200
201-Removed cb2 callback from mac drivers, you now have to push the data. [smf]
202
203-SDL2.0: Fix relative mouse motion. This makes Missile Attack playable
204 again with my Logitech marble trackball. [Couriersud]
205
206-Fixed PNP model and added test netlist (bjt.c) [Couriersud]
207
208-tms7000.c: Modernized cpu core.  [Wilbert Pol]
209
210-Pong now has complete emulation of discrete logic for runQ and SRST

212 [Couriersud]
213
214- AVR8 cpu changes [Felipe Sanches]
215 * timers wip
216 * Add TIMSK* reads - Refactor timer_tick calls

218    0x200 registers to zero.
219 * debugging timers
220 * better syntax for disassembly of RJMP destination address
221 * use register names in disasm of CBI, SBI, SBIC, SBIS instructions

223    CBI
224- wip on avr8 EEPROM read/write support
225
226-Remove code obfuscation, please don't revert my changes without
227 discussing it first. [smf]
228
229-Started to remove via port read handlers, prematurely stopped because
230 IEEE488 code derives the clock from the read handler being called [smf]
231
232-Removed port read handlers from wicat as they just return what was
233 written [smf]
234
235-Netlist: [Couriersud]
236 * fixed 7474 save state
237 * remove a printf
238 * simplified netlist_list_t
239 * increased reschedule count to 15 - diodes are dog-slow
240 * made reschedule count a solver parameter

245
246-fd_fdc: Fix the FM sync detection [Michael Zapf]
247
248-Modernised VIC20 user port [smf]
249
250-Hooked up the 6551 to the plus 4 user port, haven't been able to test
251 it in diag264 as cartridges don't appear to work [smf]
252
253-n68681: modernized and killed config struct in favor of devcb2. [R. Belmont]
254
255-Allow vic20/c64/c128 to share user port devices, removed c64 version
256 of vic1011 and moved protovision 4 player adapter from bus/c64 to
257 bus/vic20. Tried to test with
258 http://code.google.com/p/commodore-multi-player/ as it supports
259 protovision 4 player adapter, but it currently crashes. I have had to
260 disable 1541 as it prevents quick loading from working. [smf]
261
262-Fix for pixel gaps between multi-screen games in HLSL mode. [MooglyGuy]
263
264-Merged pet/vic20/c64/plus4/c128 user ports, the pinout is slightly
265 different on each one but there are cards that are compatible with
266 each of the different machines. [smf]
267
268-Added user port pinout from CBMII manual [smf]
269
270-Fixed commodore quick load by passing in the address space instead of
271 using machine().firstcpu [smf]
272
273-Added PET user port joystick adapter [smf]
274
275-segas32.c: Added alien3 and darkedge readmes. [Guru]
276
277-Netlist: [Couriersud]
278 * added missing parameter to analog input device
279 * parser now parses NET_MODEL
280 * fixed a bug in switching bjt implementation
281
282-Fixed noise period on AY8910. [Dr. Venom, Couriersud]
283
284-Prevent clock bit to be deleted after CRC in FM. [Michael Zapf]
285
286-Use proper AY8910 mixing model for MSX. Volumes set to match MSX
287 hardware. [Dr. Venom, Couriersud]
288
289-BBC Micro keyboard updates/fixes: [Nigel Barnes]
290 * added numeric keypad on Master series.
291 * fixed CAPS LOCK and SHIFT LOCK.
292 * removed dipswitches from Master series.
293 * improved dipswitch descriptions.
294
295-Naomi/Triforce documentation update [f205v]
296
297-Converted PIA6821 to DEVCB2 [smf]
298
299-Netlist: [Couriersud]
300 * Added Ebers-Moll BJT model. Currently only for NPN.
301 * Fixed convergence issue in the solver.
302 * Accuracy for Ebers-Moll must be better than 1e-5 to not generate
303   nano-second spikes. Typical sound applications should be able to run
304   with less since the spikes are not audible.
305
306-Removed 6821 porta_r/portb_r/ca1_r/ca2_r/cb1_r/cb2_r functions as they
307 only returned what you'd written to the chip, only a couple of those
308 were ever used (by audio/exidy.c). Removed some ca*/cb* read callbacks
309 that just returned what had already been pushed or always returned 0.
310 As there are no longer any cb2 read callbacks that functionality has
311 been removed. [smf]
312
313-reduced the number of callers to set_a_input by calling porta_w & made
314 the WRITE8_HANDLER call that as well, instead of the other way round
315 and having to lookup an address space that is never used [smf]
316
317-tlcs90.c: Modernized cpu core.  [Wilbert Pol]
318
319-Removed calls to mpu4_state *state =
320 machine.driver_data<mpu4_state>(); by moving code into mpu4_state.
321 Removed runtime lookup of devices that were already looked up in
322 mpu4_state. [smf]
323
324-docastle.c: hook up slave CPU IRQ according to schematics
325 [Alex Jackson]
326
327-Added a "-listdevices" option to nltool to list all available devices.
328 Simplified code. [Couriersud]
329
330-It makes more sense to mask out the errors that are going to be
331 brought in from the error mask rather than throw all the other bits
332 away. However I haven't seen any documentation for Z80DART that says
333 there is an error FIFO at all. [smf]
334
335-fixed Z80DART parity selection [smf]
336
337-Removed hack and hooked up Z80DART now that parity works. [smf]
338
339-preliminary patches for Donggul Donggul Haerong [ElSemi] (still
340 doesn't work, but at least boots now)
341
342-likely the correct patch, game still doesn't work [ElSemi]
343
344-i8251: as per the manual, disabling Tx mid-byte should wait for
345 transmission to finish [R. Belmont]
346
347-call set_data_frame() before calling set_rcv_rate() as otherwise it
348 acccesses m_synchronous before it is set leading to random behaviour
349 [smf]
350
351-v810.c: Modernized cpu core.  [Wilbert Pol]
352
353-Added write_sense to S2650 CPU and use it for pipbug serial port,
354 Hunchback (Galaxian Hardware) and replace calls to set_input_line(1 in
355 lazercmd.c & meadows.c [smf]
356
357-Replaced FLAG fake IO port with a DEVCB2 callback [smf]
358
359-Added an RS232 port instead of hard coding the serial terminal [smf]
360
361-Added preliminary sound to thunderlbl. Unsurprisingly seems to share
362 the same hook-up as wiggie and superbon, the other thunderl hacks in
363 the driver. Marked as IMPERFECT_SOUND cause the music keeps restarting
364 after a few seconds after inserting a coin. Seems fine during
365 gameplay, though. [Osso]
366
367-Fixed compiling with Visual Studio 2012 [smf]
368
369 Added the correct, half-swapped dump of cpu_pg5.11 to spyhunt/spyhuntp
370 [Porchy]
371
372-Implemented near-to-proper reset for all netlist devices. Reset now
373 works for improved matrix solving. [couriersud]
374
375-Added 82s153’s from Ropeman (Roc ‘n Rope bootleg) and also corrected
376 the rom names and locations.  In addition, corrected some of the names
377 of the one United States Donkey Kong Jr. set.  [Kevin Eshbach]
378
379-converted to use RS232 port instead of hard coded to using serial
380 terminal [smf]
381
382-Removed some dead code and ambiguous functions in the netlist code.
383 [Couriersud]
384
385-Introduced the concept of "logic families". Currently, standard
386 devices default to TTL. Going forward, this enables the family type
387 (e.g. LS, S, HCT, ...) to be a device parameter. Currently, no changes
388 are introduced. This is architecture work. [Couriersud]
389
390-Created a mame sound device for netlist. Fixed an issue causing wild
391 oscillations. Currently, pong has sample code for using the sound
392 device. Uncomment "TEST_SOUND" in pong.c to hear a constant sound from
393 a 7400 multivibrator. Sound is still WIP, but the proof of concept has
394 been done. [Couriersud]
395
396-Changed parity & stop bits to an enum (you can now pass in 1.5). I've
397 updated the uarts that were testing for 1.5 stop bits to pass that in,
398 but there are probably others & 1.5 stop bits is converted to 2 by
399 diserial. However the 68681 requires stop bits to be specified in
400 clocks, so this will change in the future. Replaced synchronous flag
401 with start bit count, as some uarts can use a start bit in synchronous
402 mode & that whether there is a start bit is all the flag is currently
403 controlling. Updated rs232 terminal to allow startbits, stop bits 1.5
404 to be specified (although that is currently not supported by diserial)
405 and individual transmit and receive baud rates. [smf]
406
407-Added music and save states to bmcbowl. [Osso]
408
409-Added music and save states to koftball. [Osso]
410
411-tms9927: Added VSYNC callback. [Curt Coder]
412
413-SDL: Temporarily restore compatibility with Qt versions below 4.7.
414 [R. Belmont]
415
416-add proper internal rom to 'svg' parent set, it resets on coin now,
417 need to investigate [rtw, iq_132, David Haywood]
418
419-tms5501: Rewrote the emulation to use devcb2 and diserial. [Curt Coder]
420
421-flopimg: Added preliminary support for the 8-N-1 serial encoding
422 scheme used on Compucolor II floppies. [Curt Coder]
423
424-diserial: Added framing error detection. [Curt Coder]
425
426-Netlist: [Couriersud]
427 * Working Ebers Moll model. That's a significant step ahead.
428 * Simple 2x2|RHS SPICE stamps now supported by two terminal devices.
429    This was implicitly contained in the design, but set_mat now shows
430    how a two-terminal device fits into a SPICE approach.
431 * Introduced direct solvers for net groups with 1 or 2 nets.
432 * Introduced specialized solvers for N=1,2,3,4,5 by using templates.
433 * nice performance increase for BJTs
434
435-fixed bad graphics in donghaer [ElSemi]
436
437-n68681: Implement OP3 toggle on timer expire and input delta
438 interrupts. [R. Belmont]
439
440-moved contents of .inc into .c to removed #define pollution when
441 including h6280.h [smf]
442
443-converted z80 to c++ [smf]
444
445-Added support for 8 bit data transfers using the set features command,
446 instead of using mem_mask as ATA doesn't work that way. [smf]
447
448-added a hack for mametesters 05256 [smf]
449
450-replaced more machine().firstcpu with m_maincpu [smf]
451
452-replaced some calls to machine().firstcpu->pcbase() with
453 machine().describe_context() [smf]
454
455-don't change the current bank on reset, because another device might
456 have already changed the bank when it was reset [smf]
457
458-Fix wrapping in KERN/APPL/RAM mode by moving TEST map to the next
459 address bit. [smf]
460
461-Added unknown encrypted Royal Card. This game is running on Dino 4
462 encrypted hardware, with a CPU+PLCC daughterboard. Decrypted pro- gram
463 address + data, but code still jumps into $48xx range where there's no
464 valid code. Decoded and partially decrypted the graphics set.
465 [Roberto Fresca, ANY]
466
467-n68681: make loopback operate at the current baud rate instead of
468 instantaneously.  Fixes dectalk DUART self-test. [R. Belmont]
469
470-z180.c: Modernized cpu core.  [Wilbert Pol]
471
472-Added support for shift out free running at t2 rate, cb1 output now
473 lasts for the specified number of clocks and the signal goes low at
474 the end. [smf]
475
476-Try to match the colors from the most recent photograph
477 http://vivaamigafilm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/chillin-with-porter.html [smf]
478
479-Created a character font rom with upper and lower case characters
480 using the upper case font in the kernel rom as a starting point [smf]
481
482-renamed lcd char rom to match this photo
483 http://www.floodgap.com/retrobits/ckb/secret/cbm-vlcd-charrom.jpg &
484 replaced lower case y with one that better matches this screenshot
485 http://www.floodgap.com/retrobits/ckb/secret/cbm-lcd-screen.gif [smf]
486
487-6522 CA1 is input only, so I have removed the output callback. The
488 lisa via hookup has been changed as it had functions named as CA2/CB2
489 hooked up to CA1/CB1 and CA1 output no longer exists, it appears to
490 have been wrong since before the code was merged with MAME. Changed
491 CB1 to be active low as CA2 & CB2 already are & it sort of was before,
492 but when the chip is reset then the handlers are called setting the
493 lines to 1. This seems to stop it thinking that you've pressed a key
494 at startup as I believe it got out of sync before because the lines
495 weren't consistent. Merged some duplicate code for handling outputs
496 and removed some obvious comments. [smf]
497
498-tourvis.c: Correct 1 cart name and add newly dumped U4-43 BIOS.
499 [The Dumping Union]
500
501-Converted MSM58321 to DEVCB2, uses level logic rather than edge
502 detection for strobes (as per datasheet), added nvram interface as
503 there are some configuration bits to save, added support for 12 and 24
504 hour. It defaults to 12 hour, but you can configure it in the driver
505 to default to 24H. You can configure what year 0 is in the driver,
506 which is used when setting the date at startup. [smf]
507 
508-Allow reading from port A in output mode. Add a separate bit for timer
509 1 PB7 toggling rather than changing the PB register directly. Don't
510 clear the SR register on reset. Clears pcr & acr at construct time, in
511 case something sets one of the handshaking lines before we've started.
512 Use a separate variable for the latched inputs and the current inputs.
513 Consolidated the input and output code. [smf]
514 
515-sharc.c: Modernized cpu core.  [Wilbert Pol]
516
517-Hooked up RTC. There are several issues. The day and month register
518 are swapped. Even though it allows you to select between 12/24H the
519 RTC is always saved in 24H mode and it always defaults to display in
520 12H mode. [smf]
521
522-Clears port a and port b latches at startup, temporarily reverted CA1
523 timing change as Beezer is extremely sensitive to CB2 timing,
524 temporarily prevented port a read handlers from affecting reading back
525 of output bits (real hardware can do this but some handlers are
526 returning 0 for bits that they aren't driving low). [smf]
527
528-Added SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS to Express Raider, fixed screen size to
529 256x240 [Angelo Salese]
530
531-z8000.c: Modernized cpu core.  [Wilbert Pol]
532
533-m6502: expose SYNC pin through devcb2 for more flexibility [R. Belmont]
534
535-tugboat.c: correct AY chip type and clock, some cleanups [Alex Jackson]
536
537-AICA: EFREG is mapped every other word, not every word.  Fixes memory
538 trashing in all Naomi/DC/AW games. [O. Galibert, R. Belmont]
539
540-resolves the user port handlers in device_config_complete() & replaced
541 calling reset() on user port with toggling of input line 3 as not all
542 computers have reset hooked up on the user port. I believe
543 device_reset() will always be called, which makes the call in the
544 drivers machine_reset() unnecessary. [smf]
545
546-changed name to "PET user port" as that is where it originated and
547 reformatted the source file [smf]
548
549-qix.c: Let's not regenerate the entire palette every time we do a
550 partial update [Alex Jackson]
551
552-mos6551: support Rockwell 6551s, which show different register
553 contents from MOS/CSG parts on reset. [R. Belmont]
554
555-nemesis.c [Alex Jackson]:
556 * Hooked up RC filters to AY8910s
557 * Fixed konamigt layout aspect ratio
558 * Some corrections to address maps and inputs
559
560-popeye.c: added RC filter (MT 3726), cleanups [Alex Jackson]
561
562-Stop the flipping insanity [Alex Jackson]
563
564 Tilemap flipping is now calculated relative to the center of the
565 visible area rather than to the total screen size, and the generic
566 flip screen functions no longer reconfigure the actual screen. These
567 changes ensure that in most cases flipping should Just Work for
568 drivers that use MCFG_RAW_PARAMs, games that have a programmable CRTC,
569 and games that have raster effects, and should fix many longstanding
570 flip/cocktail-related regressions.
571
572-Added Bingo (1983). PCB seems bootleg, but the game looks legit.
573 Worked from the scratch a whole set of inputs and button-lamps support
574 for this game. Changed the poker41 description to Four in One Poker
575 (as seen in the official brochure). Added game and technical notes.
576 [Roberto Fresca]
577
578-Improvements to Unknown Royal Card on Dino4 hardware: [Roberto Fresca]
579 * Fully decrypted the graphics set.
580 * Added technical notes...
581
582-Added Bingo PCB layout and technical notes. [Roberto Fresca]
583
584-Fix rallybik title screen color [Alex Jackson]
585
586-toaplan1.c: remove sound reset hack, unify gfx decoding, various
587 cleanups [Alex Jackson]
588
589-redumped 317-0024 (FD1089B) used by Time Scanner [Charles MacDonald, ShouTime]
590
591-twincobr.c: fix flipscreen after core changes, cleanups [Alex Jackson]
592
593-updated documentation [Charles MacDonald]
594
595-added some more documentation to the discrete skeletons. [gregf]
596
597-Centronics WIP using write lines and DEVCB2. Added an output latch and
598 input buffer device to allow configuration in MCFG. Renamed centronics
599 device "printer" to "image". FM-7 parallel port joystick works again.
600 Added support for using PC LPT control lines as inputs (not tested).
601 c64 geocable now just passes individual lines through, changed the
602 strobe line to what is documented online (not tested). Converted MSX &
603 exidy sorcerer parallel port DAC to use covox device instead of using
604 a configuration switch (not tested). Sorcerer parallel port is more
605 like the commodore user port, so should be converted to it's own slot
606 where one option is a centronics card. [smf]
607
608-hooked up the centronics port, although I have only coaxed it to send
609 a single nul to the printer at startup. [smf]
610
611-Magic Card II: Override the wrong visible area and centered the game
612 through a dedicated CRTC config interface [Roberto Fresca]
613
614-Converted SN76496 ready to DEVCB2 [smf]
615

617 after core changes [Alex Jackson]
618
619-bagman.c, bublbobl.c, chance32.c, galaga.c, mappy.c, pacman.c: fix
620 flipscreen after core changes. Also, try (again) to improve
621 sprite-bullet alignment in bosco [Alex Jackson]
622 
623-Added generic barcode reader emulation: the code accepts sequences of
624 digits in UPC-A, EAN-13 and EAN-8 format, stores them in both byte
625 format and in pixel format; it is up to the driver to implement the
626 correct transfer protocol. [Fabio Priuli]
627
628-Added UI menu to enter barcodes via keyboard. It only gets activated
629 if the running machine has a barcode device. [Fabio Priuli]
630
631-Truco-Tron: Identified the last unknown IC (U15). Added Technical
632 notes. [Cristian Arias, Roberto Fresca]
633
634-diimage: Added "read_only" feature to the software list to denote
635 write protected images. [Curt Coder]
636
637-created src\emu\bus\rs232 & src\emu\bus\midi directories and separated
638 rs232 and midi devices, changed h89 to use an rs232 port to
639 communicate with the serial terminal to instead of connecting it
640 directly. [smf]
641
642-Added ability to add optional or required device/ioport/memory_region/... [Miodrag Milanovic]
643 and similar device finders to any device, and also created ability to set tag inside
644 static configuration of device so you can reference it in driver
645 machine configuration
646
647-Converted i8251 to DEVCB2 [smf]
648
649-Funworld driver updates: [Roberto Fresca]
650 * Added Luna Park (set 1, dual program). Running in modified CMC
651    hardware, with video RAM 4000-4FFF mirrored in 6000-6FFF and color
652    RAM 5000-5FFF mirrored in 7000-7FFF. This game has the highest
653    address line of the program tied to DIP switch #1, so you can
654    select between 2 different programs. Both programs write to
655    videoram either to each video RAM ranges.
656 * Added proper program ROM banking and connected to DIP switch #1.
657 * Added Luna Park (set 2). This one writes to normal CMC video RAM.
658 * Cleaned-up the machine drivers.
659 * Derived clocks via #define.
660 * Added technical notes.
661
662-Created gfxdecode_device instead of using machine fixed gfxdecode  [Miodrag Milanovic]
663 Updated all devices and drivers for using it.
664
665-Added default NVRAM to Crystal Colours (CMC hardware), allowing to
666 boot with clean meters/settings. [Roberto Fresca]
667

669 clock/calendar. [R. Belmont]
670
671-Jubilee Double-Up Poker (TMS9980) updates... [Roberto Fresca]
672 * Corrected the crystal value and derivate clocks via #DEFINE.

714
715-Jubilee Double-Up Poker updates. [Roberto Fresca]
716 * Added a default clean NVRAM.
717 * Found and implemented the credits input. The game is now working!.
718    Still no sound.
719
720-Fix display of device tags in internal profiler [Alex Jackson]
721
722-Abstracted netlist sources. This is a first step to support libraries
723 (e.g. for opamps). [Couriersud]
724
725-v60.c: Modernized cpu core.  [Wilbert Pol]
726
727-Rewritten 6850 based on datasheet using external CLOCK & removed MIDI
728 clock hacks. Standardised COM8116 DEVCB2 callbacks. GUS gf1_device
729 device derives from acia6850_device to gain access to the tx & rx irq
730 state, rather than exposing it with a public method. [smf]
731
732-upd7810.c: Modernized cpu core.  [Wilbert Pol]
733
734-IGS036 decryption support [Andreas Naive]
735
736-Timers now execute at the end of each timeslice instead of at the
737 start, as they did prior to 0.141u2. Fixes MT 4308 [Alex Jackson]
738
739-Make memarray word/dword/qword writers take a mem_mask, and update the
740 tilemap device to use them [Alex Jackson]
741
742-Fixed rendering issue in psyaria and raycris attract. [smf]
743
744-Gold Fruit improvements: [Roberto Fresca] Created a dedicated machine
745 driver and decode properly the first graphics bank, since graphics are
746 encoded/packed in a different way. This game has the main rate fixed
747 to 40%, and coins A+B fixed with 100 credits by pulse (maybe used as
748 remote credits inputs).
749
750-bking.c, toypop.c: fix flipscreen after core changes [Alex Jackson]
751
752-cat: Removed hacks required by the old 68681 implementation; keyboard
753 works again. [R. Belmont]

766 DEVCB2 instead. [smf]
767
768-Fixed a netlist crash on clang due to ATTR_NORETURN. Also fixed some
769 debug statements. [Couriersud]
770

772 SCREEN_RAW_PARAMs [Alex Jackson]
773
774-namcos1.c, namcos86.c: fix flipscreen after core changes, add
775 SCREEN_RAW_PARAMs [Alex Jackson]
776
777-pdp1.c: Modernized cpu core.  [Wilbert Pol]
778
779-Witch: Changed both CPU clocks to 3 MHz, Both YM2203 clocks to 3 MHz,
780 and confirmed the ES8712 clock (coming from pin 14 of M5205) in 8 MHz.
781 All measured and traced from the PCB. Implemented all clocks through
782 #define. [Roberto Fresca, ANY]
783

803 game. [Couriersud]
804
805-Convert aliens.c to bankdev, fix jclub2.c crash [Alex Jackson]
806
807-Fix nycaptor.c crash, fix m92.c properly [Alex Jackson]
808
809-Popeye now has netlist filtering and amplification. [Couriersud]
810
811-Implemented CD4066 device - Quad Bilateral Switch. [Couriersud]
812
813-Fix compiling on unusual OS X configurations. [Robert Walsh]
814

834- Completed dump of vtenis2c, ROM test passes now [MetalliC]
835- M1/Actel and Namco carts IC layouts fixed, ROM test passes now
836  [MetalliC]
837 - Namco 2f-2b IC names changed to <cartlabel>.2d,2c etc,  without fl0-fl4, 
838  because its the second IC label on the PCB (like "IC17S ROM1" on Sega carts)
839  [MetalliC]
840- Re-parented World Kicks [MetalliC]
841- IC labels changed according to cart PCBs [MetalliC]
842- minor docs update [MetalliC]

860 creation and resizing of indirection tables [Alex Jackson]
861
862-Added device_output_interface and macros
863 MCFG_OUTPUT_INDEX/MCFG_OUTPUT_NAME which can be used to specify which
864 output in the layout a device should use. [Curt Coder]
865
866-CPS1.c:  Willow, Strider and Ghouls and Ghosts have some changed
867 factory setting defaults as stated from manual.  Also noted
868 differences in bonus live coverage where applicable.  [Tafoid]
869 
870-omti8621: Converted to proper ISA card [R. Belmont]
871
872-nbmj8688: Refactored to use HD61830 device. [Curt Coder]
873
874-Hooked up sound in bnstars.c by borrowing code from ms32.c and adding
875 the second YMF271. [Osso]
876
877-Cherry Bonus III (set 4, encrypted bootleg). Fixed both graphics banks
878 decryption/decode. [Roberto Fresca, ANY]
879
880-should be 8-way [Jon Banks]
881
882-correct spyhunt labels / positions [Porchy]
883
884-drawgfx.c: Eliminate the need for a dummy 1:1 lookup table when
885 drawing to ind16 bitmaps [Alex Jackson]
886
887-Win Cherry improvements [Roberto Fresca]
888 * Decrypted/decoded all graphics banks.
889 * Preliminary memory map.
890
891-The UI graphics viewer can now display multiple palettes and multiple
892 gfx decoders in games that have them [Alex Jackson]
893
894-cinemat.c: redumped spaceftr [f205v, Piero Andreini]
895
896-Added Royal Card (French). This set is original, but running in a
897 bootleg board. Added a default NVRAM to get the game working. Also
898 added technical notes. [Roberto Fresca]
899
900-You now specify a gfxdecode device once when you create a tilemap,
901 rather than each time in the tile info callback. Updated all drivers
902 accordingly [Alex Jackson]
903
904-Fixed the duart ip pins so they don't accidentally clear each other's
905 state on device_write_line; this fixes the Canon Cat printing in MESS.
906 [Lord Nightmare]
907
908-Added basic implementation of the NSC810 RAM-I/O-Timer device, and
909 plugged it into the Husky Hunter 2 driver. [Barry Rodewald]
910
911-Removed unselectable slot options (SLOT_INTERFACE_INTERNAL) from the
912 listxml output. [Curt Coder]
913
914-Add an osd_truncate call to truncate files [O. Galibert]
915
916-Moved core template container classes up from emutempl.h to coretmpl.h: [Aaron Giles]
917 * these classes now no longer take a resource_pool; everything is
918    managed globally -- this means that objects added to lists must be
919    allocated with global_alloc
920 * added new auto_pointer<> template which wraps a pointer and
921    auto-frees it upon destruction; it also defaults to NULL so it
922    doesn't need to be explicitly initialized
923 * moved tagged_list template to tagmap.h
924 
925Redo of the low-level memory tracking system: [Aaron Giles]
926 * moved low-level tracking out of emu\emualloc into
927    lib\util\corealloc so it can be shared among all components and
928    used by core libraries
929 * global_alloc and friends no longer use a resource pool to track
930    allocations; turns out this was a wholly redundant system that
931    wasted a lot of memory
932 * removed global_resource_pool entirely
933 * added global_free_array to delete arrays allocated with
934    global_alloc_array
935 * added tracking of object versus array allocation; we will now error
936    if you use global_free on an array, or global_free_array on an
937    object
938
939-Added new utility helper const_string_pool which can be used to
940 efficiently accumulate strings that are not intended to be modified.
941 Used by updated makelist and software list code. [Aaron Giles]
942
943-Updated png2bdc and makelist tools to not leak memory and use more
944 modern techniques (no more MAX_DRIVERS in makelist, for example).
945 [Aaron Giles]
946
947-Deprecated auto_strdup and removed all uses by way of caller-managed
948 astrings and the software list rewrite. [Aaron Giles]
949
950-Rewrote software list management: [Aaron Giles]
951 * removed the notion of a software_list that is separate from a
952    software_list_device; they are one and the same now
953 * moved several functions into device_image_interface since they
954    really didn't belong in the core software list class
955 * lots of simplification as a result of the above changes
956
957-Added button-lamps support to all Cherry Bonus III sets. Also created
958 almost realistic control panel internal layout. Added technical notes
959 about Cherry Bonus III memory map. [Roberto Fresca]
960
961-Double-Up Poker (Jubilee) improvements [Roberto Fresca] Added partial
962 lamps support (some are missing), and a workaround for discrete sounds
963 trigger offsets. Also a zillion of technical notes about findings.
964
965-pgm.c: simplify tile gfx ROM loading/decoding [Alex Jackson]
966
967-i8089: channel priorities [Carl]
968
969-m6502: fixed some unofficial opcodes [R. Belmont]
970
971-Fixed MT05065. Double Crown PLDs converted to binary. [Roberto Fresca]
972
973-Added lamps support to Golden Star (IGS) sets. Also fixed the inputs
974 accordingly. [Roberto Fresca]
975
976-Removed pseudo-palettes from video/generic.c. All drivers that were
977using them now have an actual palette [Alex Jackson]
978
979-shanghai.c: Add PCB layout and ROM locations for Shanghai sets.
980 [Brian Troha]
981
982-New driver for American Music Poker (Amusco) based on a 8086 CPU +
983 CRTC 6845 + PSG SN76489 [Roberto Fresca]
984
985-Added palette to k053250 device, fixing xexex crash. Also modernized
986 its coding conventions (dynamic_arrays, device_video_interface to
987 attach screen, etc.) [Alex Jackson]
988
989-HD63484 updates: [Sandro Ronco]
990 * converted to use a 16-bits address map
991 * implemented RPR, MOD, SCLR, SCPY, LINE, PLG, PLL, CRCL, ARC, FRCT,
992    PAINT, DOT, PTN, GCPY commands
993 * added pattern RAM emulation
994
995-wd_fdc: Refactored to use devcb2 callbacks. [Curt Coder]
996
997-Rewritten 6551 emulation. Changed clock to be the o2 clock instead of
998 the baud rate xtal, supports external clocking, generates transmit
999 interrupts when idle, added echo mode, dcd/dsr/cts input handling,
1000 parity & stop bit checking. Tested and fixed hookup to commodore lcd &
1001 plus 4. [smf]
1002
1003-offtwall.c:  Corrected the rom names and locations of the upright
1004 version of Atari’s Off the Wall and also added a dump of one of the
1005 GAL’s (a GAL16V8A-25LP) on the boardset which was the only one without
1006 the security fuse blown.  [Kevin Eshbach]
1007
1008-upd765: Refactored to use devcb2 callbacks. [Curt Coder]
1009
1010-Made gfx_element::decode() private; fixed drivers that were calling it
1011 directly [Alex Jackson]
1012
1013-added proper IC locations to tmnt2 sets [Ben76]
1014
1015-added Korean? tile rom to newly dumped Shanghai3 set [Brian Troha]
1016 (was present on the board, but unused in our sets? probably for use
1017 with undumped Korean program roms and leftover from conversion)
1018
1019-h63484.c compile fix [external]
1020
1021-added compile time check for 64-bit intel compiler to delegate.h
1022 (to prevent assert(sizeof(mfp) <= sizeof(m_rawdata)); ) [external]
1023
1024-Made an attempt to fix the banking of MPU4 games, this isn't perfect,
1025 but most non banked games will now run. [J. Wallace]
1026
1027-SDL: Removed "totalColors" hack, now only RGB32 is sent to the GPU. [R. Belmont]
1028
1029-littlerb.c: Fill in missing dipswitch settings and add dipswitch
1030 locations to Little Robin. [Brian Troha]
1031
1032-SDL: Next stage cleanup, aligned texture conversion with current
1033 Windows/D3D code, and fixed overzealous GL texture caching.
1034 [R. Belmont]
1035
1036-render.c: clean out dead, broken code accidentally revived by palette
1037 rewrite. Allocate brightness/contrast/gamma-adjusted palettes on first
1038 use, since we can't allocate them at startup anymore due to init order
1039 issues [Alex Jackson]
1040
1041-tms5110r.inc: updated tms5110 to use newer chirp table, based on decap
1042 [Lord_Nightmare, digshadow]
1043
1044-315_5124.c: improved X-Scroll register timing. [Enik Land]
1045
1046-netlist: Nice performance increase by removing logic terminals from
1047 net if they are inactive. Introduced a linked-list class to abstract
1048 linked-lists. Fixed deactivating devices. You have to enable this
1049 because it is not guaranteed to be timing-exact. [Couriersud]
1050
1051- N64 RSP changes: [MooglyGuy]
1052 * Added SIMUL_SIMD flag for easy finding of bugs in SIMD opcodes
1053 * Fixed SIMD versions of SSV, SLV, SDV, STV, VSUB, VADDC, VSUBC, and
1054    VGE
1055 * Removed SIMD optimizations from VMACF, VMADL, VMADN, as they were
1056   provided by the CEN64 author but do not appear to have the same
1057   results as MESS's scalar implementations, and so are not trustworthy
1058
1059-h8: Rewrite [O. Galibert]
1060
1061-updated MegaPlay and MegaTech to use modern SMS VDP. [Fabio Priuli]
1062
1063-Fixes to correct some of the regression test data used by the jedutil
1064 test.  [Kevin Eshbach]
1065
1066-Refactor UI graphics viewer to handle 'empty' gfx decoders
1067 [Alex Jackson]
1068
1069-h8: dec16/inc16 fix [Fabio Priuli]
1070
1071-h8: Sort out UE polarity [O. Galibert]
1072
1073-h8: Fix enable handling in timers [O. Galibert]
1074
1075-Split C45 road chip from namcoic.c [Alex Jackson]
1076
1077-h8: Prettify registers/flags in debugger [O. Galibert]
1078
1079-floppy: splice-related fixes [O. Galibert]
1080
1081-Improvements to 4enlinea driver. Hooked preliminary HCGA controller in
1082 CGA mode (we need proper UM487F device emulation. Added documentation
1083 and findings after some analysis. [Roberto Fresca]
1084
1085-Move destructor definitions out of header files included by emu.h;
1086 clean some obsolete junk out of machine.h [Alex Jackson]
1087
1088-gfx_elements now have a xor mask that is applied to each source bit
1089 offset when decoding. This can be used to deal with endianness when
1090 decoding gfx from RAM or from program ROMs, or to reverse the bit
1091 order sense when this is useful (e.g. pgm.c) [Alex Jackson]
1092
1093-mc6845: Added display enable and horizontal/vertical back porch widths
1094 to the update function. Updated some MESS drivers to make use of this.
1095 [Curt Coder]
1096
1097-4enlinea: Adjusted the initial screen parameters according to the HCGA
1098 controller programmed registers and improved the way the graphics are
1099 drawn. Now the text is readable. [Roberto Fresca]
1100
1101-4enlinea: Hooked a status handler for the HCGA controller. (for now,
1102 simulating the state). Improved the memory map fixing the RAM amount
1103 and offset, and added the correct offset for the HCGA status. Also
1104 hooked 2 debug handlers on ports e000-e001 that spit some random
1105 graphics after 30 seconds of the game execution (clue to figure out).
1106 [Roberto Fresca]
1107
1108-Naomi updates: [MetalliC]
1109 * Redumped 17 GD-ROMs from .gdi source to CHD v5
1110 * Added several missing protection keys
1111 * Added clone "18 Wheeler (Upright)"
1112 * Added set "Club Kart: European Session (2003)" and unprotected
1113    clone
1114 * Added clone "Club Kart: European Session [Rev. D]"
1115
1116-cps1.c: Dumped and added MS22B.1A to mswordj [Bonky0013, neocps1]
1117
1118-Moved MPU4 Test Program 4 to the MOD4 driver, still needs some work on
1119 the timing though. Fixed Gamball reel positioning, this will need more
1120 work to standardise. [J.Wallace]
1121
1122-quickjac: added inputs. [Sandro Ronco]
1123
1124-namco23: Spring cleaning, including: [O. Galibert]
1125 * remove a bunch of s23 prefixes/suffixes useless since the
1126    OOification
1127 * rename p3d to c435
1128 * unify c435 dma and pio
1129 * identify the generic set state command
1130 * implement the interrupt set state subcommand
1131 * fix the endianness of the controls port (controls still don't work
1132    though)
1133 * various whatevers                                   
1134
1135-tiamc1:
1136 * background scroll corrected and enabled [MetalliC]
1137 * fixed bad graphics rom in "Snezhnaja Koroleva" [Titus]
1138
1139-cosmac: Added write line members for the input lines. [Curt Coder]
1140
1141-namcos23: Fix the irq storm that killed Downhill Bikers [O. Galibert]
1142
1143-Untangled Little Robin sound HW from video timings [Angelo Salese]
1144
1145-Fixed a long standing bug in tempest by specifying quantum perfect
1146 emulation. All save states should be removed since they may contain a
1147 corrupted game state. [Couriersud]
1148
1149-namcos23: Fix 3D computations in timecrs2 [O. Galibert]
1150
1151-namcos23: Better understanding of the command format, downhill and
1152 500gp now show something (completely wrong) [O. Galibert]
1153
1154-namcos23: Enhance matrix-vector mul [O. Galibert]
1155
1156-Added support for horizontal 'belt' reels which may be needed for
1157 future AWP titles. To invoke, add an attribute "beltreel" to the reel
1158 element in the layout, and set it to 1. [J. Wallace]
1159
1160-h8: Add the h8/3008 [O. Galibert]
1161
1162-Double Crown: Added button-lamps support, coin in and coin out
1163 counters, MAX693 watchdog reset, minor input fixes, and added
1164 technical notes. [Roberto Fresca]
1165
1166-Double Crown: Redesigned the button-lamps layout and added support for
1167 CANCEL button. [Roberto Fresca]
1168
1169-New Z80 CPU derivate Toshiba TLCS-Z80 [Felipe Sanches]
1170

105Source Changes
106--------------
107-DEC Rainbow updates: [M. Burke, R. Belmont]
108 * LK201 keyboard matrix hooked up and working
109 * LK201 serial I/O first pass
110

112
113-changed poly88 driver to use callbacks instead of diserial connect() [smf]
114
115-Converted x68000 keyboard into a separate serial device. This allows
116 the removal of the uart hle in the driver (which didn't work, it was
117 always two characters behind). diserial cannot sync with the start bit
118 properly when using an external clock, so for now I've added a hack
119 that is only enabled when using the MC68901 (setting the flag ignores
120 the extra spurious bit that was getting shifted in). [smf]
121
122-fixed uninitialised variables, atari st mouse works again [smf]
123
124-Replicator 1 driver: [Felipe Sanches]
125 * status: no sound / not working

152 * Improved (still imperfect) bidirectional comms with LK201
153    [R. Belmont]
154
155-a7800.c - Positional description for difficulty switches added.
156 [Robert Tuccitto]
157
158-compclr2: Added preliminary software list for floppy images.
159 [Jim Battle, Curt Coder]

166 * remove FM support of the sms2kr driver
167 * remove Reset button of the smsj driver
168 * add emulation of the japanese Sports Pad model, required by Sports
169    Pad Soccer
170 * adjust some code of other controller devices.
171
172-fanucs15: Added Guru Readme(tm) for Base 1 board. [Guru]
173
174-compclr2: Added read-only support for Compucolor Virtual Floppy
175 Disk Images. [Curt Coder]
176
177-ISA bus can now use its own address spaces instead of taking
178 over a CPU's. [R. Belmont]
179
180-pt68k4 updates: [R. Belmont]
181 * Added ISA slots and a selection of cards supported by the boot ROMs
182 * Added XT keyboard interface
183 * Added speaker (system now beeps)
184
185-indiana: preliminary hookup of ISA bus and peripherals and MFP. [R. Belmont]
186
187-pc_vga: default DAC mask to 0xff, indiana now shows text [Carl]
188
189-apf  [Robbbert]
190 * Added -ram switch, the default is 8K, this allows most tapes to
191    load
192 * Fixed pasting of upper-case program listings
193 * Added cart slot to apfimag, you must now load the BASIC cart
194    yourself.
195 * Any apfm1000 cart can be loaded into apfimag
196
197-Improved the commodore lcd mmu emulation, some software is
198 starting to work a bit [smf]
199
200-corrected function key mapping [smf]
201
202-apf : more fixes, systems marked as WORKING [Robbbert]
203 * Fixed bad gfx in rocket patrol and blackjack
204 * Fixed space destroyer (you must choose -ram 9k)
205 * Fixed last-minute regression in Space Destroyer
206 * Swapped left & right keypads, so they are on the correct sides of
207   the keyboard.
208
209-clcd.c added support for bitmap mode [smf]
210
211-indiana: Added IDE controller, fixed 16-bit ISA I/O
212 [R. Belmont, Carl]
213

215
216-gameboy/gbcolor: fixed NVRAM saving. [Fabio Priuli]
217
218-i8530h31 now *almost* boots or at least make some beeps,
219 instead of halting because of unmapped I/O accesses, or halting
220 because of a bad checksum because the ROM was loaded improperly.
221 [alegend45]
222
223-amstrad: Added preliminary support for the AMX mouse.
224 [Barry Rodewald]
225
226-gbcolor: fixed heavy gfx regression caused by my conversion of
227 the LCD to be a device. [Fabio Priuli]
228
229-Floppy subsystem documentation checkpoint.  Incomplete, but
230 there's too many people looking at it not to push it. [O. Galibert]
231
232-pc/xt/at: added basic implementation of the Programmers
233 Development System ISA card.  The PDS editor software requires the
234 hardware present to start up.  Some core work will need to be done to
235 get any communications working, however. [Barry Rodewald]
236
237-nes.c: Added support for NROM368 homebrew PCB. [Fabio Priuli]
238
239-nes.c: Fixed support for BMC-12in1 PCB, based on Cah4e3's research.

248
249-apple3 changes: [R. Belmont]
250 * Removed ProFile stub, we'll do that as a proper card later
251 * Removed ROM patch now that we can specify the ACIA is
252    Rockwell-style
253 * Allow -ramsize 256K or 512K
254 * Both VIAs can generate IRQs now, as per schematics
255
256-apple3: Adjusted palette, confidence test color names screen is
257 now reasonable. [R. Belmont]
258
259-Refactored the Commodore 1541/1551/1571/2031 disk drives to use
260 the modern floppy system. [Curt Coder]
261
262-apple2gs: Add support for Vulcan Gold IDE card [R. Belmont, Spk]
263
264-apple3: improved interrupt generation and scanline timing [R. Belmont]
265
266-nes: added support for Multi-Discrete PCB (aka Mapper 28) used
267 by Action 53 - Function 16 - Volume ONE - "Streemerz Bundle" homebrew
268 multicart. [Fabio Priuli]
269
270-nes: added support for PRG-only PCB (aka Mapper 218) which uses
271 NT-RAM as CHR-RAM, used by nocash's game Magic Floor. [Fabio Priuli]
272
273-Refactored the Commodore 2040/3040/4040 disk drives to use the
274 modern floppy system. [Curt Coder]
275
276-apple3: extended addressing applies to all $x1 opcodes.  SOS
277 apps now start up.  [R. Belmont]
278
279-nes_mmc5: misc wip [Fabio Priuli]
280 * hacked around the limitations of our PPU code, so to support the
281    different CHR registers
282 * implemented Extended Attribute Mode (Ex1)
283 * improved PRG-RAM handling
284 * simplified NT-RAM handling
285 * first attempt to add split screen mode, still broken
286
287-Apple drivers cleanup: [R. Belmont]
288 * apple3_state is no longer an unnecessary subclass of apple2_state
289 * ay3600 keyboard decoder is now independent from apple2_state
290 * cleaned up some includes
291
292-apple3: rewrote keyboard handling from scratch using Curt's
293 AY-5-3600 device.  Much, much better. [R. Belmont]
294
295-nes: added support for iNES 2.0 submappers [Fabio Priuli]
296
297-nes_irem.c: fixed Ai Sensei no Oshiete, based on hardware doc
298 by naruko [Fabio Priuli]
299
300-amstrad: Added a basic implementation of the Programmers Development
301 System hardware for the CPC.  Only lacks a way to set up a parallel
302 connection between MESS instances to enable PC<->CPC communication.
303 [Barry Rodewald]
304
305-nes_bandai: documented differences between FCG-1/FCG-2 boards
306 and LZ93D50 ones, based on analysis by naruko. [Fabio Priuli]
307
308-Removed PET CB1 read handler, it is pushing vsync to it
309 already. [smf]
310
311-apple2: rewrote keyboard handling according to schematics and
312 using the generic AY-3600.  [R. Belmont]
313
314-nes_bandai: added emulation of the barcode reader for Datach
315 Joint ROM System unit, making playable most games using it.
316 [Fabio Priuli]
317
318-nes: Properly implemented the Bandai Datach as a passthru cart.
319 Datach games have now to be loaded with the following commands "mess
320 nes -cart datach -cart2 gamename" where gamename can be either a
321 shortname from the datach softlist, or a fullpath to the iNES files
322 (or to headerless 256k dump of the Datach minicarts). This is accurate
323 to the hardware, because Datach carts could not be mounted in the main
324 Famicom cartridge slot. [Fabio Priuli]
325
326-apf : added support for CAS and CPF cassettes [Robbbert]
327
328-gl3000s: added LCD and keyboard emulation. [Sandro Ronco]

349 cycles. [R. Belmont]
350
351-apple3: Fixed page 2 addresses in all graphics modes, fixed
352 glitches in color hires rendering. [R. Belmont]
353
354-apple2: Support another Videoterm clone, the AE Viewmaster 80.
355 [R. Belmont]
356
357-nes: added Karaoke Studio inputs, mapped to keys Z, X, C. you
358 can now select songs and see the animation, even if I would not call
359 playable the games this way. [Fabio Priuli]
360
361-Added BIOS from Midnight Blue PlayStation <10 million model>
362 SCPH-7000W [smf, Myria]
363
364-apple3: Some cleanup, plus writes to Fxxx when write protect

518 * Added SIMUL_SIMD flag for easy finding of bugs in SIMD opcodes
519 * Fixed SIMD versions of SSV, SLV, SDV, STV, VSUB, VADDC, VSUBC, and
520    VGE
521 * Removed SIMD optimizations from VMACF, VMADL, VMADN, as they were
522   provided by the CEN64 author but do not appear to have the same
523   results as MESS's scalar implementations, and so are not trustworthy
524

546    VBLANK IRQ timing (border effects works fine now);
547 * Scorpion: fixed ports addressing; both machines marked as working.
548    Notes:
549 * there are still issues with BetaDisk - for unk reason wrong
550    commands passed  to WD17xx (imho ROM switching works somehow
551    wrong), but anyway with  write protected disk images it works
552    more-less fine - files from disks loaded OK;
553 * Pentagon1024 randomly crashes then selecting "GLUK BOOT", maybe also
554   coz of rom switching.
555
556-apple2: added games starting with "C" to the softlist. [R. Belmont]

569    Diagnostic Test Cart now works.
570 * Corrected ROM_FILL.
571
572-Attempt to partially rewrite AAKART, and added 4bpp video mode
573 for Acorn Archimedes. It now boots at prompt screen, and actually even
574 boots into splash screen and dies almost soon with an error if you
575 provide a properly initialized NVRAM. [Angelo Salese]
576
577-saturn: added default formatting to Backup RAM carts, so that
578 games can be saved in the expansion without passing through the
579 console menu the first time the expansion is used [Fabio Priuli]
