MAME 0.130u4

MAME MAME 0.130u4 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.


what's news in MAME 0.130u4:
MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
----------------------
- 03106: [Sound] mouja: Sound Effects/Voice missing (Angelo Salese)
- 03065: [Crash/Freeze] All sets in namcos12.c: [debug] MAME asserts
during load time (Aaron Giles)
- 03069: [Crash/Freeze] All sets in midzeus.c: [debug] MAME asserts
during load time (Aaron Giles)


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)
* Some minor improvements to the irq system
* Added a bunch of Maple-DMA fixes, now moeru boots too

Factored out MESS-specific code from machine/atari.c (cart init,
loading & unloading) [Fabio Priuli]

Correctly implemented 'trail' function in ninjakd2. [kanikani]

Changed galgbios service switch to be a toggle. [David Haywood]

Fixed CPU_GET_INFO issues spotted by -validate in MESS debug build.
[Fabio Priuli]

Added Dip Locations to jalmah.c. [Fabio Priuli]

Improved test mode behaviour on the jalmah.c. [Angelo Salese]

Added display of frame number to the beamx/y info in the register
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.
[Fabio Priuli]
