Polygonet Commanders now Added proper laserdisc support for MACH 3, Us vs. Them, and Cobra Other Gottlieb cleanups: [Aaron Giles] Other laserdisc changes: [Aaron Giles] Set the initial 8253 timer output to 2 to indicate that it is Removed obsolete makemeta tool. Replaced it with new ldverify Added new option to chdman, where if you use -createav with Moved error strings from chdman.c to chd.c, where they can be Updated vbiparse to improve Manchester code decoding. It now Added frame number display to laserdsc.c. It is off by Discrete sound core optimizations: [couriersud] Forced synchronization (stream_update()) before the YM2151 status is Added Discrete Sound to Fantasy, Nibbler and Pioneer Balloon. Fixed I\/O watchpoints. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n Changes to the cheat.xml format: [Aaron Giles] Added new variable 'frame' accessible from cheat scripts. This Added new variable 'argindex' which is the index when processing Reinstated the cheat menu. It now displays all loaded cheats and Continued the cleanup of inputs in drivers starting with C (the Added tags to EVERY input port in drivers starting with F->Z. Removed PORT_START macro.

\nnow calculated when a discrete_sound_w() is called instead of each

\nthe VBI data directly, rather than relying on the textual metadata.
\nExpanded video frame cache to 3. Changed the way frames are assembled

\nvia CPU tag instead of index. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nInstead, they are identified by the region they were loaded in. This
\ngenerally means one disk per region. get_disk_handle() now takes a
\nregion name in place of an index. Updated all callers to do this.
\nThe SCSI modules in particular posed a challenge to make this work,
\nso watch out for potential bugs there. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nsame tag as the device for its master disk (assuming no slave). Added

\nThe code now talks to the standard Pioneer PR-8210 interface. Also
\nremoved hacky \"target list\" from the MACH 3 ROMs; this information

\n[Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n

\na special filename (either 2:2 or 3:2) it will create a fake
\nlaserdisc files with the equivalent cadence. This can be used
\nfor testing until full captures are available. Most games used
\n2:2 apart from Dragon's Lair and Space Ace, which were 3:2.
\nNote that even though these files are essentially blank, they
\nare Huffman-compressed, meaning that the maximum compression
\nratio you will get is 8:1, so they still end up ~5GB. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nfetched from any caller via the new chd_error_string()

\nassigns a confidence level per bit based on how solid the

\nthe white flag and all three lines of metadata from a
\nlaserdisc frame. It then compares line 17 and 18 against each
\nother and selects the most likely candidate based on per-bit
\nconfidence and other factors. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n

\nRemoved the current hacky handling of f1gpstar coinage dips to use
\nconditional ports instead. In order to do this, the possible
