    • Acceptable Material
      If it is a review it has to be one of a game or emulator.
      If it is a guide/manual it has to do with emulation(how to use an emulator etc), not a game.
      New releases - Keep in mind that we check other sites regularly for those ourselves.

MAME 0.119u4

Zoo Keeper
Time for a new update; grab it from the Latest Release page. A number of new games and clones are enabled in this release, thanks to Haze and Luca Elia (and all those who helped dump the games). We also have support for Player’s Edge Plus Double Bonus Poker, contributed by new contributor Jim Stolis, who has been documenting his progress on his blog. This release also contains some updates to the multithreaded 3dfx support, hopefully making it scale better above 2 CPUs and simplifying the implementation for those working on other ports.

0.119u4
-------

NOTE TO OSD PORTERS: The work interfaces have changed again. Please
read details below. The updated interfaces remove functionality, so
in the end it should be simpler(!) to port.

Source Changes
--------------
Moved Hayaoshi Quiz Ouza Ketteisen to its own driver. [David Haywood]

Added coin counters to cabal bootleg and hooked up the 2 sample player
CPUs in cabal bootleg. It seems there still are some problems, because
the coin up music is played during the game. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

More improvements to the Vs. Janshi Brandnew Stars driver.
[David Haywood]

More SCSP improvements: [El Semi]
- Fixed endianness issue on 8-bit samples and added interpolation
- Disabled modulation attempt (should fix the crash problems)
- Tweeked pitch calculation

Added the repeat count register (reg 0x34) access and immediate value
load to the MB86233 core (needed by Pilot kids). [El Semi]

Cleaned up the inputs, and fixed flipscreen in dynax.c. [Luca Elia]

Fixed several issues in seibuspi.c: [couriersud]
- added sound to rdft2us
- added coin-handling to single board games
- fix interrupt handling
- for rfjetus, adds a hack to enable Test-Switch to enter testmode
if no nvram exists

Fixed several issues in the i386 core: [couriersud]
- the INTR-line for i386 is a "level" line; changed interrupt
handling to trigger on asserted line
- in 32bit mode, determine trap/interrupt from gate-header
- interrupt line is read during two bus cycles. Adjust CYCLES
accordingly.

Added coin DIP switches and "teleport hole" DIP switch to crushs.
[sonikos]

Bug fixes for the z80gb cpu core: [Wilbert Pol]
- Fixed cycle count for taking an interrupt
- Fixed cycle count for BIT X,(HL) instructions
- Fixed flags in RRCA instruction
- Fixed DAA instruction
- Fixed flags in ADD SP,n8 instruction
- Fixed flags in LD HL,SP+n8 instruction

Fixed the linking issues when specifying MSVC_BUILD=1 and DEBUG=1.
[Oliver Stoneberg]

Fixed a compile error on architectures where "char" is unsigned
(notably some PowerPC configurations). [Bill Blake]

Added two more filters to the headon crash sound. Now, only the
envelopes for the crash sound filters are missing. [couriersud]

Loverboy input fixes: [wolf676]
- added and verified all DSW
- added and verified Button1 for both players

Added color PROMs for Cannon Ball. [Rob Walmsley]

Fixed several out-of-bounds array accesses in the code. [Andi]

Fixed mask rom test in prmrsocr. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Fixed 64-bit DRC bug that broke kinst in the previous release.
[Aaron Giles]

Added code to detect potential hotspots in the 64-bit DRC. Added
hotspots to all the seattle.c games and several of the vegas.c games.
[Aaron Giles]

Simplified the osd_work implementation. Removed the concept of shared
work items. Added new function osd_work_item_queue_multiple() which
allows efficient queueing of large numbers of work items. Changed
previous osd_work_item_queue() function into an inline that calls the
new function. [Aaron Giles]

Updated Voodoo code to use the new work functions. It now queues
small scanline chunks as independent items rather than using shared
items. Updated code to also copy some parameters to allow for greater
overlapping of emulation and rendering. [Aaron Giles]

For Windows work functions, added new scalable lock implementation
that hopefully has better performance characteristics when scaling
above 2 CPUs. [Aaron Giles]

For Windows work functions, added statistics gathering code. This is
on by default for the moment to help point to problems that might be
encountered with this version. [Aaron Giles]
