34-vk100: Some improvement to the HLE vector generator, now properly
35 emulates the down counter so the "blue screen" part of the POST looks
36 correct, as does the cursor width. [Lord Nightmare]
37
38-vk100: broke the vram access logic/math out of the vector generator
39 callback and into its own functions; fixed? the systat_a register to

52-a6809: Added ASCII keyboard. [Curt Coder]
53
54-abc806: Used correct HRUII PROM. [Curt Coder]
55
56-socrates: document that an MCU dump is missing of the 4-bit TMP42C40P
57 that decodes the IR signal from the keyboard and buffers the 'second
58 stage' of the keyboard input. Changed code slightly to reflect this.
59 [Lord Nightmare, Balrog]
60
61-z9001 : added 2xpio, ctc, daisy-chain, beeper-sound, cassout
62 [Robbbert]
63
64-v6809 : various video improvements. [Robbbert]
65
66-abc80: Refactored legacy code, moved DOS ROMs to ABC bus DOS card,
67 added BASIC V1 dump, added ABC 890 bus expander device. [Curt Coder]

70 ABC894 bus expander device, added ABC 55 keyboard for ABC 802.
71 [Curt Coder]
72
73-vt100: add the GPO (aka VT125 mono board) roms and proms as a mix of
74 NO_DUMP and copies of the vk100 ones where identical [Lord Nightmare]
75
76-vk100: further comment updates, got rid of LASTVRAM in favor of doing
77 a single read at the current nybble pointed to by the X and Y
78 registers. [Lord Nightmare]
79
80-vk100: Implemented baud generator LUT for i8251, not hooked up yet;
81 added RTS callback which doesn't seem to work yet. [Lord Nightmare]
82
83-vk100: Doing further vector rom tracing with a meter on the board
84 using the vt125 schematics as a guide, figured out what all the vector
85 rom pins do (except perhaps D LOAD). [Lord Nightmare]
86
87-vip: Added VP-620 ASCII keyboard cable, VP-570 RAM expansion board,
88 and VP-575 bus expander board. [Curt Coder]
89
90-plus4: Rewrite of the C16/Plus+4 driver with improved memory mapping
91 and cartridge support. Refactored the Commodore 1551 floppy drive to
92 connect to the expansion port. [Curt Coder]
93
94-vk100: Documented all the inputs and enables of the RAS/ERASE prom
95 through tracing. Documented that the MSB bit of the SYNC prom is ...
96 SYNC. The VT125 Schematics were invaluable for this.
97 [Lord Nightmare, Al Kossow]
98
99-sbc6510: Connected up the keyboard and added ay-3-8910 chip [Robbbert]
100
101-vii: Fixing some warnings. Not 100% sure of the intended
102 functionality, but IRQ & IRQ_MASK & line seems probable and seems to
103 work. [MooglyGuy]
104
105-c64: Fixed C1541 and FSD-2, added Dolphin DOS 2.0 and
106 Professional-DOS V1 hardware. [Curt Coder]
107
108-plus4: Added SID card emulation. [Curt Coder]
109
110-c64: Emulated the digital read circuitry of the Commodore 1541 disk
111 drive according to the long board schematics. This will allow
112 independent setting of the bitrate of incoming data and the sample
113 rate. Passing more advanced copy protections require a cycle exact
114 rewrite of the 6502 and VIA, but this is the first step toward proper
115 emulation. [Curt Coder]
116
117-vip: Added VP-700 Tiny BASIC board. [ekeefe, Curt Coder]
118
119-c64: Added support for per-byte speed zones in G64 images.

132
133-vboy: preliminary audio hookup [Richard Bannister, Gil Pedersen, R. Belmont]
134
135-x1: added support for old TAP format to the driver, so that all newly
136 added tapes work (high sample rate tapes are still not supported, though)
137 [Fabio Priuli]
138

186System Driver Changes:
187----------------------
188-vt100: Fix vt100 to use beep instead of speaker. Some work still needs to be
189 done to beep.c since the phase needs to be reset in such a way that
190 keyclicks work consistently, in addition to beeps. [Lord Nightmare]
191
192-vt100: Added missing dot stretching to the DEC VT100's dc012 emulation. See
193 EK-VT100-TM-003 page 4-76 for a description. Note the stretching takes
194 place after the character rom but before invert or other attributes.
195 [Lord Nightmare]
196
197-vk100: hook up vblank interrupt (critical selftest now passes); add
198 layout for LEDS, beginning of skeleton keyboard support.
199 [Lord Nightmare]
200
201-exelvision: use correct vsm rom [robcfg, kevtris]
202
203-vk100: Correct the labels of several proms which were unreadable on the vk100
204 that they were dumped from [nigwil]
205
206-vk100: attach keyboard [Lord Nightmare]
207
208-vk100: miscellaneous progress, slight cleanup to keyboard, stubbed and
209 implemented a bunch of vector generator addresses [Lord Nightmare]
210
211-vk100: figured out pattern rom addressing [Lord Nightmare]
212
213-vk100: implemented stubs for the rest of the VG registers
214 [Lord Nightmare]
215
216-vk100: implemented or stubbed the rest of the io registers, left
217 SYSTAT_A commented for now since its behavior is unclear. Added and
218 attached the dipswitches to SYSTAT_B (though this may well be wrong)
219 Hooked up the i8251 uart preliminarily (ints not hooked up yet)
220 [Lord Nightmare]
221
222-mc1502: added cassette input, keyboard input fix. [shattered]
223
224-iskr1031, ec1841: split machine descriptions from pc16, remove hacks
225 from pc16 and ibm5550. [shattered]
226
227-ec1841: mirror chargen memory at b800:1000 -- fixes video test 501 on
228 TPS (diagnostics) disk. [shattered]
229
230-ec1841: implement memory controller (only for 1 board yet), no support
231 for remapping banks inside the board.  Memory test in POST passes.
232 [shattered]
233
234-vk100: WIP: preliminary gfx rendering; hooked up the i8251 interrupts.
235 Corrected dipswitch locations. [Lord Nightmare]
236
237-vk100: Initial implementation of the vector generator. Rather buggy, and not
238 really readable yet, but it definitely shows something on screen, and
239 you can type and see things change! (and you see a blinking cursor
240 too!) [Lord Nightmare]
241
242-vk100: further improvements to the vector generator, still not
243 completely correct. [Lord Nightmare]
244
245-vk100: FINALLY fixed the vector generator. Display looks relatively
246 sane now. Fixed shift and capslock being reversed and added
247 port_toggle to capslock. [Lord Nightmare]
248
249-vk100: preliminary direction support for basic vectors. doesn't quite
250 work right yet. [Lord Nightmare]
251
252-vk100: Add more debugging defines, remove some unneeded code, and
253 added more comments to TODO and to some registers. [Lord Nightmare]
254
255-vk100: vector generator uses "real" timing instead of drawing the
256 vector instantly. [Lord Nightmare]
257
258-vk100: update comments to reflect that the pr1 prom is clearly the
259 VECTOR ROM. Add notes about what each address bit does or is thought
260 to do. (the tech manual documentation is lousy, but is better than
261 nothing). [Lord Nightmare]
262
263-geniusiq: Added PCB layout for the German Version. [TeamEurope]
264
265-vk100: minor cleanups to variable names, documented as much of the
266 address info of the sync and direction proms as I could figure so far.
267 [Lord Nightmare]
268
269-vk100: vector timing callback rate is now definitely correct; the tech
270 manual had an annoying error which made this hard to figure out.
271 [Lord Nightmare]
272
273-vk100: figured out bits 3,2,1 of SOPS register and implemented
274 blinking and documented serial multiplexer based on these findings.
275 Also fixed a stupid bug in the display code which broke the reverse
276 video bit. [Lord Nightmare]
277
278-vk100: properly hooked up dipswitches through the SYSTAT_A register
279 bit d2. Got rid of some dead palette code. [Lord Nightmare]
280
281-vk100: Fixed the weird ordering of the dipswitches, so everything now
282 controls what it should. [Lord Nightmare]
283
284-vk100: Add the two previously-missing PROMs (not hooked up yet);
285 Update notes a bit, correct location for the main roms according to
286 tech manual (it turns out you count from the lower right corner
287 upward, not upper right downward). [Lord Nightmare, Balrog, Andy V.]
288
289-vk100: Comment wrangling and some analysis of the newly dumped proms.
290 Still some work to be done here especially on the vector prom.
291 [Lord Nightmare]
292
293-vidbrain: Fixed graphics corruption in Lemonade Stand. [Sean Riddle]
294
295-vidbrain: Fixed memory map, improved colors. [Sean Riddle]
296
297-mc1502: preliminary floppy support. Still not functional [shattered]
298
299-pc: fixes the sound in Arkanoid, which doesn't use the 8253 at all.
300 [shattered]
301
302-llc1:  [Robbbert]
303 * Identified monitor keys
304 * Turns out new monitor rom is also a bad dump
305 * Added patches to make the system usable
306
307-vk100: more comment updates based on shared info from VT125 tech
308 manual [Lord Nightmare]
309
310-vk100: slight documentation updates, traced sync rom A4 completely.

356-dmv: Added keyboard mcu rom content [rfka01]
357
358-intellivision: update comments and fix rom locations on intv1
359 hardware. Note the intv1 exec.bin still needs to be split to the two
360 separate roms that the real hardware used. [Lord Nightmare]
361
362-intellivision: enabled the c000-cfff area for cart rom access; while
363 no commercial carts used this afaik, at least one homebrew cart does
364 and won't work without it. (actually this was in the previous commit
365 by accident) Corrected the manufacturer/name of the Sears Super Video
366 Arcade. [Lord Nightmare]
367
368-thomson: Performance improvements and bug-fixes: more efficient bank
369 switching, fixed video update (Mach 3, Sparce Racer, HCL), fixed game
370 PIA port B, fixed side-effect in debugger, fixed MO6 cassette.
371 [Fabrice Bellet]
372
373-vidbrain: Improved video timings and correct CPU clock.
374 [Kurt Woloch, Sean Riddle, Curt Coder]
375
376-ep804/digel804: a lot of documentation updates, fixed location of roms
377 to match schematics; documented the ram expansion pinout.
378 [Lord Nightmare, balrog]
379
380-sc3000: Added support for the SC-3000 Survivors *.bit cassette file
381 format. [Curt Coder, SC-3000 Survivor]
382
383-vip: Added byte I/O and expansion slot interfaces. [Curt Coder]
384
385-sc3000: Moved the fake BIOS to cartridge software list. SC-3000 does
386 not have an internal BIOS, instead a BASIC or other cartridge needs to
387 be plugged in manually. E.g. "mess sc3000 basic3" [Curt Coder]
388
389-vip: Connected the byte I/O and expansion ports. Refactored the
390 VP550, VP590, and VP595 to implement the expansion slot interface.
391 [Curt Coder]
392
393-vip: Added beeper on/off switch, and VP585 board. [Curt Coder]
394
395-ti99: gromport redesigned, now offering three slot options "single"
396 (default) / "multi" / "gkracker" determining the set of cartridge
397 slots (cart or cart1/2/3/4). Cartridge insertion may be set to trigger
398 RESET or not. TI consoles now have a dedicated RESET line, connected
399 to the RESET input of the CPU and VDP. [Michael Zapf]
400
401-DEC VK100/GIGI documentation update; document two missing proms,
402 correct (I hope) IC locations (until we can get schematics) using the
403 DEC system of counting from the top right corner downward and shifting
404 one column to the left at the end, and documented the (sometimes
405 barely/illegible) markings on the proms.

444 memory [Michael Zapf]
445
446-tms99xx: Introduced symbolic constants for interrupt lines. Added a
447 special RESET line which is handled by the CPU, not by the emulator
448 core. tms9928a/v9938: Introduced dedicated RESET line. [Michael Zapf]

752
753-m20: Hook up PIT timers 1 and 2 to clock the 8251s.  Serial data
754 written to the keyboard is weird - maybe wrong values for the PIT
755 timers? [R. Belmont]

820 Added internal SCSI ROM dump for the XVI. [Anna Wu, Barry Rodewald]
821
822-apple2: Added "The Mill" 6809 card.  BASIC demo program works; OS9
823 and Excel Flex appear to need undumped additional ROMs. [R. Belmont]
824
825-pc: Corrected SN76496 clocks to /4 of sysclock instead of /5, fixes
826 pitch to match video [MooglyGuy, Kef Schecter]
827

829
830-c64: Added preliminary support for the IDE64 v4.1 cartridge.

833
834-vectrex: support 64k bankswitched carts and carts with SRAM
835 [mkasick, kbare]
836
837-IBM PC drivers: Implemented the PC keyboard connector as a slot
838 device. In the future this will allow the user to select which
839 keybaord to use with an emulated PC. Converted the Keytronic PC3270
840 keyboard implementation to C++ as an example pc keyboard.
841 [Wilbert Pol]
842
843-osborne1: Added IEEE-488 bus. [Curt Coder]
844
845-PC Drivers: Updated remaining PC/XT and AT drivers to use the
846 keyboard slot implementation. Removed legacy device implementation for
847 the Keytronic keyboard. Removed an unneeded include from
848 drivers/amstr_pc.c.  [Wilbert Pol]
849
850-DEC Rainbow: fleshed out the Z80 side including partial WD1793 hookup
851 and correct shared RAM handling, but system doesn't get any further
852 yet. [R. Belmont]
853
854-DEC Rainbow: initial Z80/8088 comms work, ends with Error 10 now instead
855 of 18 [R. Belmont]
856
857-DEC Rainbow: Hooked up VBL and Z80->8088 IRQs.  Still doesn't boot,
858 but closer than ever. [R. Belmont]
859
860-DEC Rainbow: 82/83 to the diagnostic port is meant to reboot the Z80.
861 This passes the "memory arbitration test". [R. Belmont]
862
863-DEC Rainbow: Improved Z80 control, fixed weird garbage on screen and
864 eliminated "Z80 response" system error. [R. Belmont]

877-snes.xml: finished documenting unreleased titles, very special thanks
878 to Evan of snes central who made this a piece of cake [MESSfan]
879
880Source Changes:
881----------------
882-ap2_dsk: added some missing defines and comments and a way to select
883 whether to use lenient (if the address mark contents are sane
884 regardless of whether the checksum byte was good or not) or normal
885 (only if checksum was valid) usage of the address marks. Also switched
886 the default output sector order from prodos order to dos3.3 order,
887 which is slightly more useful. Added a define to switch between the
888 three possible sector orderings: prodos, dos3.3, and logical.
889 [Lord Nightmare]
890
891-dfi_dsk.c: fixed a nasty bug when reading df bytes with 0x80 set
892 throwing the timing way off; this makes most disk images decode a
893 whole heck of a lot better. ap2_dsk.c: fixed a nasty
894 array-out-of-bounds access problem if an address mark with an insane
895 sector value in it is read. [Lord Nightmare, Phil Pemberton]
896
897-Fixed a logic bug in the dfi header check which surprisingly doesn't
898 come up at all on GCC (compiler bug?) but does happen on clang. Also
899 disabled some accidentally enabled debug code, and handle the case of
900 no index transitions at all properly. [Lord Nightmare, Balrog]
901
902-Fix bug found by Clang (behavior *appears* correct but can't verify)
903 [Balrog, R. Belmont]
904
905-3c505 improvements.  Netbooting a MESS Apollo instance off a second
906 MESS Apollo instance is now possible, and Domain/OS 10.4 works.
907 [Hans Ostermeyer]
908
909-Various Clang warning cleanups (and a few actual bugfixes) [Balrog]
910
911-i386: Big pmode update.  OS/2 2.1 more or less runs now.  [Carl]
912
913-ap2_dsk.c: Preliminary, working RWTS18 decoding support; Decodes disks
914 and shows ascii text; not sure if sectors are in the correct order
915 yet. [Lord Nightmare, Balrog, Roland Gustafsson]

939 and WXGA (1280x800) displays. [Hans Ostermeyer]
940-apple2: Added Microsoft SoftCard.  Works only on apple2 and apple2p for now,
941 and only with Microsoft's CP/M boot disks. [R. Belmont]
942-sms: Prevent a crash in sms1pal and some optimizations.  [Enik Land]
943-c64: Added support for the Currah Speech 64 cartridge, pitch is not spot on yet. [Curt Coder]
944-c64: Added support for the NeoRAM cartridge. [Curt Coder]
945-c64: Added support for the Commodore CP/M cartridge. VICE Team, your move ;) [Curt Coder, R. Belmont]
946-adam: Improved the cassette emulation:
947   - added ddp tape image support
948   - edited cassette.c to allow speed / direction / channel selection
949   - changed cassimg.c so multichannel tapes work [huygens]
950-c64: Added support for the 4040+Fast Hack'em cartridge. [Curt Coder]
951-mk83: fixed video, computer responds to commands. [Robbbert]
952-sapi: SAPI1 - modernised. SAPI2 connected to ascii keyboard, works.
953 Sapi3 connected to terminal. Needs a boot disk & fdc.  [Robbbert]
954-apple2: Added Videx VideoTerm card emulation for slot 3 on II/II+ [R. Belmont]
955-apple2: cards that don't take over c800 now don't have to.
956 Fixes SoftCard compatibility with VideoTerm and IIe - CP/M now
957 runs in 80 columns in those setups. [R. Belmont]
958-apple2gs: writes to card CnXX and C800 space now honored.
959 CFFA2 settings changes work. [R. Belmont]
960-apple2: Fixed reset bit for Mockingboard/Phasor.  Fixes stuck sounds
961 in Mockingboard and Phasor utility programs. [R. Belmont]
962-apple2: Enabled AE Phasor, it works pretty well now [R. Belmont]
963-apple2: Added Super Serial Card.  Not terribly useful at present,
964 but should get interesting in the future. [R. Belmont]
965-apple2: added /INH support to the slots for the D000-FFFF region and
966 added IAI SwyftCard support.  (It must go in slot 3 of a IIe!)
967

973----------------
974-3c505: Switched to using core device_network_interface [Hans Ostermeyer]
975-Add multiread support (behind a define for now pending heuristics) to the
976 dfi import support. Fix some inaccuracies regarding index decode position in dfi files. [Lord Nightmare]
977-Modern apple 2 disk decoder for 16-sector disk images implemented using Olivier's
978 new system for floptool. Only supports importing from .dfi 50mhz multi-read x3
979 images at the moment. [Lord Nightmare, Balrog, Jason Scott, Karsten Scheibler]
980-fix dsk export from floptool so it can work with just one .dfi read instead of
981 needing 3 reads. Tested at 50mhz sampling rate only. [Lord Nightmare]
982-More work on dfi and apple2 modern disk stuff; most of the auto speed recognition
983 stuff is in the dfi handler now but the actual data scaling to match the internal
984 mfi 200mhz sample rate stream is not done yet. There are also some likely issues
985 with beginnings and ends of index pulses. Brickwall windowing has been implemented
986 for dfi for regeneration of missed transitions from marginal reads as well as discarding of noise.
987 A histogram has been added (disabled by default) for dfi format as well.
988 [Lord Nightmare, Phil Pemberton, Balrog]
989-Some additional tweaks to ap2 and dfi stuff; disabled the horribly broken load()
990 code in ap2_dsk. [Lord Nightmare, Balrog]
991-ap2_dsk.c: beginnings of 13-sector format support. gives a warning if you try to read one so far.
992-dfi_dsk.c: fix a bug involving offsets read from source file per track which caused an
993 occasional 0xFF byte to end up in the stream (reading off end of file buffer) [Lord Nightmare]
994-ap2_dsk now produces valid, runnable ProDOS-order .po disk images. [Lord Nightmare, adtpro]

1012-pmd85: added support for loading .ptp cassette images. [Sandro Ronco]
1013-apple2: Apple II slots rewrite [R. Belmont]
1014 All Apple IIs that had slots now have them in MESS except the IIgs.
1015 Slot 0 has one available card: the language card (which it defaults to)
1016 Slots 1-7 can have any of the Mockingboard, CFFA2000, and Disk II cards. 
1017 By default a Mockingboard is in Slot 4 and the Disk II is in 6.  Due to
1018 current limitations only one Disk II controller per machine will work, but
1019 multiple CFFAs and Mockingboards should work great. 
1020 The plain 6502 firmware version of the CFFA2000 is now supported so you can
1021 use CHDs with the emulated II Plus and unenhanced IIe as well.
1022 5.25" disks are broken on the IIgs at the moment; I'm looking into it.
1023-iskr1030: Year/manufacturer fixes. [AntoPISA]
1024- Apple II updates [R. Belmont]:
1025   - Improved C800 arbitration
1026   - Cleanup and more documentation
1027   - New working card: Apple II "Slinky" 1 MB Memory Expansion Card
1028   - New non-working card: Apple II SCSI Card, Rev. C
1029- Apple IIgs: User-configured slots now available.  Boot 6.0.1 and use
1030  the Slots Control Panel to set the desired slots to Your Card to use. [R. Belmont]
1031- Apple II: Support AE RamFactor card (clone of Apple Memory Expansion) [R. Belmont]
1032- Apple II: Fixed C800 banking with INTCXROM and implemented RamFactor card
1033  ROM banking.  RamFactor diagnostic (g Cn0a in the Monitor) now works.
1034- Apple II: RamFactor cards now have 8 MB capacity each [R. Belmont]
1035- Apple II: Even more slot ROM arbitration work.  80 column mode works on IIe again,
1036  and AppleWorks 3 no longer crashes on boot. [R. Belmont]
1037- Apple II: Allow slot 3 to be used by cards on II/II+. [R. Belmont]

1165-n64: Force mtc0 opcodes that initiate to-RSP DMAs to end recompile
1166 sequences to force a code check. Fixes certain microcodes from executing
1167 garbage code after DMA. [Ryan Holtz]
1168 - Miscellaneous machine fixes, gets Conker's Bad Fur Day to boot through
1169   its legal screens with interpreter MIPS.
1170   - Increase the amount of time consumed by PI DMA, makes certain RSP
1171     microcodes that test DMA speed land in the correct window.
1172   - Force the main CPU to yield when the RSP reads its atomic semaphore.
1173   - Force the RSP to yield when PI DMA completes.
1174   - Flush the RSP DRC cache when touching IMEM with SP DMA.
1175 - Increase CPU/RSP interleave from 600Hz to 1200Hz, seems to be just
1176   enough for RSP-side PI DMA tests to land correctly.
1177 - Don't flush the RSP DRC cache on DMA. Fixes Mario 64 and others.
1178 - Fix audio sync issues in Super Mario 64 and probably others, and
1179   also bring PI DMA speed into the realm of reality.
1180 - Change PI DMA speed from 3 cycles/word to 5.08 cycles, as average
1181   PI speed is between 2.53 and 2.55 cycles/byte.
1182
1183-vic20: Added support for loading .crt files. Note: this will only
1184 work if the first 2 bytes of the file contain the loading address,
1185 and only for single part cartridges. Please use the MESS software
1186 list instead of loose files. [Curt Coder]

1196-ti99.xml: Added softlist support to ti99. XML file is still preliminary,
1197  must be filled with more entries. Only two cartridge PCB types
1198  supported (standard/paged) at this time. RPK will continue to be
1199  available. [Michael Zapf]
1200-apple1.xml: added a few more tapes [Anon01]

1202
1203Source Changes:
1204----------------
1205- 680x0: Ensure fc/rw and fault address are consistant [O. Galibert]
1206- i386: Prevent page faults when returning to same privilege and unmapped
1207  pages are above the stack.  Windows 95 boots now. [Carl]
1208- Modernized terminal device and added possibility to change comm parameters [Carl]
1209- i386: LOCK prefix should depend on IOPL on 386.  Windows NT beta boots. [Carl]
1210- info.c: several fixes and additions to listxml output [Fabio Priuli]
1211  - appended to xml info about devices which can be optionally mounted to slots
1212  - added a description attribute to slotoption to show which devices can be mounted
1213    in each slot
1214  - added to xml info of cpus/inputs/image/slots which are relative to devices (e.g. CPUs
1215    or Dipswitches in the device itself)
1216  - tags of elements directly attached to the root_device do not display anymore the
1217    root colon (slot tags were already behaving in this way); elements attached to optional
1218    devices use tags starting with colon (to be interpreted as a relative tags which gets
1219    appended to the device tag, when such a device is selected in a slot)
1220  - modified when necessary output routines to pass a root_device and a root_tag as
1221    parameters, in order to simplify output of relative devices and avoid duplicated code
1222  - updated DTD according to the new elements and attributes
1223  These changes allow frontends to know in advance how drivers can be configured
1224  through the various slot options (by matching option descriptions with device
1225  descriptions), without the need to run -lx with the various slot combinations. This is
1226  especially of use if a device adds e.g. dipswitches or image devices (like additional
1227  floppy drives or additional slot expansions), but also if one wants to know e.g. how many
1228  sound channels a soundcard would add to a pc driver, or which kind of screen parameters
1229  would be added by a specific choice of video card.

1287      first 4K replaced with a CIC-6102 or other game's boot block.
1288  - Tweaked MI interrupt handling to guard against interrupts getting "lost"
1289  - Hook up 64DD RTC and interrupts. Please insert disc.
1290  - Warm reset support.
1291  - Get Jet Force Gemini to boot and Ocarina of Time to boot without crashing.
1292    - Use bitmap.fill instead of a manual fill when blanking to avoid trashing memory.
1293    - Return DP start/end/current/status/clock registers at correct window for RSP to see.
1294    - Clear DP clock when requested by writing the right bit in DP_STATUS_REG.
1295    - Avoid modifying SP DMA length register during DMA, to return correct reads
1296        on SP_RD_LEN and SP_WR_LEN.

1928  now playable; WALLE added details of alternate dump. [Robbbert]
1929- walle - fixed graphics problem, game now playable [Robbbert]
1930- atarist, wd1772: Finish implementing read ids, correct
1931  DMA byte counting, Chase HQ works [O. Galibert]
1932- Fix incorrect masking of register writes on ay-3-8914,
1933  fixes wrong envelope amplitude on games which use hardware
1934  enveloping on Intellivision/2 (Thunder Castle, etc) [Huygens]

1941  intellivoice / console volume balance [Huygens]
1942- iskr3104: Added roms of EGA graphics card [temaperm]

1946  (640x870 b&w) [Breiztiger, R. Belmont]
1947- abc1600: System now boots into ABCenix, but there is
1948  no support for hard disk yet so it's unusable. [Curt Coder]
1949
1950Software Lists:
1951----------------
1952- intv.xml: serial numbers, usage info, and a bunch of new
1953  rom entries [k1w1]

1956  number of cart profiles cross the 500 milestone, thanks to all
1957  people involved. [MESSfan, JohnDie, Zidanax]

1972- Fix for cursor handling in dl1416 [Lord Nightmare]
1973- wd1772: Add read ids support [O. Galibert]
1974- Store the character codes and cursor states in ram and use
1975  the lookup rom to decode on display (as the real chip does
1976  according to the datasheet) rather than storing the segment
1977  contents in ram. This makes the DL1416 device act more like
1978  the real chip, where on power-up you see random but
1979  recognizable characters, rather than random gibberish.
1980  Note there's a lot of code duplication to check cursor
1981  state and invalid/blank crap which can probably either go
1982  behind a define or be its own function, or into the display
1983  wrapper function itself. [Lord Nightmare]

1985  -nohc option from command line (windows only) [Robbbert,hap]

5485
5486- [C16] Added support for tape emulation using MESS core functions (only
5487  loading, both .wav and .tap formats) [Fabio Priuli, Roberto Zandona']
5488
5489- [C16] Refactored cartridge code to rely on MESS core functions. As
5490  a result carts are now working. Also removed -cart2 device, since
5491  C16 / C116 / Plus4 had only a single cartridge port. [Fabio Priuli]
5492
5493- [C16] Fixed behavior of Joystick Ports Swapping: if you press F1 in
5494  partial keyboard emulation, Joy1 keys will go to Joy2 port (as if you
5495  had plugged your joystick in port 2). This helps with games which expect
5496  joystick inputs from port 2 of the C16 [Fabio Priuli]
5497
5498- [C128] Added support for tape emulation using MESS core functions
5499  (loading and saving, both .wav and .tap formats) [Fabio Priuli]
5500
5501- [C128] Refactored cartridge code to rely on MESS core functions.
5502  Currently, .crt emulation uses unmodified C64 cart code and therefore
5503  support has not improved (yet) [Fabio Priuli]
5504
5505- [C64] Added support for tape emulation using MESS core functions
5506  (loading and saving, both .wav and .tap formats) [Fabio Priuli, Roberto
5507  Zandona']
5508

5514  the chip draws only one line. [Roberto Zandona']
5515
5516- [C64] Modified VIC II implementation: modified resolutions for NTSC and
5517  PAL modes [Roberto Zandona']
5518
5519- [C64] Refactored cartridge code to rely on MESS core functions and
5520  generally cleaned up cart code. Support is still limited to Type 0 Carts
5521  (8k and 16k images) [Fabio Priuli]
5522
5523- [C64] Fixed behavior of Joystick Ports Swapping: if you press F1 in
5524  partial keyboard emulation, Joy1 keys will go to Joy2 port (as if you
5525  had plugged your joystick in port 2). This helps with games which expect
5526  joystick inputs from port 2 of the C64 [Fabio Priuli]
5527
5528- [C64] Fixed memory leaks with floppies [Oliver Stöneberg]
5529
5530- [C64] Fixed floppy unmounting [Oliver Stöneberg]
5531
5532- [C65] Added preliminary cartridge support through MESS core functions.
5533  Currently, .crt emulation uses unmodified C64 cart code and therefore
5534  is not working [Fabio Priuli]
5535
5536- [CBMB] Refactored cartridge code to rely on MESS core functions. Disabled
5537  .crt support (.10, .20, .40 and .60 files working as before) since I
5538  doubt these CBM-II computers used the same format as C64. More work
5539  when/if more documents will be available [Fabio Priuli]
5540
5541- [CGENIE] Properly implemented the cassette loading.  [Wilbert Pol]
5542
5543- [COMMODORE] Properly fixed asserts / freezes / crashes in systems with
5544  VC1540 / VC1541 floppy support which had been promoted from TESTDRIVER
5545  status. However, they are flagged as NOT_WORKING because the floppy
5546  emulation is not implemented yet. [Fabio Priuli]
5547
5548- [COMMODORE] Cleaned up documentation and comments in c16.c, c64.c, c65.c,
5549  c128.c, cbmb.c, pet.c and vc20.c. Added missing BASIC revisions, new
5550  sets and new clones. Removed models and configurations which were never
5551  sold. In particular, I've tagged as BAD_DUMPS most of the C128/C128D PAL
5552  BIOSes and started to use split kernal & character ROMs to make clear
5553  their origin and possible incompleteness. When dumps will be confirmed,
5554  we will start to use the correct ones. If you own a C128 PAL, please
5555  dump its BIOS to verify its content. [Fabio Priuli]
5556
5557- [EXIDY] Added support for cassette images. [Robbbert, Wilbert Pol]
5558

5562  22" with all disk images (remaining part of bug #1479). Famicom Disk
5563  System is back to working status [Fabio Priuli]
5564
5565- [GENESIS / MD] Added possibility to choose between a 3 buttons and a 6
5566  buttons Joypad. [Fabio Priuli]
5567
5568- [GENESIS / MD] Fixed SRAM saving & loading in many games [Fabio Priuli]
5569
5570- [GENEVE] Fixed RTC to start on Sunday.  [Michael Zapf]

5579  working, including the "Säkkijärven polkka" program. [Curt Coder]
5580
5581- [JUPITER] Fixed regression; driver works again.  [Wilbert Pol]
5582
5583- [MAX] Fixed cart loading (both bug #1618 and a problem with the loading
5584  address). Commodore Ultimax / Max Machine / VIC-10 is now working. [Fabio
5585  Priuli]

5595- [MSX/MSX2] Updated several rom sets to match their original hardware
5596  configurations. [Wilbert Pol]
5597
5598- [PET] Refactored cartridge code to rely on MESS core functions. Disabled
5599  .crt support (.a0 and .b0 files working as before) since I doubt these
5600  computers used the same format as C64. More work when/if more documents
5601  will be available [Fabio Priuli]
5602
5603- [SG1000] Lightgun crosshair is now shown only if TV Draw cartridge is
5604  loaded. [Curt Coder]
5605
5606- [SNES] Improved special chips detection (if you run MESS with -log you will
5607  be warned of the presence of unemulated chips in error.log), memory
5608  handling, cart and SRAM mirroring [Fabio Priuli]
5609
5610- [SNES] Fixed inputs in Super Street Fighter 2 (bug #437) [Fabio Priuli]

5625  (loading and saving, both .wav and .tap formats) [Fabio Priuli]
5626
5627- [VIC20] Refactored cartridge code to rely on MESS core functions. As
5628  a result carts are now working (fixed remaining half of bug #1603). Also
5629  added proper banking for cart2, making defender, submarin and other
5630  multifile carts work [Fabio Priuli]
5631
5632- [VIP] Fixed memory banking, added discrete sound, added tape support,
5633  and improved quickloading so that the CHIP-8(X) interpreter is automatically

9537  Game Collections now work. Note that Sound Cartridge also behaves as a
9538  normal SCC.
9539
9540  With one cartridge supplied the FM-PAC is still set in slot 2 so
9541  R-Type and other ROM cartridges can still use it. [Sean Young]

9683
9684User Interface Changes:
9685-----------------------
9686- HOME and DEL now have default natural keyboard bindings, to ASCII values
9687  12 and 8 respectively.  For systems that use a key with those values, like

9707  parameter layer.  Read/write cassette images are now supported.  Also moved
9708  CoCo, Apple II and PC drivers onto the new floppy system.  Note that there
9709  is potential for breakage here, but in the long run both of these overhauls
9710  will be worth it.  [Nate Woods]
9711
9712- Fixed cheat engine.  [Nate Woods]
9713
9714- The documentation was gutted and integrated with Paul Vince's easyEmu

9820- [COCO3] Fixed a bug whereby $FE00-$FEFF would be mapped to the wrong memory
9821  when bit 3 of $FF90 was set when more than 512k was available.  This caused
9822  some NitrOS-9 programs to crash when allocating too much memory (bug #352).
9823  [Nate Woods]
9824
9825- [COCO3] Added '_' to the supported keys for the natural keyboard.  '_' is
9826  specific to [Nitr]OS-9. [Nate Woods]

9874  latter two can be used with IPF_PLAYER masks.  Also removed legacy
9875  IPT_SELECT1-4, and IPT_START1-4 should no longer be used by MESS.
9876  [Nate Woods]
9877
9878- Tripled the delay in which wd179x errors are reported.  This manifested
9879  itself in the CoCo driver by an emulated crash on some versions of NitrOS-9

10436Source Changes:
10437---------------
10438- The MESS core will not automatically open software images in a clone system
10439  drivers directory anymore, under the belief that this functionality belongs
10440  in the OSD code. [Nate Woods]
10441
10442- All MESS drivers need a SYSTEM_CONFIG (formerly COMPUTER_CONFIG) parameter
10443  specified.  Also changed the implementation of the SYSTEM_CONFIG_* macros to
10444  provide a more flexible system for representing the data.
10445
10446  Added the ability for devices to be declared within the SYSTEM_CONFIG block.
10447  Consider the older way of declaring devices deprecated.
10448
10449  Added new functions for iterating through devices, in order to better
10450  abstract the internal representation of devices:
10451
10452   device_first()
10453   device_next()
10454   device_find()
10455
10456  Also renamed GameDriver dev field to dev_ in order to break any source
10457  dependencies on the dev field. [Nate Woods]
10458
10459- Added new memory pool code that implements memory pools that can be freed in
10460  one step. [Nate Woods]
10461
10462- Overhaul of code that maintained the list of loaded images; moved to
10463  mess/image.[c|h], and changed the prefix of them from device_ to image_ (as
10464  opposed to the device_* calls that are used to access the IODevice
10465  structure).  Also, implemented these new calls for drivers to use:
10466
10467   image_malloc()    (similar to auto_malloc(), but for the lifetime of devices)
10468   image_strdup()    (uses image_malloc() to allocate strings)
10469   image_exists()    (tests for the existance of a loaded image)
10470   image_filetype()  (accessor for file extension)
10471
10472  For the most part, there is no longer any reason for MESS drivers to use
10473  malloc() and free(), so calls to these should be eliminated over time. [Nate
10474  Woods]
10475
10476- Removed IO_RESET_ALL, as it was broken and an ugly hack to begin with (bug
10477  #239) [Nate Woods]
10478
10479- In the opening display software info box, if the filename and the goodname
10480  (as determined by CRC) match up, the goodname will not be displayed in
10481  order to reduce screen clutter. [Nate Woods]
10482
10483- Removed all calls to device_close(IO_CASSETTE) in system drivers, instead
10484  provided a cassette_exit() function that drivers can specify, removing this
10485  responsibility from system drivers. [Nate Woods]
10486
10487- Implemented preliminary paste functionality; it attempts to decode the
10488  driver's input tables and attempts to create a mapping between ASCII and
10489  input signals.  This process is far from perfect at this time.  In the
10490  future, it will be possible for drivers to customize the way that paste works
10491  for a more perfect translation.  [Nate Woods]
10492
10493- Added new PORT_KEYx macros that should be used in place of PORT_BITX when
10494  mapping keyboards.  These macros also specify unicode values for the input
10495  codes for natural keyboard support.  [Nate Woods]
10496
10497- Added a new osd_keyboard_disabled() call.  If this returns non-zero, then
10498  the core will supress input of type IPT_KEYBOARD.  This is useful if a front
10499  end wants to implement a natural keyboard.  [Nate Woods]
10500
10501- Added a new osd_parallelize() call, for basic SMP acceleration.  [Nate Woods]
10502
10503- Renamed osd_dir.h to osd_mess.h, to further reflect that it is more than just
10504  directory calls.  [Nate Woods]
10505
10506- [Win32] New -threads parameter, to specify the maximum amount of threads used
10507  for osd_parallelize(); defaults to the number of processors in the system.
10508  [Nate Woods]
10509
10510- [Win32 GUI] Printers are now treated separately from the other devices; you
10511  do not specify printer ouput like you do disk images.  Printer output now
10512  gets specified in the configuration tab of the system properties.  The added
10513  benefit is that the same output file can be used repeatedly. [Nate Woods]
10514
10515- [Imgtool] Imgtool floppy drivers can now be "templated"; a driver for a
10516  particular file system format can point at a structure that lists allowable
10517  disk image formats.  This allows for the addition of new disk image format
10518  drivers without touching the imgtool drivers. [Nate Woods]
10519
10520- [Imgtool] Fixed a bug in the FormatDriver handling that caused some file puts
10521  to not be properly written.  [Nate Woods]
10522
10523- [Imgtool] Added Color Computer DMK disk image support. [tim lindner]
10524
105250.61
10526
10527New System Drivers Supported (in no particular order):
10528------------------------------------------------------
10529- Super GameBoy [Anthony Kruize]
10530- GameBoy Color (preliminary) [Anthony Kruize]
10531- Innumerable Sega Master System Variants [Mike Luong]
10532
10533Removed drivers:
10534----------------------
10535- Amstrad
10536- Chess Champion I
10537- Sinclair ZX Family
10538- Studio 2
10539
10540System Driver Changes:
10541----------------------
10542- [COCO] The virtual printer should now be responsive to bitbanger output of
10543  any arbitrary baud. [Nate Woods]
10544
10545- [COCO] Fixed a OKI M6242B clock emulation problem and a problem with Disto
10546  Real Time Clock emulation. [tim lindner]
10547
10548- [COCO] Fixed a very ugly bug that could cause freezups under OS-9 and other
10549  forms of disk accesses.  This was because interrupts were dropped when the
10550  CPU is halted. (Bugs #197, #229) [Nate Woods]
10551
10552- [COCO3] Fixed a bug in the GIME video emulation that caused all parts of
10553  the $FF9B/D/E video registers to be used in lo-res mode; where in reality
10554  the low 16 bits are dropped.  This caused a bug in CoCoTracker that caused
10555  the screen to be garbled after the MOD files are played. [Nate Woods]
10556
10557- [COCO3] Adjusted composite colors slightly with help from SockMaster (Bug
10558  #227) [John Kowalski, Nate Woods]
10559
10560- [COCO3] Exposed the two high bits on MMU registers (even though their value
10561  is undefined) to fix a problem with SockMaster's LSAVEM utility. [Nate Woods]
10562
10563- [COLECO] The Coleco driver now recognizes the *.col extension for Coleco
10564  cartridges. [Nate Woods]
10565
10566- [SPECPL3E] Updated BIOS to the 1.11 version romset
10567  (http://www.z88forever.org.uk/zxplus3e/) [Stefano Priore]
10568
10569- [GAMEBOY] Can now load ROMs that are larger than 2MB. Fixed RAM bank
10570  switching in MBC3 ROMs. [Anthony Kruize]
10571
10572- [COUPE] Combined coupe and coupe512 drivers into one driver that uses
10573  configurable RAM sizes. [Nate Woods]
10574
10575- [A2600] Converted video code from using plot_pixel() to draw_scanline() [Nate
10576  Woods]
10577
10578- [VTECH1] Converted back to using generic M6847 video hardware module (Bug #36)
10579  [Nate Woods]
10580
10581- [SNES] Rewrite of the driver.  Still at a preliminary stage though. Some
10582  games are playable, others run but aren't playable, however most don't work.
10583  [Anthony Kruize]
10584
10585- [VECTREX] Because of the MAME core's new artwork system, new .art files are
10586  now needed in conjunction with the normal Vectrex .png files to specify the
10587  artwork layout. [Nate Woods]
10588
10589- [GENESIS] Changed input ports to be consistent with other drivers.
10590  [Anthony Kruize]
10591
10592Source Changes:
10593---------------
10594- The core is based on MAME 0.61.  This incorporates all features of the
10595  update to this core.  [MAME team]
10596
10597- Converted numerous drivers to use the auto_malloc() and auto_bitmap_alloc()
10598  calls, and also to use generic_bitmapped video calls. [Nate Woods]
10599
10600- Added new videomap code that makes it easy to support arbitrary video modes
10601  in a fast, efficient manner.  This takes the place of the old
10602  rasterbits/rastertrack code; converted m6847, CoCo 3, and Mac video hardware
10603  to use videomap. [Nate Woods]
10604
10605- Added a new disk format handling system that allows disk formats to be
10606  generically specified in such a way usable by both MESS itself, and imgtool
10607  [Nate Woods]
10608
10609- Fixed a bug in the wave code that could cause a crash if a cassette image is
10610  unloaded. [Nate Woods]
10611
10612- Added a [none] entry in the File Manager, that allows the user to unload an
10613  image. [Nate Woods]
10614
10615- The file manager will now default to the directory that a preexisting image
10616  resides in. [Nate Woods]
10617
10618- Fixed some bugs that caused the battery backups in the NES and GB systems to
10619  be placed in odd directories. [Nate Woods]
10620
10621- Added palette_set_colors() function to make it easy to initialize a palette
10622  with a predefined list of colors. [Nate Woods]
10623
10624- Readded record/playback support. [Nate Woods]
10625
10626- Added artwork_use_device_art() to the MAME core to support Vectrex style
10627  artwork. [Nate Woods]
10628
10629- Fixed bugs #192 and #200 - remember that:
10630
10631  1) In File Manager you can press SHIFT+ENTER to manually edit a filename
10632     and CTRL-Y to delete the field.
10633
10634  2) In the file selector you can edit the file specification and you can use
10635     SHIFT+UP/DOWN as PgUp/PgDown and
10636     CTRL+UP/DOWN as Home/End. [Stefano Priore]
10637
10638- With help from SockMaster, fixed some very subtle timer bugs in the m6809
10639  and hd6309 CPU cores [Nate Woods, tim lindner, John Kowalski]
10640
10641- New OSD function:
10642
10643      void osd_device_eject(int type, int id);
10644
10645  It sets a device image to NULL, as would a device_filename_change(type, id,
10646  NULL), but enables osd code to update its osd structures.  The mac and lisa
10647  drivers will use this function instead of device_filename_change to eject
10648  floppy disks.
10649
10650  This function is needed because the mac osd code keeps track of each
10651  selected file, and the data went out of sync when device_filename_change
10652  was called. [Raphael Nabet]
10653
10654- [GUI] Fixed a very minor bug that caused the software list view background
10655  to not be updated at the same time as the system list if the snap directory
10656  was changed. [Nate Woods]
10657
106580.56.1
10659
10660New System Drivers Supported (in no particular order):
10661------------------------------------------------------
10662- Dragon 64 [Nate Woods]
10663- PK-01 Lviv (three ROM revisions) [Krzysztof Strzecha]
10664- Microbee 32 PC [Stefano Priore]
10665- ZX Spectrum +3e (Spain) [Stefano Priore]
10666- TI-99/4P (preliminary) [Raphael Nabet]
10667- TI-990/10 [Raphael Nabet]
10668
10669System Driver Changes:
10670----------------------
10671- [GAMEBOY] Added sound emulation(Bug #75).  Added support for MBC2, MBC3 and
10672  MBC5 carts. Most GBC games now show a "this game only works on GBC" screen.
10673  MBC1 can now switch modes. MBC3 has partial RTC emulation. Added support for
10674  battery backed ram(Bug #133). Sprites no longer have inverted colours in some
10675  games(Bug #26). Fixed window layer positioning(Bug #39). Changed the palette
10676  to closer resemble the LCD screen(Bug #87). Games which originally have no
10677  sound don't produce bass sound at start up(Bug #195). Improved LCD status
10678  timing and interrupts(Bug #117). [Anthony Kruize]
10679
10680- [CGENIE] Floppy initialization fixed for when no floppy attached
10681  (Bug #95) [Ben Bruscella]
10682
10683- [UK101/SUPERBOARD] Cassette Initialization fixed [Stefano Priore]
10684
10685- [MBEE] Renamed mbeepc to mbeepc85. Now mbee emulates the IC model (editor
10686  assembler), mbeepc emulates the PC model (terminal emulator) and mbeepc85
10687  emulates the PC85 model (WordBee wordprocessor) [Stefano Priore]
10688
10689- [JUPITER] Cartridge and Cassette Initialization fixed
10690  (Bug #126) [Ben Bruscella]
10691
10692- [NASCOM]  Cassette Initialization fixed
10693  (Bug #183) [Ben Bruscella]
10694
10695- [A7800] Fixed interrupt handling bug - more carts run again [Ben Bruscella]
10696
10697- [A7800] Fixed bug that caused crashes on resets [Nate Woods]
10698
10699- [ORICA] The FUNCT key (present on Oric Atmos/Telestrat model) is now recognized.
10700  [Stefano Priore]
10701
10702- [PRAV8D] Pravetz keyboard is now fully mapped and the keycaps are correctly
10703  displayed (see the "Input" menu) [Stefano Priore]
10704
10705- [SPECTRUM] 48k machines are now able to run code in screen memory (Bug #46).
10706  Fixed problem with interrupt vector set to 0xffff (much more 128k games works
10707  now). Corrected frames per second value for 48k and 128k Sincalir machines.
10708  Remaped some Spectrum+ keys. Added support to load .SP snapshots. Added .BLK
10709  tape images support. #FF port emulation added (Arkanoid works now but is still
10710  not playable due to wrong timings) (Bug #47). [Krzysztof Strzecha]
10711
10712- [SPECPL3E] Updated BIOS to the 1.10 version and added support for the spanish
10713  romset (http://www.z88forever.org.uk/zxplus3e/) [Stefano Priore]
10714
10715- [TI99/4A] xtensive rewrite: The code should be more flexible and more readable.
10716  * Updated tms9901 code.
10717  * Optional floppy controller, speech synthesizer, memory extension can be
10718    disabled.
10719  * Support for super AMS, foundation, and a myarc look-alike memory extension
10720    cards.
10721  * Improved fdc emulation.
10722  * Better GROM and speech timings.
10723  * Support for multiple extension cards, and multiple GROM ports.
10724  * Speech synthesizer now works!!!
10725  * Added support for EVPC video card. [Raphael Nabet]
10726
10727- [AMSTRAD CPC] Fixed RAM configuration selection, now the original Heroquest
10728  will run [Kev Thacker, Richard Wilson]
10729
10730- [COCO] Converted CoCo drivers to use configurable RAM sizes, and the CoCo 3
10731  driver now supports the 2 MB upgrade (if I knew the specs, it would be very
10732  trivial for me to support the 8 MB upgrade). [Nate Woods]
10733
10734- [COCO] Fixed a bug in DMK disk image on little endian machines. (Bug #179)
10735  [Nate Woods]
10736
10737- [PC] Fixed a bug that caused the keyboard buffer to get flooded and the
10738  emulated system to get paralyzed in beeping under certain situations (bug
10739  #151). [Nate Woods]
10740
10741- [EXIDY & KC85/3] These drivers now startup with the MAME 0.56 core. [Kev Thacker]
10742
10743- [EINSTEIN] Implemented more interrupts and fixed their priorities [Kev Thacker]
10744
10745- [SORD M5] Cassette writing is working, but loading is not :( [Kev Thacker]
10746
10747- [TS1000] The main rom file is now called zx81a.rom, instead of zx81.rom in
10748  order to match the other drivers in the family. [Nate Woods]
10749
10750- [COCO3] Added support for Jeff Vavassour's virtual hard disk. His Color
10751  Computer 3 emulator comes with an OS-9 driver. [tim lindner]
10752
10753- [INTV] Added collision detection (Bug #163) [Kyle Davis]
10754
10755- [PDP1] Added support for perforated tape and read-in mode.  Removed the
10756  current image load hack, since the use of the perforated tape reader in
10757  read-in mode enables the user to enter programs in an historically-correct
10758  way.  Various additional bug-fixes and some code clean-up.
10759  Added control panel, variuos memory sizes, automatic multiply/divide,
10760  interactive typewriter display and Spacewar! supports hyperspace controls
10761  now. IO code has been rewrote and timings are greatly improved.
10762  Teletyper output can be logged to a file (via -printer switch).
10763  Added support for sequence break system.
10764  Simulation of CRT remanence. WARNING: .rim files must be run pressing
10765  LCTRL+ENTER to switch into read-in mode! [Raphael Nabet]
10766
10767- [APPLE1] Snapshot support added - memory dumps loaded via the image MESS
10768  loading interface.  The images need a header, using the following
10769  format - "LOAD:xxyyDATA:".  This header enables the emulation to load the
10770  data to the correct location.  [Ben Bruscella, Stefano Priore]
10771
10772- [NES] Now uses battery_save() and battery_load() to save and load battery
10773  backed NVRAM. [Nate Woods]
10774
10775- [GENESIS] Fixed broken input in some games(Bug #139). [Anthony Kruize]
10776
10777- [VECTREX] Improved detection of 3D games. [Cowering]
10778
10779- [sysinfo.dat] Updates to genesis and nes [Hobie Troxell]
10780
10781Source Changes:
10782---------------
10783- The core is based on MAME 0.56.  This incorporates all features of the
10784  update to this core.  [MAME team]
10785
10786- The core now supports configurable RAM sizes; drivers can expose RAM
10787  configurations (e.g. 4k, 16k, 32k etc) and on Windows, this setting is
10788  exposed through a command line switch -ramsize.  [Nate Woods]
10789
10790- Fixed a bug that prevented introducing completely new software images when
10791  there was already one of that particular image type already loaded. [Nate
10792  Woods]
10793
10794- Added some infrastructure for automated tests. [Nate Woods]
10795
10796- Fixed a bug in tape handling that would cause rewind and fast forward to not
10797  work if the system was stopping the tape (bug #168). [Nate Woods]
10798
10799- Added battery_save() and battery_load() functions to abstract handling of
10800  battery-backed NVRAM on cartridges. [Nate Woods]
10801
10802- Modified osd_fopen() with OSD_FILETYPE_NVRAM so that the filename parameter
10803  can specify subdirectories (for use by battery_save() and battery_load().
10804  [Anthony Kruize, Nate Woods]
10805
10806- [Windows] Fixed a bug in the core that caused the MESS process to not die if
10807  the close box was pressed, and the UI was disabled (bug #170). [Nate Woods]
10808
10809- [Windows] Fixed a bug in the GUI that caused heap corruptions. [Nate Woods]
10810
10811- [Windows] Fixed a bug in the GUI that caused auditing to report BIOS-less
10812  console systems as missing BIOSes. [Nate Woods]
10813
10814- [IMGTOOL/Windows] Added wildcard support in the put command, since the
10815  Windows shell doesn't do this by default. [Nate Woods]
10816
10817- [IMGTOOL/FAT driver] Fixed bug where files would get stored into a FAT image
10818  without forcing the filename to upper case. [Nate Woods]
10819
10820- [MacMESS] Added configurable RAM sizes and dipswitch controls to the MESS
10821  tab. [tim lindner]
10822
10823

10858
10859Source Changes:
10860---------------
10861
10862- The core is based on MAME 0.56.  This incorporates all features of the
10863  update to this core.  [MAME team]
10864
10865- [Windows] The CONSOLE and GUI (the former MESS32) versions of MESS have been
10866  combined into one distribution.  [Ben Bruscella, Nate Woods, with a Huge
10867  thanks to MAME32 team, especially: Michael Soderstrom, Mike Haaland, and
10868  Chris Kirmse]
10869
10870- [Windows GUI] CRC directory now configurable from MESS GUI [Nate Woods]
10871

11312  [Nate Woods]
11313- [ORIC] fixed a bug in microdisc memory paging. Some discs start to boot now.
11314  Added a dipswitch to enable/disable microdisc interface [Kev Thacker]
11315- [PC & compatibles] repartitioned, several problems fixed,
11316  major rewrite of graphic subsytems (dirtybuffering disabled temporary),
11317  Tandy 1000HX now uses EURO PC'S fontrom for acceptable displayment of its 8x9 characters,
11318  EURO PC supports CGA and MDA/Hercules (adjust it in its emulated setup) [PeT]
11319
11320Other Changes:
11321--------------
11322
11323- The core is based on MAME 0.37b9. This incorporates all
11324  features of the update to this core.  [MAME team]
11325
11326- The M6847 interfaces were given a facelift, and now more correctly mimic the signals on
11327  the chip.  [Nate Woods]
11328
11329-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
113300.37b8
11331
11332Several drivers may be broken due to the MAME memory handling changes.
11333And as a result, the Amiga has been temporarily removed.
11334
11335Note: .inp record/playback does still not work currently.
11336
11337New System Drivers Supported (in no particular order):
11338------------------------------------------------------
11339- Chess Champion MK II [PeT]
11340
11341System Driver Changes:
11342----------------------
11343
11344- [ATOM] Finished floppy disc emulation. To use it you require a rom using
11345  the original 8271 memory locations (0x0a00-0x0a04). Linked in 6522via,
11346  more programs should work with it. Added printer support.
11347  [Kev Thacker, Kees van Oss]
11348
11349- [BBC] Added a new BBC clone (BBCB1770) to use the WD1770 disc controller.
11350  Much improved SAA5050 teletext support (mode 7), There is still a
11351  problem with the Mode 7 cursor.
11352  Added two new BBC clones they are BBCBP the BBC B Plus with 64K and
11353  the BBCBP128 the BBC B plus with 128K.
11354  Also Joystick support has now been added [Gordon Jefferyes]
11355
11356- [AMSTRAD CPC] Added support for printer. [Kev Thacker]
11357
11358- [GameBoy] Finally fixed the interrupt problem, which in turn helped a lot of carts
11359  actually run now. [Lee Ward]
11360
11361- [Vectrex] Loading carts should work again. [Mathis Rosenhauer]
11362
11363- [ORIC] Rewrote to use 6522via code in MESS core. Previously it had it's own
11364  implementation which was not complete. Added floppy disc emulation (emulates a
11365  Microdisc interface). Added support for MFM_DISK disk image type as used by
11366  Euphoric. This driver uses the IO_CASSETTE device, and can be controlled with
11367  the "Tape Control" menu. However, this is not working yet.
11368  Previous method for loading tapes has been disabled. Floppy disc emulation
11369  does not appear to be working fully yet. [Kev Thacker]
11370
11371- [COCO/DRAGON] Added support for printer.  Optimized graphics emulation. [Nate
11372  Woods]
11373
11374- [Studio II] added cartridge support [PeT]
11375
11376Other Changes:
11377--------------
11378- The core is based on MAME 0.37b8. This incorporates all
11379  features of the update to this core.  [MAME team]
11380
11381- pure DOS mode crash fixed [Ben Bruscella]
11382
11383- SID6581 Approximation [PeT]
11384  Interface changed,
11385  partitioned, unused parts removed, cleaned up
11386  support for multiple chips finished
11387
11388- Imgtool now supports Virtual MSX Tape Archives (converts them to .cas files)
11389  and imgtool can convert .cas to .wav files. [Sean Young]
11390
11391

113930.37b7
11394
11395Note: .inp record/playback does still not work currently.
11396
11397New System Drivers Supported (in no particular order):
11398------------------------------------------------------
11399- Amstrad NC200 (preliminary) [Kev Thacker]
11400- RCA Studio II [Peter Trauner]
11401- Sharp Pocket Computer PC1251 [Peter Trauner]
11402
11403System Driver Changes:
11404----------------------
11405
11406- [ATOM] Added preliminary floppy disc emulation. [Kev Thacker]
11407
11408- [BBC B] Updated to use updated 8271 FDC code. Disk images can be used and games
11409  can be loaded and played. [Kev Thacker]
11410
11411- [BBC B] Cleaned up the memory accessing a little. This fixed a problem with
11412  the DNFS rom thinking it found an econet controller. [Gordon Jefferyes]
11413
11414- [SAM COUPE] Updated Sam Coupe to use WD179x code (same as WD1772). [Kev Thacker]
11415
11416- [COCO] Updated CoCo and CoCo 3 drivers with new rom sets to match the actual chips
11417  in the system.  coco.rom split into bas12.rom, extbas11.rom and disk11.rom, and
11418  coco3.rom now must be of length 32768.  This requires a dump from an EPROM reader.
11419  Fixed a bug in cassette writing.  Cassette tape controls and CoCo motor signal now
11420  operate independently.  [Nate Woods]
11421
11422- [C16] added SIDCARD support at address $d400 [Peter Trauner]
11423
11424- [NES] new sound core. [Matt Conte]
11425
11426Other Changes:
11427--------------
11428- The core is based on MAME 0.37b7. This incorporates all
11429  features of the update to this core.  [MAME team]
11430
11431- Fixed write protect reporting in WD179x [Kev Thacker]
11432
11433- Added "Disk Control" menu to the user interface. With this you can
11434  enable/disable a drive (e.g. this is comparable to connecting a disconnecting
11435  a drive to the real machine), set write enable/write protect of the disc,
11436  and selecting between disc image and real drive access. Real drive access
11437  is currently limited to the drivers which use the WD179x, NEC765 and Intel
11438  8271 floppy disc controllers. [Kev Thacker]
11439
11440- Removed hard-coded disk image format in the WD179x code. This floppy
11441  disc controller emulation uses the same disk image access as the NEC765 and
11442  Intel 8271. It can now support different disk image formats, and as before
11443  real discs in a real drive [Kev Thacker]
11444
11445- NEC765 and Intel 8271 can now use real disc access in DOS version
11446  of MESS. Run under pure DOS, or in a Windows 95
11447  DOS box mode for this to work correct. [Kev Thacker]
11448
11449- Imgtool now supports CoCo cassette files (both .CAS and .WAV).  This is done
11450  through a framework that makes it easy to implement cassette images in
11451  general.  Also, the CoCo RSDOS disk handling is now a bit more tolerant
11452  [Nate Woods]
11453
11454- Updated Intel 8271 floppy disc controller emulation. [Kev Thacker]
11455
11456- CRC and sysinfo updates will now be appearing at the official MESS homepage:
11457  http://mess.emuverse.com
11458  Please send all CRC/sysinfo file contributions to Chris Henry.
11459  (battlepriest@hotmail.com).
11460
11461- M6510 cpu core added first write cycle for NMOS memory modifying instructions
11462  [Peter Trauner]
11463
11464- CDP1802 cpu core [Peter Trauner]
11465

11477- Amstrad NC100 [Kev Thacker]
11478- CoCo 3 (with a preliminary 6309 CPU core) [Tim Linder, Nate Woods]
11479- SNES (preliminary) [Lee Hammerton]
11480- ChannelF [Frank Palazzolo, Juergen Buchmueller]
11481
11482
11483System Driver Changes:
11484----------------------
11485- SPECTRUM:  Fixed +3 disk handling [David Robertson]
11486
11487- COCO 3: Fixed low resolution video so that it is sensitive to the MMU; this
11488  fixes a problem that made OS-9 Level 2 display garbage.  Also fixed two bugs
11489  that prevented horizontal scrolling from working properly [Nate Woods]
11490
11491Other Changes:
11492--------------
11493- The core is based on MAME 0.37b6. This incorporates all
11494  features of the update to this core.  [MAME team]
11495
11496- [DOS] File handling has CHANGED!  heres a brief description:
11497  MESS supports a softwarepath= global setting (in the [directories] section of mess.cfg)
11498  and this is overrideable per driver (in the [driver] sections) Default for softwarepath=
11499  is .;SOFTWARE
11500  OSD_FILETYPE_ROM uses the biospath= setting from now on (MAME rompath=) Default for
11501  biospath= is .;BIOS.
11502  OSD_FILETYPE_IMAGE_R and _RW use the softwarepath= settings from now on, so BIOS ROMs can
11503  be kept separate from carts, floppy, harddisk etc. images.
11504  The search paths/files are for a hypothetic system driver 'sys':
11505
11506  extensions of carts for sys = .rom, .bin
11507  softwarepath = .;x:/software
11508
11509  mess sys -cart cart
11510
11511  ./cart
11512  ./sys/cart
11513  ./cart.zip containing cart
11514  ./sys/cart.zip containing cart
11515  x:/software/cart
11516  x:/software/sys/cart
11517  x:/software/cart.zip containing cart
11518  x:/software/sys/cart.zip containing cart
11519  ---> assume it failed, because the real extension is .bin
11520  ./cart.rom
11521  ./sys/cart.rom
11522  ./cart.zip containing cart.rom
11523  ./sys/cart.zip containing cart.rom
11524  x:/software/cart.rom
11525  x:/software/sys/cart.rom
11526  x:/software/cart.zip containing cart.rom
11527  x:/software/sys/cart.zip containing cart.rom
11528  ---> still not found, so image_fopen() tries .bin now
11529  ./cart.bin
11530  ./sys/cart.bin
11531  ./cart.zip containing cart.bin
11532  ./sys/cart.zip containing cart.bin
11533  x:/software/cart.bin
11534  x:/software/sys/cart.bin
11535  x:/software/cart.zip containing cart.bin
11536  x:/software/sys/cart.zip containing cart.bin
11537
11538  As you can see it might take quite some time until an image is found, with two
11539  directories on the path already, that's why the main softwarepath= setting should be
11540  short. If you have many, different drives/paths where you store software, you better use
11541  the system specific overrides like this:
11542
11543  [sys]
11544  biospath=x:/sys
11545  softwarepath=x:/sys
11546
11547  [sys2]
11548  biospath=roms
11549  sofwarepath=z:/somewhere/sys2
11550
11551  However, if you have a 'complete set' you would be done (mostly) if you only change the
11552  [directories] setting for biospath= and softwarepath= to the drive/path where your
11553  mirrored files are.
11554
11555  One extension to the searches that might make sense would be to also look into a
11556  path/ext/cart.ext directory, that means you could have subirectories for eg. dsk, cas,
11557  vz, bin or whatever the extensions of the system are. [Juergen Buchmueller, Ben Bruscella]
11558
11559- Many fixes to cheat engine [Cowering]
11560
11561- MESS CRC files now use 'Good' database CRCs where applicable [Cowering]
11562
11563- NES now gets correct mapper info from nes.crc (if present) [Cowering]
11564
11565- Genesis/Megadrive now gets correct CRC info for .smd and .md files [Cowering]
11566
11567- new function osd_select_file() added [Brad Oliver]
11568
11569- IMGTOOL: Fixed a bug that caused saving a file into an image to error if that
11570  file was in a different directory.  Also fixed a bug that would cause crashes
11571  when reporting certain types of errors [Nate Woods]
11572
11573- CRC and sysinfo updates will now be appearing at the official MESS homepage:
11574  http://mess.emuverse.com

11602
11603
11604System Driver Changes:
11605----------------------
11606- NES: Now features battery support and vastly improved PPU emulation - compare Kirby and
11607  RC Pro Am.
11608  * Palette is no longer hardcoded - it is mathematically generated. It may need some
11609    formulaic tweaking, but it's pretty accurate.
11610  * Games like GI Joe Atlantis Factor are working again, the NES Test cartridge no longer
11611    fails.
11612  * There is a compile switch to emulate the color intensity used in Chris Covell's "Wall"
11613    demo.  It's off by default because it requires 16-bit mode and the sprite blitters need
11614    rewriting to support 16-bit. Still, you can enable it to see the demo run as it was
11615    intended.
11616  * Many mapper fixes: mapper 18 irqs should be close, mapper 19 added, the mid-20 Konami
11617    mappers are nearly 100%, and some of the mappers in the 60's are much more accurate.
11618  * Super Mario 3  _finally_ works! Excitebike also works again, and elite and PAL games,
11619    Elite will draw properly -- but only using the PAL NES emulation.
11620  * Fixed some more timing errors, Bayou Billy sine wave looks perfect now.
11621  * low/high sprite priorities fixed. Super Mario 3 uses low priority sprites to mask out
11622    pieces of high priority ones.
11623  * low-priority sprite/background transparency problem fixed (see Jaleco's Bases Loaded 3)
11624  * Mapper 5 is much better, although some interrupt problems remain.
11625  * Mappers 9/10 are _almost_ perfect.
11626  * Fixed mapper 16 - it was completely wrong.
11627  * Fixed rendering problems in mapper 68 (Afterburner 2).
11628  * Fixed mapper 69 (Batman: Return of the Joker).
11629  * Mapper 70 (arkanoid 2 j) works, but is it right? It starts up on round 0, which appears
11630    to be the last round and not the first.
11631  * Implemented some Taito mappers (80, 82).
11632  * Implemented Konami VRC7, minus OPL (mapper 85).
11633  * Preliminary support for the zapper via a fake dipswitch. Collision detection isn't
11634    working yet.
11635  * Modified sound core to read dpcm samples from the right place in memory. Added clock
11636    specifier and read/write callbacks for register $14. NES driver now hooks into this for
11637    sprite DMA.
11638  * Zapper support, configurable via the fake dipswitches. Most games look for it connected
11639    to the 2nd input port, not the first. Tested it with Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley. If any
11640    other zapper games don't work, let me know and I'll beat them down.
11641  * 4-player joypad support, also configurable via the fake dipswitches. For best results,
11642    set both ports to the double setting. I tested it in Gauntlet 2 and RC Pro Am 2. Again,
11643    let me know if it's busted in any other 4p games.
11644  * Fixed sprite priorities for the last time. I swear it's really working now. ;-) As a
11645    side effect, the rendering code is a bit faster than before.
11646  * More mapper fixes/additions.
11647  * Added support for Famicom Disk System. Split up the main NES driver into NES and
11648    Famicom. Only the Famicom supports the disk system, because that's the way it is in
11649    real life. Press p1 button 3 to cycle amongst the disk sides. Once you switch a side,
11650    you may need to wait a second or two for the switch to be recognized. Let me know if
11651    any games fail to see the switch. Disk writing is not yet supported.
11652  * Added preliminary support for the Arkanoid paddle. It's pretty busted at the moment.
11653  * Fixed a small PPU bug regarding reads from the chr-gen ram portion of the ppu.
11654  * Correct display of left-most column when it has been programmatically disabled -
11655    see SMB3.
11656  * Added some more mappers, some of which aren't working fully.
11657  * Fixed mapper 40 (SMB2j pirate) - it should be close to 100%
11658  * Fixed some issues with the disk support. It now supports that stupid padded format with
11659    the useless header in addition to the other format.
11660  * DPCM samples fixed (now hear SMB3 in all it's steel drum glory).
11661    [Brad Oliver]
11662
11663- COCO: Now using schedule_full_refresh() and PAK loader fixes applied [Nate Woods]
11664
11665- KAYPRO: Keyboard fixed [Juergen Buchmueller]
11666
11667- PCW16: emulation is fully working. To run this you need the "OS rescue disk". The system
11668  rom is contained on the OS rescue disc and you will need this to install the OS. This
11669  disc is available on the net, do a search to find it. [Kev Thacker]
11670
11671- PC: improved PC-AT keyboard emulation to work with PCW16. Should work better with PC
11672  emulation too.  Improved PC-Serial Mouse emulation to work with PCW16, improved PC FDC
11673  emulation to work with PCW16. FDC now works as before but uses same nec765 code as the
11674  Amstrad and Spectrum drivers. More software that programs the FDC directly should work.
11675  Changed PIO code in PC-XT to use 8255 emulation. Seperated PC-LPT code to be used with
11676  PCW16. seperated and improved PC-Serial code. Works with PCW16 now, and interrupts are
11677  set/cleared correctly. seperated pc floppy disc handling code for use with PCW16.
11678  Fixed tandy1000 problem, pc's changed to use pckeybrd, split pc_cga, pc_mda, pc_t1t from
11679  pc and fixed atcga, xtvga init/blink problems.  changed uart8250 and pc_mouse interface,
11680  realtime clock fixes and improvements (starts with current time) better vga retrace
11681  emulation, fixed mouse problem in pc's (was a simple inputport configuration problem)
11682  [Kev Thacker, Peter Trauner]
11683
11684- SPECTRUM: The border displaying code is now includes a full refresh flag. 128K port
11685  decoding updated (still not exact on +3) - Sound now works on Zub 128K.
11686  [David Robertson]
11687
11688- A7800: TIA sound update, which replaced the fixed/rand() polynome initializations to
11689  ones based on the same algorithms that are used in the Pokey driver.
11690  [Juergen Buchmueller]
11691
11692- TRS80: Split the ROMs into the 4K sizes they originally had
11693  trs80.rom -> trs80.z33, trs80.z34 and trs80.zl2
11694  sys80.rom -> sys80rom.1 sys80rom.2 and sys80rom.3
11695  added an trs80alt driver for the 'R/S L2 BASIC' (its an original ROM with a shorter
11696  bootstrap message and some code modifications). IO_CASSETTE now only loads *.cas files in
11697  SYSTEM format and IO_QUICKLOAD is used for files in *.cmd format (disk excerpts)
11698  [Juergen Buchmueller]
11699
11700- Commodore: m65ce02/m4510 timing corrected, fixed rtn, plp, rti, eom, added m65ce02 aug
11701  c65 speed improvements, ega/vga speed improvements [Peter Trauner]
11702
11703- AMSTRAD: Changed video hardware code to use 6845 CRTC code.  Also added Eventlist code to
11704  the Amstrad video hardware code. It will record colour changes, mode changes and crtc
11705  register writes.  This means support for multi-modes on the same screen, colour changing
11706  effects, and demos. There is a second method which updates between I/O writes that
11707  would affect the screen. The rendering method can be chosen with a compile switch.
11708  Also added correct opcode timings for Amstrad using new cpu_setcycletable, this
11709  means raster effects are now correct. Also added emulation of the Multiface hardware.
11710  It requires a rom (optionally loaded). You must enable it in the dipswitches. When
11711  enabled F1 will be the "stop" button. [Kev Thacker]
11712
11713- ZX: Fixed ZX80 palette: it's black on white, and not viceversa. [Stefano Priore]
11714
11715- CoCo/Dragon: Fixed a bug the CoCo 3 horizontal scroll so Crystal City is partially
11716  playable now, converted the CoCo/Dragon driver to use an include file, moved PAK loading
11717  code into a new src/mess/formats directory [Nate Woods]
11718
11719- PDP/1: Fixed a null pointer access if no image is loaded. [Nate Woods]
11720
11721- PC1401/1402/1350: Artwork support added [Peter Trauner]
11722

11778System Driver Changes:
11779----------------------
11780- MACPLUS: Keyboard support added.  Variable memory configurations used now (a variable
11781  named ram_size which can be initialized to any value), and added variable ROM size, too.
11782  Updated iwm.c to support Apple Diskcopy format : this will allow to exchange data with
11783  real-world macintosh, and to use images from Mac sites.
11784  Fixed the RTC, and added a feature which initializes the Macintosh clock with the current
11785  date and time.  Fixed some cosmetic sound core issues. [Raphael Nabet]
11786
11787- SPECTRUM: Added support for .SCR (Screendump) files. Note that to ensure that the
11788  image is not immediately overwritten by the ROM initialisation routine the
11789  loading routine adds a short machine code press any key routine.  The Border engine
11790  code now only uses those events with the correct ID
11791  instead of all events.  The specpls4 has been is now declared as GAME_COMPUTER_MODIFIED
11792  .SCR files are now quickload files and are loaded by pressing F8.  The 128K machines are
11793  now defined as GAME_NOT_WORKING because of the crashes when running 128K files.
11794  [David (aka Peter) Robertson]
11795
11796- CoCo3: Now supports LPR field on INIT1 GIME register when in graphics modes,

11814  To load tape images from Basic, type "LOAD", wait for the program to load, press space,
11815  then RUN, LIST, etc. Some images should be loaded from the monitor, asteroids,
11816  asteroids+ and scramble. When in the monitor, press L and wait for the program to load
11817  and run. [Paul Daniels]

12008  cartridge Magic Voice, used in few programs). [Peter Trauner]
12009
12010- C128: Esc-x to switch c128 to 40 column mode. Keypad enter to switch
12011  emulator to 40 column mode. In the input keys configuration menu you
12012  should find several key assignments with normal (not reversed)T.  Change
12013  these to another key, and the normal T will work. (in the system file
12014  these keys are disabled, until I find a better solution) [Peter Trauner]
12015
12016- MACPLUS: driver boots (must use the 68k C core) [Nate Woods]
12017
12018- SEGA MASTER SYSTEM: Rewrite of the SMS video code, so quite a lot of games with
12019  interrupt problems or corrupt graphics run fine now. [Charles MacDonald]
12020
12021- SPECTRUM: Added support for 128K .SNA and .Z80 files, ensured that the 48K Basic
12022  ROM is paged in when running 48K snapshots on 128K machine (for improved
12023  reliability and access to the default character set), changed +3 initialisation,
12024  128 and +3 now set 0x4000-0x7fff to bank 5 (Now not changed if switching to shadow
12025  screen), cleaned up spectrum_plus3_update_memory, fixed bug in decoding uncompressed
12026  v2+ .Z80 files, and changed running speed of 128K Machines to 3.54690MHz
12027  [David Robertson]
12028

12037  work correctly), fixed a bug in banked roms when a hard reset (F3) is done, rom
12038  images are now identified by their filename extensions (image order isn't important
12039  anymore), no need to use NUL when no grom image, both alt -> fctn and both ctrl -> ctrl
12040  added, and new rom image extensions (.c .d .m .g .crom. drom. mrom .grom).

12044  increased screen height to fix clipping at bottom, updated header format (details can be
12045  found in machine/a7800.c), added support for light gun trigger (not the light gun
12046  targetting yet, just the trigger), and removed requirment for a cartridge (since the 7800
12047  starts in the BIOS it doesn't technically need a cartridge) [Dan Boris]

12057
12058- TOOLS: Disk Utility added (mkhdimg.exe) which will create variable sized HD images
12059  for use in MESS.  Can create images from 9,216 bytes to 142,606,848 bytes
12060  without problems.  The Western Digital 1004A that is emulated in MESS is
12061  limited to 1024 Cylinders and 16 heads. The sector size is limited to 512
12062  bytes as well as the sectors per track being limited to 17, this is also
12063  due to the WD1004A's limitations. [Randy Rains]
12064
12065- TOOLS: Generic image tool added (imgtool.exe) with the following features:
12066  *MAME/MESS style driver architecture; where the image formats are contained in drivers.
12067   Currently, the only driver is for CoCo .DSK disk images, but there could be more.
12068  *Runs on the command line.
12069  *Commands for listing image contents, retrieving and storing files.
12070  *Supports images in .ZIP files.
12071  *"Engine" is separate from the "shell"; which gives the potential for front ends for
12072   those who don't like command lines. [Nate Woods]

12227System Driver Changes:
12228----------------------
12229- Apple2 driver keyboard fix     [Juergen Buchmueller]
12230
12231- Apple2 driver changed to use 'normalized' character and graphics
12232  layout.  The scanlines are now done by the hosts video code.
12233  [Juergen Buchmueller]
12234
12235- ColecoVision Video refresh fixed. [Sean Young]
12236
12237- Adjusted timing of NES clock to be accurate. [Brad Oliver]
12238
12239- Preliminary Mockingboard support for the Apple II. [Brad Oliver]
12240
12241- Genesis sound improvements. [Gareth Long]
12242
12243- Several drivers have had compatibility improved (eg. NES, Genesis and Coleco)
12244
12245- The Apple II drivers have been fleshed out a little more. The //e
12246  family now works. The disk emulation is significantly faster as well.
12247  There is still plenty of work to be done though. [Brad Oliver]
12248
12249- Bug fixes to the TI9928a video code. This affects the ColecoVision and the
12250  TI-994a drivers. [Raphael Nabet, Sean Young]
12251
12252- NES psg frequency is now correct. [Brad Oliver]
12253
12254- Genesis now features preliminary FM sound. [Gareth Long, Tatsuyuki Satoh]
12255
12256- Increased Genesis compatibility. [Gareth Long]
12257
12258- Memory allocation fix in the NES driver [Juergen Buchmueller]
12259
12260- Commodore SID emulation!  [Peter Trauner]
12261
12262
12263Other Changes:
12264--------------
12265
12266- [DOS] Images specified at the command line must now be accompanied by the device they
12267  are to be attached to, and will not be loaded unless the device is specified *and*
12268  supported by that system.  Eg, to attach a cartridge for the NES, you must specify:
12269  MESS nes -cart galaga.nes
12270  This may affect the usage of frontends, however it brings the MESS command line
12271  into sync with the well accepted MAME convention for command line usage.  See mess.txt
12272  for options and usage.
12273
12274- Added support to automagically append or replace extensions for files
12275  opened with image_fopen(), which means, if opening a given filename
12276  fails (also from the optional clone_of parent driver), the code replaces
12277  or appends the next available extension and tries again.   Therefore, there
12278  is no need to actually supply the file extension to the command line.
12279  [Juergen Buchmueller]
12280
12281- The core is based on MAME 0.36 final. This incorporates all
12282  features of the update to this core.  [MAME team]
12283
12284- New option -listdevices. Use this to obtain valid device names for use at the command
12285  line to attach images to the system.
12286
12287- Extensive CRC updates.
12288  [Sean Young, Chris Henry, Gerardo Jorrin, Peter Trauner, Cowering]
12289  SysInfo.dat documentation update
12290  [Thierry Schimbi, Chris Henry, Kev Thacker, Raphael Nabet]
12291  Please send all CRC/sysinfo file contributions to Chris Henry.
12292  (battlepriest@hotmail.com).
12293
12294- Small bug in the 6522 emulator fixed. [Gordon Jefferyes]
12295
12296- Important inclusions for this release:
12297  *wave sound interface and IODevice handler
12298  *speaker sound driver (replaces the buzzer code)
12299  *preliminary file manager
12300  *mess_printf() which checks for gui_host
12301  Check the UI (TAB) for handling options for most of the above.
12302
12303- Generic M6847 code  [Nate Woods]
12304
12305- Wd179x disk access update.  The correct sector size is now
12306  calculated for the nec765 real FDD access.  Now it is calculated
12307  from sector size. Loading from real disc works on Enterprise
12308  emulator.  [Kev Thacker]
12309
12310- void via_set_clock(int which,int clock); added to 6522via.c.  This
12311  can be called after via_config() to change the clock, otherwise the
12312  clock speed of CPU1 is used. [Mathis Rosenhauer]
12313
12314- mess/msdos.c & mess/msdos.h created for MESS DOS specific functions.
12315  Note: Each port is now responsible for handling these functions.
12316
12317
12318- GAME_ALIAS flag added.  Use this when specifying a clone system
12319  which requires the same romset as another. [Juergen Buchmueller]
12320
12321- System documentation is now contained in sysinfo.dat and
12322  sysinfo.htm.  Use dat2html to generate sysinfo.htm from sysinfo.dat
12323  [Chris Henry, Juergen Buchmueller, Ben Bruscella]
12324
12325- You can now specify switches on the commandline in which case every
12326  image name following them goes to that respective slot, regardless
12327  of it's extension.  See mess.txt for some examples
12328  [Peter Trauner, Juergen Buchmueller]
12329
12330- [DOS] New options for IMAGES to be opened, namely OSD_FOPEN_READ,
12331  OSD_FOPEN_WRITE, OSD_FOPEN_RW, and OSD_FOPEN_RW_CREATE.  Check
12332  mess.h for a description of what they are used for.  Be sure to use
12333  these semantics when handling read/write files.
12334  [Juergen Buchmueller]
12335- slight changes to the PDP1 driver.
12336
12337- [DOS] TI99 keyboard fix! [Raphael Nabet]
12338
12339- System ROM (Image) name matched from CRC database file on startup.
12340  (file stored in CRC directory)
12341
12342- You can now specify in MESS.CFG the *exact* directory a rom is
12343  which you want to run.  no longer necessray to have a directory with
12344  the same name as the system [Juergen Buchmueller]
12345
12346- Zipped cart and image support added. To use, make sure that the zip has the
12347  same name as the file in the zip. (eg) for a coleco CART called
12348  "venture.rom", zip to "venture.zip".  When running MESS, type "mess coleco
12349  venture.rom".  MESS will then load "venture.rom" from "venture.zip".  Any
12350  system roms can also be zipped and placed anywhere in you ROMPATH. (eg)
12351  coleco.rom in coleco.zip.
12352  [Ben Bruscella]
12353
12354- GAME_COMPUTER flag added.  Use this to specify that the system requires
12355  full keyboard emulation.  Emulated Computer systems now use the
12356  scroll_lock key to toggle the keyboard emulation.  When on, MAME keys
12357  (such as "P" for pause) are disabled, until toggled with the scroll_lock.
12358  [Juergen Buchmueller]
12359
12360
12361- [DOS] MAKEFILE/compilation changes. To compile MESS, simply make sure you
12362  can compile MAME. Then, apply the MESS source over-ride and:
12363
12364   1. Rename MAKEFILE to MAKEFILE.mm
12365   2. Rename MAKEFILE.MES MAKEFILE
12366   3. Type MAKE
12367
12368
12369- There have been major changes to the Driver structures and loading procedure.
12370
12371*Here is an overview:
12372
12373* Every game driver's struct GameDriver (src/mess/systems/*.c) is now
12374defined using one of four macros COMP/COMPX or CONS/CONSX.
12375COMP is for computers and CONS is for consoles. The X versions allow
12376specifying additional flags (GAME_NOT_WORKING ect.)
12377
12378* Every game driver specifies it's peripherals in an array of
12379"struct IODevice" elements.
12380
12381* rom_load and rom_id fields were moved into that list, together with
12382the number of devices and the known file extensions for images of that
12383type.
12384
12385* MAME's src/driver.h now only contains one pointer to this list of
12386devices, all of MESS' extra fields are gone.
12387Old:
12388#ifdef MESS
12389    int (*rom_load)(void);
12390    int (*rom_id)(const char *name, const char *gamename);
12391    const char **file_extension;
12392    int num_of_rom_slots;
12393    int num_of_floppy_drives;
12394    int num_of_hard_drives;
12395    int num_of_cassette_drives;
12396#endif
12397
12398New:
12399#ifdef MESS
12400    const struct IODevice *dev;
12401#endif
12402
12403
12404* The global rom_name[], floppy_name[], hard_name[] and cassette_name[]
12405arrays are gone! Instead each machine driver (src/mess/systems/*.c)
12406should specify an init function for every device it supports.
12407This init function is called during the startup with an id (0 to max
12408instances of the device - 1) and a filename.
12409
12410* rom_load is called very early when a driver is started.
12411It is the 'init' function for the device type IO_CARTSLOT, so the
12412previous statement applies here too.
12413
12414* the rom_id function pointer moved into the struct IODevice too.
12415Every device can have a id function, so if it is possible to identify
12416eg. a floppy disk, harddisk, cassette ect., you should provide the
12417identifying functions and put them in this field in your systems/driver code.
12418The id function return value is sort of TRUE/FALSE, ie. non zero
12419means image is ok for this device, zero is not recognized.
12420
12421* The IODevice contains an "void (*exit)(int id);" entry, so each
12422driver could (and probably should) handle shutting down the various
12423device instances.
12424The exit entries are called from src/mess/mess.c exit_devices(),
12425which is called from src/mame.c shutdown_machine().
12426
12427* Startup handling moved from src/mame.c to src/mess/mess.c
12428In the first stage load_image() is called.
12429The images specified on the command line are parsed in mess.c now, and
12430a list of "struct ImageFile" entries in the GameOptions is set.
12431This struct contains a "char *name" and an "int type", where type should
12432be set to one of the IO_CARTSLOT, IO_FLOPPY ect. values.
12433GUI ports could use this to store some file selection lists together with
12434the type of files selected.
12435The DOS port stores image names from the command line (*argv) in this
12436array, and the type of image is determined this way:
124371st: user specified a type using a switch before a (list of) name(s).
12438     For DOS this looks like "mess system -flop test -cart rom1 -cart rom2"
124392nd: the extension of the filename matches one of the MessDevice entries
12440     of the driver which is started. So if a driver defines "cas" for
12441     it's IO_CASSETTE device and "dsk" for it's IO_FLOPPY device, the
12442     command line "mess driver a.dsk b.cas" will be sufficient.
12443
12444* In the second stage during startup, the get_files() function is called
12445and images are sorted into some (static) arrays of names in mess.c.
12446This is to allow easier/faster access to them and maybe useful for
12447swapping the names and calling init_<device> again.
12448
12449* The third stage now walks through the list of devices of the driver
12450which is to be started and calls it's init functions with the the
12451names from the arrays. If the driver returns non zero, the startup
12452process is terminated here.
