set defaults for revisions, rewind and ARM tabs of the prefs window (in
addition to the CRT tab). set defaults button labelled appropriately
fixes some race conditions caused by pre/post hooks on prefs values -
prefs values are generally goroutine safe, except when pre/post hook is
defined
double-click in ROM selector loads the cartridge. cartridgine
information below thumbnail. save ROM selection to preferences.
automatically select previous ROM on next session.
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.
both values saved to disk and editable editable via terminal interface
nick editable in PlusROM preferences window
String type in prefs package can not be set to a maximum length
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.
disassembly window shows "executing from cartridge RAM" message
better disassembly decoding loop. clarified and corrected commentary in
disassembly package. identified some more critical sections in
disassembly package
this results in a better mnetwork disassembly
origin and memtop for disassembled entries are now definable. added
disassembly.FxxxMirror to preferences. PREF command can now set
FxxxMirror option. Added checkbox to win_prefs
renamed Iterate to IterateBank and added IterateCart
UpdateEntry() ignores any result not in the cartridge ROM space
tidied-up/unified preference files in debugger/disassembly/hiscore
packages
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
