The screen real-estate is already reserved, the values are dumped and
restored by the on-DSP code, why not make something out of these values ?
Allows following:
- where exactly send_back was called from ($st1)
- the boundaries and progress of the innermost BLOOP{,I} ($st0, 2 and 3)
up to send_back's call
The current code expects new mail almost immediately after the last map was sent for it to be saved properly. However, I have a test program that ends up looping for 32768 iterations before it sends more mail; this resulted in an incomplete result dump. I've changed it to wait a frame between checking for mail, which solves that issue. This does slow down dumping, but the end speed matches the speed at which the UI updates the registers so this isn't a big deal (the UI waits a frame between mail normally). (Theoretically, it could take even longer for dumping to finish, so this is not a perfect solution. However, for tests that take that long to run, it would be better to save the existing results instead of re-running the test and saving that; that'd be something to do with later improvements.)
Without this, execution continues beyond the end of the function, into the great unknown (probably eventually falling into either code left from a previous test, or the start of the DSP ROM). end_of_test is just an infinite loop to stop executing until the DSP is reset.
Hardware testing indicated that SRS uses a different list of registers than LRS (specifically, acS.h can be used with SRSH but not LRS, and SRS does not support AX registers, and there are 2 encodings that do nothing).
This makes the point where execution starts more obvious compared to a start_of_test label at the end of the include, and allows putting other functions at the start of the file. This change also modifies the existing tests to build with this change.
