core updates

[negativeExponent]

- (readability) descriptive cpu defines so branches specific for CYCLONE CPU and C68K are easily identifiable

• use libretro input bitmasks

• add core option to enable or disable saving disk path. this should prevent FDD drive from booting when user wants to start from a HDD drive Reference PR, revised to be configurable rather than just disabled:

WOAW i have request and dream about this option to save "disable saving disk path." !! Thanks a lot my friend :)

[gingerbeardman]

This is great, thanks!

My only gripe is that the Japanese text in the source files has become mangled @negativeExponent when editing this source I had to force file encoding to Japanese and then leave as is or convert to UTF8. Tricky with most editors but doable.

Over to you @twinaphex

[negativeExponent]

ok. did a force pushed and took out a PR that cause changes to file encoding. This should have now the Japanese texts back

[gingerbeardman]

Many thanks!

The removed PR was otherwise good

I will try to put together a guide of how best to edit these encoded files

[negativeExponent]

majority of the commonly-edited files should be translated if possible and converted to utf8. if someone would work out the menu boxes too the better

im working on moving the px68k menu options to core options aside from drives and system, and hopefully remove the need for a config file (which would mean last mounted drives wont be saved anymore, might leave that in at least.)

Good point. I can't remember why I didn't do that, but there was a reason. No doubt I'll rediscover it - doing the editing guide now.

Do you mean translate the menu texts?

I have that in an old, unpushed fork. (I had also added persist disks as a emulator option rather than RetroArch option.)

Personally, in this instance I believe these emulator options should be moved inside of RetroArch like you have done for persist disks.

Will see what I can do regarding menus.

@negativeExponent for your reference: Working with Japanese encoded source files (macOS)

I will now prepare a PR with mass conversion of text encoding and we'll see how it looks.

[gingerbeardman]

majority of the commonly-edited files should be translated if possible and converted to utf8.

What do you mean @negativeExponent?
