QMamehook v1.9.3 - Blanco

The "Oh Parace, it's been THAT Long?" Update

Apologies for the time since releases. I've been very busy with OpenFIRE developments, plus some life happenings. I only managed to get enough free time starting this week to actually bundle everything up into a new release, because there's been a LOT of developments:

• Devices are now sorted based on device Product IDs, courtesy of @samuelballantyne
• Device strings (in VID:PID @ portPath format) are now printed whenever a specific port is referenced
  • Initial implementation courtesy of @samuelballantyne, with some added polish by myself
• Device info for whitelisted devices are printed at startup, courtesy of @samuelballantyne
• The current QMH version is now printed at startup
• QMH should now build fine with Qt5 or Qt6
  • Initial implementation courtesy of @samuelballantyne, with some added "polish"(?) by myself
  • If your system has more than one Qt version installed, you can force the specific version to be built against by adding -DQMH_QT_VERSION=Qt# to your initial cmake .. command before building.
• QMH now has help text! This pops up when either inputting an incorrect custom path (-p) or calling for it with -h/--help.
  • This will also display QMH's default location where it searches for .inis appropriate to the OS it's running on.
• Custom paths -p are now checked to make sure they actually exist, and throw an error if it doesn't.
• A lot of minor optimizations - or rather, pruning of some bad coding practices from past-me.
• When closing a connection (either voluntarily or because of a mame_stop command), QMH will now actually try and use the defined MameStop field, if any.
  • If it doesn't find a MameStop field (or at least one that can be read as a list of commands), then it falls back to the old behavior of simply sending E to all devices before closing them.
  • QMH will also check after a configured stop script if there were any devices left over that haven't been closed yet, and force-close them as appropriate with a notification in the console log.
