Specific Contributions

The known contributions for this version are, in the order specified in the whatsnew:

• Zsolt Vasvari fixed regressions in Gridlee and Gomoku.
• Oliver Stoneberg fixed some unicode build issues in the Windows code.
• Justin Kerk and Lord Nightmare updated a number of games to correctly use the SN76489 instead of the SN76496, which was a later design.
• Atari Ace cleaned up the exports from a number of drivers, adding static qualifiers to functions and variables t hat don't need to be exported and have generic sounding names.
• Zsolt Vasvari updated numerous drivers to remove the use of global Machine wherever possible. Also reviewed the clipping regions and made changes to ensure the passed-in cliprect was honored.
• Vas Crabb cleaned up the Dooyong driver:
  • Consolidated and streamlined tilemap callbacks
  • Took better advantage of MAME's tilemap caching by building larger tilemaps so they don't need to be invalidated as often
  • Interpreted sprite Y position as signed 9-bit value in rshark/superx (fixes some glitches)
  • Added more explanatory comments to help others reading the code
• Atari Ace changed a number of mame timer objects from void * to mame_timer *.
• Robiza fixed a couple more Irem CPU opcodes to improve Match It 2.
• Shimapong fixed a collision detection bug in thunderX.
• David Haywood, Andreas Naive, Tomasz Slanina, ElSemi, and Philip Bennett made an initial attempt at a working CPS3 driver. Basically works but has a lot more work to be done to finish it up.
• Ernesto Corvi fixed a minor cycle timing issue in 6809 CPU core.
• Zsolt Vasvari commited Neo-Geo updates:
  • Fixed several regressions from previous update
  • Added LED outputs
  • Improved the smaller visible area configuration
• JohnBoy fixed some incorrect information in the Neo Geo ROMsets.

• Aaron Giles integrated platform-specific changes into the core makefile, mostly taken from the SDLMAME makefile. Changed the MAMEOS configuration variable to OSD, indicating which OSD layer is being compiled. Added a new configuration variable TARGETOS which specifies the target OS platform.
