Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.
byuu says about r15:
EDIT: small bug in icarus with heuristics. Edit
core/super-famicom.cpp line 27:
if(/*auto*/ markup = cartridge.markup) {
Gotta remove that "auto" so that it returns valid markup.
Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v092 release.
In the release thread, byuu says:
The first official release of higan has been posted. higan is the
new name for bsnes, and it continues with the latter's version
numbering.
Note that as of now, bsnes still exists. It's a module distributed
inside of higan. bsnes is now specific to my SNES emulator.
Due to last minute changes to the emulator interface, and missing
support in ananke, I wasn't able to include Cydrak's Nintendo DS
emulator dasShiny in this build, but I hope to do so in the next
release.
http://code.google.com/p/higan/downloads/list
For both new and experienced users, please read the higan user guide
first:
http://byuu.org/higan/user-guide
In the v091 WIP thread, byuu says:
r15->r16:
- BS-X MaskROM handling (partial ... need to split bsx/flash away
from sfc/chip, restructure code - it requires tagging the base
cart markup for now, but it needs to parse the slotted cart
markup)
- phoenixflags / phoenixlink += -m32
- nall/sort stability
- if(input.poll(scancode[activeScancode]) == false) return;
- MSU1 / USART need to use interface->path(1)
- MSU1 needs to use Markup::Document, not XML::Document
- case-insensitive folder listings
- remove nall/emulation/system.hpp files (move to ananke)
- remove rom/ram id= checks with indexing
X have cores ask for manifest.bml (skipped for v092's release, too
big a change)
- rename compatibility profile to balanced (so people don't assume
it has better compatibility than accuracy)

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Update to v091r11 release.
byuu says:
This release refines HSU1 support as a bidirectional protocol, nests SFC
manifests as "release/cartridge" and "release/information" (but release/
is not guaranteed to be finalized just yet), removes the database
integration, and adds support for ananke.
ananke represents inevitability. It's a library that, when installed,
higan can use to load files from the command-line, and also from a new
File -> Load Game menu option.
I need to change the build rules a bit for it to work on Windows (need
to make phoenix a DLL, basically), but it works now on Linux.
Right now, it only takes *.sfc file names, looks them up in the included
database, converts them to game folders, and returns the game folder
path for higan to load.
The idea is to continue expanding it to support everything we can that
I don't want in the higan core:
- load *.sfc, *.smc, *.swc, *.fig files
- remove SNES copier headers
- split apart merged firmware files
- pull in external firmware files (eg dsp1b.rom - these are staying
merged, just as SPC7110 prg+dat are merged)
- load *.zip and *.7z archives
- prompt for selection on multi-file archives
- generate manifest files based on heuristics
- apply BPS patches
The "Load" menu option has been renamed to "Library", to represent games
in your library. I'm going to add some sort of suffix to indicate
unverified games, and use a different folder icon for those (eg
manifests built on heuristics rather than from the database.)
So basically, to future end users:
File -> Load Game will be how they play games.
Library -> (specific system) can be thought of as an infinitely-sized
recent games list.
purify will likely become a simple stub that invokes ananke's functions.
No reason to duplicate all that code.

- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping

map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to

Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

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.

I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94

Update to v094r17 release.

This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files

I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the

Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new

Update to v082r29 release.

I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Changelog:
- phoenix has added Window::setModal(bool modal = true);
- file dialog is now modal. This allows emulation cores to request data
and get it immediately before continuing the loading process
- save data is hooked up for most systems, still need to handle
subsystem slot saves (Sufami Turbo, basically.)
- toggle fullscreen key binding added (Alt+Enter for now. I think F11 is
probably better though, Enter is often mapped to game start button.)
- video scaling is in (center, scale, stretch), works the same in
windowed and fullscreen mode (stretch hides resize window option), all
in the settings menu now
- enough structure to map all saved paths for the browser and to load
BS-X slotted carts, BS-X carts, single Sufami Turbo carts
Caveats / Missing:
- Super Game Boy input doesn't work yet (due to change in callback
binding)
- doesn't load secondary Sufami Turbo slot yet
- BS-X BIOS isn't show the data pack games to load for some reason (ugh,
I hate the shit out of debugging BS-X stuff ...)
- need mute audio, sync audio+video toggle, save/load state menu and
quick keys, XML mapping information window
- need cheat editor and cheat database
- need state manager
- need to sort subsystems below main systems in load menu (basically
just see if media.slot.size() > 0)
- need video shaders (will probably leave off filters for the time being
... due to that 24/30-bit thing)
- need video adjustments (contrast etc, overscan masks)
- need audio adjustments (frequency, latency, resampler, volume,
per-system frequency)
- need driver selection and input focus policy (driver crash detection
would be nice too)
- need NSS DIP switch settings (that one will be really fun)
- need to save and load window geometry settings
- need to hook up controller selection (won't be fun), create a map to
hide controllers with no inputs to reassign

Update to v097r12 release.
byuu says:
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.

boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.
byuu says about r15:
EDIT: small bug in icarus with heuristics. Edit
core/super-famicom.cpp line 27:
if(/*auto*/ markup = cartridge.markup) {
Gotta remove that "auto" so that it returns valid markup.
Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Update to v089r17 release.
byuu says:
This implements the spec from the XML part 3 thread:
http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2998
It's also propagated the changes to nall and purify, so you can test
this one.
This is basically it, after years of effort I feel I finally have
a fully consistent and logical XML board format.
The only things left to change will be: modifications if emulation turns
out to be incorrect (eg we missed some MMIO mirrors, or mirrored too
much), and new additions.
And of course, I'm giving it a bit of time for good arguments against
the format.
Other than that, this release removes linear_vector and pointer_vector,
as vector is better than linear_vector and I've never used
pointer_vector.
vector also gets move(), which is a way to use move-semantics across
types. It lets you steal the underlying memory pool, effectively
destroying the vector without a copy.
This works really nicely with the move for read() functions to return
vector<uint8> instead of taking (uint8_t*&, unsigned&) parameters.

Update to v089r17 release.
byuu says:
This implements the spec from the XML part 3 thread:
http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2998
It's also propagated the changes to nall and purify, so you can test
this one.
This is basically it, after years of effort I feel I finally have
a fully consistent and logical XML board format.
The only things left to change will be: modifications if emulation turns
out to be incorrect (eg we missed some MMIO mirrors, or mirrored too
much), and new additions.
And of course, I'm giving it a bit of time for good arguments against
the format.
Other than that, this release removes linear_vector and pointer_vector,
as vector is better than linear_vector and I've never used
pointer_vector.
vector also gets move(), which is a way to use move-semantics across
types. It lets you steal the underlying memory pool, effectively
destroying the vector without a copy.
This works really nicely with the move for read() functions to return
vector<uint8> instead of taking (uint8_t*&, unsigned&) parameters.

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Also, part of the reason I haven't released a WIP ... but fuck it, I'm

I've added a skeleton driver to emulate Campus Challenge '92 and
Powerfest '94. There's no actual emulation, except for the stuff I can
glean from looking at the pictures of the board. It has a DSP-1 (so
SR/DR registers), four ROMs that map in and out, RAM, etc.
I've also added preliminary mapping to upload high scores to a website,

Powerfest '94. There's no actual emulation, except for the stuff I can
glean from looking at the pictures of the board. It has a DSP-1 (so
SR/DR registers), four ROMs that map in and out, RAM, etc.
I've also added preliminary mapping to upload high scores to a website,
but obviously I need the ROMs first.

Note: the Event sizes in icarus' SFC heuristics are wrong for appended
firmware. Change from 0xXX8000 to 0xXX2000 and it works fine. Will be
fixed in r18.
Added Sintendo's flickering fixes. The window one's a big help for

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.
byuu says about r15:
EDIT: small bug in icarus with heuristics. Edit
core/super-famicom.cpp line 27:
if(/*auto*/ markup = cartridge.markup) {
Gotta remove that "auto" so that it returns valid markup.
Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v089r17 release.
byuu says:
This implements the spec from the XML part 3 thread:
http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2998
It's also propagated the changes to nall and purify, so you can test
this one.
This is basically it, after years of effort I feel I finally have
a fully consistent and logical XML board format.
The only things left to change will be: modifications if emulation turns
out to be incorrect (eg we missed some MMIO mirrors, or mirrored too
much), and new additions.
And of course, I'm giving it a bit of time for good arguments against
the format.
Other than that, this release removes linear_vector and pointer_vector,
as vector is better than linear_vector and I've never used
pointer_vector.
vector also gets move(), which is a way to use move-semantics across
types. It lets you steal the underlying memory pool, effectively
destroying the vector without a copy.
This works really nicely with the move for read() functions to return
vector<uint8> instead of taking (uint8_t*&, unsigned&) parameters.

stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.
byuu says about r15:
EDIT: small bug in icarus with heuristics. Edit
core/super-famicom.cpp line 27:
if(/*auto*/ markup = cartridge.markup) {
Gotta remove that "auto" so that it returns valid markup.
Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v089r17 release.
byuu says:
This implements the spec from the XML part 3 thread:
http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2998
It's also propagated the changes to nall and purify, so you can test
this one.
This is basically it, after years of effort I feel I finally have
a fully consistent and logical XML board format.
The only things left to change will be: modifications if emulation turns
out to be incorrect (eg we missed some MMIO mirrors, or mirrored too
much), and new additions.
And of course, I'm giving it a bit of time for good arguments against
the format.
Other than that, this release removes linear_vector and pointer_vector,
as vector is better than linear_vector and I've never used
pointer_vector.
vector also gets move(), which is a way to use move-semantics across
types. It lets you steal the underlying memory pool, effectively
destroying the vector without a copy.
This works really nicely with the move for read() functions to return
vector<uint8> instead of taking (uint8_t*&, unsigned&) parameters.

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.
byuu says about r15:
EDIT: small bug in icarus with heuristics. Edit
core/super-famicom.cpp line 27:
if(/*auto*/ markup = cartridge.markup) {
Gotta remove that "auto" so that it returns valid markup.
Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v089r17 release.
byuu says:
This implements the spec from the XML part 3 thread:
http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2998
It's also propagated the changes to nall and purify, so you can test
this one.
This is basically it, after years of effort I feel I finally have
a fully consistent and logical XML board format.
The only things left to change will be: modifications if emulation turns
out to be incorrect (eg we missed some MMIO mirrors, or mirrored too
much), and new additions.
And of course, I'm giving it a bit of time for good arguments against
the format.
Other than that, this release removes linear_vector and pointer_vector,
as vector is better than linear_vector and I've never used
pointer_vector.
vector also gets move(), which is a way to use move-semantics across
types. It lets you steal the underlying memory pool, effectively
destroying the vector without a copy.
This works really nicely with the move for read() functions to return
vector<uint8> instead of taking (uint8_t*&, unsigned&) parameters.

I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v092 release.
In the release thread, byuu says:
The first official release of higan has been posted. higan is the
new name for bsnes, and it continues with the latter's version
numbering.
Note that as of now, bsnes still exists. It's a module distributed
inside of higan. bsnes is now specific to my SNES emulator.
Due to last minute changes to the emulator interface, and missing
support in ananke, I wasn't able to include Cydrak's Nintendo DS
emulator dasShiny in this build, but I hope to do so in the next
release.
http://code.google.com/p/higan/downloads/list
For both new and experienced users, please read the higan user guide
first:
http://byuu.org/higan/user-guide
In the v091 WIP thread, byuu says:
r15->r16:
- BS-X MaskROM handling (partial ... need to split bsx/flash away
from sfc/chip, restructure code - it requires tagging the base
cart markup for now, but it needs to parse the slotted cart
markup)
- phoenixflags / phoenixlink += -m32
- nall/sort stability
- if(input.poll(scancode[activeScancode]) == false) return;
- MSU1 / USART need to use interface->path(1)
- MSU1 needs to use Markup::Document, not XML::Document
- case-insensitive folder listings
- remove nall/emulation/system.hpp files (move to ananke)
- remove rom/ram id= checks with indexing
X have cores ask for manifest.bml (skipped for v092's release, too
big a change)
- rename compatibility profile to balanced (so people don't assume
it has better compatibility than accuracy)

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.

Update to v089r17 release.
byuu says:
This implements the spec from the XML part 3 thread:
http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2998
It's also propagated the changes to nall and purify, so you can test
this one.
This is basically it, after years of effort I feel I finally have
a fully consistent and logical XML board format.
The only things left to change will be: modifications if emulation turns
out to be incorrect (eg we missed some MMIO mirrors, or mirrored too
much), and new additions.
And of course, I'm giving it a bit of time for good arguments against
the format.
Other than that, this release removes linear_vector and pointer_vector,
as vector is better than linear_vector and I've never used
pointer_vector.
vector also gets move(), which is a way to use move-semantics across
types. It lets you steal the underlying memory pool, effectively
destroying the vector without a copy.
This works really nicely with the move for read() functions to return
vector<uint8> instead of taking (uint8_t*&, unsigned&) parameters.

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.
byuu says about r15:
EDIT: small bug in icarus with heuristics. Edit
core/super-famicom.cpp line 27:
if(/*auto*/ markup = cartridge.markup) {
Gotta remove that "auto" so that it returns valid markup.
Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Update to v088r11 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- phoenix has added Window::setModal(bool modal = true);
- file dialog is now modal. This allows emulation cores to request data
and get it immediately before continuing the loading process
- save data is hooked up for most systems, still need to handle
subsystem slot saves (Sufami Turbo, basically.)
- toggle fullscreen key binding added (Alt+Enter for now. I think F11 is
probably better though, Enter is often mapped to game start button.)
- video scaling is in (center, scale, stretch), works the same in
windowed and fullscreen mode (stretch hides resize window option), all
in the settings menu now
- enough structure to map all saved paths for the browser and to load
BS-X slotted carts, BS-X carts, single Sufami Turbo carts
Caveats / Missing:
- Super Game Boy input doesn't work yet (due to change in callback
binding)
- doesn't load secondary Sufami Turbo slot yet
- BS-X BIOS isn't show the data pack games to load for some reason (ugh,
I hate the shit out of debugging BS-X stuff ...)
- need mute audio, sync audio+video toggle, save/load state menu and
quick keys, XML mapping information window
- need cheat editor and cheat database
- need state manager
- need to sort subsystems below main systems in load menu (basically
just see if media.slot.size() > 0)
- need video shaders (will probably leave off filters for the time being
... due to that 24/30-bit thing)
- need video adjustments (contrast etc, overscan masks)
- need audio adjustments (frequency, latency, resampler, volume,
per-system frequency)
- need driver selection and input focus policy (driver crash detection
would be nice too)
- need NSS DIP switch settings (that one will be really fun)
- need to save and load window geometry settings
- need to hook up controller selection (won't be fun), create a map to
hide controllers with no inputs to reassign

stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.
byuu says about r15:
EDIT: small bug in icarus with heuristics. Edit
core/super-famicom.cpp line 27:
if(/*auto*/ markup = cartridge.markup) {
Gotta remove that "auto" so that it returns valid markup.
Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v089r17 release.
byuu says:
This implements the spec from the XML part 3 thread:
http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2998
It's also propagated the changes to nall and purify, so you can test
this one.
This is basically it, after years of effort I feel I finally have
a fully consistent and logical XML board format.
The only things left to change will be: modifications if emulation turns
out to be incorrect (eg we missed some MMIO mirrors, or mirrored too
much), and new additions.
And of course, I'm giving it a bit of time for good arguments against
the format.
Other than that, this release removes linear_vector and pointer_vector,
as vector is better than linear_vector and I've never used
pointer_vector.
vector also gets move(), which is a way to use move-semantics across
types. It lets you steal the underlying memory pool, effectively
destroying the vector without a copy.
This works really nicely with the move for read() functions to return
vector<uint8> instead of taking (uint8_t*&, unsigned&) parameters.

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just

I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.

Gotta remove that "auto" so that it returns valid markup.
Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

byuu says:
This implements the spec from the XML part 3 thread:
http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2998
It's also propagated the changes to nall and purify, so you can test
this one.
This is basically it, after years of effort I feel I finally have
a fully consistent and logical XML board format.
The only things left to change will be: modifications if emulation turns
out to be incorrect (eg we missed some MMIO mirrors, or mirrored too
much), and new additions.
And of course, I'm giving it a bit of time for good arguments against
the format.
Other than that, this release removes linear_vector and pointer_vector,
as vector is better than linear_vector and I've never used
pointer_vector.
vector also gets move(), which is a way to use move-semantics across
types. It lets you steal the underlying memory pool, effectively
destroying the vector without a copy.
This works really nicely with the move for read() functions to return
vector<uint8> instead of taking (uint8_t*&, unsigned&) parameters.

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.
byuu says about r15:
EDIT: small bug in icarus with heuristics. Edit
core/super-famicom.cpp line 27:
if(/*auto*/ markup = cartridge.markup) {
Gotta remove that "auto" so that it returns valid markup.
Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Update to v089r17 release.
byuu says:
This implements the spec from the XML part 3 thread:
http://board.byuu.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2998
It's also propagated the changes to nall and purify, so you can test
this one.
This is basically it, after years of effort I feel I finally have
a fully consistent and logical XML board format.
The only things left to change will be: modifications if emulation turns
out to be incorrect (eg we missed some MMIO mirrors, or mirrored too
much), and new additions.
And of course, I'm giving it a bit of time for good arguments against
the format.
Other than that, this release removes linear_vector and pointer_vector,
as vector is better than linear_vector and I've never used
pointer_vector.
vector also gets move(), which is a way to use move-semantics across
types. It lets you steal the underlying memory pool, effectively
destroying the vector without a copy.
This works really nicely with the move for read() functions to return
vector<uint8> instead of taking (uint8_t*&, unsigned&) parameters.

I'm most concerned about testing one of each SNES special chip game.
Most notably, systems like the SA-1, HitachiDSP and NEC-DSP were using
the fancier lookups, eg node["rom[0]/name"], which I had to convert to
a rather ugly node["rom"].at(0)["name"], which I'm fairly confident
won't work. I'm going to blame that on the fumes from the shelves I just
stained >.> Might work with node.find("rom[0]/name")(0) though ...? But
so ugly ... ugh.
That aside, this WIP adds the accuracy-PPU inlining, so the accuracy
profile should run around 7.5% faster than before.

Update to higan and icarus v095r15 release.
r13 and r14 weren't posted as individual releases, but their changelogs
were posted.
byuu says about r13:
I'm not going to be posting WIPs for r13 and above for a while.
The reason is that I'm working on the major manifest overhaul I've
discussed previously on the icarus subforum.
I'm recreating my boards database from scratch using the map files
and the new map analyzer. The only games that will load are ones
I've created board definitions for, and updated
sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp to parse. Once I've finished all the
boards, then I'll update the heuristics.
Then finally, I'll sync the syntax changes over to the fc, gb, gba
cores.
Once that's done, I'll start posting WIPs again, along with a new
build of icarus.
But I'll still post changelogs as I work through things.
Changelog (r13):
- preservation: created new database-builder tool (merges
region-specific databases with boards)
- icarus: support new, external database format
(~/.config/icarus/Database/(Super Famicom.bml, ...)
- added 1A3B-(10,11,12); 1A3B-20
byuu says about r14:
r14 work:
I successfully created mappings for every board used in the US set.
I also updated icarus' heuristics to use the new mappings, and
created ones there for the boards that are only in the JP set.
Then I patched icarus to support pulling games out of the database
when it's used on a game folder to generate a manifest file.
Then I updated a lot of code in higan/sfc to support the new mapping
syntax. sfc/cartridge/markup.cpp is about half the size it used to
be with the new mappings, and I was able to kill off both map/id and
map/select entirely.
Then I updated all four emulated systems (and both subsystems) to
use "board" as the root node, and harmonized their syntax (made them
all more consistent with each other.)
Then I added a manifest viewer to the tools window+menu. It's kind
of an advanced user feature, but oh well. No reason to coddle people
when the feature is very useful for developers. The viewer will show
all manifests in order when you load multi-cart games as well.
Still not going to call any syntax 100% done right now, but
thankfully with the new manifest-free folders, nobody will have to
do anything to use the new format. Just download the new version and
go.
The Super Famicom Event stuff is currently broken (CC92/PF94
boards). That's gonna be fun to support.
byuu says about r15:
EDIT: small bug in icarus with heuristics. Edit
core/super-famicom.cpp line 27:
if(/*auto*/ markup = cartridge.markup) {
Gotta remove that "auto" so that it returns valid markup.
Resolved the final concerns I had with the new manifest format.
Right now there are two things that are definitely broken: MCC (BS-X
Town cart) and Event (CC '92 and PF'94).
And there are a few things that are untested: SPC7110, EpsonRTC,
SharpRTC, SDD1+RAM, SufamiTurbo, BS-X slotted carts.

Update to v082r29 release.
byuu says:
I doubt anyone is going to like these changes, but oh well.
The base height output for NES+SNES is now always 256x240. The Enable
Overscan option blanks out borders around the screen. This eliminates
the need for an overscan software filter. For NES, it's 16px from the
top and bottom, and 8px from the left and right. Anything less and you
get scrolling artifacts in countless games. For the SNES, it's only 16px
from the top and bottom. Main point is that most NTSC SNES games are
224-height games, so you'll have black borders. Oh well, hack the source
if you want. Game Boy overscan option does nothing.
Everything except for the cheats.xml file now uses BML markup. I need to
write a converter for cheats.xml still. Cut the SNES board parsing code
in half, 30KB->16KB. Much cleaner now.
Took the opportunity to fix a mistake I made back with the XML spec: all
numbers are integers, but can be prefixed with 0x to become hexadecimal.
Before, offset/size values defaulted to hex-mode even without a prefix,
unlike frequency/etc values.
The XML shaders have gone in their own direction anyway, with most being
multi-pass and incompatible with bsnes. So that said, please don't
extend the BML functionality from your end. But f eel free to add to the
XML spec, since other emulators now use that as well. And don't
misunderstand, I love the work that's being done there. It's pretty
awesome to see multi-pass shader capabilities, and the RAM watching
stuff is just amazing.
If there are any really awesome single-pass shaders that people would
like, I can convert it from XML and include it with future releases.
On that topic, I removed the watercolor/hdr-tv ones from the binary
packages (still in the source archive) ... they are neat, but not very
useful for actual gaming.
If we had more than one, I'd remove the Direct3D sepia one. Not going to
use shaders from a certain bipolar manic, because I'd never hear the end
of it if I did :/
Oh, one change I think people will like: MSU1 no longer requires
a memory map specification, so MSU1 authors won't have to keep updating
to my newer revisions of board markups. Basically, if there's not
a board with an msu1 section, it'll check if "gamename.msu" exists. If
it does, MSU1 gets mapped to 00-3f,80-bf:2000-2007. If all you want is
music, make a blank, zero-byte gamename.msu file.

Update to v094r17 release.
byuu says:
This updates higan to use the new Markup::Node changes. This is a really
big change, and one slight typo anywhere could break certain classes of
games from playing.
I don't have ananke hooked up again yet, so I don't have the ability to
test this much. If anyone with some v094 game folders wouldn't mind
testing, I'd help out a great deal.
