Fixes#364
## Description of change
The game attempts to hook raw input, but raw input API can only be used
by one window per process. Hook `RegisterRawInputDevices` and prevent
the game from registration for raw input notifications.
## Testing
Tested that HID keyboard works with `Bind` option.

#345
## Description of change
Check if the path to codecs directory contains non-ASCII characters, and
display a giant warning. This is to help with troubleshooting, since
registration of xactengine silently fails (creates a bad registry entry)
if the path contains non-ASCII chars.
Log the size of codec DLLs, and log any failures from `regsvr32`.
Detect the case where user specified `-exec gamemdx.dll` for DDR which
seems to be a common pitfall. This doesn't work because gamemdx.dll does
not have a DLL entry, but for some reason people are really tempted to
do this.
## Testing
Validated the error cases.

## Description of change
Minor fix for a warning in the log. Moves the check for IFS LayeredFS
_after_ loading hooks. Also checks for the module with `GetModuleHandle`
instead, which should cover all paths as long as `ifs_hook.dll` hasn't
been renamed. 😅
## Testing
Before:
```
[2025/07/19 15:59:56] W:launcher: data_mods directory was found, but ifs_hook.dll is not present; your mods will not load

tried to crash the game a different way and check that the message is

#41 (partially)
## Description of change
This PR adds support for outputting IIDX tape LED data via spiceapi
(`iidx_tapeled_get()`). It returns the data as a `dict`, with the key
being the LED name and the value being the list of RGB values. You can
optionally pass in a variadic list of names to filter the returned data.
The new API function is only implemented in Python since I'm not able to
test the wrappers in other languages.
An example script using the new API is available in this Beef Board PR:
https://github.com/HWXLR8/beef-board/pull/133.
Demo use case: https://streamable.com/pq5e1e
## Testing
Tested in IIDX 32 with custom Beef Board firmware along with a Python
script to read and send the tape LED data over USB.

## Description of change
Add a stub for `cpusbxpkm.dll`. The stub doesn't work, it's only enough
to allow the game to load; but that is irrelevant since spice hooks the
printer at runtime.
## Testing
Observed the game boot, and was able to print out the test image from
test menu. Will do more testing on a real server.

Fixes#322
## Description of change
Ensure game launches in full screen when windowed mode setting is off.
Before this PR, the game always launched in windowed mode.
## Testing
Seems to run fine in fullscreen with the monitor in portrait mode.
It does seem to run at even lower framerate (around 24fps, vs. 30fps in
windowed) but it might be expected.
Some weirdness with the mouse cursor when the overlay is active (two
cursors).

Fixes#320
## Description of change
Replacing the existing logic that searches for game window to hook touch
on.
Eventually, we should fix all the other games that hook touch by
matching on window title with a call to `FindProcessWindowBeginsWith`.
## Testing
Tested with notepad open that was also titled `LovePlusAC`. Game hooked
correctly when the game was in focus during boot, and also when notepad
was in focus.

#316
(this does not fix the issue!)
## Description of change
Add an option to omit `-noCamera` option. Doing so allows the game to
boot and search for a compatible camera using KS API, but will likely
fail since we don't know what cameras are compatible. You end up with a
camera error during boot, which can be ignored by flipping a switch in
the test menu to disable the camera.
No hooks are currently done to make the camera work!
## Testing
Tested to see that turning this on triggers the camera error. No known
camera at the moment.
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
Fixes#139
## Description of change
Add an option for detecting window focus when accepting input.
The new default will be to have the following:
* naive bindings will check for window focus
* rawinput binds are not affected, will continue to be accepted
regardless of focus
Other options (always / never choices) can be picked by the user to
tweak the behavior if needed.
Clean up usage of `0xff` constant to represent invalid naive vkey.
## Testing
Still in progress, especially in regards to performance.
On a i7-9700 system, 10000 calls to `superexit::has_focus()` takes
250-350 microseconds, so this should not be a big deal at all.

Mark the option as "sensitive" which censors the option value (adapter's

Remove the log entry from spice
This isn't perfect because most of the games like to log the IP address
and subnet anyway, but at least spice itself will stop doing it.

Tested 64 bit LDJ with parameter set.
