Hektor II [Nigel Barnes]
- Replace additional driver RAM with S-100 bus
- Convert Video Terminal Interface into a S-100 bus device
- Add skeleton S-100 bus device for SSSD disk controller
* There is no longer a concept of "layers" - there are only screens and elements.
* Elements are now instantiated with <element ref="...">
* Screens and elements can have explicit blending mode specified with blend="..."
* Default blending mode for screens is "add" and default for other elements is "alpha"
* Other supported modes are "none" and "multiply"
* This removes the options to enable/disable layers individually - use views instead
* Legacy layouts can still be loaded, and support won't be removed for at least a year
The current artwork model is over-stretched. It's based on a Space
Invaders cabinet model, and isn't applicable to a lot of the systems
MAME emulates now. The fact that MAME has to switch to an "alternate"
mode to deal with games like Golly! Ghost! without requiring pre-matted
bitmaps shows that the Space Invaders model wasn't even adequate for
general arcade use. It shows in that for a lot of the systems that
heavily depend on artwork, people just seem to randomly choose layers
for elements until they get something that works. Also, the fact that
MAME will switch to an alternate (Golly! Ghost!) mode depending on the
combination of elements is a trap for people learning to make artwork.
There are cases that the current approach of implying the blending mode
from the layer doesn't work with. Examples include LEDs behind
diffusers (requires additive blending for layout elements), and mutliple
stacked LCD panels (requires RGB multiplication for screens).
For configurability, it's now a lot easier to make multiple views using
groups. For example, if you want to make it possible to hide the
control panel section of your layout, you can put the control panel
elements in a group and create views with and without it.
I will gradually migrate the internal artwork to use the new approach.
I have an XSLT stylesheet that helps with this, but I'm not comfortable
adding it because it isn't a complete solution and it still requires
manul steps.
I wanted to get the re-worked pointer handling done sooner so I could
push them both at the same time, but unfortunately various things have
prevented me from progressing as quickly as I wanted to. Sorry guys,
that stuff's going to have to wait.
* move princ out of prestige.cpp (it should have never been put there) and into a new driver
fix graphic alignment on the salter gym machines, also promote htem both to working (the hang I saw before on cycle doesn't seem to happen now)
made a note in redclash.cpp about possible sets needing rearrangement
note, princ uses a F2MC-16L based CPU, I don't believe we have a core, but there are plenty of docs available should somebody want to write a disassembler at least.
* reparent the RedClash sets, it appears to be a Kaneko game (Cat logo in the corner etc.)
* change guess (nw)

Gals Panic (Modular System bootleg) [Juan Romero, Recreativas.org, ClawGrip, David Haywood]
these things are *ugly* from a hardware perspective (massive 6 board stack just for Gals Panic with many, many code hacks to work around hardware changes) so I felt it best to create a new driver with the background bits copy+pasted; the sprites + sound system specific to these bootlegs will need adding.

Star Rider
* Start fixing OS9 disk handling
* Got it working, now need to refine and test
* Almost complete. Doing more testing...
* Tested aginst a varient of sotware. Solved bug. Cleaned up tabs.
* Turned on sector interleaving in OS9_DSK and retested.
On Linux, enable Xinput support by default. The Xinput lightgun driver is the
only reliable+accurate method to use lightguns on Linux, we should enable this
by default to reduce the friction for Linux Lightgun users. This should have no
effect on users of Windows/Mac etc.
Eventually, the svg should be used instead of the pre-rendered ppm.
I'm a little afraid of the performance impact of the 3840 outputs
though, so one thing at a time...
- it's a newer SoC (with a lot more capabilities, eg rotate, zoom, twice the sound channels)
- it uses an updated unSP core (with some extra opcodes)
also made the modifications needed to allow for extension of the unSP + disassembler once we've worked out what the extra opcodes are.
Split video functions into video/raiden2.cpp, Cleanup ACCESSING_BITs, Fix naming, Reduce runtime tag lookups, Reduce unused, Add save state for sprite encryption values

Before pushing, please check that what you're about to push is sane.
Check your local commit log and ensure there isn't anything out-of-place
before pushing to mainline. When things like this happen, it wastes
everyone's time. I really don't need this in a week when real work™ is
busting my balls and I'm behind where I want to be with preparing for
MAME release.
- added MOSFET model. Currently capacitances are not modelled.
This is a 3-pin model (Bulk connected to Source) with provisions to
extend it to 4-pin at a later stage.
- Add a capacitor generic model which is charge conserving.
Switch netlist to use this model instead of constant capacity model.
- Start putting constants into a central place.
Please expect minor timing differences due to a different numerical
path.
The cmos inverter example illustrates the analog implementation of a
cmos inverter gate. These were used a lot back in the 70s/80s to
generate sinus waves. The model should also be able to better emulate
4066 analog switches.
The addition of a relatively simple capacitor model is planned at a
later stage.
Expect everything from the MOSFET model at the current stage. Wrong
results as well as convergence issues and crashes.

This is a little weird because it's a new system and we have a cartridge dump but not the BIOS.
* Disassembly names Monitor ROM entry points, I/O locations, and common zero-page locations
* Disassembly shows ProDOS calls with the call name and lets you step completely over them
I don't really understand why this works, but it enables building with VS 2017 15.7.6 as before. Apologies if it breaks LLVM on VS - I don't have that configuration to test.

WIP checkpoint: while I believe it's largely accurate (and very slow), neither jazz nor sgi systems can fully boot yet using this device, so it remains experimental.
This implementation should go away when it has helped identify the improvements required for mips3.
- Added Slogger Plus 2 Expansion, Acorn Tube Interface and P.R.E.S. Advanced Plus 5 cartridge devices.
- Use derived 16Mhz clock on expansion bus and cartridge slots.
- Removed MCFG and added devcb3 in expansion and cartridge devices.
