As discussed a month ago, GS-1 is Natsukashi no Meikyoku-shū (懐かしの名曲集). The M-2 artists are PIKA☆NCHI and A・RA・SHI／他.

MC14040 is a CMOS ripple counter, and counter ICs are a typical part of the complex supporting logic required to stream samples directly from ROMs into a MSM5205 (since the...

Wait a minute... @cuavas just changed the ioprocs API. This will need some updating.

So then what is `FIFID_STRUCT` appropriate for? I'm pretty sure that `formats/acorn_dsk.cpp` is misusing it.

I believe the current identification rubric's assignment of highest priority to "structural" information contained in parameter blocks may be seriously flawed. One should consider that legacy copier formats assign all...

No, I don't accept that "structural" checks are inherently rigorous as a general principle. The specific problem at hand is `opus_ddos_format`, which only checks that one or two 16-bit numbers...

What a "structural" check can and can't be was never clearly specified in the source, so it's not surprising that 41cffee11ae8b8aa59c1e8d9e6e29222110353d9 misunderstood the rule. In any case, `opus_ddos_format` needs to...

The reason for this problem is that Windows doesn't like UTF-8 for filenames. `chdman createdvd` works because its implementation uses MAME's `osd_file::open`, whose Windows version uses actual Windows system calls...

Given that MAME currently defines well over three thousand device types, I'm not going to attempt assigning a manufacturer for every one of them in one go. There's also the...

I see year fields as irrelevant trivia for most devices. Years of release usually go unmentioned in lists of parts and datasheets, and it's expected that older parts can be...
