MAME v0.88u3

posted in Emulator Release by spacetiger on Nov 7th, 2004

The big news in the latest MAME WIP is the inclusion of a new debugger. It's set as the default for now so that people can test it out and give feedback. As usual, general and game-specific changes have also been made:
      General Improvements
    • FD1094 improvements
    • Fixes to prevent crashes in X86-64 compiles
    • Other miscellaneous fixes
    • Converted mermaid.c to tilemaps
    • Improvements to the Liberator driver, correct proms now used
    • Fixed addc, subc, mulu, muls in Hyperstone Core
    • Hyperstone updates
    • Improvements to SPI decryption
    • Jr Pacman driver cleanups
      New Windows based debugger
    • Debugger no longer "auto hides"
    • The "main" window has four panes: a register list on the left, a disassembly around the current PC at the top, a console output window in the middle, and an input line at the bottom
    • Hitting Enter on a blank line in the console is equivalent to single stepping once
    • You can bring up multiple independent memory and/or disassembly windows by using the Debug menu
    • Implemented a number of useful commands in the console
    • F12 now means "run and hide the debugger"
    • Enabling the debugger now forces window mode and prevents you from switching to full screen mode
    • Added step over/step out functionality
    • Modified the 680x0 and MIPS3 disassemblers to support these features
    • Changed the disassembly view to back up 3 instructions when resetting
    • Improved filtering of keypresses so that they don't leak into the game when you are typing in the debugger
      New Games supported or promoted from GAME_NOT_WORKING status
    • Super Lup Lup Puzzle
    • Mission Craft
      New Clones supported or promoted from GAME_NOT_WORKING status
    • Hot Rod (4 player, Japan)

    • Liberator (set 2)
