Nouvelle update.<\/p>\n
Source Changes Added pen_mask tile attribute to the tilemap system. Implemented Changed MAKE_RGB macro to set the alpha to 255 instead of 0. Updated Changed Firefox to RGB32 to allow for mid-screen palette changes. Removed render_container_set_palette_alpha() hack. Now the alpha value Minor NSS\/SNES cleanups [Fabio Priuli]<\/p>\n Updated warpwarp.c driver: [stephh] Removed unneeded keys: [stephh] Converted the z80pio implementation into a device. [Wilbert Pol]<\/p>\n Verified watchdog behaviour in schematics for 8080bw.c. [couriersud]<\/p>\n ldverify improvements: [Aaron Giles] Plumbed machine parameters through the renderer. Removed need for Changed render_texture_set_bitmap() to accept a palette object Changed renderer to permit palettes for RGB and YUY textures. If Removed rescale notification. It never really worked that well and Renamed palette_set_brightness() to palette_set_pen_contrast() for Changed palette objects to support global brightness\/contrast\/gamma Simplified core deinterlacing logic based on availability of pre- Converted Z80 CTC to a proper device. Updated all drivers. Added new Changed Z80 daisy chain interface to simply be a list of devices in Changed Z80 PIO interrupt callback to pass a device instead of the merit.c: [couriersud] expro02.c: [DITraI4D0] video\/kaneko16.c [DITraI4D0] Converted Z80 SIO to device. Updated drivers accordingly. Added additional Motorola DSP56k reset behavior. [Andrew Gardner]<\/p>\n Added mechanism to generically specify input port tags in place of DEVICE8_PORT(name) - use this to specify the name of a port to read MACHINE8_PORT(name) - same as DEVICE8_PORT except it can be used IS_HANDLER_PORT(ptr) - accepts a read8_device_func or CALL_DEVICE8_READ(ptr,device,offset) - either calls through the CALL_MACHINE8_READ(ptr,machine,offset) - same as CALL_DEVICE8_READ Note that in order for these to be useful, the consumer of the 8255 PPI interface cleanup: [Aaron Giles] LD-V1000: added some (compile-time removed) information about the Changed 68000 interrupts to only trigger during execution. This Added checks in the debug build to catch people who try to use Fixed edge case bug in the Cube Quest line CPU involving adding with Fixed sbasketb DIP switch reading. [Fabio Priuli]<\/p>\n Continued work on System1 inputs: [Sonikos] Changed the NSS\/SNES loading code to support more cart\/memory layouts New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING status New clones addedMAMETesters Bugs Fixed

\npalette.c to preserve the alpha when transforming palette values.
\nThese changes should be transparent to almost all drivers and
\nrendering (ha-ha), but there may be an occasional instance where a
\ndriver relied on the alpha being 0 in the system palette. This also
\nmeans that the palette_set_color() function preserves any alpha value
\nthat is set. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nBecause of the above change, the hacky alpha manipulation that was
\npreviously required is no longer necessary; the alpha is set directly
\nin the palette entry. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\ncan be set directly in the palette entry and will be respected for
\nlaserdisc overlays. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\n - reworked 'geebee', 'navarone' and 'warpwarp' INPUT_PORTS
\n definitions by using conditional Dip Switches.
\n - added 'geebeeb' INPUT_PORTS definition (this game has specific
\n \"Replay\" settings).<\/p>\n
\n - UI_ON_SCREEN_DISPLAY (there is now a \"Slider Controls\" menu)
\n - UI_ADD_CHEAT, UI_DELETE_CHEAT, UI_SAVE_CHEAT, UI_WATCH_VALUE,
\n UI_EDIT_CHEAT, UI_RELOAD_CHEAT (these keys belonged to the old
\n cheat engine)<\/p>\n
\n - uses back-end decoding for CHDs directly to bitmaps
\n - changed min\/max detection to only check 0\/255
\n - fixed off-by-one bug in min\/max computation
\n - separated white code detection from frame number detection
\n - track cadence with frame numbers as well as white codes
\n - use vbiparse.h constants where appropriate<\/p>\n
\ndeprecat.h. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\ninstead of a palette index. The renderer remains optimized for the
\nsystem palette but will work if objects have their own palette as
\nwell. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nspecified, these palettes specify a 32-entry (RGB15) or 256-entry
\n(others) lookup for applying additional brightness\/contrast\/gamma
\non a per-texture basis. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nviolated proper layering. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nclarity. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nin addition to per-group and per-entry controls. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\ndecoded VBI data. Added plumbing for allowing for overall brightness\/
\ncontrast\/gamma corrections on laserdisc video. Fixed bug when
\ncombining brightness values in the palette logic. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nitem to the interface which is the tag of a CPU to take the base clock
\nfrom. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nthe chain. Interrupt callback functions are now fetched via the
\nstandard device interface and referenced by the daisy chain code.
\n[Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nmachine. All device callbacks should provide the device. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\n * Implemented palette & colour decoding from crt 200 schematics.
\n * Hooked up 6845
\n * Hooked up lscnblk line
\n * Fixed Phraze Craze gfx rom ordering
\n * Clocks from schematics
\n * Ram palette moved to static var. This should not be in RAM.
\n * Added save state support<\/p>\n
\n - fixed DIPSW
\n - added graphics decode routine (probably it can be simpler)<\/p>\n
\n - tilemap scroll position is different for expro02, so added new
\n function (is it better to fix current one?)<\/p>\n
\n[Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nmachine\/device handlers. Unfortunately, the implementation relies on
\nsentinel values to distinguish a port tag versus a pointer to function
\ncode. However, since this is a very common situation, it will
\nhopefully be worth the slight grossness. New macros are defined in
\ninptport.h:<\/p>\n
\n wherever a read8_device_func would normally be used<\/p>\n
\n wherever a read8_machine_func would normally be used<\/p>\n
\n read8_machine_func and determines if it is an actual function or
\n a reference to a port; intended for use by devices that accept
\n DEVICE8_PORT-style functions<\/p>\n
\n given read8_device_func, or calls input_port_read with the
\n appropriate tag, depending on the result of IS_HANDLER_PORT;
\n intended for use by devices that accept DEVICE8_PORT-style
\n functions<\/p>\n
\n except for read8_machine_func<\/p>\n
\nfunction pointer must be enhanced to use the CALL_* macros above
\ninstead of directly calling through the function. So far, only the
\n8255 PPI is set up to do this, as part of the cleanup below. Also
\nnote that the sentinel value is currently 4 consecutive 0 bytes; this
\nmay need to change in the future, in either length or value, so it is
\nimportant to stick to the macros above. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\n - added MDRV_PPI8255_ADD, MDRV_PPI8255_RECONFIG and
\n MDRV_PPI8255_REMOVE macros; updated all drivers to use them
\n - changed callbacks to device read\/write handlers intead of
\n machine read\/write handlers; updated all drivers accordingly
\n - normalized function and variable names to be lower_under
\n - removed a number of redundant interfaces from the galaxian\/
\n scamble line of games<\/p>\n
\nROM and memory map [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nmeans that multiple changes without any execution will be seen as
\natomic. It also means that PULSE_LINE no longer works for signalling
\nIRQs. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\nPULSE_LINE for non-NMI and non-RESET input lines on CPUs that no
\nlonger support direct interrupt generation. Over time expect this
\nlist to increase. [Aaron Giles]<\/p>\n
\ncarry. [Matt Ownby]<\/p>\n
\n - Added dips location in all game
\n - Moved in generic Cabinet dip for eliminate the redundancy
\n - Better implementation of generic input<\/p>\n
\nand generally be more in line with the MESS way of handling SNES
\ncartridges. [Fabio Priuli]<\/p>\n
