These drivers have improved SOUND: ---------------------------------- - Fixed noie frequency in the Exidy games [Jim Hernandez]. - Preliminary Namco NA sound support [Phil Stroffolino]. - Samples support in Subroc-3D [Dave France]. Source changes: --------------- - Partially simulated the protection in Birdie Try [Angelo Salese]. - Improved decryption in Quiz F1 1-2 Finish, it's still incomplete though [Angelo Salese]. - Fixed ball position recognition in Golfing Greats [O. Galibert]. - Warnings about incorrect emulation are not disabled [Aaron Giles]. - New options -nodisclaimer and -nogameinfo to disable startup screens [Nicola Salmoria]. - Replaced RDTSC timing with QueryPerformanceCounter. This should fix problems on SpeedStep notebooks. It seems, however, that it causes even worse problems on other machines. Therefore, the old behaviour can be forced with the new -rdtsc option [smf]. - Now compiled with MinGW 2.0/GCC 3.2. There might be bugs caused by the new compiler, let us know [Nicola Salmoria]. - All new, much better, YM2413 emulation [Jarek Burczynski]. - Drum support in YM2608 emulation (check e.g. Tail 2 Nose) [Jarek Burczynski]. - Moved most of the file I/O out of the OS depndant code and into the core. Added two new types, mame_file and osd_file, which enforce better type checking throughout the system (and prevents confusing the two). Instead of calling osd_fopen, osd_fread, osd_fwrite, etc., you now call mame_fopen, mame_fread, mame_fwrite, etc. The osd_* calls are reserved to the core. All the ZIP handling is done in the mame_file functions, so it will be inherited by all ports [Aaron Giles]. - [Win32] The diff, snap, cfg, nvram, etc. directories are created automatically if they don't exist the first time MAME tries to create a file there [Aaron Giles]. - MIPS III/IV CPU cores [Aaron Giles]. - ADSP-2115 CPU support [Aaron Giles]. - TMS32025 CPU core [Quench]. - Fixed YMF278B emulation [R. Belmont].
