Version 0.102 "Gradius 4"

Released: 2005-11-14

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

• bbmanw0101u4red [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
• dirtfoxj063gra [Mamesick, Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
• starblad0101u5yel [Aaron Giles]
• mouja0101u5gre [Hau]

Source Changes

• Fixed a few more remaining issues from the 0.101u1 update. [Aaron Giles, Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

• Fixed some bad tiles in naname. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

• Fixed music tempo in T.N.K.3/T.A.N.K. [R. Belmont, Kold666]

• Began adding support for SCRIPTS programs to the 53C810 emulation. [Nathan Woods, R. Belmont]

• Fixed inputs in Passing Shot (Japan). [Ange Albertini, Barry Rodewald]

• Added some missing sounds to Wonder Stick and Search Eye. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

• Fixed status flag from MCU in Taito SJ games, fixing the last digit of the score in Front Line. [Nicola Salmoria]

• Many fixes to the SHARC core and Konami PPC drivers. [Ville Linde]

• Updated the discrete thump sound in Asteroids to use component values instead of derived equations. [Hans Andersson, Derrick Renaud]

• Added Tilemap0 color banking to esd16. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

• Fixed save/restore of 8253 PIT. Also several updates to Top Gunner: [Mathis Rosenhauer]

• Removed shift register since it just seems to be needed to compensate for different DAC speeds
• Added 8254 PIT from PC emulation
• Added state saving

• Fixed bug in PSX GTE flag settings. [Olivier Galibert]

• Implemented pixel-accurate dithering in the Voodoo emulation. [Aaron Giles]

• Renamed my_stricmp to mame_stricmp, converted all uses of stricmp in the code to call mame_stricmp, and #defined stricmp to something invalid to prevent code from using it in the future. [Aaron Giles]
