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 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.

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

Update to v091r11 release.
byuu says:
This release refines HSU1 support as a bidirectional protocol, nests SFC
manifests as "release/cartridge" and "release/information" (but release/
is not guaranteed to be finalized just yet), removes the database
integration, and adds support for ananke.
ananke represents inevitability. It's a library that, when installed,
higan can use to load files from the command-line, and also from a new
File -> Load Game menu option.
I need to change the build rules a bit for it to work on Windows (need
to make phoenix a DLL, basically), but it works now on Linux.
Right now, it only takes *.sfc file names, looks them up in the included
database, converts them to game folders, and returns the game folder
path for higan to load.
The idea is to continue expanding it to support everything we can that
I don't want in the higan core:
- load *.sfc, *.smc, *.swc, *.fig files
- remove SNES copier headers
- split apart merged firmware files
- pull in external firmware files (eg dsp1b.rom - these are staying
merged, just as SPC7110 prg+dat are merged)
- load *.zip and *.7z archives
- prompt for selection on multi-file archives
- generate manifest files based on heuristics
- apply BPS patches
The "Load" menu option has been renamed to "Library", to represent games
in your library. I'm going to add some sort of suffix to indicate
unverified games, and use a different folder icon for those (eg
manifests built on heuristics rather than from the database.)
So basically, to future end users:
File -> Load Game will be how they play games.
Library -> (specific system) can be thought of as an infinitely-sized
recent games list.
purify will likely become a simple stub that invokes ananke's functions.
No reason to duplicate all that code.
