Cxbx Todo (* denotes high priority, + denotes medium priority)
* Use SetAllParameters to reverse engineer 3911 DSound functions
* Stella has a memory leak in the game's list screen..
* SetPushBufferSize -> 0x184CC0 (Halo)..too small to detect?
* DirectSoundUseFullHRTF -> 0x192D8C (Halo)..too small to detect?
* Palette needs to actually be used, not just allowed to execute.
* Check if 4361 Resource8_Release is the same as 4627 & 3925 (3911)
* Configurable dead zone, for touchy controllers
* Push Buffer Size is stored in a global. This may be important (hard to tell)
* Perhaps for global variable detection, have some sort of array of
function + offset pairs to check. That way if an Xbe happens to not
use a particular function (wont get linked in), there are other chances
to locate the variable. In the even that none are found, the global ptr
should be set to NULL, and any references to it should not assume it
will not be NULL.
* Special temporarily X_D3DResource handles need to be kept track of and
periodically garbage collected. Garbage collection frequency can be a
core configuration option.
* Register() probably needn't re-unswizzle each time. cache a copy of
the address it was registered to (or a global table) and simply update
the data pointer to that IDirect3DTexture8 instance.
* Support cards that just plain dont have 32 bit color?
* The notorious Heap Allocation crash still needs to be solved on a low
level. It is strongly preferable to debug this instead of having to
intercept the entire Rtl heap set of functions.
* Stabilize TLS (it's close...)
+ Closing a console should not terminate the entire process.
+ Perfect the timing on KeTickCount. This can be updated along with the
Xbox-Never-Sleeps, which would give much higher precision than the
current seperate-thread method.
+ Some sort of delete-after-emulation type of functionality?
+ Use SetDataFormat instead of parsing device input by hand?
+ Batch config all buttons (should be very easy..just click one by one)
+ Configuration screens may not necessarily need to be modal windows.
+ Xbe file associations via user configuration. This could include an
option to either automatically execute the Xbe, or simply open it up
in Cxbx's main window. For this purpose, Cxbx.dll should also be
registered in the system so that a converted Exe can run from anywhere.
Converted Exe files should use the Cxbx icon
When loading a file, menus and WM_CLOSE should be disabled and an update
progress should be sent via callback from core.
Encapsulate RecentFiles into a nice little class
Allow a logo bitmap to be added if one does not exist. This may require that
the size of headers be increased. (sizeof_headers).
