stephena 08ae1c3fe8 Updated how the debugger is created, and protected against using the
debugger before it has been initialized.

Tweaked the format auto-detection by also looking at the TIA scanline
at which drawing first occurs.

2011-12-23 00:04:58 +00:00
stephena 56694b5934 The sound system is now opened once per program invocation, and paused
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.

2011-12-21 17:18:53 +00:00
stephena d35c220953 Huge restructuring of the joystick handling code. Event mapping is now
saved per device, so that unplugging and replugging a joystick won't cause
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.

2011-11-29 22:12:13 +00:00
stephena e8776a79d6 The default snapshot dir is much saner, defaulting to the users'
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.

2011-11-19 18:28:17 +00:00
stephena 377765f565 Removed all traces of the OpenGL TV filters. This is due to be replaced by
Blargg NTSC filtering, but we need to revert to base functionality first.

Cleaned up the debugger API wrt converting values from integers to strings
(and vice-versa).  There is now only one method for each of these functions,
rather than several ways to do so.  In the process, convert from unsafe
sprintf functions into snprintf (eliminate potential buffer overflows).

The debugger 'print' command now indicates if any assigned label represents
a read-only location (R), a write-only location (W), or a read/write location
(R/W).

Fixed bug in DataGridWidgets (used in debugger ROM and CPU registers), where
scrolling the mouse-wheel would cause a segfault.  Scrolling the mousewheel
now changes these items as expected.

2011-06-11 23:55:53 +00:00
stephena 2d9d487300 Fixed bug with autoexec.stella debugger file not actually executing its
contents.  The file was being accessed and read, but the commands it contained
weren't being executed!  This bug appeared in April 2010, so it looks like
not many people are using this feature (or at least they're not reporting it).

Cleaned up a few compiler warnings in DebuggerParser class.

Bumped version # for beta release.

stephena cb3f0e96ba Zero-byte ROMs are now rejected, instead of being loaded as Supercharger ROMs.
Fixed bug in handling analog axes with jitter; they were overriding events from
digital, hat and keyboard input.


git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2251 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
2011-06-09 20:50:19 +00:00
stephena df71aa03d1 Cleaned up the FilesystemNode API a little, removing some redundant code.
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.

stephena 4c59d810f1 Grabmouse now has a hotkey (again). Fixed mouse motion handling in
several cases (fixes problems when moving the mouse too fast or
when changing between video modes).  Added extra signature to the
bankswitch autodetection for the 4A50 scheme.

stephena 2b9f625f76 Re-enabled 'grabmouse' functionality with a few changes:
- 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

2011-05-27 15:48:35 +00:00
stephena 4e6d4cb1c6 Cleaned up some inlines that weren't needed.
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.

stephena 2da201c4a2 Added controller types 'Paddles_IAxis', 'Paddles_IDir' and 'Paddles_IAxDr',
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.

2011-05-06 19:58:56 +00:00
stephena 264145a939 Huge improvements to paddle and mouse handling:
- 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.

stephena 6478176abb Upon opening the ROM audit dialog, the current directory from the ROM

stephena fca261c4e3 Updated debugger documentation for recent disassembly changes.

yet.

address is marked in the disassembly.

for a new release when you forget what's been added since the last one).

stephena f3483ca8b1 When in 'small' window mode and attempting to open PAL ROMs larger than the
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.

stephena 26b1654aa2 Some minor UI improvements to the InputSettings dialog; renamed the
'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.
