- bsnes: fix the cheat editor list enable checkbox
- bsnes: fix the state manager filename display in game ROM mode
- bsnes: fix the state manager save/rename/remove functionality in

- bsnes: correct path searching for IPS and BPS patches in game ROM
mode
- bsnes: patch BS-X town cartridge to disable play limits
- bsnes: do not load (program,data,expansion).(rom,flash) from disk in
game pak mode
- this is required to support soft-patching and ROM hacks
- 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.
