0.21 [Nicola Salmoria, Martin Scragg]
TODO:
- bosco & galaga: The starfield is wrong. The function of STARCLR is unknown. It is not latched and there are no data bits used...
- bosco: Is the scrolling tilemap placement correct? It is currently aligned so that the test grid shown on startup is correct, but this way an unerased grey strip remains on the left of the screen during the title sequence.
- gallag/gatsbee: Explosions are not emulated since the bootleg board doesn't have the 54XX custom. Should probably use samples like Battles?
- Should Xevios have a 4th Z80 like the other bootlegs? We don't have a dump for that ROM.
- xevious: I haven't found any Easter egg in service mode. The main loop is very simple so there might just not be one, though this would be the only Namco game of that era to not have a service mode Easter egg. On the other hand, the service mode in this game is VERY spartan when compared to the other Namco games.
- dzigzag: Emulate the 4th CPU (should be similar to battles).
WIP:
- 0.189: Added new 74LS259 device [AJR].
- 0.174: Added includes\bosco.h, includes\digdug.h and includes\xevious.h. Allow separate Galaga driver building [Miodrag Milanovic].
- 0.166: Significant accuracy improvements, documentation and other updates to the ER-2055 EAROM emulation used for several Atari games, based on schematics and datasheets. It now uses a state machine to keep track of the current EAROM bus state (machine\atari_vg.c) [Lord Nightmare].
- 0.147u1: Fixed Galaga crash by using proper state - there are most likely more of this [Oliver Stoeneberg].
- 0.147: Sandro Ronco fixed Galaga driver regressions ([debug] Crash immedately after OK).
- 0.145: Miodrag Milanovic converted ATARIVGEAROM to a modern devices.
- 0.144u1: hap fixed screen flipping isn't handled correctly in Bosconian, Galaga, Xevious, Dig Dug and clones.
- 0.141u4: Further decoupled some driver files to help driver_device conversions [Atari Ace]: xevious/bosco/digdug subclass from galaga.
- 0.140u1: Derrick Renaud optimized speed of DISCRETE_DAC_R1.
- 0.139u1: Atari Ace removed global variables from NAMCO sound core.
- 0.138u1: Moved global and static variables in driver galaga into a machine class. Renamed some variables, e.g. galaga_videoram and bosco_videoram to just videoram [Couriersud].
- 0.136u4: Couriersud fixed save state support in custom NAMCO devices (50,51,53) and Galaga driver.
- 0.133u1: Brian Troha improved bonus verbiage for the Galaga driver. Verbiage more like the actual manual.
- 0.132u4: Fabio Priuli fixed debug assert in battles, gallag and gatsbee (machine\namco06.c:240). Added comment about Galaga driver bootlegs using 06XX emulation.
- 0.131u4: Updated Galaga driver to use computed video timing [Aaron Giles]. Changed VSync to 60.606061 Hz.
- 0.131u1: MooglyGuy merged memory maps in the Galaga driver.
- 0.129: Kevin Eshbach added placeholders for various PALs on the Galaga systems.
- 0.128u4: Derived clocks from crystals in Galaga driver. Unified CPU4 memory maps [Luigi30].
- 0.125u3: Aaron Giles/Couriersud fixed dipswitch information is not being readded properly when .CFG is read in all sets. Couriersud fixed player 2 has all sprites offset by an inch or two in cocktail mode.
- 0.118u4: Alex Jackson converted the inputs in Galaga driver to tags, using INCLUDE/MODIFY for clones.
- 0.112u2: Added audio\galaga.c.
- 0.104u8: Andre Hufschmidt added save state support to the Galaga driver games.
- 0.93: Added clock parameter to Namco sound (96000 Hz).
- 0.79u1: Merged bosco.c, digdug.c and xevious.c with galaga.c driver. Added includes\galaga.h. Removed machine\bosco.c, machine\digdug.c, machine\galaga.c and sndhrdw\bosco.c. Big 80s Namco Update [Nicola Salmoria]: This affects the first Namco games that used custom I/O chips. Files that are no longer needed and should be removed: drivers\bosco.c, drivers\xevious.c, drivers\digdug.c, machine\digdug.c, machine\galaga.c, machine\bosco.c, machine\polepos.c, sndhrdw\bosco.c. Added three new sound chips: Namco 15XX, Namco 52XX, Namco 54XX, and changed drivers to use them (Namco 54XX is just a placeholder playing samples, until the chip is reverse engineered), MAME testers bugs fixed: digdug063gre, galaga057gre, bosco071u2gre, poleposc059gra, added EAROM support to digdug, extensive documentation of ROM names and placement, and differences between Namco and licensed versions, converted all drivers to tilemaps, and made gfx emulation more accurate according to schematics, IP_KEY_PREVIOUS and IP_JOY_PREVIOUS are no longer used by any driver: They may be removed from the core, support for start lamps, coin counters and coin lockout (all internallyhandled by the custom I/O chip), toggling the test switch while the game is running enters test mode without need to manually reset, found and documented test mode Easter eggs in all games except Xevious, bosconian now uses a different sound PROM, which seems more correct, galaga uses better dumps of the PROMs, with the unused top 4 bits set to 0, correct handling of 52XX sample start/end pointers in ROM, better emulation of 50XX custom, no more need for hacks in bosconian, swapped digdug and digdugb, the main set should be the newer one, removed these galaga clones: nebulbee (copyright/name change), galagab2 (mix 'n match of ROMs from other sets), galaga84 (copyright/gfx change), galagads (1-byte hack to get fast shoot, reproducible with this line in cheat.dat: galaga:1:070D:0D:100: Fast Shoot), added Galaga rev. B, which is now the main set, renamed the other galagao, added galagamk, a different Midway version, removed various bad dumps from polepos2b and poleps2c, they turned out to be the same version so poleps2c is removed, drivers\locomotn.c is no longer needed and should be removed, converted to tilemaps, consolidated as much as I could, fixed: jungler37b3gre and correct tile/sprite priority handling (also in Bosconian).
- 0.63: Satoshi Suzuki fixed credits are lost when the player presses the start button during the game in galaga and xevious.
- 30th June 2002: Satoshi Suzuki fixed a coin lockout bug in the Galaga driver, and added explosion sound to the startup.
- 0.37b12: Changed VSync to 60.606060Hz.
- 0.27: Added bosco.c and xevious.c driver, machine\bosco.c, vidhrdw\bosco.c, machine\xevious.c, vidhrdw\xevious.c and sndhrdw\bosco.c.
- 0.26: Added digdug.c driver, machine\digdug.c and vidhrdw\digdug.c.
- 0.25: Removed xevious.c driver, machine\xevious.c and vidhrdw\xevious.c.
- 0.23: Added xevious.c driver, machine\xevious.c and vidhrdw\xevious.c.
