* 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.)
emu/ioport.cpp: Allow controller files to override input sequences for
inputs that don't use defaults, and to override the toggle setting for
digital inputs.
emu/config.cpp: Expose configuration level (mostly matters for
controller files), improved verbose diagnostic messages, and moved a few
things out of the global and preprocessor namespaces.
docs: Added documentation for some controller configuration file
features. The device mapping feature documentation will be merged in at
some point.
util/unicode.cpp, emu/input.cpp: API cleanups.
Update compilingmame.rst
* Changes in macOS section regarding current build requirements
* Added basic info for Apple Silicon to macOS build instructions.
* Added note explaining that view options saved in machine CFG take
precedence over INI/command line.
* Added prerequisites for building HTML documentation under MSYS2 and
Fedora Linux.
* Explicitly mentioned that Ubuntu modifies GCC to enable "fortify
source" by default in the relevant section.
* Removed obsolete reference to glibstdc++6.
* Re-formated compiling guide source (hard wrap at 80 columns,
typographical quotes, code blocks for sample command lines).
-genie.lua: Show GCC ignored attribute warnings, but don't fail for
them.
Made the sound manager mute controls readable, and got rid of system
enable since it just controls system mute anyway. This was causing
confusion: phantom2 was trying to use both independentlyt casuing the
mute bit to be ignored.
THe Lua interface changes are mostly changing methods to properties,
some renames to make things clearer, and some additional properties for
better control over snapshots.
Exposed the "native snapview" option on the video manager. Trying to
use presence of a single view is a poor proxy that breaks with
multi-screen systems.
Allow rotation to be changed for native snapshot views, and disable the
zoom to screen area control when it has no effect on the selected view.
Treat an empty string identically to "auto" for view selectction.
Previously this was being used for prefix matching so it would force the
first view. (This caused the bad snapshot view selection. It had been
relying on "internal" not being a common view name prefix so it fell
through to automatic selection, but when changed to an empty string it
forced the first view.)
Documented "auto" as well as "native" for the -snapview option and
changed the default to auto rather than an empty string for consistency
with the -viewN options.
Added [w]string_view handlers to the stuff that's instantiated in
strformat.cpp since we'll be increasingly using them.
Cleaned up and updated some documentation.
More Lua interface cleanup, additional properties and methods, and
documentation migration/expansion.
Emulated switch inputs can have "not" codes applied to host input axis
directions. It works the same way as host switch inputs - push twice
for a "not" prefix.
Input polling helpers no longer need to store state in the input device
items. There’s less leakage, and less chance of things interfering with
each other.
Allow snapshot view options to be configured through the internal UI via
the video options menu. Made video options menus place initial focus on
the currently selected view item. Removed some crud from the menu base
class.
Fixed the description of the "snapview" option. The value to get raw
screen pixels was changed to "native" a long time ago but the
description was never updated.
Re-arranged the Golden Poker button lamps so that the 6-button layouts
for Jolli Witch and Wild Witch make sense. In 6-button mode, the hold
buttons double as bonus game and bet buttons, but the lamp outputs don't
change. The simplest way to deal with this without requiring the user
to switch views or using layout scripting is to place the dedicated
buttons directly below the hold buttons that correspond to them.
Removed some software list data that was redundantly copied into
device_image_interface (m_supported was never even set, so it didn't
even work), and made crc() work better (previously it wasn't
recalculuated after unloading and loading another image).
Made strformat.h and devcb.h play nicer with C++17 and pre-standard
C++20. Format precision now correctly limits the length of string
views. Confirmed that strformat.{h,cpp} works with pre-standard C++20
support in GCC 9.
Removed an auto_alloc from cpu/arm7.
* Cleaned up some more of the Lua inteface. Mostly replacing methods
with properties, some consistency fixes, a few renames, some more
exposed functionality, and a couple of properties that have no
business being set from scripts made read-only.
* Moved a lot more Lua documentation out of source comments into the
documentation, and expanded on it in the process.
* Got more UI code out of the input manager.
* Changed input sequence poller to a polymorphic class where you
specify your intention upfront.
* Changed the cheat plugin to use UI Clear to clear hotkey assignments
and leave them unchanged if the user starts assignment but doesn't
press any switches.
* Ported AJR's fix for over-eager double-click recognition from SDL to
Windows OSD.
-goldnpkr.cpp: Cleaned up inputs, using standard keyout and payout types
and key assignments.
* Started moving Lua class reference to docs. Expecting people to find
the class reference material in the source isn’t going to help make it
approachable. The docs allow longer explanations, better formatting,
and cross reference links.
* Added another layout scripting example to the docs.
-goldnpkr.cpp: Minor clean-up.
* Improved the short names for Witch Card and Witch Game clone sets.
* Made Witch Up & Down artwork clickable.
* Added working Video Klein sets where the parent is a working Video
Klein set to the tiny subtarget.
* Removed history from the header comment - we have version control for
a readon.
* Modernised and cleaned up Lua bindings for input classes.
* Exposed the input_sequence_poller class to Lua and updated the
autofire and cheat plugins to use it, rather than continuing to
pretend it's part of the input manager.
* Exposed more of the natural keyboard manager, including the ability
to enable/disable individual keyboard and keypad devices like you
can from the keyboard mode menu.
* Exposed a few more things on ioport_port and input_device.
-plugins/cheat: Fixed menu item not updating visually when disabling a
cheat with UI Left.
-plugins/cheatfind: Fixed not finding the first screen after screen
enumerator was exposed as an object rather than using a table.
-bwidow.cpp, pacman.cpp: Minor cleanup to recent changes.
* Removed .mask(), as it’s not reliable in the general case.
* Added asserts to things that assume power-of-two sizes.
* Got rid of virtual qualifier on pointer-to-member operator.
* Made helpers a bit more assertive about logging warnings.
-emu/rendlay.cpp: Use delegates to avoid hot conditional branches.
-docs: Finished off description of object finders and output finders.
* Made it an error to specify address map and explicit ROM region.
* Made it an error if explicitly specified ROM region is not found.
* Made the ROM region tag apply relative to the current device.
-Cleaned up formatting for a couple more documentation pages.
* Harmonised memory region/share finder/creator APIs.
* Moved .found() to optional object finders.
* Added truth test operator to optional object finders.
* Fixed things that were testing .found() on required object finders.
* Improved Doxygen API documentation.
-dec8.cpp: Moved csilver to its own state class.
-docs: Added some notes about setting up and using MSYS2.
API impact:
- install_ram/rom/writeonly now requires a non-null pointer. If you want
automatically managed ram, add it to a memory map, not in machine_start
- install_*_bank now requires a memory_bank *, not a string
- one can create memory banks outside of memory maps with memory_bank_creator
- one can create memory shares outside of memory maps with memory_share_creator
Memory maps impact:
- ram ranges with overlapping addresses are not shared anymore. Use .share()
- ram ranges touching each other are not merged anymore. Stay in your range
Extra note:
- there is no need to create a bank just to dynamically map some memory/rom.
Just use install_rom/ram/writeonly
