-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.
This is (almost, bar some local resource hacks) enough to start the
emulator on Linux/Mono, load a ROM and watch the demo (input and
audio don't work yet).
