Converted many methods to take FSNode objects instead of raw string

be abstracted into the FSNode class directly.

ZIP 'folders'.
Removed obsolete unzip.h|c code, which hasn't been updated since 1998
and fails to compile on some systems. Replaced it with ZipHandler class,
which is a much nicer interface (and about half the code too).

Removed various 'Image' and 'Greeting Card' ROM info from the database;
the info was incomplete, and there's no way that I'm going over 7000+
ROMS to add them all. Eventually, I'd like the database to be for valid
ROMs only.

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.

Fixed bug in EFSC bankswitching; state files didn't contain extended RAM

Cleaned up the Serializer API, resulting in slightly faster operation
and smaller state files. Because of this, the state file format
has changed for this release (old state files will no longer work).

contain link files that were being erroneously detected as actual

Added FilesystemNode::isFile() method, and updated several places
in the code to use it. Previously, determining whether something
was a file was simply testing if it wasn't a directory, but this
logic isn't always valid (it's possible to be neither a regular
file *nor* a directory).

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.

manually up to this point:
- 'rom_diff.pl' command inspects two directories and looks at differences
in filenames, and copies ROMs into 3 new directories (ADDED, REMOVED,
and CHANGED). This is most useful for when RomHunter releases new
romsets.
- 'merge_props.pl' command merges all properties from a source file that
also exist in a destination file. This is useful when I do a mass-edit
of many ROMs, with the info being saved into my personal stella.pro file.
Running this command afterwards will 'merge' them into the master
stella.pro file, and then Stella can be recompiled with the new properties.

Checking in first pass at revamping the 'mcontrol' functionality. The idea is
that the mouse will be able to emulate different controllers on each of its
axes. For now, the left mouse button is tied to the X-axis, and the right to
the Y-axis. These modes will be saved per-ROM, meaning that the mapping can
be different for each ROM (it is saved as part of the ROM properties). Only
the paddles and driving controllers will allow this, since they're the only
controllers where a single axis makes sense.
Switching between mouse modes will be done with Control-0 (the Control-1..3
keys have been removed). This will allow switching all possible combinations
(left controller, right controller, per-ROM setting, etc).

This will help once we start porting to SDL2, which has an updated keycode
handling system. The plan is that the internal core keyboard stuff is now
insulated from any further changes in SDL.
This also allows eventually adding support for CompuMate controller,
which needs access to keycode names in a generic way.

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 previous mappings to be lost.
All attributes of a joystick (ie, number of sticks, number of axes, buttons,
hats on each stick) are dynamic, meaning that hardcoded values are no
longer used, making the handling more robust.

Added commandline argument 'thumb.trapfatal', which causes fatal errors in
the Thumb ARM emulation to really be treated as fatal (ie, the emulation stops
and throws an exception). This is enabled by default (as it always should be).
When disabled, fatal errors simply log the error and continue with emulation.
This was added because the current HarmonyCart ARM code isn't always exactly
compatible with the emulation in Stella, and there is a lagtime from when
Harmony implements something to when the same functionality is added to Stella.

from this point on, since I don't have to worry about breaking one mode

now, but is progressing nicely. This will be part of the new TV effects

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.

Fixed bug when using snprintf; we must use BSPF_snprintf, since the function
has different names in different OS's.
Optimized loading of PNG images in the RomInfoWidget so that memory allocations
aren't continuously being done. Basically, memory is allocated once and then
only re-allocated if a new image is larger than all previous ones. This can
increase memory use slightly, as the image data stays around between image loads,
and it remembers the largest image loaded. But if you images are all mostly the
same size, it should hurt memory usage too much. And it really helps on certain
systems where repeated (re)-allocations can cause problems.

The debugger 'saverom' command now uses absolute filenames, and by default
will save data in the users home directory if a proper path isn't included
in the filename. This fixes a major bug where ROMs were being saved to
the current or application directory, which in some cases were invalid
locations.

This basically shows a messagebox as soon as the debugger starts,
describing the error and offering the choice to continue debugging
or exiting the ROM entirely.
The DPC+ code now catches fatal errors from the Thumb ARM
emulation code and shows it as a fatal error in the debugger.
This means you no longer need to look at the commandline for
this output, and you immediately know that something has
gone wrong.
Added 'exitrom' debugger parser command, which completely exits
from the debugger *and* the ROM, going back to the ROM launcher.
Cleaned up the API a little, rearranging some classes and
adding references instead of pointers. More work to be done
in this area.

console (which doesn't exist on every platform). Also use proper C++
stringstreams instead of C-style arrays (which are evil). If an exception
is thrown, start the debugger with a fatal error message. Currently, this
message is simply printed in the debugger info window. Still TODO is add
a dialog to show the entire input from within the UI, as well as a way
to exit the ROM when a fatal error occurs.
Cleaned up the API a little, adding explicit declarations for when a method
can throw an exception. Also merged some empty classes directly into their
header files.
Added functionality to the System class for querying whether it has
been reset while in 'autodetect' mode. Autodect mode is defined as
when Stella starts and temporarily runs to autoconfigure itself.
Some classes (such as Thumb ARM emulation) need to know this, and
suppress debugging output/throwing exceptions when not running in
normal emulation mode.
I hope to have a new release done by the end of this week, or the end
of the month at the latest.

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.

- 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.

Wrapped THUMB ARM emulation in a define, so that it can be excluded
from builds. To enable it, the 'THUMB_SUPPORT' directive must be
included in the build process. This has been added to the OSX
project files, but is still TODO for Linux and Windows.

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 ...

multiple concatentation of strings. This should be faster, or at least
lead to less string constructor calls.
Output of 'ROW' directives in the disassembly now shows only 8 items per
line, instead of 16. This allows to see all the bytes without having a
'...' in between. A future release may customize this to the size of the
output area.
Fixed output from debugger 'disasm' command to properly align different
directive types and show GFX and PGFX output.
Bumped state file version to 3.3 final, since there are no further
changes to the code that will break the file format.

tired of doing it manually every time it changes.
Tweaked the handling of JSR, RTI and RTS commands, so they don't erroneously
mark associated addresses as CODE when in fact they're never actually
executed.
Several parts of the Distella code were marking areas as DATA, even though
it depending on knowing the values for the X and Y registers (which it
doesn't, as it's a static analysis). As such, these areas are now marked
as ROW instead, since that's as precise as a static analysis can do. The
processing blocks are left there, though, in case Distella is improved in
a future release.
All the above changes allow for better disassembly with less
'false positives' (ie, areas marked as CODE or DATA when they really aren't).

in the emulation core, since at that point it's unknown what they are.
I suspect there are other places in the core where this is being done,
so I need to go over the entire M6502.m4 file again.
In Distella, when tentatively marking an address range as CODE, stop
when encountering the first address marked as DATA/GFX/PGFX by the
emulation core. This is required since Distella will happily disassemble
CODE as far as possible, but addresses specifically marked as
DATA/GFX/PGFX obviously indicate the CODE range is finished. This is
also why it's so important to correctly mark areas as DATA; the
Distella algorithm depends on accurate information to know when to stop.

in a consistent way. Directives set manually have top priority, then the
results from a dynamic analysis (aka, from actually running the code), and
finally from a static analysis (aka, Distella itself).
Sometimes Distella will mark a section as CODE even if it hasn't been
marked as such dynamically. This occurs after a relative branch, which
Distella has no idea how to evaluate. It's possible that the code will
be executed eventually, but also that it will never be executed. As such,
these lines are marked with a '*', indicating that disassembly results
are tentative. If you get weird looking disassembly for these addresses,
it's probably a hint that it isn't really code at all.
PC addresses in the disassembly labels are now aligned with labels, and
shown in a lighter color. These can still be toggled on and off.

whether or not they're in cart space (aka, above $1000). Other parts of
the code can then choose whether to use them, if desired. This fixes a bug

were zeroed if they resulted from addresses below $1000.

detection and marking of those areas into the TIA class itself, specifically
at the location of the write. In other words, there's no longer an IF
statement executed for every STx opcode; the marking is done directly
within the write to GRPx or PFx, so extra code is only executed when
actually storing to those locations.
Fixed several cases of opcodes marking an area as CODE when it should have
been DATA.
Added output to the CPU area of the debugger for displaying the source
address for loading data into the A/X/Y registers. Note that these are
only modified when actual addresses are used, so immediate and zero-page
mode will show addresses as zero (meaning that no address was involved
in retrieving the data).
Tweaked console font to better diffentiate the disassembly output between
graphics for players and graphics for the playfield.
Bumped state file format because of changes to M6502. This means old
state files will be broken.

LDA/LDX/LDY, and marking them as GFX during a zero-page STA/STX/STY.

used as a peek operand). Still TODO is deal with poke areas, which would
be relevant in carts with extended RAM.
The interaction between the internal tracking and Distella is now much
tighter, in that knowledge gained by Distella is used in the core code,
and vice versa. This allows the best of both worlds, where the internal
tracking finds stuff at runtime (that couldn't be found in a static
analysis), and Distella tracks potential paths (that haven't occurred at
runtime yet).
Added 'type' debugger prompt command, which basically queries an address
for its disassembly type (CODE/GFX/DATA, etc).
Added debugger commands to query the last address used in an operation
for various registers, but they're only stubs at the moment.
Updated the bankswitch schemes to deal with accesses in and around the
hotspot areas. Previously, peek accesses in these areas weren't being
recorded as DATA areas.

in general) into the emulation core. For now, this means integrating the
directive names into CartDebug, and having Distella using those same names.
The new directive names were determined by discussion with Omegamatrix on
AtariAge, and are listed in order of decreasing hierarchy:
SKIP (the 'bit' trick to skip over sections of code)
CODE (addresses accessible to the program counter)
GFX (addresses where data is loaded into TIA GRPx registers)
DATA (addresses referenced somewhere in the ROM)
ROW (addresses never referenced at all)
The next TODO item is to have the 6502 core set these values during emulation.
This is currently (crudely) done with a true/false setting in System::peek,
where true corresponds to CODE. This will be extended, so that false
corresponds to DATA. Eventually GFX will also be detected, by watching writes
to the TIA GRPx registers. Still to work out is how to detect SKIP sections.
Anything not marked with one of the above directives will be marked as ROW,
which essentially means ROM space that is never used. This will have the
nice side effect of detecting dead ROM space, potentially leading to space
optimizations.

disassembly listing) to show/hide opcode/instruction addresses.
The disassembler now includes hints from current PC location *and* 'code
access points' from the emulation core. Testing has shown that some ROMs
don't show completely accurate disassembled output unless both options are
used.
Updated most of the remaining bankswitch schemes to use the new 'code access
points' functionality during disassembly, allowing for very accurate
disassembled output. Note that the more esoteric schemes (AR, 4A50, FE, MC)
are supported for now.

addresses used as part of code execution (ie, from the PC) during emulation.
This gives Distella much more information than can be determined from a
static analysis alone, resulting in an extremely accurate disassembly.
This also allows to generate very accurate debugger .cfg files.
Not all carts have been ported to this new scheme yet, particularly ones
having extended RAM that can be mapped out dynamically.
Note that this new scheme doubles the amount of RAM used for storing ROM
images, so up to 128KB extra will be used. There's also a small runtime
check for each instruction executed. Preliminary testing doesn't show
any slowdowns, but we'll see how it goes.

Cart class it's simply an optimization, but the Distella change actually
modifies the list of addresses (vs. modifying a copy of the list).

screen size (vertically), the window will open in partially truncated mode,
where the top of the PAL image is cut off. This normally won't be a problem,
as it's mostly blank space anyway.
App window centering is now honoured when changing video zoom levels, not
just when changing eventhandler states.
Bumped version # for another test release.

database, it now has its extension removed (.bin, .a26, etc).
Symbol and config files are now loaded when the debugger is first entered,
not when the ROM is actually loaded. This speeds up ROM loading, since
the user may never need to access these file (ie, they may never enter the
debugger).
The debugger 'loadconfig' and 'saveconfig' commands are now implemented.
Bumped version # for next test release.

Basically, directories are now guaranteed to always end in the path
separator. Ensuring this makes certain sections of code work faster,
and guaranteeing it allows higher layers of code to not worry about it.
Added 'cfgdir' commandline argument, to specify the default directory
for Distella-like Stella-compatible config files.
Implemented 'loadconfig' debugger prompt command. It's currently
working great with several test config files provided by Omega of
AtariAge.

mouse button context menu in the disassembly listing. This is used to
set the default display format for GFX data sections (currently, binary
and hex are supported).
Fixed bug in several debugger input areas to accept the '\' symbol.
This symbol is needed when entering data in binary format (it must
prefix the data if the default base for that field isn't binary).
Added 'jump' debugger prompt command, used to scroll the disassembly
to the given address (or there-abouts, if the address isn't valid).
Editing data in the disassembly now won't cause the display to jump to
the current PC. The display will only move to the PC when it actually
changes.

'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.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2100 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
The disassembler now accepts a range of start addresses and remembers
old entry points, so the disassembly becomes more complete each time
the debugger is used.
Changes to address offsets within the same bank are now supported
(ie, changing from $fxxx to $dxxx within the same bank properly
updates the display).
Re-added ability to manually change banks from the debugger prompt
and the disassembly UI. This now works correctly with the Distella
code.
Cleanup of the Cartridge::bank(...) API: if a bank cannot be changed,
the calling code will now know about it. This fixes confusion with
some ROMs, whereby changing a bank in the debugger prompt would print
a success message even if the operation failed.
Note that these changes have broken rewind in the debugger. Actually,
it only exposes problems that the rewind functionality already had :)

Some messages now use a smaller font, so the UI doesn't look quite
so monotonous.
SliderWidgets suppport the mouse scroll wheel to change values.

matched anything most of the time. Also, as this operation can take
a somewhat long time on slower systems, a progress bar is now shown.
Fixed handling of bit 6 in VBLANK TIA register, which is related to
how INPT4 and INPT5 are handled. This fixes at least one ROM that
should have failed in Stella, but didn't.

of the method, since fullscreen code need not be added.

is update the documentation for this.
Fixed bug reported by Buzbard from AtariAge concerning very large images
in the RomInfoWidget being clipped too small.
Reworked 'center window' functionality. Using the SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED
environment variable was always a hack, and a bug was introduced in X11
OpenGL mode in version 1.2.14. However, since SDL is now in maintenance
mode and won't be receiving any further updates, we have to bypass it
entirely. Added infrastructure for OSystem to center the application
window. For now, only Linux X11 mode is supported. Still TODO is add
support for Windows. OSX was never supported anyway. This also means
that the center window variable no longer requires the application to
be restarted.

present, and it properly loads and presents events from settings.
Still TODO is implement saveConfig(), to send the new events to EventHandler.
Modified ContextMenu/PopUpWidget to honour the 'mwheel' setting when
scrolling with the mouse wheel (previously, it always scrolled at 1 line
at a time).
Updated OSX project files for recent ComboDialog addition.

on AtariAge. It seems the documentation regarding port B is incorrect.
Pins previously defined as input/read-only *can* in fact be set as output,
which are then overridden if the console switches are pressed.
Or at least that's my understanding of it; I'm not entirely sure if this
is correct or not.

these bits were ignored, and treated as high all the time. A recently
reported Stella tracker posting noted that these bits could be
configured by SWBCNT to be input or output, and hence used as 3 extra
bits of storage. This is now enabled. Because of these changes, the
state file format has also changed.

1) Added a 'Reset' button to the UI, which resets (to defaults)
the currently selected item. This is more fine-grained than the actual
'Defaults' button, which resets *all* events.
2) Rearranged some buttons and resized UI. There is now a main 'Defaults'
button on the bottom of the dialog, which applies to the currently selected
tab. This also allows to set defaults for Virtual Devs, which didn't have
such functionality previously.
3) Added a 'Combo' button to the Emulation events tab. It doesn't do
anything yet, but eventually will allow to assign events to the 'combo'
events.
ContextMenu/PopupWidget now supports the scroll button on a mouse when
in scroll mode.

smaller than 640x480. Basically, the only way to use smaller modes is
on systems that report their desktop to be smaller than 640x480, or by
using the maxres commandline argument to simulate the same thing.

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.

window mode. Using modes smaller that 640x480 should now work in
all cases when using the 'maxres' commandline argument. Also, the
lower limit of 320x240 is now strictly enforced in all cases.

are multiple normal events that are called in sequence. The
infrastructure is in place to use these events, and they're
loaded/saved in the 'combomap' commandline argument. Still
TODO is add a UI to edit the events (manually editing the
config file is really tiresome).

the UI.
Modified the ROM launcher to display a messagebox when running Stella for
the first time (which currently means when the 'romdir' hasn't been set).
This messagebox suggests setting the default ROM directory, and if the
user clicks on 'OK', only then is the ROM directory file browser
displayed.
Reworked some of the event handling methods in EventHandler to save
function calls on every event.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2071 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
Also, fixed a potential future bug where Stella can't handle paletted
images. Basically, the error handling is now more robust.
Minor rework of the CartF8 class; it now looks the ROM MD5 directly and
decides if it's a 'special' ROM.
Several updates to the built-in properties database, including better
support for each game in the 8-in-1 ROM image.
Fixed crash in TIA handling of the playfield mask; it could cause a
segfault under certain circumstances.
Fixed bug in prune_snapshots script; it now properly handles directory
names containing spaces in both Linux and OSX (and probably Windows as
well, but this hasn't been tested).
Updated built-in PNG library to the latest version (1.4.3).

events that were set previously.

axes. It shouldn't be nearly as sensitive now.
Cleaned up handling of joystick hats, and fixed continuous events
(so that holding down a hat now sends continuous events until the
hat is centered again).
Fixed bug in prune_snapshots script; it didn't work with a snapshot
directory name containing a space.
