EmuCR: MESSMESS v0.161 is released. MESS is an open source project which documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles, and calculators through software emulation, as MAME does for arcade games. As a nice side effect to this documentation, MESS allows software and games for these hardware platforms to be run on modern PCs.

and MSX Turbo-R disks [Riley110, Fabio Priuli]

Source Changes
--------------
-Adding support for the N64DD [Happy]

-imds2.c: added basic usage info [fulivi]

-gba: vblank at line 160, don't do HIRQ or HDMA during Vblank.
This fixes raster effects and glitches in dozens if not hundreds of
games. [R. Belmont, endrift]

-gba: Hblank IRQs do happen on all scanlines, just DMAs don't.
[R. Belmont, Endrift]

-abc80: Added cassette sound. [Curt Coder]

-pce/tg16: added default values for pre-formatted BRAM. you
could obtain the same result by launching PCE or TG-16 with the
CD-SYSTEM cart and entering the BRAM configuration menu (by pressing
Select), but it makes sense to be more user-friendly in this case.
[Fabio Priuli]

-abc80: Emulated a 16KB RAM card. [Curt Coder]

-abc80: Use Z80 PIO pb7_w. (nw)

-abc80: Emulated the Scandia Metric ABC FD2 floppy controller.
[Curt Coder]

-MT05721: Apply Enik Land's refresh rate workaround so that we
pass FluBBa's SMS VDP tests. [Justin Kerk]

-pet: Refactored the Commodore 8050/8250/SFD-1001 to use the new
floppy system. [Curt Coder]

-gameboy: removed separate implementation of MBC-1 collection
cart, since it is just plain MBC-1 mapper with slightly different
address lines wiring. [Tauwasser]

-c64. Added FSD-1 disk drive ROMs. [Ray Carlsen]

-atlantis: added PCI9050 device skeleton. [R. Belmont]

-upd1771: replace waveforms with waveforms extracted from
upd1771c-017 internal rom. [Lord Nightmare, plgdavid]

-gameboy: added preliminary emulation of Sachen MMC-1 mapper,
based on reverse engineering by Tauwasser. Logo handling not emulated
yet (you have to select the "Skip BIOS check" in the System
Configuration menu to play the games). [Fabio Priuli]

-gameboy.xml/gbcolor.xml: Added some recent dumps of Sachen
carts [Tauwasser, BigFred, taizou]

-c64: Added ROMs for Indus GT floppy drive. [Ray Carlsen]

-gameboy: added support for the simple multigame mapper used by
Mani 4 in 1 (DMG-601-CHN). [Fabio Priuli]

-Completely hooked up 6845 in cardline driver. Documented asic
addresses. [Couriersud]

-Implemented writing to Commodore d64/d67/d71/d80/d82 sector
images. [Curt Coder]

-Added sector image format for the Commodore 8280 8" floppy
drive. [Curt Coder]

-victor9k: Added writing to sector dump disk images. [Curt Coder]

-c4040: Added own sector dump disk format since it's different
from what the 1541 uses. [Curt Coder]

-plus4: Default to the 1541 disk drive, since the 1551 is rare
and unreliable. [Curt Coder]

-spc1000.c: cassette motor fix so that recording fuction is now working.
[Miso Kim]

-sms.c: misc improvements: [Enik Land]
* when GG runs in SMS compatibility mode, avoid access to the PSG
stereo register.
* implement the audio control that enables/disables the PSG chip on
Japanese SMS.
* play FM sound only when FM chip is enabled.
* remove mirrors of the IO and memory control ports on the GG driver,
fixing emulation of G-LOC Air Battle.

-c8050: Added 901884-01 ROM. [Martin Hoffmann-Vetter]

-fsd2: Added REX-DOS. [Julian Perry]

-spc1000.c: Removed minor tape hack. To load tapes you *FIRST* press
PLAY on the tape drive (e.g. by pressing 'F2' in partial keyboard
emulation mode), and *THEN* you type LOAD at the BASIC prompt. The
order of these operations matter. [Fabio Priuli]
