[Agent] feat(ds): DS bottom-screen touch coordinate translation (Phase 2)

[github-actions]

Summary

• DeltaSkinView — detect when a touch falls within the NDS bottom-screen viewport (identified via screenGroups[].screens), normalize the touch point within that viewport (0–1 on each axis), and forward it through DeltaSkinInputHandler.ndsBottomScreenTouched(at:). Tracks each touch independently via a touchToNDSScreenMap dictionary so multi-touch behaves correctly.
• PVMelonDSCore / PVDesmume2015Core — add touchScreenAtPoint(_:) and releaseScreenTouch() forwarding from the Swift layer to the Obj-C bridge.
• PVMelonDSCoreBridge / PVDesmume2015CoreBridge — implement touchScreenAtPoint: and releaseScreenTouch using the libretro pointer device (setMousePosition: + setLeftMouseButtonPressed:), matching the existing approach in PVThinLibretroCore.

Coordinate flow

User tap on bottom-screen viewport (UIKit touch)
  ↓
DeltaSkinView.handleTouchAtLocation(_:in:touchId:)
  ↓ mapToNDSBottomScreen(_:in:)       [outputFrame → view coords → normalize 0–1]
  ↓
DeltaSkinInputHandler.ndsBottomScreenTouched(at: normalizedPoint)
  ↓ normalizedPoint × 255 / 191      [0–1 → DS hardware coords]
  ↓
PVDSSystemResponderClient.touchScreenAtPoint(_ dsPoint: CGPoint)
  ↓
Core bridge: setMousePosition(normalized) + setLeftMouseButtonPressed(YES)
  ↓
RETRO_DEVICE_POINTER state polled by libretro core

Layout support

Orientation	Bottom screen detection
Portrait (stacked)	Bottom screen has larger outputFrame.minY
Landscape (side-by-side)	Bottom screen has id "nds_bottom" or larger outputFrame.minX

The mapToNDSBottomScreen helper prefers id == "nds_bottom" (set by DefaultDeltaSkin) and falls back to largest-minY screen, which naturally selects the bottom screen in portrait layouts.

Test plan

• Launch a DS ROM with melonDS → tap bottom screen → confirm stylus input reaches game
• Launch a DS ROM with DeSmuME 2015 → same
• Launch a DS ROM via RetroArch thin core → same
• Drag across bottom screen → confirm moved events track correctly
• Lift finger → confirm releaseScreenTouch is called
• Multi-touch: hold button + tap screen simultaneously → both work
• Tap top screen → no touchscreen event forwarded
• Landscape orientation → side-by-side screens → bottom-right screen responds
• Non-DS game → no regression in touch handling

Notes

• This PR requires PR [Agent] feat(ds): enable skin support for melonDS, desmume2015, and ThinLibretroCore DS (Phase 1) #3377 (enable DS skin loading) to be merged first before the full feature is active — supportsSkins is still false in both core files until [Agent] feat(ds): enable skin support for melonDS, desmume2015, and ThinLibretroCore DS (Phase 1) #3377 merges.
• The screenGroups used for touch detection are populated only when a dual-screen skin is loaded, so single-screen games are completely unaffected.

Pull request overview

Adds Nintendo DS bottom-screen touch support to the DeltaSkin dual-screen pipeline by mapping UIKit touches inside the bottom-screen viewport into DS hardware coordinates and forwarding them into each DS core’s libretro pointer input path.

Changes:

• Detect bottom-screen touches in DeltaSkinView, normalize them to 0–1 within the bottom screen, and forward begin/move/release events via DeltaSkinInputHandler.
• Add DS touchscreen forwarding methods in the Swift core layers for melonDS and DeSmuME 2015.
• Implement DS touchscreen input in the Obj-C++ libretro bridges by driving pointer position + pressed state.

When an NDS screen touch drags outside the bottom-screen frame, this unconditionally calls ndsBottomScreenTouchReleased(). If another finger is still touching the bottom screen, this will incorrectly release the stylus for all touches. Consider only calling release when the last active screen-touch ID is removed (same logic as the .ended path), or track an active-touch count and release only when it reaches zero.

Suggested change

	// Touch dragged off the bottom screen — release and fall through to button detection
	DLOG("DS bottom screen touch left screen area, releasing")
	touchToNDSScreenMap.removeValue(forKey: touchId)
	inputHandler.ndsBottomScreenTouchReleased()
	// Touch dragged off the bottom screen — potentially release and fall through to button detection
	DLOG("DS bottom screen touch left screen area for touchId=\(touchId), removing mapping")
	touchToNDSScreenMap.removeValue(forKey: touchId)
	// Only release when this was the last active NDS bottom-screen touch
	if touchToNDSScreenMap.isEmpty {
	DLOG("No remaining DS bottom screen touches, releasing stylus")
	inputHandler.ndsBottomScreenTouchReleased()
	}

mapToNDSBottomScreen scales outputFrame using calculateButtonTransform, which assumes outputFrame is in mappingSize pixel coordinates. For skins where outputFrame is already normalized (0–1) — e.g. DefaultDeltaSkin uses outputFrame.x = 0.31 — this produces a ~sub-point scaledFrame and bottom-screen touch detection will never trigger. Suggest normalizing outputFrame first (if any component > 1, divide by mappingSize; otherwise treat as already-normalized), then convert to view coordinates using the same layout math used for screen rendering (layout width/height + offsets, including safe-area insets).

Suggested change

	let (scaleX, scaleY, xOffset, yOffset) = calculateButtonTransform(in: size, mappingSize: mappingSize)
	let scaledFrame = CGRect(
	x: outputFrame.minX * scaleX + xOffset,
	y: yOffset + outputFrame.minY * scaleY,
	width: outputFrame.width * scaleX,
	height: outputFrame.height * scaleY
	// Normalize outputFrame into 0–1 space if it is specified in mappingSize pixels.
	// Some skins (e.g. DefaultDeltaSkin) already use normalized coordinates (0–1),
	// while others may specify absolute positions in the skin's mapping space.
	let isPixelBased = outputFrame.maxX > 1 || outputFrame.maxY > 1
	let normalizedFrame: CGRect
	if isPixelBased, mappingSize.width > 0, mappingSize.height > 0 {
	normalizedFrame = CGRect(
	x: outputFrame.minX / mappingSize.width,
	y: outputFrame.minY / mappingSize.height,
	width: outputFrame.width / mappingSize.width,
	height: outputFrame.height / mappingSize.height
	)
	} else {
	normalizedFrame = outputFrame
	}
	// Convert normalized frame back into mapping-space pixels so that
	// calculateButtonTransform (which works in mappingSize coordinates)
	// can be applied consistently for both normalized and pixel-based skins.
	let mappingFrame = CGRect(
	x: normalizedFrame.minX * mappingSize.width,
	y: normalizedFrame.minY * mappingSize.height,
	width: normalizedFrame.width * mappingSize.width,
	height: normalizedFrame.height * mappingSize.height

touchToNDSScreenMap only uses the key presence (!= nil) and always stores true, so a Set<ObjectIdentifier> would communicate intent more clearly and avoid carrying an unused Bool payload.

Suggested change

	@State private var touchToNDSScreenMap: [ObjectIdentifier: Bool] = [:]
	@State private var ndsScreenTouches: Set<ObjectIdentifier> = []

The pointer normalization here uses / 255.0 and / 191.0, while PVThinLibretroCore.touchScreenAtPoint uses / 256.0 and / 192.0 for DS (treating the resolution as 256×192). This difference will make edge touches map slightly differently across DS core paths. Consider aligning the normalization formula with the thin-core path (and/or libretro pointer expectations) so touch behavior is consistent between melonDS/desmume bridges and RetroArch DS cores.

Suggested change

	CGFloat normalizedX = point.x / 255.0;
	CGFloat normalizedY = point.y / 191.0;
	CGFloat normalizedX = point.x / 256.0;
	CGFloat normalizedY = point.y / 192.0;

✅ Fixes pushed — addressed all 5 Copilot review comments:

1. Touch-off-screen release: Only calls ndsBottomScreenTouchReleased() when the last active NDS screen touch leaves the area (not on every drag-out)
2. outputFrame normalization: mapToNDSBottomScreen now detects pixel-based vs normalized outputFrame and normalizes first before applying calculateButtonTransform, fixing touch detection for skins like DefaultDeltaSkin
3. Set instead of Dict: Replaced touchToNDSScreenMap: [ObjectIdentifier: Bool] with ndsScreenTouches: Set<ObjectIdentifier> — cleaner intent, no unused Bool payload
4. melonDS normalization: Fixed /255.0→/256.0 and /191.0→/192.0 to match PVThinLibretroCore
5. DeSmuME 2015 normalization: Same fix — /255.0→/256.0 and /191.0→/192.0

5	PVDesmume2015Core+Controls.mm:293	Same normalization issue as melonDS	✅ Fixed — same

Self-Review Findings

Architecture correctness: Verified the full data path:

• DeltaSkinInputHandler.ndsBottomScreenTouched(at:) normalizes 0–1 → DS pixels (0–255, 0–191)
• Native bridge touchScreenAtPoint: uses setMousePosition: + setLeftMouseButtonPressed:YES
• PVLibRetroCore.m RETRO_DEVICE_POINTER handler reads currentTouchPosition (set by setMousePosition:) — correct, not the _pointerX/_pointerY path used by PVThinLibretroFrontend

Normalization math: Using /256.0 and /192.0 is consistent with PVThinLibretroCore.touchScreenAtPoint and correct for the libretro pointer model (256-cell grid where pixel 255 is at normalized 255/256, not 1.0).

Protocol conformance: Both PVMelonDSCoreBridge and PVDesmume2015CoreBridge declare <PVDSSystemResponderClient> in their class headers and implement touchScreenAtPoint: + releaseScreenTouch in their Controls categories.

Multi-platform: All NDS touch code is either inside #if !os(tvOS) gesture blocks or in private helper functions that compile on all platforms (using only CGPoint/CGRect/Set). No tvOS-incompatible APIs introduced.

Pre-existing issue noted (not from this PR): PVMelonDSCore+Controls.mm has a duplicate @import PVCoreBridge; on lines 11–12 (pre-dates this PR, harmless in ObjC).

No new commits needed — all Copilot issues were already resolved.

	- **DS Dual-Screen Touch Coordinate Translation** — Tapping the bottom-screen viewport in a Nintendo DS dual-screen skin now sends correctly translated hardware coordinates (0–255 x, 0–191 y) to the emulator core via `PVDSSystemResponderClient`. Supports touch began, moved, and ended for melonDS, DeSmuME 2015, and RetroArch DS cores in both portrait (stacked) and landscape (side-by-side) layouts.

When a touch that started as an NDS screen touch moves off the bottom-screen area, the comment says it should “fall through to button detection”, but the function always returns immediately. This prevents that touch from ever transitioning to button/D-pad handling after leaving the screen. Consider only returning early when the touch remains within the bottom screen; if it leaves, remove it from ndsScreenTouches/release stylus and continue through the normal button hit-testing path (or update the comment to match intended behavior).

[Copilot]

mapToNDSBottomScreen’s fallback selection uses only the largest outputFrame.minY. In side-by-side (landscape) layouts where both screens share the same minY, this can pick the wrong screen when the explicit id == "nds_bottom" isn’t present. Consider adding a landscape-safe fallback (e.g., choose the screen with the largest minX when minY ties, or sort by (minY, minX)).

Suggested change

	// Prefer explicit id; fall back to the screen with the largest minY (portrait-stacked bottom)
	let bottomScreen: DeltaSkinScreen? = allScreens.first { $0.id == "nds_bottom" }
	?? allScreens.compactMap { screen -> (DeltaSkinScreen, CGFloat)? in
	guard let frame = screen.outputFrame else { return nil }
	return (screen, frame.minY)
	}.max(by: { $0.1 < $1.1 })?.0
	// Prefer explicit id; fall back to the screen with the largest minY (portrait-stacked bottom),
	// and when minY ties (e.g., side-by-side landscape), choose the one with the largest minX.
	let bottomScreen: DeltaSkinScreen? = allScreens.first { $0.id == "nds_bottom" }
	?? allScreens.compactMap { screen -> (DeltaSkinScreen, CGRect)? in
	guard let frame = screen.outputFrame else { return nil }
	return (screen, frame)
	}.max(by: { lhs, rhs in
	if lhs.1.minY == rhs.1.minY {
	return lhs.1.minX < rhs.1.minX
	}
	return lhs.1.minY < rhs.1.minY
	})?.0

✅ Fixes pushed — addressed all Copilot review comments:

1. Fall-through on screen-exit: Touch that drags off the NDS bottom screen now falls through to button/D-pad hit-testing instead of returning early. The return was moved inside the "still on screen" branch.
2. Landscape bottom-screen fallback: Added minX tiebreaker in mapToNDSBottomScreen — when two screens share the same minY (side-by-side landscape), the screen with the larger minX is selected as the bottom screen.
3. Changelog style: Removed trailing period from .changelog/3503.md to match project style.

Notes: The Set<ObjectIdentifier> refactor, outputFrame normalization, and 256×192 division were already applied in a prior commit.
