Version 0.75 "Big fix, almost"

Released: 2003-10-12

General Source Changes

• TESTDRIVERS still enabled (see note for 0.74u2)

• Fixed bug in the time accounting for the V60 which was causing Outrunners to run with flickering sprites and slow music [Aaron Giles]

• src/cpu/v60/v60.c

• Fixed another V60 bug introduced in 0.74u2 which broke the v70 games (and further broke Outrunners) [Kobat, Olivier Galibert]

• src/cpu/v60/v60.c

• Fixed some bugs introduced with the timer system changes a while back [Aaron Giles]

Hopefully this is the last of them.... Fixes Exterminator and the Atari polygon games. Hopefully doesn't break anything in the process.

• src/cpuexec.c

• changed scanline timing to use floor() to get consistent results
• fixed bug in time computation if requesting a scanline in the next frame

• src/cpu/tms34010/tms34010.c

• removed 4x executes per loop which screwed up timing
• fixed internal interrupt generation to get consistent timing results

• src/timer.c

• now uses the active callback as a base time when adjusting timers outside of a CPU context

• src/drivers/harddriv.c
• src/machine/harddriv.c

• fixed all the games again, but they are slower now due to more necessary interleaving

• Fixed Dorachan Orientation [Tomasz Slanina]

• src/drivers/dorachan.c
• src/vidhrdw/dorachan.c

• Various Fixes [Nathan Woods]

• src/artwork.c:
• src/artwork.h:
• src/common.c:

• Fixes a screenshot handling bug that affected Space Invaders

• src/cheat.c:

• Moves the MESS specific code into a separate module, reducing #ifdef clutter

• src/harddisk.c:

• Moved some variable declarations out of for loops so that it can compile in non-GCC compilers

• src/cpu/i86/instr86.c:

• Fixes REP CMPSW so that it uses words and not bytes

• src/cpuintrf.c:
• src/cpuintrf.h:

• Adds a call cpuintrf_set_dasm_override() that gives drivers the ability to customize disassemblies. This probably isn't very useful for MAME, but it is useful for MESS for things like software interrupts used for BIOS calls.

• src/windows/config.c:

• Increases the size of the buffer used when logerror() output goes to OutputDebugString()

• src/windows/config.c:
• src/windows/config.h:
• src/windows/winmain.c:

• Moves config.c externs to a header file
• Adds another call, cli_rc_create(), which creates MAME's rc struct for use elsewhere. (I'm actually creating a debug time consistency check feature for MAME32, to verify at runtime that the arguments that MAME32 has are consistent with MAME's).

• src/rc.c:

• When rc_destroy() is now called, freed pointers to strings and files will now be NULLed out.

• Overhauled the Canyon Bomber driver with a number of minor fixes like correct RAM size and VBLANK duration. [Stefan Jokisch]

• hiscore reset button added
• sprite positions should be fixed according to the schems
• language ROM added (i.e. the language dip works now)
• prototype set renamed from canbprot to canyonp

• Improved Super Chase sample loading [sedn]

• src/drivers/superchs.c

• Replaced instances of "inline", "static inline", and "static __inline" with "INLINE". This fixes some build problems with xmame and makes things more consistent. [Lawrence Gold]

• src/cpu/mips/mips.c
• src/vidhrdw/psx.c
• src/machine/psx.c
• src/drivers/namcos2.c
• src/machine/psx.c
• src/vidhrdw/psx.c

• Corrected CPU speeds etc. in snowbros.c [The Guru]

• src/drivers/snowbros.c

• Reversed inptport.c changes to 0.74u1 as the version in 0.74u2 wasn't correcly merged, these will need resubmitting

• Some namcos22 Improvements [Phil Stroffolino]

The major things improved are:

• fixes to display list processing (affects Prop Cycle ending)
• gouraud shading
• misc improvements for the not-working games
• src/drivers/namcos22.c
• src/vidhrdw/namcos22.c
• src/vidhrdw/namcos3d.h
• src/includes/namcos22.h
• src/includes/namcos3d.h

• src/vidhrdw/ladyfrog.c

• Sundance [Stefan Jokisch]

controls now emulated

• src/drivers/cinemat.c

no sound, the video hardware emulation was also rewritten for this driver, its quite slow now but more accurate.

• src/drivers/zac2650.c
• src/vidhrdw/zac2650.c

• Main Event (SNK) [Tomasz Slanina]

controls probably need work

• src/drivers/bwidow.c

• Cloak & Dagger (International Versions, Spanish, French, German) [Aaron Giles]

• Route X (bootleg)

• src/drivers/route16.c

New Non-Working games / clones supported

• Task Force Harrier (Japan)

• src/drivers/nmk16.c

• Various Sf2 bootlegs

Please note, I have no intention of fixing these, however if you want to try and think you can do it in a clean way then feel free.

• src/drivers/cps1.c
• src/vidhrdw/cps1.c

• Gorkans [Tomasz Slanina]

gameplay works but there are no good gfx roms

• src/drivers/pacman.c

• Whizz [Tomasz Slanina]

main program rom appears to be bad, maybe a gfx rom too

• src/drivers/sidearms.c
• src/vidhrdw/sidearms.c

• Marine Date [insideoutboy]

collisions not emulated + various other issues

• src/drivers/marinedt.c

Version 0.75u1

Released: 2003-14-06

Please TEST this release, I had hoped 0.75 would be the end of the timer related bugs for good but it wasn't so if this tests out as ok then I'll probably release 0.76 within a fairly short period of time, if sound has vanished on any games, or anything that booted in .75 no longer boots let us know, the sooner the better.
