MAME v0.136u4

MAME v0.136u4 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.

Source Changes -------------- Removed window config from video_config [couriersud] Mapped player 2 inputs and buttons 4-6 in Mortal Kombat 3 (bootleg of Megadrive version) [Mariusz Wojcieszek]. {megadriv} Fixed compile by removing "static" [Miodrag Milanovic] Moved global new/delete operators into inlines in emualloc.h to avoid link errors with certain architectures. [couriersud] Some minor cleanup/normalizing of emualloc in general. [Aaron Giles] namcops2 updates [Guru] * Moved Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix and Taiko No Tatsujin 9 to System 256 * Added DVD images for netchu02, soulcl2a, tekken4b, tekken51, sukuinuf, and soulclb3 Fixed TI PSG (sn76489 and friends) noise and square-wave period to be maximum length when period register is set to 0. Fixed white-noise phase/XOR issue: got rid of noise XOR/XNOR select, as all chips seem to use XOR. [Lord Nightmare, Michael Zapf, PlgDavid] Preliminary DIP coverage (lives/coinage/test mode) and Player 2 control fix for unclepoo. [Tafoid] Implemented Z80-DMA interrupts. [Curt Coder] Fixed a bug in emu/sound/disc_mth.c. This affected spiders.c fire sound. [MASH] Minor fix to sn76489: sn76489 wasn't using the correct noise taps (now matches sn94624, still need to test a real chip) Removed a piece of useless code, and fixed a comment. [Lord Nightmare] ui.c,ui.h,windows/input.c: [Miodrag Milanovic] * removed ui_use_new_ui check used by MESS code * moved ui_mess_handler_ingame call in proper place, so device UI callbacks works again * removed toggle of menu bar (MESS related) info.c: Moved print_game_categories into info.c, since it can be used by any driver anyway.

This allows objects to be embedded in the state data and be properly initialized. [Aaron Giles] Moved driver data allocation after device list construction so that devices can be found when the driver data is constructed.

Belmont, David Haywood, Andreas **, Deunan Knute, Guru, ANY] * Fix ROM mirroring in gram2000 and friends * Preliminary hookup of live decryption. Decryption + decompression is not yet supported so some games still load trojaned data instead. naomi: Fixed decrypt method 2, added many more game keys [Deunan Knute, R.
