Version 0.112 "10th Anniversary Release"

Released: 2007-02-05

Happy 10th Anniversary! Today's release marks 10 years since the original release of 0.1. After 10 years, hundreds of developers, thousands of games, and tens of thousands (if not more) of hours of hard work, MAME development is still going strong. Thanks to everyone who has supported this project over the years!

Also a big thanks goes out to everyone who has contributed. Although I am certain there are some people left out of this list, it should give an indication of just how many people truly care about preserving arcade history:

Version 0.112u1

Released: 2007-02-12

IMPORTANT: This release brings with it a major source code reorganization. Because of this, there is no diff update, since the diff would be enormous.

The new layout at a high level looks like this:

  • makefile
  • docs/
  • src/
  • emu/ (generic emulation files from the old src/ directory)
  • cpu/ (CPU cores from src/cpu)
  • sound/ (sound cores from src/sound)
  • debug/ (debugger code from src/debug)
  • audio/ (generic audio files from src/sndhrdw)
  • layout/ (generic layout files from src/layout)
  • machine/ (generic machine files from src/machine)
  • video/ (generic video files from src/vidhrdw)
  • mame/ (MAME-specific drivers)
  • drivers/ (drivers from src/drivers)
  • includes/ (includes from src/includes)
  • layout/ (majority of files from src/layout)
  • machine/ (majority of files from src/machine)
  • audio/ (majority of files from src/sndhrdw)
  • video/ (majority of files from src/vidhrdw)
  • etc/ (misc files from src/etc)
  • lib/ (libraries)
  • util/ (various files with light dependencies from src)
  • zlib/ (zlib library)
  • expat/ (expat library)
  • osd/ (OS-dependent code)
  • osdmini/ (mini OS-dependent code)
  • windows/ (Windows OS-dependent code)
  • tools/ (misc tools)

Along with these changes come a number of makefile alterations to better distribute the build knowledge within each major subdirectory. There may be some build issues or other interesting side effects to this change. Report them on MAMETesters and future updates will include fixes.

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

  • m4_0111u4gra [Mike Ellery]
  • mouser0112yel [Mamesick]
  • bnj0111u5ora [Canim]

Source Changes

  • Improvements to the Cidelsa driver: [Curt Coder]
  • Fixed the disassembly of cdp1802 opcode LSKP
  • Changed the cdp1802 opcode OUT to increment R(X) after calling the write handler
  • Set cdp1869 display size and visible area according to data sheet
  • Added cdp1869 CFC emulation (probably never used by anything but just for completeness' sake)
  • Cleaned up driver
  • Improvements to the M2 driver: [Ville Linde]
  • Added preliminary CD controller emulation
  • Hooked up some more multi-processor functionality and interrupts
  • Improvements to C352 sound emulator: [cync, hoot development team]
  • Rewrote loop and flag handling, added support for global key-on register
  • Fixed state saving
  • Worked around compilation error on MSVC that caused "Calendar error" in the Neo Geo games. [Atari Ace]
  • Rewrote much of the RF5C400 sound emulator to support looping, stereo panning, and 8-bit sample support. [hoot development team, Ville Linde]
  • Removed patch from mjleague now that it is not needed. [Arenzo Fabrice]
  • Fixed bubbletr crosshairs. [Canim]
  • Cleaned up information in mamedriv.c. [Brian Troha]
  • Added save state support for all games in gng.c, gunsmoke.c, lasso.c, solomon.c and terracre.c. [Vas Crabb]
  • Replaced implementation of Namco 54xx sound chip with new MB8844 CPU core running the original embedded ROM code. Removed old sound core. Pole Position and Bosconian no longer require samples as a result. [Nicola Salmora, Ernesto Corvi, Guru]
  • Added new function driver_get_count() to return the number of drivers. [Nathan Woods]
  • Input system changes: [Derrick Renaud]
  • Added new IPT_POSITIONAL control type. This is for Ikari type rotary controls and gray-code devices like Seawolf. This makes rotary and gray-code controls easy to enter without custom handlers.
  • Fixed some rounding and min/max errors in the core input code.
  • Modified crosshair code to be based on real scaling, see Seawolf for an example. It can now also have multiple crosshairs on one input port if needed.
  • Added back in the namcos2 crosshairs. Turns out they are needed for calibration.
  • Removed the gwar control hack from the Ikari games that did not need it. Modified the gwar control hack so it is only used for 1 frame, making it unnoticeable.
  • Updated boothill, gunfight, seawolf, spcenctr to use the new PORT_REMAP_TABLE.
  • Fixed the exidy/stern-sb1000 6840-based sound hardware to use what is believed (based on the schematic) to be the proper LFSR/PRNG waveform for its secondary clock source. [Lord Nightmare]
  • Updated Dragon Bowl to use HOLD_LINE for sound IRQs. Also did the same for the following drivers: afega, ettrivia, funybubl, jack, mustache, seta, trvmadns, wink. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • Changed 6809/6309 CPU cores to call the MAME debugger when CWAI/SYNC is used. [Nathan Woods]
  • Fixed uninitialized use of video_dma_address to address the rfjet crash in 64-bit builds. [Ville Linde]
  • Added support for the Motorola MPC8240 to the PowerPC core. [Ville Linde]
  • Improved ZIP file searching to look first for name + CRC match, second for CRC-only match, and lastly for name-only match. [Ben Rudiak-Gould]
  • Verified and improved stepper behavior based on comparison with a real machine. [James Wallace]
  • Changed file2str to work for any binary file and output the data as an array of bytes rather than a string. [Aaron Giles]
  • Made UI font size computations more flexible. This ensures that fonts are scaled vertically by an integral factor and should produce nice proportions for most fonts now. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added new function sound_find_sndnum_by_tag() to look up a sound index by its tag. [Aaron Giles]
  • Made osd_uchar_from_osdchar a member of the osdcore file library. [Aaron Giles]
  • Created new generic bitmap management code with fewer dependencies on the rest of MAME so that it can be used by utility code. Changed bitmap_alloc to always take a format parameter. Deprecated bitmap_alloc_format. Updated all drivers to pass an explicit format when allocating a bitmap. Changed auto_bitmap_alloc in the same fashion. [Aaron Giles]
  • Split some functionality from fileio.c into new module corefile.c, which can be used by utilities to get unicode support and fopen-style file I/O built on top of the OSD routines. Rebuilt fileio.c on top of the core file code. Added mame_core_file() to get the underlying core_file object from a mame_file so it can be used with png and xmlfile code. [Aaron Giles]
  • Changed the way the tiny build works. There is now the concept of a SUBTARGET. By default SUBTARGET is set equal to TARGET (which is mame) and everything builds as normal. The makefile that is included is now src/$(TARGET)/$(SUBTARGET).mak. Thus, to do a tiny build, you now have to specify "make SUBTARGET=tiny". This will produce an output executable with a name $(TARGET)$(SUBTARGET) (mametiny in this case). [Aaron Giles]
  • Turned ENABLE_BORDER_PIX back on, since so many people seem to be having trouble without it. [Aaron Giles]

  • Added discrete filters to the new Namco 54xx sound effects. Also implemented filters for the 52xx sound effects in preparation for future changes. [Derrick Renaud]
  • Added pause support to the output system: [Bob Seidel]
  • added "pause" message through the Output system to let clients know when MAME is paused
  • the state of an item is now sent when the item is first created
  • updated ledutil to use the pause state
  • Added cocktail mode and DIP locations to the Millipede driver. [Mike Haaland]
  • Many more CPS2 keys added. Removed all XORs and support for them from MAME. [Nicola Salmoria, Andreas Naive]
  • Fixed regression in the ar_xeon driver sprites. [Ernesto Corvi]
  • Kaneko driver improvements:
  • bloodwar: [Gary Walkling, Sebastien Volpe]
  • protection data extracted, still needs to be verified

  • bonkadv: [Guru, Sebastien Volpe]
  • protection data fully verified: corrects tilemap colors in levels 2 and 3
  • correct implementation of MCU command 43
  • Fixed behavior of MOVEC instruction on later 680x0 chips, and in the disassembler. [Ernesto Corvi]
  • Properly idenitified sound ROMs for Altered Beast set 2. [Brian Troha]
  • Fixed bad bits in a couple of FD1094 keys. [Aaron Giles]
  • Fixed bug in debugger that caused incorrect end offsets to be computed on CPUs with an address shift. [Ville Linde]
  • Moved some additional pieces of core functionality in the the core utility library. [Nathan Woods]
  • Added sound to porky. [Tomasz Slanina]
  • Changed font scaling again. Fonts 24 pixels tall and above are scaled the old way. Fonts smaller than that are scaled via integral scale factors and adjusted the new way. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added a small optimization to the FD1094 decoding step. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added several new modules to the utility library libutil. First is a generic huffman encoding module. Second is a module that allows you to read/write AVI files in a platform-independent way. And third is a lossless A/V compression module. These three pieces together, plus some changes in the CHD code, allow for the creation of CHDs with compressed audio and video. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added two new commands to chdman: -createav converts an AVI file in uncompressed YUY format or HuffYUV-compressed YUY format with "left" prediction into a CHD. And -extractav converts a CHD containing compressed audio & video into an uncompressed YUY format AVI file. [Aaron Giles]
  • Finished hooking up laserdisc support to the new audio/video compression. Note that we still do not have canonical CHDs of laserdisc data at the moment, but all the support is now present for when they start to appear. [Aaron Giles]

Version 0.112u3

Released: 2007-02-26

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

  • ghouls097u4yel [MAME Italia Forum]
  • hotchase0111u2gra [Brian Troha]
  • bigtwin0111u4gra [Brian Troha]

Source Changes

  • Modified ledutil to save the LED state when returning from pause. [Bob Seidel]
  • Fixed the crashing in debug builds and added controls for Ski Champ. [Ville Linde]
  • Updated makefile to remove the map file when making clean. [Dirk Best]
  • Significant changes to the input system: [Derrick Renaud]
  • Added the -vol shortcut to -volume to match the docs.
  • Added new joystick options -joy_deadzone & -joy_saturation.
Removed -a2d_deadzone. These now apply to the analog and digital-from-analog data. See windows.txt for more info.
  • Analog joystick data is divided into chunks for IPT_POSITIONAL controls. e.g., for a 7 position emulated control, a joystick axis will move 3 positions each way from center + center = 7 positions. One good use for this is 49way sticks. The driver input code just needs to be set to IPT_POSITIONAL PORT_POSITIONS(7) and use a PORT_REMAP_TABLE.
  • IPT_PEDAL controls are now nothing special in the core. They can use any control like a paddle does. At the OS input level, the code has been changed to supply full joystick axis and the +/- axis. This means any half axis or full axis can be used for any emulated control. e.g., a pedal that only outputs Y- data can be used for the full range of the gun in boothill. Or a full axis slider on a joystick can be used in its full range as an emulated pedal. INC now increases the pedal value, not DEC.
  • When seting up the player controls in the menu, the first time an analog joystick axis is selected it will use the full range. If you immediately select the same joystick axis it will toggle to the half +/- axis.
  • Analog joysticks can now simulate relative devices such as a trackball. The further you move the joystick, the faster the trackball spins. Use the sensitivity setting to adjust.
  • Added support for mouse +/- axis to be used as button input.
  • Modified IPT_PADDLE and IPT_AD_STICK so they do not behave as pedals using half the joystick range if their default value is equal to one of the PORT_MINMAX values. Now you can select it as he full or +/- part axis.
  • Updates to the acefruit driver: [stephh]
  • added 'sidewndr' and 'spellbnd' (was 'sidewnda') which were missing in previous releases
  • reorganised the layout to have all lamps and solenoids at the top (where there's nothing)
  • also renamed some lamps and solenoids
  • added 'starspnr' ... unfortunately, the game is not working due to a bad dump (H11)
  • Updated the DISCRETE_OP_AMP_OSCILLATOR circuit to get it ready for a future driver. It allows the DISC_OP_AMP_OSCILLATOR_1 | DISC_OP_AMP_IS_NORTON oscillator to use nodes to adjust the resistance values instead of only being static values. [Derrick Renaud]
  • Created new utility module pool.c for managing memory pools. Rebuilt auto_malloc on top of this concept. [Nathan Woods]
  • Added speedups to many of the Eolith games. [David Haywood]
  • Added sprite rotation to the realbrk driver. This fixes the jigging reels in the pachinko games and the cue position and orientation in the pool games.
  • Added discrete sound for Amazing Maze. Also added new Discrete modules: DISCRETE_LOOKUP_TABLE & DISCRETE_LOGIC_JKFLIPFLOP. [Derrick Renaud]
  • Fixed the small graphic issues in the Cidelsa driver. Draco still has imperfect colors. [Curt Coder]
  • Fixed naming and identification of several Neo Geo ROMs. [JohnBoy]
  • Fixed regression in the GeeBee driver. [David Haywood]
  • added state saving to emu\sound\cdda.c & mame\drivers\ksys573.c
  • added DS2401 emulation
  • added X76F100 emulation
  • added ZS01 emulation (HLE of System 573 PIC)
  • added write support to X76F041 emulation
  • many new games partially supported
  • Connected brightness support on the CPS1 board (not just CPS2) after verifying that the real board does support it. [MAME Italia forum]
  • Improved the K001604 tilemap chip emulation. [Ville Linde]
  • Fixed garbage in fonts on some systems. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added new tool makemeta.exe, which can generate properly formatted metadata for laserdisc CHDs using either a specially captured AVI as input (preferred) or a hand-crafted set of encoded Philips codes. [Aaron Giles]
  • Rewrote throttling code to be more forgiving of OSD-level glitches and uneven frame rates. [Aaron Giles]
  • Changed sound streaming engine to be emulated time based instead of sample based. This means that emulation behavior is independent of the user-specified sample rate (except that some sound cores still use this value; to fixed in a future update). Also separated sound generation from video frame rate. Sound is now pushed to the OSD layer at a fixed rate of 50 updates per emulated second. This entailed a change in the way sound is handed to the OSD layer. Instead of the OSD layer requesting arbitrary numbers of samples each frame, the core now pushes the appropriate number of samples based on the emulated time. [Aaron Giles]
  • Simplified the OSD interface for sound. Removed osd_start_audio_stream and osd_stop_audio_stream; OSD initialization code is now responsible for initialization. Removed osd_get_mastervolume and osd_sound_enable, keeping management of the main volume in emu/sound.c. [Aaron Giles]
  • Changed K054539 to run at native sample rate. [Aaron Giles]

  • More input fixes and improvements: [Derrick Renaud]
  • fixed some obscure masking, shifting, overflow, and signed problems in the input system. Most noticeably this fixes the analog controls in sfootbal and stops the pedal in redlin2p from rotating through gas/no gas as the pedal is pressed.
  • analog ports no longer save and load their default value from the config file. It should only ever use the value specified in the driver, and storing it can cause problems the more the game is restarted and the value starts to change.
  • added a bunch of validity tests to the analog ports. Some are commented out until the problems they uncovered are fixed.
  • analog ports now defalt to a PORT_MINMAX of (0,mask). This means you no longer have to specify PORT_MINMAX if you are not using any limits. Removed a bunch of no longer needed PORT_MINMAX entries.
  • Bitmaps are now cleared to 0 by default. This fixes a number of random crashes in games. [Aaron Giles]
  • Modified the raster position calculations to round to the nearest pixel which produces more consistent results. [Aaron Giles]
  • Changed most sound cores to generate audio at their internal clock rates (or some multiple/divisor of them) rather than at the user specified output rate. This completes the second step of decoupling audio emulation from the user's sample rate choice. [Aaron Giles]
  • Removed a big pile of goofiness from the DMA-driven DAC driver now that it is no longer necessary. [Aaron Giles]
  • Removed custom sound code from cchasm and replaced it with a simple DAC implementation. [Aaron Giles]
  • Cleaned up attckufo driver, making it perform like a 1MHz 6502 game once again. [Aaron Giles]
