emu/sound.cpp: Made -volume in source file INI or higher priority
context take precedence over volume read from CFG file. This matches
behaviour of -bgfx_screen_chains.
emu/input.cpp: Made explicit -no{mouse|joystick|lightgun} take
precedence over -{mouse|trackball|adstick|paddle}_device etc. from lower
priority levels.
Alos got rid of a bunch of unnecessary simple_list.
Use VirtualAlloc rather than VirtualProtect on Windows to change page
protection, as the latter can cause severe performance issues with some
antivirus software.
Added noexcept to lots of hash- and bitmap-related things, and added a
little more error checking. Yes, I realise it will abort if an
allocation fails while printing a log message, but if you get to that
point, you're probably screwed already.
* Moved several machine lifecycle callbacks to the notifier/subscriber
model. The old callback registration model is still available for
them for now, but prints a deprecation warning.
* Added pre-save/post-load notifications.
* Use a single allocated timer rather than one anonymous timer per
waiter. Waiters no longer prevent saved states from being loaded.
* Clean up outstanding waiters on stop or state load rather than just
leaking them.
* Started documenting parts of the emulator interface object that should
be relatively stable.
-imagedev/avivideo.cpp: Fixed an object leak on unload. Also changed
some other media image devices to use smart pointers.
- Remove the seterror method for recording error messages and conditions. Condition codes have been made return values for call_load, call_create and various related callbacks. Error messages (which many devices weren't generating) are now displayed through osd_printf_error.
- Eliminate the image_init_result and image_verify_result pass/fail enumeration types. Update many functions that were returning these enumerations or simply bools to return std::error_condition instead. In some cases, this type is now passed down from internal parsing/loading functions which were already returning it. In various other cases, the former default UNSPECIFIED has been used as a catchall for I/O errors; anticipated future refactorings should make these error returns more specific.
- Expand the image_error categories to include INVALIDLENGTH, NOSOFTWARE and BADSOFTWARE. The first is largely self-explanatory. The second is generated by the core to indicate failure to find software items in lists. The third is provided for devices to indicate semantic errors in software list entries.
- Change the return type of floppy_image_device::identify to a pair so the potential error condition can be passed along to the UI without storing it in a member variable.
- Move device_image_interface::message down into snapshot_image_device and change its implementation to use string_format instead of printf.
- Correct a typo in the shortname of the generic snapshot device.
Functionally, the only difference between the system definitions is that
GAMEL lets you specify an additional internal layout and SYST lets you
specify a compatible system. COMP and CONS are just aliases for SYST -
the aliases can be phased out.
Removed arcade.flt and mess.flt altogether - opinion seems to be split
between misinterpreting them as fully supported and considering them
unnecessary. They were marginally useful as a performance test for
makedep.py, but that isn't important. We still have nl.flt as an
example .flt file (although it doesn't use "-" exclude directives).
Moved the UI active flag from the machine to the UI manager. Nothing
else uses it anyway (it's still accessible to scripts).
This avoids creating a table every time the state property of a device
is accessed, adds proper support for getting/setting floating/point
state entries from Lua, calls the state entry's formatting method to
convert to a string (for flags fields, etc.) and exposes more
properties.
This is a breaking change as the exposed properties on state entries
have changed, and the value property has different semantics for
floating-point state entries.
Compile Lua as C++. When Lua is compiled as C, it uses setjmp/longjmp
for error handling, resulting in failure to unwind intermediate stack
frames. Trying to ensure no objects with non-trivial destructors are in
scope when raising a Lua error is error-prone. In particular,
converting an exception to a Lua error becomes convoluted, and raising a
Lua error from a constructor is effectively impossible.
Updated Lua to 5.4.4 - this includes a brand-new garbage collector
implementation with better performance. The main thing removed is the
deprecated bitlib.
Updated sol2 to version 3.3.0 - this adds support for Lua 5.4 and fixes
a number of issues, including not correctly handling errors when Lua is
built as C++.
Updated LuaFileSystem to version 1.8.0 - this adds support for symbolic
links on Windows, as well as Lua 5.4 compatibility.
Updated LuaSQLite3 to version 0.9.5 - this fixes issues in
multi-threaded environments, as well as Lua 5.4 compatibility.
Fixed double-free after attempting to construct a debugger expression
from Lua with an invalid string, and exposed expression error to Lua in
a better way.
Added warning level print function to Lua.
Fixed saving cheats with shift operators in expressions, although this
code isn't actually used as there's no cheat editor.
osd/modules/input, emu/inpttype.cpp: Made most default joystick
assignments supplied by input modules. Input modules take available
controls into consideration when generating default assignments.
emu/inpttype.ipp: Added a separate "Back" UI input separate from Cancel.
You may want an easier to hit combination for moving to the previous
menu than for exiting or cancelling input. They both default to Escape.
emu/inpttype.ipp: Added a UI Help control. Currently only used by
analog inputs menu
emu/inpttype.h: Moved I/O port field type enum to its own header and
sorted UI controls so they appear in a more logical order.
ui: Don't use UI Select to restore defaults - people should be getting
used to the UI Clear input by now. UI Select cycles multi-value items
instead.
ui/inputmap.cpp: Don't use immediate cancel to cycle between clearing
and restoring default assignment (use UI Clear instead).
osd: Reduced the number of files needing to include the dreaded emu.h.
Got some implementation out of headers.
emu/input.cpp: Fixed regression in display of some joystick inputs.
osd/interface: Split up interface classes into a few more files to
reduce where the input device interface class needs to be included.
Made OSD independent of concrete input_device class.
osd/modules/input, emu/inputdev.cpp, emu/ioport.cpp: Allow input devices
to provide tokens for controls without standard item types and
additional default input assignments. Fixes issues assigning Yen and
Backslash on Japanese keyboards.
ui/textbox.cpp: Added a fixed-content text box menu class for future
use.
Got main.h out of emu.h as it’s only used in a very small number of
places, mostly for getting the application name. Added eminline.h to
attotime.h as it's used without emu.h. Cleaned up forward declarations
in emufwd.h a little.
Made explanation of interaction between device class enable options
(-[no]mouse, -[no]joystick, -[no]lightgun) and automatic device class
enable options (-*_device) more explicit. Also documented that
-mouse_device mouse is set by default in both relevant places.
Provided a better explanation of the purpose of -dual_lightgun.
osd: Supply OSD object to modules on initialisation. Encapsulated some
event handling in the OSD objects rather than leaving it in free
functions. Put various stuff in namespaces.
osd/modules/input: Enabled dinput, xinput and winhybrid modules for
Windows SDL builds, and enabled background input for dinput and xinput
(and by extension winhybrid) modules. Also fixed some COM and X11
resource leaks.
osd/modules/input/input_sdl.cpp: Flipped SDL mouse button order to match
Windows, and exposed vertical and horizontal scroll as Z and rZ axes.
Moved SDL UI event handling out of input devices into OSD object.
osd/modules/input_rawinput.cpp: Changed lightgun Z axis token so it's
correctly identified as a relative axis (it maps to the scroll wheel
equivalent).
osd: Added an option to choose the network provider module. Mostly
useful if you build with both TUN/TAP and pcap support included, or if
you want to disable emulated networking completely.
emu/input.cpp: Use a better strategy for assembling input code names
that uses fewer temporary strings and doesn't require use of the
non-Unicode-aware space trimming function (fixes MT08552).
osd/modules/input_dinput.cpp: Improved polling logic.
osd: Made various parts of the input code less dependent on concrete emu
objects, and reduced inappropriately passing around the machine object.
Made input modules less dependent on OSD implementation. Encapsulated
some stuff and got rid of some vestigial newui and SDL1 support code.
Cleaned up some interfaces. Moved OSD options classes to their own
files.
Prepare to remove main.h from emu.h - it's mostly used to get the
application name, which the vast majority of emulated devices don't need
to do.
ui/analogipt.cpp: Fixed bar graph display for fields with ranges
that wrap through zero.
emu/inputdev.cpp: Separateed analog axis deadzone and switch threshold
settings, reduced default deadzone, and fixed a potential division by
zero if the deadzone and saturation settings are equal.
emu/ioport.cpp: Fixed behaviour of absolute analog fields where range
passes through zero - it previously only worked for specific
combinations of mask, minimum and default. Removed a workaround from
universal/getaway.cpp that is no longer necessary.
emu/input.cpp: Fixed unintuitive behaviour when an absolute field is
assigned an OR combination of a relative control folled by an absolute
control (e.g. Mouse X or Joy 1 LSX). Also fixed reading axis input
sequences where an axis code is followed by a switch code (these can
only be produced by manually editing configuration files, not through
MAME's UI), and fixed the returned type when multiple relative axes sum
to zero.
osd/modules/input_dinput.cpp: Fixed hat switches being stuck in up
position when input is suspended in the background
taito/taitoio_yoke.cpp: Give throttle control a distinct type, and don't
auto-centre.
osd: Added option to select MIDI provider module (currently only
PortMidi and the dummy module are available). Also put various things
in namespaces, and fixed builds including SDL sound module with native
Windows OSD.
emu/validity.cpp: Added check to catch I/O port fields using UI input
types.
emu/inpttype.ipp: Renamed inputs that were causing confusion. "Bill"
and "Track" were causing confusion for translators and hence likely
causing confusion for many users, especially those who are not native
English speakers. "Track" as an abbreviation for "Trackball" was
frequently being mistranslated, e.g. in the sense of a CD track
selection button or even in the sense of a railway track. There's no
reason to abbreviate it. "Bill" in the US English sense as a banknote
is too ambiguous and was causing confusion for translators. It's better
to use the less ambiguous "Banknote". Corrected Greek translations of
"Trackball".
Don't run GitHub Actions on issue template changes.
This changes behaviour, however I think it's a net positive:
* Most games using Steam Input or SDL2 to read game controllers have
this behaviour, so users have come to expect it.
* This module is better at giving meaningful names to buttons on
common controller, and assigning axes consistently.
* Button/axis mapping files using a widely-used format are supported.
* The old behaviour is still available with `-joystickprovider sdljoy`
if anyone wants it.
The new option for controller mapping files is in the general OSD
options rather than SDL options as it can be extended to DirectInput in
the future.
* Added initial support for XInput controller subtypes, starting with
driving, arcade and flight controllers.
* Check XInput capabilities to ignore buttons and hats that aren't
present.
* Added preliminary SDL Game Controller joystick provider. Reconnection
and mixed Game Controller/Joystick devices are unsupported.
* Show the input token for the highlighted control on input device
menus.
-ui: Allow menus to set required space above and below menu when metrics
change. Fixes the initial bad layout on the system selecton menu, or
bad layout after resizing windows.
docs: Expanded C++ guidelines following suggestions by P. Mackinlay.
ui/inifile.cpp: Got rid of the check for "arcade" systems - it broke
managing favourites for the slotted Neo Geo.
luaengine.cpp: Removed the "type" property from system driver metadata.
It's effectively deprecated.
bus/vme/vme_fcisio.cpp, commodore/mps1230.cpp: Fixed inappropriate use
of machine type flag constants.
megadriv.xml: Made notes about the two Galaxy Force 2 sets more explcit.
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.
