* Implement sprite priority support
* promote these
* notes (nw)
* masked logging (nw)
* modify mixing to be something potentially closer to how the hw orders things (nw)
* kill older code (nw)
* improve boxes
* New working machine added
----------
Game & Watch: Mickey Mouse (panorama screen) [algestam, Mr Jiggles the Christmas Man]
* hh_sm510: gnw_mmousep model name fix (nw)
* Re-wrote localisation loader: sanitise input, check for buffer overruns, fix endianness handling, keep data in a single allocated block, do a single hash lookup when fetching a string, print diagnostic output when things go wrong
* Sort UI language menu so it's not in whatever random order the filesystem yields
* Fixed most menu code to adjust L/R border for UI aspect ratio and pass container to render manager when getting UI aspect ratio
* Converted a couple more things to use smart pointers
* [bit90] fix issues with logging, combine drivers with BIOS mechanism, protect read functions against debugger side effects
* [bit90] Use multiple ROM_REGIONS and ROM_BIOS, because you can!
ioport.cpp:
* better than 50% reduction in compile time, and better locality for static data
* better encapsulation, const correctness and noexcept usage
* vt1682 alu is now a device (nw)
* prepare to make times devices (nw)
* push timer logic into devices (nw)
* naming fixes (nw)
* useful trampoline (nw)
* (nw)
* hmm timer math, I'm not sure about timer math (nw)
* messing with rasters (nw)
* move zone40 to vt1682, while it definitely isn't plain 1682 I think it's more likely closer to it than it is to SunPlus
* When a switch-type input is selected, show feedback when it's pressed
* If an invalid code is entered (e.g. only negatives) abandon the change rather than cycling default/none
* If an invalid code is entered display a message until the user takes some other action
input.cpp updates:
* constexpr crusade on input_code and input_seq and some very slight optimisation to input_seq
* seq_poll* is a frontend function and had no business being in the core, so it's a utility class now
* seq_poll* now exposes a bit more detail, enabling improved interaction on the UI inputs menu
* global state is reduced a little, but the poll_* functions are still members of the input manager with global state
(nw) The Lua engine has been updated in a way that maintains source compatibility with existing Lua
scripts. This is less than ideal, but it minimises impact. Ideally someone (possibly me) will be
able to expose the input sequence poller helper properly. I tested the changes with the cheat and
autofire plugins and I was able to assign sequences. However I found two issues: it's seems
impossible to assign a more complex sequence than a single key/button in the autofire plugin (i.e.
no AND or NOT conditions, I confirmed this is pre-existing, not a regression), and in both the cheat
and autofire plugins I found it a bit unwieldy trying to enter a complex sequence without live
feedback of the sequence as it's built (this was also applicable to MAME's own input mapping menu
until I added the live display yesterday).
PORT_CONDITION can now enabled/disabled the display of PORT_ADJUSTER
sliders in the UI, i.e.
PORT_START("SOMEPORT")
PORT_ADJUSTER(...) PORT_CONDITION("OTHERPORT", ...)
