Source Changes

• Memory handler normalization, part 1. READ/WRITE_DEVICE*_HANDLERs are now passed an address_space &, and the 8-bit variants get a mem_mask as well. This means they are now directly compatible with the member function delegates. Added a generic address space to the driver_device that can be used when no specific address space is available. Also added DECLARE_READ/WRITE_DEVICE*_HANDLER macros to declare device callbacks with default mem_mask parameters. [Aaron Giles]
• Memory handler normalization, part 2. Change legacy read/write handlers to take an address_space & instead of an address_space *. Also update pretty much all other functions to take a reference where appropriate. [Aaron Giles]
• Memory handler cleanup 3. Add mem_mask parameter to 8-bit handlers to match the others. To ease pain, added DECLARE_READ/WRITE_HANDLER macros that set up a default parameter. Also updated devcb so that the handlers can be called with or without the mem_mask. [Aaron Giles]
• Seibu COP: Added 0x1c param to 0x0205 command, fixes at least sprite positioning during intros of Raiden 2 and Zero Team (but breaks gameplay in Zero Team, needs investigation) [Angelo Salese, Smitdogg]
• Seibu COP: Made 0x42c2 command more accurate, makes Legionnaire enemies to behave properly and match finally starts in Seibu Cup Soccer [Angelo Salese, Smitdogg]
• gunpey.c - Corrected OKI M6925 frequency [Phil Bennett]
• fix for "file note writeable" when creating, plus consolidated some duplicate/redundant code. [smf]
• Seibu COP: Added 0xe38e command, used by Seibu Cup Soccer to follow the ball [Angelo Salese]
• Since nobody checks for NULLs anyway, make device_memory_interface::space() assert against NULL and return a reference, and pushed references throughout all address space usage in the system. Added a has_space() method to check for those rare case when it is ambiguous. [Aaron Giles]
• Added -verifysoftware command. [Wilbert Pol]
• Changed CPS-1 video timings to SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS [Angelo Salese]
• Added generic set of pinball mechanical sounds [Robbbert]
• lib7z: fix portability problems that resulted in memory trashing in some configurations. [R. Belmont]
• Better simulation of Metal Slug X's protection device. [IQ_132] Made Epson R4543 RTC a proper RTC device, eliminates duplicated code in Namco Systems 12 and 23 [R. Belmont]
• rotation - Added motor simulation; added nvram; added mechanical sounds; added notes [Robbbert]
• tms99x8: Converted to using RGB32 bitmap so chips can coexist with other video screens [R. Belmont]
• fixed MT03464: fixed potential out of array access in src/emu/video/voodoo.c logerror() [Oliver Stöneberg]
• m6509: Fixed EA zero page indirect + Y (post indexed). [Curt Coder]
• Implemented DS75160A/DS75161A IEEE-488 GPIB Transceivers. [Curt Coder]
• spectra - added remaining sounds, game marked as WORKING [Robbbert]
• Ported Palette brightness effects to Raiden 2 HW, used by Zero Team and X Se Dae [Angelo Salese]
• mcr68.c: Add dipswitch locations to all sets in the driver. [Brian Troha]
• aftor - fixed display, marked as WORKING [Robbbert]
• Added irq ack to Shanghai 3 HW [Angelo Salese]
• Fixed M68K and hooked up SCREEN_RAW_PARAMS for Blocken. Game was definitely running at erratic speeds before [Angelo Salese, Tafoid]
• mos6526: Implemented a nearly cycle-exact "old" CIA, which passes most of the Lorenz/VICE CIA tests. Refactored the c64/c128/vic10/cbm2 drivers and the 1571/1581 floppy drives to use the new implementation. [Curt Coder]
• 6532riot.c: Internal timer is always running. Fixes several a2600 regressions. (Wilbert Pol)
• Moved scsi protocol code from scsibus_device to scsihle_device, leaving scsibus_device to calculate the current bus contents and distribute it to each of the scsidev_device. [smf]
• suna8.c: fixed sound samples width, improves speech in e.g. rranger [Luca Elia]
• Promoted starfigh to playable state [Luca Elia]
  • Address line scrambling of data ROMs
  • ROM bank latching and mirroring
  • Sound latch and NMI disable
  • Patched some further protection
  • Added graphics banking
• Emulated Lord of Gun's protection rather than patching it out [iq_132]
