* Started moving Lua class reference to docs. Expecting people to find
the class reference material in the source isn’t going to help make it
approachable. The docs allow longer explanations, better formatting,
and cross reference links.
* Added another layout scripting example to the docs.
-goldnpkr.cpp: Minor clean-up.
* Improved the short names for Witch Card and Witch Game clone sets.
* Made Witch Up & Down artwork clickable.
* Added working Video Klein sets where the parent is a working Video
Klein set to the tiny subtarget.
* Removed history from the header comment - we have version control for
a readon.
* Modernised and cleaned up Lua bindings for input classes.
* Exposed the input_sequence_poller class to Lua and updated the
autofire and cheat plugins to use it, rather than continuing to
pretend it's part of the input manager.
* Exposed more of the natural keyboard manager, including the ability
to enable/disable individual keyboard and keypad devices like you
can from the keyboard mode menu.
* Exposed a few more things on ioport_port and input_device.
-plugins/cheat: Fixed menu item not updating visually when disabling a
cheat with UI Left.
-plugins/cheatfind: Fixed not finding the first screen after screen
enumerator was exposed as an object rather than using a table.
-bwidow.cpp, pacman.cpp: Minor cleanup to recent changes.
API impact:
- install_ram/rom/writeonly now requires a non-null pointer. If you want
automatically managed ram, add it to a memory map, not in machine_start
- install_*_bank now requires a memory_bank *, not a string
- one can create memory banks outside of memory maps with memory_bank_creator
- one can create memory shares outside of memory maps with memory_share_creator
Memory maps impact:
- ram ranges with overlapping addresses are not shared anymore. Use .share()
- ram ranges touching each other are not merged anymore. Stay in your range
Extra note:
- there is no need to create a bank just to dynamically map some memory/rom.
Just use install_rom/ram/writeonly
This isn’t supposed to be too prescriptive. The C++ stuff just codifies
some things we’ve managed to mostly agree on for public interfaces. The
stuff for titles/descriptions is also just codifying existing rules so
there’s something to point people towards. This will need to be refined
as we go forward.
* Clean up some corner cases in layouts with repeating blocks
* Make complay.py validate many more elements and attributes
* Make complay.py easier to use for just validating a layout
* Remove redundant view from Sega VMU layout
* Make buttons visually respond to input in whousetc.lay
* Add view with LED displays as well as terminal for aim65_40 and use repeats
* Clean up some outdated "game" terminology in clifront.cpp
* Initiaise a couple of members in tap/tun network module
* Start documenting layout format
Disassemblers are now independant classes. Not only the code is
cleaner, but unidasm has access to all the cpu cores again. The
interface to the disassembly method has changed from byte buffers to
objects that give a result to read methods. This also adds support
for lfsr and/or paged PCs.
