The 4A50 scheme now works on all test ROMs I have, whether or not display
autodetection is activated.
I noticed there's some graphical glitches in the various 'Ruby Runner'
demos below the lowest wall of the maze. I'm not sure if this is a
bankswitching issue or TIA emulation problem, but I'm leaning towards the
latter. More testing is required ...

ROM that follows the specs. Also, it seems the final ROM that wasn't
working with this scheme actually *does* work; it just doesn't work
when display format autodetection is turned on. So that's what I'll
work on next.

on all but one of the test ROMs I have :) Thanks must go to Eckhard
Stolberg, who did about 95% of the work on this scheme.

when displaying output on a TV. Thanks to D. MacCormack for this code.

working though. I think there still needs to be TIA/RIOT chained from
the peek/poke methods.

broken support on other platforms.
Updated Visual Studio project to VS 2008 (where parallel compilation
actually works, and uses all cores on a multi-core CPU).
Updated OSX project files. I'm using Leopard now, and since the 10.2.8
SDK has been removed, it looks like 10.3 is the minimum supported version
(unless someone can suggest a fix).

generic joystick buttons.
Added complete keyboard/joystick support for all 4 paddles. Associated
paddle resistance decrease/increase/fire to joystick events in the
'spirit' of z26 (ie, joy0 left/right/fire is paddle 0, joy1 left/right/fire
is paddle 2, etc). These events can still be remapped independently
of joystick events, of course.
First real attempt at adding 4A50 bankswitch support, which is currently
being modelled on the E0 scheme (they're somewhat similar). The code
still doesn't work, of course.
Fixed bug in FASC scheme whereby reading from a write port didn't generate
an associated write as a side-effect. Thanks to Kroko of AtariAge for
the advice and partial code.

starting to go out of sync on my development machines. OK, where to
begin ...
Changed state file format, so older state files will no longer work. The
changes aren't finalized yet, so expect more breakage.
Added getByte() and putByte() methods to serialized data, resulting in
smaller state files (previously, 1-byte values were stored as 4-byte ints).
Totally reworked controller handling code. Controller state is now
explicitly set with an ::update() method, making it easier to serialize.
Some work is still required on the serialization stuff for more advanced
controllers.
Added a 'Serializable' interface to all carts, device, controllers, etc
that can be (de)serialized. This fixes a long-standing design issue
which I personally caused many years ago.
Console switches state (SWCHB register) is now saved to state files.
Added beginnings of movie support. Basically, this saves an initial
state file, and thereafter continuously saves controller and console
switches state. Support is still somewhat rough and there's no UI for
it, but it does successfully save and later load/play state movies.
Removed specific events for driving controllers, and have them use
joystick events instead. This has the nice side effect that
joystick direction remapping 'just works' for driving controllers too.
Fixed issues with paddle emulation seen in 'Night Driver' ROM. Related
to this, removed a hack wrt paddles when grabmouse is enabled. There's
still some work to do when using the mouse to emulate paddles, but the
Stelladaptor and real paddles work fine.
Added beginnings of TrackBall CX-22 controller emulation. It doesn't
actually do anything yet, but the class is there :)
Probably some other stuff that I'm forgetting ...
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1385 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
and removing it from EventHandler. For now, this is just a code
re-arrangment, but eventually state recording and rewinding will be added
to this new class as well. Since this new class will now do the job of the
(buggy) EventStreamer code, that class has been removed.

now not generate any errors when compiling without JOYSTICK_SUPPORT as well.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1380 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
to compare them to the remaining ROMs and possibly prune the database
a little.
Fixed some warnings when not compiling in JOYSTICK_SUPPORT.
Fixed missing include file in mainSDL.cxx.

First attempt to get OpenGL working in Vista; I think it's just a matter
of reloading the OpenGL function pointers. And I don't think it affects
other systems to do that anyway ...

and end of words in EditableWidget (ie, text widgets, etc).
Some more properties updates. I'm up to 'Freeway' now :)

GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE OpenGL extension. For now, this will default to
off, since some people are having OpenGL issues that I can't seem to
track down.
Added NTSC50 and SECAM60 modes. Switching between formats will now
use the current scanline count. So, if we're on a 60Hz/262 scanline
cart, the switchable formats are NTSC, PAL60, SECAM60. Otherwise,
the formats are NTSC50, PAL, SECAM. This makes the switching of cart
format act more like z26, where only the palette is changed.

have been out of date for years, as is the GoodTools package that
originally created them. Thanks to Rom Hunter of AtariAge, I now have
a much more up to date database to work with.
Viewing ROM properties from the ROM launcher is currently borked. I know
what the problem is (I caused it), and it will be fixed once the database
is converted.
Added very rudimentary copy and paste support between EditTextWidgets.
Currently, it can only copy internally, within Stella. This will be
expanded on to actually support the OS clipboard before the next release.

without having to actually start the ROM. There's no real error checking
in place yet; I just quickly added this to make mass updating of
properties easier.

interfaces and hopefully shortening recompile times (a lot of headers are
no longer unnecessarily pulled in).
Added an abstraction around SDL_Surfaces (GUI::Surface class) to reduce
dependencies on SDL to the core code.
Software mode now has some support for showing snapshots in RomInfoWidget.
Currently, it's restricted to 16-bit mode, and doesn't yet scale the images
vertically. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate software rendering :(
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@1364 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
and some game properties for the currently selected ROM in the ROM
launcher. There's still much work to do, but so far it's working
quite well. Software mode support isn't completed yet.
Beginnings of new filename semantics. For the next release, snapshot
files (PNG) and state files (stx) will be named 'Cart_Name.Cart_MD5.ext'.
However, for backward compatibility, the filenames 'Cart_Name.ext' and
'Cart_MD5.ext' will also be used, if present.
Added 'romviewer' commandline argument, which activates the new ROM info
viewer. Stella will have to be restarted for this to take effect. Still
TODO is add ability to toggle this from the UI.

will have to be restarted for this to take effect, so it still isn't the
ideal solution.
