- osd windows default keys: move post processing key from lctrl+lalt+f5 to lalt+f10,
- mame default keys: move rewind step from shit+tilde to shift+f4, move cheat from shift+f6 to shift+f8, move quick save/load from (none) to shift+f6/f7
- Pause moved from P to F5
- Step single frame moved from Shift-P to Shift-F5
- Create save state moved from Shift-F7 to F6
- Toggle cheats moved from F6 to Shift-F6
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.
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.
* 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).
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.
* Made it possible to add digital controls to axis settings as enables.
* Mix multiple analog controls assigned to an axis setting.
* Added a "reverse" modifier for analog controls (useful with mixing).
* Fixed an issue assigning mouse axes using multiple mouse-like devices
with -nomultimouse.
-frontend: More cleanup:
* Got rid of some abuse of "special main menus".
* Added a helper class for auto-pause menus that don't spawn submenus.
* Got rid of the fake menu that schedules an exit on the first frame.
* Turned the confirm quit prompt into a menu, eliminated one more
special-cased event loop.
* Fixed the confirm quit prompt resuming if you return to emulation if
you weren't paused to begin with.
-bus/centronics: Fixed conflicting DIP locations, reversed order and
inverted polarity for Epson printers.
* Also added the LX-810 (without L suffix) DIP switches for reference -
we don't have a device for this printer yet.
* Issues were unlikely to actually manifest unless you use controller
configuration files to change specific system input defaults.
-src/emu/output.h: Added size accessor to multi-element output finder.
* std::size will work on the top rank of an outut finder now. Sorry for
hitting emu.h again so soon.
-lua: Exposed a couple more input related things.
* Exposed constructor and a few methods on input_seq required for
scripts to properly clear assignments or restore default settings.
* Exposed ioport_manager::set_type_seq which is required to configure
general input assignments properly.
* Removed unnecessary use of sol::overload in favour of optional
parameters.
* Updated documentation and also fixed a few errors.
-docs: Added description for axis setting assignments.
* If an input is configured to some combination of controls that are not
present at all, ignore the setting altogether for the session.
* Fixed relative axes with PORT_RESET not responding to absolute
controls (MT07685).
* Fixed relative axes not responding to an absolute control if the value
doesn’t change every frame (eg. holding a stick against the stop).
* Changed the scaling for absolute controls assigned to relative axes to
make defaults more sane (e.g. arkanoid or spdheat with a joystick).
-frontend: Fixed some localisation issues in Analog Controls menu.
-docs: Added documentation on assigning inputs.
frontend: Made it so you can press UI On Screen Display to hide the
Analog Controls menu and see the response to your inputs without the
risk of changing settings, and see more axes at once and scroll them for
systems with very large number of axes. Also ensure the axis being
configured is visible when the menu is visible, and made the menu behave
a bit more like the system input assignments menu (including
previous/next group navigation).
frontend: Allow Lua to draw to the UI container - this addresses the
main complaint in #7475. Note that drawing to the UI container will
draw over any UI elements, including menus. Plugins can check
menu_active to avoid drawing over menus. Also removed some unnecessary
use of sol::overload.
frontend: Improved info/image box navigation on the system/softwre
selection menus, and cleaned up some leftover code that came from the
copy/pasted event handling functions.
frontend: Fixed sliders menu not handling Alt+Shift as intended (thanks
Coverity). Fixed a couple of harmless Coverity errors, too.
emu/inpttype.ipp: Made the default assignment for Save State recognise
right shift.
plugins: Added next/previous group navigation to input macro edit menu.
docs: Added basic description of the system and software selection
menus, and corrected a couple of errors in the Lua reference.
* Moved common code for drawing about box, info viewer, and other text box menus to a base class; removed the last of the info viewer logic and the multi-line item hack from the base menu class.
* Added previous/next group navigation for general inputs and plugin input selection menus.
* Moved message catalog logic to lib/util, allowing osd and emu to use localised messages.
* Made the base menu class use the UI manager’s feature for holding session state rather than a static map and mutex.
* Improved menu event handling model, and fixed many issues, particularly with menus behaving badly when hidden/shown.
* Added better support for menus that don’t participate in the usual menu stack, like the menuless sliders and the save/load state menus.
* Made a number of menus refresh state when being shown after being hidden (fixes MT08121 among other issues).
* Fixed indication of mounted slot option in the slot option details menu.
* Improved appearance of background menus when emulation isn't running - draw all menus in the stack, and darken the background menus to make the edges of the active menu clearer.
* Fixed locale issues in -listxml.
-debugger: Made GUI debuggers more uniform.
* Added new memory view features to Win32 debugger.
* Fixed spelling of hexadecimal in Cocoa debugger and added decimal address option.
* Fixed duplicate keyboard shortcut in Cocoa debugger (Shift-Cmd-D was both new device window and 64-bit float format).
* Made keyboard shortcuts slightly more consistent across debuggers.
-plugins: Moved input selection menu and sequence polling code to a common library. Fixed the issue that prevented keyboard inputs being mapped with -steadykey on.
-docs: Started adding some documentation for MAME's internal UI, and updated the list of example front-ends.
-Regenerated message catalog sources. For translators, the new strings are mostly:
* The names of the inputs provided by the OS-dependent layer for things like fullscreen and video features. These show up in the user interface inputs menu.
* The names for automatically generated views. These show up in the video options menu - test with a system with a lot of screens to see more variants.
* The input macro plugin UI.
* A few format strings for analog input assignments.
* A few strings for the about box header.
* Also added a couple of missing command-line options, and added a local
table of contents to the (rather long) command line options page.
-Added a separate CI target for localisation updates that produces an
artefact, and removed the message catalogs from the trigger paths for
the Linux CI build.
Got rid of one of the UI audit inputs. There only needs to be one, and
the options can be presented in the confirmation menu. Two secret
keystrokes is too confusing. Also got rid of the long-obsolete UI
Toggle Debugger input.
Added audit media button to the toolbar so it's a bit less opaque, and
it can be accessed with a mouse/trackball (not just by knowing the key
mapping).
Made default I/O port names localisable.
Made autofire plugin save port fields using the { port, mask, type }
tuple, the same way MAME does. Unfortunately this will break existing
autofire configuration, but it should be more stable going forward.
Added some more UI keys to the default key mappings documentation.
* The UI controls are described as zoom in/out, but they had the
opposite effect on the palette and tile viewers. That has been
changed to make them consistent with the tilemap viewer.
* Made the default zoom key not act as a toggle. People are familiar
with the function of Ctrl+0/=/- in web browsers, so making them behave
similarly in MAME should make it more approachable. Also added the
default zoom key to the relevant documentation page.
* Implemented the default zoom key for the palette and tile viewers.
* In the tilemap viewer, if the view is in default expand to fit mode,
zoom in/out starting from the actual zoom ratio. Once again, this
behaves more like the zoom controls in a web browser displaying an
image so it should be more intuitive.
* Made more messages from the tilemap viewer localisable.
-util/zippath.cpp: Fixed MT08074.
* There were multiple issues at play here. After #8443 was applied,
is_root was simply never returning true on Windows, as OSD_WINDOWS
isn't actually defined outside libosd and libocore. This caused
phantom parent items to appear in disk roots on Windows, but it meant
that the check in zippath_resolve would always fail so the trailing
backslash would be trimmed. Fixing the macro test in is_root meant
the trailing backslash from C:\ would no longer be trimmed, which
caused the stat in zippath_resolve to fail.
-bigbord2.cpp: Hooked up floppy DRQ that had somehow got lost.
-Reduced tag map lookups in several drivers and devices.
-util/coretmpl.h: Removed an overload of bitswap that can be avoided
using if constexpr.
-Added doxygen comments to some classes, and fixed several doxygen
warnings.
-util, osd: Test for _WIN32 rather than WIN32.
* In C++17 mode, WIN32 is no longer a predefined macro, although various
things in 3rdparty define it to maintain legacy support. We're better
off moving forward anyway for when WIN32 disappears entirely. (WIN32
is not a reserved name, while _WIN32 is, starting with an underscore
follwed by an uppercase letter.)
Removed the IPT_POKER_BET, replacing it with IPT_GAMBLE_BET.
Re-organised the order of input types in the source and the
documentation to better reflect how they're logically grouped or
organised on a mahjong or gambling control panel.
Made the blackjack, poker and slots documentation headings subheadings
under the gambling heading.
Cleaned up inputs for a number of gambling games.
* Docs: Overhaul the default keys list
* Second phase of documenting default inputs better, also change Score to Take Score in Mahjong inputs
* Phase two of default keys docs adjustment.
* First completed pass of commandline parameters. (nw)
* Further refinements on commandline (nw)
* Get the audio latency numbers right and add PortAudio info.
* FreeSync/GSync information cleanup.
* Minor additions to G-Sync/FreeSync.
* Add tip for keyboardprovider, remove biospath, correct anchor positioning (nw)
* A few corrections per Vas (nw)
* Update MAME docs revision to 0.216
* Add FAQ question about autofire with walkthrough of setup process.
* Add VSCode .gitignore for RST compilation temporary folder (/docs/source/_build)
* Add a caveat about autofire+normal fire mapping
* Add -lowlatency to the docs.
