Changelog:
- nall::lstring -> nall::string_vector
- added IntegerBitField<type, lo, hi> -- hopefully it works correctly...
- Multitap 1-4 -> Super Multitap 2-5
- fixed SFC PPU CGRAM read regression
- huge amounts of SFC PPU IO register cleanups -- .bits really is lovely
- re-added the read/write(VRAM,OAM,CGRAM) helpers for the SFC PPU
- but they're now optimized to the realities of the PPU (16-bit data
sizes / no address parameter / where appropriate)
- basically used to get the active-display overrides in a unified place;
but also reduces duplicate code in (read,write)IO

It took several hours, but I've rebuilt much of the SNES' bus memory
mapping architecture.
The new design unifies the cartridge string-based mapping
("00-3f,80-bf:8000-ffff") and internal bus.map calls. The map() function
now has an accompanying unmap() function, and instead of a fixed 256
callbacks, it'll scan to find the first available slot. unmap() will
free slots up when zero addresses reference a given slot.
The controllers and expansion port are now both entirely dynamic.
Instead of load/unload/power/reset, they only have the constructor
(power/reset/load) and destructor (unload). What this means is you can
now dynamically change even expansion port devices after the system is
loaded.
Note that this is incredibly dangerous and stupid, but ... oh well. The
whole point of this was for 21fx. There's no way to change the expansion
port device prior to loading a game, but if the 21fx isn't active, then
the reset vector hijack won't work. Now you can load a 21fx game, change
the expansion port device, and simply reset the system to active the
device.
The unification of design between controller port devices and expansion
port devices is nice, and overall this results in a reduction of code
(all of the Mapping stuff in Cartridge is gone, replaced with direct bus
mapping.) And there's always the potential to expand this system more in
the future now.
The big missing feature right now is the ability to push/pop mappings.
So if you look at how the 21fx does the reset vector, you might vomit
a little bit. But ... it works.
Also changed exit(0) to _exit(0) in the POSIX version of nall::execute.
[The _exit(0) thing is an attempt to make higan not crash when it tries
to launch icarus and it's not on $PATH. The theory is that higan forks,
then the child tries to exec icarus and fails, so it exits, all the
unique_ptrs clean up their resources and tell the X server to free
things the parent process is still using. Calling _exit() prevents
destructors from running, and seems to prevent the problem. -Ed.]

A minor WIP to get us started.
Changelog:
- System::Video merged to PPU::Video
- System::Audio merged to DSP::Audio
- System::Configuration merged to Interface::Settings
- created emulator/emulator.cpp and accompanying object file for shared
code between all cores
Currently, emulator.cpp just holds a videoColor() function that takes
R16G16B16, performs gamma/saturation/luma adjust, and outputs
(currently) A8R8G8B8. It's basically an internal function call for cores
to use when generating palette entries. This code used to exist inside
ui-tomoko/program/interface.cpp, but we have to move it internal for
software display emulation. But in the future, we could add other useful
cross-core functionality here.

Changelog:
- fixed icarus to save settings properly
- fixed higan's full screen toggle on OS X
- increased "Add Codes" button width to avoid text clipping
- implemented cocoa/canvas.cpp
- added 1s delay after mapping inputs before re-enabling the window
(wasn't actually necessary, but already added it)
- fixed setEnabled(false) on Cocoa's ListView and TextEdit widgets
- updated nall::programpath() to use GetModuleFileName on Windows
- GB: system uses open collector logic, so unmapped reads return 0xFF,
not 0x00 (passes blargg's cpu_instrs again) [gekkio]

New update. Most of the work today went into eliminating hiro::Image
from all objects in all ports, replacing with nall::image. That took an
eternity.
Changelog:
- fixed crashing bug when loading games [thanks endrift!!]
- toggling "show status bar" option adjusts window geometry (not
supposed to recenter the window, though)
- button sizes improved; icon-only button icons no longer being cut off
byuu says:
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.

Changelog:
- replaced popen() with execvp() / CreateProcess()
- suppressed (hid) controllers with no mappable inputs from the input
settings panel
This gets rid of the window flashing when loading games with
higan+icarus. And hiding of empty devices should be a huge usability
improvement, especially since "None" was appearing at the top of the
list before for the SNES.
