Quick patch against r573. It's an improved version of this: http://www.supermodel3.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1355#p12027

I've added a "model3" root node and updated the xml parser in <GameLoader.cpp> accordingly.

Thank you. Is this the final version of the file ?

I don't expect what's in the latest SVN to change much from this point forward. There's a small possibility I may need to add more information to the ROM sets. However, I think for auditing purposes, the information here is sufficient?

yes, it's enough.

One last question: on child games, only the changed ROMs are listed... all ROMs listed in the parent set are required by the clones ?
In MAME, some clones require only a few ROMs from parent set (other ROMs are ignored).

I don't think I have a way of doing that in my scheme. I believe it just loads all parent ROMs.

Update for r667. Sync gamelist with MAME:

- Added support for Dirt Devils (Japan, Revision A)
- Rename "Star Wars Trilogy" to "Star Wars Trilogy Arcade"

Thanks, Harry! I've merged this one in.

For the series: better late than never, I'm resuming this post because when I updated <Games.xml> to be in line with MAME I forgot to update accordingly the referenced game names in the other emulator's project files.

The result is that in <Model3.cpp> Scud Race (First version) got the wrong PCIBridge model set and stopped working since then.

To fix this just change "scudp1" to "scudplusa" @ line 3103 of the file, like this:

Code: Select all

    if (game.name == "scudplusa")
      PCIBridge.SetModel(0x106);      // some Step 1.x games use MPC106
    else
      PCIBridge.SetModel(0x105);      // MPC105


Happy driving

...and for the very same reason bassdx had to be added as well to the execptions list at line 3113. So it should like this:

Code: Select all

    if (game.name == "bass" || game.name == "bassdx" || game.name == "getbass")
      PCIBridge.SetModel(0x106);      // some Step 1.x games use MPC106
    else
      PCIBridge.SetModel(0x105);      // MPC105


However while the game boots (and you can access the test menu) it throws out an IO error like getbass and will not go past that. they have the same arcade controller type.

is this one included in the last patch?
