Phil's 'if I get hit by a bus' Namco S22 MLE update [Phil Stroffolino]
TMS32025:
bugfix for lst and lst1 opcodes; the "ignore ARP" hack has been replaced
with a better hack, that doesn't interfere with indirect addressing.
Preliminary serial I/O support has been added, to update DRR/DXR on RINT
and XINT interrupts. set_irq_line() no longer masks the lines with 0x7; this a
llows external triggering of RINT/XINT interrupts.
System22 driver changes:
- display list processing is now done by the master DSP
- the slave DSP's in-game graphics processing and "custom render devices
" are currently simulated, which works only for Prop Cycle
- support for PDP block-based memory transfers
- support for DSP data/code uploads from main CPU
- support for "Point RAM" and "Point ROM" access
- most self tests are working in Prop Cycle and Ridge Racer (Japan)
- prelim hand-crafted "internal ROMs" for master and slave DSP

not hooked up though.

to affect the SPI games, but should help with MESS

Hyperstone CPU core fixes [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
- Added addressing of next byte if in load / store instructions using
Displacement Address Mode PC is used as register destination
- Added local registers wrap around modulo 64
- Added trap instructions to the dasm
- Added some debug info when high global registers are written
- Fixed some wrong format in the dasm
- Changed reset to act as an exception, as the doc claims (before it cra
shed
if reset was used as an exception)
Killer Instinct Fixes [Aaron Giles]

* found second bitmap page, fixing a bunch of video problems and romovin
g
the egregious hack I had in there before
* fixed sound reset and initialization
* all diagnostics pass
* fixed coinage dipswitches
* added 2 alternate ROM sets for each game
Fixes: kinst067gre2, kinst072gre
MIPS DRC fixes [Aaron Giles]
Fixes an edge case where a memory access like:
lw r3,$0(r0)
would leave the stack in a funny state and lead to a crash.
Fixes kinst067red.
Instructions of the form:
ld r10,0(r10)
Would load the low word into r10 first, and then use the modified r10 (p
lus
4) as the address of the high word. Bad bad bad.
Fixes the sky graphics in several of the kinst2 levels.
ZN Improvements [smf]
24-bit rendering support for Judge Dredd
Updates to the 'jalmah' driver [Angelo Salese]
kakumei and kakumei2 now boot but neither are playable due to protection
Misc Updates [Nathan Woods]
src/windows/windows.mak:
- Fixes the afore mentioned problem with x86drc.c
src/fileio.c:
src/windows/fileio.c:
- Adds in a new (windows only) mode for opening files whereby files
can be opened for read/write, but changes are not actually not written
to the original file but rather to a temporary file. This trick is us
ed
by the MESS testing facility so that tests do not mutate the images th
ey
 operate on.
- Small cleanups
src/png.c:
- Replaces a #ifdef MESS/#else/#endif combo with a usage of the
APPNAME macro
SPI / 386 updates [Ville Linde]
* raidnfgt now runs normally and correctly through
attract mode and gameplay, modulo the encrypted
graphics. Still kinda mesmerizing :-)
* viperp1 starts to boot now, but doesn't get very far
* Hooked up the Z80 bankswitching, so sound started
playing in some games (notably Raiden Fighters). (R.Belmont)
Various ST-V updates [Mariusz Wojcieszek]
fixes sprites in groovef which is now playable, adds some RBG0 scrolling
which greatly improves background graphics in cotton2, cottonbm, grdforc
e
and othellos
Debugger Fixes [Aaron Giles]
This is a quick attempt to make the debugger more useable with the new
memory system. The masking of addresses and data should now be working
properly again.
Also, you can go to any memory window and type 'P' to view program addre
ss
space, or 'T' to view data address space.
OSD 'NO EXECUTE' Support [Aaron Giles]
This patch introduces two new OSD functions:
osd_alloc_executable();
osd_free_executable();
For most platforms, these can just map to malloc and free. However, star
ting
with WinXP SP2, if you are running on a processor that supports the
NO_EXECUTE bit (currently only 64-bit AMD chips),
standard user-mode memory allocations won't allow you to put code in the
m
and execute it.
Since this is exactly what x86drc.c does, I've added the two functions
above. On Windows, these map to calling VirtualAlloc and VirtualFree, wh
ich
allow you to specify the read/write/execute states of the pages thus
allocated.
Lethal Justice / Egg Venture Cleanups [Aaron Giles]
* merged memory maps
* fixed video size in Egg Venture to correct flicker
* switched to VIDEO_RGB_DIRECT
* removed unnecessary ROM regions and memcpy'ing
