Version 0.96u2

Released: 2005-05-16

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

  • starforc095u5gre
  • fghtbskt095u2red
  • ncv1095gre
  • paperboy095gre
  • garyoret095u2yel

Source Changes

  • Added the ability to specify internal read/write handlers for CPUs so that the new debugger can view internal RAM. Hooked this up for the TMS32025 core. [Aaron Giles]
  • Fixed window mode 1 in the TMS34010 core, as well as bugs that prevented misaligned stack accesses from working and a bug that didn't force the PC to be 16-bit aligned. [Aaron Giles]
  • Fixed bug in MAC instructions in the TMS32025 core. Also fixed cycle counting problems that led to inaccurate internal timers. [Aaron Giles]
  • Fixed end-of-sprite list and flip screen in Hollywood Action. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • Fixed colors in New Sinbad 7. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • Several Taito SJ sprite fixes:
  • Fixed sprite priorites. This fixes several priority issues in Tin Star, Elevator Action, High Way Race, and the car wrapping around in Elevator Action at the end of a level.
  • Added sprite clipping at the sides of the screen. This was verified to happen on the real board, and it affects bullets wrapping around in Elevator Action. I'm only 99% sure that the clipping is correct this way :)
  • Fixed sprite hardware collision detection. This fixes the last round in Pirate Pete, bonuses in Alpine Ski, end of level 1 in Water Ski.
[Nicola Salmoria]
  • Fixed DIP switches in Rohga. [Yasuhiro Ogawa]
  • Several Volfied fixes:
  • Fixed visible area.
  • Fixed rom names.
  • Improved c-chip simulation - accurate timing and correct colour data for all levels.
[Bryan McPhail]
  • Added the ability to clear an input configure via the delete key. [Curt Coder]
  • Added cocktail flip support to the Qix driver. [Nicola Salmoria]
  • Fixed graphics in Hyper Crash. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli, David Haywood]
  • Rewrote 8255 PPI mode 2 support, and hooked 8255 to buckrog properly. [Nathan Woods]
  • Fixed a number of bugs and added support for more SCSI commands and modes. [R. Belmont, Ville Linde]
  • Hooked up MSM5205 to Goal! '92 and to Euro League (bootleg), but it doesn't sound too good yet. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • Cleaned up the decryption in the Epos games. [Nicola Salmoria]
  • Changed xday2 to use default namcona1 joystick inputs. With those, if you wait the initial test to finish, you can play it. [Sonikos]
  • Fixed L button in mj4simai which was missing. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • Added support for Single monitor Playchoice 10 BIOS. Since the core doesn't allow you to change aspect ratio or remove dual monitor flag at run-time, the game always runs in the upper part of the screen. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • Added a -debugscript command line parameter that invokes a debugger script on startup [Nathan Woods]
  • Modified the MIPS DRC core to disable optimizations when mame_debug is on. This makes it easier to run comparative traces when running both with and without MIPS DRC enabled. [Nathan Woods]
  • Simplified the decryption code in the sun8 driver, and made some improvements to the Brick Zone main set. [Nicola Salmoria]
  • Patched the non-DRC PPC core to compile properly when not all PPC cores (403, 602, 603) are enabled. Implemented fcmpo instruction. [Nathan Woods]
  • Swapped On Screen Display and Config Menu items so that accidental key configuration changes don't kill your ability to get to the menu by default. [Aaron Giles]

Source Changes

  • Fixed Wizz Quiz clone. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
  • Added shadow effects to the SSV driver. [Luca Elia]
  • Simplified additive path in slapstic code. This should not impact any games that use it, but it is worth verifying. [Aaron Giles]
  • Improvements to The Couples driver: Improved the video hardware, added a preliminary PPI8255 + inputs interface, added a better workaround of the $b011 jump, and added sound. Now the game is somewhat playable, but there are still some problems in the game. [Angelo Salese]

  • Fixed OKI sample rate in Dark Seal/Crude Buster. Attempted to fix Vapor Trail dropped sound commands. [Bryan McPhail]
  • Changed trace and traceover commands so they can append to existing files by placing '>>' before the filename. [Nathan Woods]

  • Fixed game reset in galaxian due to running out of timers. [Aaron Giles]
  • Added thrash protection emulation to the NVRAM in coolpool.c. [Aaron Giles]
  • Improved Windows-specific memory debugging to track file/line numbers for allocations. This required a couple of changes to the core makefile. [Aaron Giles]
  • Fixed remaining memory leaks in the new debugger code, and one in the artwork system. [Aaron Giles]
