Re: TMS-09xx/1xxx thread (was New Dumps) hap 02/01/23 10:26 AM
Sean has a Bandai Galaxian with a uPD553.

U-Boat: The photo clearly shows it's a TI MCU, and it's probably MP63??, which would mean it's the same type as the one in Tsukuda Dracula.

The usual usage was to patch the driver into ProDOS, at which point everything that runs on ProDOS works with it. For instance, https://github.com/a2stuff/prodos-drivers (or find an original No-Slot Clock disk on Asimov or whatever).

For historical reasons, the objects MAME uses for reading and writing disk images will fill parts of the file that aren’t explicitly written with 0xff. That’s where your padding is coming from. Modern operating systems tend to follow the POSIX recommendation of returning 0x00 for parts of files that are allocated but not written (all WinNT, Linux, macOS and BSD filesystem drivers do this). Older operating systems, of course, just read back whatever happened to be in the sectors that were allocated (e.g. DOS and classic MacOS).

Re: The Newer All-Singing, All-Dancing 2023 WIP Thread Duke 01/29/23 11:57 AM
We have some initial PCMCIA support in MAME, that is used by Konami/Taito systems. I'm currently looking at extending this a bit and adding it to the Amiga driver. Here's a screenshot of an SRAM PCMCIA card on the A600 driver:

I'm currently looking for people owning one of those cards to dump their EEPROM (and document the PCB). The dump I'm working with came from here: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=393062.

Writing to floppies is currently broken, and the emulated system will crash pretty much immediately.

emscripten / emularity & interactive lua console microbee-dev 01/20/23 11:13 AM
I can't seem to get the LUA console working in the browser.

I'm trying to create JS hooks / methods / functions for changing media predominantly, but also things like roms and tape position / status if its possible.

I noticed any disk I've written to, changes are not reflected until the disk is 'ejected'.
I thought that FS.sync might do this but doesn't seem to.

I could (hacky) remove and re-insert the drive whenever saving disk data.



LUA scripting questions: ( exposing webasm / lua console to JS )

1. Is it possible without modifying mame's src?
I could go creating my own hooks but only if there is no current solution.

2. if its possible are there some arguments I'm missing from compiling emcc I don't know about?

3. As I understand it the less desirable way to using lua / hooks is to autoboot a script (which works) and run a main loop.

Thanks in advance.

You never need to copy anything to SYSTEM32, I don't know where people get this idea from. You can just drop the DLLs in the same directory where your EXE is

Re: New dumps Golden Child 01/11/23 02:43 AM
regarding the blw700i LW-700i from awhile back (page 72-73 of this thread), I found a manual for the lw-810 search for ("BROTHER LW-810iC") that has basically the same keyboard matrix:


[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]

Note that the keyboard in the pic is for the US layout but the rom has the UK layout.

Using the Emulated keyboard vs the Natural Keyboard, I can get it to pass the keyboard self test if I hit it in the right sequence.
Interestingly, it doesn't give you much feedback aside from a beep (currently unemulated) if you don't hit the right sequence.

from the main menu screen, hitting CTRL (CODE)+SHIFT+BACKSPACE gives you a self test menu:
also (CODE+SHIFT+ENTER) gives you a self test print.

DECO Cassette - PORT_IMPULSE(1) on Start Buttons Mr. Do 01/08/23 03:37 AM
Noticed this a while back, but never dug into it until today

In the artwork file for decocass... clicking either start button, it just flashes for a second... couldn't figure out why...

Dug through the driver today... it has a flag on the Start Inputs: PORT_IMPULSE(1)...

Read through some more stuff to figure out what it was used for, and I kinda understand it now... but...

I get why it's attached to the Coin input... but don't understand why it's on the Start Buttons also... does something funky happen on DECO Cassette games if you hold the start button down on a real machine?

Re: MAME 0.251 SomeRandomGuyIdk 01/06/23 09:41 PM
No issue with waiting for code review, it's not like that stops me from being able to work on other stuff in the meantime. For the samples I proposed something that should at least be better than the previous solution. There's also the reel outputs which I understand are based on code that's 15-something years old now and could be done a bit better. I don't have anything better in mind for them myself though, still a total noob when it comes to such decisions.

Yeah the bloom will do that when it too high. It even will make the Tempest flash white and then go back to normal.
