loading” option moves from neocd options to sound options …

- Sound processing of DirectX (DirectSound) is done by corresponding
DirectX8.0 (same as Ootake v1.xx). As a result, the sound of the high
pitched has improved (it is likely to depend on the favor). And, it became
feeling near a real machine.
- Processing related to the video chip has been improved. In "ROCK ON", the
problem that the screen …

Device-ified the Atari mathbox. [couriersud]

Device-ified the Atari vector generators. [couriersud]

Added register SXFER (0x05) to the 53c810 - Nothing more. This reg

determines SCSI transfer speeds. scud / scuda now fatalerror with

writes to reg # 0x70. [couriersud]

Added mtonic decryption. [Olivier Galibert]

Provided color prom to Cow Race [Tomasz Slanina, Angelo Salese]

Quick hack to delay installing the spu dma handler until the first

write to the spu as driver init is now called after the devices are

created. [smf]

Added some missing robadv2 sets to sfbonus.c. [David Haywood]

Partially fixed asurabld/asurabus sound regression. [Phil Bennett]

XTAL and divisors for rocnrope verified in schematics. [couriersud]

Added a debug viewer for the blitter-based gfxs in the itgambl3.c.

[Angelo Salese]

Added a debug viewer for the blitter-based gfxs in the itgambl2.c.

[Angelo Salese]

Renamed a number of commonly-used but confusing device tags. The plan

is to move away from generic names like "main" to names that capture

the device type as well. This will allow searches for devices to be

based on tags alone. Added validity checks to prevent the continuance

of this pattern (which I started , and to ensure that all devices

have unique tags, regardless of type. [Aaron Giles]

Changes:

CPU/"main" -> "maincpu"

CPU/"audio" -> "audiocpu"

CPU/"sound" -> "soundcpu"

SCREEN/main -> "screen" (since it's the only one)

SPEAKER/"left" -> "lspeaker"

SPEAKER/"right" -> "rspeaker"

SCREEN/"left" -> "lscreen"

SCREEN/"right" -> "rscreen"

SCREEN/"middle" -> "mscreen"

SCREEN/"center" -> "cscreen"

Corrected rom names in tnzs.c for older TNZS sets. [Brian Troha]

Hooked up the reel background colour writes to cherry master / new

fruit bonus '96 etc. [David Haywood]

Fixed rom loading in secretab. [Angelo Salese]

Added BellFruit Scorpion 1, Bellfruit System 85, Maygay M1B and

Maygay M2 systems from AGEMAME. MPU4 Mechanical improvements have been

made, making mpu4.c the mechanical driver, and mpu4drvr the non-

mechanical one. This only leaves JPM impact (mechanical skeleton),

Maygay M2 and MPU3 (mechanical skeleton) to be ported from the

AGEMAME codebase. There's also been a cleanup sweep on Scorpion2, we

were declaring too many versions of the same function, and the reel

drawing code had stopped working. Both of these are now fixed.

[James Wallace]

Improved note about cherry master girl display [David Haywood]
