[Toshiaki Nijiura] Changes to the main program: ---------------------------- - A number of obsolete backward compatibility macros have been removed. [Aaron Giles] See this list for the equivalents if you have a driver that is using them: cpu_set_reset_line -> cpunum_set_input_line cpu_set_halt_line -> cpunum_set_input_line cpu_set_irq_line -> cpunum_set_input_line cpu_set_irq_line_and_vector -> cpunum_set_input_line_and_vector timer_suspendcpu -> cpunum_suspend/cpunum_resume timer_holdcpu -> cpunum_suspend/cpunum_resume cpu_getstatus -> cpunum_is_suspended timer_get_overclock -> cpunum_get_clockscale timer_set_overclock -> cpunum_set_clockscale cpu_gettotalcycles -> cpunum_gettotalcycles cpu_gettotalcycles64 -> cpunum_gettotalcycles64 keyboard_name -> code_name keyboard_pressed -> code_pressed keyboard_pressed_memory -> code_pressed_memory keyboard_pressed_memory_repeat -> code_pressed_memory_repeat keyboard_read_async -> code_read_async install_mem_read*_handler -> memory_install_read*_handler install_mem_write*_handler -> memory_install_write*_handler install_port_read*_handler -> memory_install_read*_handler install_port_write*_handler -> memory_install_write*_handler memory_install_read*_handler_mirror -> memory_install_read*_handler memory_install_write*_handler_mirror -> memory_install_write*_handler READ_HANDLER -> READ8_HANDLER WRITE_HANDLER -> WRITE8_HANDLER - Miscellaneous cleanups and refactorings done primarily to support a new MESS specific feature. Also removed some '#if 0' code. [Nathan Woods] - New input port definitions, similar to the new memory map definitions. You can continue to use the old PORT_BIT, PORT_BITX, and PORT_ANALOG macros for now, but it is preferred going forward that all ports use only PORT_BIT, and append all other flags and options using the new macros. See pacman.c for an example of the new format. The new input ports also support tagging for easier tracking of ports, and the ability to import port definitions from another set. [Nathan Woods] - Two minor fixes to xml2info so that 'mame -listxml|xml2info' matches 'mame -listinfo' exactly. [Logiqx] - New option in the Windows version: -wavwrite to save sound output to a WAV file. [smf] - Removed -listinfo option now that xml2info produces fully correct output. [Aaron Giles] - Added ADSP2181 variant to the ADSP21xx CPU cores. [Aaron Giles] - Added support for many more instruction forms in x86drc.h. [Aaron Giles] - Added consistency checking for the year field. [Nathan Woods] - Removed some silly 6502 speedups in the Atari games.

A few features that have been missing in Helifire since my last update are back, i.e. the flickering colors when you're shot and the volume decay effect (this affects the melody at the start of a game and a few tunes that can be heard during the bonus scenes every twelve attack waves). The starfield should now scroll at the correct speed, it's only 75% of what it used to be. Finally, I have decided to use the color prom from Space Fever in Space Launcher, I think it's correct.
