Source Changes

--------------

-i386: xlat implementation fix [Alegend45]

-Fixed a sign bug with CVT.WS opcode in v810 CPU core [Angelo Salese]

-Updated netlist implementation: [Couriersud]

* Now supports any resolution fitting reasonably into a UINT64

* Execution now uses a list sorted by execution time

* Implementation now supports analog and digital inputs / outputs

* First step in a move to "terminals" being both input / output

* Improved object model

Pong:

* Rewrote video code, now emulates a monitor by analyzing the analog video signal and identifying vsync and hysnc pulses.

* Removed all hacks.

Overall performance increase of about 10% over the previous "pongf" implementation.

-patch that enables output of elements stored in software lists through -listsoftware [qmc2]

-Flicker: Boots up, some buttons working. WIP [Robbbert]

-Continuing new device implementation for SN76496 and clones - mrdo.c, pachifev.c, tp84.c [Osso]

-Flicker: added remaining inputs, some notes, sound (of sorts), marked as working. [Robbbert]

-Implemented remaining BSU opcodes in V810 CPU core [Angelo Salese]

-Created new sprite device base class, which manages a bitmap and a sparse bitmap for tracking which areas got updated. This allows sprites to be rendered independently to their own bitmap and then mixed in a final step. Converted the Sega sprite device over to this new model, and moved the mixing steps out of the sprite implementations and into the driver- specific video updates where it belongs. [Aaron Giles]

-Added some further methods and helpers to the bitmap_t and rectangle classes. [Aaron Giles]

-Created a sega_16bit_common_base class which handles the common Sega palette RAM mappings and open bus reads. [Aaron Giles]

-nwk-tr.c: Improved LAN controller emulation [Ville Linde]

-segaorun.c: Identified the Turbo Outrun "FD1094 317-unknown" set as 317-0106 and provided a working decryption key. [Chris Hardy]

-Verified Dip Settings using Dip Sheet and through playtesting for deadconx, deadconxj [Tafoid]

-PowerPC: Fixed 601-type BAT processing [R. Belmont]

-taito_x.c: Corrected the rom names for the Superman sets. Added info about an alternate rom layout using a daughter card and half sized mask roms. Changed Gigandes (Japan) to Gigandes (earlier) as both sets support English / Japanese via dipswitch. But one set has a revised and corrected service mode. [Brian Troha, Dave France, The Dumping Union]

-Improved SPC700 cycle opcode timings [Angelo Salese, byuu]

-Fixed a major bug with 5A22 timings, that was incorrectly taking extra steals at every read, write and rmw types of opcode [Angelo Salese]

-Moved multiplication and division operation from SNES to 5A22 CPU core file [Angelo Salese]

-Updated looping.c to use the new tms52xx device implementation. [Osso]

-Made core able to use bios selection per slot device [Miodrag Milanovic]

-made S1410 device act as a SCSIHD with the custom commands, added D9060HD & ACB4070 devices to do the same thing [smf]

-Numerous jedutil tool improvements. [Kevin Eshbach]

Made some modifications to the jedutil tool to allow the viewing of simple combinatorial jeds (adding support for registered and gals in the future) by taking a jed file and printing out human-readable equations. Changed the command line options of the jedutil tool to know take an initial argument to specify what the tool should do.

For example to convert a jed to bin the command is now: jedutil –convert jedutil –convert

To view a jed file with human-readable equations the command is jedutil –view

-gfx_element is now a class. Accessors are provided for all necessary elements. Updated some of the more, ah, creative uses/abuses of the gfx_elements. [Aaron Giles]

-Split out callbacks from scsibus_device into scscb_device, eventually this will be a SCSI device. SCSIBus_interface is no longer required and has been removed. [smf]

-DRC: Give C backend x86/x64 shift=0 behavior for consistency [R. Belmont]

-PowerPC: 100% pass of integer portion of PPCTorture on all DRC backends. [R. Belmont]

-es5503: Preserve phase when oscillators loop [R. Belmont]

-nwk-tr.c: Fixed LAN controller issues in Thrill Drive. [Ville Linde]

-xforce: fixed display [Robbbert]

-Promoted brickzn to playable state [Luca Elia]

* Fixed gfx ROMs loading

* Fixed inputs in joystick version

* Alternate data decryption

* Fixed alternate opcode decryption ranges

* Palette encryption, banking and writes disable

* Work RAM disable

* Multiplexing of registers through protection

* Added cheat / debugging inputs

-Understood how the Seibu COP collision detection really works, greatly improving Godzilla, Heated Barrel and SD Gundam RT gameplay [Angelo Salese, Smitdogg]

-Generalized the PLS100 into a PLA device of variable amounts of inputs/outputs/terms. [Curt Coder]

-In device_state_interface, rename state() to state_int() and set_state() to set_state_int() for consistency. Update all callers. Also add set_pc() helper and updated all callers to use that instead of set_state_int(STATE_GENPC) [Aaron Giles]

-Added device_t::state() method to get the state interface. Added redundant device_state_interface::state() method to catch redundant use of it. [Aaron Giles]

-segac2.c: Corrected the rom names for ThunderForce AC. [Arzeno Fabrice]

-Removed cpu_get_reg() and cpu_set_reg() macros in favor of using the above methods. [Aaron Giles]

-Add ambiguous execute() and memory() methods to the device_execute/memory_interfaces respectively in order to catch unnecessary usage of the corresponding device_t methods. Removed all existing redundant usage. [Aaron Giles]

-merit.c: Added dipswitches to the Pit Boss sets with dipswitch locations. Reordered sets from oldest to newest. Added GAME_NO_COCKTAIL flag as these games support a cocktail mode. Mapped player 2 controls for cocktail mode. [Brian Troha]

-Closeout on old macros. Retired cputag_set_input_line and cputag_set_input_line_and_vector, replacing them with machine.device("tag")->execute().set_input_line[_and_vector]. [Aaron Giles]

-meritm.c: Various rom name corrections and additional minor documentation. [Brian Troha]

-meritm.c: Added PCB layout and pinout for the Merit CRT-250 PCB. [Brian Troha]

-Made accurate trigonometry maths in Seibu COP [Angelo Salese, Smitdogg]

-Rewrote the SAA5050 Teletext character generator. Removed saa505x.c which was used by bbc.c, and refactored all drivers to use the new implementation. [Curt Coder]

-idetrl.c - Support IDE command 0x31 (IDE_COMMAND_WRITE_MULTIPLE_NORETRY) [Phil Bennett]

-splash.c: Changed the Machine Config to use actual OSC values and measured clocks as listed in the driver. Added a note about a Splash! PCB with alternate (higher) OSC clocks. Added a note about The Return of Lady Frog 9 rom and the 1 bit difference between the two sets. [Brian Troha]

-Fixes so MESS on PowerPC OS X builds and works again. MAME is still a lost cause. [R. Belmont]

-Updated DOCS config.txt and windows.txt with recent commands that were never added to documentation as well as some clarifications. [Tafoid]
