Changed "Exception Points" to "Exceptionpoints" in the debugger
documentation and help. This better matches "Watchpoints" and
"Registerpoints". Also, it's very confusing that you see the help topic
listing showing "Exception Points" but typing "help Exception Points"
doesn't actually work.
cpu/e132xs: Fixed a flags issue in the recompiler.
misc/dgpix.cpp: Demoted The X-Files to not working with unemulated
protection.
skeleton/turnierdart.cpp: The srcclean on this file was missed.
This does essentially the same thing as the Win32 lightgun provider,
mapping the absolute pointer position over the window to gun axes.
Also added a bunch of const in the windows input handling code.
docs: Bumped version, as features that are not in a releaesd version of
MAME are now documented.
Also simplified implementation by better leveraging util/strformat.h.
This is from pull request #12124, to get some testing for the
fundamental change before freeze.
This allows interested parties to receive notifications on media
changes. This is demonstrated by the file manager and media image
information menus now updating immediately if the system ejects a
mounted image, or a mounted image is changed by a script or something.
ui/filemngr.cpp, ui/info.cpp: Update file manager and media image
information menus immediately on media image changes.
ui/menu.cpp: Return index of added item from item_append.
bus/generic/slot.cpp: Use out-of-line virtual destructors to avoid
vtable link errors in certain single-driver builds.
bus/nubus: Tidy up some #include statements.
Also corrected some copy/paste errors in documentation, and bumped
documentation version as it now describes features that will appear in
an upcoming release.
* Moved several machine lifecycle callbacks to the notifier/subscriber
model. The old callback registration model is still available for
them for now, but prints a deprecation warning.
* Added pre-save/post-load notifications.
* Use a single allocated timer rather than one anonymous timer per
waiter. Waiters no longer prevent saved states from being loaded.
* Clean up outstanding waiters on stop or state load rather than just
leaking them.
* Started documenting parts of the emulator interface object that should
be relatively stable.
-imagedev/avivideo.cpp: Fixed an object leak on unload. Also changed
some other media image devices to use smart pointers.
Functionally, the only difference between the system definitions is that
GAMEL lets you specify an additional internal layout and SYST lets you
specify a compatible system. COMP and CONS are just aliases for SYST -
the aliases can be phased out.
Removed arcade.flt and mess.flt altogether - opinion seems to be split
between misinterpreting them as fully supported and considering them
unnecessary. They were marginally useful as a performance test for
makedep.py, but that isn't important. We still have nl.flt as an
example .flt file (although it doesn't use "-" exclude directives).
Moved the UI active flag from the machine to the UI manager. Nothing
else uses it anyway (it's still accessible to scripts).
* Added initial support for XInput controller subtypes, starting with
driving, arcade and flight controllers.
* Check XInput capabilities to ignore buttons and hats that aren't
present.
* Added preliminary SDL Game Controller joystick provider. Reconnection
and mixed Game Controller/Joystick devices are unsupported.
* Show the input token for the highlighted control on input device
menus.
-ui: Allow menus to set required space above and below menu when metrics
change. Fixes the initial bad layout on the system selecton menu, or
bad layout after resizing windows.
Updated instructions for building subsets of MAME using the SOURCES
option.
Added descriptions for several more "useful" settings.
Bumped documentation version as the build system changes are not in
0.245.
Added menus for controlling toggle inputs, and showing recognised input
devices and control state. Moved input menu options off main menu to a
submenu, as there are a lot of them now.
Moved menu heading drawing into base class, added headings to more
menus, and made headings more consistent with the menu items used to
reach them. Also made terminology more consistent.
Changed the default names for buttons and hat switches/D-pads to use
1-based numbering. DirectInput still returns 0-based button numbers for
some devices.
Removed local copy of MinGW xaudio2.h as it’s now included in the MSYS2
package. Also fixed building the DirectSound sound output module with
the SDL OSD on Windows - the Windows headers are sensitive to include
order.
Started adding documentation for menus, to hopefully help people find
menus they remember seeing but can't recall how to access.
For translators, this makes terminology more consistent. In particular:
* "Settings" is preferred over "configuration" in a number of places, as
the latter can be construed as referring specifically to settings
stored in .cfg files in the cfg_directory folder. Also, references to
saving machine configuration could be interpreted as relating to the
settings on the "Machine Configuration" menu.
* The controls on host input devices (e.g. keys, buttons, joystick axes)
are referred to as "controls", while emulated inputs are referred to
as "inputs".
* The menus for assigning host controls to emulated inputs are called
"input assignments" menus to distinguish them from other input
settings menus.
* Combinations of controls that can be assigned to emulated inputs are
referred to as "combinations" rather than "sequences".
* The potentially confusing term "ROM set" has been removed altogether.
Use "short name" to refer to a device or system's identifier.
* "System" is used in almost places to refer to a complete, runnable
system rather than "Machine".
* "Driver" is now only used to refer to source files where systems or
devices are defined - it is no longer used to refer to individual
systems.
* A few more menus have message context for the messages. This makes it
a bit easier to guess where the messages are used. It also means you
can use different translations in different places if necessary (e.g.
if the same English text should be translated differently as an item
in one menu and as a heading in another).
* Also added a couple of missing command-line options, and added a local
table of contents to the (rather long) command line options page.
-Added a separate CI target for localisation updates that produces an
artefact, and removed the message catalogs from the trigger paths for
the Linux CI build.
Changed name of element to "collection" and initial visibility attribute
to "visible", and added them to documentation. Also added them to
complay.py.
Fixed issue with collection inside group, and improved initial view
selection behaviour.
Updated some internal layouts to demonstrate new features, including
et3400, irrmaze, ltcasino, mekd3/mekd4, seawolf and vgmplay.
Removed all uses of cpanel, marquee and overlay from internal layouts
and removed them from complay.py to actively discourage use. Also
cleaned up view names in layouts that were using them in place of
spaces, and removed some superfluous name attributes on elements that
won't do anything useful with an output value anyway.
Made vgmplay cycle visualiser modes when visualiser screen is clicked.
Fixed a copy/paste error in bus/rs232/hlemouse.cpp while I'm at it.
* Update MAME docs revision to 0.216
* Add FAQ question about autofire with walkthrough of setup process.
* Add VSCode .gitignore for RST compilation temporary folder (/docs/source/_build)
* Add a caveat about autofire+normal fire mapping
* Add -lowlatency to the docs.
