changes includes:
- append "options_" to core-related variables
- remove some unnecessary function calls
- change some float data types to double
- set max geometry width/height depending on max values for the system being emulated
- create advanced core options to minimize the number of options shown
- style nits
- Add core option to allow RTC to be enabled regardless of rom. This usuable for rom patches that requires the RTC to be enabled yet the RTC flag is not enabled. (aka Pokemon patches)
- minor n0n-functional changes
- cleanup gb built-in palette struct
- update retro_get_memory_data/size to directly use related variables for RAM and VRAM
and fix sizes (GB vs GBC pointers and pointer size) for proper cheat search support.
You can now access full 32K ram of GBC for example.
We set using the QWERT keyboard as a reference. These keys should
be located at fixed positions on most QWERT keyboards.
KEY | KEYBOARD
-------|----------
UP | W
DOWN | S
LEFT | A
RIGHT | D
A | L
B | K
R | O
L | I
SELECT | Backspace
START | Enter
- Fix#463.
Add option to remove all configuration related to checking for updates
online. Although it is not implemented at the moment, these options
appeared on our menu `Options` > `General ...`.
- Fix need of patch on #140.
It is not possible to pre-select a file with `wxFilePickerCtrl`. Hence,
we add a label to show the current gopts.{gba_bios,gb_bios,gbc_bios} is
being used, if any.
- Fix remaining of #196.
Several toggle options from the main menu could not be handled by the
key shortcuts. This was mainly because the code was only checking if
they were ticked or not.
When a key shortcut was pressed, the key itself did not trigger the
tick of the box from the menu, hence nothing was being done.
We are not setting the debug ones because they are not being missed
by the users (yet).
- Fix remaining of #88.
We use the following key input if the config `vbam.ini` does not exist:
input | keyboard
A | A
B | S
L | Q
R | W
SELECT | Z
START | X
We also set a joystick default, using the XBOX 360 controller as a
base.
- Fix#463.
The idea of these was to show them available in `Options` >
`Key shortcuts` and allow the user to rebind them. We want the users to
use the keys rather than trying to change the volume via menu actions.
Similar update to GBA which does the following:
- reduces input lag by 1 frame by reading user input at beginning of cpu loop
- audio and video timing update, which sends audio and video at every frame possible
- add missing sound state variable, soundTicks for gb and gba
Map initial state of axis to 0. This is sufficient for the time being
for the 360 triggers to work better.
