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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fixed bug in handling analog axes with jitter; they were overriding events from
digital, hat and keyboard input.

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.

when changing between video modes). Added extra signature to the
bankswitch autodetection for the 4A50 scheme.

- 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

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.

launcher is selected, not the actual ROM directory. This speeds up
access, because generally you'll want to audit the directory you're
actually looking at.

much free time over the past month or so.

Removed reference to disassembly 'SKIP' command, since it isn't implemented
yet.
Decided on Nov. 15 for the 3.3 release date, and updated all relevant files.

emulation core, and distella). This allows to better see exactly how an
address is marked in the disassembly.
Updated Changelog with changes I forgot that I made (you know it's time
for a new release when you forget what's been added since the last one).

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.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2135 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
'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 :)

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.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2096 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba
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.

(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.

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.

Updated all remaining issues with the documentation and
changelog, and bumped the version # to 3.1.
