Better support for external MMUs (emu\dimemory.cpp, emu\machine.cpp, debug\debugbuf.cpp, debug\debugcmd.cpp, debug\debugcon.cpp, debug\debugcpu.cpp, debug\dvdisasm.cpp, debug\dvmemory.cpp, debugger\osx\disassemblyview.mm, debugger\osx\disassemblyviewer.mm, debugger\osx\memoryview.mm, debugger\osx\memoryviewer.mm, debugger\qt\memorywindow.cpp, debugger\win\memoryviewinfo.cpp amd m68000\m68000.cpp). . Merged wayward speakers (midw8080\mw8080bw_a.cpp, sega\model1.cpp, nscsi\cd.cpp) - Compiling . Allow "0" to be specified as a parameter for numeric options (tools\unidasm.cpp) . You're supposed to specify MEM_RESERVE when requesting additional address space. This has been buggy since the very first VCS revision of the MAME 0.121 source, but Windows tolerates it (lib\osdlib_win32.cpp). 0.284 - New games: Jammin' (prototype) - New Non-Working games: The Aladdin (V1.2U), Animal Kaiser - The King Of Animals (ANA1004-NA-B), Animal Kaiser - The King of Animals (Evo 1, ANA2004-NA-A), Animal Kaiser - The King of Animals (Evo 2, ANA2004-NA-A), Animal Kaiser - The King of Animals (Evo 8, ANA2004-NA-A), Animal Kaiser - The King of Animals (unknown Evo, ANA2004-NA-A), Da Huangguan, Dongshizhang (China, Ver. 212), Golden Egg (version U1.8), Golden Treasure Island (Ver.

Whiz Edition 4 (6221-10, U5-0A, alt Strange But True trivia), 'unknown Amstar cards game (set 2)', World Invader and Xevious (Atari, set 4) - Removed games: War: Final Assault (EPROM 1.91 Apr 13 1999, GUTS 1.3 Apr 7 1999, GAME Apr 7 1999) - New drivers: funtech_h8.cpp, hominn_980924.cpp, hominn_mcs51.cpp, namcos14x.cpp and unkcrane8085.cpp - New devices: scsi_pc98_hd and sei25x_rise1x - New mame.ini options: artwork_font (CORE ARTWORK OPTIONS) - New Clrmame: https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/#downloads - Bob Zed (What's new): https://youtu.be/3kJ-VGUSwJs - CPU . ADChips SE3208: Cleaned up code in VRender0-related drivers and devices: Suppress side effects for debugger reads. Use snake_case names, use abbreviated integer types and use lowercase hexadecimal digits. Improved logging. Avoid reserved name for type (cpu\se3208\se3208.cpp and se3208dis.cpp). . Intel 8086: Effective address calculatation time varies greatly from one (GitHub #14632). CPU variant to the next. On the 286, it's effectively free, unless two additions are required, in which case it takes 1 cycle. On the 8088/8086 on the other hand, it can take up to 12 cycles. There needs to be a different set of timings for each CPU variant. I tested on a 286 system (att6300p) with https://thandor.net/benchmark/36 and the score went from 29 to 46 - almost a 60% speedup! Also added a few minor cycle count fixes (i86\i86.cpp). . Intel 80960KA/KB: Clear burst stall on reset (fixes Sega Model 2 games hanging on soft reset) (i960\i960.cpp) . NEC V53: Fixed SCU clock selection on V53 and emulated the baud rate generator. Clear m_brc_enable in constructor (nec\v5x.cpp) - SOUND . FM core: Extend at_end FN by 1. Note: (MESS) pc98:metlfrce wants this to detect the speakboard, cfr. note in header card (3rdparty\ymfm\src\ymfm_adpcm.h). ADPCM updates from https://github.com/aaronsgiles/ymfm/pull/40. Fixed endianness and alignment issues when writing WAV files (ymfm\src\ymfm.h). . MagicEyes VRender0 Sound Engine: Update per-channel cache when texture memory pointer is changed. Simplify casting (sound\vrender0.cpp) . Sound Interface: Sync the speaker streams, fixes the crashing after ~24hours at 48Khz when there is a resampler just before the speaker. Fixed fatalerror when trying to change the sample rate while in stream_update (emu\sound.cpp). Note: Kills g13jnr. Added error for problematic initial sample rates (emu\sound.cpp). . Taito Ensoniq Sound System: Re-enable esqpump aux outputs (taito\taito_en.cpp) - DEVICE . Floppy . Added support for machines that have non-standard TS (two-sided) line hookups (machine\upd765.cpp) . Command interface improvements: Eliminated voluminous info dump on formats and filesystems when invoked with no arguments. Show only usage info for relevant command when parameters are invalid. Added help command to print information about any or all commands, formats and filesystems. Added flopblocks and hdblocks commands to enumerate blocks used by every file or directory on the specified volume (tools\floptool.cpp). . Internal API change: Raw pointer accessors (data, rodata) are no longer provided for fsblk_t::block_t. Other accessors used to be based on these methods, but now require their own internal overrides. This entails more copying of data in many cases, but will allow more flexible subclassing opportunities in the future. To compensate for the removal of raw pointer accessors, added methods to fsblk_t::block_t for checking whether a portion of a block is equal to a memory range or a string (eqmem, eqstr). The resulting changed behavior in formats/fs_oric_jasmin.cpp actually fixes a bug in the directory search routine (formats\fsblk.cpp). . Hudson HuC6270 VDC: Added AR readback (video\huc6270.h) . Imgtool: Fixed error of assigning nullptr to variable of type std::string (imgtool\imgtool.cpp) . MagicEyes VRender0 Video Engine: Use templates and function pointer arrays for draw functions. Use device_memory_interface for external memory. Minor fixes in single color fill function. Use pal5bit/pal6bit functions for color field extraction (video\vrender0.cpp). . MOS 6551 ACIA: Do not disable the transmitter when a command deasserts RTS. RTS high disables transmitter, but not in the middle of a character (machine\mos6551.cpp). . Namco Custom . Namco C45 Road + Namco C169 (ROZ): Allow priority/mask value writes in draw routines (namco\namco_c45road.cpp + namco\namco_c169roz.cpp) . Namco 186/187 or C355/187 (sprites): Improved flexibility: Use callback for mixing and added transparent pen configuration. Moved alternate precision flag to configuration. Fixed potential crashes. Reduced duplication and unnecessary code (shared\namco_c355spr.cpp). . Paradise Systems PVGA1A i/f: Scaffold extended space access (video\pc_vga_paradise.cpp) . RAM: Allocate memory with suitable alignment for any type (machine\ram.cpp) . SCSI Bus: Added a BSY line callback suitable for drive LEDs to the bus itself (machine\nscsi_bus.cpp). Now all NSCSI users can have a drive activity LED. . Seibu Kaihatsu SEI251/SEI252/RISE10/RISE11 Sprite generator: Merged SEI25X and RISE1X sprite hardware emulation into a device. Added configuration option for allocating raw sprite graphics bitmap. Separated plotting logic from sprite loop (seibu\sei25x_rise1x_spr.cpp; seibu\feversoc.cpp, r2dx_v33.cpp, raiden2.cpp, seibucats.cpp and seibuspi.cpp) . SoundBlaster 16: Fixed sb16_lle produces ugly beeps in (MESS) ct486 Wolfenstein 3D (ID 09316). Converted irq triggers to input_merger. Moved OPL3 ranges in host_io map. Round up cnt reads to actual raw writes. Ack irq16 too when reading 0x22e from host side. Subscribe to ISA remap. Mode bit 1 is for silence, fixes (MESS) fwmigolf card detection (isa\sb16.cpp). Hookup legacy Microphone level r/w (sound\ct1745.cpp). . Western Digital WD33C9x SCSI Controller: Fixed negate ACK should trigger an irq (machine\wd33c9x.cpp, GitHub #14532) . Zilog Z80: Skipped memory write in stackless NMI mode (z80\z80n, z80\z80.lst) . Zilog Z80 DMA Controller: Relaxed fatal error which were used for unknown commands catching (machine\z80dma.cpp) - aleck64.cpp: Set up more stuff at construction (nintendo\n64_v.cpp). Got rid of unused private field (nintendo\rdpblend.cpp/h). - armedf.cpp . Terra Force: Correct offset for marking dirty tile. Fixes the left and right sides of the image are cut off in the title demo scene (ID 09326). Increased spriteram size. Fixes sprites may disappear during attract mode (ID 09327). Correction to blitter_txram_w dirty mask for clone Terra Force (Japan, bootleg with additional Z80). . Correct FM sound chip type (armedf and terraf) (ID 09328) (ID 09329) - balsente.cpp: Allow self-oscillation when no waveforms are enabled (sound\cem3394.cpp) - brkthru.cpp: Increased screen width and rearranged comment block.

Correct a couple of dsp563xx instructions and added the opcode to the display. Fixed regression in determining operating mode (cpu\dsp563xx\dsp563xx.cpp). - cps1.cpp: Dumped PLD for clones area88r and cawingjr - crospuzl.cpp, crystal.cpp, ddz.cpp, menghong.cpp, psattack.cpp, trivrus.cpp and v0bowl.cpp: Cleaned up code in VRender0-related drivers and devices: Suppress side effects for debugger reads. Use snake_case names, use abbreviated integer types and use lowercase hexadecimal digits. Improved logging. - deco32.cpp: Fixed save state support, added context to logging and cleaned up code. - firebeat.cpp: Added the SWP30 to the list of drc-using CPUs (scripts\src\cpu.lua) - gaiden.cpp: Make tile scrolling consistent with hardware. Added missing x offset registers for the tile layers. Use set_scrolldx/y to set the x/y offsets for the tilemaps. Adjust x/y offset logic so it matches up with what happens on hardware. - gal3.cpp, namcofl.cpp, namconb1.cpp, namcos2.cpp, namcos21_c67.cpp and namcos21_de.cpp: Use abbreviated integer types consistently.

Cherry Master '99 (QQ-1 V9B.00, bootleg) improvements: Applied same machine and scheme than the original Dyna parent. . Extended the Cherry Master 99 extra bankswitching PLDs to top7, top7a and war3cb sets. All running in the same hardware base. Removed the bad dump flag to the top7 and top7a sets bipolar PROMs. Confirmed that they are identical to the Cherry Master 99 ones. Sharing the same Cherry Master 99 regular PLDs with the top7 sets and war3cb. . Reorganized Dyna El Dorado sets by hardware (Dyna D9101, D9105 and D9106C PCB) . Added nfb96 conditional DIP switches for payout rate/difficulty display (DSW1). Implemented conditional nfb96 DIP switches behavior for DSW1 based on DSW4:2. When "Show In Confirm Screen" (DSW4:2) is set to Percentage, DSW1 now displays payout rate values (55%-90%). When set to Level of Difficulty, DSW1 instead displays levels (1-8). Both sets of options use the same bitmask (0x07) and are filtered through PORT_CONDITION to match the hardware behavior. . Fixed all remaining Wild Cat 3 animations . Added handcrafted Dallas (ds2401_50.bin) iButton data to fl7_1000, fl7_2000, fl7_2k16, fl7_50, fl7_50_gs01, fl7_50_gs02, fl7_50_gs03, fl7_50_gs04, fl7_50_gs05, fl7_50_gs06, fl7_50_gs07, fl7_50_gs08, fl7_500, fl7_tw and fl7_twa.

Hooked up the second address space selected by /ROM pin 86 (sound\l7a1045_l6028_dsp_a.cpp). Adapted to use the ROM address space and turned off logging. - igs017.cpp: Support control panel for starzan, tarzan103m and clones. Marked tarzanc and starzan + clones not working due to protection issues (ID 09197). - model2.cpp . Tidy some stuff (sega\model2_v.cpp, sega\model2rd.ipp). Replaced a macro with a constexpr function (sega\model2rd.ipp). . Various improvements: Moved geo_parse() and frame number update to start of vertical blanking (fixes high score scrolling in segawski, 2D palette in dynamcopc, and 3D graphics in bel not displaying after first booting up). Use exponent to adjust the Z-value scale for Z-sorting. Merged model2_3d_process_quad() and model2_3d_process_triangle() into a single template function, since most of the code was identical. Original Model 2 does have FIFO control; it uses the same 315-5673 buffer controller as Model 2A and 2C. Replaced scanline timer with vertical blanking callback (sega\model2.cpp, sega\model2_v.cpp). Fixes shot enemies and burning cars skeletons flickering colour is a strange pink/magenta like in vcop2 (ID 09287). .

When writing to IRQ mask register, wait two cycles before checking for sound IRQ. Fixes music missing in beginner stage of Virtua Cop 2 (sega\model2.cpp) (ID 09313). . Use object finder and suppress side effects for GTX protection handler - namcos2.cpp: Use abbreviated integer types consistently. Use single-pass C355 draw routine. Split driver state classes for different hardware configurations. Optimized drawing slightly. Improved ROM region names, updated notes, and cleaned up code (namco\namcos2.cpp). Use priority mechanism rather than multiple drawing passes (namco\namcos2_roz.cpp, namco\namcos2_sprite.cpp). Added priority value and mask parameters to drawing functions, and cleaned up code (namco\namcos2_roz.cpp). Added priority value and mixing callbacks. Draw sprites in a single pass using priority control. Cleaned up code and updated notes (namco\namcos2_sprite.cpp) [cam900]. - namcos10.cpp: Move rate changes outside of stream update (sound\lc82310.cpp).

VIDEO RENDERING SYSTEM . Fixed PowerPC build (video\rgbutil.cpp) . Improved accuracy and performance calculating text aspect ratio (emu\rendlay.cpp). Also added another text alignment option to stretch the text to fill its bounds horizontally. The current code calculating the aspect ratio for text involves looping, calculating the width of text for a variety of decreasing aspect ratios until the text's width is less than the available bounds. However, this string width calculation performs the same loop over the text each time, finally multiplying by the candidate aspect ratio. That text width calculation thus really only needs to be done once. Further, instead of trying different aspect ratios, the ratio can simply be calculated directly by dividing the width of the bounds by the string's width. This also calculates a more accurate aspect ratio, rather than always resulting in an aspect ratio of (0.95)^n. For example, when trying to fit a 101-pixel wide text into a 100-pixel wide space, the current code would result in an aspect ratio of 0.95, making the text 96 pixels wide, leaving 4 pixels unused; the new code will instead calculate the aspect ratio as 100/101 == 0.9900990099... , making the text use the full 100 available pixels. This in turn allows us to easily calculate the ratio also if we want to not just schrink but also stretch the text to fill the available space, so we add that as another text alignment option, number 3 (three). This PR also demonstrates this in the VFX family of layouts, where on the default Full view, the text "MUSIC PRODUCTION SYNTHESIZER" ("DYNAMIC COMPONENT SYNTHESIZER" on the VFX), the logo-like text "ensoniq", and the keyboard-specific markers "VFX", "VFX-SD", "SD-1" and "3 2 V O I C E" can now be made to fill their available space horizontally as they should, making it all look that much more like the real thing. Fixed text clipping introduced by https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/14550. Guard against possible divide by 0 (emu\rendlay.cpp). Got rid of syntax that definitely isn't supported from layouts (emu\rendlay.cpp). . Added artfont option for changing default font of .lay files text elements. Fixed text align issues with wide width font (emu\emuopts.cpp and emu\rendlay.cpp) . Replaced use of slash/backslash text for diagonal lines with SVG (layout\*) . MEMORY SYSTEM: Allocate memory region storage with suitable alignment for any type, added length accessor to and removed machine from memory region (emu\emumem.cpp). . LUA engine: Access machine.side_effects_disabled. Refactored machine:side_effects_disabled() as a method instead of property (mame\luaengine.cpp). . UI/OSD: Added speaker channels to gameinfo panel (ui\info.cpp) . Correct .lay files with text alignment issues on Linux (layout\*.lay) . Added 'tag' attribute to Info XML '' elements. Added entry in DTD for ' ' (mame\infoxml.cpp). . Reduced some of the short name inflation. It's getting silly, some of the short names are close to the length limit, which prevents forming clone names by adding suffixes. I raised my concerns about the possibility of short name inflation when I relaxed the limit. It looks like it wasn't unfounded. - Compiling . Avoid passing -m flags for pointer size on 64-bit RISC-V Linux (makefile) . Fixed a considerable number of things that give -Wcast-align warnings in src/mame. There are still far more. . Fixed a number of endianness issues. . Use multibyte.h helpers instead of playing fast and loose with alignments (emu\save.cpp, util\png.cpp, various disk and cassette formats) . Got rid of almost all remaining uses of driver_data (mame\*) and of long-obsolete driver_data (emu\machine.h). . Tidy some stuff (mostly LlamaCase template parameters and fewer temporary strings) (sound\adc.cpp and sound\swp30.cpp) .

PC hardware: Fixed up a few things for later PC models. The emulation of these systems still isn't very good in general (machine\genpc.cpp) . RS-232 Null Modem: Improved text transmission options: Added configuration switch to translate CR/LF characters from the bitbanger input prior to transmission. Multiple translation modes are provided. Added configuration switch to delay further transmission for a number of milliseconds after each CR is sent (rs232\null_modem.cpp). . Ticket Dispenser: Added a sensor test input for convenience. Also call the line status callback for ticket dispensers as well as hoppers and cleaned up the code a little (machine\ticket.cpp). - balsente.cpp: Improved CEM3394 and adapted sente6vb to the changes. Added and improved CEM3394 functionality relevant to the (MESS) 'sixtrak' while working on audio for that. Sending as a separate PR to keep the scope manageable, given there are also changes to 'sente6vb'. Incidental improvements to 'sente6vb': "unlocked" some sounds. An obvious one is the post-tuning chirp for each voice during boot. Centered audio around 0. CEM3394 changes: Made VCO output range [-1, 1], instead of [0, 1]. Added pulse-width dependent DC level of pulse waveform, as described in the datasheet. Waveform selection logic now works for voltages outside the bounds provided in the datasheet. Both the (MESS) sixtrak and sente6vb will some times use voltages outside those ranges. Added AC coupling between VCF output and VCA input. Forcing parameter computation in device_start(). Added ability to stream voltage inputs. The (MESS) sixtrak needs that for the VCA gain and VCF frequency. New configuration interface: New configure() method computes VCO and VCF zero frequencies based on the attached passive components. Exposed method for enabling pulse-width limiting for drivers that need it. Now disabled by default. Fixed compilation for FILTER_TYPE_ESQ1. sente6vb changes: Using new CEM3394 configuration interface. Verified that it produces almost the same VCO and VCF zero frequencies. Reduced CEM3394->speaker gain to compensate for increased loudness of CEM3394. Old range: [0, 1]. New range: [-1, 1]. Added AC coupling to noise output. Also changed the noise->CEM3394 gain from 0.5 to 1.0, so that the relative loudness remains the same. Old range: [0, 1] x 0.5 = [0, 0.5]. New range: [-0.5, 0.5] x 1. Fixed "FREQENCY" typo and updated comments (sound\cem3394.cpp). - bfm_ad5sw.cpp and bfm_sc5sw.cpp: Provide MBAR relocation and GPIO reads to MCF5206E CPU, fixes all games crash at start (ID 09270). - cdi.cpp: Fixed XA audio peaking by decoding in 32-bit and clipping to 16 later (philips\cdicdic.cpp). Simplified mouse position-update logic (philips\cdislavehle.cpp). Cleaned up (philips\cdicdic.cpp). - chihiro.cpp: Added DSP56362 to the audio processing unit in shared\xbox_pci.cpp as the general purpose DSP - cps1.cpp: Use three buttons per player for Final Fight (ID 09294). Note: The third button connection is always wired on the CPS-1 mainboard and does work in the game, even if it's an undocumented easter egg. In many cases, the board sets were installed in generic JAMMA cabinets with standard stick plus three buttons control panels, allowing players to use the third button. Final Fight button 3 is not officially documented and does not exist on the control panel, probably a leftover. Pressing it will allow you to escape from grabs and choke holds instantly. To access the hidden pattern test modes, turn the "Service Mode" dip to ON and hold down "P1 Button 1" ('Ctrl') or "P1 Button 2" ('Alt') during the bootup test. Button 1 will load the Scroll (Background) test and Button 2 will load an Obj (Sprite) viewer. - cps3.cpp: Provide an hack free status read (machine\wd33c9x.cpp) - goldstar.cpp .

New trilinear implementation, runs about 40% faster. Added support for microtextures (sega\model2_v.cpp and sega\model2rd.ipp). Pre-bind render callback delegates (sega\model2_v.cpp). . Limit microtexture blend factor to 127/256. Prevents microtextures being drawn when the base texture is transparent, fixes wallpaper in hotd (sega\model2rd.ipp). . Draw polygons front to back, use fill buffer. The real hardware has two 32Kx8 RAM chips described in the Model 2B manual as "fill memory"; these effectively function as a pair of 1-bit depth buffers, one for each framebuffer. Performance is improved over back-to-front rendering, particularly in more intensive scenes, since pixels that would be drawn where other pixels have already been drawn can be discarded early before texture mapping is performed. . Tilemap fixes: If all three layers (polygon, tilemap A, tilemap B) are transparent, palette entry #0 from tilemap B is shown (sega\model2_v.cpp). . Apply color table to tilemap layers, INDY 500 supports 16:9. Also use correct CRTC offset values when drawing directly to the framebuffer (sega\model2.cpp, sega\model2_v.cpp). .

DEC T11 . Handle unaligned accesses to I/O page. Certain devices on bk, uknc require this, as they do not handle the WTBT bus signal and always decode full address (t11\t11.cpp). . Improved interrupt handling in K1801VM1 CPU core. Added interrupt processing and EIS instructions to K1801VM2 core (t11\t11.cpp). . Dynamic Re-Compiling . drcbec . Fixed code for ROLC that played fast and loose with integer promotion, producing incorrect results for some compilers/targets (cpu\drcbec.cpp). . Fixed default floating point rounding mode not applying after RESTORE (cpu\drcbec.cpp). . drcbex86 . Clear the zero and carry flags for unordered floating point comparisons for consistency with the documentation and the other back-ends (cpu\drcbex86.cpp). . Mask flags when setting via SETFLGS or RESTORE to avoid possible buffer overrun, slightly optimised SETFLGS with an immediate operand. Optimised FCMP when only the unordered flags is required (cpu\drcbex86.cpp). . Optimised GETFLGS: LEA to avoid the need to save/restore flags for more flag combinations, choose registers more wisely to avoid unnecessary copies and reduce REX prefixes, use more efficient strategy to save and restore flags. Removed assert that made SETFLGS impossible to use in debug builds. Removed casts that are no longer necessary (cpu\drcbex86.cpp). . drcbex64 . Clear the zero and carry flags for unordered floating point comparisons for consistency with the documentation and the other back-ends. Slightly optimised flag calculation for some shifts and rotates (cpu\drcbex64.cpp). . Simplified and ptimised flag calculations for rotate instructions (cpu\drcbex64.cpp) .

Also reduced literal tags, suppress side effects for debugger reads and cleaned up code. . UML: Truncate immediate operands for CARRY (cpu\uml.cpp). Marked BREAK as clobbering all flags and marked LOAD, LOADS, STORE, SET, FLOAD and FSTORE as not modifying flags. CPUs already depend on SET not modifying flags (cpu\uml.cpp). . PowerPC drc: Generate a simpler multiplication opcode for MULLI (powerpc\ppcdrc.cpp) . x86/x64 code logging helpers: Encapsulated as a class, don't use unsafe sprintf, optimised a little, made comments and data ranges vectors (cpu\x86log.cpp). .

Fixed recompiler not sign-extending EHMAC inputs (interpreter was correct) (e132xs\e132xs.h, e132xs\e132xsdrc_ops.hxx). . Intel 8086: Avoid clearing working registers upon device reset (i86\i86.cpp). Note: This change is required in order for BIOS for the AT&T 6300 Plus to work. The 6300 Plus has external logic to reset the 80286 via the reset pin, so that it can return to Real Mode from protected mode. Upon return to Real Mode, the BIOS code is clearly depending on the fact that SP register is preserved upon reset (the BIOS does however explicitly load the SS register after reset, before it is used). The 8086 and 80286 documentation call out which registers are to be initialized upon reset, and SS is one of them. For AX, BX, CX, DX, BP, SP, SI and DI, the behaviour is not specified. However, based on what the 6300 Plus BIOS is doing, it appears the actual hardware behaviour is to leave them untouched. Although we can only be fully confident that the real 286 behaves this way with respect to the SP register, it's likely that the other registers which do not have explicitly defined initialization behavior are also not touched during reset. Note that this observed behaviour only pertains to reset via the reset pin, and not to power-on initialization. . Intel 80960KA/KB . Only trigger interrupts if the input changes to the asserted state (i960\i960.cpp). logr and logrl use base 2 and always use correct rounding mode (i960/i960.cpp). . Split check_irqs() into two separate functions, fixes "Fatal error: I960: 2f2f2f2e: Unhandled 00" during Self-Test in vf2o, overrev and sgt24h (ID 08347). Pending interrupts are only checked after returning from an interrupt, while executing modpc if it causes the current priority to be lowered, and after receiving a test pending interrupts IAC message (i960\i960.cpp). . Fixed typo in ROUNDRL instruction (i960\i960.cpp) . MCS-51 . Fixed destination RAM type in XCHD A, @R0/@R1. The initial value is read from internal RAM (IRAM_IR). The final value must be written to the internal RAM too (IRAM_IW instead of IRAM_W) (mcs51\mcs51ops.hxx). . Renamed the external data bus from io to data. Start turning the internal maps into real maps. Modernization step 1+2 (mcs51\mcs51.cpp) .

Changed to the option function to a static method. . SEI80BU Encrypted Z80 Interface: Moved SEI80BU emulation into its own source file (seibu\sei80bu.cpp). SEI80BU is not always part of the Z80-based sound system, e.g. seibu\mustache.cpp. Also added input frequencies for SEI80BU devices (uses the same clock as the Z80). . Seta ST0020/ST0032 Sprites: Made ST0020 and ST0032 separate devices. Use util::sext for sign extension.

Ensoniq 5505/5506 to 5510 interface: Route es5505 bus to a separate 'aux' stereo output. The VFX-SD and later keyboards in the family have not only a main stereo output, but also a second 'aux' stereo output that bypasses effects processing and has separate output jacks from the keyboard. This allows some sound to be routed for separate effects processing or recording (sound\esqpump.cpp and ensoniq\esq5505.cpp). . Ensoniq ES5505/6: Devices generate 20bit samples, not 16-bit ones. . Yamaha SWP30 sound chip: Overhaul. Use util::sext and explicit specializations for std::clamp and std::min.

Replaced the lpf by a chamberlin, it makes more sense. Adjusted final mix to capture the true highest bits, don't retrigger the filter envelope on writes and decode the loop parameters. More plausible loop point calculation. Updated documentation. Further work on loop parameters. The crowd in Xtreme Rally now sounds reasonable. Additional cleanup, proper logging, device map and multichannel output. Also changed owners/licensing given extensive rewrite since 0.280. Added DMA support. 16-bit linear sample format supported. Remap the channel mapping to make sense. Better logging. Cleanup, improved logging, fixed missing address mask, fixed issue with 16-bit playback and added enum for output channels. Make into a device_memory_interface with a side of memory_access cache (sound\l7a1045_l6028_dsp_a.cpp). . Improved MIPS/V53 communications, fixes many problems with Xtreme Rally. Spin the MIPS for the actual required time to prevent overruns, which is much lower (snk\hng64.cpp). . Cleaned up code: Use template for tilemap info function.

Bilinear luma filtering for SEGA Model 2 textured render path. Bilinear improvements discussed on pull request thread: Code standard. Anti Alpha higlighted edges ala Supermodel. Cleaner bilinear edge cases ala Supermodel. . Unoptimized preliminary support for mipmaps and trilinear filtering: Bilinear luma filtering for SEGA Model 2 textured render path. Bilinear improvements discussed on pull request thread. Code standard. Anti Alpha higlighted edges ala Supermodel. Cleaner bilinear edge cases ala Supermodel (sega\model2_v.cpp, sega\model2rd.ipp). Added dpdy information to extents to be able to compute mipmap lod index per pixel (video\poly.h). Added all mipmap information to m2_poly_extra_data structure (sega\model2.h, sega\model2_v.cpp). Added preliminary unoptimized support for mipmaps and trilinear filtering. Fix to code overflow error in transparent trilinear. Converted render callbacks to C++ member function templates (sega\model2rd.ipp). . Improved interrupt logic: Interrupt control register only returns interrupts actively signalled to the i960; masked interrupts are not returned. Sound IRQs are triggered when either TxRDY or RxRDY from the USART is active (Model 2B manual, section 6.2). Removed model2c_interrupt callback; no evidence that Model 2C behaves any differently to earlier board revisions. Removed vcop issue from TODO list since it no longer occurs (tested) (sega\model2.cpp). . Correctly combine sound USART interrupts. Make sound_ready_w() protected; read status from USART instead of tracking state using member variables. Reduced number of render delegates (sega\model2.cpp). . Added Virtua Racing layout (layout\vr.lay) also to 'Sega Touring Car Championship', when the cabinet option in the Test Menu is set to Deluxe, the screen's aspect ratio is set to 16:9. - moo.cpp: Separated original hardware and bootlegs in separate state classes. Modernized sound CPU ROM banking and made region size match ROM size. Reduced run-time tag lookups and literal tags.

Fixes severe graphical glitches in Namco System 22 games like Ridge Racer on ARM systems (video\poly.h) (ID 09276). - namcos23.cpp: Renderer optimizations, 5-10% perf increase on Panic Park. - nmk16.cpp: Fixed palette format for 'Acrobat Mission' and 'Koutetsu Yousai Strahl' and use input merger for Stagger I sound IRQ. Fixes color fading for 'Acrobat Mission' and 'Koutetsu Yousai Strahl' and their clones. - nmkmedal.cpp: Correct title for pllovegene and added reference video - nss.cpp, sfcbox.cpp, snesb.cpp and snesb51.cpp . Fixed status flag display in emulation mode. In emulation mode, "MX" are " B". Both bits are always 1, only the semantic meaning changes: " " doesn't exist, and "B" is only meaningful when pushed during an IRQ/NMI, to distinguish from BRK (g65816\g65816.cpp). . Fixed IRQ to be level triggered. Followup b3f2535: stop clearing LINE_IRQ when jumping to the IRQ vector. Properly written IRQ handlers won't notice any difference, but this fixes the behavior for software which (possibly intentionally) fails to clear an IRQ source; in that case the IRQ should continue to trigger (probably leading to a system hang). LINE_SO is generally not hooked up, but if it is, it doesn't raise IRQ. Also delete unused G65816_INT_* macros (g65816\g65816.cpp). - pgm3.cpp: Bootstrap first decrypted block from internal Flash - pluto6.cpp: Replaced 'Serial VFD Device' with msc1937_device (video\roc10937.cpp).

Added #include guards (seibu\seibuspi_m.h). - seta.cpp: Changed jockeyc and setaroul NVRAM init from random to all_0 - slapfght.cpp: Split driver classes for different hardware configurations. Suppress side effects for debugger reads and improved save state support. Reduced literal tags, run-time tag lookups, duplication and cleaned up code. - splash.cpp: Moved roldfrog to a separate driver state class and cleaned up code: Use machine_start() and machine_reset() overrides for machine start/reset functions. Cleaned up bitmap drawing functions. Suppress side effects for debugger reads. Reduced run-time tag lookups, literal tags and duplication. - stella8085.cpp: Clean up driver (adp\stella8085.cpp, machine\i8256.cpp/h and layout\disc2000.lay) - stv.cpp: Register variables to save states (sega\stvcd.cpp) - y2.cpp: Added motherboard ROM for System Board Y2 - Amiga (alg.cpp, arsystems.cpp, cubo.cpp, mquake.cpp and upscope.cpp): Revert MAME 0.274 (Refine silence on empty DMA buffers) with rationale (amiga\paula.cpp). - Anpanman CommuTouch: Identified set. Also confirmed dump on a second PCB. - Championship Bowling: Srcclean - Cosmo: Added support for starfield - Crazy Bell: Dumped PROMs - Cue Ball Wizard: Dumped a GAL for clone Cue Ball Wizard (Spanish) - Doko Demo Issho: Dumped BIOS ROMs, confirmed they are the same as gekimaka and pingu. - Dream Chance: Fleshed out the driver a bit. Identified the game as Dream Chance. TODO: IRQs are wrong and just stubbed enough to make it do something. Stops after showing first card. IRQ problem or protection? Some suspect reads with checks.DIPs ports are correct but they don't affect the game / never change in the DIP test screen. Fully recover password (checked from 0x1ce6 on. It starts with 19490817 but where are last two digits checked?). - Fast Draw (poker conversion kit): Fixed Fatal error: wrong-sized NVRAM region (ID 09280) - Future Flash/Laser Base: Correct clocks (music pitch and speed) - Geki Makaimura: Dumped CF card - Gradius III: Implemented device_post_load for post-load tasks. Fixed sound routing and cleaned up code. PCB has mono output and only one YM2151 channel is connected (fixes background music balance). Use logmacro.h helpers for optional logging and use BIT helper. - Hang-On: Dumped PLS153 on sound and ROM board - Kick and Run: Dumped and verified PALs for clone Mexico 86 (bootleg of Kick and Run, set 1) - Klax: Documented ROM build date shown in the test menu - Knights of Valour 3 HD: Added SOC38 internal ROMs - Konami: Cleaned up code in various Konami devices and systems. Use explicitly sized integers for things that need to be registered for save states. Use references rather than pointers for output parameters of callbacks. Use standard or abbreviated integer types consistently. Improved some member names and fixed formatting (88games.cpp, ajax.cpp, aliens.cpp, asterix.cpp, bishi.cpp, blockhl.cpp, bottom9.cpp, chqflag.cpp, crimfght.cpp, dbz.cpp, divebomb.cpp, giclassic.cpp, gijoe.cpp, gradius3.cpp, konamigx.cpp/h, konamigx_m.cpp, konamigx_v.cpp, konmedal.cpp, lethal.cpp, mainevt.cpp, moo.cpp, mystwarr.h, mystwarr_v.cpp, overdriv.cpp, parodius.cpp, piratesh.cpp, qdrmfgp.cpp, quickpick5.cpp, rollerg.cpp, rungun.cpp, simpsons.cpp, spy.cpp, surpratk.cpp, tail2nos.cpp, thunderx.cpp, tmnt.cpp, tmnt2.cpp, ultraman.cpp, vendetta.cpp, wecleman.h, wecleman_v.cpp, xexex.cpp, xmen.cpp, zr107.cpp, k051960.cpp/h, k052109.cpp/h, k053244_k053245.cpp/h, k053246_k053247_k055673.cpp/h, k054156_k054157_k056832.cpp/h and k051316.cpp/h). - Many Block: Don't apply Macross tilemap offsets to Many Block - Peek-a-Boo!: Dumped the MCU for Peek-a-Boo!. Note: MCU is not hooked up (it's connected differently to other games). - Pirate Ship: Removed commented code from machine configuration (K053246 is paired with K053247 or K055673, so m_k053246 is redundant). - Savage Quest: Convert to new PCI. Stub HASP dongle in a device (centronics\hasp_savquest.cpp). - Shadow Force: Fixed DIP settings based on manual and World and Japan version use only 3 buttons (ID 05557) (ID 09260). - Super 70's: Redumped romset - Super Poker: Added dip-sw settings for Super Poker (v306US) from manual - Turret Tower: Suppress side effects for debugger reads and fixed sound routing.

VIDEO RENDERING SYSTEM . Polygon rendering: Added dpdy information to extents to be able to compute mipmap lod index per pixel. Fixed portability issues in round_coordinate. Fixes severe graphical glitches in Namco System 22 games on ARM systems (video\poly.h) (ID 09276). . Removed most specialisations of the RGB utilities. Added an ARM NEON bilinear filtering implementation. Increased the intermediate precision of the C++ bilinear filtering implementation. Cleaned up and fully inlined the C++ implementation apart from bilinear filtering. Moved the generic C++ implementation to emu\video\rgbutil.h. Put all bilinear filtering implementations out-of-line in emu\video\rgbutil.cpp. . MEMORY SYSTEM . Fixed debugger's memdump command. Changed memdump to properly report overlapping views (emu\emumem.cpp, emu\emumem_hedr.ipp, emu\emumem_hedw.ipp). . INPUT . Removed the "optional" field flag (emu\ioport.h). There are multiple issues with this flag: It's poorly defined. Is it an input that's software-accessible but not used? Is it an input that shows in test modes but doesn't do anything useful? Is it an input that the system can be configured to not use? Is it an input that is useful but not strictly necessary? In almost a decade, it hasn’t been used widely. It was used in less than ten places. There hasn't been substantial interest in actually applying it across the codebase. It would be an absolute nightmare to try and apply to mahjong and hanafuda games. Consider all the cases where a game may use some but not all of the double-up game controls, and some games support multiple control schemes that use different subsets of the standard mahjong matrix. Trying to apply it to gambling systems would also be a minefield. If we were to expect it to be applied, it would cause an eplosion in input port definitions for platforms with multiple games, adding further maintenance burden. It would greatly reduce the value of having things like the standard mahjong panel definitions as you'd rarely actually be able to use them as-is. . Removed PORT_ROTATED from the core. This automatic joystick remapping feature has not been enabled in any driver for years (emu\inputdev.cpp, emu\ioport.cpp and mame/luaengine_input.cpp). . LUA engine: Allow configuring analog input adjustments from scripts. Export minvalue and maxvalue for IPT_ADJUSTER (mame\luaengine_input.cpp). . 3RDPARTY: Sync AsmJit with upstream version 1.20 from https://github.com/asmjit/asmjit/commit/5134d396bd00c1b63259387acdbb12dfdf009f9b (3rdparty\asmjit). . Prevent automatic attempts at loading or creating loose image files with the same names as extant software list items when they fail to load as such. Only allow command line image creation when file is not found and save startup image name for error reporting before trashing it (emu\image.cpp). . Updated Chinese (Simplified) translations. The revision refers to the Windows 11 Chinese Simplified menu buttons and option titles, many places are still not perfect, modify it again and again! (Chinese_Simplified\strings.po). . Doc: Fixed a typo in the documentation for the default values for the 'comm_localport' and 'comm_remoteport' flags: 15122 -> 15112 (docs\source\commandline\commandline-all.rst). - Debugger . Fixed parsing of unary ! operator in debug expressions (debug\express.cpp) . Added support for generating PDB symbols with MinGW Clang and LLD. Also don't disable sibling/tail call optimisation when symbols are enabled. This is hurting our release builds since they're built with symbols. Note: Set PDB_SYMBOLS to 1 to generate CodeView format symbols in separate PDB files, allowing source-level debugging using Microsoft Visual Studio or WinDbg. It can also be used with other tools that can load symbols from PDB files, e.g. the Intel VTune and AMD µProf performance analysis tools. This option is only supported for MinGW builds using the clang compiler and the LLVM linker (lld). This option only takes effect if the **SYMBOLS** option is set to a non-zero value (makefile, scripts\genie.lua, src\main.lua and scripts\toolchain.lua). .

ARM7: Removed the recompiler that had never been completed (arm7\arm7.cpp) . Dynamic Re-Compiling . drcbec: Improved behaviour for float-to-int conversion. Apply floating point rounding mode to arithmetic (cpu\drcbec.cpp). . drcbex86: i686 has no red zone (cpu\drcbex86.cpp) . drcbex64 . Slightly optimised flag calculation for some variants of the multiply instructions (cpu\drcbex64.cpp). . Fixed some cases where GETFLGS would produce incorrect results when the destination is not a UML register permanently assigned to a host register (cpu\drcbex64.cpp). . drcbearm64 . Added missing source load for optimised ROLINS case. Fixes bad ROLINS results in some cases where the result is in memory. Hopefully fixes Hyperstone E1 systems corrupting SR on absolute jumps (e.g. kdynastg failing to boot) (cpu\drcbearm64.cpp). . Optimised shift and rotate operations. Don't calculate carry flag when not requested. Don't calculate zero and sign flags when only carry is requested. Avoid branches when calculating carry, optimise for non-zero shift. Improved strategy for selecting working registers (cpu\drcbearm64.cpp). . Implemented float-to-int conversion using rounding mode. Also optimised code generation for UML ROL (rotate left) and slightly optimised carry flag calculation for left shift (save one instruction) (cpu\drcbearm64.cpp). . Added NEON vector register assignments to the header comment (cpu\drcbearm64.cpp). . Fixed some cases of 32-bit operations not clearing the upper bits of a UML register (there are still a few remaining). Optimised unordered flag test - only the V bit needs to be tested. Fixed rounding mode dispatch for FTOINT (cpu\drcbearm64.cpp). . Apply floating point rounding mode to arithmetic (cpu\drcbearm64.cpp). . Improved code generation a bit: Avoid unnecessary operand loads for add/subtract operations where both sources are identical. Improved code generation for rotate through carry with immediate shift count and/or immediate zero source (cpu\drcbearm64.cpp). . Improved emulated memory access code. Generate optimised code for reads narrower than native width. Mask returned value to access size - the upper bits may not be cleared (fixes Hyperstone E1 misbehaving on Windows arm64). Don't save emulated flags across CALLC - flags are clobbered anyway (cpu\drcbearm64.cpp). . A few more optimisations: Avoid some unnecessary register copies for the displacement in LOAD/STORE when the scale is 1. Avoid unnecessary register copies for ROLAND when the source is a UML register kept in a host register. Avoid an unnecessary register copy for ROLINS when inserting a left-aligned field (cpu\drcbearm64.cpp). . UML . Added a couple of simplification rules. ADDC's inputs are commutative and TEST with an immediate zero operand effectively ignores the other operand. Got rid of a redundant assignment (cpu\uml.cpp). .

Added some simplification rules for multiply and divide (cpu\uml.cpp). . Fixed potential assertion failure when a degenerate rotate through carry is converted to a move (cpu\uml.cpp). . drcumlsh . Removed helpers for generating the unimplemented JMPH instrcution. Trying to use it would cause a compile error (cpu\drcumlsh.h). . Use "src" rather than "src1" if there's only one source operand (cpu\drcumlsh.h). . Doc . Documented the most common DRC UML integer arithmetic and logical instructions. Documented some UML floating point arithmetic instructions. Also replaced mathematical symbols for Boolean algebra with less desirable C operators as they were upsetting pdflatex (docs\source\techspecs\uml_instructions.rst). . Documented more DRC UML floating point instructions (docs\source\techspecs\uml_instructions.rst). Documented several DRC UML shift/rotate instructions (docs\source\techspecs\uml_instructions.rst). Documented the DRC UML SEXT instruction (docs\source\techspecs\uml_instructions.rst). Documented the DRC UML integer multiplication and division instructions (docs\source\techspecs\uml_instructions.rst). . Documented DRC UML rotate through carry instructions (docs\source\techspecs\uml_instructions.rst). - SOUND . Konami 053260 KDSC: Added TODO about reverse-engineered pan LUT. The pan LUT is mentioned in the reverse-engineered based on work by Furrtek: https://github.com/furrtek/SiliconRE/blob/master/Konami/053260/k053260_schematics.PDF . Sega 315-5313 Megadrive VDP: Acknowledge irqs only if enabled. Fixes regressions with (MESS) chukrck2 & d_titov2. Delay VINT regular triggers. Fixes (MESS) mazinsagj hang regression (video\315_5313.cpp/h, hash\megadriv.xml). . SN76496: m_sega_style_psg was wrong way around. Fixed recent regression with initial period. Fixes megatech.cpp games have a loud noise in one of the sound outputs (ID 09258). Whitespace cleanup. 'ready state' variable was missing from savestates. Initial volume is 0xf on Sega PSG. No need to savestate volume table. Only write ready pin devcb if ready pin changed, no need for in_noise_mode function and added pinout diagram to h file (sound\sn76496.cpp). . Yamaha YMF271 OPX: Update stream before reading status registers and fixed a performance regression (sound\ymf271.cpp). Note: Performance regression was from MAME 0.195 (Allow 4 channel output...). It was clearing the complete mix buffer at each stream_update, instead of only clearing amount of samples, making seibuspi driver boot-up sequence about 2.5 times slower. - DEVICE . Flash ROM: Added SST_39SF020 and fixed sector size for SST_39SF0*0 (machine\intelfsh.cpp) . Floppy/PC Harddisk . Allow images loaded from software lists to be write protected (imagedev\floppy.cpp). Set m_mon to 1 (motor off) in constructor (imagedev\floppy.cpp). Fixes (MESS) mtu130 crashes MAME, if you try to load a software-list item that is missing (ID 09005). Fixes (MESS) LSI m3 crashes when attempt to use missing disk (ID 09255). . Basic fix for pc_chd support in imgtool. Take ownership of stream in pc_chd_image_open. 'imgtool::image::internal_open' passes an rvalue reference to the stream to the 'open' function of the image format module. It expects the 'open' function to take ownership if it keeps a reference to the stream. If 'open' does not do so, the 'stream' is going to be destroyed at the end of 'internal_open'. 'pc_chd_image_open' fails to take ownership, yet it persists a reference to the stream as part of 'info->hard_disk'. This causes an use-after-free condition. Correct determination of total sectors of a FAT volume. The number of total sectors of a FAT volume is stored either in the 16-bit word at offset 19 or, if that word is zero, in the 32-bit word at offset 32 instead. The 32-bit word is not a high word to build a 48-bit value in conjunction with the 16-bit word at offset 19, but it supersedes it (modules\fat.cpp and imgtool\modules\pc_hard.cpp). . Correct recalibrate steps for Intel N82077 FDC. As documented in the datasheet it should be 80 for this FDC (machine\upd765.cpp). Recognize more file types (formats\fs_prodos.cpp). . Added a default implementation for 'supports_save'. Since the default implementation of 'save' is a stub that always fails, it makes sense to also add a default implementation of 'supports_save' that returns 'false'. That way, there's one fewer method that needs to be implemented for read-only image formats. Removed the now-redundant implementations in concrete format classes (formats\flopimg.cpp). . I2C Memory: Fixed (MESS) later Acclaim sport games fails I2C checks during POST (sega\megadriv.cpp) (GitHub #13998) . Intel 8251 USART: Don't do binary math on bool. Removed unneeded calc_parity function (machine\i8251.cpp). . Intel 8256AH Multifunction microprocessor support controller: Added Intel 8256 MUART. Don't do binary math on bool. Removed unneeded calc_parity function. Small cleanup (machine\i8256.cpp). . Konami 001006 Texel Unit: Fixed save state support. Added save state registration and fixed initialization for bilinear flag. Use fixed sized integer for device selection (konami\k001006.cpp). .
