* move one usage of Firwmare method into Firmware config where it is better suited
* PathManager - remove unused code
* move some PathEntry specific logic out of PathManger and into PathEntryCollection extension methods
* PathManager - detangle some exe pathing logic from Global.Config usage, clarify what a completely broken method should actuall do
* move more logic from PathManager to PathEntryCollection extension method
* move absolute path creation to PathEntryCollection, lots of refactoring and simplifying of PathEntries usage
* simplify PathEntryColleciton usage more
* simplify PathEntryCollection more
* break PathEntry classes into separate files, a bit of cleanup
* move Rom path logic out of PathManager into PathEntryCollectionExtensions
* move config UseRecentForRoms and LastRomPath into PathEntries, note that this is a breaking change for previous configs, those values will revert back to default values
* move SaveRamPath logic from PathManager to PathEntryCollections
* move cheats path logic from PathManager to PathEntryCollection
* move another method out of PathManager
* move some Retro hacks to PathEntryCollections, exposes more implicit dependencies
* move savestate logic out of PathManager to PathEntryCollection
* move more logic out of PathManager
* move some savestate logic out of PathManager, move most to MainForm where it is used, detangle some implicit dependencies from SaveSlotManager
* rename method
* move more logic from PathManager to PathCollectionEntry
* movie final Global.Config.PathEntries logic out of PathManager and into PathEnties
I did this in a funny way (sets the environment for the process).
The idea is that any code which sloppily used Path.GetTempDirectory (etc.) would now have its pathing changed.
It is a little dangerous to allow this to be changed on the fly (I do allow it) since something may expect it to be stable, but I think it's OK.
So anyway. keep your eyes peeled for problems. It's possible I could do this differently and only affect a subset of safely managed things.
should fix#1252
tweak Binding, RecentFiles, and PathEntry to work with the new serializer. on updating to this revision, you should be able to keep all config.ini settings except for hotkey bindings, path layouts, and recent files list.
start implementation of new CoreSettings and CoreSyncSettings. at the moment, it's only partially done for NES.
