#592
## Description of change
* when custom DLLs are detected (`d3d9.dll`) print out some basic data
from the PE header
* for our own NVIDIA DLL stubs, add manifest files to identify ourselves
* as a bonus, when DLL hooks are loaded from `-k`, print DLL info there
as well
This is mainly to detect when DXVK is in use.
- Include order and forward decls were breaking button.h because a
declared but not defined struct can't be initiated (honestly this file
was cooked, crazy include order).
- `MAXINT` is GCC specific, `INT_MAX` is portable.
- InterlockedDecrement takes a LONG, not ULONG
- an imgui printf-style call using a direct string instead of %s (let's
ignore the fact that it's actually safe based on how the str is
constructed)
- missing `override` on a virtual subclass
- `CALLBACK` on a lambda threw me for a loop, but I believe moving it
after the arg list is the correct approach (see if it builds on gcc I
guess)
- `std::result_of` was removed in C++20, which the project is built with

## Description of change
Adds an option to pick from four algorithms for guitar picking input.
The default behavior is being switched from legacy (rising edge only,
always 1 frame of input) to SOCD "prefer recent" algorithm. This makes
it slightly easier to navigate the menu with the guitar.
## Testing
Validated gw, gwdelta, and sdvx just in case.

## Description of change
Fix digital wailing not being recognized consistently.
Also address the fact that wailing was completely broken when lefty mode
was on. This requires a new option that the user needs to check off in
the configurator since we can't magically guess if the user is holding
the guitar in lefty mode.
- [x] fix downward wail
- [x] digital lefty mode
- [x] implement all of this for arena model i/o
- [x] test dx cab 2p
- [x] lefty toggle in overlay
- [x] fix analog not working for 2p guitar
- [ ] analog lefty mode?
## Testing
Checked GW and GW Delta

## Description of change
Apply SOCD cleaner algorithm to deal with the case where both
counter-clockwise and clockwise buttons are pressed at the same time.
In SDVX, default algorithm is to prefer the most recently pressed
direction. This is better for dealing with slams in rapid succession,
for example, as you don't have to completely let go of one direction to
hit the other now.
In IIDX, default algorithm is neutral (same behavior as before). Using
last or first algorithm results in double scratches which means you'll
likely end up with an excessive poor after hitting a scratch, so neutral
is actually beneficial. Besides, if you are serious about playing on the
keyboard, you should be using `TT +/-` and `TT +/- Alternate`.
## Testing
Tested SDVX 3, EG (old cab), EG valk cab modes, IIDX 24, 27, 33

## 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.

## 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)
## Testing
## 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)
## Description of change
Just like the normal logger, deferred logging can be called from any
component at any time, so accessing the vector needs to be guarded.

#388
## 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.
## Testing
Tested each failure case by injection.
## 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.

#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.

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.

## Description of change
Log a message if d3d9.dll (and friends) are found in the game root or
the modules directory.
This is to help with troubleshooting in cases where the user is unaware
that d3d9 is being used to inject other DLLs (e.g., ifs_layeredfs), or
when DX9 reimplementation is causing issues / crashes (e.g., dxvk).
## Testing
Observed the new messages being logged in both modules / root directory.

#304
## Description of change
Complain loudly about DLL conflicts. Show warnings for each DLL that
exists in both modules directory and the root.
This is not based on LoadLibrary hooks, just enumerating DLLs via
filesystem access.
Deliberately not using `log_fatal` since these are not necessarily going
to crash the game. Some people just love to have messy installs and if
the game booted fine before, it should continue to boot.
## Testing
Tested with/without `-modules`, with/without duplicate DLLs.

## Description of change
For JSON config files of the following features:
* patch manager
* screen resize
* IIDX camera hook
* card manager
when saving a new file, store them in %appdata%\spice2x instead of
%appdata%.
On load:
1. If the JSON file exists in %appdata%\spice2x, use that (new path)
1. If the JSON file exists in %appdata%, continue to use that (legacy
path)
It's common for people to have mixed versions of spicetools/spice2x so
we'll continue to read from the %appdata% root if the files are there,
but with a preference for the new path. We will not forcibly move files.
spicetools.xml will continue to live in the %appdata% root. Moving this
will confuse a lot of people, so I'm avoiding this.
Also, this fixes `-patchcfgpath` and `-resizecfgpath` to create
directories as needed (previously the parent directory must have existed
first)
## Testing
Tested -
* existing config files are continued to be read from %appdata%
* new files get created in %appdata%\spice2x\... (both in spicecfg and
in overlay)
* can provide custom path for `-patchcfgpath` `-resizecfgpath` and
observe directories + file created in custom path, try absolute or local
relative paths

## Description of change
Adds a new option to forcibly set the full screen resolution.
Same idea as -windowscale.
## 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.
