It should not happen since the magic value and version would normally
discard incompatible savestates, however it's preferrable to check
before loading the state (it's just some minor sanity check).
This rewrites the way that CPU alerts work, making them a bitmap (since
multiple alerts can happen simultaneously, like SMC and IRQ). This
doesn't really fix many games but improves accuracy overall and improves
performance on some I/O writes (the ones without side effects).
The IRQ raising is now decoupled and explicitely called via a new
function (check_and_raise_interrupts) to avoid issues such as invalid
CPSR values (doesn't seem to bother most games!). There's more side
effects missing, so this just lays the ground for more fixes.
This uses BSON as savestate format, to allow external tools to parse it
(so that we can add proper test of the states). The BSON is not 100%
correct according to spec (no ordered keys) but can be parsed by most
libraries.
This fixes also a bug in the savestate palette color recalculation that
was wrongly overwritting the original palette (which could cause some
problems on some games).
Also fixes some potential issues by serializing some more stuff and
cleans up unused stuff.
Testing shows that states look good and there's only minor differences
in audio ticks, related to buffer sizes (since buffer flushes are
de-synced from video frames due to different frequency).
This patch adds big-endian compatibility in gpsp (in general but only
for the interpreter). There's no performance hit for little-endian
platforms (should be a no-op) and only add a small overhead in memory
accesses for big-endian platforms.
Most memory accesses are wrapped with a byteswap instruction and I/O reg
accesses are also rewired for proper access (using macros). Video
rendering has been fixed to also do byteswaps but there's a couple of
games and rendering modes that still seem broken (but they amount to
less than 20 games in my tests with 1K ROMs).
This also adds build rules and CI for NGC/WII/WIIU (untested)
