Version 0.70 "DBZ"

Released: 2003-06-11

This contains all the updates listed which were part of the source only diffs listed below (0.69a, 0.69b, 0.69u3) plus a few extra bits and pieces. A couple of drivers still appear to be broken with the new timer system (deadang, artmagic for example) but hopefully most of the problems were ironed out.

General Source Changes

• Konami GX Sound Improvements [R.Belmont]

• General Konami Updates [Acho A. Tang, R. Belmont]

• Various Dipswitch fixes / conversion of drivers to tilemaps [Curt Coder]

• Removed hacks from Oriental Legend [Olivier Galibert]

src\drivers\pgm.c

• Some D3D updates / fixes [Leon van Rooij]

• Sanity checks for Ports [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

src\mame.c

• Documentation updates [Santeri Saarimaa, Randolph, Leon van Rooij]

• Improved bios selection code, now -bios japan can be used with the NeoGeo driver for example [Paul Priest]

New clones supported

• Korosuke Roller (clone of Crush Roller) [BUT, nono]

src\drivers\pacman.c

New TESTDRIVERS in source

• DJ Boy [Phil Stroffolino]

not working due to protection

src\drivers\djboy.c

src\vidhrdw\djboy.c

Version 0.70u1

Released: 2003-06-12

General Source Changes

• Fixed Night Striker dips [Brian A. Troha]

src/drivers\taito_z.c

• This fixes the data size parameter of the DUMP command in the debugger [smf]
• This fixes the bug where SAVE only worked on 8bit cpus in the debugger [smf]
• Made dbg_show_scanline the default [Bryan McPhail]

src/mamedbg.c

• Changed a few MAME core files for MESS (shouldn't change Mame behavior) [Nathan Woods]

src/usrintrf.h:

src/usrintrf.c:

• Adds four new calls to control showing the fps count and the profiler:

void ui_show_fps_set(int show);

int ui_show_fps_get(void);

void ui_show_profiler_set(int show);

int ui_show_profiler_get(void);

src/common.h:

• Adds ROM_LOAD32_DWORD

src/machine/idectrl.c:

src/machine/idectrl.h:

src/harddisk.c:

src/harddisk.h:

src/hdcomp.c:

• Enhances the hard disk code to support sector sizes other than 512 bytes (a non-IDE harddisk in MESS for one of the TI systems uses this). src/machine/idectrl.c has been modified to take this into account; it requires that HD images be 512 bytes. The new code is fully backwards compatible with old CHDs that do not have a sector size within them.

Tiny changes to enable easy compiling under VC6/7 & older non-c99 compilers [Bryan McPhail]

• Various Sound Improvements to YM2610, YM2608, Y8950 [Jarek Burczynski]

Inspired by Frits Hilderink (NLMSX emulator author) I attempted to:

• improve support of the ymdeltat module for the status registers (YM2610,YM2608,Y8950),
• implement x1bit/x8bit DRAM usage for the ADPCM samples,
• implement memory read/write via deltat (Y8950 and YM2608)
• ADPCM synthesis in 'slave' mode (CPU controlled, instead of memory based).

I made some tests but the changes are quite big so please test them before including. I'm sure the Y8950 will be tested by NLMSX authors too.

src/windows/fileio.c:

• In <code>osd_fopen(), if a file is opened with mode "r", FILE_SHARE_READ will be passed to the dwShareMode parameter of CreateFile(). This allows other programs to read any files that MAME opens for read only.

Version 0.70u5

Released: 2003-06-29

Please, if you submit dipswitch changes to me make sure they've been tested with a DEBUG compile, fixing 'fixed' dipswitches is time consuming, there are extra warnings when you attempt to run Mame in a DEBUG compile.

• Various Changes [Nathan Woods]

src/fileio.c:

• Introduced a "debug cookie"; when in debug mode, puts a cookie value in the mame_file structure to prevent files from being closed twice without an assertion

src/windows/window.c:

• Fixes a bug in visible area changing in windowed, non-stretch mode. Previously, when the visible area changed, the code would simply change the visible area, and look at the resulting window size and tweak it accordingly with win_adjust_window(). The problem with this is that if you have a sequence where the visible area is made larger, then smaller again, what would happen is you wouldn't get the original window size; you would simply get the enlarged window with a bunch of buffer area. Now instead of calling win_adjust_window(), I added code that preserves the "scale" factors, and the space between the emulation rectangle and the window client area.

src/windows/winddraw.h:

src/windows/winddraw.c:

src/windows/wind3d.c:

• Added a call win_ddraw_fullscreen_margins() that given the dwWidth and dwHeight parameters of a DirectDraw surface, comes up with a RECT that represents the margins. For MAME, this is a very simple operation (a rectangle from (0,0)-(dwWidth,dwHeight)) (and the implementation that I've submitted is corrspondingly simple), but in MESS the window can have a menu bar so this operation works differently. I've also modified winddraw.c and wind3d.c to use this call.

src/timer.c:

src/timer.h:

• Changes timers so that they are now 'mame_timer *' instead of 'void *'. mame_timer is an opaque structure, similar to mame_file in fileio.h. I didn't update any code using timers yet; it doesn't seem to me that there isn't a rush and since they used 'void *' before, everything compiles just fine. I hope noone objects to this one.

src/vidhrdw/jaguar.c:

• Fixes a potential crash in jaguar_tom_regs_w() (while this crash doesn't occur under normal execution of the cojag games though, it can occur if modified ROMs are being used).

src/sound/fmopl.c:

Added #if/#endif pair

• Changed message for Double Clicking on EXE slightly [Leon van Rooij]

src/windows/winmain.c
