* Created softlist for Timex cassettes (timex_cass)
Timex computer emulation is currently using the Spectrum softlist for cassettes, but many of those entries are actually incompatible unless the "Spectrum Emulator" cartridge is being used.
So I've created their own compatible (depending on the model) softlist, with every actual Timex dump I could find in World of Spectrum and Spectrum Computing.
These should work with the Timex "equivalents" to the Spectrum 48K and their clones:
-TS2068
-UK2086
-TC2068 (not currently emulated, or is it exactly the same as the UK2086?)
-Komputer 2086 (not currently emulated)
And some of them should work with the Timex equivalents of the Spectrum 16K:
-TC2048
-TC2048 (NTSC) (not currently emulated)
-TS2048 (prototype) (not currently preserved)
I've noticed that many of the TZX dumps were fake ones made from TAP files (so the real pauses between blocks were lost), so I just added the TAPs for those while any real TZXs are created.
Also, there were a few bad dumps of which I could only fix one at the moment, but they seem to load in Fuse anyway so I've left them in the softlist, labeled as such.
Also included some initial notes on the cassette dumps at the beginning of it, based on the spectrum_cass softlist but more to the point.
* Hooked up timex_cass to the TS2064 and TC2048
Now the TS2064 and TC2048 systems use both the spectrum_cass and timex_cass softlists.
Also, small fixes.
* Fixed interface types

Spider-Man Super TV Air Jet (Lexibook Junior, JG6000SP) [Team Europe]
The free-for-all on labels in software lists is not working. There's no
consistency, labels are getting excessively long, people are starting to
use non-ASCII characters in labels making it harder for others to type
them when manipulating files on the command line, and there's too much
markup being put in labels.
The length limit is 127 characters, same as for labels in MAME itself.
This should be long enough to be descriptive. Remember that the Win32
path limit is 260 characters, and many applications and frameworks have
issues with longer paths, including Windows Explorer and the .NET
framework. Labels are used as filenames, so concessions need to be
made for this.
I have not abbreviated excessively long labels myself - they're
currently causing 135 validity errors. Someone else can fix them.
Printable ASCII characters are allowed, with a few exceptions. The
exceptions are limited to characters most likely to cause issues for
interactive shells and scripts:
* ! - csh event substitution (very difficult to escape properly)
* $ - sh varibale expansion
* % - csh job control, cmd variable expansion
* / - UNIX directory separator
* : - sh path separator, Windows drive qualifier
* \ - sh escape, Windows directory separator
Most of the labels that had to be edited were using ! for markup, or
using ! and % for titles in labels. Strangely, titles in labels are
often forced to lower case, despite this never being enforced for
software lists. There are also various other edits to titles used for
labels, such as moving articles to the end (with or without a comma),
or replacing spaces with underscores. As I already said, there's no
consistency at all.
There is far too much markup in labels. They're even being used for
notes in some cases (e.g. at least one case where a dumper's name is in
the label). The XML schema supports metadata - use it. For example,
you can use part_id for an unrestricted display name for a software
part. You can also use XML comments for notes.
And while on the topic of metadata, vgmplay.xml is putting the same
thing in the part_id as well as the label. The part_id should have
the actual title, not the title mangled to make it more suitable for
use as a filename. Addressing this would be a lot of work, given how
large the file is.
For now, empty data areas in software lists cause a verbose message
rather than a validation warning. There are thousands of software
lists using empty data areas to indicate the size/width of cartridge
RAM/EEPROM/etc.
