Set default rom directory to '~' ($HOME), instead of the current
directory.

stephena edb9a28eb1 Added MessageBox class, used to present a small message to the user from
the UI.

Modified the ROM launcher to display a messagebox when running Stella for
the first time (which currently means when the 'romdir' hasn't been set).
This messagebox suggests setting the default ROM directory, and if the
user clicks on 'OK', only then is the ROM directory file browser
displayed.

Reworked some of the event handling methods in EventHandler to save
function calls on every event.

stephena 8da0f4dbfe After spending several hours converting the zlib C-style files to
proper C++, I find out there's a PERL script to do it in about 5 seconds.
Yes, I feel like an idiot.

stephena 3e7662c478 Fixed bug in loading RGBA PNG images; Stella can only handle RGB data.
Also, fixed a potential future bug where Stella can't handle paletted
images.  Basically, the error handling is now more robust.

Minor rework of the CartF8 class; it now looks the ROM MD5 directly and
decides if it's a 'special' ROM.

Several updates to the built-in properties database, including better
support for each game in the 8-in-1 ROM image.

Fixed crash in TIA handling of the playfield mask; it could cause a 
segfault under certain circumstances.

Fixed bug in prune_snapshots script; it now properly handles directory
names containing spaces in both Linux and OSX (and probably Windows as
well, but this hasn't been tested).

Updated built-in PNG library to the latest version (1.4.3).

stephena b59672542d Further improvements to accessing the UI with joystick axes and hats.
The event mapping for such events is now done on the release of the
axis/hat, and not on the first press.  This should fix the remaining
problems with sensitivity, as the user must explicit press and then
release the axis/hat, with all other events occurring the meantime
being ignored.

Fixed bug in continuous events for axes/hats; event that represent
'off' should not be continuously sent.

stephena e0376c85d2 Tweaked navigating the UI with a joystick, particularly with analog
axes.  It shouldn't be nearly as sensitive now.

Cleaned up handling of joystick hats, and fixed continuous events
(so that holding down a hat now sends continuous events until the
hat is centered again).

Fixed bug in prune_snapshots script; it didn't work with a snapshot
directory name containing a space.

2010-07-06 15:12:00 +00:00
stephena c3f5aa2810 When starting Stella for the first time (ie, when the ROM directory hasn't
been chosen), a dialog box now appears, asking the user to enter the
default directory.  This directory will appear each time the ROM launcher
is entered, until the user selects a directory.  This will hopefully
eliminate bug reports from users that don't know what to do when first
starting Stella.

Big changes to the manual, separating the necessary, up-front information
from the advanced stuff that can be considered later (or not at all).
Also added more links to ease navigation.  This should make the manual more
readable for those that have complained it's too long.

The setting for TV color type is now 'Color' and 'BW', instead of
'BlackAndWhite', as before.  The old one will continue to work, though.

2010-07-06 15:08:35 +00:00
stephena 78fd3c0c7d Modified joystick axis event handling, so that digital output is always used
when sending axis events to the DialogContainer (ie, all UI-related stuff).
The UI code was originally written with this in mind, and wasn't designed for
analog input.  For normal digital sticks, nothing changes.  For analog sticks,
values are clamped to 3 points (max, min, off), and repeated consecutive
events are ignored.  This (partially) fixes bugs in the UI, where pressing
an analog stick would cause the current selector to move very fast.

Added repeat mode for joystick hats, similar to joystick axes (so holding
down a hat will cause continuous events to occur.  More testing is
required for this, as I don't actually have access to hats right now.

stephena 88e6b69195 Attempt to prune as much of libpng as possible, and only keep what
Stella actually needs.  I suspect more stuff will be excluded as
I look through the options.

2010-06-17 16:27:45 +00:00
stephena 99e7f6c5d0 The getTicks() method is updated to work similar to gettimeofday, for
systems where gettimeofday doesn't exist.  Basically, the functionality
for OSystem::getTicks() has changed to always output an increasing
value each time it's called, even between program runs (needed for
timestamps for continuous snapshots, but also for similar things in
the future).  It does this by refering to some set time in the past,
which is currently the UNIX epoch.

2010-06-16 15:40:57 +00:00
stephena 9b6ed83d7e Snapshots in continuous snapshot mode are now tagged with a timestamp,
so they don't overwrite previously created files.  This timestamp is
related to the millisecond that the snapshot was taken, so there's no
chance of overlap (snapshots can only be taken every 1 second / 1000
milliseconds at most).  The appended value is an 8-character hex
representation of this 32-bit value.

stephena 5099e2d9fc Some minor cleanups in the PNGLibrary class.
The UNIX builds for Debian and Redhat/RPM now default to using the
builtin PNG and zlib libraries.  This will ease issues at release
time, since we don't need to worry about those libraries being
present on the destination systems.

stephena 58452a6f37 Add ability to force use of built-in png and zlib library code, even on

and also for release builds (where we don't necessarily know if
zlib and libpng are installed).

stephena ec096dca6f Updated configure script to test for an external PNG library, and if
not found fall back to using the internal version (for Linux, and all
systems that use the configure script).

The debugger can now be resized in between ROM launches (ie, before
a ROM is actually started).  Previously, the entire program had to
be restarted for resizing to take effect.

stephena ec1d3c6e10 First pass at adding libpng functionality directly into Stella,
similar to the recent Zlib addition.  This is required for the
RomListWidget, which currently doesn't parse valid PNG files
that are generated outside Stella (in particular, those that
have been optimized and use row filtering).

stephena 88f7f656e6 First pass at integrating dasm '.sym' labels into the disassembly output.
For now, only the infrastructure is being modified.

Make disassembly output a little nicer by drawing a vertical line
separating disassembly text from the actual raw bytes.

Some changes to the SDL sound code initialization, which will (hopefully)
eventually lead to a fix for those users with ATI video drivers, and
not having sound after the first game has been played.

stephena 0c1029076c First pass at making Distella aware of labels defined in a .sym file
or from the user.  Before this is done, the parser needs to recognize
variable-length labels (right now, it used fixed spacing and assumes
the largest label is 8 characters).

Fixed bug in Distella; a label was being printed with an incorrect
quote symbol, which would break parsing of that line.

stephena 5ca6d8c49d Removed 'uselauncher' from the UI, as it really shouldn't be there
(ie, disabling from the UI kills the UI on future runs, so you can't
enable it again).  This should fix problems where users go
'click-happy' in the UI, turning options on and off just to see what
happens.

Added 'showinfo' to the UI, so you don't have to drop to the
commandline to use it.

Updated all release files and bumped version number for 3.1.2
release.

stephena f5dd4e6ce7 Updated DPC+ scheme to autodetect and use DPC+ carts in 32KB format.
These have ARM code appended to the beginning of the ROM, which is
(for now) ignored by Stella.

Improved memory usage for DPC and DPC+ schemes, so that an extra
copy of the ROM image is no longer required.  This also fixes a bug
in the getImage methods, which wouldn't have actually returned any
changes made by patching the ROM (it always returned the original,
non-modified copy).

2010-05-02 22:52:59 +00:00
stephena 5de12952ec Added OSystem::logMessage(), which abstracts the logging of messages to
an outputstream.  For now, the output simply goes to stdout or stderr,
just like before, but the possibility is now there to redirect to a
file if desired.

Changed 'showinfo' commandline option to accept 'levels' of output
instead of simply being a boolean.  The new default is level 1,
in which normal messages are output during a run.  Level 2 will
show more detailed info, and may be useful in debugging end-user
problems.  There's still more work to do wrt level 2.
