bicarusandGitHub 311404f56b overlay: toast notifications (#704)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Adds toast notifications to the overlay.

Toast notifications are transient windows (shown for about 4 seconds).
These are drawn on top of the game even when the overlay is inactive
(i.e., when no window is open), and does not cause any input sink
behavior.

Add toasts for some common user-driven actions that could use a
notification, such as:

* screenshot
* card insert
* PIN macro
* API client connect/disconnect
* virtual printer
* screen resize toggle / scene switch

Add an option to change where the toasts are displayed, or to turn it
off entirely.

Add SDK function for it, and add it to the samples.

## Testing
Tested DDR (shown at bottom right, as is for most games) and RB (shown
top right by default).

bicarusandGitHub 3c60f3966b rb: more touch options (#699)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Add two options:

1. option to adjust poll rate
2. option to change emulation size

Also, the default configuration is changing from:

* ~1000Hz ish to 120Hz (default)
* 3x3 point to 1x1 point

In theory this does not make a meaningful change to how the game plays.
But if people want the old behavior they can change it.

## Testing
Tested on Volzza2 and Reflesia.

bicarusandGitHub f69e40fa26 gitadora: (arena model) booting fullscreen with one monitor (#696)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#477 

## Description of change
By default the game needs 4 monitors.

With the new option to disable subscreens, you can now boot fullscreen
with a single 4K monitor, with subscreen overlay enabled. Side monitors
are not shown in the overlay; only the touch screen is emulated.

## Future work

- [ ] custom resolution (-forceres) doesn't work properly (hooking
ResetEx does allow the game to boot but will render incorrectly;
probably needs hex edits)
- [x] enable this automatically if the user has fewer than 4 monitors
- [ ] ability to boot with a 4k main screen + small subscreen (with no
side screens which do nothing gameplay wise), but this whole display
emulation is a nightmare to work with & test thoroughly so it'll have to
be in the future.


## Testing
Checklist:

- [x] fs on 1 monitor with option set
- [x] fs on 2 monitor with option set
- [x] windowed - default (4 windows, no overlay)
- [x] windowed - with option set (1 window, overlay)
- [x] fs with 4 monitors?
- [x] check popn hc for regression

bicarusandGitHub e9dcc5717e launcher: option to run as user without elevation (#695)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#694 

## Description of change
Before this change, we have it set in the executable manifest to always
ask for UAC elevation.

This change removes that and instead attempts to prompt for elevation
when we launch, depending on the new developer option that is being
added here to run as current user instead of elevating.

The default behavior continues to run as admin. This is still the safest
in terms of regression risk.

A bit of history on this: while spicecfg never technically needed to
elevate, we continue to do so to avoid difference in behavior when the
game is launched. For example, if the user is using an input remapper
running without elevation, it would inject input into spicecfg running
as user but fail to do so if the game runs elevated.

WinXP builds are unaffected (there is no UAC).

Some features will straight up fail without elevation so this will
remain as a debug option. To name a few (not a complete list):

* reboot/shutdown of PC
* running at realtime process priority
* `-nvprofile` option
* ...

bicarusandGitHub 2014e9cf75 graphics: option to change monitor resolution (#689)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists

## Description of change
Add a new option under `Monitor` group to change the monitor resolution

bicarusandGitHub 33f2e1d4b7 rawinput, touch: attempt to remove touchscreens injecting mouse events (#687)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Fixes #562

## Description of change

### rawinput touch fixes
In rawinput touch handler, if the mouse events (`WM_LBUTTONDOWN`,
`WM_MOUSEMOVE`, `WM_LBUTTONUP`) originated from a touch screen, drop
them on the floor instead of treating them as touch events.

This is an attempt to fix phantom touch issues we see with some screens.

Fix another issue where, if mouse is clicked inside the window, and then
dragged outside the window and button is released, touch point (id 0)
continues to be held.

### wintouchemu fixes
If we detected a touch input recently (500ms), ignore new mouse clicks.
This isn't perfect, but hopefully it helps with filtering out mouse
clicks originating from touch screens.

Also, switch over to detecting the primary mouse button correctly, not
just the left mouse button.

### notes

Future investigation: are there really touchscreens that report a mouse
HID capability & insert mouse events? We could have a way to filter them
at rawinput level but it'll be ugly.

## Testing
Tried jubeat, beatstream..

bicarusandGitHub eb037542b4 jubeat: introduce new algorithm for touch (#686)
## Description of change
There was enough feedback that the current algorithm is not ideal for
most touch screens because most touch screens are not 24". In the
current algorithm touching the gap is no-op, so people think the game is
dropping touches.

This PR introduces a new algorithm that inspect touches on the gap and
triggers the nearest square.

## Testing
Tested landscape and portrait jubeat.

bicarusandGitHub 71ba9b6b47 os: implement win10 high-resolution timer as replacement for Sleep() / sleep_for() (#682)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Fixes #681 

## Description of change
`Sleep` and `sleep_for()` can be very inaccurate and varies depending on
what the OS gives us...

### `timeBeginPeriod(1)`
On boot, we are now calling `timeBeginPeriod(1)`, which affects the
whole process but makes `Sleep` more accurate. There is some risk here
if any game was relying on doing things like `Sleep(1)` and expecting it
to run for 15.6ms. Most games already call `timeBeginPeriod(1)` in the
game engine, though not the whole time, so I'm hoping that this is not
too impactful.

### Opt out of Win11 power throttling
Ensure that timer resolution change above is respected even when the
window is occluded / minimized by opting out of throttling via
`PROCESS_POWER_THROTTLING_IGNORE_TIMER_RESOLUTION`.

### Use Win10 high resolution timer instead of Sleep

On Win10 1803 and above, there is a new OS-level API for high resolution
timers; if this is available, use it
(`CREATE_WAITABLE_TIMER_HIGH_RESOLUTION`). Worth noting that WINE
doesn't support this currently.

If not, fall back to `Sleep`, which is significantly better than
`sleep_for()` in my experiments.

Callers of Sleep / sleep_for were replaced with this new timer. Most of
them anyway; calls to Sleep() with more than 100ms+ was left alone.

### Add an option as a chicken bit

To opt out I'm adding a new option called `Use Legacy Timers` which will
revert to behavior before this PR. The code paths that switched from
`sleep_for` to `Sleep` will remain in place though, not affected by the
option.

## Expected changes
In some I/O emulation modules, poll threads may run more frequently,
resulting in lower latency.

It also means that spice overall may use more CPU resources and power.
If you don't like this, you can always enable the option to opt out;
e.g., if you're on old arcade cab PC.

bicarusandGitHub 1957917270 sdk: update cpp sample for DDR, fix DDR MDXF polling when api/sdk is providing input (#679)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#676 
#452 

## Description of change

When spice SDK or API sets or clears button and analog override, we
don't tell MDXF about it, so it may fall behind. This is a special case
for DDR MDXF I/O emulation. For Naive/Xinput I think we are getting
lucky because they usually also generate WM_INPUT events.

Update the C++ SDK sample to provide more interesting example of
emulating DDR arrows with the keyboard.

bicarusandGitHub cd0ba51b5a sdk: introduce Spice SDK (#676)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Adds a flat-C, headers-only library for writing DLL plugins with spice.

This is meant to be an alternative to writing applications over spice
API which doesn't suit some scenarios like writing custom
high-performance I/O modules.

All you have to do is:

1. Create a 32-bit or 64-bit DLL with `spice_sdk_entry_point` as a
DLLExport
1. Include `spicesdk.h`, and optionally `spicesdk_io.h` (see
`extras\sdk\include`)
1. `spice_sdk_entry_point` will be called when hooks get initialized.
Call `init` with valid parameters.
1. When `init` returns, `SPICE_SDK_V0` will be filled out with a series
of function pointers; your DLL can now start calling into it.
1. Compile your DLL and add it as a DLL hook (`-k`) in spice when
launching the game.

See `v0_cpp.cpp` for an example.

V0 implements the following functions:

```
    log;

    get_game_info;
    get_avs_info;

    get_button;
    set_button;

    get_analog;
    set_analog;

    get_light;
    set_light;

    set_touch;
    clear_touch;

    insert_card;
    set_keypad;
```

V0 is focused on providing common utility functions needed in a lot of
DLL hooks (get AVS info, log messages to file), and implementing I/O.

In the future, we could have more interesting things like:

* scanning and modifying memory 
* installing DLL hooks
* having direct hooks into I/O emulation modules
* getting full tape LEDs
* having a callback into DX9 `Present` call
* drawing an ImGui window

More detailed documentation is coming soon in form of a wiki page.

## Testing
See included sample DLL.

bicarusandGitHub 1f23d88c7a overlay: prevent overlay from queueing up keyboard input while overlay is not visible (#677)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Fixes #675

Yet another regression from #604 

## Description of change
When overlay was hidden (not visible) it was still accepting keyboard
input, so when it became visible again the queued up keystrokes got
processed all at once.

Also, fix a bug with monitor settings update kicking in when in windowed
mode - this really should have been only for full screen.

## Testing

Regression caused by #604, probably

## Description of change
When spicecfg or the game loses focus and regains it, scroll bar jumps
around. This was because we weren't keeping proper track of mouse wheel
position while not in focus, so when we gain it back, it's as if the
scroll bar was moved a huge distance.

## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Re-implements fix for #181 as it was removed by #668

## Description of change
Add two options to add artificial delay to turntable input. These
operate directly on the input logic (`get_tt`) which is called by I/O
emulation code.

Functionally, it's **identical** to the `Delay (experimental)` option we
had in the analog tab, just moved to Options tab.

## Testing

bicarusandGitHub c5a4e954f9 rawinput: remove experimental analog features (delay and relative axis mode) (#668)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Related to #181 

## Description of change
This PR removes two features marked as "experimental" for analog axis -
`Delay` and `Relative Axis`.

They have been in spice as experimental option for almost 2 years.. but
they have a fundamental problem of being tied to how often the analog is
polled. Not just how often the game's I/O emulation code polls it, but
literally any source (spice API, overlay, etc).

For `Delay`, the only real usage I'm aware of is for #181 which is
delaying IIDX turntable input. For this, I will follow up with a
separate PR that adds back the delay option specifically for IIDX.

For `Relative Axis` - I'm not quite sure if any one actually uses this.
This could be implemented per-game if some game demands it. Polaris
Chord already has one, for example.

bicarusandGitHub af8d8dae9f rawinput: distinguish between circular and linear analog input (#665)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Currently, all analogs are treated as circular values that wrap around.
This works for knobs and turntables, but can get weird for linear values
(like tilt sensors and sliders) especially once analog options are
enabled, such as sensitivity.

This PR groups analogs into 3 buckets: circular, linear (centered), and
linear (positive). Linear types get different algorithms applied to it
when options are set (e.g., sensitivity caps out at 0, 1 instead of
wrapping around).

In linear mode:
* Sensitivity value applies an exponential response curve (power curve)
to the original value.
* Multiplier/divisor serves as a linear cut-off.
* Relative mode works as you expect, but of course, values don't wrap
around.
* Invert and deadzone work as you expect (since they applied to the
controller input anyway)
* Smoothing is removed from the UI and has no effect.
* Delay is unaffected.

Also, fix a small bug with -/+ button not working for analog `Delay`
option.

bicarusandGitHub 6bc1357d6a ddr: add support for analog axis-only pads and handle left+right / up+down input (#659)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Some crappy DDR soft mats (either USB-based or console pads with crappy
adapters that lack a dedicated "DDR pad mode") use X and Y analog axis
for arrows, which means they cannot cleanly report Up+Down or Left+Right
input.

According to some ancient Stepmania code, a lot of these report a middle
value (value between center and right, for example, for left+right).
Borrow this hack from Stepmania and implement it in spice as analog
input for DDR.

Also, for rawinput/xinput automatic bind scenario, update the logic so
that face buttons are always detected before analog axis / dpads for
consistency. This would help with binding any DDR pads that
simultaneously input face buttons / dpad / analog axis, so that we can
prefer face buttons when detected.

## Testing
I don't have any soft mats that have this, but it was tested with an
xbox controller.

bicarusandGitHub 678e11eade rawinput: fix up devices that report invalid max values (#658)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
regression caused by #653

## Description of change
Some controllers - like the Xbox One controller I have - reports
0xffffffff as the max range value for analog, despite reporting 16-bit
width. This causes us to consider 0xffffffff as -1 so the range became
[0, -1] which is invalid.

Our automatic calibration does eventually fix this (-1 will fix itself
to become the highest actual value reported, which would be 0xffff).

This seems to be a common issue with XInput-based controllers in
general: see `Correct_Axis_Max` in
https://github.com/argonlefou/DemulShooter/blob/master/DsCore/RawInput/RawInputController.cs

#653 removed the fix that was masking this issue. Put in a new fix that
fixes these up.

bicarusandGitHub 26b3b64794 rawinput, touch: discard invalid touch points from device in hybrid mode (#649)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Fixes #648

## Description of change
Deal with devices in hybrid packet mode that send garbage data in second
packet when it's out of bounds (outside the number of contact points).
MSDN says they're supposed to be (0, 0), but some devices don't follow
the spec.

## Testing
I don't have a device that reports garbage values but this should fix it
in theory.

I tested on my Dell touch monitor which is in hybrid mode & sends 5
touches at a time, but can split across two packets to send up to 10
touches. It sends (0, 0) for the remaining slots when there are 6-9
touch points, but confirmed that there was no regression.

## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#618 

## Description of change
Take the monitor hooks added for IIDX/SDVX #612 and apply it to popn as
well now that popn has a subscreen.

There is a debug option in game that actually uses three monitors, which
can be activated via hex edits. This will prevent that from working.

## Testing
Tested with 3 monitors, fs and windowed.

#618 

## Description of change

bicarusandGitHub 440b9ed749 overlay: fix how input is handled when window loses focus (#632)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#286 

## Description of change
When we migrated to event-based I/O for ImGui, it introduced an issue
where a button would be held down even when the window is not in focus,
because we didn't notify ImGui that the button was released (after the
window lost focus).

Fix the ImGui custom I/O handler so that it immediately releases all
buttons when the window focus is lost.

## Testing
tested on 32-bit windowed mode

Add an option for no subscreen window.

Use the same "force redraw subscreen" logic we used in SDVX to fix the

bicarusandGitHub 45debeb5c9 iidx, sdvx: booting fullscreen with three or more monitors (#612)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#345 

Hoping that #180 is also addressed by this change, but I can't test it.

## Description of change

IIDX (TDJ) and SDVX (Valk) will now be able to boot in full screen even
with 3 or more monitors attached.

spice will "hide" from the game any monitors other than the primary
monitor and one other monitor for subscreen, allowing it to boot without
crashing - accomplished by clearing `DISPLAY_DEVICE_ATTACHED_TO_DESKTOP`
flag when monitors are enumerated over `EnumDisplayDevicesA`, and
fortunately both games seem to respect that flag.

Add options (one for IIDX, another for SDVX) that lets you specify the
monitor ID of the second monitor.

When the option is set, user-specified monitor will be used as the
subscreen. When the option is not set, spice will just pick the
lowest-indexed monitor as the subscreen, not counting the primary one of
course.

## Testing
Tested both games with three monitors. Should probably work for four or
more.

bicarusandGitHub ee3fa58bfa graphics: option to change primary monitor before launching game (#608)
## Description of change

Adds `-mainmonitor` option which changes the monitor layout before
launching the game. This is much more reliable than the old `-monitor`
option which operated at DX9 level. This works for TDJ/UFC subscreens,
for example.

Rename `-monitor` option to `-dx9mainadapter` to discourage use.
`-monitor` will continue to work, of course.

Changing of primary monitor happens first before any orientation changes
/ refresh rate changes, which means those options will result in the
logically correct configuration.

Create a new option category for `Monitor` (rotate, refresh rate, etc).

Add a monitor selection widget for `-mainmonitor` option in the
configurator.

Improve how we log names of monitors in the log during boot - should be
less of "Generic PnP Monitor" after this.

bicarusandGitHub a4c3eddc2f graphics: rewrite auto-rotate and refresh rate options to be more reliable (#607)
## Description of change

Rotate monitor & change the refresh rate **well before** the game is
launched.

This is much faster and more reliable compared to what we do now, which
is trying to do monitor changes during CreateWindow hooks. For example,
SDVX makes a bunch of OS / NVAPI calls to figure out monitor geometry
while it's booting, and by the time CreateWindow is called, the game
already made up its mind, which leads to weird graphical issues.

This affects both windowed mode and full screen.

In addition, add options for normal orientation (landscape) and upside
down (landscape, flipped) options. This can be used if the monitor is
normally rotated to portrait, but the game needs to be in landscape.
