* Made spot size parameters adjustable also increased samples from 2 to 3 scanlines for crt-geom-deluxe.
* Made horizontal interpolation adjustable.
* bgfx crt-geom-deluxe: Made phosphor decay smoothly to zero at specified cutoff time.
* bgfx crt-geom-deluxe: Added lowpass filter.
Added a "brightness boost" feature for the shadow mask that works by making the brightness ratio between bright and dark mask pixels closer to 1 for the brighter parts of the image.
Added clamping to zero so that underscanning produces a black border.
Added a "raster bloom" effect to crt-geom-deluxe that makes the image grow slightly when the average brightness of the screen is high, mimicking a common defect in CRTs.
* Declare intent when requesting virtual memory (for NetBSD, 7712)
* Improve scrolling behaviour in Qt debugger (MT07795)
* Added prompts to input mapping menu to make it less intimidating
* Added context menu with Copy Visible and Paste commands to debug views (partially addresses #6066).
* Made memory view last PC display a context menu item.
* Fixed crash on right-clicking a memory view showing something other than an address space.
-debugger: Fixed commas in dumpkbd output.
If you want to build 64-bit and 32-bit in the same tree without them
stomping on each other, use SEPARATE_BIN=1 (you already need to do this
for TOOLS=1 anyway).
* Works fine with an analog stick/wheel, difficult to steer on the
slippery "dotted" surface with keyboard/D-pad.
-osd: Moved GCC intrinsics out of eminline.h so MAME_NOASM will take the
pure C++ implementation with GCC (makes testing the fallback easier).
-Removed a bunch of [[maybe_unused]] that aren't actually needed.
-osd/modules/osdwindow.cpp: Clean up window title formatting.
* Show data type model in window title.
* Moved window title formatting to a single place.
-tools/chdman.cpp: Removed some unnecessary .c_str() calls.
- Remove corestr.h from emu.h; update a few source files to not use it at all
- Change strtrimspace, strtrimrightspace and core_filename_extract_* to be pure functions taking a std::string_view by value and returning the same type
- Change strmakeupper and strmakelower to be pure functions taking a std::string_view and constructing a std::string
- Remove the string-modifying version of zippath_parent
- Change tag-based lookup functions in device_t to take std::string_view instead of const std::string & or const char *
- Remove the subdevice tag cache from device_t (since device finders are now recommended) and replace it with a map covering directly owned subdevices only
- Move the working directory setup method out of device_image_interface (only the UI seems to actually use the full version of this)
- Change output_manager to use std::string_view for output name arguments
- Change core_options to accept std::string_view for most name and value arguments (return values are still C strings for now)
- Change miscellaneous other functions to accept std::string_view arguments
- Remove a few string accessor macros from romload.h
- Remove many unnecessary c_str() calls from logging/error messages
* Removed inline assembly for operations compilers handle well.
* Added ARM and AArch64 implementation for a few operations.
* Added unsigned integer add with carry out operations.
-cpu/drccache.cpp: Detect whether RWX pages are supported.
-dynax.cpp: Improved a few hanafuda DIP switch descriptions.
* Fixed a couple of fixed-size buffers in Windows OSD code.
* Marked MAME as aware of long paths in Windows manifest.
* Made a cleaner, thread-safe API for getting volume names.
* Added compile-time option to disable recompiler W^X mode.
* NuBus image device current directory doesn't need to be pinned.
