--It doesn't seem like I have to worry about PCECD anymore.
--I also don't think I can validate the CRC32 for .SMV because I don't have the original ROM bytes. This was probably used to compare a ROM loaded by Snes9x with the movie. I added it to the movie header in case a core could utilize it.
--I don't think the "start data" of a .VBM is important. After looking at the docs again, it's clear that it's just another term for either the movie's savestate or SRAM, and that the related note about controller data is just an approximation.
-Added Platforms for Import functions that were missing them.
-Merged the ImportSMV functions all into one; most of the stuff is the same.
-Implemented .SMV 1.51 handling. My Arcade's Revenge run synced and beat the first level!
--This also seems to work for 1.52; 3295S finished Act 2.
--1.53 seems identical as well...3587S syncs all the way through.
-Next comes ImportZMV.
Internally, Gambatte implements this as a full hard reset of everything except saveram. There are comments in the code to suggest that this is appropriate real console behavior...
i don't like doing this, but there were already two emus with special bandaid logic in MainForm.cs
i hope this doesn't break something, but if it does i'll fix it
--Added platform name.
--Handled input.
---The input seems reasonable, but the frame counts were originally off by 2. Because the docs say "The controller data contains <number_of_frames + 1> frames," I connected the two and discarded the first frame read. I also noticed that Snes9x first accepts input at frame 0 whereas BizHawk does at frame 1, so that makes up for the other frame. I think this is correct.
--Apparently, Snes9x adds garbage bytes to the metadata when you play a movie. The stuff we want, however, is before a NULL character. As such, I refurbished RemoveNull into NullTerminated, which takes a string and returns everything before the first NULL character. Now the author will be displayed properly no matter what.
-Removed an unncessary dependence to Global.Emulator.SystemId in Get/SetControllersAsMnemonic which made it so that importing a movie without loading a game resulted in blank frames.
-ImportVBM now actually appends the frames it parses. Looks pretty good.
--Note that BizHawk cannot currently do anything with the platform (GB, GBC, GBA, SGB), nor are any of the "other" buttons handleable.
2) Ram Poke - fix poking of signed/hex values, set the signed value to the value of the address on load, other misc fixes regarding signed
3) Hex Editor - add Poke to menu/context menu and Ctrl+P hotkey
--I think the proper way to obtain this is through the metadata, which I still don't know how to handle.
-Fixed the savestate offset.
-Parsed out the CRC32 of the ROM, though I haven't done anything to validate this, which is probably a good idea.
in order to guarantee correct resolution of mappings and mmio every time, all calls go straight to the core and are not cached
this makes this domain slower in performance than the other ones. it can also be more difficult to use in some cases because you have to resolve mappings that you may not care about.
there is also the possibility of side-effects on reads, although i do not believe that this actually happens in any situations. still, use at your own risk.
--Handled authors, gametype, systemid, coreversion, rom.sha256, moviesram.*, savestate, and subtitles.
--Skipped port1, port2, controlsversion, projectid, saveframe, lagcounter, pollcounters, hostmemory, screenshot, sram.*, rrdata, starttime.*, savetime.*, and prefix.
---I don't think any of these are useful for us, at least not at this stage.
---The other *.sha256 files will be useful if / when BS-X, Sufami turbo, and SGB are implemented.
--Handled flags.
---Handled resets.
---Disallowed subframes and delayed resets.
-.LSMV is good enough for now. .SMV and .ZMV coming next.
