Salmoria) Source Changes -------------- NeoGeo Update: [Johnboy] * Updated Neo-Geo game pcb infos *
2020bba: Marked MVS and AES version * sonicwi2: Added correct sized v2 * kof95 / kof95a: . Renamed
kof95 to kof95h . Renamed p1 to correct chip label . Added note . Renamed kof95a to kof95 . Renamed

to correct chip label . Marked AES version * kof98 / kof98n: . Renamed m1 in kof98 to correct chip
label . Renamed m1 in kof98n to correct chip label (kof98n should be latest revision, cart had very
high SN 1xx.xxx) * kof97: Marked MVS version * samsho5 / samsho5h: . Correct text layer size .
Marked samsho5h AES version * neogeo: . Updated system set to what is found on NEO-MVH MV1FS .
Added note * ms5pcb: . Hooked up bios dip . Renamed bios to correct chip label . Renamed p1 / p2 to
correct chip label, marked NO_DUMP . Added note Added pen_mask tile attribute to the tilemap
system. Implemented dynamic tile sprite bit depth in the Taito F3 driver. [Nicola Salmoria] Changed
MAKE_RGB macro to set the alpha to 255 instead of 0. Updated palette.c to preserve the alpha when
transforming palette values. These changes should be transparent to almost all drivers and
rendering (ha-ha), but there may be an occasional instance where a driver relied on the alpha being
0 in the system palette. This also means that the palette_set_color() function preserves any alpha
value that is set. [Aaron Giles] Changed Firefox to RGB32 to allow for mid-screen palette changes.
Because of the above change, the hacky alpha manipulation that was previously required is no longer
necessary; the alpha is set directly in the palette entry. [Aaron Giles] Removed
render_container_set_palette_alpha() hack. Now the alpha value can be set directly in the palette
entry and will be respected for laserdisc overlays. [Aaron Giles] Minor NSS/SNES cleanups [Fabio
Priuli] Updated warpwarp.c driver: [stephh] - reworked 'geebee', 'navarone' and 'warpwarp'
INPUT_PORTS definitions by using conditional Dip Switches. - added 'geebeeb' INPUT_PORTS definition
(this game has specific Replay settings). Removed unneeded keys: [stephh] - UI_ON_SCREEN_DISPLAY
(there is now a Slider Controls menu) - UI_ADD_CHEAT, UI_DELETE_CHEAT, UI_SAVE_CHEAT,
UI_WATCH_VALUE, UI_EDIT_CHEAT, UI_RELOAD_CHEAT (these keys belonged to the old cheat engine)
Converted the z80pio implementation into a device. [Wilbert Pol] Verified watchdog behaviour in
schematics for 8080bw.c. [couriersud] ldverify improvements: [Aaron Giles] - uses back-end decoding
for CHDs directly to bitmaps - changed min/max detection to only check 0/255 - fixed off-by-one bug
in min/max computation - separated white code detection from frame number detection - track cadence
with frame numbers as well as white codes - use vbiparse.h constants where appropriate Plumbed
machine parameters through the renderer. Removed need for deprecat.h. [Aaron Giles] Changed
render_texture_set_bitmap() to accept a palette object instead of a palette index. The renderer
remains optimized for the system palette but will work if objects have their own palette as well.
[Aaron Giles] Changed renderer to permit palettes for RGB and YUY textures. If specified, these
palettes specify a 32-entry (RGB15) or 256-entry (others) lookup for applying additional
brightness/contrast/gamma on a per-texture basis. [Aaron Giles] Removed rescale notification. It
never really worked that well and violated proper layering. [Aaron Giles] Renamed
palette_set_brightness() to palette_set_pen_contrast() for clarity. [Aaron Giles] Changed palette
objects to support global brightness/contrast/gamma in addition to per-group and per-entry
controls. [Aaron Giles] Simplified core deinterlacing logic based on availability of pre- decoded
VBI data. Added plumbing for allowing for overall brightness/ contrast/gamma corrections on
laserdisc video. Fixed bug when combining brightness values in the palette logic. [Aaron Giles]
Converted Z80 CTC to a proper device. Updated all drivers. Added new item to the interface which is
the tag of a CPU to take the base clock from. [Aaron Giles] Changed Z80 daisy chain interface to
simply be a list of devices in the chain. Interrupt callback functions are now fetched via the
standard device interface and referenced by the daisy chain code. [Aaron Giles] Changed Z80 PIO
interrupt callback to pass a device instead of the machine. All device callbacks should provide the
device. [Aaron Giles] merit.c: [couriersud] * Implemented palette colour decoding from crt 200
schematics. * Hooked up 6845 * Hooked up lscnblk line * Fixed Phraze Craze gfx rom ordering *
Clocks from schematics * Ram palette moved to static var. This should not be in RAM. * Added save
state support expro02.c: [DITraI4D0] - fixed DIPSW - added graphics decode routine (probably it can
be simpler) video/kaneko16.c [DITraI4D0] - tilemap scroll position is different for expro02, so
added new function (is it better to fix current one?) Converted Z80 SIO to device. Updated drivers
accordingly. [Aaron Giles] Added additional Motorola DSP56k reset behavior. [Andrew Gardner] Added
mechanism to generically specify input port tags in place of machine/device handlers.
Unfortunately, the implementation relies on sentinel values to distinguish a port tag versus a
pointer to function code. However, since this is a very common situation, it will hopefully be
worth the slight grossness. New macros are defined in inptport.h: DEVICE8_PORT(name) - use this to
specify the name of a port to read wherever a read8_device_func would normally be used
MACHINE8_PORT(name) - same as DEVICE8_PORT except it can be used wherever a read8_machine_func
would normally be used IS_HANDLER_PORT(ptr) - accepts a read8_device_func or read8_machine_func and
determines if it is an actual function or a reference to a port; intended for use by devices that
accept DEVICE8_PORT-style functions CALL_DEVICE8_READ(ptr,device,offset) - either calls through the
given read8_device_func, or calls input_port_read with the appropriate tag, depending on the result
of IS_HANDLER_PORT; intended for use by devices that accept DEVICE8_PORT-style functions
CALL_MACHINE8_READ(ptr,machine,offset) - same as CALL_DEVICE8_READ except for read8_machine_func
Note that in order for these to be useful, the consumer of the function pointer must be enhanced to
use the CALL_* macros above instead of directly calling through the function. So far, only the 8255
PPI is set up to do this, as part of the cleanup below. Also note that the sentinel value is
currently 4 consecutive 0 bytes; this may need to change in the future, in either length or value,
so it is important to stick to the macros above. [Aaron Giles] 8255 PPI interface cleanup: [Aaron
Giles] - added MDRV_PPI8255_ADD, MDRV_PPI8255_RECONFIG and MDRV_PPI8255_REMOVE macros; updated all
drivers to use them - changed callbacks to device read/write handlers intead of machine read/write
handlers; updated all drivers accordingly - normalized function and variable names to be
lower_under - removed a number of redundant interfaces from the galaxian/ scamble line of games
LD-V1000: added some (compile-time removed) information about the ROM and memory map [Aaron Giles]
Changed 68000 interrupts to only trigger during execution. This means that multiple changes without
any execution will be seen as atomic. It also means that PULSE_LINE no longer works for signalling
IRQs. [Aaron Giles] Added checks in the debug build to catch people who try to use PULSE_LINE for
non-NMI and non-RESET input lines on CPUs that no longer support direct interrupt generation. Over
time expect this list to increase. [Aaron Giles] Fixed edge case bug in the Cube Quest line CPU
involving adding with carry. [Matt Ownby] Fixed sbasketb DIP switch reading. [Fabio Priuli]
Continued work on System1 inputs: [Sonikos] - Added dips location in all game - Moved in generic
Cabinet dip for eliminate the redundancy - Better implementation of generic input Changed the
NSS/SNES loading code to support more cart/memory layouts and generally be more in line with the
MESS way of handling SNES cartridges. [Fabio Priuli] New games added or promoted from NOT_WORKING
status --------------------------------------------------- Gals Panic (US, EXPRO-02 PCB) Pit Boss
[Couriersud] New clones added ---------------- 20 Year Reunion (V1.04) [Johan Samuelsson] Capcom
Sports Club (EURO 971017) [Corrado Tomaselli]

MOUNTING and LAMINATING
Protect your images and prepare them for display.
We offer a wide range of in-house mounting and laminating options. Our expert staff takes pride in
producing a high quality job to meet your deadlines – every time!
MOUNTING
We have many popular boards in stock, for all sizes up to 4 ft x 8 ft.
Some boards are available oversize at 5 ft x 10 ft.
Gatorboard
Foamcore
Sintra (PVC)
Styrene
Card Stock
Coroplast
Masonite
MDF (plaques)
Technical Tip: No matter how it is flattened or treated, rolled paper will always have a curl to
it. Mounting to a rigid substrate will flatten it for a perfect display.
LAMINATION
Overlamination of a mounted image will enhance the look of your display and provide protection from
moisture, fingerprints and abrasion - and fading under normal interior lighting conditions.
Premium vinyl films up to 60” wide ensure excellent adhesion to inkjet output - even
with heavy ink coverage on coated stock. All have UV inhibitors.
CHOOSE FROM
Matte to eliminate reflection without sacrificing colour definition - our most popular film.
Semi-gloss to give a clear bright finish and enhance colour and contrast
Scuff resistant with a very durable matte pebbled texture
Dry erase gloss with a specialty treated surface for write-on-wipe-off applications
Economical polyester films are ideal for offset printed images and may be used on inkjet output on
bond paper rather than coated stock. These films do not offer protection from fading.
Satin, matte and gloss finishes are available.
2-sided lamination is available for images on paper that need to be rolled for shipping or storage

Hello all,
Has anybody that owns the Santa Rosa (2007) MacBook Pro noticed that the already well-known LCD
dithering issue (poor colour gradients etc.) goes away if you use the sRGB or Adobe RGB (1998)
display profiles?
Also, switching to the sRGB profile (the widely accepted profile for photography, the Internet
etc.) and rebooting (so that everything uses the profile) makes me realise how yellow-tinted the
standard profile, 'Color LCD', is. I think the tint is there so you don't notice the difference
between CCFL and LED backlit LCDs - LEDs give a far whiter and more realistic backlight colour,
which at first may seem very blue (if you're used to the Color LCD profile) but is actually more
accurate.
I get the impression from the above that the default profile for the MacBook Pro (at least the 2007
15.4") is awful, and is actually the route of the poor colour gradient issues.
If you have the same model and have noticed the problem, try switching to sRGB in System
Preferences -> Displays -> Color ;)

Hi,
I have been producing graphics on screen for years but am now starting to learn about producing
graphics for print: a whole new world of pain!
This question might be really stupid but please understand I have zero experience of producing
artwork/layouts and then getting them printed on a commerical press so please forgive me!
Ok, so I'm watching an Indesign video tutorial today and the helpful tutor is explaining about the
dangers of spindly/small reversed out text. So far so good.
Then he points out that if text is coloured with a tint swatch (say, 30% cyan) it wont look as
sharp on paper as it does on screen as it's made up of dots. The edges losed definition and break
up.
Ok, but then how on earth does anyone ever print text in lighter colours? - a very light blue, for
example - which when I create in indesign has exactly the same cmyk values as a tint anyway.
And does this lack of definition apply to shapes as well as text! I'm now scared of using any light
coloured things in my designs at all - which is obviously stupid as pretty much everyone else in
the world seems capable of producing artwork with light coloured text/shapes.:D
Any words of wisdom?
