## Description of change
Adds `-apistream`, an optional HTTP video stream of the mirrored screen.
It listens on the API port +2.
Two endpoints, sharing the same `screen`, `fps` and `q` parameters:
/stream.mjpg JPEG frames, for clients with no container support
/stream.h264 H.264 annex-b, for an app driving MediaCodec or
VideoToolbox itself
One encoder per connection, fed by a per-screen pump that always hands
over the newest frame, so a slow reader drops frames instead of building
a backlog. `capture.get_jpg` behaviour is unchanged.

## Description of change
Significantly speeds up API screen capture and D3D9 screenshots saving.
Two reasons for doing this:
1. We now have a 4K game (GITADORA) and existing capture code was taking
multiple seconds.
2. Renewed user interest on streaming as we have a couple more companion
apps in active development.
**API screen capture (streaming), 1280x720:** 14.3ms -> 6.3ms per frame.
Back buffer copies go to pooled `D3DPOOL_SYSTEMMEM` surfaces via
`GetRenderTargetData` instead of allocating a lockable render target
every frame, and TooJpeg is replaced with libjpeg-turbo (encode 9.8ms ->
3.0ms). MSAA remains unsupported
**Screenshots for GITADORA arena model, across 4 screens with one of
them 4K**: 4068ms -> 124ms. `D3DXSaveSurfaceToFileA` is replaced with
fpng (encode 4043ms -> 76ms) and the screens encode in parallel.
Dropping D3DX also removes the `d3dx9_43.dll` ... `d3dx9_24.dll` probing
loop, so screenshots no longer fail outright on machines with no D3DX9
runtime installed.
Screenshot surfaces are read on the present thread, so no D3D call
reaches another thread for screenshots. This fixes a hang in DDR X2
introduced earlier in the branch: its device has no internal locking,
and reading the surface on a pool thread while the present thread sat
inside `GetRenderTargetData` left the game's own render thread
deadlocked.
## Testing
- **GITADORA** (arena model, D3D9Ex, 4K main plus three subscreens,
windowed) with
`-screenshotsub`: three sets of four screenshots, images verified
correct. Completion
order differs between sets, so the screens really are encoding in
parallel.
- **LovePlus** (KLP, plain D3D9, 768x1360): covers the inline path used
by games whose
image processing must not leave the present thread.
- **API screen capture** through a companion app: live video correct
throughout.
- **Print Screen** bound as the screenshot key: the clipboard copy
succeeded on every shot.
- Quitting the game after capturing leaves no `IDirect3DDevice9`
reference count warning,
so the pooled readback surfaces are released along with the device.

## Description of change
Fix mouse and touch API handling for gitadora.
* hook native touch in every arena window mode (previously only using
wintouchemu for 1 windowed mode)
* publish the touch window (SMALL panel, or the main window drawing the
overlay) and only attach injection there
* route touch on the SMALL window straight through instead of the
overlay transform, and accept the mouse only there
* fix spiceapi by forcing 800x1280 touch canvas size
* run API capture before the subscreen present to fix api not showing
sub image
## Testing
Test:
gitadora 1/2/4 windowed mode, fullscreen
iidx /sdvx / popn windowed/fullscreen for regressions

## Description of change
Adds `-screenshotsub`. Off by default. When on, screenshots include the
subscreens. All subscreens are captured, even if they are hidden from
view. Works for all four screens of gitadora arena model as well.
This should also fix an issue with API / companion app not capturing
gitadora subscreen correctly.
Note: only done for DX9... DX11 will need another PR to make this work.
Unrelated to this PR, there seems to be a bug with gitadora not
accepting mouse or api touch input.

Fixed https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/issues/740
## Description of change
- Enable native D3D9 adapter-group dual fullscreen for the GITADORA
Arena model when the two-screen MAIN + SMALL configuration is selected
without windowed mode.
- Present MAIN and SMALL on their respective monitor heads while keeping
the invisible LEFT and RIGHT targets offscreen.
- Scope the new fake-swap-chain query behavior to the hidden GITADORA
two-head targets, preserving existing behavior for other games and
configurations.
The existing borderless-windowed two-screen path could not consistently
keep input and game timing synchronized and also reduced rendering
performance. Native dual fullscreen avoids that windowed composition
path.
## Testing
- Manually tested GITADORA Arena with separate MAIN and SMALL monitors
in fullscreen mode. Windowed mode still works if the user chooses to use
that.
- Confirmed both displays render correctly, touch input works on the
SMALL screen, gameplay input stays synchronized, and gameplay holds a
steady 60 FPS.
- Built `spicetools_spice64` at commit `e4a98e9` with the repository
Docker toolchain.
- Confirmed no new compiler warnings.
- Confirmed the forbidden static DLL import check passes.
- Confirmed the Windows 7 DLL compatibility check reports `All DLLs
OK!`.

## Description of change
Sometimes the game moved the main window after `CreateWindowExA`
returned but before D3D initialization called
`graphics_capture_initial_window`. During this gap,
`GRAPHICS_HOOKED_WINDOW` was not set, so the placement hooks could not
identify the main window and preserve its monitor override. GITADORA
main, LEFT, and RIGHT windows are now registered immediately after
creation so later placement calls cannot undo their overrides.
This also adds `-gdwsmallsize` and `-gdwsmallpos` for explicitly setting
the SMALL window size and position. Explicit values override the
corresponding monitor-derived geometry, allowing the SMALL window's
10:16 aspect ratio to be preserved instead of stretching it to fill a
monitor.

## Description of change
Add a new option under `Monitor` group to change the monitor resolution
before booting the game, very similar to how orientation / refresh rate
options work.
This would be useful for games like Polaris Chord that boots at current
resolution but manages to have graphical issues when not in 1080p.

## Description of change
This adds a toggleable option to remove the rounded window corners when
running a game, or a subscreen, in a window on Windows 11 and upwards.
## Testing
On Windows 11: Resort Anthem, MÚSECA and EPOLIS were tested and the
window corners were removed from both main windows and the TDJ subscreen
when running in windowed mode, with no change in fullscreen mode.
On Windows 7: IIDX18 was tested with no change, the call to
`DwmSetWindowAttribute` is ignored as `DWMWA_WINDOW_CORNER_PREFERENCE`
doesn't exist.
For XP builds, the call is compiled out to avoid linking against dwmapi
and windows_dll_compat_checker returns successfully when testing against
the XP Embedded image. I can't test it on XP, but it ran on Vista.

## Description of change
Before calling `CreateWindowEx[A/W]`, check dimensions of the window
about to be created, and check if it will be out of bounds (completely

If it's completely out of bounds, move it to `(0, 0)` to prevent crashes
or rendering issues.

tbd... i/o doesn't work right now but it launches two windows at

## 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.
## 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.

## Description of change
Gitadora (pre-Delta) tends to soft lock, have graphical issues (menu bg
render as black), or take a long time (minutes) between scene
transitions when window is resized.
## Description of change
Add an option that forces requested refresh rate value for the second
monitor; i.e., instead of 60Hz allow the user to override the adapter to
be 70Hz.
Useful for people who have a touch screen that can't do 60Hz.
I don't know if this would cause any timing issues in IIDX or SDVX, but
it seems to boot and monitor check is unaffected.
## Testing
Tested TDJ And UFC mode with a submonitor that can only do 61Hz.

Fixes#276
## Description of change
Note: this change is not compatible with previous screen resize config;
i.e., if you had the zoom setting dialed into a certain view, after this
change it won't be the same area, so you'll have to set up a scene
again. I think this is a worthwhile cost since the old logic is just
broken in weird ways, and preserving old settings is really tedious math
(for a feature that not many people use). Besides, this change will only
use the new Scenes values from the JSON.
Rewrite the DX9 image scaler logic.
* Previously, the rendering surface was fixed at `4096*4096 px`. Now,
this is relative to the backbuffer dimensions, which depends on the game
& respects user provided `-forceres`.
* Remove "center" option, make it the default.
Above two changes fix the aspect ratio issue (scaling in portrait games
not respecting screen ratio) and things breaking at higher res (1080p
when zoomed out far enough, or when forced to run at 4k resolution for
example)
* Use `scenes` leaf of screen resize JSON config for Scene 1 as well,
completely removing ourselves from being compatible with older spice2x
versions for these values.
* Add additional bounds check before calling `StretchRect` to avoid
users getting stuck with a bad layout, which can kill performance.

## Description of change
Add `SDVX Landscape Mode` option, allowing you to play SDVX in landscape
monitor orientation, with black borders on left and right - similar to
how EAC does it. This is meant to be an alternative to what people do
today, which is launching in windowed mode.
By default, with just `-sdvxlandscape` enabled, EG will launch at
1920x1080 (transposed from the original 1080x1920 resolution).
It is possible to combine with `-forceres` to launch at higher
resolutions. At some point though, when rendering at large resolutions
past 1440p, at some point scaling may break due to #276.
Disabled on 32-bit SDVX since dx9 `CreateDeviceEx` call is required;
`CreateDevice` won't work. For the same reason this isn't being made a
generic option for museca/rb/etc. In theory you can supply
`-sdvxlandscape` to games like IIDX and play landscape games in portrait
mode, although again, scaling my break due to #276.
Also, add new options (bottomleft/right) for subscreen overlay position
so that they don't overlap with the main screen in landscape mode.

## Compiling
🔺
## Testing
Seems to be showing similar results as -windowscale:
* Works GREAT for IIDX/SDVX
* popn launches at correct resolution but only draws a small image (at
native res) - can be scaled with F11 menu
* nostalgia is broken in weird ways, image is drawn correctly but bottom
`credits` text draws at wrong offset, game's wintouch logic broken
(perhaps expectedly)
## Other notes
In theory this could enable "play sdvx in landscape mode" option but the
image scaling doesn't quite work with extreme values.
