|
|
MAME fork by 7800.8bitdev.org built with the Atari 7800 driver alone. The
|
|
released binary carries eight machines, all declaring a7800 as parent: NTSC
|
|
and PAL at three palette temperatures, plus a developer mode showing DMA
|
|
usage per scanline (a7800.cpp:1837-1844). The temperature variants were
|
|
renamed after 5.2, from a7800u1/a7800u2/a7800pu1/a7800pu2 to
|
|
a7800a1/a7800a2/a7800pa1/a7800pa2. ROM definitions are identical in both.
|
|
|
|
Console BIOS is optional. Every entry carries ROM_OPTIONAL, so absence
|
|
yields a warning rather than the fatal "Required files are missing" exit
|
|
(romload.cpp:373-379, 488-493). The region is ERASEFF, and machine_reset
|
|
reads the reset vector: when 0xfffe and 0xffff both hold 0xff, m_ctrl_reg is
|
|
set to 4 and the console starts the cartridge (a7800.cpp:1529-1532). No code
|
|
substitutes for the BIOS when it is absent.
|
|
|
|
Lookup runs under rompath, which the shipped a7800.ini sets to "bios;roms".
|
|
open_rom_file walks the parent chain (romload.cpp:567-572), so all eight
|
|
machines fall back to the a7800 set, and the manual documents one merged
|
|
archive at bios/a7800.zip. Inside an archive the search tries name with CRC,
|
|
then CRC alone, then name (fileio.cpp:692-701), so a ROM whose filename
|
|
differs from the driver still resolves; loose files under rompath/a7800/
|
|
match by name only. Loaded ROMs are checked for exact length and against the
|
|
declared CRC32 and SHA1, and a mismatch is a warning (romload.cpp:417-455).
|
|
|
|
The PAL BIOS keeps the filename 7800pal.rom, which mainline MAME has since
|
|
renamed to c300558-001b.u7 for the same dump. Mainline also marks the 7800
|
|
ROMs mandatory.
|
|
|
|
Software list a7800 (hash/a7800.xml), attached by every machine
|
|
(a7800.cpp:1577, 1608, 1654, 1684), holds add-on hardware rather than games:
|
|
the High Score Cartridge and the XM Expansion Module, both backed by the
|
|
same 4KB highscre.bin served as the pass-through cart ROM
|
|
(hiscore.cpp:49-52, xm.cpp:177-183). Software list ROMs resolve as
|
|
a7800/<setname> then <setname> under rompath (romload.cpp:628-650) and carry
|
|
no optional flag, so selecting either configuration without the image exits
|
|
with EMU_ERR_MISSING_FILES.
|
|
|
|
The release ships the binary, a7800.ini, the manual, hash/a7800.xml, cfg
|
|
defaults, bgfx shaders and artwork masks, and no roms, samples, plugins or
|
|
language directory. The driver adds no samples device and no external
|
|
layout. Crosshair bitmaps fall back to a compiled-in shape
|
|
(crsshair.cpp:180-214) and the UI font to compiled-in data
|
|
(rendfont.cpp:587-600).

Merged console BIOS archive documented by the manual at bios/a7800.zip.

Serves all eight machines through the parent chain, since the PAL

machines are clones of a7800 rather than of a7800p.
