The post-extract target on this package was supposed to allow normal users
to build this package, but it didn't work for me. It may have been the
attempt at changing $WRKSRC instead of $WRKSRC/src (recursively).
The updated command touches only directories rather than all files and
now handy_sdl builds for me with a non-root user.
* Update glibc rpm to 2.14.1-14.17.1, previous one is not in repo.
* Change /etc/mtab symlink to relative so that linux binary can read it.
Bump PKGREVISION.
disable the Nagle algorithm in the host-side connection. Either
the VM is already doing Nagle, in which case there is no point
in doing it twice, or it has chosen to disable it, in which case
we should respect that choice. This change speeds up GDB remote
debugging over TCP over user mode networking by multiple orders
of magnitude.
* libXp was used by Xaw8, but it had been obsolated, and in pkgsrc,
x11/libXaw/buildlink3.mk had been switched to pick up Xaw7 by default.
* With x11/xorg-cf-files, libXp was offered with XawClientLibs,
but updated to 1.0.4, it was removed.
* And pkgsrc had been switched to use always xorg-cf-files and imake from pkgsrc,
so all platforms should not require libXp from libXaw with Imake.
Bump PKGREVISION.
v1.03:
pecompat: New app
uips: Fixed a bug that caused bytes near the end of the file to be unnecessarily included in the .ips patch
cdpatch: Combining -f and -v now lists all errors, while still ignoring them
cdpatch: -x option now preserves modification time when possible
* Add patch for configure.ac, for making potential ethernet support easier.
Changelog:
2012/03/23 - version 0.9.13 released
A couple of important bugfixes accumulated in last few days:
o USB NatFeat doesn't fail to claim devices in certain cases
o MPFR FPU got fix for restarting of instructions after access error
o JIT CPU version should work even when compiled with newer compilers
o update your mmusetup.cnf in MiNT setup for larger FastRAM (see
provided atari/mmusetup.cnf that is set for 512 MB FastRAM now)
2012/03/19 - version 0.9.12 released
New features:
o MPFR based new precise FPU emulation core. Somewhat slower than the
normally used IEEE or UAE FPU emulation cores (about 5 times)
but should be totally complete and precise. Enabled in Linux binary
MMU builds (aranym-mmu). Hopefully Debian-m68k developers will enjoy it
:-)
o USB NatFeat fully usable: http://wiki.aranym.org/manual#usb
With a FreeMiNT driver you can access your USB flash discs from
the Atari side easily. First enter the SETUP GUI and plug in
the desired USB device. The USB support is compiled in by default
in all linux binary packages.
o NF Clipboard implemented newly for BeOS
o "aranym --version" will now list the built-in FPU core and also all
NatFeats that are compiled in.
Bugfixes:
o memleaks in various files
o blitter memmove fix
o MacOSX project fixes
o small 64bit fixes in nfcdrom
o aliasing issue fixes (in nfosmesa that is not compiled in)
o CPU CAS+CAS2 instructions - several very important fixes!
o some little fixes for newer GCCs in various files
o RPM spec file updated for Fedora, openSUSE and Mandriva. Give
rpmbuild -tb aranym_0.9.12.orig.tar.gz a try!
2011/02/06 - version 0.9.11 released
New features: SCC serial port emulation and USB NatFeat support.
BeOS/Haiku port: fixes and improvements.
MMU emulation: fix for initialization and FPU registers.
Video: fix (refresh palette when switching from true color to bitplane
mode) and an improvement (use current fullscreen size if fixed size is 0x0).
shipping symlinks into /usr/share/automake-1.11 instead of copies of
various semi-standard gnuish files, including some scripts needed by
the build.
Remove the patch that causes the build to try to run things direct
from ${PREFIX}/share/automake-1.11, as that's not the way things are
supposed to be done in a buildlink universe. However, adding a bl3.mk
to automake to allow using this stuff is itself wrong.
So instead, work around this mess by adding a post-extract hack that
deletes the symlinks and replaces them with the actual files from
automake.
Also, add a build dependence on automake so the files are actually
there when we try to reference them. (hi reinoud!)
No revbump needed as the package didn't build.
Grumble.

Happy 15th Anniversary! Over its 15 years of existence since MAME
0.01 was released for MS-DOS with an initial library of 5 sets, MAME
has grown exponentially to the point that no one thought we would be,
boasting 18,650 different sets and operable on more OS platforms than
thought possible. While video-based arcade games were the original
targets for MAME, the scope of the project has grown to include
documentation of virtually all coin-operated amusement devices
including gambling (video/slots), coin droppers, pinball machines and
more. Through the efforts of the literally thousands of developers,
players and others who have provided assistance and feedback over the
project's history, we would like to thank all of them that made this
possible!

Changelog:
Version 1.6.0 (2012-01-01):
---------------------------
The Hatari project has been moved from hatari.berlios.de to
http://hatari.tuxfamily.org/. Please update all bookmarks!
Emulation:
- More accurate FDC emulation (correct status bits and commands' timings,
DMA transfer by blocks of 16 bytes, floppy change detection). This should
fix a lot of non working games
- More accurate microwire clock emulation
- SCSI class 1 (ICD) command support for drives > 1 GB
- Improved color conversion table so that colors are a little bit brighter
- Improve shifter (add another method to do 4 pixel hardware scrolling,
better emulation for 0 byte blank line)
- Some fixes to the IKBD emulation
- Better filters and model for sound emulation
- Correct VBL timings in TT monochrome (double clicking works now)
- More cycle accurate Falcon DSP <-> CPU emulation. All the demos that
needed 32Mhz CPU with the old CPU core in Hatari v1.5, work now at
correct 16Mhz with the WinUAE CPU core
- 030 MMU emulation with the WinAUE CPU core
Emulator:
- Switch to ST mode when using TOS <= 1.04
- Replace "--slowfdc" with "--fastfdc" option and default to fast FDC being OFF
- "--fast-boot" option to initialize "memvalid" system variables to
by-pass the memory test of TOS, so that the system boots faster
- "--force-max" option to force Hatari use specified maximum resolution
to avoid window size changes messing up Hatari video recording
- "--desktop-st" option to keep desktop resolution also for ST/STE modes
(unfortunately without scaling besides the low-res doubling)
- GEMDOS HD emulation:
- Allow drives up to Z: (not Y:)
- Unique name for each partition
- Warn user when using too old TOS version
- Dfree() reports host disk total and free size if they're below
value understood by TOS and unlike earlier, it forwards Dfree()
requests for other (IDE/ACSI image) partitions to TOS
- Debugger improvements:
- "history" command to list instructions executed before entering
debugger
- each trace output line is flushed to avoid it being buffered
- Fixed behavior of the Caps Lock key
Other changes:
- Fixes to Hatari UI Hatari window embedding
- Latest Linux sfdisk is borked so atari-hd-image script creates
HD image partition table now itself (experimental)
- Windows needs also HOMEDRIVE for full home path in case Hatari
isn't installed on C:, bug 18297
- Minor fixes
Fixed Demos :
Overscan Demos and Shforstv.exe by Paulo Simoes (black line at top),
ACF - Just Bugging (FDC), Delirious Demo IV (FDC, shifter),
Overdrive Demos - Snirkel Screen (IKBD), Oxygene - Stniccc2000 (FDC),
Cream - Madness (FDC)
Fixed Games :
Superior 65 - Super Monaco GP, DBug 24 - Knightmare, Pompey Pirates 27 - X-Out,
Fuzion 32 - Pang, Fuzion 108 - The Simpson, Fuzion 40 - Super Grand Prix,
Fuzion 46 - Warlock, Fuzion 51 - Navy Seals, Fuzion 61 - Gods, Fuzion 78 -
Carmen Sandiego, Fuzion 82 - Flight Of The Intruder, Fuzion 83 - RBI Baseball 2,
Fuzion 102 - Exile, PP46 - Yolanda, Medway Boys 15 - Murders In Venice,
Medway Boys 83 - Yogi Bear, BBC 2 - Platoon, BBC 39 - The Deep, Superior 71 - The
Running Man, Adrenaline 24 - Demon Blue, Superior 93 - Alien Storm
Fixed Misc Programs :
Procopy 1.50, Terminators Copy 1.68, maxYMizer (caps lock key)
Version 1.5.0 (2011-07-19):
---------------------------
Emulation:
- Alternative CPU core based on WinUAE for more accurate future
HW interaction emulation (see readme.txt on how to enable it)
- Use precise clocks values (as described in Atari's official schematics)
for better video/dma audio synchronisation (e.g. More Or Less Zero by DHS)
- DSP:
- Some DSP-timing sensitive Falcon demos that by luck happened to work
with Hatari v1.4, don't work anymore in v1.5 with the default UAE CPU
core. This is because while DSP cycle accuracy has been improved,
the default UAE CPU core isn't fully cycle accurate. The experimental
WinUAE core is needed to run them
- Undocumented 2 bit shift special case for DSP SSI <-> crossbar exchanges
in hanshake mode with 32 Mhz clock (fixes DSP MP2 player used in many
demos & programs, but that requires also using WinUAE core)
- Sound improvements:
- Major rewrite and accuracy improvements in STE DMA sound, including
emulation of the 8 bytes FIFO, giving results nearly identical to
a real STE (e.g. HexTracker by Paulo Simoes)
- Improved precision in sound emulation, with nearly no rounding errors
over successive VBL (correct sound latency on US TOS running at 60 Hz)
- By default mix 3 YM voices using a lookup table of values
measured on real STF to improve digisound (e.g. Flashback demo sound)
- Remove old ST Sound's code used for tone and noise step compute
(some low period values were not correctly emulated)
- Video emulation on STF/STE:
- On STE, correctly shift display 8 pixels to the left when using
224 bytes overscan
- Add support for spec512 mode in med res (fixes 'Best Part Of The
Creation' in 'Punish Your Machine', 'HighRes Mode' demo by Paradox)
- Correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
in med res overscan (Hatari 1.4 handled only low res, fixes 'No Cooper'
by 1984, 'Best Part Of The Creation' by Delta Force)
- Precisely emulate the number of frames per sec (eg 50.053 fps in PAL
instead of the usual 50 Hz)
Emulator:
- Atari program given as argument to Hatari will be automatically
started after TOS boots. GEMDOS hard disk directory can now be
give also as an argument, not just as a (-d) option
- TOS4 or --machine falcon option use enables DSP emulation now
(follow them with --dsp none to disable DSP emulation)
- Memory state saving and restoring fixes, especially for Falcon
- Crossbar state is included -> state file ABI break
- AVI recording options can be set in the new [Video] config file section
- AVI recording supports non integer frame rates.
- Falcon/TT Videl/hostscreen improvements:
- New setting/option for using Desktop resolution & scaling
in fullscreen instead of changing the resolution. On by default
- User's desktop size is used as max limit for Videl zooming.
Requires SDL >= 1.2.10
- Videl resolution change is done immediately, not 3 VBLs late
- Fix issues in switching between same sized VDI & TT resolutions
- SDL GUI improvements:
- DSP can be disabled from the GUI without needing to restart Hatari
- Disk access LED and desktop-resolution options
- AVI video length (mins:secs) is shown in titlebar during recording
- Option for cropping statusbar from videos & screenshots
- Fileselector scrollbar can be used with mouse
- YM mixing method selection
- Debugging improvements:
- New disassembler with more Motorola like syntax
- CPU & DSP "disasm" and "memdump" commands accept register & symbol
names in addition to numeric addresses / address ranges
- Option to disable Falcon mic
("--mic off" is needed for Mudflap debugging)
- "--run-vbls" can be set also at run-time
- "--bios-intercept" can be toggled from debugger (not just enabled)
- BIOS CON: output is converted to ASCII and redirected to host console
with the --bios-intercept option
- Support for tracing DSP, Videl and Crossbar
- Support for tracing AES calls. VDI calls can now be traced
also without using an extended VDI resolution
- BIOS/XBIOS/GEMDOS/VDI/AES/Line-A/Line-F opcode breakpoint support
- TEXT, DATA and BSS variables for addresses of corresponding segments
in currently loaded program
- "aes", "vdi" and "gemdos" subcommands for "info". Without arguments
they will output information about corresponding OS part state,
with (a non-zero) argument, opcode/call name table is shown.
"video" subcommand for showing video related information.
"cookiejar" subcommand for showing cookiejar contents.
- "file" subcommand to "lock" that executes debugger commands from
given file when debugger is entered (or ":lock" breakpoint is hit)
- ":lock" option to breakpoints that will show (without stopping the
emulation) the same output as what's shown on entering the debugger
- ":file" option to breakpoints that executes the commands from
given file when the breakpoint is hit. This can be used to chain
debugger actions
- multiple breakpoints options can be specified per breakpoint
- parenthesis in "evaluate" command are used to indicate memory
accesses (instead of operator precedence like earlier)
- DSP and CPU code profiling functionality. Provides statistics about
profiled code (executed code address ranges, max and total counts
and cycles), lists addresses/instructions taking most cyles and if
symbols are loaded, what were the most used symbol addresses.
- Profiling information is also shown in disassembly output
Other changes:
- hmsa tool can create empty disk images in addition to converting
disks between ST & MSA formats
- Minimal hatari-tos-register.sh Linux init script (example)
to register Hatari as binfmt_misc handler/runner for TOS programs
- hatari-console.py renamed to hconsole.py, documented and made extensible
(hconsole is command line Python interface for Hatari remote API)
- Support for plain Makefiles removed (except for internal tests),
only CMake is used for configuring and building Hatari
- CMake doesn't require anymore working C++, C-compiler is enough
* Remove deprecated CONFIGURE_ARGS.
* For fixing build, --enable-instrumentation is commented out.
Changelog:
* All CPU options are defined in bochsrc, not in build stage.
* Many improvements.
v1.28 <- v1.27
* ROM loader can now use libarchive when available for decompression. This
replaces the previous system()-based implementation.
* "tobin" has been renamed "dgen_tobin" and no longer has dependencies on
SDL and other unnecessary libraries.
* CZ80: fixed emulation bug ("weird sound") introduced just before the 1.27
release.
* Improved CZ80/MZ80 switching.
* Improved save file handling. Z80 context and other important things are now
stored. The format is mostly compatible with Gens v5 and save states can be
exchanged between both emulators. Old save files are still supported.
* YM2612: upgraded from version 0.35f to 1.4b, as found in Final Burn Alpha.
Sound quality has improved as a result.
* Improved sound buffer management again, a single buffer is now used with
both channels instead of two separate buffers.
* Removed 8-bit sound output format since it was useless and annoying to
support with the new buffer.
* Removed superfluous window resizing messages.
* Game Genie codes can now be entered while in stopped mode to avoid crashes
when more than one is needed at once. Also, DGen now supports RAM patching.
* Corrected clock frequencies for YM2612 and SN76496, sound is pitched a bit
higher than before.
* Added region selection command-line option. This option reuses "-R"
(realtime priority). In case this option isn't given, the default region
used by DGen is now the first found in the ROM header. This option has no
effect on PAL (50Hz) mode which needs to be enabled separately.
* OpenGL: a single OpenGL texture (and subtexture) is now used instead of two
smaller ones, thus removing some of the complexity.
* Usual batch of miscellaneous bugfixes.
v1.27 <- v1.26
* Documentation clean-up, sample.dgenrc update.
* Compilation fixes for MZ80.
* When both Musashi and StarScream are available, default to Musashi since
it provides better emulation.
* Imported CZ80 0.91. This Z80 emulator is pure C and works better than the C
version of MZ80. This means that on non-x86/32 bit hardware, games that
previously didn't have sound now work properly (Sonic 2 for instance).
Thanks to DGen PSP which implemented CZ80 first.
* Modified CZ80 to work properly on big-endian machines.
* When both CZ80 and MZ80 are available, CZ80 is now the default.
* DGen can now be compiled without any external modules. MZ80, CZ80, Musashi
and StarScream can all be disabled.
* There's now a toggle key (F10 by default) to switch between MZ80, CZ80 or
neither.
* The Musashi/StarScream toggle key can now disable them both.
* New rc variables for selecting default emulators.
* FPS are now calculated every second for a more accurate message at exit.
* Implemented bool_show_carthead.
* Game Genie codes can now be entered interactively by pressing F9. They can
also be disabled by re-entering them.
* Various other fixes.
v1.26 <- v1.25
* Upgraded Musashi from 2.0 to 3.3.1. This version solves various emulation
problems.
* Reworked autoconf and automake scripts to improve readability and
portability.
* Added support for MinGW. DGen can now run in Windows.
* Fixed messy border again, this time for all video color depths.
* OpenGL: added bool_opengl_aspect to keep the original aspect ratio during
resizing. This option is enabled by default.
* Added support for 24 bpp (3 Bpp) mode.
* Made Crap TV filters available for all architectures, color depths and
OpenGL.
* OpenGL: fixed GL_LINEAR support so it can be used again instead of
GL_NEAREST, one can switch between them with bool_opengl_linear
(enabled by default).
* Refactored the main loop and SDL code for a smooth frame rate with an
improved sound synchronization.
* Made a wrapper to open and create files relative to user's home directory
in a system-independant manner.
* Fixed Z80 speed in NTSC mode, sound effects were abnormally high pitched.
* Improved FPS counter.
* Removed SIGALRM for improved portability.
* OpenGL: now enabled by default when available.
* MZ80: fixed segfault on reset.
* OpenGL: use 16 bpp mode internally instead of 32, allow textures to be 16
(default) or 32 bit with bool_opengl_32bit.
* OpenGL: added bool_opengl_swap to byte-swap colors when the host computer
endianness is not the same as the ouptut (possible with X11 sessions).
* Screenshots are now generated from the internal video buffer as TARGA files
so they are available in all modes (OpenGL or not) and depths (except 8 bpp,
as usual). Their output directory is ~/.dgen/screenshots.
* OpenGL: the message bar now spans both textures.
* Improved stopped mode to be less easily unstopped and to avoid dropping
frames. Also, it now accepts resizes and refreshes.
* Added the -H option to tweak emulation speed. Can be used to run 50Hz games
at 60Hz.
v1.25 <- v1.24
* Added 64 bits targets support, DGen can now run on those.
* Minor fix for joystick/joypad when sizeof(int) != sizeof(long).
* Fixed messy border issue (garbage on the right of the screen).
* OpenGL: worked around the vertical dark line between textures.
* OpenGL: the visible area now takes the entire window (except for the
status line). No more borders.
* OpenGL: the window can now be resized/rescaled at runtime.
* Fixed bug in which SDL-specific fields in dgenrc were not taken into
account when no command-line option was given.
* Replaced dgenrc parser with a better one. It breaks compatibility a
little with the previous version because special characters now need to
be escaped or put between quotation marks.
* Improved configure and Makefiles for proper SDL/OpenGL detection,
better dependencies in parallel builds, NASM's presence on x86 targets
which shouldn't be mandatory and various other things.
* Fixed many crashes.
* Removed many compilation warnings.
v1.24 <- v1.23
* Fixed compilation on GCC 4.
distinction between host and guest addresses and 64-bit host addresses
give it fits.
If anyone wants to try making it work, let me know as I have partial
patches.
support for it. There is ostensibly alpha support so it might be
possible to make it work (although the number of cast warnings I see
makes me dubious) but it certainly isn't going to get fixed anytime
soon.
2011-04-01 Philip Kendall <philip-fuse@shadowmagic.org.uk>
* Fuse 1.0.0.1a released.
* Remove all ROMs for which there isn't explicit permission to
distribute (Philip Kendall).

System Driver Changes:
----------------------
- atarist: Palette registers then to show the unused bits as 1,
causing line-f exceptions when you run on them [O. Galibert]
- atarist: Add some bus errors in appropriate places
(there are still a bunch of them missing though) [O. Galibert]
- Fix the Intellivision II memory map so the second chunk of
executive rom actually appears in the cpu address space. oops.
Should fix a bunch of games which are supposed to work on intv2
not working. [Lord Nightmare]

according to the datasheet) rather than storing the segment
contents in ram. This makes the DL1416 device act more like
the real chip, where on power-up you see random but
recognizable characters, rather than random gibberish.
Note there's a lot of code duplication to check cursor
state and invalid/blank crap which can probably either go
behind a define or be its own function, or into the display
wrapper function itself. [Lord Nightmare]

Added tables from vlm5030 as verified by decap from ogoun. Adapted
vlm5030 to use the tms5xxx common tables file. Some details have yet
to be worked out for certain (how exactly the reflection coefficients

[ogoun, Lord Nightmare, The Dumping Union]
Adjusted the VLM5030 K3 thru K10 coefficients to be based not on
reading the K2 rom but based on the index itself <<6 or 7. This makes
the games sound much better and explains the very small ram size used
for coefficients other than K1 and K2. This needs further
investigation and figuring out of the die schematic to settle
completely. [Lord Nightmare]

cdrom: convert Mode 1 Form 1 sectors to Mode 1 raw if requested
[R. Belmont]
Added byuu's cothread library, along with a wrapper class. Switched to
using one cothread for each executable device. This functionality is
strictly internal and should result in no changes in scheduling
behavior. However, it now becomes possible to exit out of a device's
execution in the midst of an instruction by calling
machine().scheduler().make_active(). Note that this is somewhat
dangerous for cores that have logic at the start of their execute loop
to check for interrupts or other conditions, as those checks will be
skipped upon resume, so consider this sort of early exiting to be
highly experimental for now. [Aaron Giles, Miodrag Milanovic, byuu]
(Please Note: cothread usage is behind a compile-time define as per now,
they will be reenabled in the next dev cycle)
Convert Namco C352 to modern C++ device [R. Belmont]

complete, but all supported programs only use the default mode.
[J.Wallace]
Changed clock frequencies in High Video games to match what should be
the correct OKI chip frequencies - those familiar with the boards may
wish to confirm this is correct, as I couldn't find the clock signal

- MDEC is now an internal device of the PlayStation CPU;
- Root counter & Serial I/O converted to internal CPU devices;
- Moved PlayStation IRQ code to sub device of the CPU;
Switch input ports to use function-based constructors instead of
tokens. Remove the old tokenizing helpers. Add basic classes for
ports, fields, settings, and dip locations as a first step. These will
be fully cleaned up later. Added machine() method to field to hide all
the necessary indirection. Changed custom/changed handlers into
generic read/write handlers, and added wrappers to convert them to
device read/write lines. [Aaron Giles]
Changed input read/write and crosshair callbacks into delegates.
Changed signature for callbacks to take an input_field_config
reference instead of pointer. [Aaron Giles]
Removed legacy trampolines from eeprom_device, taking advantage of new

mc6845.c: Converted to C++. [Wilbert Pol]
Fixed the disassembly of the "mov ax, mem" instructions (opcodes A0-
A3) in the i386 and NEC disassemblers. The argument (the memory

Implemented experimental HLSL post-processing support on Direct3D 9
targets. [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* 5-pass post-processing: Upscale, Post-Process, Store Last Frame,
Defocus 1, Defocus 2
* Many tunable effects including: Scanlines, defocus, linear
deconvergence, radial deconvergence, pincushion, RGB colorspace
convolution, YIQ colorspace convolution, saturation, simulated dot
crawl, simulated chroma subsampling, aperture masking, and more.
* Requires a GPU that supports Shader Model 3.0 to be enabled and a
powerful GPU, the entire pipeline consists of approximately 30
texel fetches and approximately 230 arthimetic ops.
* Will supersample the framebuffer up to 9x in both X and Y, but this
requires an enormously powerful GPU that has not been invented;
users with Radeon 5000-class cards should limit themselves to 3x,
Radeon 4000 to 1.5x.
* The default configuration will NOT appear to do anything; it
requires tuning to the user's liking.
* Should nicely fall back in all cases except missing shaders, and it
might fall back correctly in that case as well. Report any
anomalies.
- For obvious reasons, the Direct3D8 renderer cannont support this.

privilege checks. [Carl]
i86 - Fixed shift instructions, helps detecting proper CPU [Miodrag
Milanovic]

[Miodrag Milanovic]
Major clean-up and state machine conversion for the Sega ST-V / Saturn
driver [Angelo Salese]
HLSL Updates [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment]
* Split color convolution and deconvergence into separate shaders for
potential GPU savings down the line
* Added light and heavy variants of the color convolution shader, the
former with YIQ colorspace removed
* Re-worked defocus to occur prior to shadow mask application, as it
would be on a real monitor.
* Split "pincushion" into "Pincushion" and "Screen Curvature", the
former affecting the only the displayed image and the latter only
affecting the shadow mask.
* Made major fixes to CVBS simulation, significantly increasing color
saturation
* Added magnet deconvergence via a shader uniform
* Improved phosphorescence
* Improved YIQ codec
* Added adjustable color carrier in YIQ processing mode.
* Fixed resolution-change crash and likely D3D performance regression
with -nohlsl on low-spec cards
* Created a new OSD function, osd_get_slider_list, which allows
OS-specific slider controls.
HLSL Post-Processing Updates: [Ryan Holtz, Bat Country Entertainment, cgwg]
* The defocus pass is now switched off when defocus_x and defocus_y
are zero, allowing finer-grained performance tuning.
* Removed YIQ convolution from the main color-convolution shader and
replaced it with a full composite encode/decode pass. This is slower,
but looks amazing(ly like a terrible TV) and can be turned off.
* More authentic NTSC dot crawl and bandwidth limiting.

Added support for default NVRAM in MCCS1850. [Curt Coder]
Various Irem M92 / M107 fixes [Alex Jackson]
* Hooked up sound CPU interrupts properly, using the V35 builtin
interrupt controller, rather than generating the vectors in the
driver.
* Cleaned up ROM mirroring, using AM_REGION macros in the address
maps instead of memcpy()ing all over the place in the
DRIVER_INITs.
* Converted bankswitching to use configured banks. Only configure the
banks and install the bankswitch WRITE_HANDLER in the games that
actually use it (i.e. those with a full megabyte of program ROM).
This and the previous change make the drivers a lot less confusing
to look at... I hope.
* Converted both drivers to use a scanline timer device instead of a
hand-rolled one.
* Added save state support to m92.c. Everything necessary was already
saved, I just had to add the tag. However, presumably due to the
core emu_timer breakage (MT 4330, 4331) the save states don't
actually work at the moment. I've already reported this as MT
#4333
* Added GAME_MECHANICAL tag to wpksoc and clone

upd7725.c: Implementation of the p0 and p1 output bits as device
lines; preliminary implementation of INT input line. [Lord Nightmare]
Replaced mamedriv.c with a new driver list mechanism that is generated
by the build tools. The emulator core now expects the presence of a
file called src/$(TARGET)/$(SUBTARGET).lst which is just a raw list of
driver names, one per line. C and C++ comments are still permitted.
This file is parsed by a new build tool makelist which extracts the
driver names, sorts them, and generates a file called drivlist.c,
which is consumed by the core. [Aaron Giles]
Added new osdcore function osd_malloc_array() which is identical to
osd_malloc() but obviously hints that the underlying allocation is for
an array. Updated all callers to use the appropriate form. Modified
the Windows allocator to only use guard pages for array-style
allocations, allowing us to enable them once again in debug builds.
[Aaron Giles]
Created new static class driver_list to wrap accesses to the list of
available drivers. Improved speed of driver lookups by relying on the
presorting done by makelist. [Aaron Giles]
Created helper class driver_enumerator as a helper for iterating
through the list of drivers. This class supports basic filtering and
iteration, and also serves as a temporary cache of machine_configs.
[Aaron Giles]
Created cli_frontend object to wrap all the CLI handling code in
clifront.c. Updated/simplified all the code to take advantage of the
driver_enumerator. [Aaron Giles]
Created media_auditor object to wrap all the auditing functions in
audit.c. Updated all users to the new interface. Note that the new
auditing mechanism is slightly out of sync with the romload code in
terms of finding ROMs owned by devices, so it may mis-report some
issues until the new ROM loading code is in. [Aaron Giles]
Added concept of a per-device searchpath. For most devices, their
searchpath is just the short name of the device. For driver_devices,
the searchpath is driver[;parent[;bios]]. This searchpath will
eventually be used by the rom loader to find ROMs. For now it is used
by the media auditor only. [Aaron Giles]
Created info_xml_creator object to wrap all the info generation
functions in info.c. Converted the file to C++ and cleaned up the
input processing code. [Aaron Giles]
model2.c: Corrected the revision level for Top Skater (USA) set
[The Dumping Union]

Added "Mandatory artwork is missing" error [Oliver St
Implemented 16-bit device callbacks. [Curt Coder]
Fix loading fonts on MacOSX. [Couriersud]
Delegates 2.0 implementation. Resdesigned how delegates work to make
them more flexible and simpler to use. Got rid of the proto_delegates
altogether in favor of supporting delegates that are bound to NULL
objects. Added a front-end template that supports "natural" syntax
favored by libraries like boost. Added support for static functions
that take reference parameters instead of pointer parameters for the
object type. Updated all delegate users in the system to the new
syntax. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the DIRECT_UPDATE_HANDLER to take a machine reference like
everything else in the system. Updated all users. [Aaron Giles]
Changed the FUNC() macro to automatically put an & in front of the
item passed. In general this works transparently, however it does have
the nice side-effect of catching situations where a variable is passed
instead of a function name. Fixed those cases to push the naming
upstream so that the name is now provided properly. Also added a
FUNC_NULL macro since FUNC(NULL) no longer works. [Aaron Giles]
tms5220.c: partially fixed perfect interpolation hack, disabled by
default. [Lord Nightmare]
segas24: Start untangling the Vogon poetry Atari Ace left is his wake.
Apply the new timing implementation per cgfm's analysis. Gain ground
is going to be stuck in free play mode. [O. Galibert]
tms5220.c: fixed perfect interpolation hack the rest of the way, now
it works as it did before 0.140 or so. [Lord Nightmare]
tms5220.c: improve perfect interpolation hack slightly, should be less
noisy after inhibit frames. [Lord Nightmare]

Devices
IDE / AHCI
Added emulation layer for an ICH-9 AHCI controller (not yet stable). Tested with Linux, OpenBSD, Windows Vista and Windows 7. The AHCI emulation supports NCQ, so multiple read or write requests can be outstanding at the same time.
to use it, use the following command line snippet: -drive id=disk,file=<your image goes here>,if=none -device ahci,id=ahci -device ide-drive,drive=disk,bus=ahci.0
SCSI
Various bug fixes, no new features.
USB
Added USB support for remote wakeup, allowing the guest to suspend the USB bus when idle, which in turn reduces the CPU overhead of an idle machine.
The USB subsystem also got a bunch of patches to prepare it for USB 2.0 support.
virtio
virtio-pci can use ioeventfd for virtqueue notify. On systems that support KVM, the ioeventfd mechanism can be used to make virtqueue notify a lightweight exit by deferring hardware emulation to the iothread and allowing the VM to continue execution. This model is similar to how vhost receives virtqueue notifies. The result of this change is improved performance for userspace virtio devices. Virtio-blk throughput increases especially for multithreaded scenarios and virtio-net transmit throughput increases substantially. Read the commit message for more details.
Various fixes and stabilization for live-migration:
Various virtio-net improvements:
Make tx_timer timeout configurable
Limit number of packets sent per TX flush
Introduce a new bottom half packet TX
Fix cross-endianness support
PCI/PCI Express
Improved PCI Express support and functionalities with the implementation of:
flr (Function Level Reset)
aer (Advanced Error Reporting) and other improvements
A new monitor command to inject errors into the PCI bus: pcie_aer_inject_error
Implementation of Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI/MSI-X) support
Separation of the PCI bridge code from the main PCI code.
Sound
New Intel HD Audio support, adding three new devices:

Block Drivers
qcow2
Added a writeback metadata cache. This improves performance of scenarios with lots of cluster allocations noticably (e.g. installation or after taking a snapshot), in some benchmarks by a factor of ten or more. Use cache=none or cache=writeback to take advantage from this change.
Copy snapshots out of QCOW2 disk, eg: qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 -s snapshot_name src_img bck_img
Zero-copy read and write operations
Other fixes and code cleanups:
qcow2: Invalidate cache after failed read
block: Allow bdrv_flush to return errors
qcow2: Simplify image creation
qcow2: Fixes unaligned access on IA64
qed
Introduction of the QEMU Enhanced Disk (qed) image format. It is a disk image format that forgoes features found in qcow2 in favor of better levels of performance and data integrity. Due to its simpler on-disk layout, it is possible to safely perform metadata updates more efficiently.
More information about qed: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/QED
Initial thread discussion: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-09/msg00310.html
ceph/rbd
Introduction of the new ceph/rbd block driver. RBD is an block driver for the distributed file system Ceph.
More information about ceph: http://ceph.newdream.net/
nbd
Improve qemu-nbd performance by 4400 %. This patch combines the reply header and payload send operation.
Introduce NBD named exports.
Spice
New support for the SPICE protocol. The project main focus is to provide high-quality remote access to QEMU virtual machines. More information about SPICE can be found at the project's web site: http://spice-space.org/
New qxl device. qxl is a paravirtual graphics card. The qxl device is the bridge between the guest and the spice server (aka libspice-server). The spice server will send the rendering commands to the spice client, which will actually render them. The spice server is also able to render locally, which is done in case the guest wants read something from video memory. Local rendering is also used to support display over vnc and sdl. qxl is activated using -vga qxl. qxl supports multihead, additional cards can be added via '-device qxl.
Relevant commits:
spice: core bits
spice: add keyboard
spice: add mouse
spice: simple display
spice: add tablet support
spice: tls support
spice: make compression configurable.
spice: add config options for channel security.
spice: add config options for the listening address
spice: add misc config options
spice: add audio
spice: add qxl device
spice: connection events.
QMP / monitor
TODO: QMP is now stable, except for error reporting?
The work to facilitate the management of QEMU instances has been improved. QMP has received various fixes. Now it is possible to call a traditional monitor command through QMP, in case your application depends on the output or the command is not yet ported to QMP.
New commands:
query-spice / info spice
human-monitor-command
set_password
drive_del
block_resize command, allowing resizing of block devices while qemu is running. For virtio-blk the size is updated automatically when this command is issued on the host. IDE is not supported. For SCSI devices the new size can be updated in Linux guests by doing the following shell command:
echo > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan
Tracing
Introduction of platform-independent tracing, more information about it: http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Tracing
Documentation and tutorial: http://git.qemu.org/qemu.git/plain/docs/tracing.txt
Some relevant commits:
Add trace-events file for declaring trace events
Add a DTrace tracing backend targetted for SystemTAP compatibility
Add LTTng Userspace Tracer backend
Add simple built-in tracing backend
Add stderr trace-event backend:
Support for dynamically enabling/disabling trace events
Specify trace file name
Add trace-file command to open/close/flush trace file
Other stuff
Extend -option-rom command to have additional parameter bootindex
Little endian / big endian MMIO framework. Until now, most devices had special hacks to allow them to work on big and little endian systems (ppc / x86). With that framework, they should mostly work with both and not require and device specific hacks anymore.
Changes in 1.3.24:
* Various DirectInput improvements.
* Support for line breaking in Uniscribe.
* More UI elements in builtin Shell Explorer.
* Some more D3DX9 functions.
* Improved support for shell known folders.
* Various bug fixes.
Changes in 1.3.23:
* Support for stubless COM proxies on x86-64.
* Builtin dxdiag now outputs real information.
* Monochrome bitmap format in the DIB engine.
* Beginnings of a true shell Explorer builtin.
* A number of new D3DX9 functions.
* More support for Indic text shaping.
* Various bug fixes.
3.4 to 3.4.1: (June 11, 2011)
* Re-enabled 'grabmouse' commandline argument and associated
functionality with the following changes:
- it is changed in the "Input Settings' UI, not in 'Video Settings'
- it only has meaning while in emulation mode
- it is enabled by default
* Fixed bug with emulation of paddles using the mouse most evident in
Warlords; movement was being filtered out if the mouse was moved too
fast. There's still more work required in this area, however.
* Fixed bug with analog axes on gamepad devices, whereby jittering in
these axes would override input from digital axis, hat or keyboard
input.
* Fixed bug when switching to the debugger and back again would
sometimes cause an extra mouse motion event (which would cause the
emulation to think the mouse was moved and move the player
accordingly).
* Tweaked bankswitch autodetection code for 4A50 bankswitching; several
more test ROMs are automatically detected.
* The 'saverom' debugger command now saves ROMs in your home
directory by default if you don't specify a valid path. This fixes
a bug whereby ROMs were saved in strange locations and couldn't later
be found.
* Fixed bug in automatically executing the debugger 'autoexec.stella'
file; any commands it contained weren't actually being executed.
* Zero-byte ROMs are no longer loaded and mis-detected as Supercharger
images.
3.3 to 3.4: (May. 29, 2011)
* Many improvements to input handling, particularly with the mouse and
paddles:
- The mouse can now be used to emulate a joystick, booster-grip or
driving controller.
- The mouse now controls only one device at a time (1 of 4 paddles,
1 of 2 joysticks, etc), instead of devices from both virtual ports.
- The sensitivity for digital and mouse input (for paddles) can now
be set separately with the 'dsense' and 'msense' commandline
arguments, and from within the Input Settings UI.
* Added support for the 2600-daptor device (2600-daptor.com), which is
similar to a Stelladaptor but improves handling of paddles. Thanks
go to Tom Hafner for a complimentary test sample of this device.
* Added new controller types 'Paddles_IAxis', 'Paddles_IDir', and
'Paddles_IAxDr', which invert the paddle axis, direction, and
axis+direction, respectively. These are used for certain ROMs
that have the axis or direction inverted from normal (for example,
using the paddles causes on onscreen object to move up and down vs.
left and right). All applicable ROMs in the internal database
have been updated.
* Added preliminary support for emulating ARM code to the DPC+
bankswitching scheme (thanks to Batari). Related to this, fatal
errors in the DPC+ ARM code are now caught and shown in the debugger.
* Updated internal ROM properties database to ROM-Hunter version 6
(thanks go to RomHunter for his tireless research in this area).
* The ROM audit dialog now automatically selects the current
directory in the ROM launcher, and reloads the directory after
the audit is complete.
* Removed the 'grabmouse' functionality; the mouse is now always
grabbed while playing a game, and released otherwise.
* Updated built-in version of the PNG library to the latest version.
* Support for Indic text shaping.
* Generation of stubless code in the IDL compiler.
* Support for X files in D3DX.
* 4- and 24-bit bitmap formats in the DIB engine.
* Listview performance improvements.
* Various bug fixes.
* Support for installation rollbacks in MSI.
* 8- and 16-bit bitmap formats in the DIB engine.
* Fixes in the XInput2 mouse support.
* Better support for text shaping in Uniscribe.
* Improvements to the Item common dialog.
* More MSVC runtime functions.
* Various bug fixes.
* Option to clip the mouse inside fullscreen windows.
* Support for persistent HTTP connections.
* Initial implementation of the XML writer.
* Support for drawing rectangles in the DIB engine.

* Changes in VICE 2.3
======================
** General
----------
- Added x64sc, the accurate C64 emulator:
* VIC-II emulation rewritten from scratch using results from extensive
testing with newly written test programs on real hardware.
* Emulation is done on a cycle by cycle basis combined with pixel exact
dot clock domain handling.
* Accurate handling of all possible in-line splits of VIC-II registers
and graphics data.
* C64 model and even individual chip revisions can be selected for very
detailed emulation of their differences.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in 2.4.1 (June 7, 2009):
- Fixed bunch of CPUID issues
- Bochs is now able to install and boot 64-bit Windows images!
(special thanks to Mark Ebersole for his patch)
- Several bugfixes in CPU emulation (mostly for x87 instructions)
- Fixed two critical deadlock bugs in the Win32 gui (patches from @SF tracker)
- Fixes related to the 'show ips' feature
- removed conflicting win32-specific alarm() functions ('win32' and 'sdl' gui)
- feature now works in wx on win32
- Added support for gdb stub on big endian machine (patch by Godmar Back)
- Rewritten obsolete hash_map code in dbg symbols module (patch from @SF)
- BIOS: implemented missing INT 15h/89h (patch by Sebastian Herbszt)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in 2.4 (May 3, 2009):
Brief summary :
- Added graphical Bochs debugger frontend for most of the supported platforms.
- Thanks for Chourdakis Michael and Bruce Ewing.
- Many new CPU features in emulation
- Support for > 32 bit physical address space and configurable MSRs
- VMX, 1G pages in long mode, MOVBE instruction
- Bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness, debugger and CPU instrumentation.
- New config interface 'win32config' with start and runtime menu
- USB: added OHCI support, external hub and cdrom
- Added user plugin interface support.
Detailed change log :
- CPU and internal debugger
- Support for VMX hardware emulation in Bochs CPU, to enable configure with
--enable-vmx option
Nearly complete VMX implementation, with few exceptions:
- Dual-monitor treatment of SMIs and SMM not implemented yet
- NMI virtualization, APIC virtualization not implemented yet
- VMENTER to not-active state not supported yet
- No advanced features like Extended Page Tables or VPID
- Support for configurable MSR registers emulation, to enable configure with
--enable-configurable-msrs option
Look for configuration example in .bochsrc and msrs.def
- Support new Intel Atom(R) MOVBE instruction, to enable configure with
--enable-movbe option
- Support for 1G pages in long mode, to enable configure with
--enable-1g-pages option
- Support for > 32 bit physical address space in CPU. Up to 36 bit could be
seen in legacy mode (PAE) and up to 40 bit in x86-64 mode.
Still support the same amount of the physical memory in the memory object,
so system with > 4Gb of RAM yet cannot be emulated.
To enable configure with --enable-long-phy-address option.
- Implemented modern BIOSes mode limiting max reported CPUID function
to 3 using .bochsrc CPU option. The mode is required in order to
correctly install and boot WinNT.
- Added ability to configure CPUID vendor/brand strings through .bochsrc
(patch from @SF by Doug Reed).
- Many bugfixes for CPU emulation correctness (both x86 and x86-64).
- Updated CPU instrumentation callbacks.
- Fixed Bochs internal debugger breakpoints/watchpoints handling.
- Configure and compile
- Added ability to choose Bochs log file name and Bochs debugger log file
name from Bochs command line (using new -log and -dbglog options)
- Removed Peter Tattam's closed source external debugger interface from
the code.
- Removed --enable-guest2host-tlb configure option. The option is always
enabled for any Bochs configuration.
- Removed --enable-icache configure option. The option is always enabled
for any Bochs configuration. Trace cache support still remains optional
and could be configured off.
- Added configure option to compile in GUI frontend for Bochs debugger,
to enable configure with --enable-debugger-gui option.
The GUI debugger frontend is enabled by default with Bochs debugger.
- Removed --enable-port-e9-hack configure option. The feature now could be
configured at runtime through .bochsrc.
- Added configure option to enable/disable A20 pin support. Disabling the
A20 pin support slightly speeds up the emulation.
- reduced dependencies between source files for faster code generation
- BIOS
- Added S3 (suspend to RAM) ACPI state to BIOS (patch by Gleb Natapov)
- Implemented MTRR support in the bios (patches by Avi Kivity and Alex
Williamsion with additions by Sebastian Herbszt)
- Bug fixes
- I/O Devices
- Added user plugin support
- remaining devices converted to plugins: pit, ioapic, iodebug
- added 'plugin_ctrl' bochsrc option to control the presence of optional
device plugins without a separate option. By default all plugins are enabled.
- added register mechanism for removable mouse and keyboard devices
- Hard drive / cdrom
- PACKET-DMA feature now supported by all ATAPI commands
- ATAPI command 0x1A added (based on the Qemu implementation)
- sb16
- Added ALSA sound support on Linux (PCM/MIDI output)
- FM synthesizer now usable with MIDI output (simple piano only)
- Fixed OPL frequency to MIDI note translation
- Fixed MIDI output command
- keyboard
- added keyboard controller commands 0xCA and 0xCB
- USB
- USB code reorganized to support more HC types and devices
- added USB OHCI support written by Ben Lunt
- added external USB hub support (initial code ported from Qemu)
- added USB cdrom support (SCSI layer ported from Qemu)
- added status bar indicators to show data transfer
- VGA
- VBE video memory increased to 16 MB
- implemented changeable VBE LFB base address (PCI only, requires latest
BIOS and VGABIOS images)
- I/O APIC
- implemented I/O APIC device hardware reset
- Config interface
- new config interface 'win32config' with start and runtime menu is now
the default on Windows ('textconfig' is still available)
- win32 device config dialogs are now created dynamicly from a parameter list
(works like the wx ParamDialog)
- changes in textcofig and the wx ParamDialog for compatibility with the new
win32 dialog behaviour
- Bochs param tree index keys are case independent now
- some other additions / bugfixes in the simulator interface code
- Misc
- updated LGPL'd VGABIOS to version 0.6c
- Updated Bochs TESTFORM to version 0.4
- SF patches applied
