Update to v088r15 release.

Changelog:
- default placement of presentation window optimized for 1024x768
displays or larger (sorry if yours is smaller, move the window
yourself.)
- Direct3D waits until a previous Vblank ends before waiting for the
next Vblank to begin (fixes video timing analysis, and ---really---
fast computers.)
- Window::setVisible(false) clears modality, but also fixed in Browser
code as well (fixes loading images on Windows hanging)
- Browser won't consume full CPU resources (but timing analysis will,
I don't want stalls to affect the results.)
- closing settings window while analyzing stops analysis
- you can load the SGB BIOS without a game (why the hell you would want
to ...)
- escape closes the Browser window (it won't close other dialogs, it has
to be hooked up per-window)
- just for fun, joypad hat up/down moves in Browser file list, any
joypad button loads selected game [not very useful, lacks repeat, and
there aren't GUI load file open buttons]
- Super Scope and Justifier crosshairs render correctly (probably
doesn't belong in the core, but it's not something I suspect people
want to do themselves ...)
- you can load GB, SGB, GB, SGB ... without problems (not happy with how
I did this, but I don't want to add an Interface::setInterface()
function yet)
- PAL timing works as I want now (if you want 50fps on a 60hz monitor,
you must not use sync video) [needed to update the DSP frequency when
toggling video/audio sync]
- not going to save input port selection for now (lot of work), but it
will properly keep your port setting across cartridge loads at least
[just goes to controller on emulator restart]
- SFC overscan on and off both work as expected now (off centers image,
on shows entire image)
- laevateinn compiles properly now
- ethos goes to ~/.config/bsnes now that target-ui is dead [honestly,
I recommend deleting the old folder and starting over]
- Emulator::Interface callbacks converted to virtual binding structure
that GUI inherits from (simplifies binding callbacks)
- this breaks Super Game Boy for a bit, I need to rethink
system-specific bindings without direct inheritance
Timing analysis works spectacularly well on Windows, too. You won't get
your 100% perfect rate (unless maybe you leave the analysis running
overnight?), but it'll get really freaking close this way.

Update to v089r08 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- Super Game Boy, BS-X Satellaview and Sufami Turbo cartridges all load
manifests that specify their file names, and they all work
- Sufami Turbo can now properly handle carts without RAM, or empty slots
entirely
- Emulator::Interface structures no longer specify any file names, ever
- exposed "capability.(cheats,states)" now. So far, this just means the
GBA doesn't show the cheat editor, since it doesn't support cheat
codes yet
- as such, state manager and cheat editor windows auto-hide (may be
a tiny bit inconvenient, but it makes not having to sync them or deal
with input when no cart is loaded easier)
- added "AbsoluteInput" type, which returns mouse coordinates from
-32767,-32767 (top left) to +32767,+32767 (bottom right) or
-32768,-32768 (offscreen)
AbsoluteInput is just something I'm toying with. Idea is to support eg
Super Scope or Justifier, or possibly some future Famicom controllers
that are absolute-indexed. The coordinates are scaled, so the bigger
your window, the more precise they are. But obviously you can't get more
precise than the emulated system, so 1x scale will behave the same
anyway. I haven't hooked it up yet, need to mess with the idea of custom
cursors via phoenix for that first. Also not sure if it will feel
smoother or not ... if you resize the window, your mouse will seem to
move slower. Still, not having to capture the mouse for SS/JS may be
nicer yet. But we'll see ... just experimenting for now.

void saveRequest(unsigned id, const string &path);

Update to v088r08 release.
byuu says:
From this WIP, I'm starting on the impossible task of
a declarative-based GUI, which I'm calling Ethos.
base/ becomes emulator/, and we add emulator/interface.hpp, which is
a base API that all emulation cores must implement in full.
(Right now, it's kind of a hybrid to work with the old GUI and the new
GUI at the same time, of course.)
Unlike the old interfaces, the new base class also provides all general
usability hooks: loading and saving files and states, cheat codes, etc.
The new interface also contains information and vector structs to
describe all possible loading methods, controller bindings, etc; and
gives names for them all.
The actual GUI in fact should not include eg <gba/gba.hpp> anymore.
Should speed up GUI compilation.
So the idea going forward is that ethos will build a list of emulators
right when the application starts up.
Once you've appended an emulator to that list, you're done. No more GUI
changes are needed to support that system.
The GUI will have code to parse the emulator interfaces list, and build
all the requisite GUI options dynamically, declarative style.
Ultimately, once the project is finished, the new GUI should look ~99%
identical to the current GUI. But it'll probably be a whole lot smaller.

[No prior releases were posted to the WIP thread. -Ed.]

Super Famicom mapping system has been reworked as discussed with the
mask= changes. offset becomes base, mode is gone. Also added support for
comma-separated fields in the address fields, to reduce the number of
map lines needed.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cartridge region="NTSC">
<superfx revision="2">
<rom name="program.rom" size="0x200000"/>
<ram name="save.rwm" size="0x8000"/>
<map id="io" address="00-3f,80-bf:3000-32ff"/>
<map id="rom" address="00-3f:8000-ffff" mask="0x8000"/>
<map id="rom" address="40-5f:0000-ffff"/>
<map id="ram" address="00-3f,80-bf:6000-7fff" size="0x2000"/>
<map id="ram" address="70-71:0000-ffff"/>
</superfx>
</cartridge>
Or in BML:
cartridge region=NTSC
superfx revision=2
rom name=program.rom size=0x200000
ram name=save.rwm size=0x8000
map id=io address=00-3f,80-bf:3000-32ff
map id=rom address=00-3f:8000-ffff mask=0x8000
map id=rom address=40-5f:0000-ffff
map id=ram address=00-3f,80-bf:6000-7fff size=0x2000
map id=ram address=70-71:0000-ffff
As a result of the changes, old mappings will no longer work. The above
XML example will run Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Otherwise,
you'll have to write your own.
All that's left now is to work some sort of database mapping system in,
so I can start dumping carts en masse.
The NES changes that FitzRoy asked for are mostly in as well.
Also, part of the reason I haven't released a WIP ... but fuck it, I'm
not going to wait forever to post a new WIP.
I've added a skeleton driver to emulate Campus Challenge '92 and
Powerfest '94. There's no actual emulation, except for the stuff I can
glean from looking at the pictures of the board. It has a DSP-1 (so
SR/DR registers), four ROMs that map in and out, RAM, etc.
I've also added preliminary mapping to upload high scores to a website,
but obviously I need the ROMs first.

unsigned dipSettings(const Markup::Node &node);

Update to v088r14 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- added NSS DIP switch settings window (when loading NSS carts with
appropriate manifest.xml file)
- added video shader selection (they go in ~/.config/bsnes/Video
Shaders/ now)
- added driver selection
- added timing settings (not only allows video/audio settings, also has
code to dynamically compute the values for you ... and it actually
works pretty good!)
- moved "None" controller device to bottom of list (it is the least
likely to be used, after all)
- added Interface::path() to support MSU1, USART, Link
- input and hotkey mappings remember list position after assignment
- and more!
target-ethos now has all of the functionality of target-ui, and more.
Final code size for the port is 101.2KB (ethos) vs 167.6KB (ui).
A ~67% reduction in code size, yet it does even more! And you can add or
remove an entire system with only three lines of code (Makefile include,
header include, interface append.)
The only problem left is that the BS-X BIOS won't load the BS Zelda no
Densetsu file.
I can't figure out why it's not working, would appreciate any
assistance, but otherwise I'm probably just going to leave it broken for
v089, sorry.
So the show stoppers for a new release at this point are:
- fix laevateinn to compile with the new interface changes (shouldn't be
too hard, it'll still use the old, direct interface.)
- clean up Emulator::Interface as much as possible (trim down
Information, mediaRequest should use an alternate struct designed to
load firmware / slots separately)
- enhance purify to strip SNES ROM headers, and it really needs a GUI
interface
- it would be highly desirable to make a launcher that can create
a cartridge folder from an existing ROM set (* ethos will need to
accept command-line arguments for this.)
- probably need to remember which controller was selected in each port
for each system across runs
- need to fix the cursor for Super Scope / Justifier games (move from
19-bit to 32-bit colors broke it)
- have to refactor that cache.(hv)offset thing to fix ASP
