ui: Added some missing functionality:
* Added an option to copy input device IDs to the relevant menus.
* Added an item for setting the software lists files path (-hashpath) to
the folder setup menu.
* Allow pasting text from clipboard in most places that allow typing
(searching, entering filenames, entering barcodes).
* Changed the software selection menu heading to be a bit less
misleading.
* Made barcode menu less eager to rebuild itself unnecessarily, and
removed some confusing and apparently pointless code.
Exposed more Lua bindings:
* Added low-level palette objects.
* Added indexed bitmap types.
* Added a bitmap method for extracting pixels from a rectangular area as a
packed binary string.
* Changed screen device pixels method to return width and height in
addition to the pixels.
osd: Added some functionality and cleaned up a little:
* Added a function for copying text to the clipboard.
* Moved function for converting Windows error codes to standard error
conditions to winutil.cpp so it can be used from more places.
* Removed duplicate declaration of osd_get_clipboard_text and made the
function noexcept (including fixing implementations).
* Made macOS implementation of osd_get_clipboard_text skip the encoding
conversion if it finds UTF-8 text first.
* Changed the default -uimodekey setting so it doesn't lose the "not
shift" that stops the default from interfering with UI paste.
Various bug fixes:
* util/unicode.cpp: Fixed the version of utf8_from_uchar that returns
std::string blowing up on invalid codepoints.
* util/bitmap.h: Fixed wrapping constructors for indexed bitmaps taking
the wrong parameter type (nothing was using them before).
* util/bitmap.cpp: Fixed potential use-after-free issues with bitmap
palettes.
* emu/input.cpp, emu/inputdev.cpp: Log 1-based device numbers, matching
what's shown in the internal UI and used in tokens in CFG files.
* emu/emumem.cpp: Added the bank tag to a fatal error message where it
was missing.
docs: Reworked and expanded documentation on configuring stable
controller IDs.
For translators, the changes are quite minor:
* There's a menu item for copying a device ID to the clipboard, and
associated success/failure messages.
* There's the menu item for setting the software list file search path.
* One of the lines in the software selection menu heading has changes as
it could be interpreted as implying it showed a software list name.
- 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.
-Moved some stuff out of misc and skeleton:
* Moved Innovative Concepts machines to their own project.
* Moved various things out of skeleton to existing company projects.
Added minimal support for manipulating bitmaps and drawing them in
render containers. Y'CbCr 4:2:2, RGB and ARGB are supported. Argument
order doesn't always match the underlying classes to make the Lua
interface more consistent with render bounds and render containers.
Added bindings for device_palette_interface.
Fixed some errors in the documentation as well as documenting new
functionality.
* Use flat gradient style rather than embossed edges.
* Made rightmost stroke of the M thicker.
* Use a dark border to emphasise the outline on light backgrounds.
* Use flat style without anti-aliasing up to 64*64.
* Manually tweaked small sizes to preserve sharp mitres.
Updated instructions for building subsets of MAME using the SOURCES
option.
Added descriptions for several more "useful" settings.
Bumped documentation version as the build system changes are not in
0.245.
The keyboard and mouse device mapping options did nothing at all, mostly
because of lack of support for separating inputs from multiple devices.
The joystick options were useless when you have two of the same kind of
controller, and you can achieve the same thing with controller
configuration files.
* Got rid of the special-casing for the "mess" subtarget name.
* Got rid of the MESS-specific Windows resources, emuator info source
and man page.
* Added subtarget name to the internal name and original name in Windows
resources.
-ui: Put the system-specific items on the input settings menu together,
and fixed the crosshair visibility settings.
Added menus for controlling toggle inputs, and showing recognised input
devices and control state. Moved input menu options off main menu to a
submenu, as there are a lot of them now.
Moved menu heading drawing into base class, added headings to more
menus, and made headings more consistent with the menu items used to
reach them. Also made terminology more consistent.
Changed the default names for buttons and hat switches/D-pads to use
1-based numbering. DirectInput still returns 0-based button numbers for
some devices.
Removed local copy of MinGW xaudio2.h as it’s now included in the MSYS2
package. Also fixed building the DirectSound sound output module with
the SDL OSD on Windows - the Windows headers are sensitive to include
order.
Started adding documentation for menus, to hopefully help people find
menus they remember seeing but can't recall how to access.
For translators, this makes terminology more consistent. In particular:
* "Settings" is preferred over "configuration" in a number of places, as
the latter can be construed as referring specifically to settings
stored in .cfg files in the cfg_directory folder. Also, references to
saving machine configuration could be interpreted as relating to the
settings on the "Machine Configuration" menu.
* The controls on host input devices (e.g. keys, buttons, joystick axes)
are referred to as "controls", while emulated inputs are referred to
as "inputs".
* The menus for assigning host controls to emulated inputs are called
"input assignments" menus to distinguish them from other input
settings menus.
* Combinations of controls that can be assigned to emulated inputs are
referred to as "combinations" rather than "sequences".
* The potentially confusing term "ROM set" has been removed altogether.
Use "short name" to refer to a device or system's identifier.
* "System" is used in almost places to refer to a complete, runnable
system rather than "Machine".
* "Driver" is now only used to refer to source files where systems or
devices are defined - it is no longer used to refer to individual
systems.
* A few more menus have message context for the messages. This makes it
a bit easier to guess where the messages are used. It also means you
can use different translations in different places if necessary (e.g.
if the same English text should be translated differently as an item
in one menu and as a heading in another).
machine/z80scc.cpp: Fixed a cast-to-bool that broke detection of changes
to one register bit.
formats/fsmeta.cpp: Use visitors with variants where it makes sense.
docs: Updated minimum required SDL version to 2.0.6 for all targets,
added note that Python 3 is included with Xcode and updated instructions
for downloading stand-alone Python 3 for macOS.
ksys573.cpp: Don't create an insane number of textures for fghtmn and
pnchman internal artwork.
Tidied another batch of slot machine layouts.
Made the debugger memory view not depend on isprint which is affected by
the global locale. Assume the OSD will display as ISO-8869-1 and
replace problematic printable characters.
Started changing Lua function bindings to use set_function to avoid
potential issues related to ThePhD/sol2#608, and worked out what was
causing problems with symbol table read_memory/write_memory. (They
aren't really essential - you can do the same thing with the address
space object itself, but they're easier to parameterise.)
Also made error messages for missing CHDs and missing files for software
parts using the image file loader show search paths, and changed the
(poorly named) bitbanger device to use the image file loader rather than
the ROM loader for software items.
Exposed minimum/maximum values for analog fields. together with defvalue, they can be used to check range of values and neutral position.
Previously you had to send a normalised value between -65535 and 65535 which would be scaled depending on machine specifics. You could read the scaled value from the port, but you couldn't send scaled values in. This allows scripts to set scaled values as seen by the machine.
* 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.
Addressed pure virtual function call crash on end of emulation session
if you haven't explicitly removed all address space taps, memory
corruption on end of emulation session if you haven't explicitly removed
all address space change notifiers, and symbol being garbage-collected
out from under you while you have parsed expressions or other symbol
tables that depend on them.
Removed the copy constructor for parsed expressions as the underlying
C++ copy constructor appears to be broken, and simplified symbol table
constructors. Also made symbol table add methods return the new entry
to avoid the need for an extra lookup.
Fixed breakpoint/watchpoint objects being inappropriately copied into
the tables returned by bplist() and wplist(), allowing the enabled
property to be modifiable for breakpoint and watchpoint objects in Lua.
Fixed drivers and devices causing a new memory pass-through handler to
be allocated on each soft reset, and fixed multiple instances of taps
being installed in the event the machine is reset before the tap is
removed.
Added classes for managing broadcast subscriptions, and adapted address
spaces to use this for change notifications.
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.
them, which can them be picked up on access with the
{read,write}_*_flags variants of the accessors. Example use with the
i960 and its burstable rom/ram.
