Changelog:
- Super Famicom core converted to use nall/vfs
- excludes Super Game Boy; since that's invoked from inside the GB core
This was definitely the major obstacle to test nall/vfs'
applicability. Things worked out pretty great in the end.
We went from 22.0KiB (cartridge) + 18.6KiB (interface) to 24.5KiB
(cartridge) + 11.4KiB (interface). Or 40.7KiB to 36.0KiB. This removes
a very large source of indirection. Before it was: "coprocessor <=>
cartridge <=> interface" for loading and saving data, and now it's just
"coprocessor <=> cartridge". And it may make sense to eventually turn
this into just "cartridge -> coprocessor" by making each coprocessor
class handle its own markup parsing.
It's nice to have all the manifest parsing in one location (well, sans
MSU1); but it's also nice for loading/unloading to be handled by each
coprocessor itself. So I'll have to think longer about that one.
I've also started handling Interface::save() differently. Instead of
keeping track of memory IDs and filenames, and iterating through that
vector of objects ... instead I now have a system that mirrors the markup
parsing on loading, but handles saving instead. This was actually the
reason the code size savings weren't more significant, but I like this
style more. As before, it removes an extra level of indirection.
So ... next up, I need to port over the GB, then GBA, then WS
cores. These shouldn't take too long since they're all very simple with
just ROM+RAM(+RTC) right now. Then get the SGB callbacks using vfs. Then
after that, gut all the old stream stuff from nall and higan. Kill the
(load,save)Request stuff, rename the load(Gamepak)Request to something
simpler, and then we should be good.
Anyway ... these are some huge changes.

Changelog:
- finished cleaning up the SFC core to my new coding conventions
- removed sfc/controller/usart (superseded by 21fx)
- hid Synchronize Video option from the menu (still in the configuration
file)
Pretty much the only minor detail left is some variable names in the
SA-1 core that really won't look good at all if I move to camelCase,
so I'll have to rethink how I handle those. It's probably a good area
to attempt using BitFields, to see how it impacts performance. But I'll
do that in a test branch first.
But for the most part, this should be the end of the gigantic diffs (this
one was 174KiB), at least for the SFC/WS cores. Still have the FC/GB/GBA
cores to clean up more fully. Assuming we don't spot any new regressions,
we should be ~95% out of the woods on code cleanups breaking things.

Changelog:
- restructured the project and removed a whole bunch of old/dead
directives from higan/GNUmakefile
- huge amounts of work on hiro/cocoa (compiles but ~70% of the
functionality is commented out)
- fixed a masking error in my ARM CPU disassembler [Lioncash]
- SFC: decided to change board cic=(411,413) back to board
region=(ntsc,pal) ... the former was too obtuse
If you rename Boolean (it's a problem with an include from ruby, not
from hiro) and disable all the ruby drivers, you can compile an
OS X binary, but obviously it's not going to do anything.
It's a boring WIP, I just wanted to push out the project structure
change now at the start of this WIP cycle.
