VisualBoyAdvance-M [SVN build 878] - 模擬器

http://an.to/?vbam


* Similar changes as the last compile
* I fixed the DirectSound initialization as well as possibly other issues.
* I left this unencrypted/uncompressed since I know laterza and co. will
plagarise this and commit more GPL violations. So, I don′t care. And I am
still waiting on thier encryptor which is supposed to be better than
EXECryptor and Themida combined (to the laypeople, those 2 commercial EXE
protectors are like Securom/Tages in strength in your games).

Anyway, there′s the compile. Sorry it took so long.

Optional Filters

==============
To Do List
==============
Important:
- Many games show emulation warnings in the log window (unaligned read, bad
read/write address)
- Test: Metroid Fusion, Advance Wars 2

- Gfx.cpp/h optimization
- Test: Final Fantasy 4 airship intro

- Improve automatic 64k/128k flash save detection
- Pokémon Emerald hangs with white screen when no save state exists and
wrong flash size is selected

- Remove 16 bit hack for filters
- Not compatible to software motion blur (display corruption)

- Add selection for compressed archives with more than one ROM in them

- Fix LCD colouring

- Game Bugs:
- Drymouth - screen flashes black after certain scanline
- World Reborn - 2 graphics bugs


Less important:
- Add GBA cheat editing support (GB already has)
- Look at Cheats.cpp (Core) and GBACheats.cpp (GUI)

- Add documentation for VBA-M (configuration guide)

- Improve AVI recording (produces asynchronous files)

- Enable audio stream compression for AVI files

- Add stereo upmixing support to OpenAL

- Verify BIOS files by checksum instead by file extension

- Merge HQ2x/LQ2x C code into code for HQ3x/4x

- Apply pixel filter to sprites and BG seperately for better image quality


Performance:
- Apply HQ3x/4x optimizations from C version to ASM version

- Apply pixel filter only to changed parts of the image

- Make even more use of multi-core CPUs

- Make use of 64 bit CPUs

- Have a look at the liboil optimization library
- http://liboil.freedesktop.org/wiki/


==========
Known Bugs
==========
- Linking: Doesnt work quite right yet.

- Audio core: assertation error occurs when disabling sound in GB mode
- I think its best we mute sound instead, since some games rely on audio for
timing.
Plus, blargg′s GB_Snd_Emu is extremely optimized stuff. (Mudlord)
- blargg′s core implementation broke Dwedit′s GBC emu.

- Wrong bit depth image is displayed for 2 frames when switching from/to
HQ3x/4x ASM
- This is caused by the 16bit hack which does not re-process the emulated
image.
It results in the display devices treating the image at pix with the wrong
bit depth.
