Everything *should* be working again, but of course that won't
actually be the case. Here's where things stand:

  - bsnes, higan, icarus, and genius compile and run fine on FreeBSD
    with GTK
  - ruby video and audio drivers are untested on Windows, macOS, and
    Linux
  - hiro is untested on macOS
  - bsnes' status bar is not showing up properly with hiro/qt
  - bsnes and higan's about screen is not showing up properly with
    hiro/qt (1x1 window size)
  - bsnes on Windows crashes often when saving states, and I'm not sure
    why ... it happens inside Encode::RLE
  - bsnes on Windows crashes with ruby.input.windows (unsure why)
  - bsnes on Windows fails to show the verified emblem on the status bar
    properly
  - hiro on Windows flickers when changing tabs

To build the Windows bsnes and higan ports, use

    ruby="video.gdi audio.directsound"

Compilation error logs for Linux will help me fix the inevitable list of
typos there. I can fix the typos on other platforms, I just haven't
gotten to it yet.

Changes to hiro will break all but the GTK target. Not that it matters
much given that the only ruby drivers that function are all on BSD
anyway.

But if you are fortunate enough to be able to run this ... you'll find
lots of polishing improvements to the bsnes GUI. I posted some
screenshots on Twitter, if anyone were interested.

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.

byuu says:

These WIPs-within-WIPs are getting more and more broken ... this isn't
going the way I wanted.

But ... this time around, I've revamped the entire ruby API again, to
solve a bunch of tough problems that have always made using ruby really
clunky.

But there are *so many* ruby drivers that it's going to take a long
time to work through them all. This WIP is only going to run bsnes, and
only on FreeBSD, and only with some drivers.

hiro's Application::initialize() now calls hiro::initialize(), which you
define inside of your hiro apps. This lets you call
Application::setName(...) before anything else in hiro runs. This is
essential on Xorg to set program icons, for instance.

With the ruby rewrite and the change to hiro, I can get away from the
need to make everything in bsnes/higan pointers to objects, and can now
just declare them as regular objects.

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.

Tim Allen 876b4be1d2 Update to 20180726 release.
byuu says:

Once again, I wasn't able to complete a full WIP revision.

This WIP-WIP adds very sophisticated emulation of the Sega Genesis
Lock-On and Game Genie cartridges ... essentially, through recursion and
a linked list, higan supports an infinite nesting of cartridges.

Of course, on real hardware, after you stack more than three or four
cartridges, the power draw gets too high and things start glitching out
more and more as you keep stacking. I've heard that someone chained up
to ten Sonic & Knuckles cartridges before it finally became completely
unplayable.

And so of course, higan emulates this limitation as well ^-^. On the
fourth cartridge and beyond, it will become more and more likely that
address and/or data lines "glitch" out randomly, causing various
glitches. It's a completely silly easter egg that requires no speed
impact whatsoever beyond the impact of the new linked list cartridge
system.

I also designed the successor to Emulator::Interface::cap,get,set. Those
were holdovers from the older, since-removed ruby-style accessors.

In its place is the new Emulator::Interface::configuration,configure
API. There's the usual per-property access, and there's also access to
read and write all configurable options at once. In essence, this
enables introspection into core-specific features.

So far, you can control processor version#s, PPU VRAM size, video
settings, and hacks. As such, the .sys/manifest.bml files are no longer
necessary. Instead, it all goes into .sys/configuration.bml, which is
generated by the emulator if it's missing.

higan is going to take this even further and allow each option under
"Systems" to have its own editable configuration file. So if you wanted,
you could have a 1/1/1 SNES menu option, and a 2/1/3 SNES menu option.
Or a Model 1 Genesis option, and a Model 2 Genesis option. Or the
various Game Boy model revisions. Or an "SNES-Fast" and "SNES-Accurate"
option.

I've not fully settled on the syntax of the new configuration API. I
feel it might be useful to provide type information, but I really quite
passionately hate any<T> container objects. For now it's all
string-based, because strings can hold anything in nall.

I might also change the access rules. Right now it's like:
emulator→configure("video/blurEmulation", true); but it might be nicer
as "Video::Blur Emulation", or "Video.BlurEmulation", or something like
that.

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.

I know most people will probably prefer to order cheat codes the way
they want, but the issue is that the state manager can't really work
this way. Each state is a file on disk. So yes, we could store a
states-manifest.bml to track the order of the states, or try to insert
numbers into the filenames and do bulk filesystem rename operations on
sorting, but then we would run into oddities when users delete state
files manually. And really, manual sorting is just clumsy. If you really
want a specific ordering, you can prefix cheats/states with numeric
indices instead.

  - bsnes: added advanced settings panel with real-time driver change
    support

I'd like feedback on the real-time driver change, for possible
consideration into adding this to higan as well.

Some drivers just crash, it's a fact of life. The ASIO driver in
particular likes to crash inside the driver itself, without any error
messages ever returned to try and catch.

When you try to change a driver with a game loaded, it gives you a scary
warning, asking if you want to proceed.

When you change a driver, it sets a crash flag, and if the driver
crashes while initializing, then restarting bsnes will disable the
errant driver. If it fails in a recoverable way, then it sets the driver
to “None” and warns you that the driver cannot be used.

What I'm thinking of further adding is to call emulator→save() to
write out the save RAM contents beforehand (although the periodic
auto-saving RAM will handle this anyway when it's enabled), and possibly
it might be wise to capture an emulator save state, although those can't
be taken without advancing the emulator to the next frame, so that might
not be a good idea.

I'm also thinking we should show some kind of message somewhere when a
driver is set to “None”. The status bar can be hidden, so perhaps on the
title bar? Or maybe just a warning on startup that a driver is set to
“None”.

Yeah, you read right: recent games menu, path settings. And dynamic rate
control + screensaver suppression is on the todo list. I'm not fucking
around this time. I really want to make something special here.

Changelog:
* yes.

But seriously, a list of changes on a pre-alpha GUI is going to get annoying.

Basically, work on embedding stuff in the binary, firmware loading (both
appended to the ROM and in a firmware/ subfolder) added, SGB games can be
loaded, config file holds more values for driver settings, added ruby drivers to
other platforms, etc.
