0.137u4 -------
MAMETesters Bugs Fixed ---------------------- - 03684: [Graphics] skyarmy: [possible] Screen Offset issue (hap) - 03736: [Graphics] scontra, scontraj: Super Contra main character shadows (hap) - 03102: [Side-by-side] finalizr: The "lives" statusbar is shown at bottom of the screen in MAME and on the PCB it's on the top (hap) - 03822: [Speed] lwings and clones: Gameplay slows during game (Tafoid) - 03818: [Crash/Freeze] mightybj, vsgshoe: Grey Screen (Not booting) (Andrew Jackson)
Source Changes --------------
Replaced TMS5200 table with table extracted using PROMOUT from actual chip. monymony sounds much better. [Lord Nightmare]
Improvements to Treasure Bonus (Subsino) [Roberto Fresca] * Reworked and cleaned-up the inputs. Most buttons have more than one single function. * Added DIP locations. * Figured out the following DIP Switches: Complete Coinage (1/2/5/10/20/25/50/100). Remote Credits (1/2/5/10/20/25/50/100). Minimum Bet (1/8/16/32). Max Bet (16/32/64/80). Demo Sounds (Off/On). Game Limit (10000/20000/30000/60000). Double-Up (No/Yes). Win Rate (84/86/88/90/92/94/96%). Double-Up Level (0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7). Double-Up Game (Dancers / Panties Colors / Cards / Seven-Bingo). * Fixed inverted functions and buggy inputs. * Added lamps support. * Created button-lamps layout. * Remapped inputs to reflect the controls layout. This way is more user-friendly since controls are straight with button-lamps. * Added coin/keyin/keyout/payout counters. * Removed the pulse limitation in the BET input. This allow it to work as BET and STOP2 properly. * Added technical notes.
Status Fun Casino improvements: [Roberto Fresca] * Reworked inputs to match the standard. * Lowered the CPU clock to get it working properly. * Added technical notes.
Output Cleanup/Hookup (Part 2) [Howard Casto]: * segas32.c: Hooked up all digital outputs for all games (radm, alien3, radr, f1en, arescue, f1lap, jpark, slipstrm, orunners, harddunk, scross, titlef) Emulation needs to progress more on the analog output data before those outputs can be hooked up. * audio\mw8080bw.c: Changed output name for desertgn to something more descriptive (Player1_Gun_Recoil) * bbusters.c: Added new output handling functions and hooked up outputs for bbusters and mechatt * opwolf3.c: Added gun outputs for opwolf3 (man that game is terrible) * machine\williams.c: Fixed existing outputs in tshoot (they needed inverted) and hooked up the rest, including the feather blower. :-D * gunbustr.c: Hooked up all outputs for gunbstr * namcos12.c: Hooked up outputs for all system 11 gun games (ptblank2, ghlpanic, tenkomor) * segaybd.c: Hooked up all digital outputs (gloc, glocr360, gforce2, pdrift, rchase, strkfghtr), also hooked up motor/analog outputs for Power Drift and G-Loc/ Strike Fighter The remaining games with motors could be hooked up as well assuming emulation can progress enough to get past the error messages. * namcos2.c: Hooked up gun recoils for golly ghost. Also noted that the outputs for the remaining gun games are also in that area. Someone who can find the offsets should be able to hook them up. * segas18.c: Hooked up gun recoils for lghost. * taito_z.c: Hooked up outputs for spacegun and made a few prototype functions to help in hooking up the remaining games. Someone familiar with the driver should take a look. I hooked up a few, but they don't work like they should according to the comments.
toutrun.c: corrected dipswitches in the most recently added Turbo Out Run set, and reorganized the sets so that the parent is the FD1094 317-0118 set, the "newest" set based on both EPROM and security chip part numbers. [Andrew Jackson]
Fix two VS2008 warnings (namcos23.c and rdpfb.c) [Oliver Stoneberg]
Remove some stray invalid code in start_profiler() [Oliver Stoneberg]
Have srcclean add missing newlines to end of .c files [Atari Ace]
Fix the memory leaks with the strconv.c function by using osd_malloc() instead. Fixed other memory leaks as well. [Oliver Stoneberg]
"Replaced" TMS5220 table with table extracted using PROMOUT from actual chip. By 'Replaced', I mean documented, as the actual extracted table exactly matched the table already in MAME. Changed TMS5220C to use the same energy table as 5220 does, since my previous assumption based on the Quadravox tables was probably wrong. Updated the ranout condition code of tms5220.c to be slightly more accurate to the chip, and added TODOs. Re-enabled the timers for deactivating the READY line on /WS or /RS as this is probably slightly more accurate to hardware, but the difference is 2 or 3 clock cycles max. [Lord Nightmare]
Fixed linking of chdman.exe and romcmp.exe with Visual Studio. [Oliver Stoneberg]
Fixed incorrect DSK ROM size, shuffled around some ROM mapping, added new ROMs that were incorrectly assumed to be identical to than racedriv. The previously bad ROM checksums are now correct. Now the watchdog resets it instead of getting an address error. [Luigi30]
Added a screen layout for Space Stranger based on photos [M.A.S.H]
Added redumped sound ROM to Vs. Net Soccer (vsnetscr) [Team Japump]
Disable many unused variables as identifed by cppcheck. [Oliver Stoneberg]
Naomi: Added rounding to the GD-ROM DMA transfers, will be need for Virtua Tennis to make it boot [Deunan Knute, Angelo Salese]
AICA updates: [PluginNinja] * Implemented slot monitor * Improved ADPCM looping * General cleanup
SCSP updates [PluginNinja] * Improved slot monitor function * Various cleanups
namcos23: Varied stuff, isolate PIO, pcb test works on timecrs2c [O. Galibert]
namcos23: Quick hack to make 500gp boot [O. Galibert]
namcos23: Increase the main ram size so that crszone goes into POST [O. Galibert]
Implemented Sort-DMA irq firing [Angelo Salese]
Naomi: implemented Wave DMA HW trigger and added Wave DMA IRQ firing [Angelo Salese]
Naomi: implemented PVR-DMA HW trigger [Angelo Salese]
Fix compile error when DEBUG_GENERATION is defined [Oliver Stoneberg]
cdrom: correct header length for form 2 raw sectors [R. Belmont]
namcos23: Mirror, mirror v2 [A. Giles, O. Galibert]
Naomi: implemented mahjong panel support [Angelo Salese]
TMS5220: Made /READY timing accurate to the real chip as best as possible. Note that on the zaccaria games, possibly due to a bug in the CA2 line handler of the PIA which reads the /READY state, speech usually won't work until midway through the first game played, but works fine afterward. Not sure if that's a MAME bug or an original game bug. [Lord Nightmare]
Replaced the DEBUG_FRAME_DUMP define with a new DEBUG_PARSE_FRAME_DUMP which produces binary listings of each frame parsed. [Lord Nightmare]
Added newer Area51: Site 4 BIOS. [Guru]
sega system16 and later: first pass in the conversion of video ICs to be devices [David Haywood]
Fix swapped stereo in gauntlet and gauntlet 2. Thor (warrior)'s/red player's coin slot is toward the left, and specific sounds for that player (coin insert gong, death ditty, etc) should come from the left speaker, not the right. Verified with schematics. TODO: merge gauntlet audio into atarijsa.c since the gauntlet audio hardware is clearly the direct ancestor of the Atari JSA-i audio board, and currently is missing most of the chip specific volume controls, etc which are already implemented in atarijsa.c. [Lord Nightmare]
Improved Killing Blade encrypted DMA mode 3 [XingXing, David Haywood]
vrender0.c: converted to be a device [Fabio Priuli]
crystal.c: added driver data class [Fabio Priuli]
Improved DMA modes 1+2 in killbld, allowing all DMA operations used by the game to work and the RAM dump to be removed [XingXing, David Haywood]
added save states to the following CPU: apexc, asap, avr8, cp1610, dsp32 and f8 [Fabio Priuli]
Documentation improvements to the Sega Naomi HW games [f205v]
Added a protection RAM dump for Dragon World 3 [XingXing]
Added a delay to the GDROM DMA transfers, allows KOF Neowave to boot [Angelo Salese]
Redumped one program rom in Killing Blade [XingXing, David Haywood]
Hook up the ym2151 reset bit to the sound cpu in gauntlet, and fixed sound reset to properly reset all the sound chips and volume latches. [Lord Nightmare]
Fix race condition involving tms52xx status register which broke victory/victorba self test. Updated debug routines a bit, and improved the non-NORMALMODE a bit. [Lord Nightmare]
Improvements to Pachifever driver [Tomasz Slanina, maruwa] * replaced ic48.50 ROM with correct dump * added correct MSM clock value * added second SN76489A chip (used for sfx) * updated hw notes
Cleaned up ranout (FIFO running out mid-frame) to be accurate to hardware; Cleaned up talk status clearing to be more accurate to hardware; Cleaned up parse_frame function significantly. Added some more comments. [Lord Nightmare]
aristmk4: Hooked up the two AY8910s [Fr45h3r]
snes_snd: fix Linux 64-bit compile issues [R. Belmont]
Naomi: Improved the YUV FIFO IRQ firing, now it should be possible to emulate the YUV decoding properly [Angelo Salese]
PGM: added support for newer bios ROM [XingXing]
Corrected mask ROM numbers for HOTD2 [f205v]
Fix ZPAR (zeroed k parameters 5-10) behavior for unvoiced frames. Updated comments and debug functions. [Lord Nightmare]
Naomi: work-around for an int32 overflow bug in the renderer, makes The House of the Dead 2 / The Typing of the Dead to not crash during attract mode [Angelo Salese]
Naomi: improved Vblank-In irq timings [Angelo Salese]
Redid parameter interpolation and frame load logic so new frames don't immediately force all the Energy/Pitch/K values to the values of the old frame, but wait until their first interpolation to do so. This fix improves speech quality considerably. [Lord Nightmare]
Naomi: implemented RTC start-up values [Angelo Salese]
astrocorp.c: Added PCB layout and board information for the Skill Drop Georgia set [Brian Troha]
New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status --------------------------------------------------- Klad / Labyrinth [Black1972]

Given all the improvements on Naomi and the fact that many games are already playable, is there any reason why the playable games are still marked as preliminary instead of imperfect? (speed doesn't count, right?)

no, speed does not count.
however, flags are there because various features of the hardware are only partially emulated or not emulated at all. in other words, playability does not count either, when docs says the hardware should do certain things while MAME simply skips them completely...

The JVS HLE is not trustable, so no Naomi games are marked playable while some Atomiswave games (which use a built-in Dreamcast controller hack to connect the arcade controls) are.

At work now, but curious if any of the above fixes or helps in isolating why the theme/melody music in Gauntlet II stops after the first pass/time during the intro/demo/credit screens.
I really appreciate any work being done on this driver, and wonder what causes this issue to happen.
Thanks, Trebor

Not a bug. Pretty much every Atari game ever defaults to only having attract sound every X number of times through the attract loop. It was well appreciated by the sanity of operators

One major exception is peter pack rat: even if you turned sound attract mode OFF in the menu, it STILL plays during EVERY attract loop (not even every 8th which would have been tolerable). This explains why most arcade ops who had this game shut the machine off until someone wanted to play, as it gets INCREDIBLY annoying. This isn't true. the menu attract mode sound disable does indeed work, but when the sound is on the game plays sounds every attract cycle, instead of the usual every 8th cycle or so. This still drove operators up the wall, so those who didn't disable attract mode sounds entirely tended to leave the game unplugged, I think.
Bonus points for someone who makes a patch to the game to only play attract mode sound every n cycles.

Ah crap, my edited version of that whatsnew didn't get in. It turns out that while the sound chip hookup and arrangement on gauntlet is almost identical to the jsa-i sound board, the 6502 sound cpu hookup/mem map is NOT, so merging the sound drivers would probably be more trouble than anticipated. It's certainly doable though, with a gauntlet-specific cpu map.

That's odd. It's working here. I set the service mode option to 'NO' and exited test mode. No music or noise. I restarted MAME to make sure it took as well.

confirm what tafoid said,setting "no" completely toggles off sound in attract mode.i realized that moving between options in the dip menu took some times as it is a bit "slow",but any setting works fine

Getting outrun and afterburner working. I"m working on drivers as we speak Outrun already works, I just need to buy a force feedback wheel to figure out what to do with the output data on my end. Afterburner also works but there is an emulation bug/omission that causes the motor output data to crap out halfway throught the game. (Perhaps a watchdog?)
Then I need to re-visit the ones that were just added because I can use what I've learned from afterburner to fix the motors for galaxy force 2 and maybe, just maybe the motion seat games like rail chase and jurassic park.
Then ????
I've got a wip thread here
I keep it over there because I don't want too many mame fans bugging me on how to get force-feedback working on XXX until I have both mame and my hooker app squared away.

Love your work, and am envious too. I wish my interests allowed me to actually directly contribute to the project, but alas, external high scores are not required in MAME. Keep up the good work, so I can continue to be jealous and motivated. =D

Weird. Maybe the info I read about that was wrong, then. I apologize, and will mark it as such in my post above. IIRC peter pack rat DOES play atttract sound EVERY LOOP when attract sounds are turned on, though, but I haven't checked this recently either.

Added newer Area51: Site 4 BIOS. [Guru]
[Re: Cypress]
#221317 - 05/06/10 04:43 AM

Just wondering what ended up happening with the CHD image I provided that went with that bios revision? Was it found to be identical to the existing image with just that date difference?
BTW, Unless I'm mistaken saying this is a newer BIOS is incorrect. I believe the previous Site 4 BIOS is just the Area 51 BIOS. This should be considered the Site 4 BIOS as the BIOS is specific to the hardware.

wow a hooker app? That's something I don't remember from the old arcades... maybe in the shadier parts of town?

notice that, after some discussion, the big switch statement (which I first suggested) has been replaced by per-game callback handlers enabled at driver_init. just in case you wonder why the current code does not match your local copy.

Works for me.... It's really a matter of which type of added clutter you prefer.
When I go back this round and fix the analog outputs I would have probably had to go back and do that anyway.... it's gonna take a lot of code.

this bios has a date newer than the other one. Area 51 is completely different hardware (68020 or R3000 CPU with Atari Jaguar graphics chips) and couldnt possibly run that bios. Area 51 doesn't have a bios.

Ahh, My mistake! Not sure why I thought Area 51 had a BIOS.
Still would like to know if anyone looked at the CHD I provided with the newer date.

I believe smittdog has bumped the DU thread and now has the actual DATA so just want to try and get this looked at.

If that CHD is significantly different from the current CHD then it should be associated with the newer BIOS.

IIRC the last used BIOS isn't even from the real boards so this one should probably be hooked up on all the dumps?

It's ODD, GURU says he created the first CHD and did the documentation but no one seems to know where that BIOS came from. Maybe Ville knows???

I honestly don't know how I missed this thread. It baffles me that such a HUUUGE breakthrough in MAME went right over my head. Force feedback in MAME is something I have always wanted for YEARS! And as God is my witness, if I had the coding talent and knowledge I would have added it myself!
Howard, there honestly aren't enough thank you's in the world. This is so appreciated. By the way, if you still need an FFB Wheel to test, PM me I can help you out. Are you in the US? If so, Happy Thanksgiving my good friend

I honestly don't know why people bump up old threads like this.

Im sorry I bumped it Twisty, but I just really wanted to pubicly thank Howard for this effort. I wasn't trying to piss anyone off, just to show my gratitude. If I would have started a new thread, I was afraid you would have come in here and said "Dammit, we already have a thread about this, why make a new one?".

Just start a new thread in MAME Chat on the topic while referencing this thread - that would be the preferred way to go.
