Add lirc and controller hotkey support for fast-forward function

Add lirc and controller hotkey support for fast-forward function.

This needs to be done by v1.4 for completeness.

I would also appreciate a fast-forward function, something like toggling the 
frame
limit to that you can skip lenghty and boring parts of games (like that
got-the-star-jumping-out-the-frame-sequence in SM64). The re-recording version 
of
Mupen64 (ticket 58) already supported this.

We already have a fast forward feature; this enhancement request is to support 
the
use of this feature with LIRC and the controller.  Currently fast-forward only 
works
with a keypress, and speed up/down works with a keypress or controller button 
press.

Just checked out rev 301 and still can't see anything like a fast-forward 
option?
Using the regular GTK menu, I seem to be blind. *ashamed*

You're not blind...so far it's an undocumented new feature. :-) Hold down 'F' 
to go
into fast-forward mode. Let go of 'F' to leave fast-forward mode. You can also 
use
F10/F11 to slow down/speed up emulation by 5%. The one drawback to this
implementation of fast-forward is that your system has to be fast enough to 
emulate
it at that speed. I would also like to see a fast-forward that works more like 
a DVD
player fast-forward, skipping frames, but the current implementation was much 
simpler
to write.

can you add an option to change the key used to fast-forward?. The F key very
uncomfortable

What's the status on this? Its the only item left with a 1.4 flag.

Lirc now has support for speed up, slow down, pause and frame advance.  The 
'hold
down f' for fast forward function is not being implemented as Lirc does not 
know if a
button is held down, or when it is released
