## Description of change
To redirect confused users why no one is developing a remote patch
server for PolCho
## Testing
checked spicecfg in working vs non-working games

Fixes#393
## Description of change
- Fixes compatibility with IIDX 33
- Adjusts the pattern scan for "hook A" to be compatible with IIDX 27
- Refactors texture replacement to use Camera::CCameraManager2, removing
the need for a second hook
Related: https://github.com/aixxe/2dxcamhook/compare/0.4.0.0...0.5.0.0
## Testing
Booted with `-iidxcamhook` on IIDX 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 & 33
Confirmed both cameras were visible in I/O test, music select settings &
gameplay

## Description of change
For HID device descriptor, use the "W" version of Windows API, and make
sure UTF-8 is being used throughout since that's the only format IMGUI
supports.
Before this change, non-Latin characters would have shown up as `HID ???
?????` for a mouse, for example.
Due to the way ImGui loads fonts, only the following languages are
supported:
* Simplified Chinese
* Cyrillic
* Japanese
* Korean
* Thai
* Vietnamese
## Testing
Tested various combination of Windows UI language and non-Unicode
language.
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
user-reported
## Description of change
When the system non-Unicode language is not set to Japanese, TDJ
subscreen katakana keyboard was broken (weird behavior with characters
not erasing, ending with corrupt characters, etc)
To fix this, add a hook for `IsDBCSLeadByte`. `IsDBCSLeadByte` assumes
system ACP (which may not be SHIFT_JIS). Instead, redirect bm2dx.dll to
use `IsDBCSLeadByteEx` instead with SHIFT_JIS explicitly specified as a
parameter.
Presumably the game was using IsDBCSLeadByte to manage the keyboard
typing logic.... which is weird because SDVX doesn't do the same.
## Testing
Tested iidx 31 and tried to do searches.

## Description of change
They moved some DLLs around so MFC wasn't being auto-detected, and I/O
hooks were not being performed. Fix that.
## Testing
The game boots into test menu, some i/o works, touch doesn't, not
playable yet.

## Description of change
Add a "Linux" variant of spicecfg/spice/spice64.exe - currently these
are the same as Windows binaries but built without dependency on
WinSCard, which makes it easier to run on WINE.
Split dist archive into two, move api and extras into the new extras
zip.
## Testing
I only checked to see that Linux variants run fine on Windows, and
checked with dumpbin to confirm that the dependency on winscard DLL is
removed. No official support will be provided for Linux builds.

## Description of change
The original launcher::detect_bootstrap_release_code() wasn't detecting
user specified bootstrap.xml path, and was causing issues for
patch_manager and other ext check spots prior to ea3 init (as ea3 does
proper path check itself).
I've added the user path check and proper xml parsing from
detect_gameversion().
## Testing
Tested with prop/bootstrap.xml presents.
Tested with prop/bootstrap.xml not presents and -b
/path/to/bootstrap.xml
## Description of change
Detect and log troubleshooter messages for:
* (early) hook DLL load failure
* data_mods folder without ifs_hook.dll
* spice version (print out current version and add a link to github
download)

## Description of change
iidx: 9on12 crashes iidx31+
popn: special message for createdevice failures (resolution issue)
## Testing
manually test both cases
## Description of change
Finally figured out where the deadlock was coming from - it's because
the `dump_to_logger` was writing `SuperstepSound: Audio device is not
available` to the logger which calls back into the log hook, and then
emits another deferred message, trying to acquire the lock again on the
same stack.
## Testing
Tested the superstep sound failure case again.
## Description of change
Various fixes to deferred logger -
* Rename to "auto troubleshooter"
* Fix potential deadlock
* Reword the error messages to fit in a narrower column

[#390 ](https://github.com/spice2x/spice2x.github.io/pull/390)

component at any time, so accessing the vector needs to be guarded.

## Description of change
Instead of setting flags in `signal` and logging when we crash, create a
class for logging deferred semi-fatal messages, and dump them to the log
immediately before crashing or shutting down.

## Description of change
Show a block of warning text if the game crashes after CreateDevice(Ex)
fails.
## Testing
Tested by injecting invalid resolution into spicecfg.
## Description of change
When the game library fails to load, recursively iterate its import
table to narrow down the missing library.
If the dependency is a commonly missing one, give the user a hint on
where to find it.
