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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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

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 ...

'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.

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.

of OSX. It was partially caused by 'negative time', or successive
calls to SDL_GetTicks() returning smaller values than previous calls.
This obviously totally confused the timing logic, which was never
designed for time to go backwards. Related to this, setting the
framerate to 0 from the VideoDialog UI (indicating that auto-frame
should be used) ended up setting the time-per-frame to approx. 71
minutes, resulting in a delay of 71 minutes to the next frame
(which is what caused the 'lockup').
Changed all references to the Intel OSX build to also mention OSX
Snow Leopard (10.6), since the build won't run on 10.4 or 10.5.
Bumped version number to 3.1 (again). Hopefully this is good to go.

1) the interval between snapshots can be configured within the
'File Settings' dialog
2) the commandline option is now named 'ssinterval' instead of 'ssdelay'

while in emulation mode. The interval (in seconds) can be set
with the 'ssdelay' commandline argument.
Some minor cleanups to the EventHandler methods, making them
const when possible.
Added latest DPC+ changes from Spiceware.
Fixed issue with ROMs that run entirely from ZP RAM; no disassembly
was being generated when entering the debugger. For now, this
special case is detected, and the disassembly is generated for
the code that ran before the PC entered ZP RAM space. Eventually,
this will go away when the Distella fully supports disassembling
below 0x1000.

Also, it now accepts arguments as strings (never, always, auto)
instead of 0, 1, 2.

provided new snapshots where the UI has changed.
It seems to be getting close to a new release - perhaps this

post-3.0), and reworked how state files are accessed. The cart type
now determines if a state file is valid, meaning developers can use
one state file across multiple builds of their program.
Added 'runtopc' debugger command, and associated UI item in the
RomWidget area. This steps the code until the PC matches the given
value.
Added '16in1' bankswitch scheme, which is useful for ROMs named
'128-in-1' in RomHunter database. Also, all multicart schemes now
show the current ROM onscreen while switching between them.
Fixed bug in Serializer class when accessing files in read-only mode.
Such files would be created and set to zero size, even if only
reading was requested.

but the release time has dragged on enough (the last release
was in Sept 2009!).
Some general code cleanups for the OSX port, as well as fixes
to the menus. The menus contained items that in some cases
weren't actually tied to any event, or showed the wrong
shortcut key. Also removed some of the more esoteric menu
items, sticking with only the most basic ones (fullscreen vs.
window mode, volume control, etc).

disassembler. Hopefully this will lead to a new release very soon.
Added 'autocode' commandline argument and associated UI item (in the
RomWidget debugger area), which controls how Distella will use the
'automatic code determination' option. If set to 0/never, this is
completely disabled. If set to 1/always, it is always enabled.
The default is 2/automatic, whereby it is first turned on, and then
turned off if the disassembly doesn't contain the current PC address.
RomListWidget has now been completely reworked, so that it informs
RomWidget of its intent to change breakpoints and patch ROM. If
either of these fail, the action won't be performed, and more
importantly, it won't appear onscreen as if the action has succeeded.
This fixes an old bug whereby patching could fail, yet the onscreen
ROM data was actually changed. Related to this, the list has been
made as efficient as possible, and its contents are never un-necessarily
copied. Also, lines in the disassembly that cannot be modified no
longer show an edit area.
Due to the way the new disassembly works, you can no longer switch between
banks in the RomWidget (Distella would probably fail to disassemble in
such as case).
EditTextWidget can now indicate its contents have changed when adding
text to it.

handling to C++ stringstreams instead of C-style character arrays,
which fixed some segfaults (sprintf is evil).
First pass at tying the number of banks to the disassembly. The idea
is that the startup bank (which is now identified by the cart) always
starts at address at 0xfffc, while the other banks are defined by the
PC at the first time we enter the debugger. This is still a WIP,
since there's no actual checking done yet to see if the current PC
is in the current disassembly.
Added 'ctrlcombo' commandline argument, which completely disables
checking for Control-x key combos. This is useful when playing
2-player games where the 'f', 'r' and 'Control' keys are supposed
to be treated separately. Previously, pressing Control and 'r' or
'f' processed some other action (change framerate, reload rom, etc).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Updated the documentation for build info for Windows. Still TODO is add more detailed info for Linux and OSX.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Add Shift-PageUp/PageDn for scrolling with the keyboard in DataGridWidgets
(most useful with the new RAM UI having multiple banks of RAM).

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.
