Home Page Forums MAME MAME SVN builds - new driver flood

I could 'only' come up with these 230-or-so games in MAME, along with a few more Namco games using a slightly more upbeat hardware.

Whether or not they are strictly PSX based is another story, I was just cheating a little by using MAWS.

r6242 /src/mess/drivers/act.c: [Apricot Xi]: Emulated basic video HW



Now this is odd: MC6845 sets 640x375, tilemap size is 80x25 and charset is 10x16...obviously, 80x10=800, so right-most columns gets cutted and I don't have any hell of an idea about it.
And...before you ask, no, start address is equal to 0

Heihachi: a MAWS search on PSXCPU is authoritative if you filter out the BIOS sets.

The Mac Plus driver broke with the latest mac driver update, it deadmacs during POST.

I confirm it.

wow. macplus works again in latest svn.

A very fast fix.
Thank you, Arbee.

c'mon, this is an ugly hack.

The LCD persistence isn't a feature of the video chip, and shouldn't be emulated in the driver, it's misleading and wrong. It's a feature of the output screen device and should be emulated as an option in the core like the scanlines etc. If you hooked a gamegear up to a normal monitor somehow you wouldn't see it.

There are plenty of arcade games which flicker graphics to display them as transparent / half-bright (neogeo life-bars come to mind) but it's not up to the driver to simulate that behavior just because the flicker is more obvious on a PC monitor.

Yeah, this should happen in the core if the screen type is set to LCD, and there should be some way for drivers to "opt out" as well. Sega handhelds were notoriously smeary (playing Sonic 2 on a Nomad is a real experience for that reason), but others aren't so we don't want to pin drivers that don't have the effect with it.
