These drivers have improved GRAPHICS: ------------------------------------- - The background in Golden Star changes color correctly [Nicola Salmoria]. - Accurate colors in Astro Fighter (PROMs required) [Zsolt Vasvari]. - Accurate colors in Lost Tomb (PROMs required) [Michael Appolo]. - Fixed tile flipping bug in Solomon's Key [Nicola Salmoria]. These drivers have new or improved SOUND: ----------------------------------------- - The music in Bubble Bobble seems to stay in sync now [Tatsuyuki Satoh]. Other drivers changes: ---------------------- - Dynasty Wars works (actually it was already working, it's just that the dip switches had Freeze on by default). - Front Line and Tin Star have the aiming dial (using a dual joystick setup). Also, you can now kill and be killed in Front Line. However, collision detection is not accurately emulated [Nicola Salmoria]. - Fixed ending in Robocop [JC Alexander]. - *FINALLY* fixed Commando sometimes not starting. It was a bug in the decode routine, which has been completely rewritten [Nicola Salmoria]. Changes to the main program: ---------------------------- - Vector translucency can be turned off with -notranslucency [Valerio Verrando]. Source changes: ---------------- - TMS34010 emulator [Alex Pasadyn, Zsolt Vasvari]. - Replaced the 6502 emulator with a new one which also supports 65C02 and 6510. Marat Fayzullin's core is no longer used [Juergen Buchmueller]. - Fixed a bug in the 68000 BCD emulation which caused the 'F1 Dream' timer to malfunction [Nicola Salmoria]. - New function osd_on_screen_display() to show text over the game screen [Nicola Salmoria]. - Fixed bug in the Z80 block I/O instructions (INI, IND, INIR, INDR, OUTI, OUTD, OTIR, and OTDR) [Frank Palazzolo]. - Updated the FM emulation and the way the 8910 updates its buffers. FM also has support for YM2608 and YM2612, though they are not compiled in [Tatsuyuki Satoh]. - [DOS] Rearranged the makefile using archives to work around E2BIG error on some machines [Juergen Buchmueller]. - Support for CRC-32 checksums instead of MAME's custom ones. The actual CRCs will be added later to the drivers [John Butler].
