Update to v100r02 release. byuu says: Sigh ... I'm really not a good person. I'm inherently selfish. My responsibility and obligation right now is to work on loki, and then on the Tengai Makyou Zero translation, and then on improving the Famicom emulation. And yet ... it's not what I really want to do. That shouldn't matter; I should work on my responsibilities first. Instead, I'm going to be a greedy, self-centered asshole, and work on what I really want to instead. I'm really sorry, guys. I'm sure this will make a few people happy, and probably upset even more people. I'm also making zero guarantees that this ever gets finished. As always, I wish I could keep these things secret, so if I fail / give up, I could just drop it with no shame. But I would have to cut everyone out of the WIP process completely to make it happen. So, here goes ... This WIP adds the initial skeleton for Sega Mega Drive / Genesis emulation. God help us. (minor note: apparently the new extension for Mega Drive games is .md, neat. That's what I chose for the folders too. I thought it was .smd, so that'll be fixed in icarus for the next WIP.) (aside: this is why I wanted to get v100 out. I didn't want this code in a skeleton state in v100's source. Nor did I want really broken emulation, which the first release is sure to be, tarring said release.) ... So, basically, I've been ruminating on the legacy I want to leave behind with higan. 3D systems are just plain out. I'm never going to support them. They're too complex for my abilities, and they would run too slowly with my design style. I'm not willing to compromise my design ideals. And I would never want to play a 3D game system at native 240p/480i resolution ... but 1080p+ upscaling is not accurate, so that's a conflict I want to avoid entirely. It's also never going to emulate computer systems (X68K, PC-98, FM-Towns, etc) because holy shit that would completely destroy me. It's also never going emulate arcade machines. So I think of higan as a collection of 2D emulators for consoles and handhelds. I've gone over every major 2D gaming system there is, looking for ones with games I actually care about and enjoy. And I basically have five of those systems supported already. Looking at the remaining list, I see only three systems left that I have any interest in whatsoever: PC-Engine, Master System, Mega Drive. Again, I'm not in any way committing to emulating any of these, but ... if I had all of those in higan, I think I'd be content to really, truly, finally stop writing more emulators for the rest of my life. And so I decided to tackle the most difficult system first. If I'm successful, the Z80 core should cover a lot of the work on the SMS. And the HuC6280 should land somewhere between the NES and SNES in terms of difficulty ... closer to the NES. The systems that just don't appeal to me at all, which I will never touch, include, but are not limited to: * Atari 2600/5200/7800 * Lynx * Jaguar * Vectrex * Colecovision * Commodore 64 * Neo-Geo * Neo-Geo Pocket / Color * Virtual Boy * Super A'can * 32X * CD-i * etc, etc, etc. And really, even if something were mildly interesting in there ... we have to stop. I can't scale infinitely. I'm already way past my limit, but I'm doing this anyway. Too many cores bloats everything and kills quality on everything. I don't want higan to become MESS v2. I don't know what I'll do about the Famicom Disk System, PC-Engine CD, and Mega CD. I don't think I'll be able to achieve 60fps emulating the Mega CD, even if I tried to. I don't know what's going to happen here with even the Mega Drive. Maybe I'll get driven crazy with the documentation and quit. Maybe it'll end up being too complicated and I'll quit. Maybe the emulation will end up way too slow and I'll give up. Maybe it'll take me seven years to get any games playable at all. Maybe Steve Snake, AamirM and Mike Pavone will pool money to hire a hitman to come after me. Who knows. But this is what I want to do, so ... here goes nothing.

Update to v102r16 release. byuu says: Changelog: - Emulator::Stream now allows adding low-pass and high-pass filters dynamically - also accepts a pass# count; each pass is a second-order biquad butterworth IIR filter - Emulator::Stream no longer automatically filters out >20KHz frequencies for all streams - FC: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter - GB: removed simple 'magic constant' high-pass filter of unknown cutoff frequency (missed this one in the last WIP) - GB,SGB,GBC: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter - MS,GG,MD/PSG: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter - MD: added save state support (but it's completely broken for now; sorry) - MD/YM2612: fixed Voice#3 per-operator pitch support (fixes sound effects in Streets of Rage, etc) - PCE: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter - WS,WSC: added 20Hz high-pass filter; 20KHz low-pass filter So, the point of the low-pass filters is to remove frequencies above human hearing. If we don't do this, then resampling will introduce aliasing that results in sounds that are audible to the human ear. Which basically an annoying buzzing sound. You'll definitely hear the improvement from these in games like Mega Man 2 on the NES. Of course, these already existed before, so this WIP won't sound better than previous WIPs. The high-pass filters are a little more complicated. Their main role is to remove DC bias and help to center the audio stream. I don't understand how they do this at all, but ... that's what everyone who knows what they're talking about says, thus ... so be it. I have set all of the high-pass filters to 20Hz, which is below the limit of human hearing. Now this is where it gets really interesting ... technically, some of these systems actually cut off a lot of range. For instance, the GBA should technically use an 800Hz high-pass filter when output is done through the system's speakers. But of course, if you plug in headphones, you can hear the lower frequencies. Now 800Hz ... you definitely can hear. At that level, nearly all of the bass is stripped out and the audio is very tinny. Just like the real system. But for now, I don't want to emulate the audio being crushed that badly. I'm sticking with 20Hz everywhere since it won't negatively affect audio quality. In fact, you should not be able to hear any difference between this WIP and the previous WIP. But theoretically, DC bias should mostly be removed as a result of these new filters. It may be that we need to raise the values on some cores in the future, but I don't want to do that until we know for certain that we have to. What I can say is that compared to even older WIPs than r15 ... the removal of the simple one-pole low-pass and high-pass filters with the newer three-pass, second-order filters should result in much better attenuation (less distortion of audible frequencies.) Probably not enough to be noticeable in a blind test, though.

Update to v102r28 release. byuu says: Changelog: - higan: `Emulator::<Platform::load>()` now returns a struct containing both a path ID and a string option - higan: `Emulator::<Platform::load>()` now takes an optional final argument of string options - fc: added PAL emulation (finally, only took six years) - md: added PAL emulation - md: fixed address parameter to `VDP::Sprite::write()`; fixes missing sprites in Super Street Fighter II - md: emulated HIRQ counter; fixes many games - Super Street Fighter II - status bar - Altered Beast - status bar - Sonic the Hedgehog - Labyrinth Zone - water effect - etc. - ms: added PAL emulation - sfc: added the ability to override the default region auto-detection - sfc: removed "system.region" override setting from `Super Famicom.sys` - tomoko: added options list to game folder load dialog window - tomoko: added the ability to specify game folder load options on the command-line So, basically ... Sega forced a change with the way region detection works. You end up with games that can run on multiple regions, and the content changes accordingly. Bare Knuckle in NTSC-J mode will become Streets of Rage in NTSC-U mode. Some games can even run in both NTSC and PAL mode. In my view, there should be a separate ROM for each region a game was released in, even if the ROM content were identical. But unfortunately that's not how things were done by anyone else. So to support this, the higan load dialog now has a drop-down at the bottom-right, where you can choose the region to load games from. On the SNES, it defaults to "Auto", which will pull the region setting from the manifest, or fall back on NTSC. On the Mega Drive ... unfortunately, I can't auto-detect the region from the ROM header. $1f0 is supposed to contain a string like "JUE", but instead you get games like Maui Mallard that put an "A" there, and other such nonsense. Sega was far more lax than Nintendo with the ROM header validity. So for now at least, you have to manually select your region every time you play a Mega Drive game, thus you have "NTSC-J", "NTSC-U", and "PAL". The same goes for the Master System for the same reason, but there's only "NTSC" and "PAL" here. I'm not sure if games have a way to detect domestic vs international consoles. And for now ... the Famicom is the same as well, with no auto-detection. I'd sincerely hope iNES has a header bit for the region, but I didn't bother with updating icarus to support that yet. The way to pass these parameters on the command-line is to prefix the game path with "option:", so for example:    higan "PAL:/path/to/Sonic the Hedgehog (USA, Europe).md" If you don't provide a prefix, it uses the default (NTSC-J, NTSC, or Auto.) Obviously, it's not possible to pass parameters with drag-and-drop, so you will always get the default option in said case.

I didn't want this code in a skeleton state in v100's source. Nor did I want really broken emulation, which the first release is sure to be, tarring said release.) ... So, basically, I've been ruminating on the legacy I want to leave behind with higan. 3D systems are just plain out. I'm never going to support them. They're too complex for my abilities, and they would run too slowly with my design style. I'm not willing to compromise my design ideals. And I would never want to play a 3D game system at native 240p/480i resolution ... but 1080p+ upscaling is not accurate, so that's a conflict I want to avoid entirely. It's also never going to emulate computer systems (X68K, PC-98, FM-Towns, etc) because holy shit that would completely destroy me. It's also never going emulate arcade machines. So I think of higan as a collection of 2D emulators for consoles and handhelds. I've gone over every major 2D gaming system there is, looking for ones with games I actually care about and enjoy. And I basically have five of those systems supported already. Looking at the remaining list, I see only three systems left that I have any interest in whatsoever: PC-Engine, Master System, Mega Drive. Again, I'm not in any way committing to emulating any of these, but ... if I had all of those in higan, I think I'd be content to really, truly, finally stop writing more emulators for the rest of my life. And so I decided to tackle the most difficult system first. If I'm successful, the Z80 core should cover a lot of the work on the SMS. And the HuC6280 should land somewhere between the NES and SNES in terms of difficulty ... closer to the NES. The systems that just don't appeal to me at all, which I will never touch, include, but are not limited to: * Atari 2600/5200/7800 * Lynx * Jaguar * Vectrex * Colecovision * Commodore 64 * Neo-Geo * Neo-Geo Pocket / Color * Virtual Boy * Super A'can * 32X * CD-i * etc, etc, etc. And really, even if something were mildly interesting in there ... we have to stop. I can't scale infinitely. I'm already way past my limit, but I'm doing this anyway. Too many cores bloats everything and kills quality on everything. I don't want higan to become MESS v2. I don't know what I'll do about the Famicom Disk System, PC-Engine CD, and Mega CD. I don't think I'll be able to achieve 60fps emulating the Mega CD, even if I tried to. I don't know what's going to happen here with even the Mega Drive. Maybe I'll get driven crazy with the documentation and quit. Maybe it'll end up being too complicated and I'll quit. Maybe the emulation will end up way too slow and I'll give up. Maybe it'll take me seven years to get any games playable at all. Maybe Steve Snake, AamirM and Mike Pavone will pool money to hire a hitman to come after me. Who knows. But this is what I want to do, so ... here goes nothing.

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

Update to v102r17 release. byuu says: Changelog: - GBA: process audio at 2MHz instead of 32KHz¹ - MD: do not allow the 68K to stop the Z80, unless it has been granted bus access first - MD: do not reset bus requested/granted signals when the 68K resets the Z80 - the above two fix The Lost Vikings - MD: clean up the bus address decoding to be more readable - MD: add support for a13000-a130ff (#TIME) region; pass to cartridge I/O² - MD: emulate SRAM mapping used by >16mbit games; bank mapping used by >32mbit games³ - MD: add 'reset pending' flag so that loading save states won't reload 68K PC, SP registers - this fixes save state support ... mostly⁴ - MD: if DMA is not enabled, do not allow CD5 to be set [Cydrak] - this fixes in-game graphics for Ristar. Title screen still corrupted on first run - MD: detect and break sprite lists that form an infinite loop [Cydrak] - this fixes the emulator from dead-locking on certain games - MD: add DC offset to sign DAC PCM samples [Cydrak] - this improves audio in Sonic 3 - MD: 68K TAS has a hardware bug that prevents writing the result back to RAM - this fixes Gargoyles - MD: 68K TRAP should not change CPU interrupt level - this fixes Shining Force II, Shining in the Darkness, etc - icarus: better SRAM heuristics for Mega Drive games Todo: - need to serialize the new cartridge ramEnable, ramWritable, bank variables ¹: so technically, the GBA has its FIFO queue (raw PCM), plus a GB chipset. The GB audio runs at 2MHz. However, I was being lazy and running the sequencer 64 times in a row, thus decimating the audio to 32KHz. But simply discarding 63 out of every 64 samples resorts in muddier sound with more static in it. However ... increasing the audio thread processing intensity 64-fold, and requiring heavy-duty three-chain lowpass and highpass filters is not cheap. For this bump in sound quality, we're eating a loss of about 30% of previous performance. Also note that the GB audio emulation in the GBA core still lacks many of the improvements made to the GB core. I was hoping to complete the GB enhancements, but it seems like I'm never going to pass blargg's psychotic edge case tests. So, first I want to clean up the GB audio to my current coding standards, and then I'll port that over to the GBA, which should further increase sound quality. At that point, it sound exceed mGBA's audio quality (due to the ridiculously high sampling rate and strong-attenuation audio filtering.) ²: word writes are probably not handled correctly ... but games are only supposed to do byte writes here. ³: the SRAM mapping is used by games like "Story of Thor" and "Phantasy Star IV." Unfortunately, the former wasn't released in the US and is region protected. So you'll need to change the NTSU to NTSCJ in md/system/system.cpp in order to boot it. But it does work nicely now. The write protection bit is cleared in the game, and then it fails to write to SRAM (soooooooo many games with SRAM write protection do this), so for now I've had to disable checking that bit. Phantasy Star IV has a US release, but sadly the game doesn't boot yet. Hitting some other bug. The bank mapping is pretty much just for the 40mbit Super Street Fighter game. It shows the Sega and Capcom logos now, but is hitting yet another bug and deadlocking. For now, I emulate the SRAM/bank mapping registers on all cartridges, and set sane defaults. So long as games don't write to $a130XX, they should all continue to work. But obviously, we need to get to a point where higan/icarus can selectively enable these registers on a per-game basis. ⁴: so, the Mega Drive has various ways to lock a chip until another chip releases it. The VDP can lock the 68K, the 68K can lock the Z80, etc. If this happens when you save a state, it'll dead-lock the emulator. So that's obviously a problem that needs to be fixed. The fix will be nasty ... basically, bypassing the dead-lock, creating a miniature, one-instruction-long race condition. Extremely unlikely to cause any issues in practice (it's only a little worse than the SNES CPU/SMP desync), but ... there's nothing I can do about it. So you'll have to take it or leave it. But yeah, for now, save states may lock up the emulator. I need to add code to break the loops when in the process of creating a save state still.

I've been seeing conflicting notes on whether the VRAM fill buffer is 8-bits or 16-bits (I chose 8-bits), and on whether you write the low byte and then high byte of each words, or the high byte and then low byte (I chose the latter.) The VRAM copy improvements fix the opening text in Langrisser II, so that's great. ⁶: Langrisser II sets the transfer length to one less than needed to fill the background letter tile on the scenario overview screen. After moving to byte-sized transfers, a black pixel was getting stuck there. So effectively, VRAM fill length becomes DMA length + 1, and the first byte uses the data port so it writes a word value instead of just a byte value. Hopefully this is all correct, although it probably gets way more complicated with the VDP FIFO.

Update to v101r04 release. byuu says: Changelog: - pulled the (u)intN type aliases into higan instead of leaving them in nall - added 68K LINEA, LINEF hooks for illegal instructions - filled the rest of the 68K lambda table with generic instance of ILLEGAL - completed the 68K disassembler effective addressing modes - still unsure whether I should use An to decode absolute addresses or not - pro: way easier to read where accesses are taking place - con: requires An to be valid; so as a disassembler it does a poor job - making it optional: too much work; ick - added I/O decoding for the VDP command-port registers - added skeleton timing to all five processor cores - output at 1280x480 (needed for mixed 256/320 widths; and to handle interlace modes) The VDP, PSG, Z80, YM2612 are all stepping one clock at a time and syncing; which is the pathological worst case for libco. But they also have no logic inside of them. With all the above, I'm averaging around 250fps with just the 68K core actually functional, and the VDP doing a dumb "draw white pixels" loop. Still way too early to tell how this emulator is going to perform. Also, the 320x240 mode of the Genesis means that we don't need an aspect correction ratio. But we do need to ensure the output window is a multiple 320x240 so that the scale values work correctly. I was hard-coding aspect correction to stretch the window an additional \*8/7. But that won't work anymore so ... the main higan window is now 640x480, 960x720, or 1280x960. Toggling aspect correction only changes the video width inside the window. It's a bit jarring ... the window is a lot wider, more black space now for most modes. But for now, it is what it is.

Update to v102r17 release. byuu says: Changelog: - GBA: process audio at 2MHz instead of 32KHz¹ - MD: do not allow the 68K to stop the Z80, unless it has been granted bus access first - MD: do not reset bus requested/granted signals when the 68K resets the Z80 - the above two fix The Lost Vikings - MD: clean up the bus address decoding to be more readable - MD: add support for a13000-a130ff (#TIME) region; pass to cartridge I/O² - MD: emulate SRAM mapping used by >16mbit games; bank mapping used by >32mbit games³ - MD: add 'reset pending' flag so that loading save states won't reload 68K PC, SP registers - this fixes save state support ... mostly⁴ - MD: if DMA is not enabled, do not allow CD5 to be set [Cydrak] - this fixes in-game graphics for Ristar. Title screen still corrupted on first run - MD: detect and break sprite lists that form an infinite loop [Cydrak] - this fixes the emulator from dead-locking on certain games - MD: add DC offset to sign DAC PCM samples [Cydrak] - this improves audio in Sonic 3 - MD: 68K TAS has a hardware bug that prevents writing the result back to RAM - this fixes Gargoyles - MD: 68K TRAP should not change CPU interrupt level - this fixes Shining Force II, Shining in the Darkness, etc - icarus: better SRAM heuristics for Mega Drive games Todo: - need to serialize the new cartridge ramEnable, ramWritable, bank variables ¹: so technically, the GBA has its FIFO queue (raw PCM), plus a GB chipset. The GB audio runs at 2MHz. However, I was being lazy and running the sequencer 64 times in a row, thus decimating the audio to 32KHz. But simply discarding 63 out of every 64 samples resorts in muddier sound with more static in it. However ... increasing the audio thread processing intensity 64-fold, and requiring heavy-duty three-chain lowpass and highpass filters is not cheap. For this bump in sound quality, we're eating a loss of about 30% of previous performance. Also note that the GB audio emulation in the GBA core still lacks many of the improvements made to the GB core. I was hoping to complete the GB enhancements, but it seems like I'm never going to pass blargg's psychotic edge case tests. So, first I want to clean up the GB audio to my current coding standards, and then I'll port that over to the GBA, which should further increase sound quality. At that point, it sound exceed mGBA's audio quality (due to the ridiculously high sampling rate and strong-attenuation audio filtering.) ²: word writes are probably not handled correctly ... but games are only supposed to do byte writes here. ³: the SRAM mapping is used by games like "Story of Thor" and "Phantasy Star IV." Unfortunately, the former wasn't released in the US and is region protected. So you'll need to change the NTSU to NTSCJ in md/system/system.cpp in order to boot it. But it does work nicely now. The write protection bit is cleared in the game, and then it fails to write to SRAM (soooooooo many games with SRAM write protection do this), so for now I've had to disable checking that bit. Phantasy Star IV has a US release, but sadly the game doesn't boot yet. Hitting some other bug. The bank mapping is pretty much just for the 40mbit Super Street Fighter game. It shows the Sega and Capcom logos now, but is hitting yet another bug and deadlocking. For now, I emulate the SRAM/bank mapping registers on all cartridges, and set sane defaults. So long as games don't write to $a130XX, they should all continue to work. But obviously, we need to get to a point where higan/icarus can selectively enable these registers on a per-game basis. ⁴: so, the Mega Drive has various ways to lock a chip until another chip releases it. The VDP can lock the 68K, the 68K can lock the Z80, etc. If this happens when you save a state, it'll dead-lock the emulator. So that's obviously a problem that needs to be fixed. The fix will be nasty ... basically, bypassing the dead-lock, creating a miniature, one-instruction-long race condition. Extremely unlikely to cause any issues in practice (it's only a little worse than the SNES CPU/SMP desync), but ... there's nothing I can do about it. So you'll have to take it or leave it. But yeah, for now, save states may lock up the emulator. I need to add code to break the loops when in the process of creating a save state still.

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

Update to v100r02 release. byuu says: Sigh ... I'm really not a good person. I'm inherently selfish. My responsibility and obligation right now is to work on loki, and then on the Tengai Makyou Zero translation, and then on improving the Famicom emulation. And yet ... it's not what I really want to do. That shouldn't matter; I should work on my responsibilities first. Instead, I'm going to be a greedy, self-centered asshole, and work on what I really want to instead. I'm really sorry, guys. I'm sure this will make a few people happy, and probably upset even more people. I'm also making zero guarantees that this ever gets finished. As always, I wish I could keep these things secret, so if I fail / give up, I could just drop it with no shame. But I would have to cut everyone out of the WIP process completely to make it happen. So, here goes ... This WIP adds the initial skeleton for Sega Mega Drive / Genesis emulation. God help us. (minor note: apparently the new extension for Mega Drive games is .md, neat. That's what I chose for the folders too. I thought it was .smd, so that'll be fixed in icarus for the next WIP.) (aside: this is why I wanted to get v100 out. I didn't want this code in a skeleton state in v100's source. Nor did I want really broken emulation, which the first release is sure to be, tarring said release.) ... So, basically, I've been ruminating on the legacy I want to leave behind with higan. 3D systems are just plain out. I'm never going to support them. They're too complex for my abilities, and they would run too slowly with my design style. I'm not willing to compromise my design ideals. And I would never want to play a 3D game system at native 240p/480i resolution ... but 1080p+ upscaling is not accurate, so that's a conflict I want to avoid entirely. It's also never going to emulate computer systems (X68K, PC-98, FM-Towns, etc) because holy shit that would completely destroy me. It's also never going emulate arcade machines. So I think of higan as a collection of 2D emulators for consoles and handhelds. I've gone over every major 2D gaming system there is, looking for ones with games I actually care about and enjoy. And I basically have five of those systems supported already. Looking at the remaining list, I see only three systems left that I have any interest in whatsoever: PC-Engine, Master System, Mega Drive. Again, I'm not in any way committing to emulating any of these, but ... if I had all of those in higan, I think I'd be content to really, truly, finally stop writing more emulators for the rest of my life. And so I decided to tackle the most difficult system first. If I'm successful, the Z80 core should cover a lot of the work on the SMS. And the HuC6280 should land somewhere between the NES and SNES in terms of difficulty ... closer to the NES. The systems that just don't appeal to me at all, which I will never touch, include, but are not limited to: * Atari 2600/5200/7800 * Lynx * Jaguar * Vectrex * Colecovision * Commodore 64 * Neo-Geo * Neo-Geo Pocket / Color * Virtual Boy * Super A'can * 32X * CD-i * etc, etc, etc. And really, even if something were mildly interesting in there ... we have to stop. I can't scale infinitely. I'm already way past my limit, but I'm doing this anyway. Too many cores bloats everything and kills quality on everything. I don't want higan to become MESS v2. I don't know what I'll do about the Famicom Disk System, PC-Engine CD, and Mega CD. I don't think I'll be able to achieve 60fps emulating the Mega CD, even if I tried to. I don't know what's going to happen here with even the Mega Drive. Maybe I'll get driven crazy with the documentation and quit. Maybe it'll end up being too complicated and I'll quit. Maybe the emulation will end up way too slow and I'll give up. Maybe it'll take me seven years to get any games playable at all. Maybe Steve Snake, AamirM and Mike Pavone will pool money to hire a hitman to come after me. Who knows. But this is what I want to do, so ... here goes nothing.
