Previously these values were from whatever was on the databus, but new testing
indicates that they are semi-random (ie, random, but with some pattern).

The new code bases the values in part on the md5sum of the ROM (for randomization),
but also pre-generates a set number of values (for a pattern).

Currently only F8SC scheme is implemented.  The remainder will be done once
we test this one.

- this both speeds up load/save of state files, and makes them smaller
- affects both on-disk files, and Time Machine functionality

- "dev.console" selection move to developer settings
- random startup bank implemented for some (tested!) bank switchings
- Options dialog button added in debugger

- Removed System::PAGE_SHIFT from all classes (except where it's needed inside System); it is an implementation detail of that class that shouldn't be used outside the class, and was making the various calls to setPageAccess very messy
- Changed uInt32 to uInt16, and loop variable to 'addr' for all calls to setPageAccess; this is for consistency, and allows the reader to see how all the code is similar in different classes
- Updated comments in various places (mostly TIA and RIOT) to more clearly show how page accessing works.

- MC is being removed, since the code has never been tested, and a test ROM has never been created

This has been in patch form for about a year, and I'm finally
getting around to applying it.  Basically, we separate the Cart
class into 3 classes:
  - Cart: stuff specific to cartridge emulation
  - BSTypes: various bankswitch types, both as enum and strings
  - CartDetector: actual bankswitch auto-detection code

Also made more use of smart pointers, and added const in a few
more places.

I promise to get back to the phosphor stuff soon.  This is just
to clear my head a little.

Whitespace cleanup and update copyright to 2017.

Introduced Cartridge::initializeRAM() method, to eliminate duplicate
blocks of code in every bankswitch scheme that uses extra RAM.

std:: functions into BSPF namespace at all.  So I removed them, and have the
calls map directly to the std:: versions.

of these aren't actually bugs per-se, but are to follow good programming
practices.

a class more generic, but when it's never used, all it does it slow
things down.

since there are issues with mixing overloading and virtual functions.

*always* pass in 0,0,0 for the various bases, it is redundant to pass that
data in on each invocation.  So now the c'tor does it automatically.

cart RAM tab to the debugger.  This is tailored to each respective
cart bankswitch type, allowing much more information to be shown than
you'd see in the normal RAM area.

we need to modify what is caught.  Ironically enough, this fixes
a bug whereby when certain errors occur, the recovery system
itself would crash, not the issue that actually caused the bug!


git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2499 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

now load and play test ROMs, complete with emulation of timing delays
due to slow accesses on real Harmony hardware.  Still TODO is the tunes,
DPC+ stuff, which is stubbed out at this point.

Fixed bug in EFSC bankswitching; state files didn't contain extended RAM
information.

Cleaned up the Serializer API, resulting in slightly faster operation
and smaller state files.  Because of this, the state file format
has changed for this release (old state files will no longer work).


git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2487 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

Updated all bankswitch schemes for potential buffer overflow
issues.  Copying was being done without regard for the size of the
ROM buffer.

these logs!

Moved TODO and Credits info directly to the webpage, where it will hopefully
be easier to maintain.

Fixed 'crackling' sound when loading a new ROM, introduced with the 3.5
sound restructuring.  It looks like stale data was being loaded by the
sound processing callback.  As well, moved the computation of certain
division variables from the sound callback to the framerate re-calculator
(where it's recomputed 1/5 of the time or less).

Updated AboutDialog with info about Stella DonationWare status, and active
members of Stella development.

Updated OSX in-app HTML documentation about Stella DonationWare status.

Bumped version # to 3.5.1_svn, and the process starts again.

these logs :)

used as a peek operand).  Still TODO is deal with poke areas, which would
be relevant in carts with extended RAM.

The interaction between the internal tracking and Distella is now much
tighter, in that knowledge gained by Distella is used in the core code,
and vice versa.  This allows the best of both worlds, where the internal
tracking finds stuff at runtime (that couldn't be found in a static
analysis), and Distella tracks potential paths (that haven't occurred at
runtime yet).

Added 'type' debugger prompt command, which basically queries an address
for its disassembly type (CODE/GFX/DATA, etc).

Added debugger commands to query the last address used in an operation
for various registers, but they're only stubs at the moment.

Updated the bankswitch schemes to deal with accesses in and around the
hotspot areas.  Previously, peek accesses in these areas weren't being
recorded as DATA areas.


git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2145 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

addresses used as part of code execution (ie, from the PC) during emulation.
This gives Distella much more information than can be determined from a
static analysis alone, resulting in an extremely accurate disassembly.
This also allows to generate very accurate debugger .cfg files.

Not all carts have been ported to this new scheme yet, particularly ones
having extended RAM that can be mapped out dynamically.

Note that this new scheme doubles the amount of RAM used for storing ROM
images, so up to 128KB extra will be used.  There's also a small runtime
check for each instruction executed.  Preliminary testing doesn't show
any slowdowns, but we'll see how it goes.


git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2138 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

Added 'ramrandom' commmandline argument, used to toggle randomizing or
zeroing or all RAM in the system (both zero-page and SARA).

Disassembler now properly supports all test cases, including rewinding
within the debugger.

Added preliminary support for disassembling from zero-page RAM.

Bumped version # for final release.


git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2100 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

The disassembler now accepts a range of start addresses and remembers
old entry points, so the disassembly becomes more complete each time
the debugger is used.

Changes to address offsets within the same bank are now supported
(ie, changing from $fxxx to $dxxx within the same bank properly
updates the display).

Re-added ability to manually change banks from the debugger prompt
and the disassembly UI.  This now works correctly with the Distella
code.

Cleanup of the Cartridge::bank(...) API: if a bank cannot be changed,
the calling code will now know about it.  This fixes confusion with
some ROMs, whereby changing a bank in the debugger prompt would print
a success message even if the operation failed.

Note that these changes have broken rewind in the debugger.  Actually,
it only exposes problems that the rewind functionality already had :)


git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2098 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

now properly detected as E7.

Some minor cleanups to the Cart classes.

Fixed a *REALLY* annoying bug in Windows with the latest code.  It seems that System::PAGE_xxx enumerations were already defined elsewhere in a Windows header file.  This was very irritating to track down.  As a result, they're now named System::PA_xxx (for 'PageAccess').

The file selector in Windows now ignores all items starting with '.', not just the directories '.' and '..'.  This is most apparent when using the Windows port and browing Linux shares, which shows many dot files.

git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/stella/code/trunk@2012 8b62c5a3-ac7e-4cc8-8f21-d9a121418aba

informs the rest of the system about how a page of address
space is to be treated (READ, WRITE, READWRITE).  This makes it
much easier to track if a read from the write port has occurred.
As such, the _rwport command should now be somewhat faster.
Eventually, the debugger/disassembler will use this info to
colorize the output.

'Stephen Anthony' (aka, me) in addition to Brad Mott as copyright
holders for Stella.  I think I've been with the project long
enough now (almost 10 years) to justify being specifically mentioned
above and beyond 'the Stella Team'.

returned.
