Visual PinMAME v3.3 has been released.
What's New:
Version 3.3 (December 24th, 2020) - "20 years already?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Compiling for iOS is now possible.
- Also a new platform independent lib/dll is now available with a new, simple interface to request (some of) the internal data.
- Fix -listxml for strings that contain embedded tags
- pinPROC : updated library; VS2019 build
- YAML-cpp: updated to 0.6.3; VS2019 build
- Updated LISY support to 5.26-41 (Linux for Gottlieb System1 & System80, Bally, Atari, Williams and "HOme" Pinballs)
- Added VGM file output support for AY8910, OKI6295, OKI6376, QSound, SAA1099, YM2151, YM2203, YMF262(OPL3), YM3526, YM3812, Y8950, and SN7648/9X (unsure about the mappings for these latter ones though!) sound chips
- Either use -vgmwrite on the commmand line (PinMAME)
or select it in the game options (this requires a restart though, as VGM output requires to track everything) - PinMAME(32): Added an Automatic Sound Dump functionality:
Started via F6 (instead of the Recording function via F5) and
skips automatically to the next sound / creates a new file (in the wave subdir) if there is no sound at all anymore (silence) or the length reaches 4mins.
The dump stops automatically after soundcommand 0xFF (=max 256 overall generated sounds).
There is also an altsound CSV created with the dumps. This one can be
altered with lucky1s Altsound Editor.
** CORE/CPU ** - Improved Atari Generation 1 sound emulation, rewritten similar to the style of the Gen 2 one
- Tweaks to Atari Generation 2 emulation, too
- Added Regama driver
- Wicos Af-Tor fully working now
- Sped up Video Dens games, found more dip switches, switch test, saving NVRAM
- E.F.O. sound board mostly working - a strange issue with IRQ concurrency remains which sometimes causes a sound hangup
- Sound support for early LTD system III
- More sound found for LTD system 4 (extra lamp data is handled by sound chip port write!)
- Inverted sound bits for early Playmatic games, tone frequencies left as noted in the schematics though, seem a little off
- More solenoids found for LTDs Force & Haunted Hotel
- More lamps found for LTDs Space Poker
- Increased IRQ for LTD system III, helps with ball detection in outhole
- Corrected CPU clock for Peyper / Sonic games, helps speeding up Gamatron game start
- Doubled ZC frequency for Joctronic games, saving NVRAM
- Enabled coin settings on early Playmatic games
- Support 4-solenoid stepper motor mech used by High Roller Casino, Starship Troopers, and Playboy
- Fixed 8085A DSUB instruction for the H register
- Fixed some bugs in the TMS9995 emulation concerning port data writes / decrementer / CRU, NSM working now
- Make color/brightness mappings of Data East 128x16 DMDs match the real hardware
- Fix an old regression of Alvin G. solenoids not firing consistently (most notably breaking Mystery Castle)
- Improve DMD timings for the Sega 192x64 DMD, matching the real one more closely (also a slight improvement for the DE/Sega/Stern 128x32 ones)
- Improve IRQ timings of Sys3/4/6/7/11, DE and the Sega 192x64 DMD-machines
- Change switch writing of DE and Sega 192x64 DMD-machines
- Improve DMD timings for the Williams/Bally machines, leading to less flicker/wrong brightness on the early ones (e.g. T2 attract mode)
- Improve sound filtering of Flash Gordon, Xenon and all Williams/Bally DCS machines, matching the real one more closely
- Improve timings for GTS80 machines, especially for Rack em up until Tag-Team (1983-85 era)
- Stabilized solenoids 16, 31, and 32 on GamePlan machines
- Loosen up "fast flips" check for Starship Troopers
- Fix init error (for example corrupted first song) for YM2151 (older Williams/Bally and others)
- Slightly improve YM2151 noise (older Williams/Bally and others)
- Slightly improve overall YM2203, YM3526, YM3812, Y8950 emulation (older Alvin G. and others)
- Improve SAA1099 emulation (E.F.O.)
- Switch Votrax/SC01 emulation over to real simulation core (some GTS80(A)s and Taitos)
- Correct handling of Gottlieb System 1 displays (thanks to bontango)
- Got Goofy Hoops working as some schematics showed up, illustrating how useful such documents are!
- Make Williams Flash L-1 and T-1 use the Sys6 board (as these are newer than the yellow flipper based L-2)
*** SIMULATOR *** - Demolition Man: Added lamp layout, simulated all major shots (except maybe a weak car crash shot), the elevator and cryoclaw mechanism, along with the right ramp diverter that feeds it, and enabled the Buy-In button (also demonstrates how to show P1-P4 scores at all times)

"mytallica,mtl_180hc"

- Add Data East alphanumeric support to the builtin alternate sound file support (Sound Mode 1) (only briefly tested though, please report non-working machines)
