Update to v102r11 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- MD: connected 32KB cartridge RAM up to every Genesis game under 2MB
loaded¹
- MS, GG, MD: improved PSG noise channel emulation, hopefully²
- MS, GG, MD: lowered PSG volume so that the lowpass doesn't clamp
samples³
- MD: added read/write handlers for VRAM, VSRAM, CRAM
- MD: block VRAM copy when CD4 is clear⁴
- MD: rewrote VRAM fill, VRAM copy to be byte-based⁵
- MD: VRAM fill byte set should fall through to regular data port
write handler⁶
¹: the header parsing for backup RAM is really weird. It's spaces
when not used, and seems to be 0x02000001-0x02003fff for the Shining
games. I don't understand why it starts at 0x02000001 instead of
0x02000000. So I'm just forcing every game to have 32KB of RAM for now.
There's also special handling for ROMs > 2MB that also have RAM
(Phantasy Star IV, etc) where there's a toggle to switch between ROM and
RAM. For now, that's not emulated.
I was hoping the Shining games would run after this, but they're still
dead-locking on me :(
²: Cydrak pointed out some flaws in my attempt to implement what he
had. I was having trouble understanding what he meant, so I went back
and read the docs on the sound chip and tried implementing the counter
the way the docs describe. Hopefully I have this right, but I don't know
of any good test ROMs to make sure my noise emulation is correct. The
docs say the shifted-out value goes to the output instead of the low bit
of the LFSR, so I made that change as well.
I think I hear the noise I'm supposed to in Sonic Marble Zone now, but
it seems like it's not correct in Green Hill Zone, adding a bit of an
annoying buzz to the background music. Maybe it sounds better with the
YM2612, but more likely, I still screwed something up :/
³: it's set to 50% range for both cores right now. For the MD, it
will need to be 25% once YM2612 emulation is in.
⁴: technically, this deadlocks the VDP until a hard reset. I could
emulate this, but for now I just don't do the VRAM copy in this case.
⁵: VSRAM fill and CRAM fill not supported in this new mode. They're
technically undocumented, and I don't have good notes on how they work.
I've been seeing conflicting notes on whether the VRAM fill buffer is
8-bits or 16-bits (I chose 8-bits), and on whether you write the low
byte and then high byte of each words, or the high byte and then low
byte (I chose the latter.)
The VRAM copy improvements fix the opening text in Langrisser II, so
that's great.
⁶: Langrisser II sets the transfer length to one less than needed to
fill the background letter tile on the scenario overview screen. After
moving to byte-sized transfers, a black pixel was getting stuck there.
So effectively, VRAM fill length becomes DMA length + 1, and the first
byte uses the data port so it writes a word value instead of just a byte
value. Hopefully this is all correct, although it probably gets way more
complicated with the VDP FIFO.

auto VDP::DMA::load() -> void {

Update to v101r07 release.
byuu says:
Added VDP sprite rendering. Can't get any games far enough in to see if
it actually works. So in other words, it doesn't work at all and is 100%
completely broken.
Also added 68K exceptions and interrupts. So far only the VDP interrupt
is present. It definitely seems to be firing in commercial games, so
that's promising. But the implementation is almost certainly completely
wrong. There is fuck all of nothing for documentation on how interrupts
actually work. I had to find out the interrupt vector numbers from
reading the comments from the Sonic the Hedgehog disassembly. I have
literally no fucking clue what I0-I2 (3-bit integer priority value in
the status register) is supposed to do. I know that Vblank=6, Hblank=4,
Ext(gamepad)=2. I know that at reset, SR.I=7. I don't know if I'm
supposed to block interrupts when I is >, >=, <, <= to the interrupt
level. I don't know what level CPU exceptions are supposed to be.
Also implemented VDP regular DMA. No idea if it works correctly since
none of the commercial games run far enough to use it. So again, it's
horribly broken for usre.
Also improved VDP fill mode. But I don't understand how it takes
byte-lengths when the bus is 16-bit. The transfer times indicate it's
actually transferring at the same speed as the 68K->VDP copy, strongly
suggesting it's actually doing 16-bit transfers at a time. In which case,
what happens when you set an odd transfer length?
Also, both DMA modes can now target VRAM, VSRAM, CRAM. Supposedly there's
all kinds of weird shit going on when you target VSRAM, CRAM with VDP
fill/copy modes, but whatever. Get to that later.
Also implemented a very lazy preliminary wait mechanism to to stall out
a processor while another processor exerts control over the bus. This
one's going to be a major work in progress. For one, it totally breaks
the model I use to do save states with libco. For another, I don't
know if a 68K->VDP DMA instantly locks the CPU, or if it the CPU could
actually keep running if it was executing out of RAM when it started
the DMA transfer from ROM (eg it's a bus busy stall, not a hard chip
stall.) That'll greatly change how I handle the waiting.
Also, the OSS driver now supports Audio::Latency. Sound should be
even lower latency now. On FreeBSD when set to 0ms, it's absolutely
incredible. Cannot detect latency whatsoever. The Mario jump sound seems
to happen at the very instant I hear my cherry blue keyswitch activate.

RAM. For now, that's not emulated.
I was hoping the Shining games would run after this, but they're still
dead-locking on me :(
²: Cydrak pointed out some flaws in my attempt to implement what he
had. I was having trouble understanding what he meant, so I went back
and read the docs on the sound chip and tried implementing the counter
the way the docs describe. Hopefully I have this right, but I don't know
of any good test ROMs to make sure my noise emulation is correct. The
docs say the shifted-out value goes to the output instead of the low bit
of the LFSR, so I made that change as well.
I think I hear the noise I'm supposed to in Sonic Marble Zone now, but
it seems like it's not correct in Green Hill Zone, adding a bit of an
annoying buzz to the background music. Maybe it sounds better with the
YM2612, but more likely, I still screwed something up :/
³: it's set to 50% range for both cores right now. For the MD, it
will need to be 25% once YM2612 emulation is in.
⁴: technically, this deadlocks the VDP until a hard reset. I could
emulate this, but for now I just don't do the VRAM copy in this case.
⁵: VSRAM fill and CRAM fill not supported in this new mode. They're
technically undocumented, and I don't have good notes on how they work.
I've been seeing conflicting notes on whether the VRAM fill buffer is
8-bits or 16-bits (I chose 8-bits), and on whether you write the low
byte and then high byte of each words, or the high byte and then low
byte (I chose the latter.)
The VRAM copy improvements fix the opening text in Langrisser II, so
that's great.
⁶: Langrisser II sets the transfer length to one less than needed to
fill the background letter tile on the scenario overview screen. After
moving to byte-sized transfers, a black pixel was getting stuck there.
So effectively, VRAM fill length becomes DMA length + 1, and the first
byte uses the data port so it writes a word value instead of just a byte
value. Hopefully this is all correct, although it probably gets way more
complicated with the VDP FIFO.

Changelog:
- MD: connected 32KB cartridge RAM up to every Genesis game under 2MB
loaded¹
- MS, GG, MD: improved PSG noise channel emulation, hopefully²
- MS, GG, MD: lowered PSG volume so that the lowpass doesn't clamp
samples³
- MD: added read/write handlers for VRAM, VSRAM, CRAM
- MD: block VRAM copy when CD4 is clear⁴
- MD: rewrote VRAM fill, VRAM copy to be byte-based⁵
- MD: VRAM fill byte set should fall through to regular data port
write handler⁶
¹: the header parsing for backup RAM is really weird. It's spaces
when not used, and seems to be 0x02000001-0x02003fff for the Shining
games. I don't understand why it starts at 0x02000001 instead of
0x02000000. So I'm just forcing every game to have 32KB of RAM for now.
There's also special handling for ROMs > 2MB that also have RAM

Update to v101r07 release.
byuu says:
Added VDP sprite rendering. Can't get any games far enough in to see if
it actually works. So in other words, it doesn't work at all and is 100%
completely broken.
Also added 68K exceptions and interrupts. So far only the VDP interrupt
is present. It definitely seems to be firing in commercial games, so
that's promising. But the implementation is almost certainly completely
wrong. There is fuck all of nothing for documentation on how interrupts
actually work. I had to find out the interrupt vector numbers from
reading the comments from the Sonic the Hedgehog disassembly. I have
literally no fucking clue what I0-I2 (3-bit integer priority value in
the status register) is supposed to do. I know that Vblank=6, Hblank=4,
Ext(gamepad)=2. I know that at reset, SR.I=7. I don't know if I'm
supposed to block interrupts when I is >, >=, <, <= to the interrupt
level. I don't know what level CPU exceptions are supposed to be.
Also implemented VDP regular DMA. No idea if it works correctly since
none of the commercial games run far enough to use it. So again, it's
horribly broken for usre.
Also improved VDP fill mode. But I don't understand how it takes
byte-lengths when the bus is 16-bit. The transfer times indicate it's
actually transferring at the same speed as the 68K->VDP copy, strongly
suggesting it's actually doing 16-bit transfers at a time. In which case,
what happens when you set an odd transfer length?
Also, both DMA modes can now target VRAM, VSRAM, CRAM. Supposedly there's
all kinds of weird shit going on when you target VSRAM, CRAM with VDP
fill/copy modes, but whatever. Get to that later.
Also implemented a very lazy preliminary wait mechanism to to stall out
a processor while another processor exerts control over the bus. This
one's going to be a major work in progress. For one, it totally breaks
the model I use to do save states with libco. For another, I don't
know if a 68K->VDP DMA instantly locks the CPU, or if it the CPU could
actually keep running if it was executing out of RAM when it started
the DMA transfer from ROM (eg it's a bus busy stall, not a hard chip
stall.) That'll greatly change how I handle the waiting.
Also, the OSS driver now supports Audio::Latency. Sound should be
even lower latency now. On FreeBSD when set to 0ms, it's absolutely
incredible. Cannot detect latency whatsoever. The Mario jump sound seems
to happen at the very instant I hear my cherry blue keyswitch activate.
