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
