stephena ecb4689584 Some cleanups for the OSX port. Stella for the Mac is now known
simply as 'Stella', just as it is on other platforms (instead
of StellaOSX).  This indicates that the OSX port is now a
first-class citizen, with the same importance as Linux and Windows.
Also cleaned up various text files for spelling mistakes and
formatting issues in OSX.

Added credits for Richard Kennehan, who donated a 2600 console
and various controllers to help with Stella development.

stephena 48a48d8619 Added '-md5instate' commandline argument, which determines how a state load
is related to the currently running ROM.  If enabled (the default and current
behaviour), state files that do not match the currently loaded ROM will not
be loaded.  Otherwise, the state file will attempt to load.  Note that in the
latter case, this will probably cause 'bad things' to happen.  It's mostly
for developers who are constantly recompiling a ROM, and wish to use a
previously created state file even when the ROM MD5 changes.

stephena d8bca7a519 OK, this is the first pass at some love for the OSX port, which doesn't
get nearly enough attention.  This is about to change, since I'm moving
to using it full time at work (still Linux at home though!).

The 'Control' key modifier for OSX is now the actual Control key, just like
on every other platform (instead of Command).  The 'Alt' key modifier for
OSX is now the Command key (instead of Shift-Cmd).  Maybe in the past it
made sense for this, when keyboards weren't the same between platforms, but
that's no longer the case.  And since Stella requires at least OSX 10.4,
everyone using it from this point on probably has newer hardware.
Still TODO is consider a few special keys for OSX (minimize, hide, etc).

Updated documentation for new key combos, as well as the recent build
and debugger improvements.

stephena 2fa8b1ee70 Added ability to dynamically toggle TIA collisions for the 6 graphical
objects.  These actions are tied to the same keys as for toggling the
objects themselves, with the addition of the 'Shift' key.  For example,
toggling the P0 object is 'Alt z', and toggling P0 collisions is
'Shift-Alt z'.  Note that disabling an object will obviously disable
its collisions as well.  Still TODO is work out how these keys map on
OSX; the Shift key is already being used for something else.

Reverted Cosmic Ark 'starfield effect' to match the descriptions
given in the 'Stella 3.0 released' thread on AtariAge.  It seems the
system I tested this on has an Svideo mod board that changes the
output from a normal console.

Bumped state file format header, since the TIA internals have changed
again.  As well, bumped version # to 3.1_svn.

code, and for the new builds of Stella for Windows.

stephena 48beb4fd1f First pass at automating the Windows builds as much as possible. Ideally, I'd like to just double-click a BAT file, enter some version info, and have it do 32 and 64 bit builds.
Updated the documentation for build info for Windows.  Still TODO is add more detailed info for Linux and OSX.

stephena ddc77bd7e7 Added button for rewind to the debugger, next to the buttons which it
applies to.

Bumped version # to alpha3.

stephena 000460306c Added "Fixed Debug Colors' mode, similar to the functionality in the
no$26K emulator.  Basically, when this is enabled, the COLUP0, COLUP1,
COLUPF and COLUBK registers are locked to hardcoded values.  This can
be used to clearly show which registers are drawing which part of the
TIA display.  For now, the colours are locked as they're shared on
a real system (so P0 and M0 are locked to the same colour).  Future
versions may separate these shared registers for even more clarity.
This functionality is toggled with the 'Alt-Comma' key combo.

Updated the state handler to reject loading state files older than
this version, since the TIA internals have changed.  This will be
done each time the TIA code changes from this point on.

stephena 35ad585c48 Modified -fullscreen commandline argument to accept an integer instead
of a boolean.  It now accepts value '-1' to mean 'completely disable
fullscreen mode switching'.  This was added because some systems with
buggy video drivers can't handle fullscreen mode, and accidentally
trying to do so can lock up such a system.

Fixed fullscreen/windowed switching wrt grabbing the mouse.  Sometimes
switching from fullscreen to windowed mode had the cursor trapped in
the window, even if grabmouse was disabled.

stephena 82268325a0 Added '-joyallow4' commandline argument and associate UI item in
InputDialog/Virtual Devs to allow all 4 directions to be pressed
simultaneously on a virtual joystick.  This support was always present
for 'Bumper Bash', but it can now be enabled/disabled for any ROM.
Note that the setting is ignored for 'Bumper Bash', as that ROM
requires it to be always turned on.

Fixed debugger rewind issue from last commit; the rewind list wasn't
being properly reset when entering the debugger or selecting a new ROM.

stephena 26749a4c36 Updates bankswitch schemes 'FASC' and 'MB' to their more common names
of 'FA' and 'F0', respectively, as defined in Kevin Horton sizes.txt
and used in z26.  For compatibility, the old names can still be used.

stephena 7be6be8263 Added 'Go to previous directory' event to the UI. Currently, this is
mapped to Backspace, and is used in the ROM launcher and various
BrowserWidgets.  The event can be remapped if desired.  When I'm
testing Stella, I tend to use the keyboard almost exclusively, and
it was getting a little tiring to reach for the mouse each time I
wanted to change directories.

Bumped version number.

stephena 3aed9378a8 Updated filename handling so that paths saved to the config files and
shown within the UI use the '~' symbol whenever possible.  This means
that paths from the settings file are now truly relative; change your
home directory, and the settings file will still work (it no longer
contains absolute path names).

stephena f271830ed4 Changed 'exitlauncher' commandline argument to 'uselauncher' (which makes
more sense, as it isn't a double-negative any more).

Made PropSet::getMD5() more explicitly return a boolean indicating if the
properties were found, vs. having a CartName of 'Untitled' indicating that
it wasn't found.

The file being used by Stella in multi-file ZIP archive is now shown in
the window title, vs. showing the name of the ZIP file itself.  Related
to this, a file with an extension of 'rom' is now valid inside ZIP
archives.

Updated documentation for bankswitch types, more clearly indicating which
ones support autodetection and the debugger.

stephena 111ae9185f Well, it looks like I can squeeze this into 2.8 after all.
Randomized value placed in accumulator after exiting the SC BIOS for
SuperCharger ROMs.  This should fix issues in Dragonstomper, where it
seems the randomization of its items depending on a random accumulator
value.

Re-added '-fastscbios', and when enabled, it completely skips
the emulation of SC BIOS progress bars (previously, the bars were
simply sped up).  This defaults to off, for more authentic emulation.
Related to this, added a UI item in VideoDialog to enable/disable it.

Thanks to Eckhard Stolberg for advice on the SCROM, and how to
modify it.

stephena e34594d1b7 Update to documentation for 'exitlauncher' command.
Add Shift-PageUp/PageDn for scrolling with the keyboard in DataGridWidgets
(most useful with the new RAM UI having multiple banks of RAM).

stephena aa2e76c4ea Updated documentation about CRT simulation effects.
General updates to the documentation for people I forgot to include in
previous releases.  Also added websites where applicable.

Update AboutDialog to be more current, showing only those members
currently active in the Stella project and the other teams that have
contributed code.  For more specifics, you should now see the manual.
Basically consolidated all contribution info into one document, so it
has to be kept up-to-date in only one place.

stephena 82325b731c 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.
