Nothing too noteworthy about the addition - just a few new question sets.
Softwarethis.com does, however, have some screen shots of a board running. These show that the palette in MAME is slightly off (blue->green, magenta->yellow, etc). The palette code is currently using naughtyb's PALETTE_INIT which I'm a little chicken to play with at the moment. I have therefore posted a message on MAMEtesters for the addition of this bug to the database.
ROMs are uploaded to /roms/p/promutrc.zip.
a new compile-time define (ENABLE_DEBUGGER). This means that MAME_DEBUG no longer means
"enable debugger", it simply enables debugging features such as assertions and debug code
in drivers.
Also removed the various levels of opbase protection in memory.h and always just turned
on full bounds checking.
Fixed build break due to missing ampoker.lay -> ampoker2.lay renaming.
- Fixed ancient cloud layer transparency glitch in 1943
- Corrected colors in Gyruss and Got-Ya. Neither had a pure white and Gyruss was missing a pull-down resistor as well
Fixed Dip Switches for all games. Inputs might be checked for 'fantasy*' and 'pballoon' to see if there are no debug buttons. as for 'nibbler'.
Added notes about some games at the top of the file. They aren't complete, but it's enough to be included in next release.
It's almost my first attempt to look at M6502 games, so I hope I haven't made too many mistakes ...
- Hooked up palette bank selector from schematics, though I am not sure if it is actually used by the code
- Changed set names to match title screen, which is why baseball is spelt as "Base Ball"
Added #include "deprecat.h" where necessary to make this happen.
Cleaned up cpuexec.c/.h to latest core style.
Cleaned up implementation of extended INP header in inptport.c.
Removed external access to cycles_currently_ran().
Replaced use of cycles_currently_ran() in v9938 code with mame_rand(), since that is effectively the same thing. :)
Subject: 1942.c 1943.c segas16a.c segas16b.c system16.c DIPs
Made some minor improvements to 1942.c & 1943.c DIPs.
Improved segas16a.c, segas16b.c & system16.c DIPs and added DIP
locations from manuals.
Subject: Fixed MAME Testers bug STRAHL0122u6YEL
Hello. Attached diff fixes the bug STRAHL0122u6YEL. Sprites are simply
allocated in a different memory range from all other nmk16 games.
Regards.
Subject: Update for galpani2 driver
Hi,
Here's a small update for gals panic 2, the diff is made against 122u7.
I've resolved all unknown dips according to kaneko's docs, unified
memory maps of both CPUs and repositioned a pair of graphic ROMS.
Regards,
LFaria
Subject: AGEMAME upstream patches for u8/0.123
I thought I'd push a few minor coding improvements in now, while I still
have something resembling free time.
Firstly, I've made a few changes to the 6840 interrupt handling, to be
more like that in the 6821 driver, and to hopefully reduce the IRQ
swamping that could occur using the old setup. In the process, I've
added the 6840 IRQ handler to the wire-OR in the MPU4 driver, as that's
what the schematic shows (there's just one track for each interrupt
class, all the way down the PCB to the cartridge loading point). Since I
was looking at that, I made MPU4 games that didn't use a CRT as
screenless as they can get at present, and altered the logging options
to avoid a redefinition issue if you wanted the core and driver portions
to log at different levels.
Scorpion 2 has also been altered to match the MPU4 coding style, where
proper handlers re now included for the stepper motor data, which can
then be expanded on in AGEMAME.
