Tim Allen a5af5eab3c Always hyphenate "hand-held".
There were previously three instances of "hand-held" and one of
"handheld", so let's go with the majority

Tim Allen 41efdba45a Document the "soft reset" functionality.
This was added in v105r01, but I forgot about it until now. :/

Tim Allen 8d7d452534 We don't need to override `compiler` when building.
It seems on Windows, `compiler` has defaulted to `g++` for a while now,
so we didn't need to override it in the `make` invocation.

Since v105r01, `compiler` defaults to `g++` on Linux too, so we don't
need to override it there either.

Tim Allen 56cb9c01a5 Hack around some code-block formatting errors.
By default, mkdocs uses "highlight.js" to apply syntax-highlighting
to code blocks. Left to its own devices, highlight.js will guess the
language being used in the code block, apply the "hljs" CSS class
(so the code block will be given a nice border, a sensible font-size,
etc.) and apply the appropriate formatting markup. If it guesses wrongly,
you can give a language hint on the opening line of the block.

If you use a language that highlight.js does not recognise, or
the special name "nohighlight", highlight.js will leave the block
alone. Unfortunately, in mkdocs' default theme, that means it will be
formatted like *inline* code, with a border and background that wraps
behind each line of the block.

In order to make a code-block that looks like a code-block, you have
to carefully pick a language that highlight.js has heard of, but whose
syntax is sufficiently different from whatever's in the block that no
unwanted highlighting will occur.

This seems to be fixed in the readthedocs theme that comes with mkdocs
0.16.1, but ReadTheDocs doesn't actually seem to be using that version. :/

Special thanks to hex_usr for figuring out the details:

Tim Allen 2e4cd09800 Document the new Credits menu item. 2017-09-06 12:41:32 +10:00
Tim Allen b47488ab09 As of higan v104r07, higan no longer imports separate firmware files.
icarus now requires games and firmware to be combined into a single file,
so we must describe how to achieve that.

Tim Allen 96c45420d1 Use the en_AU spelling of "synchronise".
I've generally tried to keep to en_AU spellings rather than en_US spellings
for the sake of my own sanity, but it's difficult when documenting a program
that exclusively uses en_US spellings since I'm quoting the text on
menu-items and in config files.
2017-08-31 15:50:34 +10:00
Tim Allen fd9194e4c2 On Linux, install higan before icarus.
Strictly speaking, there's no dependency between them, but higan's
install target happens to create the destination bin directory if it
doesn't already exist, so we want to run that install script first.

Tim Allen 593d32b885 Many typos and grammar fixes from dan1982 on the higan forums. 2017-08-31 15:19:43 +10:00
Tim Allen fb31df6eb8 Windows changed their not-found error message apparently. 2017-08-31 15:12:36 +10:00
Tim Allen a81802422f No-Intro changed their naming conventions.
Sufami Turbo games are in a separate set now, they don't have the "(ST)"
marker in the filename.

Satellaview memory paks may have "(BS)", "(BS SoundLink)" or "(BSROM)"
for various reasons that aren't important to higan, so let's just not mention
them at all.
2017-08-31 14:57:24 +10:00
Tim Allen a1eaec493a Italicise more game names.
Also, it turns out the canonical spelling is "Mega Man", not "Megaman".

Tim Allen 2956930d1c Standardise on "SHA256". 2017-08-31 14:51:48 +10:00
Tim Allen c557d68ec4 Spell-check the documentation.
Changes include a few typos, a few capitalization changes, and a lot of hyphenation of compound words that were not as widely used as I thought.

Tim Allen c0934b826c Mention shaders in our install instructions.
If we're going to lug them around, we might as well use them.

Tim Allen b308661fa3 General tidying and tightening of docs. 2017-08-23 17:48:24 +10:00
Tim Allen a4483339e5 Rename higan-config.md to higan-settings.md
The file was originally named `higan-config.md` because the dialog box
it described was called "higan Configuration", which was because the
menu-item to open it was in a menu called "Settings" and it would have
been weird to have a "Settings" item in a "Settings" menu.

Now there are individual menu-items for each tab in the Settings dialog,
none of which are named Settings, so the dialog has been renamed back to
"Settings", and the filename should match.

Tim Allen 1c13f0ad42 Hint more strongly that Linux distros may already have higan packages 2017-08-23 16:57:17 +10:00
Tim Allen d416bb7231 *facepalm* 2017-08-23 16:56:51 +10:00
Tim Allen 4ba37e6cbe We're kind of official docs, now. 2017-08-23 16:55:58 +10:00
Tim Allen 6c7a9adaad Consistently use "folder" over "directory", except for Linux documentation.
For Windows documentation, "folder" is the correct term. For generic
documentation, probably either would do but I suspect people are
slightly more likely to be familiar with "folder".

Tim Allen bafdb09e1b Let's be consistent about quoting console names here. 2017-08-23 14:52:54 +10:00

Tim Allen 15c467b482 This documentation is now up to date as of v104. 2017-08-23 14:51:24 +10:00
Tim Allen 8976438118 Fix all the broken links.
Also, some of the text in the higan and icarus settings docs wanted to
link to a discussion of why we ignore manifests by default; now we have
such a thing.
2017-08-22 18:12:17 +10:00
Tim Allen 9be4e59a05 Starting to fix broken links in the documentation.
Also, moved the "you should install the GBA BIOS" advice from the
install pages (where I doubt anybody would see it) to the "importing and
playing" guide, which I figure people are more likely to stumble across.
The actually instructions are still in `install/general.md` for lack of
anywhere more appropriate.
2017-08-21 23:29:53 +10:00
Tim Allen 281b22e1c0 Remove leading "What is..." headings from Concepts pages.
It's kind of implicit that an article about the concept of X will start
by describing what X is.
