to the sound and CPU interfaces. This is still a bit WIP, but works at
a fundamental level. Currently the only example of usage is in qix.c for
the MC6845 CRTC.
New module: mconfig.c/.h. Moved all machine_config and MDRV_* macros here,
out of driver.c/.h. Added MDRV macros for adding/removing/configuring
devices.
qix.c: Moved video part of machine driver to video/qix.c. Added MC6845
as a device in the machine driver. Removed explicit MC6845 initialization
from VIDEO_START in favor of simply retrieving the token from the device
interface code.
mc6845.c: Updated all callbacks to pass the mc6845_t * object. Updated
all drivers accordingly. Added a minimal device interface.
Deprecated the following constants because global constants that pretend
to document things but which are only guesses are dumb:
- DEFAULT_60HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_30HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_REAL_60HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_REAL_30HZ_VBLANK_DURATION
- DEFAULT_60HZ_3S_VBLANK_WATCHDOG
- DEFAULT_30HZ_3S_VBLANK_WATCHDOG
Updated all drivers to explicitly specify the equivalent bogus times.
Added comments for the "REAL" VBLANK durations to indicate that they are
not accurate.
Hi mamedev,
Here's my periodic batch of code cleanups. The usual batch of adding static/const plus some include fixes. In addition, I reverted some of the changes to build.mak from u1 which made some MSVC builds fail, and adjusted/optimized an m10.c gfx_layout. I also added some missing cores to cpuintrf.c, sndintrf.c and added some missing #if's to 5220intf.c.

Tried to "unified" the driver with m52 and m57 drivers (I still think that some things can be merged).
Don't forget to check SVN revisions 695 and 696 !
Since it's an SCSPx2 with ADPCM instead of FM it's already feature-complete except filter envelopes.
A bug in the ARM7 core causes incorrect pan/level values to be computed in e.g. the Naomi SOUND TEST menu (I've also been seeing this in DSF playback). This is not a defect in the AICA.
Please credit ElSemi, Deunan Knute, kingshriek, and myself.
moved decryption table setup to 'config' struct for the CPU.
added latest tables from robiza, making Risky Challenge playable, promoted it to working
told CPU core to not decrypt code after brkn instruction, enabling it again on iret, allowing me to remove several 'don't decrypt range' hacks in robiza's code.
updated all drivers accordingly.
currently the disassembly is a bit weird now, this will need looking at.
Tried to "unified" the drivers (I still think that some things can be merged).
Added src/includes/iremipt.h source file (same purpose as src/includes/taitoipt.h).
Fixed Dip Switches and inputs for 'alpha1v'. The game is now more playable to me but I left the GAME_NOT_WORKING flag as I think there are still some things to look at).
Added DIPLOCATION macros to all Dip Switches. All DSW are verified through test mode.
Fixed custom_io_r which is used for protection but also for keyboard input.
Subject: [patch] Fix maxaflex problems
Hi mamedev,
The maxaflex, mf_bdash and mf_achas drivers fatalerror on startup as
reported on MAMETesters. This should fix it.
Subject: [patch] Add nmk112 initialization
Here's a small patch to add initialization to machine/nmk112.c. This
resolves a multi-session audio problem reported for donpachi by
Iaspis.

Subject: [patch] Fix n64 multi-session problems
This patch adds some variable initialization to machine/n64.c to fix
running starsldr multi-session (reported by Firewave/subb). The fix
is a strict improvment on the current situation, but there are likely
still some remaining multi-session/reset issues with the driver.
