MAME 0.131 is released. MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late 1970s through the modern era.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The CHD format has undergone a change with this
release. The main reason for this change is to include some of the
key metadata into the hashes for the CHDs. This ensures that the
metadata is valid and prevents abuse.
The first impact you will find is that all of your CHD differencing
files are invalid. Just delete your "diff" directory contents
entirely.
The second impact is that all your existing CHDs will warn you that
they have incorrect hashes. This is expected. Your old CHDs should
still work fine, so if you can live with the "bad ROM" warnings, you
don't really need to do anything. However, if this bugs you or you
want to be "clean", you can update your CHDs, using this command
line:
chdman -update
for each one of your CHDs. This will take a while, but will produce
CHDs that match the new checksums posted in the drivers.

Changed generic NVRAM behavior so that all the variants look for a
memory region named "nvram". If it is found and is of the same length
as the generic_nvram_size, data is copied from there instead of
filling the RAM with the fallback pattern. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed mouse/lightgun buttons to individually select when using
-mouse/-multimouse and -lightgun. Meaning you will not receive Mouse

Source Changes
--------------
Documented the www.segaresurrection.com decrypted Ninja Kids II sound
rom so it doesn't show up as newly "found" bootleg version.
[Brian Troha]
Converted downtown, gondo, hbarrel, midres, timesold, topgunbl to use
IPT_POSITIONAL. [Derrick Renaud]
Fixed Analog Settings to return to default when IPT_UI_SELECT (enter)
pressed. Fixed misplaced brackets, allowing upper/lower case
extensions for crosshair graphics and ldplayer chd files.
[Derrick Renaud]
Naomi updates: [Angelo Salese, David Haywood]
* Added H-Blank IN interrupt hook-up
* Generate a few more interrupts (ISP end of render, VIDEO end of
render)

Memory map merging for naughtyb.c, ssrj.c. [Angelo Salese]
Converted jangou & nightgal drivers to use resistors with the color
proms. [Angelo Salese]
Reverted to older behavior for how modified input port fields are
handled. The originally intended behavior is that a new field that
intersected a previous field would completely wipe out the original
field. Recently a change was made that changed the behavior to only
remove a portion of the bits from the original field. This is actually
problematic behavior, so the original behavior was restored.
[Aaron Giles]
Fixed auto-center bug on analog joysticks. [Derrick Renaud]
Fixed UI when modifying the inc/dec/analog fields of an analog control
in sequence. [Derrick Renaud]
Corrected System 1 Z80 clocking: [Aaron Giles]
* each opcode fetch is 2 cycles with /M1 low, so each byte of
opcode fetching causes slightly longer delays than the previous
tables
* implemented approximate wait state timing for videoram access;
further accuracy will rely on getting a dump of the PAL16R4
that controls the horizontal video timing
Merged memory maps in taito_l.c, taito_x.c, taito_b.c, taito_f2.c,
taito_f3.c, surpratk.c, system16.c, system18.c. Also removed some word
handlers in favor of using READ8/WRITE8 directly in address maps.
Removed some additional unnecessary handlers in favor of using
AM_READ_PORT. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the PPU2C0x implementation to be a device. [Nathan Woods]
Simplified the gun port handling in the Sammy Outdoor Shooting games.
[Derrick Renaud]
Small System 1 update: [Aaron Giles]
* correct video timing
* removed "small" video drivers for games that properly mask the
scrolling areas
Correct sound ROM for T-Mek 4.4 [Lars Bull]
Partial fix to bug MT 3070 (harddriv & racedriv do not show anymore
P2 inputs for analog controls). Still thinking about steeltal.

Added device-based implementations of the eeprom and i2c deevices.
[Samuele Zannoli]

to me). [Fabio Priuli]
Dumped 1 BPROM of suchipi [Uki]

Technologies used for the Golden Tee 3D series (3D through Classic),
Shuffleshot, World Class Bowling and World Class Bowling Deluxe.
[Guru]
Added PCB layout & hardwared documentation for Atari's Badlands [Guru]
WIP driver for Cubo CD32 [Mariusz Wojcieszek]:

makefile. [Wilbert Pol]
TMS320C25 fixes and enhancements: [Olivier Galibert]
- accept IRQs on IDLE

Gameplan improvements: [Tafoid]
- verified and simplified the DIPs, adding locations
- adjusted clocks in Leprechaun and Pirate Treasure based on info
from the manual
Implemented model2 inputs through direct AM_READ_PORT access rather
than using read handlers. The patch also fixes daytona brakes (which
were previously labeled with the wrong tag). [Fabio Priuli]
Simplified input handling in Taito F3 games. [Fabio Priuli]
Various PGM fixes and improvements [XingXing]
Fixed rdft2j2 set, it was using rdft roms instead of the rdft2 ones.
[David Haywood]
Additional PGM improvements: [David Haywood]
- Added emulation of the earlier type of ARM (ASIC27A, 5585E type)
Used this for protection emulation on Photo Y2k, Knights of
Valour Superheroes instead of old simulation code
- Disabled protection simulation for several sets. This demotes
Knights of Valour / Knights of Valour Plus to NOT working as there
is no dump of the internal rom.
- Photo Y2k still works because it's using the emulation added above,
but You can no longer change region as this is supplied by the
ASIC27A device which is now emulated. This is correct.
- Added several new sets, several of which are re-releases of the
games using the ASIC 27A instead of the previous protection
devices. (oldss, killbldp)
- Removed per-game speedup hacks, as they're no longer needed for the
ARM based games to boot correctly.
Fixed core_strwildcmp by increasing the limit from 8 to 16 characters.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The CHD format has undergone a change with this
release. The main reason for this change is to include some of the
key metadata into the hashes for the CHDs. This ensures that the
metadata is valid and prevents abuse.
The first impact you will find is that all of your CHD differencing
files are invalid. Just delete your "diff" directory contents
entirely.
The second impact is that all your existing CHDs will warn you that
they have incorrect hashes. This is expected. Your old CHDs should
still work fine, so if you can live with the "bad ROM" warnings, you
don't really need to do anything. However, if this bugs you or you
want to be "clean", you can update your CHDs, using this command
line:
chdman -update
for each one of your CHDs. This will take a while, but will produce
CHDs that match the new checksums posted in the drivers.

- added kov2p205, martmasc romset
- fixed some descriptions
- experimental video change with a view to fix priorities on kov2
Modified cdrom.c to expose metadata read/write functions, and changed
chdman to use them. Also changed chdman to parse old-style metadata
and convert it to new-style metadata. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed regressed sound in the deco MLC driver. [Angelo Salese]
Preliminary protection simulation in olds100a [XingXing]
Added an older Japanese neogeo bios [Corrado Tomaselli]

Added new function core_fload() to load a file into an allocated
buffer. Updated src2html, regrep, and chdman tools to use this
function where appropriate. [Aaron Giles]
Fix f1gpstr2 sound regression [Phil Bennett]
Added default nvrams to sfbonus.c using rom_load_optional. This should
save some time renaming and reparenting these in the future.
[David Haywood]
Minor video/psx.c changes that were needed for raycrisis.
[David Haywood]
Fixed Heavy Unit main CPU bankswitch. This fixes the enemy appearing
in attract mode. [Mamesick]
Added text tilemap flickering to pzletime. It allows to see the
selected options. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Changed the CPU cores to use the get_safe_token() pattern like other
devices. [Aaron Giles]
System16 update [kanikani]
- Enabled some buttons previously marked as 'unused'.
Manuals say 'No Connection', but programs read them and do
something. i.e. button2 in Tetris: can rotate the piece
More Counter Steer progress. [Angelo Salese]
Added PCB layout for Jumping Break and additional information.
Corrected the sound clocks on PCBs that only have a 28MHz OSC. Only
Super Lup Lup Puzzle has the 14.318180MHz OSC. Rearranged the rom
def section to group the F-E1-16-0xx PCB based games in order.
[Brian Troha]
troangel: better support of line scroll with wrap. The scroll offsets
are split in LOW byte and HIGH byte. [robiza]
Add specific support for NEC VR4300/4310 CPUs. [R. Belmont]
Fixed paletteram in Super Crowns Golf. Hooked up text background.
[Angelo Salese]
Updated CHD hashes. [Yasuhiro Ogawa, Aaron Giles, David Haywood]

resistor values for AY-3-8910
MIPS III: Update RA before executing the delay slot. [R. Belmont]
Added inputs for galaxia and astrowar. Galaxia is semi-playable.
Note: After inserting a coin, it can take a few seconds to respond.
[Robbbert]
Fixed build of ldplayer on OS X. Since the CUSTOM sound module no
longer exists, I arbitrarily changed it to WAVE, as ar gets upset if
it has no input files. I also removed the -all_load flag for ldplayer
from the main makefile as it upsets the linker on OS X. [Vas Crabb]
Fix build for PPC64 Linux. (This slightly messes up static branch
prediction hints on OS X and AIX, but OS X for PPC64 is dead, and
no-one builds MAME for AIX, and it will still build, anyway.)
[Vas Crabb]
Paramaterise the arguments to check for NULL in the ATTR_NONNULL macro
rather than just checking the first argument. This requires compiler
support for C99 variadic macros (MSVC2005 and GCC4 have this AFAIK).
[Vas Crabb]
Z80PIO: When outputting from a port to the hardware in pio mode 3,
only those bits defined by the mask should be output. Mame currently
outputs everything. [Robbbert]
Changed the One-Shot List or Selectable value cheats to display "Set"
instead of "Off". Also stopped the cheat options being activated in
order when you are going through the possibilities in this case.
These cheats are now activated by pressing ENTER after you have
chosen an option. [Pugsy]

IMPORTANT NOTE: The CHD format has undergone a change with this
release. The main reason for this change is to include some of the
key metadata into the hashes for the CHDs. This ensures that the
metadata is valid and prevents abuse.
The first impact you will find is that all of your CHD differencing
files are invalid. Just delete your "diff" directory contents
entirely.
The second impact is that all your existing CHDs will warn you that
they have incorrect hashes. This is expected. Your old CHDs should
still work fine, so if you can live with the "bad ROM" warnings, you
don't really need to do anything. However, if this bugs you or you
want to be "clean", you can update your CHDs, using this command
line:
chdman -update
for each one of your CHDs. This will take a while, but will produce
CHDs that match the new checksums posted in the drivers.

Changed generic NVRAM behavior so that all the variants look for a
memory region named "nvram". If it is found and is of the same length
as the generic_nvram_size, data is copied from there instead of
filling the RAM with the fallback pattern. [Aaron Giles]
Fixed mouse/lightgun buttons to individually select when using
-mouse/-multimouse and -lightgun. Meaning you will not receive Mouse
Button 0 Gun Button 0 when selecting in the UI. [Derrick Renaud]

Source Changes
--------------
Documented the www.segaresurrection.com decrypted Ninja Kids II sound
rom so it doesn't show up as newly "found" bootleg version.
[Brian Troha]
Converted downtown, gondo, hbarrel, midres, timesold, topgunbl to use
IPT_POSITIONAL. [Derrick Renaud]
Fixed Analog Settings to return to default when IPT_UI_SELECT (enter)
pressed. Fixed misplaced brackets, allowing upper/lower case
extensions for crosshair graphics and ldplayer chd files.
[Derrick Renaud]
Naomi updates: [Angelo Salese, David Haywood]
* Added H-Blank IN interrupt hook-up
* Generate a few more interrupts (ISP end of render, VIDEO end of
render)

view in the debugger. [Aaron Giles]
munch mobile improvements: [robiza]
* implemented priorities
* removed unnecessary tile index check
Memory map merging for naughtyb.c, ssrj.c. [Angelo Salese]
Converted jangou & nightgal drivers to use resistors with the color
proms. [Angelo Salese]
Reverted to older behavior for how modified input port fields are
handled. The originally intended behavior is that a new field that
intersected a previous field would completely wipe out the original
field. Recently a change was made that changed the behavior to only
remove a portion of the bits from the original field. This is actually
problematic behavior, so the original behavior was restored.
[Aaron Giles]
Fixed auto-center bug on analog joysticks. [Derrick Renaud]
Fixed UI when modifying the inc/dec/analog fields of an analog control
in sequence. [Derrick Renaud]
Corrected System 1 Z80 clocking: [Aaron Giles]
* each opcode fetch is 2 cycles with /M1 low, so each byte of
opcode fetching causes slightly longer delays than the previous
tables
* implemented approximate wait state timing for videoram access;
further accuracy will rely on getting a dump of the PAL16R4
that controls the horizontal video timing
Merged memory maps in taito_l.c, taito_x.c, taito_b.c, taito_f2.c,
taito_f3.c, surpratk.c, system16.c, system18.c. Also removed some word
handlers in favor of using READ8/WRITE8 directly in address maps.
Removed some additional unnecessary handlers in favor of using
AM_READ_PORT. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the PPU2C0x implementation to be a device. [Nathan Woods]
Simplified the gun port handling in the Sammy Outdoor Shooting games.
[Derrick Renaud]
Small System 1 update: [Aaron Giles]
* correct video timing
* removed "small" video drivers for games that properly mask the
scrolling areas
Correct sound ROM for T-Mek 4.4 [Lars Bull]
Partial fix to bug MT 3070 (harddriv & racedriv do not show anymore
P2 inputs for analog controls). Still thinking about steeltal.

[David Haywood]
Build the IDE features table only when there is a CHD available.
[Curt Coder]
Added device-based implementations of the eeprom and i2c deevices.
[Samuele Zannoli]
Added diplocations to finalizr.c, gradius3.c, pandoras.c, rollerg.c
and ultraman.c based on Guru's notes (thanks to AJG, who fwded them
to me). [Fabio Priuli]
Dumped 1 BPROM of suchipi [Uki]
Changed Z80 cycle table definitions to be per-device. Removed
old set_info constants for the tables; they are now set up via

Many Naomi tweaks and improvements, plus a number of new sets added
but with no credit specified. [David Haywood]
Corrected names for Champion Italian PK boards (thank f205v for
spotting this). [Mirko Buffoni]

Technologies used for the Golden Tee 3D series (3D through Classic),
Shuffleshot, World Class Bowling and World Class Bowling Deluxe.
[Guru]
Added PCB layout & hardwared documentation for Atari's Badlands [Guru]
WIP driver for Cubo CD32 [Mariusz Wojcieszek]:
- AGA palette
- AGA bitplane data fetching
- support for up to 8 standard bitplanes
- HAM8 mode
Further annotated the game lists is mamedriv.c. [Yasuhiro Ogawa]
Fixed pending IRQs handling in the TLCS-90 CPU core [Luca Elia]
Updated video timing in bestbest to match PCB [Guru]
ejsakura fix: added ymz280b_r to memory map to prevent musics to stop
while playing [Cs9ph7Rg0]
nemesis.c fix [Hau]
- Fixed screen priority problems in Kitten Kaboodle.
- Added flip screen & cocktail support.
- Merged memory maps in hyprduel.c
CPU cores are now enabled on a per cpu core family basis instead of
per cpu core variant. As a result CPUDEFS is no longer needed in the
makefile. [Wilbert Pol]
TMS320C25 fixes and enhancements: [Olivier Galibert]
- accept IRQs on IDLE
- actually count irq processing and instruction fetching cycles
- add support for external serial frame sync with internal
triggering (aka TXM=1 and FSM=1).
Updated G-Net CHDs (reset to factory default settings and clear
high-score table) [Guru]
Added description of G-Net card/PCB [Guru]
Fixed crash due to recent cheat engine changes. [Pugsy]
Fixed the sprite collision code of the mcu simulation in
'machine\mexico86.c'. [Aladar]
Improved sound banking in galpani2 driver. [Luis Faria]
Gameplan improvements: [Tafoid]
- verified and simplified the DIPs, adding locations
- adjusted clocks in Leprechaun and Pirate Treasure based on info
from the manual
Implemented model2 inputs through direct AM_READ_PORT access rather
than using read handlers. The patch also fixes daytona brakes (which
were previously labeled with the wrong tag). [Fabio Priuli]
Simplified input handling in Taito F3 games. [Fabio Priuli]
Various PGM fixes and improvements [XingXing]
Fixed rdft2j2 set, it was using rdft roms instead of the rdft2 ones.
[David Haywood]
Additional PGM improvements: [David Haywood]
- Added emulation of the earlier type of ARM (ASIC27A, 5585E type)
Used this for protection emulation on Photo Y2k, Knights of
Valour Superheroes instead of old simulation code
- Disabled protection simulation for several sets. This demotes
Knights of Valour / Knights of Valour Plus to NOT working as there
is no dump of the internal rom.
- Photo Y2k still works because it's using the emulation added above,
but You can no longer change region as this is supplied by the
ASIC27A device which is now emulated. This is correct.
- Added several new sets, several of which are re-releases of the
games using the ASIC 27A instead of the previous protection
devices. (oldss, killbldp)
- Removed per-game speedup hacks, as they're no longer needed for the
ARM based games to boot correctly.
Fixed core_strwildcmp by increasing the limit from 8 to 16 characters.
[smf]
Verified and simplified munchmo DIPs, and added locations. Also fixed
clock speeds and AY-8910 clock to match recordings. [Tafoid]
Verified DIPs and added locations for Road Fighter. Adjusted defaults
to match the manual. [Tafoid]
In bublbobl, emulated CPU1 (slave) <-> AUDIOCPU communications and
AUDIOCPU reset at startup, previously this was disabled. [Mamesick]
Added samples emulation to Rough Ranger (V2.0), write ports A & B of
YM2203 are used. [Mamesick]
Added game-specific kludge to get music in SD Gundam Psycho Salamander.
[Mamesick]

IMPORTANT NOTE: The CHD format has undergone a change with this
release. The main reason for this change is to include some of the
key metadata into the hashes for the CHDs. This ensures that the
metadata is valid and prevents abuse.
The first impact you will find is that all of your CHD differencing
files are invalid. Just delete your "diff" directory contents
entirely.
The second impact is that all your existing CHDs will warn you that
they have incorrect hashes. This is expected. Your old CHDs should
still work fine, so if you can live with the "bad ROM" warnings, you
don't really need to do anything. However, if this bugs you or you
want to be "clean", you can update your CHDs, using this command
line:
chdman -update
for each one of your CHDs. This will take a while, but will produce
CHDs that match the new checksums posted in the drivers.

Fixed regressed sound in the deco MLC driver. [Angelo Salese]
Preliminary protection simulation in olds100a [XingXing]

buffer. Updated src2html, regrep, and chdman tools to use this
function where appropriate. [Aaron Giles]
Fix f1gpstr2 sound regression [Phil Bennett]
Added default nvrams to sfbonus.c using rom_load_optional. This should
save some time renaming and reparenting these in the future.

Minor video/psx.c changes that were needed for raycrisis.
[David Haywood]
Fixed Heavy Unit main CPU bankswitch. This fixes the enemy appearing
in attract mode. [Mamesick]

Manuals say 'No Connection', but programs read them and do
something. i.e. button2 in Tetris: can rotate the piece
More Counter Steer progress. [Angelo Salese]
Added PCB layout for Jumping Break and additional information.
Corrected the sound clocks on PCBs that only have a 28MHz OSC. Only
Super Lup Lup Puzzle has the 14.318180MHz OSC. Rearranged the rom
def section to group the F-E1-16-0xx PCB based games in order.
[Brian Troha]
troangel: better support of line scroll with wrap. The scroll offsets
are split in LOW byte and HIGH byte. [robiza]
Add specific support for NEC VR4300/4310 CPUs. [R. Belmont]
Fixed paletteram in Super Crowns Golf. Hooked up text background.

resistor values for AY-3-8910
MIPS III: Update RA before executing the delay slot. [R. Belmont]
Added inputs for galaxia and astrowar. Galaxia is semi-playable.
Note: After inserting a coin, it can take a few seconds to respond.
[Robbbert]
Fixed build of ldplayer on OS X. Since the CUSTOM sound module no
longer exists, I arbitrarily changed it to WAVE, as ar gets upset if
it has no input files. I also removed the -all_load flag for ldplayer
from the main makefile as it upsets the linker on OS X. [Vas Crabb]
Fix build for PPC64 Linux. (This slightly messes up static branch
prediction hints on OS X and AIX, but OS X for PPC64 is dead, and
no-one builds MAME for AIX, and it will still build, anyway.)
[Vas Crabb]
Paramaterise the arguments to check for NULL in the ATTR_NONNULL macro
rather than just checking the first argument. This requires compiler
support for C99 variadic macros (MSVC2005 and GCC4 have this AFAIK).
[Vas Crabb]
Z80PIO: When outputting from a port to the hardware in pio mode 3,
only those bits defined by the mask should be output. Mame currently
outputs everything. [Robbbert]
Changed the One-Shot List or Selectable value cheats to display "Set"
instead of "Off". Also stopped the cheat options being activated in
order when you are going through the possibilities in this case.
These cheats are now activated by pressing ENTER after you have
chosen an option. [Pugsy]
