Update to v082r04 release. byuu says: 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 :/

Update to v099r08 release. byuu says: Changelog: - nall/vfs work 100% completed; even SGB games load now - emulation cores now call load() for the base cartridges as well - updated port/device handling; portmask is gone; device ID bug should be resolved now - SNES controller port 1 multitap option was removed - added support for 128KiB SNES PPU VRAM (for now, edit sfc/ppu/ppu.hpp VRAM::size=0x10000; to enable) Overall, nall/vfs was a huge success!! We've substantially reduced the amount of boilerplate code everywhere, while still allowing (even easier than before) support for RAM-based game loading/saving. All of nall/stream is dead and buried. I am considering removing Emulator::Interface::Medium::id and/or bootable flag. Or at least, doing something different with it. The values for the non-bootable GB/BS/ST entries duplicate the ID that is supposed to be unique. They are for GB/GBC and WS/WSC. Maybe I'll use this as the hardware revision selection ID, and then gut non-bootable options. There's really no reason for that to be there. I think at one point I was using it to generate library tabs for non-bootable systems, but we don't do that anymore anyway. Emulator::Interface::load() may not need the required flag anymore ... it doesn't really do anything right now anyway. I have a few reasons for having the cores load the base cartridge. Most importantly, it is going to enable a special mode for the WonderSwan / WonderSwan Color in the future. If we ever get the IPLROMs dumped ... it's possible to boot these systems with no games inserted to set user profile information and such. There are also other systems that may accept being booted without a cartridge. To reach this state, you would load a game and then cancel the load dialog. Right now, this results in games not loading. The second reason is this prevents nasty crashes when loading fails. So if you're missing a required manifest, the emulator won't die a violent death anymore. It's able to back out at any point. The third reason is consistency: loading the base cartridge works the same as the slot cartridges. The fourth reason is Emulator::Interface::open(uint pathID) values. Before, the GB, SB, GBC modes were IDs 1,2,3 respectively. This complicated things because you had to pass the correct ID. But now instead, Emulator::Interface::load() returns maybe<uint> that is nothing when no game is selected, and a pathID for a valid game. And now open() can take this ID to access this game's folder contents. The downside, which is temporary, is that command-line loading is currently broken. But I do intend on restoring it. In fact, I want to do better than before and allow multi-cart booting from the command-line by specifying the base cartridge and then slot cartridges. The idea should be pretty simple: keep a queue of pending filenames that we fill from the command-line and/or drag-and-drop operations on the main window, and then empty out the queue or prompt for load dialogs from the UI when booting a system. This also might be a bit more unorthodox compared to the traditional emulator design of "loadGame(filename)", but ... oh well. It's easy enough still. The port/device changes are fun. We simplified things quite a bit. The portmask stuff is gone entirely. While ports and devices keep IDs, this is really just sugar-coating so UIs can use for(auto& port : emulator->ports) and access port.id; rather than having to use for(auto n : range(emulator->ports)) { auto& port = emulator->ports[n]; ... }; but they should otherwise generally be identical to the order they appear in their respective ranges. Still, don't rely on that. Input::id is gone. There was no point since we also got rid of the nasty Input::order vector. Since I was in here, I went ahead and caved on the pedantics and renamed Input::guid to Input::userData. I removed the SNES controller port 1 multitap option. Basically, the only game that uses this is N-warp Daisakusen and, no offense to d4s, it's not really a good game anyway. It's just a quick demo to show 8-players on the SNES. But in the UI, all it does is confuse people into wasting time mapping a controller they're never going to use, and they're going to wonder which port to use. If more compelling use cases for 8-players comes about, we can reconsider this. I left all the code to support this in place, so all you have to do is uncomment one line to enable it again. We now have dsnes emulation! :D If you change PPU::VRAM::size to 0x10000 (words), then you should now have 128KiB of VRAM. Even better, it serializes the used-VRAM size, so your save states shouldn't crash on you if you swap between the two (though if you try this, you're nuts.) Note that this option does break commercial software. Yoshi's Island in particular. This game is setting A15 on some PPU register writes, but not on others. The end result of this is things break horribly in-game. Also, this option is causing a very tiny speed hit for obvious reasons with the variable masking value (I'm even using size-1 for now.) Given how niche this is, I may just leave it a compile-time constant to avoid the overhead cost. Otherwise, if we keep the option, then it'll go into Super Famicom.sys/manifest.bml ... I'll flesh that out in the near-future. ---- Finally, some fun for my OCD ... my monitor suddenly cut out on me in the middle of working on this WIP, about six hours in of non-stop work. Had to hit a bunch of ctrl+alt+fN commands (among other things) and trying to log in headless on another TTY to do issue commands, trying to recover the display. Finally power cycled the monitor and it came back up. So all my typing ended up going to who knows where. Usually this sort of thing terrifies me enough that I scrap a WIP and start over to ensure I didn't screw anything up during the crashed screen when hitting keys randomly. Obviously, everything compiles and appears to work fine. And I know it's extremely paranoid, but OCD isn't logical, so ... I'm going to go over every line of the 100KiB r07->r08 diff looking for any corruption/errors/whatever. ---- Review finished. r08 diff review notes: - fc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp: use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...; - gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp: remove redundant uint _pathID; (in Information::pathID already) - gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp: pull sha256 inside Information - sfc/cartridge/load/cpp: add " - Slot (A,B)" to interface->load("Sufami Turbo"); to be more descriptive - sfc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp: use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...; - sfc/interface/interface.cpp: remove n variable from the Multitap device input generation loop (now unused) - sfc/interface/interface.hpp: put struct Port above struct Device like the other classes - ui-tomoko: cheats.bml is reading from/writing to mediumPaths(0) [system folder instead of game folder] - ui-tomoko: instead of mediumPaths(1) - call emulator->metadataPathID() or something like that

Update to v099r13 release. byuu says: Changelog: - GB core code cleanup completed - GBA core code cleanup completed - some more cleanup on missed processor/arm functions/variables - fixed FC loading icarus bug - "Load ROM File" icarus functionality restored - minor code unification efforts all around (not perfect yet) - MMIO->IO - mmio.cpp->io.cpp - read,write->readIO,writeIO It's been a very long work in progress ... starting all the way back with v094r09, but the major part of the higan code cleanup is now completed! Of course, it's very important to note that this is only for the basic style: - under_score functions and variables are now camelCase - return-type function-name() are now auto function-name() -> return-type - Natural<T>/Integer<T> replace (u)intT_n types where possible - signed/unsigned are now int/uint - most of the x==true,x==false tests changed to x,!x A lot of spot improvements to consistency, simplicity and quality have gone in along the way, of course. But we'll probably never fully finishing beautifying every last line of code in the entire codebase. Still, this is a really great start. Going forward, WIP diffs should start being smaller and of higher quality once again. I know the joke is, "until my coding style changes again", but ... this was way too stressful, way too time consuming, and way too risky. I'm too old and tired now for extreme upheavel like this again. The only major change I'm slowly mulling over would be renaming the using Natural<T>/Integer<T> = (u)intT; shorthand to something that isn't as easily confused with the (u)int_t types ... but we'll see. I'll definitely continue to change small things all the time, but for the larger picture, I need to just accept the style I have and live with it.

The main reason for this was because Yoshi's Island was breaking horribly until I changed the vramRead, vramWrite functions to take uint15 instead of uint16. I suspect the issue is we're using uint16s in some areas now that need to be uint15, and this game is setting the VRAM address to 0x8000+, causing us to go out of bounds on memory accesses. But ...

Not out of the box, but as a fun little tweakable thing. The SNES was clearly designed to support that, they just didn't use big enough VRAM chips, and left one of the lines disconnected. So ... let's connect it anyway! In the end, if we design it right, the only code difference should be one area where we mask by 15-bits instead of by 16-bits.

Update to v087r30 release. byuu says: Changelog: - DMA channel masks added (some are 27-bit source/target and some are 14-bit length -- hooray, varuint_t class.) - No more state.pending flags. Instead, we set dma.pending flag when we want a transfer (fixes GBA Video - Pokemon audio) [Cydrak] - fixed OBJ Vmosaic [Cydrak, krom] - OBJ cannot read <=0x13fff in BG modes 3-5 (fixes the garbled tile at the top-left of some games) - DMA timing should be much closer to hardware now, but probably not perfect - PPU frame blending uses blargg's bit-perfect, rounded method (slower, but what can you do?) - GBA carts really unload now - added nall/gba/cartridge.hpp: used when there is no manifest. Scans ROMs for library tags, and selects the first valid one found - added EEPROM auto-detection when EEPROM size=0. Forces disk/save state size to 8192 (otherwise states could crash between pre and post detect.) - detects first read after a set read address command when the size is zero, and sets all subsequent bit-lengths to that value, prints detected size to terminal - added nall/nes/cartridge.hpp: moves iNES detection out of emulation core. Important to note: long-term goal is to remove all nall/(system)/cartridge.hpp detections from the core and replace with databases. All in good time. Anyway, the GBA workarounds should work for ~98.5% of the library, if my pre-scanning was correct (~40 games with odd tags. I reject ones without numeric versions now, too.) I think we're basically at a point where we can release a new version now. Compatibility should be relatively high (at least for a first release), and fixes are only going to affect one or two games at a time. I'd like to start doing some major cleaning house internally (rename NES->Famicom, SNES->SuperFamicom and such.) Would be much wiser to do that on a .01 WIP to minimize regressions. The main problems with a release now: - speed is pretty bad, haven't really optimized much yet (not sure how much we can improve it yet, this usually isn't easy) - sound isn't -great-, but the GBA audio sucks anyway :P - couple of known bugs (Sonic X video, etc.)

So ... let's connect it anyway! In the end, if we design it right, the only code difference should be one area where we mask by 15-bits instead of by 16-bits.

Update to v082r04 release. byuu says: 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 :/

Update to v094r09 release. byuu says: This will easily be the biggest diff in the history of higan. And not in a good way. * target-higan and target-loki have been blown away completely * nall and ruby massively updated * phoenix replaced with hiro (pretty near a total rewrite) * target-higan restarted using hiro (just a window for now) * all emulation cores updated to compile again * installation changed to not require root privileges (installs locally) For the foreseeable future (maybe even permanently?), the new higan UI will only build under Linux/BSD with GTK+ 2.20+. Probably the most likely route for Windows/OS X will be to try and figure out how to build hiro/GTK on those platforms, as awful as that would be. The other alternative would be to produce new UIs for those platforms ... which would actually be a good opportunity to make something much more user friendly. Being that I just started on this a few hours ago, that means that for at least a few weeks, don't expect to be able to actually play any games. Right now, you can pretty much just compile the binary and that's it. It's quite possible that some nall changes didn't produce compilation errors, but will produce runtime errors. So until the UI can actually load games, we won't know if anything is broken. But we should mostly be okay. It was mostly just trim<1> -> trim changes, moving to Hash::SHA256 (much cleaner), and patching some reckless memory copy functions enough to compile. Progress isn't going to be like it was before: I'm now dividing my time much thinner between studying and other hobbies. My aim this time is not to produce a binary for everyone to play games on. Rather, it's to keep the emulator alive. I want to be able to apply critical patches again. And I would also like the base of the emulator to live on, for use in other emulator frontends that utilize higan.

Update to v099r07 release. byuu says: Changelog: - (hopefully) fixed BS Memory and Sufami Turbo slot loading - ported GB, GBA, WS cores to use nall/vfs - completely removed loadRequest, saveRequest functionality from Emulator::Interface and ui-tomoko - loadRequest(folder) is now load(folder) - save states now use a shared Emulator::SerializerVersion string - whenever this is bumped, all older states will break; but this makes bumping state versions way easier - also, the version string makes it a lot easier to identify compatibility windows for save states - SNES PPU now uses uint16 vram[32768] for memory accesses [hex_usr] NOTE: Super Game Boy loading is currently broken, and I'm not entirely sure how to fix it :/ The file loading handoff was -really- complicated, and so I'm kind of at a loss ... so for now, don't try it. Everything else should theoretically work, so please report any bugs you find. So, this is pretty much it. I'd be very curious to hear feedback from people who objected to the old nall/stream design, whether they are happy with the new file loading system or think it could use further improvements. The 16-bit VRAM turned out to be a wash on performance (roughly the same as before. 1fps slower on Zelda 3, 1fps faster on Yoshi's Island.) The main reason for this was because Yoshi's Island was breaking horribly until I changed the vramRead, vramWrite functions to take uint15 instead of uint16. I suspect the issue is we're using uint16s in some areas now that need to be uint15, and this game is setting the VRAM address to 0x8000+, causing us to go out of bounds on memory accesses. But ...

Update to v082r18 release. byuu says: There we go, the GUI is nearly feature-complete once again. All cores now output their native video format (NES={emphasis}{palette}, SNES=BGR555, GameBoy={ bright, normal, darker, darkest }), and are transformed to RGB555 data that is passed to the video renderer. The video renderer then uses its internal palette to apply brightness/contrast/gamma/ramp adjustments and outputs in RGB888 color space. This does add in another rendering pass, unfortunately, but it's a necessary one for universal support. The plan is to adapt all filters to take RGB555 input, and output RGB555 data as well. By doing this, it will be possible to stack filters. However, it's a bit complicated: I need to plan how the stacking should occur (eg we never want to apply scanlines before HQ2x, etc.) Added input frequency adjustments for all three systems. I can easily get perfect video/audio sync on all three now, hooray. Long-term, it seems like we only really need one, and we can do a video/audio delta to get an adjusted value. But for now, this gets the job done. Added audio volume adjust. I left out the balance for now, since it's obviously impossible to balance the NES' single channel audio (I can duplicate the channel, and do twice the filtering work, but ... why?) I replaced NTSC/PAL TV mode selection with an "Enable Overscan" checkbox. On, you get 240 lines on NES+SNES. Off, you get 224 lines on NES+SNES. Also added aspect correction box back. I don't do that gross PAL distortion shit anymore, sorry PAL people. I just scale up the 54/47*(240/224) aspect correction for overscan off mode. All memory is loaded and saved now, for all three systems (hooray, now you can actually play Zelda 1&2.) Added all of the old bsnes hotkeys, with the exception of capture screenshot. May add again later. May come up with something a bit different for extra features. Re-added the NSS DIP switch setting window. Since geometry is saved, I didn't want to auto-hide rows, so now you'll see all eight possible DIPs, and the ones not used are grayed out. Ultimately, nobody will notice since we only have DIPs for ActRaiser NSS, and nobody's probably even using the XML file for that anyway. Whatever, it's nice to have anyway. Took FitzRoy's advice and single-item combo boxes on the input selection are disabled, so the user doesn't waste time checking them. I wanted to leave text so that you know there's not a problem. Qt disabled radio box items look almost exactly like enabled ones. Fixed lots of issues in phoenix and extended it a bit. But I was still having trouble with radio box grouping, so I said fuck it and made the panels show/hide based instead of append/remove based. That's all for stuff off the checklist, I did a bunch of other things I don't recall. So yeah, I'd say the GUI is 100% usable now. This is my opinion on how multi-platform GUIs should be done =) Oh, I figure I should mention, but the NES core is GPLv3, and all future SNES+GB releases will be as well. It's a move against Microsoft's Metro store.

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 :/

Update to v082r04 release. byuu says: 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.
