Instead, palettes are now devices, and drivers and devices can have as many independent palettes as needed. This update required extensive changes to many parts of the core, UI, OSD layers, drivers and devices. • and updated the core so there is no longer a single, global array of decoded graphics. Decoded graphics are now owned by devices using a new device interface, called, unsurprisingly, device_gfx_interface. A 'gfxdecode' device (which does nothing but inherit this interface) provides the old, driver-level decoding functionality for drivers with video emulation not based on devices and for devices that haven't been updated to the new interface (which is currently most of them).

Also, graphics layouts can now reference shared RAM regions by tag the same way as ROM regions, eliminating the need to set up RAM-based graphics manually (note that drivers/devices are still responsible for marking gfx elements dirty when the RAM they are decoded from is written to). •,,, and did a huge effort to modernized core and drivers, almost every file has been touched. • fixed a bug preventing memory display of INT8/UINT8 in debugger. • added missing interfaces to netlist. Mame -debug pongf now does not crash any longer and displays some state. Still more work needed.

Further improved the netlist state saving. • updated tx0.c: Modernized cpu core.

• removed legacy code in netlist and separated out 74153 and 74107(A). • updated superfx. Hipaa 837 To Excel. c: Modernized cpu core. • updated the Truco-Tron driver: Reversed and documented almost all PCB's ICs • added a '-u' (for unix) flag to srcclean to produce unix-style endings. • updated spc700.c: Modernized cpu core.

• added a dry-run option (-d) to srcclean. Know what you are doing. • updated mc68901.c: use aer register to select which transition to generate an interrupt on and added preliminary transmit and receive support. • updated se3208.c: Modernized cpu core. • provided an alignment of netlist with MAME standards. Inputs to netlist are now registered using by MCFG_* as mame subdevices and exhibit the usual writeXX/readXX methods including a PORT_CHANGED method. This allows direct linking to inputs.

• updated sc61860. Kuro No Tsuki English Patch. c: Modernized cpu core. • updated ssp1601.c: Modernized cpu core. • updated diserial.c: don't transmit anything when driven by an external clock and nothing has been queued. Call set_data_frame() before calling set_rcv_rate() as otherwise it acccesses m_synchronous before it is set leading to random behaviour.

Changed parity & stop bits to an enum (you can now pass in 1.5). Updated the uarts that were testing for 1.5 stop bits to pass that in, but there are probably others & 1.5 stop bits is converted to 2 by diserial.

The 68681 requires stop bits to be specified in clocks, so this will change in the future. Replaced synchronous flag with start bit count, as some uarts can use a start bit in synchronous mode & that whether there is a start bit is all the flag is currently controlling. Updated rs232 terminal to allow startbits, stop bits 1.5 to be specified (although that is currently not supported by diserial) and individual transmit and receive baud rates. • updated scmp.c: Modernized cpu core.

• updated atarist.c: push all gpio values to allow interrupts to work. • updated unsp.c: Modernized cpu core. • provided AVR8 improvements: • Added ELPM instructions.

• Added fuse bits macros. • Added reset logic to decide initial program counter based on fuse bits configuration. • Added initial support for ATMEGA1280 and ATMEGA2560. • Use register names in the disassembly of IN and OUT instructions. • updated tms32010.c: Modernized cpu core. • and updated segaorun.c: Added motor and lamp outputs. • updated via6522.c: Converted to use devcb2. Imgburn 2.5.8.0 Final - Scenedl: Full Version Software.

Removed alot of read handlers where the values could more easily (and often were being) pushed. CA1 is input only, so he has removed the output callback. The lisa via hookup has been changed as it had functions named as CA2/CB2 hooked up to CA1/CB1 and CA1 output no longer exists, it appears to have been wrong since before the code was merged with MAME. Added support for shift out free running at t2 rate, cb1 output now lasts for the specified number of clocks and the signal goes low at the end.
