MAME Source Diff v0.80u3

posted in Emulator News by narvick on Mar 28th, 2004

After only a day, Haze has updated the MAME source with a third interim release, mainly focusing on R. Belmont's updates. What's new:

General Source Changes

CHDCD / Konami GV update
- Preliminary CD-ROM support for CHDMAN. Input is from CDRDAO .toc/.bin images (cdrdao.sourceforge.net). CDRDAO comes with utilities to convert CDRWIN .cue/.bin images to .toc/.bin format
- Intel Flash ROM emulation support
- CDROM emulation primitives, including Red Book audio playback
- CDROM support for the AM53cf96 SCSI controller
- Konami GV System driver. GV System is identical to a home Playstation/PSOne console, except the CD-ROM is SCSI instead of proprietary
Stuff still in progress:
- The SPU emulation needs a lot of help, especially on Wedding Rhapsody. smf is working on it
- The SCSI CD-ROM emulation needs to be separated out from the AM53cf96 if we ever emulate other SCSI controllers or CD-ROM drives
- CHDMAN doesn't output anything usefull when you extract a CHD-CD. It should write out a CDRDAO image
- Audio tracks on CDs are not compressed at present (or more accurately, they're gzip compressed, which is useless). The plan is to use FLAC at some point
