- Changelog updated for recent fixed from Thomas J.
- Minor formatting fixes in TIASurface class
- Updated documentation for 'ss1x' mode; snapshots now have only scaling disabled, not effects removed
- Updated snapshots for change in ss1x, and also ran them all through pngcrush, to optimize size
- changed from templates back to inheritance (sorry DirtyHairy :))
- added 'tsense' commandline argument and associated UI
- updated docs and screenshots for new functionality
Added new 'tv.phosphor' commandline argument to accomplish the above,
and associated UI item in Video Settings.
Updated docs for 'tv.phosphor' and 'tia.debugcolors'. More work is
needed on this, since I need to add screenshots for this new functionality.
- Updated default phosphor blend to '30'.
- Added shortcut keys Alt-i and Alt-o to decrease/increase phosphor
blend mode dynamically, while a ROM is running.
- Made range of blending 0 - 100.

'~/.config/stella' instead of '~/.stella'. Manually moving the directory
will be necessary if you wish to keep the old settings.
it drew in that area was sometimes garbage, and with the new core it
draws nothing at all (which is the correct behaviour). Hence the
feature is obsolete.
Added shortcut key to toggle TV scanline jittering, and have it default
to off. I'd really like to enable it again eventually, or perhaps use some
of the code in the case where scanline jumps are *really* large (since it
seems to emulate the output for every TV I've ever seen).
Bumped version #.

and (simulated) fullscreen mode.
Fullscreen mode is now simulated in that it creates a window that matches
what would appear in fullscreen. The next thing to do is actually have
the backend create this fullscreen mode correctly.
Changed 'gl_fsscale' to 'tia.fsfill' to more properly indicate what the
option does.

There are changes all over the FrameBuffer classes. Still TODO is
TIA resizing in windowed mode, and all fullscreen modes. The infrastructure
is close to completion, and it should be pretty easy to get the framebuffer
stuff done in the next week or so.

options have changed names. In particular, all tia-related options
now start with 'tia.'. This includes most of the old options that
started with 'gl_'.
Changed the names of all tv-effects options from starting with 'tv_'
to 'tv.', to match the name changes elsewhere.
Some work on the documentation to reflect the latest changes.

Distella '-r' option (Relocate calls out of address range) to
the disassembler core. Also added UI item to dynamically

of the disassembler.

RAM to do so, which I agonized over for about a week, but I feel it's
a fairly good tradeoff for the features we get. Eventually, I may come
up with a more accurate phosphor mode which eliminates this approach
entirely.
Reverted OpenGL framebuffer to 32-bit colour mode. We're using Blargg
effects, so we may as well get the full fidelity out of it. Besides,
testing has shown that there's not much speed difference between 16
and 32 bit modes, making me think that 16-bit is probably be swizzled
to 32-bit anyway.
Bumped release date to June 1, version to rc1.

this combo directly to CompuMate).
Mapped Func-Space to the Backspace key for CompuMate keyboard.
Func-space (which is actually Ctrl-space is still supported).

z26 code never actually implemented this, so I'm not sure how people
actually entered Basic code. I guess not many people have played
with and tested this before.
Added more sensible keys for the CompuMate 'space' and 'enter' keys.
They're still mapped to '/' and ';' respectively (to keep locations
on the keyboard the same), but are also mapped to the actual 'Space'
and 'Enter' keys (to make usage much easier). I'll probably also
map 'Shift-;' to Backspace as well.
Updated documentation for CompuMate emulation.

Moved TODO and Credits info directly to the webpage, where it will hopefully
be easier to maintain.
Fixed 'crackling' sound when loading a new ROM, introduced with the 3.5
sound restructuring. It looks like stale data was being loaded by the
sound processing callback. As well, moved the computation of certain
division variables from the sound callback to the framerate re-calculator
(where it's recomputed 1/5 of the time or less).
Updated AboutDialog with info about Stella DonationWare status, and active
members of Stella development.
Updated OSX in-app HTML documentation about Stella DonationWare status.
Bumped version # to 3.5.1_svn, and the process starts again.

when it isn't needed. According to SDL this shouldn't be necessary, but
some combinations of video modes and audio hardware cause sound to stop
working if it's repeatedly opened and closed. So we have to keep it open.
Always attempt to use 2 channels (aka stereo) when opening the SDL audio
device. This is now required, since ROMs can request mono or stereo mode,
and the sound system can no longer be closed and re-opened with the
desired settings. So we need to always use 2 channels to accommodate
when it might be needed. This actually more closely emulates the 2600,
which does have two audio channels. The 'mono' vs 'stereo' ROM property
basically controls whether these channels are exposed (ie, does the
virtual console have two-channel audio hardware installed). In that sense,
these settings control how the channels are mixed.
Updated some settings to have more reasonable defaults.
Added acknowledgement for people that have donated hardware to help with
development.

desktop on OSX and Windows, and the home directory in Linux.
The associated commandline has been changed to 'snapdir'.
Added 'GL VBO' toggle button to the Video Settings UI, and in
general cleaned up its interface.

compliant. It actually went smoother than I thought it would.
This show allow Stella to run well on *any* hardware-accelerated
OpenGL machine, not just those with beefy video cards.
Cleaned up the code a little, removing more references to the old
OpenGL TV filtering (which will be replaced by Blargg NTSC
filtering soon enough). Also removed 'gl_texrect' option, which
specified to use the GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB extension (for
non power-of-two textures). It was never enabled by default,
didn't work with ATI cards, and wasn't accessible in the UI,
so I doubt anyone will miss it. Besides, it's not supported in
OpenGL ES 1.x.
Next is to look into VBO/PBO, to see if more optimizations can
be done.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2265 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
don't normally use the commandline (mostly Windows, but in some cases OSX as
well). The 'showinfo' commandline argument has been renamed 'loglevel', but
it has the same purpose. A new option 'logtoconsole' has been added, which
determines whether log output should also be directed to the commandline/
console (previously, it was always printed to the console). All these items
are now accessible from Options -> System Logs.
For anyone reading this (and that cares), now I can finally move on to the
OpenGL rewrite. The plan is that the new code will use OpenGL ES, which
is a subset of OpenGL 1.5. The main advantages are that you won't need
an advanced OpenGL card, and OpenGL ES is supported on most new 'smaller'
systems (iPhone, Android, etc), making ports much easier.

digital, hat and keyboard input.

- it doesn't have a hotkey any more
- it is changed in the "Input Settings' UI, not in 'Video Settings'
- it only has meaning while in emulation mode
- it is enabled by default
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2245 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
Updated documentation with info about 2600-daptor, including
usage and its creator. Also included more in-depth explanation
for the various controller types.
Errors from the Thumb ARM emulation code are now caught as exceptions,
and thrown to the parent class instead of calling exit() and simply
crashing Stella. For now, the messages are simply printed and
emulation continues. This will be expanded to show a detailed crash
log in the debugger, and offer the option to exit the ROM.
Removed most of the menus from the OSX port. They weren't being
maintained anyway, and most of them didn't work. I've modelled this
on the way other cross-platform OSX programs work (notably, ScummVM).
Basically, there are menus for exit and help, but otherwise you
should use the menuing system in the application itself.

which are specialized paddles classes that invert the axis, direction,
and axis+direction, respectively. Updated all applicable ROMs in the
properties database.
Cleaned up the menus in the OSX port; some of them weren't even tied
to anything. I'm seriously considering removing them all, except for
the Help and Quit items.

- mouse can now emulate joystick, booster-grip and driving controllers
- digital and mouse sensitivity for paddles can now be tweaked
separately, and have a greater range
- the mouse now correctly honours its controller setting, and only
controls a device on one one port (not both at the same time)
Added support for 2600-daptor device. Credit for creator of device
is forthcoming. This device is basically an updated Stelladaptor,
with improved handling for paddle data.
Grabmouse functionality is no longer user-definable; the mouse is
always grabbed while playing a game, and released otherwise.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2228 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
Added infrastructure to System and Device classes to deal with CodeAccessBase
even when the bankswitching scheme bypasses the normal System::PageAccess
way of reading ROM space. This allows bankswitching schemes 2E, AR, FE and
4A50 to support emulation core 'hints' for more accurate disassembly. The
only scheme not supported now is MC, which isn't really working anyway (I've
never actually had a test ROM for this scheme).
It's getting close, folks ...

yet.

'Virtual Devs' tab to 'Devices & Ports'. Updated documentation and
snapshots for this change.
Added Halo 2600 ROM info to internal properties database.
Increased default setting for 'joydeadzone' from 0 to 13. This means
the default deadzone is somewhere around half the axis range (~16500).
Fixed behaviour of hat events; events weren't actually being turned off
until the stick was centered.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2108 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
Added 'ramrandom' commmandline argument, used to toggle randomizing or
zeroing or all RAM in the system (both zero-page and SARA).
Disassembler now properly supports all test cases, including rewinding
within the debugger.
Added preliminary support for disassembling from zero-page RAM.
Bumped version # for final release.

when using windowed OpenGL modes in Linux. I've traced a bug in SDL
1.2.14 that causes mouse clamping problems, and have submitted a fix to
the SDL maintainers. But since 1.2.14 is supposed to be the last release
being done, I'm not sure how to proceed (maybe SDL will be statically
compiled in for a future release of Stella).

Stella can use (320x240). The app should no longer crash in such
low-res situations.
Various improvements to the UI, adding many finishing touches. The
text is more descriptive, and the options are somewhat better labeled.
As well, the available options are better presented based on the
restrictions currently in use (ie, if the maximum resolution is very
small, then the high-res resolutions are not shown in selectors, etc).
Added MessageBox to ROM Audit functionality, to warn that it is a
dangerous operation and that a file backup is advised.
Updated OSX build script to not crash when an older image has already
been created.

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.

(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.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2031 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
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.
