Topic: Neo-Geo driver cleanup

[iq_132]

Changes:

   Should 100% match the current MAME Neo-Geo driver (except for the extra bios roms)
      - games are in the same order as they are in neodrvr.c
      - drivers are clean and orderly
      - decrypted C drivers have been updated & expanded (still commented)
      - some bootlegs from kawaks (matrimbl, kof2002b, zintrkcd) (commented)

   Combined Cx decrypt code for JAMMA PCB games

   Modified the standard CMC Cx decrypt code
      - kf2k3pcb now works with the standard code
      - takes the same amount of RAM, slightly slower
      - allows removal of lots of duplicate/unnecessary code

   Fixed Vx loading for games with out-of-order Vx (kof2k4se, etc)

   Fixed kof2002 'how to play' screen (char. jumps off screen)

   Fixed S1 ROM size of 256kb (ct2k3sp), should work without any sort of hack now

   Modified Px loading routine
      - should be less buggy

   Modified nearly every game-specific Init
      - simplified and/or should take less RAM

   Overclocked CPU for games that need it (to fix glitches)
      - cthd2003 (104%), ct2k3sp (104%), ct2k3sa (105%), kog (104%)

   Modified / shortened the PVC bankswitch/pallette routine
      - CartRAM is a char rather than short
   
   Modified the drivers so that it is now possible to set the screen width
      - some games need 320 and some need 304
      - neogeo_s means 304, neogeo means 320 (as machine type) in MAME

   Added a small hack to allow MVS-only games to work on AES
      - does not patch the 'Px' roms, so games will pass Uni-Bios CRC check
      - affects sengoku3, zupapa, kof2000, mslug4, matrim, rotd, and mslug5

This hasn't been thoroughly tested, but I have checked almost all of the games that use a special init, and they seem to work fine. ^^

Nice work.

thx IQ.

IQ, do you plan to make cave driver cleanup someday in the future?

IQ, do you plan to make cave driver cleanup someday in the future?

It's on my "to do" list, but it's a pretty low priority.  If I work on that, I'll have to invest time into getting the other cave games working. ^^

ThanX IQ! this sure is a clean NG driver , this will help too when doing research or modifications on drivers in the future

Will try it out today ^^

SeeYaa!

Well I was working today with my newest FBA build and I encountered with this error when I tried to compile your clean neogeo driver

Must be a difference in the compile tools we use.  That works fine with mine...
Anyway, replace this:
   BurnDrvGetFullSize(&nNeoScreenWidth, &(int)nCodeSize);
with this:

   {
      int h;
      BurnDrvGetFullSize(&nNeoScreenWidth, &h);
   }

and let me know if that works for you.

ThanX IQ it worked just fine ^^, I added a thing just to make sure everything is like in your original code, and removed the {}...

   int h = nCodeSize;
   BurnDrvGetFullSize(&nNeoScreenWidth, &h);

And sorry to bother you with this stuff but it have been some time since I worked on FBA code and I'm like trying to remember the basics , I already did some fixing over the official FBA build and I will be releasing them maybe tomorrow (UI fixes found in FBA Extras but not in FBA official release).

PS: I have'nt figured a way to fix the fullscreen switching problem where the black area around the game is flashing X___X (happening on W.Vista).

SeeYaa!

nCodeSize;
this isn't necessary.  I only used it because it was a free 'int' that I could
use without having to add another line.
