General Source Changes

Big 80s Namco Update [Nicola Salmoria]

this affects the first Namco games that used custom I/O chips.
– these files are no longer needed and should be removed: drivers/bosco.c,
drivers/xevious.c, drivers/digdug.c, machine/digdug.c, machine/galaga.c,
machine/bosco.c, machine/polepos.c, sndhrdw/bosco.c
– added three new sound chips: NAMCO_15XX, NAMCO_52XX, NAMCO_54XX, and
changed drivers to use them (NAMCO_54XX is just a placeholder playing
samples, until the chip is reverse engineered).
– MAME testers bugs fixed: digdug063gre, galaga057gre, bosco071u2gre,
poleposc059gra
– added EAROM support to digdug
– fixed the polepos2 title screen which had been broken since day 1, strange
that nobody noticed.
– fixed various mistakes in the polepos ROM loading (one missing speech ROM
in polepos, polepos2 was using the wrong engine sound ROMs (it’s turbo!),
added missing vertical scaling PROMs).
– extensive documentation of ROM names and placement, and differences
between Namco and licensed versions.
– converted all drivers to tilemaps, and made gfx emulation more accurate
according to schematics
– polepos sprite zooming should now be closer to the hardware.
– IP_KEY_PREVIOUS and IP_JOY_PREVIOUS are no longer used by any driver: they
may be removed from the core.
– support for start lamps, coin counters and coin lockout (all internallyhandled by the custom I/O chip)
– toggling the test switch while the game is running enters test mode without need to manually reset.
– found and documented test mode Easter eggs in all games except Xevious.
– bosconian now uses a different sound PROM, which seems more correct.
– galaga uses better dumps of the PROMs, with the unused top 4 bits set to 0.
– correct handling of 52XX sample start/end pointers in ROM.
– better emulation of 50XX custom, no more need for hacks in bosconian.
– swapped digdug and digdugb, the main set should be the newer one.
– removed these galaga clones: nebulbee (copyright/name change), galagab2 (mix ‘n match of ROMs from other sets), galaga84 (copyright/gfx change), galagads (1-byte hack to get fast shoot, reproducible with this line in cheat.dat: galaga:1:070D:0D:100:Fast Shoot)
– added Galaga rev. B, which is now the main set, renamed the other galagao.
– added galagamk, a different Midway version.
– removed various bad dumps from polepos2b and poleps2c, they turned out to be the same version so poleps2c is removed.
– drivers/locomotn.c is no longer needed and should be removed
– converted to tilemaps, consolidated as much as I could
– fixed: jungler37b3gre
– correct tile/sprite priority handling (also in Bosconian)
– documented the Easter egg in Rally X
– added starfield in Tactician
– fixed the RC filter control in the games with Konami sound

Big Namco NB1 update [Phil Stroffolino]
Various improvements for System NB emulation, including:
– new driver: Greatest Slugger ’93 (Japan)
– hardware shadow support (used heavily in Greatest Slugger)
– dedicated random number generator chip
– sprite stretch glitch (affects Outfoxies intro)
– tilemap tile banking feature (used by Mach Breakers)
– removed several game-specific hacks; now uses dedicated CPU registers for interrupts
– preliminary support for screen blanking (hides garbage in Outfoxies)
– proper POSIRQ handling, for scanline effects. Fixes the water effects in Outfoxies. This same feature needs to be folded into System 2 emulation, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
– various Mach Breaker-specific hacks for interpretting the ROZ layer registers; these aren’t yet fully understood. In particular, the « Monster Pull » stage is missing a « 3d floor. »
