So, here's the deal. I now have three emulators. I don't think the
NES/GB ones are at all useful, but I do want them to be eventually. And
having them have those pathetic little GUIs like ui-gameboy, and keeping
everything in separate project folders, just doesn't work well for me.
I kind of "got around" the issue with the Game Boy, by only allowing SGB
mode emulation. But there is no "Super Nintendo" ... er ... wait ...
uhmm ... well, you know what I mean anyway.
So, my idea is to write a multi-emulator GUI, and keep the projects
together. The GUI is not going to change much. The way I envision this
working:
At startup, you have a menubar with: "Cartridge, Settings, Tools, Help".
Cartridge has "Load NES Cartridge", "Load SNES Cartridge", etc.
When you load something, Cartridge is replaced with the appropriate
system menu, eg "SNES". Here you have all your regular items: "power,
reset, controller port selection, etc." There is also a new "Unload
Cartridge" option, which is how you restore the "Cartridge" menu again.
I have no plans to emulate any other systems, but if I ever do emulate
something that doesn't take cartridges, I'll change the name to just
"Load" or something.
The cheat editor / state manager will look and act exactly the same. The
settings panel will look exactly the same. I'll simply show/hide
system-specific options as needed, like NES/SNES aspect ratio
correction, etc. The input mapping window will just have settings for
the currently loaded system. Video and audio tweaking will apply
cross-system, as will hotkey mapping.
The GUI stuff is mostly copy-paste, so it should only take me a week to
get it 95% back to where it was, so don't worry, this isn't total GUI
rewrite #80.
I am, however, making all the objects pointers, so that I can destruct
them all prior to main() returning, which is certainly one way of fixing
that annoying Windows/Qt crash.
Please only test on Linux. The Windows port is broken to hell, and will
give you a bad impression of the idea:
- menu groups are not hiding for some reason (all groups are showing, it
looks hideous)
- Timer interval(0) is taking 16ms per call, capping the FPS to ~64 tops
[FWIW, bsnes/accuracy gets 130fps, bgameboy gets 450fps, bnes gets
800fps; all run at lowest possible granularity]
- the OS keeps beeping when you press keys (AGAIN)
Of course, Qt and GTK+ don't let you shrink a window from the requested
geometry size, because they suck. So the video scaling stuff doesn't
work all that great yet.
Man, a metric fuckton of things need to be fixed in phoenix, and
I really don't know how to fix any of them :/

Nothing WS-related this time.
First, I fixed expansion port device mapping. On first load, it was
mapping the expansion port device too late, so it ended up not taking
effect. I had to spin out the logic for that into
Program::connectDevices(). This was proving to be quite annoying while
testing eBoot (SNES-Hook simulation.)
Second, I fixed the audio->set(Frequency, Latency) functions to take
(uint) parameters from the configuration file, so the weird behavior
around changing settings in the audio panel should hopefully be gone
now.
Third, I rewrote the interface->load,unload functions to call into the
(Emulator)::System::load,unload functions. And I have those call out to
Cartridge::load,unload. Before, this was inverted, and Cartridge::load()
was invoking System::load(), which I felt was kind of backward.
The Super Game Boy really didn't like this change, however. And it took
me a few hours to power through it. Before, I had the Game Boy core
dummying out all the interface->(load,save)Request calls, and having the
SNES core make them for it. This is because the folder paths and IDs
will be different between the two cores.
I've redesigned things so that ICD2's Emulator::Interface overloads
loadRequest and saveRequest, and translates the requests into new
requests for the SuperFamicom core. This allows the Game Boy code to do
its own loading for everything without a bunch of Super Game Boy special
casing, and without any awkwardness around powering on with no cartridge
inserted.
This also lets the SNES side of things simply call into higher-level
GameBoy::interface->load,save(id, stream) functions instead of stabbing
at the raw underlying state inside of various Game Boy core emulation
classes. So things are a lot better abstracted now.

Update to v098r04 release.

Changelog:
- SFC: fixed behavior of 21fx $21fe register when no device is connected
(must return zero)
- SFC: reduced 21fx buffer size to 1024 bytes in both directions to
mirror the FT232H we are using
- SFC: eliminated dsp/modulo-array.hpp [1]
- higan: implemented higan/video interface and migrated all cores to it
[2]
[1] the echo history buffer was 8-bytes, so there was no need for it at
all here. Not sure what I was thinking. The BRR buffer was 12-bytes, and
has very weird behavior ... but there's only a single location in the
code where it actually writes to this buffer. It's much easier to just
write to the buffer three times there instead of implementing an entire
class just to abstract away two lines of code. This change actually
boosted the speed from ~124.5fps to around ~127.5fps, but that's within
the margin of error for GCC. I doubt it's actually faster this way.
The DSP core could really use a ton of work. It comes from a port of
blargg's spc_dsp to my coding style, but he was extremely fond of using
32-bit signed integers everywhere. There's a lot of opportunity to
remove red tape masking by resizing the variables to their actual state
sizes.
I really need to find where I put spc_dsp6.sfc from blargg. It's a great
test to verify if I've made any mistakes in my implementation that would
cause regressions. Don't suppose anyone has it?
[2] so again, the idea is that higan/audio and higan/video are going to
sit between the emulation cores and the user interfaces. The hope is to
output raw encoding data from the emulation cores without having to
worry about the video display format (generally 24-bit RGB) of the host
display. And also to avoid having to repeat myself with eg three
separate implementations of interframe blending, and so on.
Furthermore, the idea is that the user interface can configure its side
of the settings, and the emulation cores can configure their sides.
Thus, neither has to worry about the other end. And now we can spin off
new user interfaces much easier without having to mess with all of these
things.
Right now, I've implemented color emulation, interframe blending and
SNES horizontal color bleed. I did not implement scanlines (and
interlace effects for them) yet, but I probably will at some point.
Further, for right now, the WonderSwan/Color screen rotation is busted
and will only show games in the horizontal orientation. Obviously this
must be fixed before the next official release, but I'll want to think
about how to implement it.
Also, the SNES light gun pointers are missing for now.
Things are a bit messy right now as I've gone through several revisions
of how to handle these things, so a good house cleaning is in order once
everything is feature-complete again. I need to sit down and think
through how and where I want to handle things like light gun cursors,
LCD icons, and maybe even rasterized text messages.
And obviously ... higan/audio is still just nall::DSP's headers. I need
to revamp that whole interface. I want to make it quite powerful with
a true audio mixer so I can handle things like
SNES+SGB+MSU1+Voicer-Kun+SNES-CD (five separate audio streams at once.)
The video system has the concept of "effects" for things like color
bleed and interframe blending. I want to extend on this with useful
other effects, such as NTSC simulation, maybe bringing back my mini-HQ2x
filter, etc. I'd also like to restore the saturation/gamma/luma
adjustment sliders ... I always liked allowing people to compensate for
their displays without having to change settings system-wide. Lastly,
I've always wanted to see some audio effects. Although I doubt we'll
ever get my dream of CoreAudio-style profiles, I'd like to get some
basic equalizer settings and echo/reverb effects in there.

Changelog:
- emulation cores now refresh video from host thread instead of
cothreads (fix AMD crash)
- SFC: fixed another bug with leap year months in SharpRTC emulation
- SFC: cleaned up camelCase on function names for
armdsp,epsonrtc,hitachidsp,mcc,nss,sharprtc classes
- GB: added MBC1M emulation (requires manually setting mapper=MBC1M in
manifest.bml for now, sorry)
- audio: implemented Emulator::Audio mixer and effects processor
- audio: implemented Emulator::Stream interface
- it is now possible to have more than two audio streams: eg SNES
+ SGB + MSU1 + Voicer-Kun (eventually)
- audio: added reverb delay + reverb level settings; exposed balance
configuration in UI
- video: reworked palette generation to re-enable saturation, gamma,
luminance adjustments
- higan/emulator.cpp is gone since there was nothing left in it
I know you guys are going to say the color adjust/balance/reverb stuff
is pointless. And indeed it mostly is. But I like the idea of allowing
some fun special effects and configurability that isn't system-wide.
Note: there seems to be some kind of added audio lag in the SGB
emulation now, and I don't really understand why. The code should be
effectively identical to what I had before. The only main thing is that
I'm sampling things to 48000hz instead of 32040hz before mixing. There's
no point where I'm intentionally introducing added latency though. I'm
kind of stumped, so if anyone wouldn't mind taking a look at it, it'd be
much appreciated :/
I don't have an MSU1 test ROM, but the latency issue may affect MSU1 as
well, and that would be very bad.

Changelog:
- SNES mid-scanline BGMODE fixes finally merged (can run
atx2.zip{mode7.smc}+mtest(2).sfc properly now)
- Makefile now discards all built-in rules and variables
- switch on bool warning disabled for GCC now as well (was already
disabled for Clang)
- when loading a game, if any required files are missing, display
a warning message box (manifest.bml, program.rom, bios.rom, etc)
- when loading a game (or a game slot), if manifest.bml is missing, it
will invoke icarus to try and generate it
- if that fails (icarus is missing or the folder is bad), you will get
a warning telling you that the manifest can't be loaded
The warning prompt on missing files work for both games and the .sys
folders and their files. For some reason, failing to load the DMG/CGB
BIOS is causing a crash before I can display the modal dialog. I have no
idea why, and the stack frame backtrace is junk.
I also can't seem to abort the failed loading process. If I call
Program::unloadMedia(), I get a nasty segfault. Again with a really
nasty stack trace. So for now, it'll just end up sitting there emulating
an empty ROM (solid black screen.) In time, I'd like to fix that too.
Lastly, I need a better method than popen for Windows. popen is kind of
ugly and flashes a console window for a brief second even if the
application launched is linked with -mwindows. Not sure if there even is
one (I need to read the stdout result, so CreateProcess may not work
unless I do something nasty like "> %tmp%/temp") I'm also using the
regular popen instead of _wpopen, so for this WIP, it won't work if your
game folder has non-English letters in the path.

Program::connectDevices(). This was proving to be quite annoying while
testing eBoot (SNES-Hook simulation.)
Second, I fixed the audio->set(Frequency, Latency) functions to take
(uint) parameters from the configuration file, so the weird behavior
around changing settings in the audio panel should hopefully be gone
now.
Third, I rewrote the interface->load,unload functions to call into the
(Emulator)::System::load,unload functions. And I have those call out to
Cartridge::load,unload. Before, this was inverted, and Cartridge::load()
was invoking System::load(), which I felt was kind of backward.
The Super Game Boy really didn't like this change, however. And it took
me a few hours to power through it. Before, I had the Game Boy core
dummying out all the interface->(load,save)Request calls, and having the
SNES core make them for it. This is because the folder paths and IDs
will be different between the two cores.
I've redesigned things so that ICD2's Emulator::Interface overloads
loadRequest and saveRequest, and translates the requests into new
requests for the SuperFamicom core. This allows the Game Boy code to do
its own loading for everything without a bunch of Super Game Boy special
casing, and without any awkwardness around powering on with no cartridge
inserted.
This also lets the SNES side of things simply call into higher-level
GameBoy::interface->load,save(id, stream) functions instead of stabbing
at the raw underlying state inside of various Game Boy core emulation
classes. So things are a lot better abstracted now.

So, here's the deal. I now have three emulators. I don't think the
NES/GB ones are at all useful, but I do want them to be eventually. And
having them have those pathetic little GUIs like ui-gameboy, and keeping
everything in separate project folders, just doesn't work well for me.
I kind of "got around" the issue with the Game Boy, by only allowing SGB
mode emulation. But there is no "Super Nintendo" ... er ... wait ...
uhmm ... well, you know what I mean anyway.
So, my idea is to write a multi-emulator GUI, and keep the projects
together. The GUI is not going to change much. The way I envision this
working:
At startup, you have a menubar with: "Cartridge, Settings, Tools, Help".
Cartridge has "Load NES Cartridge", "Load SNES Cartridge", etc.
When you load something, Cartridge is replaced with the appropriate
system menu, eg "SNES". Here you have all your regular items: "power,
reset, controller port selection, etc." There is also a new "Unload
Cartridge" option, which is how you restore the "Cartridge" menu again.
I have no plans to emulate any other systems, but if I ever do emulate
something that doesn't take cartridges, I'll change the name to just
"Load" or something.
The cheat editor / state manager will look and act exactly the same. The
settings panel will look exactly the same. I'll simply show/hide
system-specific options as needed, like NES/SNES aspect ratio
correction, etc. The input mapping window will just have settings for
the currently loaded system. Video and audio tweaking will apply
cross-system, as will hotkey mapping.
The GUI stuff is mostly copy-paste, so it should only take me a week to
get it 95% back to where it was, so don't worry, this isn't total GUI
rewrite #80.
I am, however, making all the objects pointers, so that I can destruct
them all prior to main() returning, which is certainly one way of fixing
that annoying Windows/Qt crash.
Please only test on Linux. The Windows port is broken to hell, and will
give you a bad impression of the idea:
- menu groups are not hiding for some reason (all groups are showing, it
looks hideous)
- Timer interval(0) is taking 16ms per call, capping the FPS to ~64 tops
[FWIW, bsnes/accuracy gets 130fps, bgameboy gets 450fps, bnes gets
800fps; all run at lowest possible granularity]
- the OS keeps beeping when you press keys (AGAIN)
Of course, Qt and GTK+ don't let you shrink a window from the requested
geometry size, because they suck. So the video scaling stuff doesn't
work all that great yet.
Man, a metric fuckton of things need to be fixed in phoenix, and
I really don't know how to fix any of them :/
