\begin_layout Section
Getting started
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Prerequisites
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
To get started, you need BIOS image, VGABIOS image and DOS boot floppy and
 JDK for Java 6 standard edition (later versions should they appear should
 also work).
 Note: JRE is not enough.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Note that to play back recorded movies, you need exact same version of BIOS
 image, VGABIOS image and DOS boot floppy as was used when making the movie
 (in addition to exact same versions of other needed media).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
See compile.sh.
 The stuff in streamtools is only needed for recording videos.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Compiling
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
See compile.sh.
 The streamtools stuff is only needed for dumping videos.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Getting started
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
First you need to get and make some important images.
 Obtain BIOS image, VGABIOS image and DOS boot floppy from somewhere and
 do:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
mkdir library
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
java ImageMaker --BIOS library/BIOS <bios image file>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
java ImageMaker --BIOS library/VGABIOS <vgabios image file>
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
java ImageMaker --floppy1440 library/DOSfloppy <dos floppy name>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This makes loadable images out of what you obtained.
 Most DOS boot floppies are 1440KiB in size (if yours isn't change that
 floppy1440 part).
 You also might want to make some game images:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
java ImageMaker --HDD=128,63,16 library/somegame <game installation directory>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This makes ~128MB HDD image out of installation directory.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Running emulator
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
There is premade autoexec script called assemble.bat that has fairly reasonable
 defaults.
 To use it:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
java JPCApplication -library library -autoexec assemble.bat
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

-library library
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 specifies that contents of directory 'library' are to be used as library.
 The script pops up settings for new emulated PC (if you want to load savestate,
 click cancel).
 Select BIOS and VGABIOS for BIOS and VGABIOS image (they should be already
 selected), DOSfloppy for fda (boot device should be set to fda) and game
 image as some HD drive 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Bootup tips
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Putting the game as hdd causes boot to be bit faster.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Some BIOS versions have 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

press F12 to select boot device
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

.
 Hit <enter> from emulated keyboard and that prompt will go away in about
 half emulated second (it stays several emulated seconds otherwise).
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
If game doesn't need lots of memory, hitting F5 to skip intialization files
 is fastest.
 If it does need more memory, run config.sys commands but not autoexec.bat.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Some DOS disks have DOSIDLE with them, don't use it as it messes badly with
 emulator.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Making JPC-RR format images from raw images
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Due to various factors, JPC-RR can't use raw image files directly but requires
 its own image format.
 There is tool called ImageMaker that can make JPC-RR images from raw images.
 Each image has format, ID an name.
 Format and name are specified when making image.
 ID is automatically calculated from format and contents.
 Name does not affect the ID but is purely for convience so one doesn't
 have to specify long image IDs manually.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Syntax
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The syntax for ImageMaker when making images is:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
$ java ImageMaker <format> [<options>...] <destination> <source> <name>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
<destination> is file name for JPC-RR format image to write.
 <source> is either name of regular file (raw image file) or name of directory
 tree with files (supported for making floppy or hard disk images only).
 In case of directory tree, the files are layout deterministically to disk,
 so the ID will always be the same for given geometry and type.
 <name> is name to give to disk.
 <format> is one of:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
--BIOS BIOS image (note: VGABIOS is also of this type).
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
--CDROM CD-ROM image.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code

\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Notes
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
If making image from directory, the names of the files must conform to FAT
 naming restrictions (8+3 character names, no spaces, etc).
 Avoid filenames with non-ASCII characters.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
The DOS limit of 112 or 224 files for floppies does not apply to images
 created from directory trees.
 The minimum limit value used is 512.
 If even that isn't enough, the limit is automatically increased to fit
 all the needed directory entries.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Making boot disks from tree does NOT work.
 Even if you got system boot files there, it still won't work.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Only floppy disks and hard drives can be made from directory trees.
 BIOS images and CDROM images require image file.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Avoid floppies with custom geometry (floppy geometry does affect disk ID).
 Disks with over 63 sectors per track don't work with DOS.
 Wheither disks with over 127 tracks per side work with DOS is unknown.
 Also avoid 1024-tracks per side HDDs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
The geometry limits are: 2-1024 tracks per side for HDD, 1-256 tracks per
 side for floppy.
 1-63 sectors per track for HDD, 1-255 sectors per track for floppy.
 1-16 sides for HDD, 1 or 2 sides for floppy.
 This gives size limit of 65280KiB for floppy disks (but note the DOS limit!)
 and 516096KiB for HDDs.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
There are multiple image file contents that represent the same image.
 The one with smallest size is picked when creating image.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Note: Although the IDs are 128 bits long, they are not MD5 hashes.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Other options
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
--volumelabel=label Give specified volume label (affects ID).
 Only meaningful when making image out of directory tree.
 Default is no volume label.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
--timestamp=YYYYMMDDHHMMSS Give specified timestamp for files (affects ID).
 Only meaningful when making image out of directory tree.
 The default timestamp is 19900101T000000Z.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Image information
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
When invoked as:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
$ java ImageMaker <imagefile>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Variety of information about image is displayed (especially for floppies/HDDs).
 Two important fields are calculated and claimed disk ID.
 They should be the same.
 If they are not, then the image file is corrupt (sadly, imagemaker has
 bugs and bugs that cause it to write corrupt images have been seen).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Advanced: The disk ID algorithm
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The disk ID is calculated as:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
Skein-256-128-deprecated(<typecode>|<geometry>|<image>)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Where Skein-256-128-deprecated is Skein hash function with 256-bit internal
 state and 128-bit output using the deprecated rotation constants (as specified
 in Skein hash function reference documentation versions 1.0 and 1.1).
 The <image> is the whole image, including parts not stored in image file.
 The reason for keeping using the deprecated constants are:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Changing the constants would change the IDs, which would invalidate existing
 images
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
This is not about cryptographic security
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
The new constants don't improve security that much anyway.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Floppies and HDDs
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Floppies have <typecode> value 0 (single byte) and HDDs have 1 (single byte).
 <geometry> is as follows (this is exactly the same form as it appears in
 image header):
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
Byte 0 bits 0-1: Bits 8-9 of track count per side - 1.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
Byte 0 bits 2-5: Head count - 1.

 0 for floppies, 1 for HDDs, 2 for CD-ROMs and 3 for BIOS images.
 Other values are reserved.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Comment length
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Disk comment length is given as two-byte big-endian value.
 New images should have 0 here.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Disk coment
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Ignored.
 Comment field is there for backward compatiblity.
 Comment length gives length of this field in bytes.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Type-specific geometry/size data (floppies and HDDs)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Floppies and HDDs have 3-byte geometry data:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
Byte 0 bits 0-1: Bits 8-9 of track count per side - 1.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
Byte 0 bits 2-5: Head count - 1.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Type specific-geometry/size data (BIOS images)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Actual image data (floppy/HDD)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Floppy or HDD imagedata consists of following subparts:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Storage method
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Sectors present
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Image data header
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Image data
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Storage method is single byte.
 Sectors present gives number of last nonzero sector + 1 (zero if image
 is all zeroes)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Floppy/HDD storage method 0: Raw storage
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This storage method has empty header.
 Image data is raw dump of first sectors present sectors.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Floppy/HDD storage method 1: Sectormap
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Image data header contains bitfield with just enough bytes to have one bit
 per present sector.
 The order of bits is such that number of bit corresponding to each sector
 in byte is sector number modulo 8 and byte number is floor of sector number
 divided by 8 when sector numbers are counted from zero.
 If bit corresponding to sector is set, then the sector is present in image
 data, otherwise it is absent and assumed to be all-zeroes.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Image data contains dumps of all present sectors in order of increasing
 sector number.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Floppy/HDD storage method 2: Extent first sector zero
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Image data is empty as storage-specific data is mangled with image data.
 The image data alternates between blocks encoding zero sectors and blocks
 encoding nonzero sectors.
 The first block encodes zero sectors.
 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Block encoding zero sectors consist of single 1-4 byte little-endian value
 encoding number of sectors in block - 1.
 Number of bytes is determined by sectors present value.
 It is 1 for 1-256 sectors, 2 for 257-65536, 3 for 65537-16777216 and 4
 for more than 16777216.
 All sectors in block are filled with zeroes and are not stored.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Block encoding nonzero sectors has same block count as zero sector block
 but is followed by the sectors stored raw.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Floppy/HDD storage method 3: Extent first sector nonzero
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Same as storage method 2 but first block is nonzero sector block.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Actual image data (CD-ROMs and BIOS images)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
These store image data raw.
 The amount of data is specified by sector/byte count.

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Reads RAW video data from <input> (may be named pipe) and dumps PNG frames
 received as '<outputprefix><runningcount>.png'.
 Also saves '<outputprefix>.timing' which contains frame timing data (each
 line consists of time in nanoseconds, space, and filename).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
The actual emulator
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The actual emulator is invoked as:
\end_layout

 (can only be specified once).
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
-autoexec <script> Execute contents of specified file as commands when starting
 up.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection

\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
'exit': exit immediately
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
'load <plugin>': Load plugin (no arguments)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
'load <plugin>(<arguments>)': load plugin with arguments.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
'command <command> [<arguments>...]': Invoke command via external command interface.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
When one gets command line, its useful to load some plugins.
 See section about plugins.
 Note: Load runner plugin (PCControl/PCRunner and so) last, as some runners
 like to start PC immediately.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
PC settings dialog notes
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
CPU divider base frequency before division is 1GHz.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Images can be specified by name or by ID.
 Name is relative to library directory.
 If the image is in subdirectory of image directory, the directory separator
 is is '/' regardless of what the host OS uses.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
CD-ROM and hdc are mutually exclusive
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Modules is comma-seperated list of modules to load.
 To pass arguments to some modules, enclose the arguments in ().
 Same module can be specified twice only if parameters differ.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
FPU emulator is specified by class name.
 If core has built-in FPU emulator, then this should be left blank.
 Without core-builtin FPU emulator, blank value means 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Setting boot device doesn't work with some BIOS versions.
 Those versions prompt the boot device anyway.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Audio output channels
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
PC can have one or more audio output channels.
 The name of audio output associated with PC speaker is: 'org.jpc.emulator.peripher
al.PCSpeaker-0'.
 Modules that have audio outputs get channel names of form <classname>-<sequenti
al>, where <classname> is name of main module class and sequential is number
 starting from zero.
 Note that same module can have multiple output channels.
 If multiple modules of same class request audio outputs, the <sequential>
 values of subsequent module start where previous left off.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Plugins
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Plugins actually execute the tasks of the emulator.
 They can be loaded using 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

load <plugin>
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 or 'load <plugin>(<arguments>)
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 from command line.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Different Plugins using the same output (like running PCMonitor and PNGDumper)
 should not conflict because connector output hold locking is desinged to
 handle multiple readers.
\end_layout

\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Dumps all generated frames to RAW file <file>.
 Rawoutput is required.
 The raw file consists of concatenation of zlib streams.
 The uncompressed stream is concatenation of time skips (FFh FFh FFh FFh),
 each acting as time offset of 2^32-1 nanoseconds and saved frames.
 The saved frame has time offset in nanoseconds (big endian) as first four
 bytes (must be at most 2^32-2, as 2^32-1 is reserved for time skip).
 The next two bytes are big-endian width, next two big-endian height.
 Finally frame has 4 * width * height bytes of data that encodes pixels
 using 4 bytes per pixel, in left-to-right, up-to-down order.
 Byte 0 of each pixel is reserved, byte 1 is the red channel, byte 2 is
 green channel and byte 3 is blue channel.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Dumping to pipe is supported.

plugin: org.jpc.plugins.RAWAudioDumper
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Takes 'src=<name of audio output channel>', 'file=<output-filename>' and
 'offset=<offset>' as arguments, separated by ','.
 Does not require nor use GUI.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Dumps output from specified audio output channel (src, mandatory) to RAW-format
 file (file, mandatory).
 The resulting file consists of records, 4 or 8 bytes each.
 4 byte record consists of 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF 0xFF and means to increase next
 time delta by 
\begin_inset Formula $2^{32}-1$
\end_inset

ns.
 Otherwise record is 8 bytes.
 Each 8 byte record has three fields.
 First 4 byte unsinged big endian timedelta value (in nanoseconds, must
 be smaller than 
\begin_inset Formula $2^{32}-1$
\end_inset

), then 2 byte signed big endian new left channel volume, then 2 byte signed
 big endian new right channel volume.
 Optionally 'offset' can be set to positive value (in nanoseconds) to delay
 the audio by.

\end_inset

.
 Try this if game startup hangs with lots of trying to use FPU but not present
 errors.
 Don't use if there is FPU present.
 Needed to get games like Blake Stone to work (FPU emulator allows it to
 start but causes graphical glitches).

\begin_layout Subsection
Line component encoing
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Line component encoding sits on top of UTF-8 encoding.
 Line component encoding encodes non-empty 1-D array of non-empty strings
 into line, and thus array of those into member.
 Empty lines or lines that don't contain any components are ignored.
 Line starts with depth value of 0 and must end with depth value of zero.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Components are seperated by component separators.
 Empty components are ignored.
 Following codepoints are separators on depth 0 if not escaped:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Codepoint of '('.
 The depth is read pre-increment.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Codepoint of ')'.
 The depth is read post-decrement.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Any SPACE character
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The following characters are special:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
'('.
 Increments depth by 1 if not escaped (and appears in component).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
')'.
 Decrements depth by 1 if not escaped (and appears in component).
 Depth going negative is an error.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
'
\backslash
'.
 Next character is interpretted as literal.
 Error if at end of line.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Otherwise, characters are interpretted as literals and appear in components.
 Depth must be zero at end of line.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Header section:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Header section is in archive member "header".
 It uses line component encoding.
 The first component of each line is name of header, and subsequent ones
 are arguments.
 How many parameters are expected is dependent on what header it is:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
PROJECTID header:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Header name: "PROJECTID"
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Components: 2
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Argument #1: <project-id-string>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Mandatory: Yes
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Gives project ID.
 Project ID is generated when PC is assembled and is then preserved in save
 states.
 It is used for computing rerecord counts.
 Emulator treats it as opaque string, the IDs it generates are formed by
 48 random hexadecimal digits.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
SAVESTATEID header:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Header name: "SAVESTATEID"
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Components: 2
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Argument #1: <savestate-id-string>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Mandatory: No
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Gives save state ID.
 Each save state has its own save state ID.
 Treated as opaque string, but generated as 48 random hexadecimal digits.
 The presence of this header signals whether there is save state to be loaded.
 If this header is present, save state load will be attempted.
 If absent, save state is not to be loaded even if present (and correct
 savestate load would be technically impossible anyway).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The value is used to prevent loading incompatible save states in preserve
 event stream mode and also to find the point in event stream where one
 left off.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
RERECORDS header:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Header name: "RERECORDS"
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Components: 2
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Argument #1: <rerecords>
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Mandatory: Yes
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Gives rerecord count.
 PC assembly (except when loading save state) initializes current rerecord
 count to zero.
 Must be non-negative and decimal number using ASCII digit characters.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
On loading save state:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
1) If project ID matches with previous:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
1a) If loaded rerecord count is larger or equal to current rerecord count:
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
1a-a) Current rerecord count is loaded rerecord count + 1.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
1b) Otherwise
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
1b-a) Current rerecord count increments by 1.
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
2) Otherwise
\end_layout

\begin_layout LyX-Code
2a) Current rerecord count is loaded rerecord count + 1.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The current rerecord count at time of save is saved to save state.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
AUTHORS header:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Header name: "AUTHORS"
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Components: 2 or more
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Arguments: free form
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Mandatory: No
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Gives authors of run.
 Each argument gives one author.
 May be present multiple times.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
COMMENT header:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Header name: "COMMENT"
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Components: 2 or more
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Arguments: free form
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Mandatory: No
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Various kinds of free form data.
 Not parsed further by emulator.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Initialization segment:
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If SAVESTATEID header isn't present (not a save state), member "initialization"
 gives PC initialization parameters for assembling the PC.
 It is present anyway even if SAVESTATEID is present (savestate).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard

 Non-static inner classes can not be dumpable (make them static using tricks
 similar to what javac uses).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
If dumped class has dumpable superclass, the first thing dumping function
 needs to do is to call dumper function of superclass and first thing loading
 constructor needs to do is to call loading constructor of superclass.
 If class has no dumpable superclass, dumper doesn't need to do anything
 special, while loader needs to call objectCreated(this) on SRLoader object
 passed as parameter.
 
\end_layout

Aside of the constructors, modules need to obey the ordinary conventions
 for hardware components.
 No code outside modules needs to know that module exists.

\begin_layout Section
Writing plugins
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Plugins handle various UI tasks.
 They need to implement interface org.jpc.Plugin.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Interface org.jpc.pluginsbase.Plugin
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method systemShutdown()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called when emulator shuts down.
 Either called in dedicated thread or in thread that called emulatorShutdown().
 These handlers should do the bare minimum to get files on disk to consistent
 state.
 After these calls from all plugins have finished, emulator exits.
 Do not try to manipulate UI from these methods, as doing that easily leads
 into deadlock.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method reconnect(PC) 
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Gives new PC to connect to.
 Null is passed if plugin should disconnect.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method main()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called in dedicated thread after plugin is initialized.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method pcStopping()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called after PC has stopped.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method pcStarting()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Called before PC starts.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method notifyArguments(String[])
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Pass arguments from command line.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Constructor <init>(Plugins)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This constructor is used to initialize plugins that don't take parameters.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Constructor <init>(Plugins, String)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This constructor is used to initialize plugins that take parameters.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Class org.jpc.pluginsbase.Plugins
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
This class provodes various methods for manipulating plugins.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method isShuttingDown()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Returns true if Plugins.shutdownEmulator() has been called somehow, either
 via VM exit, CTRL+C or explicitly.
 Useful to skip cleanups involving GUI, as these are too deadlock-prone.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method shutdownEmulator()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Shut down and exit the emulator.
 All plugin shutdown functions are called in this thread.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method reconnectPC(PC)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Signal reconnectPC event to all plugins.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method pcStarted()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Signal pcStarting() event to all plugins.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method pcStopped()
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Signal pcStopping() event to all plugins.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsection
Interface org.jpc.pluginsbase.ExternalCommandInterface
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Implementing interface org.jpc.pluginsbase.ExternalCommandInterface signals
 that plugin can receive commands via external commands interface.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Subsubsection
Method invokeCommand(String cmd, String[] args)
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Invoke specified command using specified arguments.
 Return true if event is to be shallowed, false to continue trying to pass
 it to more plugins.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Section
Lua kernel programming
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
At startup, kernel gets its arguments in 'args' table and the script name
 to run in 'scriptname' string.
 It should enter the named script in protected mode.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The Lua VM exports numerious callbacks to kernel.
 The kernel can then choose to omit, wrap or re-export these to Lua scripts.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Always grab any functions used into local variables so nobody can mess with
 them
\end_layout

\begin_layout Itemize
Don't use global variables in kernel (except for those passed).
