The input port menu was hooked up.
Alternate input support was added, although I wasn't able to test rumble
support because SDL doesn't support that, and I don't have XInput or
udev drivers on FreeBSD. This one's going to be tricky. Maybe I can test
via cross-compiling on Windows/GTK.
Added mouse capture hotkey, and auto capture/release on toggling
fullscreen (as a bonus it hides the mouse cursor.)
Added all possible video and input drivers to ruby for BSD systems.
Remaining issues before we can release v095:
- add slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST)
- add DIP switch selection window (NSS)
- add timing configuration (video/audio sync)
- hide inapplicable options from system menu (eg controller ports and
reset button from handheld systems)

Implemented the cheat database dialog, and most of the cheat editor
dialog. I still have to handle loading and saving the cheats.bml file
for each game. I wanted to finish it today, but I burned out. It's a ton
of really annoying work to support cheat codes. There's also some issue
with the width calculation for the "code(s)" column in hiro/GTK.
Short-term:
- add input port changing support
- add other input types (mouse-based, etc)
- finish cheat codes
Long-term:
- add slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST)
- add DIP switch selection window (NSS)
- add overscan masking
- add timing configuration (video/audio sync)
Not planned:
- video color adjustments (will allow emulated color vs raw color; but
no more sliders)
- pixel shaders
- ananke integration (will need to make a command-line version to get my
games in)
- fancy audio adjustment controls (resampler, latency, volume)
- input focus settings
- localization support (not enough users)
- window geometry memory
- anything else not in higan v094

Changelog:
* added driver selection
* added video scale + aspect correction settings
* added A/V sync + audio mute settings
* added configuration file
* fixed compilation bugs under Windows and Linux
* fixed window sizing
* removed HSU1
* the system menu stays as "System", because "Game Boy Advance" was too
long a string for the smallest scale size
* some more stuff
You guys probably won't be ecstatic about the video sizing options, but
it's basically your choice of 1x, 2x or 4x scale with optional aspect
correction. 3x was intentionally skipped because it looks horrible on
hires SNES games. The window is resized and recentered upon loading
games. The window doesn't resize otherwise. I never really liked the way
v094 always left you with black screen areas and left you with
off-centered window positions.
I might go ahead and add the pseudo-fullscreen toggle that will jump
into 4x mode (respecting your aspect setting.)
Short-term:
* add input port changing support
* add other input types (mouse-based, etc)
* add save states
* add cheat codes
* add timing configuration (video/audio sync)
* add hotkeys (single state)
We can probably do a new release once the short-term items are
completed.
Long-term:
* add slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST)
* add DIP switch selection window (NSS)
* add cheat code database
* add state manager
* add overscan masking
Not planned:
* video color adjustments (will allow emulated color vs raw color; but
no more sliders)
* pixel shaders
* ananke integration (will need to make a command-line version to get my
games in)
* fancy audio adjustment controls (resampler, latency, volume)
* input focus settings
* relocating game library (not hard, just don't feel like it)
* localization support (not enough users)
* window geometry memory
* anything else not in higan v094

I've hooked up the input subsystem, and the input manager to assign
hotkeys.
So far I only have digital buttons working (keyboard only), and I'm not
planning on supporting input groups again (mapping multiple physical
buttons to one emulated button), but it's progress. As with the rest of
tomoko, the code's a lot more compact. The nice thing about redoing code
so many times is that each time you get a little bit better at it.
The input configuration is saved to ~/.config/tomoko/settings.bml (just
realized that I'm an idiot and need to rename it to input.bml)
Also hooked up game saves and cartridge unloading. Active controller
changing isn't hooked up yet, and I'll probably do it differently.
Oh, and I declared the ruby lines for other platforms.
Still need to add Cydrak's Windows compilation fixes. I am nothing if
not lazy :P

This starts the tomoko UI. So far I have basic library loading and
video+audio output. Basically just enough to take the below screenshot.
(aside from Library, the menus are empty stubs.)
The .sys (system) game folders are now going under ~/Emulation/System,
to avoid needing root privileges to stick them into /usr/share. The game
library now shows all bootable media types, and the drop-down subtype is
gone. I'm going to display a separate modal dialog for loading slotted
games this time around. Much cleaner this way, less clutter.
tomoko's starting off a lot cleaner than ethos was, and I'm scaling back
the number of abstracted classes. What was Utility, Interface, etc are
now being merged all into Program. Of course, the real hell is the input
system. That has so many layers of bullshit that there's really no sane
way to write it.
