------------------
Rastan Saga (bootleg, Japan Rev 1, earlier code base) [Fabrice Arzeno]
timeplt.cpp: added a note about a spaceplta PCB with a char ROM taken from the original [Trol]
* Created an initial file system implementation for OS-9 under the CoCo
* Minor fixes to directory entry handling
* Changed to use fsblk_t::r[8|16|24|32]b()
- Changed the above functions to be const
- Remove the iodevice_t classification, which was not used that much and was incomplete anyway. Image device implementations must now provide their own instance names and brief instance names. Several new parent classes have been created to make it easier to use the old standard names.
- Change must_be_loaded from a pure virtual function to be overridden in implementations to a getter for a base class property that can be set on the host side (as was formerly made possible for NES, MD and "generic" cartridge slots) but defaults to false for all types. This restrictive property has been unset for a small number of cases.
- Create parent classes for paper tape and magnetic tape devices. At present these are dummy classes that do little to nothing, but may help unify implementations in the future.
- Change several member functions to take std::string_view parameters rather than const std::string & or const char *.
- Make update_names take into account brief names, as discussed in PR #2555.
- Remove the obsolete uses_file_extension function (which used thread-unsafe strtok).
* portfolio_ccm_slot: Change image type from "cartridge" to "memcard"
* i7220, datapack: Add custom instance names that weren't there before
* pc11: Add note
* Reimplemented support for the CoCo's RS-DOS filesystem on top of the "fsmgr" framework (currently read only)
* Added support for file_type and ascii_flag metadata, minor bug fix decoding file allocation table entries
* Creating a "CoCo Raw Disk" format and changing the CoCo RS-DOS filesystem to use it
* 1. Adding COCO_RAWDSK to all.cpp
2. Fixing sector order on CoCo raw disk
- Eliminate dependencies on emu.h, replacing most fatalerror calls and floptool's ersatz emu_fatalerror class with standard exception classes
- Use range-based std::string constructors in some methods
- Move filesystem metadata handling to a separate source file
- Eliminate src/emu as an include path for libformats (necessitates kludge in ti99_dsk.cpp)
* Research into thoop and squash 'refrsh rate' protection [Victor Fernandez (City Game), Peter Ferrie, David Haywood]
- prevents freeze when dying in stage 4 of Thunder Hoop, and bad text on continue in Squash
