Version 0.119

Released: 2007-09-13

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

  • vr0118u6yel [Aaron Giles]

Source Changes

  • Improved graphics and cleaned up driver for srmp6. [David Haywood, Tomasz Slanina]
  • Fixed bug in model 2 polygon clipping. [Ernesto Corvi]
  • Fixed input port so that shadfrcj doesn't skip straight to the end sequence. [stephh]
  • Fixed recent changes to the MB86233 core that broke Virtua Racing. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added intelligence around the UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED flag, which is returned from VIDEO_UPDATE. If all screens in the game return UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED, then that frame is effectively skipped (up to 3 frames in a row) in terms of throttling. This allows games that render every other frame to not throttle during their "off frames". Updated the midvunit driver to return UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED. You should see an improvement in framerate with throttling enabled for these games. Note that this only kicks in if frameskip is set to 0. [Aaron Giles]

  • Fixed synchronization code in the Model 2 driver. [Ernesto Corvi]
  • Fixed SCALER, SCALERL, and ATANRL opcodes in the i960 core. [Ernesto Corvi]
  • Updates to the gdrawpkr driver: [Roberto Fresca]

  • Cleaned up input ports in the taito_z.c driver. [Brian Troha]
  • Updated the sources to support removing -wno-unused-function. Dead code has been identified with #ifdef UNUSED_FUNCTION to allow for further analysis and potential future removal. [Atari Ace]
  • Fixed a number of issues in the h6280 CPU core: [Wilbert Pol]
  • Taking of interrupts is delayed to respect a pending instruction already in the instruction pipeline.
  • Added 1 cycle for decimal mode ADC and SBC instructions.
  • Changed cycle counts for CSH and CSL instructions to 3.
  • Added T flag support to the SBC instruction.

  • Fixed cycle count and support for 65536 byte blocks for the TAI, TDD, TIA, TII, and TIN instructions.
  • Fixed RDWORD macro in the disassembler.
  • Fixed setting of N and V flags in the TST instructions.
  • Removed unneeded debug_mmr code.
  • Fixed TSB and TRB instructions.
  • Added 1 delay when accessing the VDC or VCE areas.
  • Implemented low and high speed cpu modes.
  • Moved srmp5 (Super Real Mahjong P5) to separate driver (from st0016.c). Preliminary video hw emulation. Not playable, no sound. [Tomasz Slanina]
  • Fixed DIP switches in the mario driver. [stephh]
  • corrections to eprom handling (affects Namco System2 as well)
  • scroll fix for sprite emulation in namcoic.c
  • working Starblade, Cybersled, Solvalou with full 3d
  • graphics should be 100% except for the depth cueing tables, which are internal and need to be reconstructed
  • Air Combat is improved, but is locking up in 118s because of incomplete watchdog emulation
  • Winning Run hardware is not yet working in this update
  • Fixed regression in undoukai caused by the REGION_CPU1 decoupling from RAM. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • SCSP fixes: [R. Belmont]
  • Fix writes to the hole in the SCSP address space (0x430 to 0x5ff) to not trash global registers
  • Fixed SCSP DMA to not read random memory for its' registers
  • Added minimal built-in layout for showing the lamps in Video Pinball. [Mr. Do!]
  • Big Model 2 update. There's so much stuff improved, I'm just going to list what's not working: [Ernesto Corvi, El Semi]
  • There's still a glitch on the triangle parser somewhere. Noticeable on the Sega logo in motoraid, the selection arrow in dynamcop's player select screen and many other games. It might be the culprit of the road in daytona looking wacky.
  • There's a problem with the z clipping. Some tri's close to the camera are clipped before they should. Some others should be clipped but are not, and are blocking the viewport for a frame or two.
  • Sub-windows are not implemented yet. Visible on dynacop's mission select, Sega Rally car select, and others.
  • Most decal textures flicker on and off between frames. Maybe a z coordinate float resolution issue after projection?
  • Textures wrap by default. They should only wrap when the appropriate flag is set only. Not sure what to do when we're not wrapping.
  • Improvements to the Z180 core: [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • added the 2 Programmable Reload Timers
  • fixed the Internal I/O Registers remapping
  • added logical -> physical memory translation
  • disabled loops hack
  • removed "extra icount"
  • changed interrupts handling. Now they're checked as in Z80 core
  • simplified RETN and EI opcodes
  • fixed PRT interrupts
  • cleared both interrupts flip flops when taking any irq
  • added _IFF2 = _IFF1; just before _IFF1 = 0; when taking an NMI
  • Removed kludge in 20pacgal which is no longer necessary with proper Z180 emulation. Sound now works as well. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • Fixed some Dip Switches and added some extra notes to othunder.c driver. Also added some notes to opwolf.c driver. [stephh]
  • Fixed Voodoo video timing according to the manual, including blanking periods and vsync interrupts. This makes Carnevil and some other games run once again at their proper speed. [Aaron Giles]
  • Updated Voodoo drawing code to track changes to the front buffer and allow skipping unrendered frames for more even framerates. [Aaron Giles]
  • Fixed hang when attempting to move windows with the debugger active and multithreading enabled. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added preliminary attempt at a new x64 dynamic recompiler for the MIPS 3/4 CPUs. The current version works enough to run a few basic games (kinst, carnevil), but many others fail. Furthermore, this version is already being supplanted by a more advanced version that does register allocation and constant folding. For now it is disabled by default. [Aaron Giles]
  • Fixed a few more 64-bit disassembler problems in i386dasm.c. Also fixed several 64-bit errors in the code generators in x86emit.h. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added support in the debugger memory view for 8-byte chunk sizes. Fixed long-standing bug that failed to show unmapped logical addresses as asterisks. Also added new menu items to the Windows debugger to support viewing logical or physical memory. [Aaron Giles]
  • Removed limitation that tilemap tile widths must be divisible by 2, except in the 4bpp case, where an assert now catches this case. [Aaron Giles]
  • Experimentally changed full screen behavior when using Direct3D so that if -switchres is NOT enabled, then we don't create a fullscreen Direct3D device. This minimizes large graphics card transitions (in particular it does not disable glass in Vista) when you go full screen. If you want the old behavior, run with -switchres and specify a -resolution parameter equal to your desktop screen size. [Aaron Giles]

Version 0.119u2

Released: 2007-09-29

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

  • model2c_crx0119u1red [R. Belmont]

Source Changes

  • Changed gfx_decode structures so that they are defined abstractly by macros rather than directly specifying the structures. Added new macros GFXDECODE_START/GFXDECODE_ENTRY/GFXDECODE_END to describe the gfx_decode information. Converted all drivers over to using the new macros. [Atari Ace]
  • Fixed NMI handling in h6280 CPU core. [Wilbert Pol]
  • Fixed vaportra to use an ASSERT/CLEAR mechanism instead of PULSE_LINE for interrupt signally. [Wilbert Pol]
  • Cleaned up input ports in sg1000a.c. Added DIP switch for the coins in dokidoki and service switch. Added DIP switch for flip screen in psychic5. [sonikos]
  • Cleans up the input port for macrossp.c driver and adds dip locations. [Brian Troha]
  • Adds dip locations and changes the Japanese inputs into PORT_INCLUDE and PORT_MODIFY. [Brian Troha]
  • Added macros to clean up definitions of the discrete sound interfaces. At the same time, made them all const. [Atari Ace]
  • Some miscellaneous changes to the megatech driver. [David Haywood]
  • More srmp6 improvements. [686]
  • Two small Model 2 fixes: [Ernesto Corvi]
  • fixed triangle parser; all objects should be structurally correct now
  • fixed normal transform to not use the translation vectors
  • Cleaned up code to make code and data static where possible and remove some dead code. [Atari Ace]
  • SCSP improvements: [R. Belmont, ElSemi]
  • fixed issue with changing the pitch of an active voice set to backwards or bidirectional loop
  • removed fake reverb
  • fixed internal DSP to operate properly
  • rewrote timers and interrupt handling
  • fixed operation when 2 SCSPs are present
  • Fixed sound in almost all SCSP-equipped Model 2 games. [R. Belmont]
  • Added sound hardware and fixed sound ROM loading in Model 3 games. [R. Belmont]
  • Created an options_output_diff_ini_file() API, which is similar to options_output_ini_file(), but only outputs the options which are different than a base core_options. Changed INI outputting (and hence the -cc option) to omit headers that do not contain any options. [Nathan Woods]
  • Hooked up sound in discoboy. [Tomasz Slanina]
  • Renamed old gfx_decode structure to gfx_decode_entry in order to catch remaining/new drivers that aren't using the new macros. [Aaron Giles]
  • Changed profiler so that it is independently selected versus the debug build. Built with MAME_PROFILER=1 to enable the profiler on a non-debug build. [Aaron Giles]
  • Fixed MIPS3 disassembly of j/jal instructions. [Aaron Giles]
  • Switched MIPS3 64-bit DRC over to new system that is more aggressive about register allocation and mapping. Sadly, there is little to no obvious performance benefit, but the resulting code is better organized. [Aaron Giles]
  • Fixed nasty x86emit bug involving 16-bit opcodes on 64-bit systems. [Aaron Giles]
  • Created new generic x86/x64 logging system x86log, and updated both MIPS3 DRC cores to use it. [Aaron Giles]
  • Created new generic DRC frontend management. Future work involves retooling the MIPS3 frontend around this new architecture. [Aaron Giles]

Version 0.119u3

Released: 2007-10-05

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR OSD PORTERS: This build requires a pair of new primitives in the OSD synchronization module, as well as some extended functionality in the work item management. See below for details.

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

  • cabal0119u2ora [David Haywood]

Source Changes

  • Fixed Cabal (joystick) submission from previous release. [David Haywood]
  • Made a few improvements to dealem (well you can see the game now..) [David Haywood]
  • Fixed broken SCSP from last update. [R. Belmont]
  • Changed parameters to read/write handlers from "address" to an unmodified "original_address" parameter (having the passed parameter being unmodified makes it easier to determine the original value while debugging). [Nathan Woods]
  • Fixed colors in dynduke. [David Haywood]
  • Changed the following x86 instructions to read/write an entire word rather than two separate bytes: [Philip Bennett]
  • mov_axdisp
  • mov_dispax
  • stosw (8086 only)
  • rep stosw (8086 only)
Also tweaked handling of x86 WAIT instruction.
  • Several more opcode fixes for Risky Challenge. [robiza]
  • Cleaned up the include file usage in the code: [Atari Ace]
  • Removed dead prototypes
  • Added missing self-#includes
  • Added missing source comments in mame/includes
  • Migrated the few #include "driver.h" lines from driver header files to source files (which is the common idiom).
  • Eliminated #include "mame.h", "osdcore.h" et cetera from driver files where #include "driver.h" would suffice.
  • Removed unused srmp6.h and 9900stat.h
  • Added the rom loading for the various 5*XX roms, which are dumped but not yet hooked up. [David Haywood]
  • Fixed error messages output from option.c. [Christophe Jaillet]
  • gstream driver update: [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • Changed to use a default nvram handler
  • Checked the inputs
  • Aligned the sprites
  • Added some comments about oki banking
  • Major Sega Model 2 rewrite: [Ernesto Corvi]
  • Decoupled the geometry engine code from the hardware rasterizer.
At this point, we could add emulation of the geometry DSPs for the 2B and 2C models, and hook them directly to the rasterizer.
For the original and 2A models, an HLE geometry engine is provided (currently in use for all models).
  • Full Geometry Engine simulation, including support for specular, multiple centers and dual polygon RAM.
  • Support for all textured/transparent/checkered rendering modes.
  • Improved texel/luma modulation
  • Improved viewport clipping
  • Improved z clipping
  • Extensive notes and documentation.
  • Greatly improved near Z-Clipping, still not perfect though.
  • Improved perspective-correct texturing for large textures.
  • Improved Z-Sorting
  • Changed Machine to machine in several places where feasible. [Atari Ace]
  • Added decryption of Jongkyo. [Nicola Salmoria]
  • The OSD layer is now required to supply to additional synchronization primitives: osd_compare_exchange32() and osd_compare_exchange64(). These primitives should implement an atomic compare and exchange of 32-bit and 64-bit values, respectively. Added implementations of these functions to the Windows OSD layer. [Aaron Giles]
  • Defined two new inline functions that are built on the new OSD primitives: osd_compare_exchange_ptr(), which performs an atomic compare/exchange on a pointer of the appropriate size, and osd_sync_add() which atomically adds a value to a location in memory. [Aaron Giles]
  • Changed implementation of OSD work queues that are created with the WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_MULTI hint. Such queues now create n-1 threads, where n in the number of logical processors in the system. This allows the main thread to continue accomplishing things while other threads process the work. If the main thread subsequently calls osd_work_queue_wait(), it will then dynamically "jump in" and help the other threads complete all the work items. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added new work item flag WORK_ITEM_FLAG_SHARED. When specified on a work item that is queued to a work queue created with the WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_MULTI hint, it means that all threads will be dispatched to process the one work item, instead of the first thread removing it. These "shared" work items are only considered complete when all processing threads have returned. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added support for controlling multithreading behavior through an environment variable OSDPROCESSORS. To override the default behavior, set OSDPROCESSORS equal to the number of logical processors you wish the OSD layer to pretend you have. [Aaron Giles]
  • Changed the 3dfx Voodoo emulation code to take advantage of the new threading mechanisms above. It now creates a work queue with the WORK_QUEUE_FLAG_MULTI flag set, and uses shared work items to spread rasterization work across multiple processors. Note that this support should be considered experimental; under some circumstances it is known to deadlock. If you encounter problems, set OSDPROCESSORS to 1 to effectively produce the previous behavior. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added "top 20" dedicated rasterizers for all the Seattle games and Gauntlet Legends/Dark Legacy. These improve rasterization performance by another 10-20%. [Aaron Giles]
  • Fixed several more bugs in the 64-bit MIPS recompiler. It is now capable of running the Seattle games and the 3D Gauntlets. [Aaron Giles]

  • for rfjetus, adds a hack to enable Test-Switch to enter testmode if no nvram exists
  • Fixed several issues in the i386 core: [couriersud]
  • the INTR-line for i386 is a "level" line; changed interrupt handling to trigger on asserted line
  • in 32bit mode, determine trap/interrupt from gate-header
  • interrupt line is read during two bus cycles. Adjust CYCLES accordingly.
  • Added coin DIP switches and "teleport hole" DIP switch to crushs. [sonikos]

  • Added code to detect potential hotspots in the 64-bit DRC. Added hotspots to all the seattle.c games and several of the vegas.c games. [Aaron Giles]
  • Simplified the osd_work implementation. Removed the concept of shared work items. Added new function osd_work_item_queue_multiple() which allows efficient queueing of large numbers of work items. Changed previous osd_work_item_queue() function into an inline that calls the new function. [Aaron Giles]
  • Updated Voodoo code to use the new work functions. It now queues small scanline chunks as independent items rather than using shared items. Updated code to also copy some parameters to allow for greater overlapping of emulation and rendering. [Aaron Giles]
  • For Windows work functions, added new scalable lock implementation that hopefully has better performance characteristics when scaling above 2 CPUs. [Aaron Giles]
  • For Windows work functions, added statistics gathering code. This is on by default for the moment to help point to problems that might be encountered with this version. [Aaron Giles]
