- Added exception points as a new class of "points" triggering on specific exception numbers, with a similar set of commands to breakpoints and registerpoints.
- Removed the per-instruction callback hook from device_debug. Only one driver was using this (rmnimbus.cpp), and what it was doing with it could be done more cleanly with exception points.
- Change the type of the action string parameter for "points"-creating methods and make some parameters optional for those.
- Change trace file logging to use a std::ostream instead of FILE * to take better advantage of strformat.
* bus/nes/multigame.cpp: Got rid of a device type comparison.
* Fixed a couple of errors in debugger documentation.
* Reduced redundancy in more slot machine layouts.
frontend: Exposed debug symbol tables and parsed expressions to Lua
(these can be used when the debugger is not active). Also made it
simpler to walk input types.
imagedev/bitbngr.cpp: Added software list loader support (used by
sitcom).
sitcom.cpp: Replaced bankdev with a memory view. Also added a bar graph
for the timer DAC output, and made the DL1414 displays squarer in the
layout like they are in real life. They still don't look right because
the internal segment drawing code doen't draw the segments the right
width.
docs: Fixed broken links and added missing links in command line options
index. Also removed documentation for an option that no longer exists
and fixed some inconsistent terminology.
Separated includes by module in various drivers.
* If an input is configured to some combination of controls that are not
present at all, ignore the setting altogether for the session.
* Fixed relative axes with PORT_RESET not responding to absolute
controls (MT07685).
* Fixed relative axes not responding to an absolute control if the value
doesn’t change every frame (eg. holding a stick against the stop).
* Changed the scaling for absolute controls assigned to relative axes to
make defaults more sane (e.g. arkanoid or spdheat with a joystick).
-frontend: Fixed some localisation issues in Analog Controls menu.
-docs: Added documentation on assigning inputs.
frontend: Made it possible to cancel a media audit while it's in
progress. Also made the media audit multi-threaded so it's faster.
frontend: Made the DIP switches in the DIP switch preview clickable.
frontend: Made the system and software selection menus leave focus on
the same system when clearing the search rather than jumping to the
first item. Also fixed a couple of bugs in the logic for keeping the
selected item visible.
frontend: Fixed a few places that weren't showing localised system
names.
frontend: Made UI Cancel clear a search in the file manager the same way
it does on the system and sofware selection menus.
frontend: Made it possible for plugin menus to handle UI Cancel more
naturally, backing up to the previous plugin menu rather than dropping
straight back to the list of plugins. Updated the autofire, cheat and
cheatfind plugins, and fixed a few other issues in the cheatfind plugin.
debugger: Made the mount and unmount commands accept instance names as
well as brief instance names. Also updated another page of debugger
documentation.
frontend: Allow clicking the adjuster arrows on menu items. This allows
things like video options and DIP switches to be configured using a
mouse only. Also fixed a bug preventing paging menus with a mouse if
the first item scrolled off the bottom is not selectable.
debugger: Allow wplist and bplist to accept a CPU argument to list
breakpoints/watchpoints for a single CPU only.
debugger: Fixed some corner cases in address space syntax in memory
accesses, and allowed memory region accesses to use tags relative to the
visible CPU.
emu/softlist.cpp: Ignore notes elements when loading software lists.
It's effectively a comment that isn't a comment syntactically, it's
being used for things that are not useful to display in the internal UI,
and it slows down startup.
docs: Updated three more pages of debugger documentation. Also updated
more of the built-in debugger help.
minimaws: Fixed up schema for software list notes, made sofware list
notes display initially collapsed.
Extended the memory access prefixes in debugger expressions to support
address space names.
Made the debugger history command aware of how much history it has
collected, and added a help topic for it to the built-in debugger help.
Started updating the documentation for the web site, and corrected some
of the more misleading built-in debugger help.
Made some corrections to Chinese localisation after discussion with
YuiFAN.
Darkened the UI red colour a little.
cpu/m6502/st2205u.h: Marked sound imperfect.
