I've added tool tips to hiro for Windows, GTK, and Qt. I'm unsure how to
add them for Cocoa. I wasted am embarrassing ~14 hours implementing tool
tips from scratch on Windows, because the `TOOLTIPS_CLASS` widget just
absolutely refused to show up, no matter what I tried. As such, they're
not quite 100% native, but I would really appreciate any patch
submissions to help improve my implementation.

I added tool tips to all of the confusing settings in bsnes. And of
course, for those of you who don't like them, there's a configuration
file setting to turn them off globally.

I also improved Mega Drive handling of the Game Genie a bit, and
restructured the way the Settings class works in bsnes.

Starting now, I'm feature-freezing bsnes and higan. From this point
forward:

  - polishing up and fixing bugs caused by the ruby/hiro changes
  - adding DRC to XAudio2, and maybe exclusive mode to WGL
  - correcting FEoEZ (English) to load and work again out of the box

Once that's done, a final beta of bsnes will go out, I'll fix any
reported bugs that I'm able to, and then v107 should be ready. This time
with higan being functional, but marked as v107 beta. v108 will restore
higan to production status again, alongside bsnes.

I've completed moving all the class objects from `unique_pointer<T>` to
just T. The one exception is the Emulator::Interface instance. I can
absolutely make that a global object, but only in bsnes where there's
just the one emulation core.

I also moved all the SettingsWindow and ToolsWindow panels out to their
own global objects, and fixed a very difficult bug with GTK TabFrame
controls.

The configuration settings panel is now the emulator settings panel. And
I added some spacing between bold label sections on both the emulator
and driver settings panels.

I gave fixing ComboButtonItem my best shot, given I can't reproduce the
crash. Probably won't work, though.

Also made a very slight consistency improvement to ruby and renamed
driverName() to driver().

...

An important change ... as a result of moving bsnes to global objects,
this means that the constructors for all windows run before the
presentation window is displayed. Before this change, only the
presentation window was constructed first berore displaying it, followed
by the construction of the rest of the GUI windows.

The upside to this is that as soon as you see the main window, the GUI
is ready to go without a period where it's unresponsive.

The downside to this is it takes about 1.5 seconds to show the main
window, compared to around 0.75 seconds before.

I've no intention of changing that back. So if the startup time becomes
a problem, then we'll just have to work on optimizing hiro, so that it
can construct all the global Window objects quicker. The main way to do
that would be to not do calls to the Layout::setGeometry functions for
every widget added, and instead wait until the window is displayed. But
I don't have an easy way to do that, because you want the widget
geometry values to be sane even before the window is visible to help
size certain things.

Sigh ...

asio.hpp needs #include <nall/windows/registry.hpp>

[Since the last WIP, byuu also posted the following message. -Ed.]

ruby drivers have all been updated (but not tested outside of BSD), and
I redesigned the settings window. The driver functionality all exists on
a new "Drivers" panel, the emulator/hack settings go to a
"Configuration" panel, and the video/audio panels lose driver settings.
As does the settings menu and its synchronize options.

I want to start pushing toward a v107 release. Critically, I will need
DirectSound and ALSA to support dynamic rate control. I'd also like to
eliminate the other system manifest.bml files. I need to update the
cheat code database format, and bundle at least a few quark shaders --
although I still need to default to Direct3D on Windows.

Turbo keys would be nice, if it's not too much effort. Aside from
netplay, it's the last significant feature I'm missing.

I think for v107, higan is going to be a bit rough around the edges
compared to bsnes. And I don't think it's practical to finish the bsnes
localization support.

I'm thinking we probably want another WIP to iron out any critical
issues, but this time there should be a feature freeze with the next
WIP.

Changelog:

  - emulator/video,audio: various cleanups
  - emulator/audio: removed reverb effect (it breaks very badly on
    high-frequency systems)
  - emulator/audio: the Nyquist anti-aliasing lowpass filter is now
    generated automatically instead of set per-core
      - at 44.1KHz output, it's set to 22KHz; at 48KHz, it's set to
        22KHz; at 96KHz, it's set to 25KHz
      - this filter now takes the bsnes emulation speed setting into
        account
  - all system/video.cpp files removed; inlined in System::power() and
    Interface::set() instead
  - sfc/cpu: pre-compute `HTIME` as `HTIME+1<<2` for faster comparisons of
    HIRQs
  - sfc/cpu: re-add check to block IRQs on the last dot of each frame
    (minor speed hit)
  - hiro/gtk3: fixed headers for Linux compilation finally
  - hiro/gtk,qt: fixed settings.cpp logic so initial values are used
    when no settings.bml file exists
  - hiro/gtk: started a minor experiment to specify theming information
    in settings.bml files
  - nall/dsp: allow the precision type (double) to be overridden (to
    float)
  - nall: add some helpers for generating pre-compiled headers
      - it was a failure to try using them for higan, however ...
  - nall: add some helpers for reading fallback values from empty
    `Markup::Node[search]` statements

Todo:

  - CRITICAL: a lot of my IRQ/NMI/HDMA timing tests are failing with the
    fast PPU ... need to figure out why
  - space between Emulator::video functions and Emulator::audio
    functions in gb/system/system.cpp
  - remove Audio/Reverb/Enable from settings.bml in target-bsnes

This is probably the largest code-change diff I've done in years.

I spent four days working 10-16 hours a day reworking layouts in hiro
completely.

The result is we now have TableLayout, which will allow for better
horizontal+vertical combined alignment.

Windows, GTK2, and now GTK3 are fully supported.

Windows is getting the initial window geometry wrong by a bit.

GTK2 and GTK3 work perfectly. I basically abandoned trying to detect
resize signals, and instead keep a list of all hiro windows that are
allocated, and every time the main loop runs, it will query all of them
to see if they've been resized. I'm disgusted that I have to do this,
but after fighting with GTK for years, I'm about sick of it. GTK was
doing this crazy thing where it would trigger another size-allocate
inside of a previous size-allocate, and so my layouts would be halfway
through resizing all the widgets, and then the size-allocate would kick
off another one. That would end up leaving the rest of the first layout
loop with bad widget sizes. And if I detected a second re-entry and
blocked it, then the entire window would end up with the older geometry.
I started trying to build a message queue system to allow the second
layout resize to occur after the first one completed, but this was just
too much madness, so I went with the simpler solution.

Qt4 has some geometry problems, and doesn't show tab frame layouts
properly yet.

Qt5 causes an ICE error and tanks my entire Xorg display server, so ...
something is seriously wrong there, and it's not hiro's fault. Creating
a dummy Qt5 application without even using hiro, just int main() {
TestObject object; } with object performing a dynamic\_cast to a derived
type segfaults. Memory is getting corrupted where GCC allocates the
vtables for classes, just by linking in Qt. Could be somehow related to
the -fPIC requirement that only Qt5 has ... could just be that FreeBSD
10.1 has a buggy implementation of Qt5. I don't know. It's beyond my
ability to debug, so this one's going to stay broken.

The Cocoa port is busted. I'll fix it up to compile again, but that's
about all I'm going to do.

Many optimizations mean bsnes and higan open faster. GTK2 and GTK3 both
resize windows very quickly now.

higan crashes when you load a game, so that's not good. bsnes works
though.

bsnes also has the start of a localization engine now. Still a long way
to go.

The makefiles received a rather substantial restructuring. Including the
ruby and hiro makefiles will add the necessary compilation rules for
you, which also means that moc will run for the qt4 and qt5 targets, and
windres will run for the Windows targets.

Changelog:

  - sfc/ppu-fast: added hires mode 7 option (doubles the sampling rate
    of mode 7 pixels to reduce aliasing)
  - sfc/ppu-fast: fixed mode 7 horizontal screen flip [hex_usr]
  - bsnes: added capture screenshot function and path selection
      - for now, it saves as BMP. I need a deflate implementation that
        won't add an external dependency for PNG
      - the output resolution is from the emulator: (256 or 512)x(240 or
        480 minus overscan cropping if enabled)
      - it captures the NEXT output frame, not the current one ... but
        it may be wise to change this behavior
      - it'd be a problem if the core were to exit and an image was
        captured halfway through frame rendering
  - bsnes: recovery state renamed to undo state
  - bsnes: added manifest viewer tool
  - bsnes: mention if game has been verified or not on the status bar
    message at load time
  - bsnes, nall: fixed a few missing function return values
    [SuperMikeMan]
  - bsnes: guard more strongly against failure to load games to avoid
    crashes

  - hiro/Windows: paint on `WM_ERASEBKGND` to prevent status bar
    flickering at startup
  - icarus: SPC7110 heuristics fixes [hex_usr]

Errata:

  - sfc/ppu-fast: remove debug hires mode7 force disable comment from
    PPU::power()

[The `WM_ERASEBKGND` fix was already present in the 106r44 public
beta -Ed.]

  - bsnes: added speed mode selection (50%, 75%, 100%, 150%, 200%);
    maintains proper pitch
  - bsnes: added icons to the menubar
      - this is particularly useful to tell game ROMs from game paks in
        the load recent game menu
  - bsnes: added emblem at bottom left of status bar to indicate if a
    game is verified or not
      - verified means it is in the icarus verified game dump database
      - the verified diamond is orange; the unverified diamond is blue
  - bsnes: added an option (which defaults to off) to warn when loading
    unverified games
      - working around a bug in GTK, I have to use the uglier
        MessageWindow instead of MessageDialog
  - bsnes: added (non-functional) link to <https://doc.byuu.org/bsnes/>
    to the help menu
  - bsnes: added GUI setting to toggle memory auto-save feature
  - bsnes: added GUI setting to toggle capturing a backup save state
    when closing the emulator
  - bsnes: made auto-saving states on exit an option
  - bsnes: added an option to auto-load the auto-saved state on load
      - basically, the two combined implements auto-resume
  - bsnes: when firmware is missing, offer to take the user to the
    online help documentation
  - bsnes: added fast PPU option to disable the sprite limit
      - increase from 32 items/line + 34 tiles/line to 128 items/line +
        128 tiles/line
      - technically, 1024 tiles/line are possible with 128 sprites at
        64-width
      - but this is just a waste of cache locality and worst-case
        performance; it'll never happen

Errata:

  - hiro/Windows: fallthrough on Canvas `WM_ERASEBKGND` to prevent
    startup flicker

Changelog:

  - bsnes: added video settings panel
  - bsnes: added audio settings panel
  - bsnes: disable assign/clear buttons at startup for hotkeys panel
  - bsnes: program initialization restructured: drivers initialize last
      - this lets me reinitialize the settings panel values on driver
        changes
      - so eg things like input/hotkey remappings should work after
        input driver changes now
      - ... but I had to disable the window icon for this ... it takes
        too long to show up this way
  - bsnes: added synchronize video/audio options to settings menu
  - bsnes: added audio skew slider for video/audio synchronization
  - bsnes: state manager edit/remove works on game ROM .bsz archives now
  - bsnes: removed View→Color Emulation; default to 150% gamma instead
    (it's a touch brighter but similar)

At this point, I'm pretty much ready to make an initial beta release for
wider testing.

Please use this WIP to indicate any must-fix issues before I do so.
