VCSReturnChannel so the television can inform the VCS about a change in
television spec. The VCS uses this information to forward clock
information to the cartridge.Step function
DPC and DPC+ music generators now use correct VCS clock value in all
instances
this affected regression tests when random state was switched on
- although regression tests reset the preferences to a known state
the timer was not affected when the VCS was reset, causing some
tests to fail inexplicably
result of changing rewind maxentries value displayed correctly in win_control
timer randomised on startup (if preference selected)
changing symbols preference updates disasm window vertical alignment
file selector:
- scrolls to top on directory change
- centres on current ROM when first opened
help note for the -state flags (REGRESS ADD)
changed default window position for timer window
updates attached pixelrenderers. added Refresh() function and added
'refreshing' flag to SetPixel()
cpu and tia memory references updated on rewind
fixed rewind.Append()
multi-controllers is now split into three different types
auto type elegantly handles switching of the controllers
better/cleaner memory access for peripherals and event handling
updated console commands and controller debug window
controller debug window has to use a slightly different lazyvalue
implementation. this is because atomics cannot store a different type to
the one that was originally stored; this is a problem when storing
interfaces (eg. ports.Peripheral)
the note about historical versions also being covered wasn't strictly
needed and was ugly. the LICENCE being in the root file from the very
first commit is sufficient.
amended debugger and existing preference values to use prefs package
amended sdlimgui to store window size/position using the prefs package
amended hiscore mechanism to use prefs package to store server & authentication
validity tests now check for the correct number of bytes read during
decode
BytesCount value increased with Read8BitPC() and Read16BitPC(),
exceptional handling for BRK command
cpu test added for BRK command. other existing tests passed new
BytesCount constraint without change.
improved type names to better reflect the Stella Programmer's
Guide
for instance Player type has been renamed to HandController. this
also removes conflict (in the developer's mind, rather than the
language) with the playerSprite type.
- sketched in web interface
o cartridge
- cartridge will now load from http:// target as well as local file
system
o Makefile
- added web and webserve targets
- streamlined how CPU results are created and stored
- speeds up execution a little
o debugger
- implemented Disable() function for consoles
- used to stop output when running initialisation script
- Attaching of cartridges now uses CartridgeLoader type
- CartridgeLoader type allows the caller to specify the cartridge
path and the format of the cartridge, if fingerprinting needs to
be overridden
- An expected hash value for the loaded cartridge can also be
supplied
o regression / playback
- regression database and playback scripts now include entries
specifying the cartridge format
