New Version Of The Arcade Emulator Mame

Another source.diff update for Mame has appeared so let’s see what the biggest emulator around has for us this time folks:

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
• 03403: [DIP/Input] rollfr_2: Can’t init Roll Fruit game. (MetalliC)
• 03458: [Sound] bzone and clones: Broken engine sound (couriersud)

Source Changes
• Added genuine sets of Rally-X and New Rally-X [Team Japump!!!]

discrete_sound_r now can inquiry any node: [couriersud]
• the return type is UINT8, consequently the designer needs to ensure that the node delivers adequately scaled data.
• input nodes allow the input data to be scaled. The return value is the node value *after* scaling.

• DISCRETE_74LS624 - optimized for some more speed. [Derrick Renaud]
• DISCRETE_566 - started making a more accurate simulation based on testing of a real IC. This makes the rest of Sky Raider sounds work. [Derrick Renaud]
• Completed dump of Gun Survivor 2 cart [Guru]
• Hacked in the dsp56156’s “Long Interrupts.” Added SUB opcode. Polygonet Commanders now goes in-game! [Andrew Gardner]
• plygonet.c: hooked up 53936 roz layer. [R. Belmont, David Haywood]
• Fleshed out SCC68070 definition in m68k core, for CD-i use in MESS [Harmony]
• m68k: disassemble PMOVE instruction (move to/from PMMU). [R. Belmont]

exp is slow, but pow is even slower [couriersud]
• more LS624 optimization, replace pow(10, x) by pow10(x)
• mixer loop optimizations

Impromved discrete performance for mario: [couriersud]
• pow to exp : 5%
• parallel tasks : 45%
• minor tweaks

M680×0 update: [R. Belmont]
• Add CPU types 68EC030, 68030, and 68EC040
• Start of 030/040 PMMU, including stubbed PMOVE

• Fixed up RAM bank names to prevent crashes with memdump. Extended explicit banks to 96. [Aaron Giles]

multfish.c driver fixes and improvements: [MetalliC]
• Hooked up inputs for Roll Fruit
• Added hopper emulation, payout now works
• Added information on how to initialize Roll Fruit
• Added in missing rom to a few MultiFish sets

• DISCRETE_555_MSTABLE - optimized speed and added new operating modes. [Derrick Renaud]
• Fixed ROM name of warpwarp. Also removed 4th program ROM which is not present on real board. [Team Japump!!!]
• Memory references can now explicitly specify logical or physical access by prepending with an ‘l’ or ‘p’. Logical remains the default. Example: ppb@1000 = physical program space byte at address $1000. ldw@2000 = logical data space word at address $2000. Changed cheat finder to explicitly reference physical memory when writing out new cheats. [Aaron Giles]
• Added simple system for auto-detecting cheat-worthy RAM areas. [Sandro Ronco]
• Added NULL check to prevent MAME from crashing if a new input device was connected at runtime. [David Haywood]
• Expanded PROFILER_USERx to support up to 8 custom profiler areas. [Christophe Jaillet]
• Added more _NAME macros to be consistent with the standard naming conventions. [Atari Ace]
• Shuffled code around to better integrate HazeMD implementation. [David Haywood, Fabio Priuli]
• Sped up mario_custom_run() discrete sound. [Derrick Renaud]
• Added discrete sound to Sprint 8. [Derrick Renaud]
• Removed capacitor aging code and assumed range input is gnd for all 74LS629. [couriersud]

Omplemented m:n logic for buffered task nodes in discrete sound [couriersud]
• preparation work so that a task node output buffer may be read by more than one following task.
• target: implementation of task groups: tasks in a task group run parallel, task groups serial. The current main task may than just be task (in the last task group)

• Space Walk - started discrete sounds. [Derrick Renaud]
• Added static qualifiers where possible throughout the code. [Atari Ace]

Discrete task groups [couriersud]
• DISCRETE_TASK_START now requires a parameter TASK_GROUP (>=0, <=9)
• Tasks are scheduled in the order of their task group
• Nodes are automatically buffered between task groups
• Discrete core determines nodes which need buffering to minimize overhead (information in DISCRETE_LOG)
• A discrete block list now must put each stepped node into a task if it uses tasks
• Drivers not using tasks will get one task allocated automatically
• Updated drivers accordingly
• Some more constification

• Optimized tab removal in srcclean. [Atari Ace]
• Centralized color definitions and made some colors more specific. [Mamesick]
• Hooked up Polynet Warriors joystick properly. [Andrew Gardner]
