- Fix possible invalid memory access crashes when Y-sorting, most notably, in Super Mario 64 adventure mode. Using std::stable_sort() instead of std::sort() should have little to no performance impact since we're not sorting a lot of elements here. (Regression from r2436.)
- Initialize the HQnx LUTs only once, instead of doing it per display window.
- Fix issue where the HQnx LUT init code was causing extremely long compile times. (Regression from r5087.)
- Added CPU mutex functions gdbstub_mutex_init/destroy/lock/unlock, which govern access to NDS_ARM9 and NDS_ARM7 structs.
- Added locking and unlocking of the mutex to gdbstub.cpp/processPacket_gdb() and NDSSystem.cpp/NDS_exec()
Cocoa, CLI, GTK, Windows ports:
- Added mutex initialization and destruction to main() functions (cocoa/cocoa_core.mm, cli/main.cpp, gtk/main.cpp, windows/main.cpp)
- Have video from CPU-based pixel scalers transfer to GPU via DMA. Should improve performance on pixel scalers with large scaling sizes, such as HQ4xS and 5xBRZ.
- Add method VideoFilter::SetDstBufferPtr() - allows users to use their own destination buffer instead of having to use the VideoFilter object's internal buffer.
- Delete the Legacy Cocoa port. (Not only was the Tiger build broken in several ways, but all features from the Legacy port have been subsumed into the main Cocoa port now. Therefore, the Legacy port is no longer necessary.)
- Remove the "Xcode 4" and "Xcode 5" project files. These files have been superseded by the one project file "Xcode (Latest)".
- Do a massive cleanup of the #include and header structure.
- Remove a lot of unnecessary dependencies in the headers.
- Make headers responsible for including what they need for themselves. This makes the headers more independent of where they are in the #include order.
- Relocate some structs/classes to more logical locations.
- Clean up some platform-specific #ifdef stuff.
- Add a new developer-oriented build scheme called "OS X App; dev+" to the Xcode4 and Xcode5 projects.
- Add preliminary GDB stub support to the dev+ build. (Use the menu option Tools > Show GDB Stub Control.)
GDB Stub:
- Do some minor cleanup on the GDB stub init code.

add system in EMUFILE_FILE to switch correctly between read/write modes; add system in EMUFILE_FILE to (optionally) track current file position and avoid redundant fseeks - this code is UNTESTED.

add better console feedback when gbagame .sav is being scanned, to make developers less likely to think the emulator is frozen
