MESS v0.140

MESS v0.140 is released. MESS is an open source project which documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles, and calculators through software emulation, as MAME does for arcade games. As a nice side effect to this documentation, MESS allows software and games for these hardware platforms to be run on modern PCs

[exon, Curt Coder] - [ABC800] Added a dump of the keyboard controller ROM. [exon, Curt Coder] - [ABC800] Emulated the built-in keyboard. [Curt Coder, exon] - [ABC800] Emulated the "fast" floppy disk controller. Note that only raw sector dumps work currently (td0 not supported). [Curt Coder, exon] - [ABC800] Refactored drivers to define ADDRESS_MAP_MODERN. [Curt Coder] - [ABC806] Added enhanced options ROM. [exon, Curt Coder] - [ATARIST] Added several language variants. [Curt Coder] - [COCO] Fixed delays in when propagating interrupts signals from the floppy disk controller to the CPU. Added a small pool of timers to allow overlapping interrupt signals. [tim lindner] - [COCO] Added bi-directional bitbanger support. Needs further core changes to be fully implemented. [tim lindner] - [HECTOR] Added initial support for DISK II unit [JJ Stacino] - [MAC] Macintosh IIci now boots, promoted to working. [R. Belmont] - [MAC] Improvements to PMU and Egret MCU emulation. [R. Belmont] - [MAC] Greatly improved Apple Sound Chip emulation for Mac II, IIx, IIcx, and SE/30. [R. Belmont] - [MEPHISTO] the mephisto chess board is defined as a machine (mboard). [Ralf Schaefer] - [MEPHISTO] to reduce the artwork files glasgow, amsterd and mm4 are defined as PARENTS. [Ralf Schaefer] - [MYCOM] Improved video and keyboard [Robbbert] - [MBEE] Added some accessory roms, made various improvements. [Robbbert] - [POFO] Refactored driver to define ADDRESS_MAP_MODERN. [Curt Coder] - [PSION] Added support for datapack images [Sandro Ronco] - [VIP] Refactored driver to define ADDRESS_MAP_MODERN and use the new RCA COSMAC CPU. [Curt Coder] Imgtool Changes: ---------------- - Fixed WIMGTOOL to properly support file systems that use directory separators other than the backslash. [tim lindner] - Added module for create and manage psion datapack images [Sandro Ronco] Source Changes: ---------------- - The core is based on MAME 0.140. This incorporates all features of the update to this core. [MAME team] - Fixed Z80-SIO and DMA to allow trs80m2 to boot CP/M and TRSDOS. [Curt Coder] - Fixed sector counting in TeleDisk images. [Curt Coder] - Added automatic sector translation to the basicdsk format when the INTERLEAVE parameter is specified in a FLOPPY_OPTION block. [Curt Coder] - Fixed writing with the WD17xx. When writing, a timed data request will only set the DRQ. All of the other functionality (for reading) will be omitted. [tim lindner] - Added support for external character generator ROM to HD61830 LCDC. [Curt Coder] - Introduced more accurate MC6847 palette. [Ensjo] - Refactored the HD61830 LCD to a C++ device. [Curt Coder] - Added call to fetch metadata (in cartslot.c) so correct PCB can be loaded. [tim lindner] - Refactored the RCA CDP1802 CPU to a C++ device (COSMAC). [Curt Coder]
