- Memory references in expressions no longer default to the console's visible CPU if no device name was specified, except when entered through the console itself. Expressions in view windows now use the context of the currently selected device instead.
- The pcatmem debug command and similar qt mouseover function now produce an error message if the initial address translation fails.
Related internal changes (nw)
- The debugger_cpu class no longer interprets memory accesses. The existing routines have been moved into symbol_table (which used to invoke them as callbacks), and reimplemented in most other places. Thecode duplication is a bit messy, but could be potentially improved in the future with new utility classes.
- The cheat engine no longer needs to hook into the debugger_cpu class or instantiate a dummy instance of it.
- The inclusion of debug/express.h within emu.h has been undone. Some debugging structures now need unique_ptr to wrap the resulting incomplete classes; hopefully the performance impact of this is negligible. Another direct consequence is that the breakpoint, watchpoint and registerpoint classes are no longer inside device_debug and have their own source file.
- The breakpoint list is now a std::multimap, using the addresses as keys to hopefully expedite lookup.
- The visible CPU pointer has been removed from the debugger_cpu class, being now considered a property of the console instead.
- Many minor bits of code have been simplified.
The last(?) two changes are:
- Add a template parameter to everything (theoretically the address
space width, in practice a level derived from it to keep as much
compatibility between widths as possible) so that the shift size
becomes a constant.
- Change the syntax of declaring and initializing the caches and
specifics so that they're embedded in the owner device. Solves
lifetime issues and also removes one indirection (looking up the base
dispatch pointer through the cache/specific pointer).
pongf now peaks at 589% compared to 570% before.
Amongst a number of improvements in nl_base.h, the 7493 was touched.
Also has some code cleanup and hopefully faster compilation due to
extern template declarations.
* Demoted Quizard and Quizard 2 sets to non-working.
* Started hooking up the Quizard MCU.
* Renamed CDI_SLAVE to CDI_SLAVE_HLE in prep for an LLE device.
* Added more comprehensive notes to the driver.
* Removed NO_DUMP cdic.bin as the CDIC is apparently not an MCU.
* Copied SERVO and SLAVE MCUs into cdimono1 set from cdi910 set and marked with BAD_DUMP.
This change fixes the edge case of an unaligned accesses to the top of the space not wrapping around, which was causing at least one driver (alpinesa) to crash.
