- When disabled, it also disables the debugger and cheatcode support
- UI-wise, this reverts Stella to 1.x functionality (before any internal UI was added)
- Eliminates 47000 lines of code for those ports (like libretro) that don't need it.
- This allows OSystem dependency to be removed in a few places (WIP).
- It more properly belongs in TimerManager, which has other functionality related to std::chrono.
- Historically this was a virtual method in OSystem, since different ports implemented it differently. Now that we use proper C++11 code, it doesn't need to be there anymore.
- Changed from a virtual call to a static call, so it's probably even a little faster.
- Each derived class no longer calls methods from the base class
- The base class now directly queries the derived class with a pure virtual method, making sure it is called
- Implemented 'basedir' commandline argument for Linux
Windows and macOS currently won't compile. I'll work on those next.
- commandline parsing is now done in main function
- loading of settings is handled by OSystem
- settings that are used only in main are not accessible globally
- beginnings of converting Settings class to use map instead of linear arrays
- only 'romdir' is configurable; the rest are now always under the 'basedir'
- next step is to allow 'basedir' to be configurable, and optionally use the APP dir
- ConfigPathDialog dialog is now almost empty (only contains romdir), so perhaps this can move elsewhere
Previously this was done by SDL_AddTimer, but the new approach is much better:
- it is proper C++ (using std::thread and lambdas)
- It is not tied to the SDL toolkit, which is C-based
Also, re-added logic to reset events ~0.5 seconds after starting ROM emulation; this resets 'hold' events
- renamed Rewinder and associated dialog to TimeMachine and friends
- changed EventHandler state enum to stronger 'enum class' type (and associated changes to the codebase)
- moved EventHandlerState into separate class, allowing a few files to not need to include EventHandler.hxx (reduce compile dependency)
- plumbed EventHandlerState::TIMEMACHINE into the codebase; still TODO is activate it and add a usable dialog)
pre-defined location (ROM files and disassemblies, etc).
- Repurposed the snapshot load/save folders by changing OSystem::defaultSnapLoadDir to OSystem::defaultLoadDir, and similar for the save dir
- In Windows, this directory will now be 'Documents\Stella', while in Linux/OSX it will be $HOME
- Testing still required for Windows and OSX; only Linux is confirmed to work for now
This has been in patch form for about a year, and I'm finally
getting around to applying it. Basically, we separate the Cart
class into 3 classes:
- Cart: stuff specific to cartridge emulation
- BSTypes: various bankswitch types, both as enum and strings
- CartDetector: actual bankswitch auto-detection code
Also made more use of smart pointers, and added const in a few
more places.
I promise to get back to the phosphor stuff soon. This is just
to clear my head a little.
