0.36b10 1999/11/20 [#084 - Nicola Salmoria] ------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT: Due to changes in the palette system, there might be games that had correct colors before, and wrong now. Please let us know if you find any. New games supported ------------------- Baraduke [Manuel Abadia] Combatribes [Carlos A. Lozano, Richard Bush, Bryan McPhail] D-Con [Bryan McPhail] Double Dragon 3 [Carlos A. Lozano, Richard Bush, Bryan McPhail] Dr. Toppel Tankentai [Quench] Dynamite Duke (play it with sound disabled) [Bryan McPhail] Flak Attack [Manuel Abadia] I, Robot [Dan Boris, John Dickson] (suggestion: turn off autoframeskip) Metro-Cross [Manuel Abadia] New clones supported -------------------- Frogger (Konami) [Nicola Salmoria] Joyful Road (= Munch Mobile) [Nicola Salmoria] Kaiketsu Yanchamaru (= Kid Niki) [Nicola Salmoria] Majuu no Ohkoku (= Devil World) [Nicola Salmoria] Rock 'n Rope (Konami) [Nicola Salmoria] Samurai (set 2) [Nicola Salmoria] Spaltan X (= Kung Fu Master) [Nicola Salmoria] These drivers have improved GRAPHICS: ------------------------------------- - Fixed lots of drivers for -depth 16 support [Zsolt Vasvari]. These drivers have new or improved SOUND: ----------------------------------------- - Fixed music in cworld2j [CAB]. Source changes: -------------------- - Fixed controls in 'Ikari III' level 2 [Nicola Salmoria]. - Fixed 'Go Go Mr. Yamaguchi' [Takahiro Nogi]. - Fixed hangs in 'TNZS' [Quench]. - [DOS] Adjusted the autoframeskip code, to make it increase frameskip a little faster, but not as fast as it was before the previous change. Let's see how this performs [Nicola Salmoria]. - Support for gzipped (NOT zipped) cheat files. Uncompressed files still work [Mathis Rosenhauer]. - Merged the flags and orientation fields of struct GameDriver [Nicola Salmoria]. - Removed base and size from struct MemoryReadAddress, use MemoryWriteAddress to store the pointers. Several drivers had the bad habit of using MemoryReadAddress to initialize those variables, hopefully I haven't broken any while updating them [Nicola Salmoria]. - Removed prom_memory_region from struct GameDriver. The PROM memory region is now specified directly in the ROM declaration, with ROM_REGIONX( length, REGION_PROMS ). Similarly, REGION_GFX1..8 are defined for gfx decoding, but drivers have not been updated to use them. See drivers/namcos86.c for the only example [Nicola Salmoria]. - Removed samplenames from stuct GameDriver. It is now in struct SamplesInterface, and some drivers load the samples directly without using that structure. Due to this change, -listsamples and -verifysamples, and the samples information in -listinfo, are no longer available. Actually, samples might not be working at all - I haven't tested them [Nicola Salmoria].
