2. Changed StopOnEnd to StopOnFrame. This expands the functionality so that you can tell the emulator to run and then stop at a predetermined point.
3. Expanded the functionality of RewindToFrame to handle more cases. Now you can go back or even forward to a frame and it handles the execution and greenzone appropriately.
4. Due to the change in structure some code was changed to check the index of the first and last saved states in the greenzone rather than relying on the size of the saved state list.
5. Changed the list of saved states in the movie log from a list of byte[] to a list of structures (the structure has an int for the index and byte[] for the state).
6. Saved an init state in the movie log. This is used to go back to the beginning if the beginning of the movie is no longer in the list of saved states.
7. Expanded the AddState and SetFrameAt logic in the movie log to account for the fact that the size of the saved state list is now capped.
8. Fixed a bug in the log interpretation for SMS.
9. Fixed a bug in the sms virtual controller, buttons 1 and 2 were hooked to the wrong objects.
10. Fixed the tastudio listview to show lag as pink.
-Made it so that each new search zeroes out the change count.
--This prevents all non-zero items from starting out with 1 change.
--A similar fix needs to be applied to Ram Watch (Filing issue...).
-Allowed changing data size, endian, and unaligned address setting in the middle of the search and maintaining valid values, fixing Issue 72 (The last open Ram Search issue until my "Difference" idea is hopefully accepted).
--Unlike my previous model, this does not align unaligned addresses; all it does is change the size / endian and PeekAddress.
--It does remove unaligned addresses, however, if you have it set to.
--This version converts System Bus instantly whereas the previous version stopped responding.
2. Fixed issues with the light blue current frame pointer in tastudio
3. Removed a totally useless index that was being kept seperately in the movie log.
4. Moved the tastudio update after the check to see if the rest of the saved state list is valid.
5. Changed some function/variable names related to the movie log for clarity.
1. Added a list of save states to the movie log.
2. Added corresponding support functions for the save states.
3. Added double click to the list view to load a previous frame.
4. Added a context menu to the list view with insert and delete.
5. Fixed some issues with the green zone of valid state history.
6. Fixed an input bug that I had unwittingly created, as well as issues with the nes log format.
1. Hooked up Fast Forward, Fast Forward to End
2. Made a placeholder for Turbo Fast Forward.
3. Fixed rewind to not stomp on the previous frame with new input.
4. Fixed rewind to stop at the beginning of the movie instead of freaking out.
5. TAStudio now shows data from the most recent frame.
6. CommitFrame is called even if not recording so played back frames also show up in TAStudio.
7. Play mode only stops at the end of the movie if you tell it to. Your emulator normally continues to play with no input after the end of the movie.
8. TAStudio is now updated after a rewind (even though the rewind doesn't play a new frame).
9. Split the tools update into before and after updates.
10. Going into read-only mode adjusts the movie mode.
11. Implemented New, Open, Save, and Save As for TAStudio.
12. Fixed an issue where frames past the end of the log would default to the input from the last frame of the log.
13. Fixed a problem where you couldn't rewind to frame 0.
14. Fixed a scrolling issue in the TAStudio list view.
15. Fixed an issue with the TAStudio virtual NES controller not matching up with the log.
16. Fixed an issue where the NES reset button would get held in when rewinding.
17. Added/Modified a couple of button graphics.
-No info on the control bytes, so I'm not dealing with them right now.
-It seems like there's an extra byte for at the beginning of input for NES that doesn't exist for PCE.
--I think it might be the "1 byte for power-on and reset" that the docs refer to, though I'm not sure why this would exist for NES and not PCE...because NES supports control commands and PCE doesn't?
--Perhaps this will become more apparent if I write the importers for SMS, GG, GB, and GBA. I'll need access to a Linux machine to do these, though.
--FDS commands in ImportFMV.
--Bad ROM checksums in ImportText. TaoTao: There's nothing wrong with using warningMsg; it just is limited to showing the first warning message that occurs.
-ImportNMV
--Nintendulator's Four Score recording is seemingly broken.
TODO: ImportMCM clean-up / expansion, Intellivision research.
-Finished ImportVMV:
--I'm not sure what the following comment means: "For the other control bytes, if a key from 1P to 4P (whichever one) is entirely ON, the following 4 bytes becomes the controller data." I'm going to assume this is a bad translation that is the equivalent of my 4 controllers = 4 bytes comment.
--Nesmock has a block of code that seems to handle, or at least account for, commands (Lines 207 - 239 of virtuanes.hh). I don't do anything about this, but it doesn't seem like Nesmock does much of anything about it either. I'll ignore this for now.
TODO: ImportNMV, clean up ImportMCM, and perhaps support other platforms for .MCM, although everyone thinks it's a waste...I like writing importers! I'm afraid of writing cores!
-Made it so that .tas is appended to the file path instead of changing the extension to it.
-Added default emu/MovieOrigin comments to the importers that don't have explicit ones.
-ImportVMV header / added blank frames
-Moved the MnemonicsGenerator declarations outside of the loops.
TODO: Finish ImportVMV (I don't think the provided documentation explains how the input works...) and figure out if my re-record count is off by one or if TASVideos.org is.
-Fixed ImportFMV's movie title; before, I mistook it for the game name.
-Made "comment" and "SyncHack" constants.
-Moved the "ControllerDefinition"s outside of all of the loops.
-ImportGMV:
--Emulation Version => Movie Version.
--Added the PAL header.
--Made it so that the 6-button error is a warning; considering that the code already properly handles the controller properly and all that needs to be done is have Bizhawk actually support that kind of input, I don't feel there's a reason to go so far as to kill the conversion in this case.
--Reformatting.
---Notably, I added a player loop to simplify the frame data.
--It seems that 1937M uses a 6-button recording and 1731M has 2-player input...bizarre. Anyway, this means that ImportGMV should be good now.
TODO: ImportVMV, ImportNMV, ImportMCM, ImportSMV, Atari core? :)
-Fixed InputAdapters with regards to the Genesis 3-Button Controller. It previously did not have a flag placeholder.
Potential issues that I don't have the time to investigate right now:
-When importing 1937M, I get the error "6 button controllers are not supported." Is this a false positive?
-The result of importing 1731M seems sane, but has 2-player input. This run is classified as "One player in a multiplayer game". Is this input normal?
--Because there are way more bytes used to represent the other GUIDs than this one, I just appended -0000-0000-0000-000000000000 to this per zeromus' request.
-Got rid of the hex part of the BytesToString function. We apparently have BizHawk.Util.BytesToHexString.
-Converted BytesToString to r.ReadStringFixedAscii, an extension method. I've determined that extension methods are cool and that I should use them more often.
-Fixed some error and warning messages:
--Made it so that the first .FCM warning is shown instead of the last.
--Added an error for .FCM files that aren't version 2.
--Did the same for ImportVBM, but with version 1.
-Cleaned up comments / code throughout.
-Fixed the file format for GBx; it had an extra bar which made reading Player 1 impossible.
-Seemingly finished ImportVBM.
--The results seem same. I have no way of testing whether they sync up or not.
--As I can't actually handle additional controllers, I just skip the bytes for them.
--As I can't actually handle the miscellaneous buttons and commands (Ex. L, R, Reset), I just give warnings whenever they come up in the file.
TODO: ImportGMV, ImportVMV, ImportNMV, and maybe ImportSMV...I'm going to need a new assignment soon! :)
-Set the buttons to the opposite state when they are updated.
--Presumably, this is how this works.
-Read the delta bytes.
TODO: Figure out where in the world the writing of frames actually comes into play. Bisqwit gave me some insight on this.
-Set the buttons to the opposite state when they are updated.
--Presumably, this is how this works.
-Read the delta bytes.
TODO: Figure out where in the world the writing of frames actually comes into play.
-Added a FourScore header and applied it to ImportFile and ImportFCM.
--Not sure if there's any equivalent header for FMV/FCM.
-Seemingly have the update bytes being read properly.
TODO: Make ImportFCM actually utilize the update bytes to write frames.
-Added PAL handling to ImportText.
-Finished the header and metadata of ImportFCM.
TODO:
-Input handling for ImportFCM.
-Find out what the format for the FDS data is on FMV, as it occurs to me that I already handle FDS data in ImportText by giving warnings, so I might as well do the same thing in this case.
-Figure out whether or not I should be using "using" for the BinaryReader objects, as it seems like they do in fact have .Close() methods.
-There's "FDS data" stored in the frames of FDS recording. I have no idea how to handle this. If we do in fact support these features, they should be utilized in the TODO section provided.
-99M syncs with this...isn't this a problem? Wouldn't this imply that bizhawk is as inaccurate as Famtasia? I'm pretty sure this run didn't sync when I tried it on my now broken NESBot.
TODO: I guess I'll try to move on to ImportFCM now. Although I heard this is a difficult format to work with, my favorite console is the NES, and this'd be useful for console verification if the NESBot Lua script gets adapted for bizhawk, so I think I'll give it a shot.
-Added RemoveNull to get rid of the null characters in the author and game names for .MMV.
-Formatted the MD5 for .MMV.
TODO:
-Write ImportFMV. I think I understand how these formats work well enough to try this now.
