Changelog:
- higan: Emulator::Interface::videoSize() renamed to videoResolution()
- higan: Emulator::Interface::rtcsync() renamed to rtcSynchronize()
- higan: added video display rotation support to Video
- GBA: substantially improved audio mixing
- fixed bug with FIFO 50%/100% volume setting
- now properly using SOUNDBIAS amplitude to control output
frequencies
- reduced quantization noise
- corrected relative volumes between PSG and FIFO channels
- both PSG and FIFO values cached based on amplitude; resulting in
cleaner PCM samples
- treating PSG volume=3 as 200% volume instead of 0% volume now
(unverified: to match mGBA)
- GBA: properly initialize ALL CPU state; including the vital
prefetch.wait=1 (fixes Classic NES series games)
- GBA: added video rotation with automatic key translation support
- PCE: reduced output resolution scalar from 285x242 to 285x240
- the extra two scanlines won't be visible on most TVs; and they
make all other cores look worse
- this is because all other cores output at 240p or less; so they
were all receiving black bars in windowed mode
- tomoko: added "Rotate Display" hotkey setting
- tomoko: changed hotkey multi-key logic to OR instead of AND
- left support for flipping it back inside the core; for those so
inclined; by uncommenting one line in input.hpp
- tomoko: when choosing Settings→Configuration, it will
automatically select the currently loaded system
- for instance, if you're playing a Game Gear game, it'll take you
to the Game Gear input settings
- if no games are loaded, it will take you to the hotkeys panel
instead
- WS(C): merged "Hardware-Vertical", "Hardware-Horizontal" controls
into combined "Hardware"
- WS(C): converted rotation support from being inside the core to
using Emulator::Video
- this lets WS(C) video content scale larger now that it's not
bounded by a 224x224 square box
- WS(C): added automatic key rotation support
- WS(C): removed emulator "Rotate" key (use the general hotkey
instead; I recommend F8 for this)
- nall: added serializer support for nall::Boolean (boolean) types
- although I will probably prefer the usage of uint1 in most cases

Changelog:
- converted Emulator::Interface::Bind to Emulator::Platform
- temporarily disabled SGB hooks
- SMS: emulated Game Gear palette (latching word-write behavior not
implemented yet)
- SMS: emulated Master System 'Reset' button, Game Gear 'Start' button
- SMS: removed reset() functionality, driven by the mappable input now
instead
- SMS: split interface class in two: one for Master System, one for
Game Gear
- SMS: emulated Game Gear video cropping to 160x144
- PCE: started on HuC6280 CPU core—so far only registers, NOP
instruction has been implemented
Errata:
- Super Game Boy support is broken and thus disabled
- if you switch between Master System and Game Gear without
restarting, bad things happen:
- SMS→GG, no video output on the GG
- GG→SMS, no input on the SMS
I'm not sure what's causing the SMS\<-\>GG switch bug, having a hard
time debugging it. Help would be very much appreciated, if anyone's up
for it. Otherwise I'll keep trying to track it down on my end.

Changelog:
- Makefile: added $(windres), -lpthread to Windows port
- GBA: WAITCNT.prefetch is not writable (should fix Donkey Kong: King
of Swing) \[endrift\]
- SMS: fixed hcounter shift value \[hex\_usr\]
- SMS: emulated interrupts (reset button isn't hooked up anywhere, not
sure where to put it yet)
This WIP actually took a really long time because the documentation on
SMS interrupts was all over the place. I'm hoping I've emulated them
correctly, but I honestly have no idea. It's based off my best
understanding from four or five different sources. So it's probably
quite buggy.
However, a few interrupts fire in Sonic the Hedgehog, so that's
something to start with. Now I just have to hope I've gotten some games
far enough in that I can start seeing some data in the VDP VRAM. I need
that before I can start emulating graphics mode 4 to get some actual
screen output.
Or I can just say to hell with it and use a "Hello World" test ROM.
That'd probably be smarter.

Changelog:
- GB core code cleanup completed
- GBA core code cleanup completed
- some more cleanup on missed processor/arm functions/variables
- fixed FC loading icarus bug
- "Load ROM File" icarus functionality restored
- minor code unification efforts all around (not perfect yet)
- MMIO->IO
- mmio.cpp->io.cpp
- read,write->readIO,writeIO
It's been a very long work in progress ... starting all the way back with
v094r09, but the major part of the higan code cleanup is now completed! Of
course, it's very important to note that this is only for the basic style:
- under_score functions and variables are now camelCase
- return-type function-name() are now auto function-name() -> return-type
- Natural<T>/Integer<T> replace (u)intT_n types where possible
- signed/unsigned are now int/uint
- most of the x==true,x==false tests changed to x,!x
A lot of spot improvements to consistency, simplicity and quality have
gone in along the way, of course. But we'll probably never fully finishing
beautifying every last line of code in the entire codebase. Still,
this is a really great start. Going forward, WIP diffs should start
being smaller and of higher quality once again.
I know the joke is, "until my coding style changes again", but ... this
was way too stressful, way too time consuming, and way too risky. I'm
too old and tired now for extreme upheavel like this again. The only
major change I'm slowly mulling over would be renaming the using
Natural<T>/Integer<T> = (u)intT; shorthand to something that isn't as
easily confused with the (u)int_t types ... but we'll see. I'll definitely
continue to change small things all the time, but for the larger picture,
I need to just accept the style I have and live with it.
