RCA COSMAC CPU. [Curt Coder]
Imgtool Changes:
----------------
- Fixed WIMGTOOL to properly support file systems that use directory separators
other than the backslash. [tim lindner]
- Added module for create and manage psion datapack images [Sandro Ronco]

----------------
- The core is based on MAME 0.140. This incorporates all features of the
update to this core. [MAME team]
- Fixed Z80-SIO and DMA to allow trs80m2 to boot CP/M and TRSDOS. [Curt Coder]
- Fixed sector counting in TeleDisk images. [Curt Coder]
- Added automatic sector translation to the basicdsk format when the
INTERLEAVE parameter is specified in a FLOPPY_OPTION block. [Curt Coder]
- Fixed writing with the WD17xx. When writing, a timed data request will only set
the DRQ. All of the other functionality (for reading) will be omitted.
[tim lindner]
- Added support for external character generator ROM to HD61830 LCDC. [Curt Coder]
- Introduced more accurate MC6847 palette. [Ensjo]
- Refactored the HD61830 LCD to a C++ device. [Curt Coder]

'tiny' MESS compile fails...
It's not enough to add emudummy into tiny.mak in MESS folder.
Simple solution is that add bitbngr into tiny.mak though.

I clean up debugger memory search system due to the problem of searching in Hu6280 CPU used by PC-Engine.
Perhaps, it happens in changing main (MAME) core while a few versions. Memory search and cheat require to verify and fix for this CPU.
=== debugsrch.c ===
- Cleand up all codes based on C++ and added constructor/destructor for each classes.
- Moved linked list creator as member function into a class.
- Changed all 'running_machine *machine' argument to 'running_machine &machine' except init and debugger command functions.
- Improved address translation to enable to search RAM in Hu6280 CPU. Now searchable on this CPU but it needs more test in other CPU which has address translation.
- Changed the timing of creating search maps from debugsrch_init(). Especially on Hu6280 CPU, it causes wrong search map creation if done at init phase.
- Fixed value search which has wrong working.
- Changed the argument of 'searchdelete/dsdel' command. Now required 1 argument (tag of search map) and detected '!' header to delete other maps (though no argument means 'delete all search maps')
- Fixed no search result viewer update after do some commands.
Also convert new cheat system to MESS with some new function.
=== cheat.c ===
- Added new cheat entry tag '<function>'.
Quote:
<function desc="name" params="maxparams">
<action>...</action>
...
</function>
If you use it from cheat script, set "call_<function_desc>(...)".
And In a function, arguments is accepted via "paramX" variable and "return" variable is for return value you want.
Quote:
<cheat desc="test">
<script state="run">
<action>temp0 = call_assemble(2, 3)</action>
...
</script>
</cheat>
...
<function desc="assmble" params="2">
<action>return = (param0 + param1) band 0xFF</action>
</function>
In the above case, param0 = 2 and param = 3 then result value is stored into "return".
- Added new script entry tag '<loop>'
Quote:
<loop expression="condition_expresison">
<action> ... </action>
...
</loop>
If 'condition_expression' is TRUE, this repeats sub-scripts.
Quote:
<action>temp0 = 00, temp1 = 01</action>
<loop expression="temp1 lt 0100"> <!-- temp1 < 100 -->
<action>maincpu.pb@(1000 + temp0) = temp1</action>
<action>temp0++</action>
<action>temp1++</action>
</loop>
The above sample code is that filled increased value from $1000 to $1FFF.
This is very useful action but has the high-risk of freeze at the same time.
For example, the following entry causes infinite loop because condition is always TRUE.
Quote:
<action>temp0 = 00, temp1 = FF</action>
<loop expression="temp1 ge 00"> <!-- temp1 >= 00 -->
<action>maincpu.pb@(1000 + temp0) = temp1</action>
<action>temp0++</action>
<action>temp1--</action>
</loop>
