state. This is manifested in a similar way to devices, where a const list of ports can be managed either offline or live. Each port has a pointer to an opaque set of live state which is NULL when offline or valid when live. Each port also has a running_machine * which is also NULL when offline. * Because of this new arrangement, the conversion from tokens to a list of ports now requires reasonably complex memory allocation, so these port lists must be explicitly allocated and freed (they are not mantained by automatic resource allocation). * Custom and changed callbacks now take a pointer to a field config instead of a running machine. This provides more information about what field triggered the change notification. The machine can be found by referenced field->port->machine. * The inptport.c module has been cleaned up and many ambiguities resolved. Most of this is internal, though it did result in osd_customize_inputport_list() being changed to osd_customize_input_type_list(). The parameter to this function is now a linked list instead of an array, and the structures referenced have been reorganized somewhat. * Updated config.c to pass machine parameters to its callbacks. * Updated validity checks, XML output, and UI system to handle the new structures. * Moved large table of default input settings to a separate include file inpttype.h. * Removed gross hacks in trackfld and hyperspt NVRAM. These may be broken as a result. - MESS: Corrected several bugs in the emulation of the Saturn CPU. These corrections are needed to make new HP48 drivers (to be submitted to MESS imminently) work. - Compiling: Universal DRC system updates and improvements: UML: * Added back-end validation mechanism, and a handful of tests as examples. This will be expanded in the future. * Added several new opcodes: SAVE dumps the entire virtual machine state to a struct, RESTORE applies the data in a struct to the live state, LZCNT counts leading zeros in an operand, XTRACT extracts a bitfield to another register (rlwinm) and INSERT inserts a bitfield into a register (rlwimi). * Added new back-end function get_info() which returns information from the back-end about how many actual registers will be mapped. x86 back-end: * Implemented all new opcodes. * Implemented get_info() function. * Fixed several bugs relating to shifts/rotates and optimizing out cases incorrectly. x64 back-end: * Implemented all new opcodes. * Implemented get_info() function. * Added defines for new Penryn opcodes to x86emit.h. * Added support for ROUNDSS and ROUNDSD on Penryn architectures. This hasn't been tested. If you have a Penryn-based system, give it a try. * Fixed several bugs relating to shifts/rotates and optimizing out cases incorrectly. C back-end: * Implemented all new opcodes. * Implemented get_info() function. * Cleaned up operand sizing. * Fixed several errors that made it not work on bigendian systems. MIPS DRC: * Added some instrumentation for the MMU. To enable it, turn on PRINTF_MMU at the top of the file. * Fixed front-end so that virtual no-op instructions are still targeted as branch targets. * Fixed front-end to mark the beginning of each sequence as needing TLB validation, since any sequence can be jumped to from anywhere. * Redid the MIPS3 TLB implementation. Fixed the exception vector and type handling. Changed the bitfields to directly map from the MIPS TLB format. Added distinction between TLB fill and TLB valid/modified exceptions. * Added separate modes for user, supervisor, and kernel modes. Each mode does proper verification of addresses now and generates address errors for invalid accesses. * Fixed several bugs in the TLB implementation; not everything works yet but it's a lot closer. * Made COP0 access checking mandatory in non-kernel modes. * Fixed several crashes when recompiling virtual no-ops. * Fixed TLB bug where entries for virtual address 0 were present by default. * Fixed bug in the map variable implementation that would sometimes result in incorrectly recovered values.* Implemented IDT instructions. All invalid instruction asserts are now runtime-only. * Added support to map a few common registers to machine registers if the machine supports it. Currently only x64 on Windows has enough free registers to do so, though PowerPC will almost certainly be able to take advantage of this. Gives a minor speedup. * Updated to use INSERT and XTRACT where appropriate. * Cleaned up register usage to free up one machine register for x64 on Linux. - MAMETesters Bugs Fixed .

Every set with PORT_MODIFY used for DIPs (e.g. arknoidj): The modified dipswitches are always listed at the bottom of the list [Interface ID 01671] . YM2608 games (tail2nos, sformula, wc90, mechatt): Only basic music, no more samples [Sound ID 01814] . numanath, numanatj: Graphics corruption on title screen [Graphics ID 01497] . carnevil, sfrush: Seattle games crash on startup [Core ID 01804] 0.125u1 - New games: Card Games?, Pit Boss Superstar and Slots Game? - New Working games: beatmania 7th MIX (ver JA-B), Chase Bombers and World Rally - New Non-Working games: beatmania THE FINAL (ver JA-A) - New clones: Demon's World / Horror Story (early edition), Ghox (set 2), The Legend of Kage, Legendary Wings (bootleg) and Megatouch III (9255-20-06 RON) - New drivers: gatron.c - Support for DS5002FP CPU (World Rally) - TMS51xx/52xx sound . Updated TMS5200/5220 documentation and comments . Fixed the chirp table implementation in both the 51xx and 52xx chips - 6526 CIA: Added feature in READ operation the value can be forced by a external circuit; this feature is necessary for MESS. MAME - Amiga system (alg.c, arcadia.c, cubocd32.c, mquake.c and upscope.c) - cidelsa.c . Added memory address parameter to CDP1802 DMA callbacks and a macro for the CPU interface . Added CDP1852 I/O buffer chip, and used it in Altair/Draco - dynax.c: Fixed crash in games due to missing MSM6242 device - funworld.c: Found the proper algorithm to decrypt the blue TAB PCB in the driver. Replaced the old decryption tables with the proper decryption scheme. Updated technical notes - gaelco.c: Rewroted the Gaelco video ram encryption, which finally makes sense. The key observation was that when decrypting the second word, both encrypted and decrypted bits of the first word are used. Many thanks to Javier Valero for the detailed information that made this possible. - gatron.c: New driver for old Game-A-Tron gambling games hardware: Properly decoded graphics. Proper memory map. Added NVRAM support. Proper Inputs through 8255 PPI I/O chip. Both games are working. Added technical & game notes. - namcona1.c . Fixed the ROZ effect in the driver . ROZ tilemap is actually an additional tilemap . Fixes a bug where a "roz enable" test was causing a normal layer to be rendered with ROZ effects in-game. There is no roz enable register - it's always available for mixing with other tilemaps and sprites. This also adds a missing NAMCO logo zoom/spin effect in Emeralda's attract mode. . Support for scanline effect (fixes invisible dolphin in Emeralda attract mode) . ROZ implementation no longer breaks Numan Athletics pixmap layer . Blitter fixes; xday graphics are now correct . Identified extra communications RAM used by xday (probably to control printer) - tmaster.c . Fixed coin inputs . Added validator input and notes on inputs to the driver - undrfire.c . Changed ES5505 clock rate to 15238050 Hz (30476100/2) . Chase Bombers (Game now playable) . Improved sprites . Hooked up steering wheel input . Unified memory maps and tidied up some code . Under Fire: Removed the undrfire speedup hack - Arcade Classics: Renamed ports and used AM_READ_PORT macros - Black Tiger: Fixed main Z80 clock and sound Z80 clock as verified on PCB - beatmania 7th MIX (ver JA-B): Added missing harddisk image - Game now playable - Columns: Added 'Background Music' dipswitch to clone Columns (US, cocktail) - Emeraldia: Fixed the ROZ effect in Namco NA1 driver. This adds a missing NAMCO logo zoom/spin effect in attract mode. Also added support for scanline effect (this fixes invisible dolphin in attract mode). - Numan Athletics: Fixed the NamcoNA ROZ implementation, this no longer breaks Numan Athletics pixmap layer. - Quiz & Dragons: Fixed rom names - Q*bert's Qubes: Marked the sound roms on Q*Bert's Qubes as bad and changed the flag to imperfect sound. The current sound cpu roms are the same as on a normal Q*Bert board, which is incorrect. At least three sound effects are present in the real qq-snd roms but not the Q*Bert qb-snd ones. - Space Guerrilla: Fixed input and dipswitches - Thunder Hoop: Fixed default dipswitches to give more than 1 life - Varth: Fixed rom names - World Rally: Added DS5002FP CPU2 and rom. Fixed visible area - Game now playable - X-Day 2 . Fixed the NamcoNA blitter, this fixes X-Day 2 graphics . Identified extra communications RAM used by X-Day 2 (probably to control printer) - Zero Wing: Added 'Region' dipswitch to clone (2 player) - Merged memory maps in Big Pro Wrestling, Tail to Nose, Tank Battalion, Tank Busters, Tao Taido, Target Hits and Taxi Driver - Description changes of Janpai Puzzle Choukou, Megatouch 5 (9255-60-01 ROC) and Mahjong Neruton Haikujiradan - MAME . Added uncompressed AVI recording: Extended aviio to be able to write RGB bitmaps. Unfortunately, the only option is fully uncompressed, which means the resulting AVIs are *HUGE* and may not play correctly in realtime due to high data rate. The intention is that these uncompressed AVIs are post-processed by other utilities to compress the video and produce a realtime playable result. Added new command-line option -aviwrite which works just like -mngwrite, except it produces AVIs and streams sound to them. Updated documentation accordingly. Shift+F12 still produces MNGs for now, though this might change in the future. Modified fileio.c to retain the full pathname to the file so that it can be queried while the file is open. . New universal dynamic recompiler system: The central module is drcuml.c, which defines a universal machine language syntax that can be generated by a frontend recompiler and then retargeted via a generic backend interface to any of a number of different architectures. A disassembler for the UML is also included to allow examination of the generated UML code. Currently supported backend architectures include 32-bit x86, 64-bit x86, and a platform-neutral interpreted C backend that can be used as a fallback for platforms without native support. The C backend also performs additional validation to ensure assumptions are met. Along with the new architecture is a new MIPS III/IV recompiler frontend. This frontend has been rewritten from the old x64-specific recompiler to generate UML opcodes instead. This means that the single recompiler can be used to target multiple backend architectures and should in theory produce identical results across all of them. The old 32-bit and 64-bit MIPS recompilers are now officially retired. The new system provides similar performance (within 5% generally) to the old system and has similar compatibility. The only currently known issues are some problems with the two Gauntlet 3D games. . Consolidated opbase variables into a structure and rescoped them so they are hidden for general access. 0.125 - New games: --- - New Working games: Megatouch III (9255-20-01 ROF) - New clones: Megatouch III Tournament Edition (9255-30-01 ROE) and Touchmaster 7000 (v8.04 Standard) - SCSP and AICA sound: Fixed an envelope corner case - m90.c: Added video enable/disable feature - Denjin Makai: Added extra tile banking and layer enable - Dynablaster: Verified clocks on clone Bomber Man PCB which runs on M90 hardware - Megatouch III: Added new 1MB cpu1 rom - Game now playable - P.O.W.: Fixed rom names - namcona1.c: Fixed ROZ centering - MAME . x86/x64 Dynamic recompiler: Added xchg and a few other missing opcodes to x86emit.h .
