Stephen Anthony 628f981121 Various cleanups to documentation and snapshots:
- 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
2017-09-18 19:50:37 -02:30
Stephen Anthony b54b4eb4f6 Fixed documentation on some debugger 'save' commands; they don't take
any parameter, and choose the name (and locations) themselves.
This needs to be fixed, and will happen when I get to issue #172
(add save file dialogs).
2017-09-09 15:50:27 -02:30

Stephen Anthony d613173cd7 The default phosphor blend level can now be set globally (fixes #144).
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.

Stephen Anthony d99f83580f Updated Linux/UNIX port to use XDG_CONFIG_HOME for storing settings
file.  For most people, that means the files are now stored in
'~/.config/stella' instead of '~/.stella'.  Manually moving the directory
will be necessary if you wish to keep the old settings.

Stephen Anthony 072015c82a Removed toggling of displaying HMOVE blanks. With the old core, what
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feature is obsolete.

stephena f5eca188ce And the process starts again.
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 #.

stephena abd4c9efa8 ZIP files now show nested files and directories instead of everything
being compressed into one level.  In the process, moved all ZIP-related
functionality from OSystem into FSNodeZIP, since it's the only thing
that actually uses it.

2014-10-23 15:52:39 +00:00
stephena 42dec8321d Changed debugger shortcuts to Control-combos to match the old
Alt-comboes, as these are easier to remember than function keys.

2014-10-19 14:55:48 +00:00
stephena 964e1d7d88 Text input is all parts of the UI will now use the users own
keyboard layout.  This means that non-US layouts can finally
enter (ASCII-only) text with Alt-Gr key-combos.  Because of these
changes, the global debugger keys for rewind/step/trace/scan+1/frame+1
are now the function keys F4 to F8, respectively.

mouse cursor (useful for fullscreen-only frontends).

stephena 8f2123a5bf Aspect ratio correction is now properly applied to the TIA in windowed
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.

stephena 0c3b9f1443 OK, just checking in to let everyone know that I haven't abandoned the SDL2
conversion.

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.

stephena a58fb7165e The 'center' and 'vsync' options are now honoured. Many commandline
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.

stephena 60dd213a0a Added preliminary support for DASM lst files (currently to differentiate
symbol names in the DASM symbol file).  This partly fixes a deficiency in
symbol files, whereby two names could have the same address (one has an
address, the other as a constant), and Stella would use whichever one
occurred in the file last.

stephena 4750c64a17 Phosphor mode now works with Blargg TV effects! It takes an extra 2-3 MB
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.

stephena 92cda788c4 Fixed missing 'Enter' key in CompuMate emulation. It seems that the
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.

stephena c95d5f804d Updated all files to copyright 2012. Happy New Year to anyone reading
these logs!

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.

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.

stephena 55f4de0725 First pass at converting the OpenGL renderer to be OpenGLES 1.0
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.

2011-08-16 19:33:28 +00:00
stephena a16f862193 Added logging capability and viewer. This is useful for those platforms that
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.

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.

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 ba1019a308 Updated documentation for missing commandline arguments.
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 ...

Fixed debugger prompt messages to show correct info when opening
various files (config files, autoexec, etc).

The debugger 'type' command now accepts a range of values.

Reverted handling of ROMs that aren't in the internal database;
they're inserted with their extension again, just as in older
releases.

stephena d664beb45d Several changes to make entering commands at the debugger prompt
case-insensive.  Currently supported are all commands and
pseudo-registers.  Equates/labels and user-defined functions are
still a WIP, since they're stored in various hashtables accessible
by name, which is still a case-sensitive operation.  In general,
tab completion is mostly case-insensitive.

Changed the delimiter for surrounding lines with spaces from curly
braces ({}) to the apostrophe (').

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.

stephena 6fbd57d63b Added note to documentation recommending something other than SDL 1.2.14

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).

stephena ee43255ea1 Many changes to the UI to fully support the smallest resolution that

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.
