One run of profile_sync --all --rebase-refs --fresh. Every guard held: no ref to review, no prose left under an older pin, no file name or hash literal gained in a cited file since the pin, no built_by pin and no pin keyed by build mode. The site's record of cited source paths is rebuilt with them.

notes: |
|
|
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 (src/mame/drivers/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
|
|
(src/emu/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
|
|
(src/mame/drivers/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 (src/emu/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 (src/emu/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
|
|
(src/emu/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
|
|
(src/mame/drivers/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
|
|
(src/devices/bus/a7800/hiscore.cpp:49-52,
|
|
src/devices/bus/a7800/xm.cpp:177-183). Software list ROMs resolve as
|
|
a7800/<setname> then <setname> under rompath (src/emu/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
|
|
(src/emu/crsshair.cpp:180-214) and the UI font to compiled-in data
|
|
(src/emu/rendfont.cpp:587-600).

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

machines are clones of a7800 rather than of a7800p.
