soundfile (WAV or MP3) will stop when cartridge stops looking for tape
data and will rewind when it reaches the end of the file.
tape position slider in debugger
removed all messages from errors package. the strings are now hard coded
in place. the original reason for extracting the error strings like that
was (a) for redundancy and (b) for localisation possibilities. However,
in reality there is not much redundancy and since the project started
the scope of localisation is much larger (particularly due to the
addition of a GUI)
this is the first step. the next step is to remove the errors package
altogether. recent additions to Go mean that the functionality of the
errors package is no longer required. moreover, the original idea for
the errors package functions turns out not to have been as useful as
first appeared (the Error() functionality which makes sure no repeating
sub-strings occur is probably better achieved with static tooling).
one idea that comes from this which is quite interesting is the idea of
a curated error. that is, any error that has been "wrapped" as some
'generic' type. the IsAny() function in the errors package effectively
serves this purpose. we use that in one place in the input loop of the
debugger. not strictly necessary but nice to have so it would ideal
if we could remove the errors package but keep that idea.
very rough currently. race conditions in network access, requires
restructuring.
no logging from network access. again, requires some engineering in the
log package to avoid race errors
hook function will be called when $fa1a is read to tidy up emulation
before continuing with the newly loaded ROM (eg. TV reset, dissassembly
of loaded data)
cartridgeloader package allows WAV file extensions
supercharger tape window added to debugger
not completed: known problems include cartridge not being
re-disassembled after tape loading.
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.
static data window in debugger
reworked menu system to allow cartridge specific window menus
cleaned up how cartridge RAM information is specified and retrieved
renamed cartridge.Format() to ID() and reference to "cartridge format"
to "cartridge mapping". format is an overloaded word already and it was
confusing.
