      StellaX now loads metadata from the stella.pro file (Filename, · 6b644925
      stephena authored 
      Manufacturer, Rarity, Note, etc).

Since the loading of the metadata is slow, I added a cachefile
for the gamelist (named 'stellax.cache').  If this file is present,
the gamelist is created based on the contents of the cachefile.
This is quite fast, since no stella.pro parsing or ROM loading
is done.  The cache file is recreated each time a full reload is
done.

Pressing the 'Reload' button always forces a full reload (not from
cache), so this is useful if you change the ROM directory (or add
ROMs).  Still TODO is add a check to see if the ROM dir has had
any files added to it since last time you ran StellaX, and do a
full reload.

Got rid of the filename field in the game listview.  Now only show
'Cartridge Name', 'Cartridge Manufacturer' and 'Cartridge Rarity'.
If some game doesn't have an entry in the stella.pro file, its
filename will be shown as cartridge name.

Still TODO are add sorting/permanent resizing options to the column
headers in the listview, and add options to the Config Page.  It's
getting close, folks.

      Removed defaultProperties() method from the Console class and put · 287bf038
      stephena authored 
      it in the PropertiesSet class, since it made more sense there.

This also allows the use of Properties and PropertiesSet classes in
StellaX without needing to bring in the Console class (and everything
associated with it).

      Changed some things wrt DEVELOPER_SUPPORT. The only extra things which are · c64b9a68
      stephena authored 
      now activated when Stella is built with DEVELOPER_SUPPORT is the ability
to change Xstart, Ystart, Width, and Height.  Specifically, the ability
to change NTSC/PAL mode, toggle different palettes, and save/merge changes
into the properties file is now standard in all ports, and is *not* strictly
a developer-only thing.  So that means that people who use a version of
Stella compiled without DEVELOPER_SUPPORT won't really miss much (the above
features are used by very few people).

Removed the commandline arguments -Dxxx, since they haven't worked for quite
some time anyway, and I doubt that many people really use them.  Besides,
there are still keyboard shortcuts to do the same thing.  To any developers
who don't want to see these things disappear; the next version of Stella
will include a debugger, and _that's_ the proper place to put those things.

Removed starting and ending '|' characters from the -listrominfo output,
since parsers have an easier time when those are present only _between_
elements, not at the beginning and end.

      Yet more StellaX code cleanup. · 40f77dc0
      stephena authored 
      The 'Browse for ROM directory' button now works, so you can change ROM
directories while within StellaX.

Added a 'Reload' button to the main dialog, so that when you change the
ROM dir, you can immediately reload the directory (instead of having to
quit and restart the app).

Added quotes around romnames; previously, names with spaces would cause
problems.

Removed old 'beta-testers' and 'thanks to' info from the Help dialog,
since it's over 4 years old and none of those people helped me :)

Still TODO is parse stella.pro info (so you can see romname, ms5sum, rarity,
manufacturer, and notes from the GUI), add a gamelist cache mode (so the
stella.pro and roms don't have to be accessed each time you start the
emulator, only when the romdir has changed), and add more options to the
config dialog.

      Removed the virtual Settings::usage() method from the SettingsUNIX · d77a8429
      stephena authored 
      and SettingsWin32 classes, since they both did the same thing, and
placed the method in the Settings class itself (ifdef'ed out for
OSX).  It was done this way when core was still in flux and each port
didn't support all the same options.  Since the core is now unified,
it didn't make sense to have a separate usage() method for each port.

Added the '-listrominfo' argument (can only be called from the commandline,
not set with the INI file).  This returns selected info from the stella.pro
file and exits immediately.  It returns data in the form of:

   # of roms (first line)
   MD5|Name|Rarity|Manufacturer|Note (# of roms lines) ...

This makes it much easier for GUI frontends to interface with Stella,
since all stella.pro parsing is now done within Stella itself.

Added various print() methods to Properties and PropertiesSet to
facilitate the above '-listrominfo' argument.

Fixed a bug in PropertiesSet::size(); it always returned 0.

      Added a new OpenGL feature (I promise, this is the last new feature before · b68b555b
      stephena authored 
      the 1.4 release :)  The commandline argument '-gl_fsmax true|false' determines
how fullscreen OpenGL mode works:

 - if gl_fsmax is false (the default), the screenmode used will be the closest
   one that matches the image dimensions.  For example, if the image is 740x520
   and the closest matching resolution is 800x600, then 800x600 will be used.
   If your desktop resolution is not 800x600, there will be an (annoying)
   mode change.

 - if gl_fsmax is true, the screenmode used will be the largest one available
   for your videocard/monitor, with the logic being that most people use the
   maximum resolution for their desktop.  In this case, a mode change
   shouldn't be required.  The image is scaled so that there's at least 10%
   black area on all sides, which when used with the gl_aspect argument, can
   provide a very authentic looking emulation experience.
