Another WIP for MAME is out today. There is more work to the debugger, as well as many discrete sound changes:
      General Improvements
    • Fixed Sprint2 watchdog issues
    • Fixed nmg5.c crash
    • Fixed nitrobal inputs
    • Jalmah.c updates
    • Fixed various stuff with the protection in the first version of this HW (perfect color protection emulation,preliminary sound & preliminary tile transfer emulation)
    • Various Sega system 16/18 updates
    • Fixed a bug in the fd1094dp.c and fd1094.c decryption to allow for cotton to be decrypted
    • Added other hyperstone models, converted vamphalf driver to use 16-bit version
    • Discrete Sound Update
      Windows Debugger Updates
    • Fixed some compile errors
    • Added a "PC" register to the I386 core so that it should work in the new debugger
    • Cleaned up stepping code
    • Now refresh the display and all debugger windows after each step while stepping
    • When running with the debugger window open (F5 or 'go'), now update the debugger views 4 times per second
    • Can now break into the debugger even if you are focused on a debugger window
    • Memory/disasm windows now come up with the currently active CPU selected by default
    • Added a new command: focus , which is equivalent to ignoring all other CPUs
    • Changed ignore and observe to support multiple parameters so you can say "ignore 2,3,4"
    • Changed ignore so that you are not allowed to ignore the last CPU
    • Fixed ignore behavior so that other CPUs are truly ignored
    • Fixed register window so that change hilights are maintained during scrolling and updates
    • Changed debug memory accessors so they don't log on invalid memory accesses
    • Tweaked the help text to indicate that help works
    • Added a new text attribute DCA_CURRENT, which is separate from DCA_SELECTED yellow

    • Updated psx core to show more registers
