OK, this looks like a huge update, but it's only because of some Serializer class reworking. Serializer class now handles read/write of state from files as well as in-memory streams. As a result, Deserializer class has been removed. Added state rewinding to the debugger. For now, this is limited to 100 levels of undo, with a new state generated each time a step/trace/frame/ scanline advance is performed. The undo level is 'rolling', in that it remembers the last 100 levels (so you lose the oldest states when you start adding more than 100). For now, this is tied to the 'Alt-r' key in the debugger. Still TODO is add a button for it, and clean up some TIA output issues when rewinding. Added support for 6K version of Supercharger ROMs (this fixes issues with the 6K version of Cubis). Cleaned up the Serializable infrastructure, making sure that all classes that need to implement it actually do so now. Fixed issue with editable widgets in the UI, where pressing Enter on the keypad wasn't actually being registered. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1849 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

Updates across the board wrt the manual and release files, etc. It looks like the next release will be on July 17 (or I'll have to edit all these files again). Ran the various PNG images through pngcrush, which squeezed them down a little. Every little bit helps. Included the latest version of my personal stella.pro file. It seems that the original maintainer for this file has gone MIA, so I guess that's *yet another* thing I'll be maintaining ... git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@308 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

* Add new TIA infrastructure with improved HMOVE emulation, including
fixes for (possibly) incorrect VSYNC handling in Q-Bert.
Reworked the extended RAM editing in the debugger, allowing for those schemes that have multiples areas of RAM. Converted F4SC, F6SC, F8SC, FASC to this new functionality. Added ability to modify extended RAM in 3E, CV, E7 and EFSC ROMs. Note that these ROMs can swap RAM in and out dynamically, so what you see in the RAM area won't always be RAM. Updated debugger CpuWidget; decimal and binary values for SP/A/X/Y are now all shown at the same time (previously the registers had to share a decimal/binary view). Updated debugger documentation for recent additions. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1748 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

Updates TODO with current info, placing the things likely to be done soon near the top of the list. The TIA HMOVE stuff is well underway, the Blargg NTSC emulation is being done by the Georgia Tech team, and the debugger improvements (disassemble zero-page RAM, Distella integration, and rewind in the debugger) will be started soon. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1846 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

* Improve debugger support for remaining cartridges with dedicated RAM,
and add source-level debugging
Fixed issue with incorrect reporting of OpenGL version number for Windows. Because the version was always being returned as 0, the TV effects were always disabled, even on hardware that could support them. Creation of OpenGL video mode is now more robust. If it fails for any reason, fallback to software mode is now done (and a message stating that it happened). This still won't protect against the operating system lying to Stella and saying OpenGL support is really available when it isn't, though. Added support for ROMs smaller than 2K. These are still treated as 2K ROMs, but have their contents mirrored appropriately. Bumped version number. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1768 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

* Fix bank going over 255 (when accessing RAM) for 3E in the debugger
RomWidget view.
Adding '-timing' commandline argument as a setting in VideoDialog, so you don't need to use the commandline to change it. Fixed RomAuditDialog to show more meaningful descriptions in its buttons. More documentation updates. It looks like I won't be splitting the doc into multiple HTML files for this release, but I can at least make it more descriptive (I just realized that some options in Stella have never been in the documentation at all). git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1603 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

* Fix patching of ROM in disassembler so that if patching fails, the view
is properly updated.

2009-01-06 23:02:18 +00:00
* 'Fixed Debug Colours' option as explained in the 'Stella 2.6.1 released'
thread, post #40 on AtariAge. Basically emulates no$2k6 behaviour.
* Research starting bank for 8K/F8 ROMs. Probably default should be 0
instead of 1.
* Add commandline argument to randomly generate startup bank for all ROMs
bigger than 4K. Shouldn't make a difference for all 'well-designed' ROMS,
but will pick up on errors when a ROM doesn't start from every bank.
Re-add support for displaying text in FrameBufferSoft. I've only tested 32-bit mode for now; more testing to come. Made changes in OSystem so creating a framebuffer is only ever done once. This means that switching between software and OpenGL mode is no longer dynamic (ie, it can no longer be done while Stella is running). With the forthcoming changes to VideoDialog, you'll be able to set the mode to change the next time Stella runs. It just adds too much complexity to support dynamic switching, especially when I don't think many people do it too often. Updated CommandDialog to be font-resizable (ie, take advantage of the new UI fonts). git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1574 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
2008-12-26 20:05:17 +00:00
Added suggestions from AtariAge '2.7.2' thread so I don't forget about them. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1668 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
2009-02-01 14:31:44 +00:00
* Make font size be selectable for the stats info area (in TIA) and
in-game UI.
Fixed all remaining dialogs that wouldn't quite fit in 320x240 'small' mode. More documentation updates for the impending release. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1621 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
2009-01-15 18:45:23 +00:00
* More work to the ROM launcher, including at least the following:
(1) Shortcut key where selecting the first few letters jumps to a
directory named that way. Basically the same as is currently
done for ROMs.
Added pattern matching textbox to the ROM launcher. This works in addition to the previously added FilterOptions (that code filtered by filename extension, while this further filters by an actual pattern). This is by request of several people in the AtariAge forums). git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1658 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
2009-01-24 21:44:49 +00:00
(2) Fix aliases not being followed correctly in the OSX port
(although I suspect this isn't just an OSX issue).
Added '-gl_aspectn' and 'gl_aspectp' commandline arguments (and associated UI items) to set the aspect ratio to use in NTSC and PAL modes. This replaces the '-gl_aspect' setting. Hold-select/reset/button0 now work from the UI. Grabmouse can now be set in the UI. Changed status of the fix for ATI/OpenGL/sound from fixed to workaround. Sound will work for the first ROM, but not for subsequent ones. This improves on the previous behaviour, where sound didn't work at all. Bumped version to 2.7.1. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1655 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

2009-02-01 14:31:44 +00:00
(3) Add 'simpleUI/kiosk' mode to RMB context menu, which disables
all but the most basic functionality.
Update TODO list with recent suggestions from AtariAge threads and bug reports, and re-ordered things that are most important for the next major release. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1730 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
2009-05-18 13:23:36 +00:00
(4) Add tabs to snapshot view; add cartridge snapshots as well.
Update TODO list. I've had these items on an internal TODO list for some time; I guess it's time to make it public. I expect to add many of the top items for the next release (at this point hopefully in January 2009). git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1554 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

2008-11-26 16:22:55 +00:00
* Fix "Tron Man Picture Cart" (32K Tigervision bankswitching) issue
* Possible 'trace mode' in debugger (generate a file containing all
internal state)
* Automatic statesave at beginning of each frame (including state of
controllers and console switches), with the ability to 'roll back' to
a previous state/frame
* RewindManager to set up how often to save a state, and for how long
(debugger would be once per frame, normal probably once per second)
Updated docs for impending 2.3.5 release. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1281 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

* Improve speed of Pitfall2 emulation
* Add auto-detection for all remaining bankswitch types
Updating the PC in CpuWidget area now moves the PC indicator in ROM area. Disabled editing of banks when the ROM doesn't do bankswitching. Fixed Shift-Tab key not being detected (and hence not being able to reverse-tab through items in debugger). Bumped version number to 2.0 and updated all documentation. Barring anything major popping up in the next day or so, this is essentially the 2.0 release. git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@831 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
