* (MESS) nes: properly implemented Aladdin Deck Enhancer as a Fabio Priuli2014-02-211-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | pass-through cart. Correct syntax to launch e.g. Dizzy The Adventurer is now "mess nes -cart ade -cart2 dizzyadv". Moved Aladdin minicart dumps to a separate softlist (but you can load in -cart2 iNES files from fullpath, if you like) [Fabio Priuli] nes_camerica: simplified emulation of the BF9096 board and fixed emulation of GoldenFive board (used by the Polish Pegasus 5 in 1 cart). [Fabio Priuli] out of whatsnew: this commit completes the recent work about emulating properly the different pass-through NES/Famicom devices and their corresponding mini-carts... there should be no more games requiring non-standard syntax to be launched.
* (MESS) nes: Properly implemented the Bandai Datach as a passthru cart. Fabio Priuli2014-02-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Datach games have now to be loaded with the following commands "mess nes -cart datach -cart2 gamename" where gamename can be either a shortname from the datach softlist, or a fullpath to the iNES files (or to headerless 256k dump of the Datach minicarts). This is accurate to the hardware, because Datach carts could not be mounted in the main Famicom cartridge slot. [Fabio Priuli]
* (MESS) nes.c: major refactoring and improvements of NES/FC cart emulation: ↵ Fabio Priuli2013-04-211-0/+35
[Fabio Priuli] - converted carts, mappers and pcbs to use slot devices - fixed starting of Famicom, Famicom Twin and Dr. PCJr - fixed handling of "no disk" in FDS so that the system displays Mario and Luigi jumping around as expected - added AY8910 sound to Sunsoft-5B (Gimmick JPN sfx) - added YM2413 to VRC-7 (Lagrange Point OST) - added support for recorded samples to Jaleco sport titles and to Bandai Family Trainer Aerobics Studio, thanks to notes by hap and egoh, and recordings by Pongbashi (samples are needed because these games use a currently undumpable speech chip) - added support for NES-EVENT pcb used by Nintendo World Championship 1990, including dipswitches - added support for Galoob Game Genie real usage (in addition to the codes which Puggsy added to his cheat collections): when you load ggenie, a second cartslot becomes available to load another game attached to the cheat device (e.g. with "mess.exe nes -cart ggenie -cart2 smb") and you can enter the cheat codes as in a real NES - added support for Nantettatte!! Baseball lock-on mechanism, based on the tests performed by naruko on his carts: when you load nantbb, a second cartslot becomes available to load one of the two update minicarts (91 Hen or OB Hen) - improved emulation of Namcot 163, 175 and 340 boards, based on the tests performed by naruko, lidnariq and bootgod on the real hardware - moved Nantettatte!! Baseball minicarts to a separate list (nes_ntbrom.xml) because they cannot be loaded in the NES directly, but only through the nantbb subslot - emulated bus conflict (CPU/PRG) in PCBs documented as having it - partial emulation of open bus, enough to make working the games using it as a sort of protection - fixed crash when loading files using FFE mappers - fixed mirroring in some boards (Sunsoft DCS and UNL-CC-21) and in some games (e.g. Paris Dakar Rally Special and Escape from Atlantis) - fixed a few bugs in Tengen 800032 emulation (mapper 64), promoting Klax, Xybots and Road Runner to work state - fixed Tengen 800037 emulation (mapper 158), promoting US Alien Syndrome to work state - added working emulation of many bootleg pcbs used for pirate conversions from FDS (Ai Senshi Nicol, Doki Doki Panic, Fuuun Shaolin Kyo, Green Beret, Monty no Doki Doki Daidassou, Tobidase Daisakusen, Super Mario Bros Malee 2 / Genius Merio Bros...) - improved emulation of many pirate pcb (BMC-GOLDENCARD-6IN1, KS7013B, KS7012, BMC-GHOSTBUSTERS63IN1, UNL-MALISB, MAXI15 and more...) - improved RacerMate Challenge II emulation, but the game is still not working due to unemulated bicycle controller - added CPU-based IRQ mode in Tengen 800032 emulation (mapper 64), fixing Skulls & Crossbones gfx (but the game is still not working) - fixed many small inaccuracies in the old code, spot during the conversion - added support for most other known pcbs, even if in most cases emulation is only sketchy - reduced the need of fake alt pbcs for boards which only differed by mirroring handling (these are now recognized through the "mirroring" feature) - removed fake wram which was added to a lot of partially documented pcbs and re-added it only where actually present, so to more accurately document what was really in the carts Out of whatsnew: There's still a lot to do (e.g. to clean up the implementation of the pirate pcbs) but I hope that submitting this now I can get some wider testing help so to catch and fix regressions before next release :)
