There's no target with more than one serial driver (and I don't see that change anytime soon) so it's a no-brainer to apply the standard driver concept to serial drivers.
The _textcolor() macro doesn't just turn on the macro optimization. It defines the return value of textcolor() - and that is supposed to be a COLOR_... value.
Use a C "union" to give both read (NMIST) and write (NMIRES) labels
to their shared register in ANTIC. (h/t @groessler).
Consolodate duplicated color definitions (HUE_..., COLOR_... and TGI_COLOR_...;
and the "_gtia_mkcolor()" macro), found in both "atari.h" and "atari5200.h",
moving it to "_gtia.h", which they both share (and which makes the most sense).
Cleaned up comments in Atari 8-bit headers.
Internal keycodes (POKEY's KBCODE) were already #defined in atari.h,
so didn't need a whole new set in _pokey.h.
Relocated register #define'd values outside of the structs,
improved comment format, expanded & corrected some things.
h/t Trevin Beattie (https://user.xmission.com/~trevin/) for the PIA
register descriptions.
There aren't really standard color names (e.g., Compute!'s Mapping the Atari and First Book of Atari Graphics have different names), and exact colors shown depend on the system & device, anyway. Added a note.
So far the joy_masks array allowed several joystick drivers for a single target to each have different joy_read return values. However this meant that every call to joy_read implied an additional joy_masks lookup to post-process the return value.
Given that almost all targets only come with a single joystick driver this seems an inappropriate overhead. Therefore now the target header files contain constants matching the return value of the joy_read of the joystick driver(s) on that target.
If there indeed are several joystick drivers for a single target they must agree on a common return value for joy_read. In some cases this was alredy the case as there's a "natural" return value for joy_read. However a few joystick drivers need to be adjusted. This may cause some overhead inside the driver. But that is for sure smaller than the overhead introduced by the joy_masks lookup before.
!!! ToDo !!!
The following three joystick drivers become broken with this commit and need to be adjusted:
- atrmj8.s
- c64-numpad.s
- vic20-stdjoy.s
- use this function instead of directly looking at _dos_type in the included
targetutil and test programs
- fixes/improvements to the Atari runtime library regarding the recently
changed _dos_type values
- libsrc/atari/targetutil/w2cas.c: exit if no filename was entered
- add documentation for the new function
The target 'atarixl' is to be used for Atari XL (and better) machines.
It will disable the OS ROM and enable the Shadow RAM available on
those machine.
Note: This commit is only the inital step towards for this goal that just
replicates the target 'atari' as a starting point!
As a preparation for the introduction of the 'atarixl' target it is
necessary that all drivers have a base name...
- no longer than 7 characters
