Tang]. - Improved raster effects handling in NeoGeo games [Razoola]. - Preliminary support for raster effects in CPS2 games [Barry Rodewald]. These drivers have improved SOUND: ---------------------------------- - Fixed Y8950 confincting with YM3812/YM3526 in some SNK games [Jarek Burczynski]. - Fixed sound in 'Spinal Breakers' [Nicola Salmoria]. - Sound in 'HAL21' [Acho A. Tang]. Source changes: --------------- - Fixed collision detection in 'Labyrinth Runner' and 'Fast Lane' [Acho A. Tang]. - Fixed controls & gfx in 'Outrun' and 'Space Harrier' [Bryan McPhail]. - Fixed protection in 'Funky Jet' [Bryan mcPhail, Stephane Humbert]. - Fixed 'Rip Cord' [Acho A. Tang]. - Several fixes to the F3 games [Shiriru, Bryan McPhail]. - Simulated protection in 'SPY' [Acho A. Tang]. - Light gun support [Bryan McPhail]. - Completely redesigned the artwork handling. Any game can now use artwork, with no specific support in the driver. Configuration is done with external .art files [Aaron Giles]: * -[no]artcrop -- crops artwork to the game screen area only. * -[no]backdrop -- enables/disables backdrop art. * -[no]overlay -- enables/disables overlay art. * -[no]bezel -- enables/disables bezel art. - Important for porters: Major redesign of the OS interface for display update [Aaron Giles]: * VIDEO_SUPPORTS_DIRTY flag removed. * osd_mark_dirty() removed. * osd_create_display() now takes an extra parameter rgb_components. * osd_set_visible_area() removed. * osd_allocate_colors() removed. * osd_modify_pen() removed. * osd_update_video_and_audio() now takes a mame_display pointer. * osd_debugger_focus() removed. * osd_set/get_gamma() removed. * osd_set/get_brightness() removed. - New YM-2413 emulator [Fabio R. Schmidlin, Charles Mac Donald]. - The Windows version now rotates the screen at blit time instead of requiring the core to do so. Since the new code is usually faster than the old one, and it allows for great simplifications in the core, rotation at blit time will probably be a requirement in next release. Porters are advised to begin implementing it now [Aaron Giles].
