#747
## Description of change
The old approach called ImGui’s `SetScrollHereY()` while the options
list was still being laid out. That caused one-frame scroll corrections
and edge-snap jitter near scroll boundaries.
The new approach in `build_options_tab()`:
1. **On click** - set a flag (`options_scroll_pending` for categories,
`options_scroll_top` for group headers).
2. **During layout** - when building the target category, record its
content position with `GetCursorPosY()` (don’t scroll yet).
3. **After all options are built** - apply scroll once by setting
`window->Scroll.y` directly, and only if the position actually needs to
change (0.5px threshold).
That deferred, single-pass scroll avoids the shake while still
supporting scroll-up, scroll-down, and re-click-to-recenter.
## Testing
In spicecfg.exe and in-game overlay, Options tab:
Open groups with many categories
Scroll content down manually, then click a higher category in the left
nav - content scrolls up to that section
Re-click the same category after manual scroll - jumps back without
shake
Rapid re-clicks when already aligned - no jitter
Switch group headers - still scrolls to top; re-click at top - no shake

## Description of change
Generated cards now start with E0040100 to fully match real cards. The
placeholder example `E004010000000000` is replaced with
`E0040100FFFFFFFF`.
The invalid placeholder/fallback PCBID `04040000000000000000` is
replaced with `01201000000000010101`, which contains a valid
header/checksum, making it closer resemble a real PCBID while still
clearly being an example.

## Description of change
Create three distinct layers for the overlay:
1. Bottommost persistent layer - non-interactable layer that is always
on. This was only for notifications, but now the FPS widget lives here
as well.
2. Overlay windows layer - most interactable windows go here.
3. Topmost main menu - this is reserved for the main menu (escape key)
and this is a modal dialog that occludes the layers below.
Why?
- `toggle overlay` behavior with FPS widget *also* toggling on/off was a
bit confusing (now they're two separate keys)
- FPS widget is popular, but it caused the entire overlay to be active,
which affects how input is handled
- the main menu being a standalone window was a little awkward (now it's
a modal)

## Description of change
spicecfg is a 32-bit application. When it uses the ASIO SDK it only saw
the 32-bit drivers.
There are some ASIO drivers that have different names under 32-bit and
64-bit (Xonar AE is one of them)... so we have to manually scan the
registry and surface both the WOW32 and WOW64 nodes.

Checked both 32-bit and 64-bit configurator, identical results.
## Description of change
**Configurator (spicecfg.exe)**
- Attempts to create a D3D9 device on startup and uses the hardware
ImGui DX9 path when successful; falls back to the existing software
rasterizer automatically if D3D9 init fails.
- Rewrites the configurator window loop: refresh-rate-aware render
timer, minimize/resize/`WM_DISPLAYCHANGE` handling, direct Win32 ->
ImGui input (keyboard, mouse, wheel), and optimized software painting
via `SetDIBitsToDevice` instead of per-frame GDI `HBITMAP` allocation.
**Overlay / input (scoped to standalone configurator)**
- Skips expensive per-frame rawinput polling in
`ImGui_ImplSpice_NewFrame` when `CONFIGURATOR_STANDALONE` is set (Win32
messages drive input instead).
- Adds software-renderer idle-frame detection (`sw_pixels_dirty` +
draw-data hash) so spicecfg only repaints when pixels actually change.
- Adds `ImGuiWindowFlags_NoScrollWithMouse` on the configurator root
window to prevent scroll jolt on non-scrollable child widgets.

When opening the patches tab by pressing F4 in game, the Save button

## 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.

#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

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.

## 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.

## 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.
As noted in #567, a filesystem path that contains non-ascii will break a
lot if using a clang toolchain.
Luckily, fmtlib has a lossy utf8 convert when you use it to print a path
(after including `fmt/std.h`). The vast majority of this diff is just
removing `.string()` from paths inside loggings calls.
There are some callsites I _didn't_ touch, mainly the options, because
it would be an ABI break to change those to be wide strings and I cbf
looking into settings upgrades. There are also some spots (avs mountpath
remapping, for example) where the path is guaranteed to be ascii, so I
didn't modify them.
ImGui doesn't appear to easily support wide strings (I mean, surely it
does, but I'm not gonna look too far into it) so I mostly just left
those alone too, with a few spots modified to re-use fmtlib's lossy
utf8.
Some of the changes are basically never gonna be hit IRL, like who would
put a file with a non-ascii _extension_ along with their modules? But
the diff is (I hope) pretty easy to validate as OK.
Testing has been somewhat minimal, I fired up the GCC build of spice2x
in a dodgy folder name, got mojibake (running via wine in linux so take
that as you will), ran the unmodified clang spice and crashed the same
way the reporter did. After modification, I get the exact same mojibake
so I assume if the terminal enjoys utf8 it'll display OK.
Claude (only used for review) thinks the commit is fine but is annoyed
that I use `fmt::detail` in the appdata censoring, which is part of the
private API; personally I don't care because it's pretty stable.

## Description of change
By default, BAT Positive / Negative binds trigger when the stick is
tilted 10% off the center.
This needs a bit more customization since:

neutral position)
2. User may want to adjust the sensitivity (e.g., guitar controller tilt
angle to trigger wailing).

Adds preliminary support for XInput controllers. Enough to manually bind
buttons and map analogs.
This was a lot more background work than expected, but that is the
nature of unnecessary hobbies I guess. Most things in here are obvious,
so here's the non-obvious thoughts and notes:
1. All the XP stuff is optional, if the toolchain isn't available it
won't even try
2. The docker build is the "known good" build and now has all the
required tools for XP and checking binaries
a. If you're OK with it, can add the XP_MUST_BUILD flag to
build_docker.sh
4. New `SPICE_XP` flag to comment out blocks
5. We could technically build using the Docker image I've made for my XP
compatible LLVM toolchain, but combining the binaries into a single zip
at the end of it is somewhat tedious, so I've chosen to grab the
binaries from my release
6. I also wrote a DLL checker to make sure the final binaries are
_actually_ XP compatible, which found some issues on x86_64 (I don't
know a single game that runs on 64 bit XP, but it wasn't too much effort
so whatever). This also won't run if missing, just to save the trouble.
7. The build script is still pretty shit, I've made some minor
improvements
a. `/usr/bin/env bash` instead of `/bin/bash` as it's more correct
b. Adding `-it` to the docker build, so Ctrl+C actually halts it
c. Main issue is that failures don't halt, because of the custom error
catching function. This has caused a lot of frustration, maybe we can
change that
## Testing
It runs on 32 and 64 bit installs of XP. My jubeat cab is on Win10 these
days and I haven't got around to testing an actual game, but I've
distributed test builds of this to people who *have* confirmed it works
as expected.
