First 32 instructions implemented in the TLCS900H disassembler. Only 992
to go!
I removed the use of anonymous namespaces in nall. It was something I
rarely used, because it rarely did what I wanted.
I updated all nested namespaces to use C++17-style namespace Foo::Bar {}
syntax instead of classic C++-style namespace Foo { namespace Bar {}}.
I updated ruby::Video::acquire() to return a struct, so we can use C++17
structured bindings. Long term, I want to get away from all functions
that take references for output only. Even though C++ botched structured
bindings by not allowing you to bind to existing variables, it's even
worse to have function calls that take arguments by reference and then
write to them. From the caller side, you can't tell the value is being
written, nor that the value passed in doesn't matter, which is terrible.

This synchronizes bsnes/higan with many recent internal nall changes.
This will be the last WIP until I am situated in Japan. Apologies for the
bugfixes that didn't get applied yet, I ran out of time.

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.

Changelog:
- sfc/ppu-fast: added hires mode 7 option (doubles the sampling rate
of mode 7 pixels to reduce aliasing)
- sfc/ppu-fast: fixed mode 7 horizontal screen flip [hex_usr]
- bsnes: added capture screenshot function and path selection
- for now, it saves as BMP. I need a deflate implementation that
won't add an external dependency for PNG
- the output resolution is from the emulator: (256 or 512)x(240 or
480 minus overscan cropping if enabled)
- it captures the NEXT output frame, not the current one ... but
it may be wise to change this behavior
- it'd be a problem if the core were to exit and an image was
captured halfway through frame rendering
- bsnes: recovery state renamed to undo state
- bsnes: added manifest viewer tool
- bsnes: mention if game has been verified or not on the status bar
message at load time
- bsnes, nall: fixed a few missing function return values
[SuperMikeMan]
- bsnes: guard more strongly against failure to load games to avoid
crashes
- hiro, ruby: various fixes for macOS [Sintendo]
- hiro/Windows: paint on `WM_ERASEBKGND` to prevent status bar
flickering at startup
- icarus: SPC7110 heuristics fixes [hex_usr]
Errata:
- sfc/ppu-fast: remove debug hires mode7 force disable comment from
PPU::power()
[The `WM_ERASEBKGND` fix was already present in the 106r44 public
beta -Ed.]

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:
I'll post more detailed changes later, but basically:
- fixed Baldur's Gate bug
- guess if no flash ROM ID present (fixes Magical Vacation, many many
others)
- nall cleanups
- sfc/cartridge major cleanups
- bsxcartridge/"bsx" renamed to mcc/"mcc" after the logic chip it uses
(consistency with SGB/ICD2)
- ... and more!
