Dropping Registry Access

[RadeonUser]

I'm starting a new thread for this because I need one place to keep my thoughts.

apps file will store all registry read/writes done by the main application (Unless something doesn't make sense/is pointed out)

For game settings (such as remembered cheats) these will be in the file similar to the RDS (RDB of old) with the [CRC1-CRC2:CountryCode] setup.
This is where I've started and I've been giving it thought that this might not be the best place to store this... (Within the apps file).
I'm feeling like this could be kept within a "User Settings" file which we have yet to implement.
That's basically stuff that should be kept within the RDS because it makes sense.

Gent -- When you get back I'm going to need some feedback on the changes I've made.
I've started on the cheats first  since you're on vacation and all.

Well okay then, attempt three of posting this!
I keep on falling asleep and forgetting about this 
These will all have an = with the value appended.

[Rom Browser]



Well I've run out of time again 
Hopefully I'll actually get something done this weekend.
I did need to sit down and do this however, since I needed to organize these.

Rom Browser contains all the field information and there's another that's meant to be for the cheat window, pj64's position itself, and... I think some more rom browser stuff.
It isn't much honestly and yes I should have been done by now 

[RadeonUser]

Ugh.
Simply ugh.

Registry dropped for application settings (New file called Project64.apps in Config directory now stores these settings).

Gent pointed out someone found out what was causing Taz Express to not show the appropriate letters.
I must apologize on this but I closed the window on my phone and have lost the link so I cannot give appropriate credit.
Gent, please find that link/name of the person so we can appropriately thank that person for the research/work.
As suggested I will likely end up adding an option to disable these fixes (Ai Shogi 3's as well as Taz Express') for better hack support.

Cheats might work again, sorry about that Gent.
I'm sure you'll let me know!

It's still not at a place where I like but this should work until I get the time to simplify the code.

There's been several tweaks along the way but I've forgotten quite a bit of them...
Thankfully I added comments to my commits so I'll share what's on there! lol

Should work on XP again, that was just an access violation being thrown because I made assumptions.
The cache file (ROC) should always be created/updated after a rom scan. (This was an issue before)
There was an issue writing to files, that's been (hopefully) sorted by now... Let me know.
The last one I see was a fix to stop the application from scanning for roms when exiting.

[RadeonUser]

Ugh, it's still got problems.
I thought I had fixed them all 

By the way Gent:
Transformers Beast Wars... when did it get playable? 
Or has that slow note been wrong for a while?

-Edit-
See if you can get a reliable way to get that to error on writing settings.
It works fine for me at times then not at all...

It has been Playable since 1.6 but sadly was still slow due to low end computer specs at the time.

However it is still slow now using the New default Azi Audio, fluctuating between 39-45-55=40.

Using Jabo 1.6.1 however there are no such slow downs  Curious

His name is loganmc10 the Mupen64Plus Dev and the information was from his GitHub Post here

Adding new cheats still crash

and superb on XP, its working again yay

I don't have a problems with cheats from what I'm seeing...
Make sure the rom browser is fully loaded before you do anything with cheats, that might be an issue.

Provide some steps and I'll try to reproduce but cheat search worked fine as did the right click cheat menu to add a cheat.

Here is a video of it happening below.

All roc and temp files deleted and starting from a fresh new dir.

[RadeonUser]

I'll be honest, didn't look at that video at all and it seems to be throwing a cannot load error so now I don't feel as bad.
Here's your cheats you slave driver 

 

Eagle did it better, you know.

Yes you keep coming at me and ice (Remember the IceMan Carries his Pick!)

OK now adds new cheat no problem, but gives a "Failed to allocate Memory" error on edit and Crashes on Cheat Delete attempt.

See below Video

There was a problem in the way I was reading file data.
This should solve a lot of those cheat problems you're still having Gent.

[RadeonUser]

Wow it's certainly been a while since I made time to work on this.
No new build yet but progress was finally made this month.

[Gent]

hmm I'm trying to see why

the board has an issue

with one space gaps

edit hmmmm

I have updated the board but still has the issue with one line gaps
it has to be Two gaps to be one gap.....
