Update to v100r14 release. byuu says: (Windows: compile with -fpermissive to silence an annoying error. I'll fix it in the next WIP.) I completely replaced the time management system in higan and overhauled the scheduler. Before, processor threads would have "int64 clock"; and there would be a 1:1 relationship between two threads. When thread A ran for X cycles, it'd subtract X * B.Frequency from clock; and when thread B ran for Y cycles, it'd add Y * A.Frequency from clock. This worked well and allowed perfect precision; but it doesn't work when you have more complicated relationships: eg the 68K can sync to the Z80 and PSG; the Z80 to the 68K and PSG; so the PSG needs two counters. The new system instead uses a "uint64 clock" variable that represents time in attoseconds. Every time the scheduler exits, it subtracts the smallest clock count from all threads, to prevent an overflow scenario. The only real downside is that rounding errors mean that roughly every 20 minutes, we have a rounding error of one clock cycle (one 20,000,000th of a second.) However, this only applies to systems with multiple oscillators, like the SNES. And when you're in that situation ... there's no such thing as a perfect oscillator anyway. A real SNES will be thousands of times less out of spec than 1hz per 20 minutes. The advantages are pretty immense. First, we obviously can now support more complex relationships between threads. Second, we can build a much more abstracted scheduler. All of libco is now abstracted away completely, which may permit a state-machine / coroutine version of Thread in the future. We've basically gone from this: auto SMP::step(uint clocks) -> void { clock += clocks * (uint64)cpu.frequency; dsp.clock -= clocks; if(dsp.clock < 0 && !scheduler.synchronizing()) co_switch(dsp.thread); if(clock >= 0 && !scheduler.synchronizing()) co_switch(cpu.thread); } To this: auto SMP::step(uint clocks) -> void { Thread::step(clocks); synchronize(dsp); synchronize(cpu); } As you can see, we don't have to do multiple clock adjustments anymore. This is a huge win for the SNES CPU that had to update the SMP, DSP, all peripherals and all coprocessors. Likewise, we don't have to synchronize all coprocessors when one runs, now we can just synchronize the active one to the CPU. Third, when changing the frequencies of threads (think SGB speed setting modes, GBC double-speed mode, etc), it no longer causes the "int64 clock" value to be erroneous. Fourth, this results in a fairly decent speedup, mostly across the board. Aside from the GBA being mostly a wash (for unknown reasons), it's about an 8% - 12% speedup in every other emulation core. Now, all of this said ... this was an unbelievably massive change, so ... you know what that means >_> If anyone can help test all types of SNES coprocessors, and some other system games, it'd be appreciated. ---- Lastly, we have a bitchin' new about screen. It unfortunately adds ~200KiB onto the binary size, because the PNG->C++ header file transformation doesn't compress very well, and I want to keep the original resource files in with the higan archive. I might try some things to work around this file size increase in the future, but for now ... yeah, slightly larger archive sizes, sorry. The logo's a bit busted on Windows (the Label control's background transparency and alignment settings aren't working), but works well on GTK. I'll have to fix Windows before the next official release. For now, look on my Twitter feed if you want to see what it's supposed to look like. ---- EDIT: forgot about ICD2::Enter. It's doing some weird inverse run-to-save thing that I need to implement support for somehow. So, save states on the SGB core probably won't work with this WIP.

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

Update to v094r12 release. byuu says: Changelog: * added driver selection * added video scale + aspect correction settings * added A/V sync + audio mute settings * added configuration file * fixed compilation bugs under Windows and Linux * fixed window sizing * removed HSU1 * the system menu stays as "System", because "Game Boy Advance" was too long a string for the smallest scale size * some more stuff You guys probably won't be ecstatic about the video sizing options, but it's basically your choice of 1x, 2x or 4x scale with optional aspect correction. 3x was intentionally skipped because it looks horrible on hires SNES games. The window is resized and recentered upon loading games. The window doesn't resize otherwise. I never really liked the way v094 always left you with black screen areas and left you with off-centered window positions. I might go ahead and add the pseudo-fullscreen toggle that will jump into 4x mode (respecting your aspect setting.) Short-term: * add input port changing support * add other input types (mouse-based, etc) * add save states * add cheat codes * add timing configuration (video/audio sync) * add hotkeys (single state) We can probably do a new release once the short-term items are completed. Long-term: * add slotted cart loader (SGB, BSX, ST) * add DIP switch selection window (NSS) * add cheat code database * add state manager * add overscan masking Not planned: * video color adjustments (will allow emulated color vs raw color; but no more sliders) * pixel shaders * ananke integration (will need to make a command-line version to get my games in) * fancy audio adjustment controls (resampler, latency, volume) * input focus settings * relocating game library (not hard, just don't feel like it) * localization support (not enough users) * window geometry memory * anything else not in higan v094

Update to v096r02 (OS X Preview for Developers) release. byuu says: Warning: this is not for the faint of heart. This is a very early, unpolished, buggy release. But help testing/fixing bugs would be greatly appreciated for anyone willing. Requirements: - Mac OS X 10.7+ - Xcode 7.2+ Installation Commands: cd higan gmake -j 4 gmake install cd ../icarus gmake -j 4 gmake install (gmake install is absolutely required, sorry. You'll be missing key files in key places if you don't run it, and nothing will work.) (gmake uninstall also exists, or you can just delete the .app bundles from your Applications folder, and the Dev folder on your desktop.) If you want to use the GBA emulation, then you need to drop the GBA BIOS into ~/Emulation/System/Game\ Boy\ Advance.sys\bios.rom Usage: You'll now find higan.app and icarus.app in your Applications folders. First, run icarus.app, navigate to where you keep your game ROMs. Now click the settings button at the bottom right, and check "Create Manifests", and click OK. (You'll need to do this every time you run icarus because there's some sort of bug on OSX saving the settings.) Now click "Import", and let it bring in your games into ~/Emulation. Note: "Create Manifests" is required. I don't yet have a pipe implementation on OS X for higan to invoke icarus yet. If you don't check this box, it won't create manifest.bml files, and your games won't run at all. Now you can run higan.app. The first thing you'll want to do is go to higan->Preferences... and assign inputs for your gamepads. At the very least, do it for the default controller for all the systems you want to emulate. Now this is very important ... close the application at this point so that it writes your config file to disk. There's a serious crashing bug, and if you trigger it, you'll lose your input bindings. Now the really annoying part ... go to Library->{System} and pick the game you want to play. Right now, there's a ~50% chance the application will bomb. It seems the hiro::pListView object is getting destroyed, yet somehow the internal Cocoa callbacks are being triggered anyway. I don't know how this is possible, and my attempts to debug with lldb have been a failure :( If you're unlucky, the application will crash. Restart and try again. If it crashes every single time, then you can try launching your game from the command-line instead. Example: open /Applications/higan.app \ --args ~/Emulation/Super\ Famicom/Zelda3.sfc/ Help wanted: I could really, really, really use some help with that crashing on game loading. There's a lot of rough edges, but they're all cosmetic. This one thing is pretty much the only major show-stopping issue at the moment, preventing a wider general audience pre-compiled binary preview.

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.

(You'll need to do this every time you run icarus because there's some sort of bug on OSX saving the settings.) Now click "Import", and let it bring in your games into ~/Emulation. Note: "Create Manifests" is required. I don't yet have a pipe implementation on OS X for higan to invoke icarus yet. If you don't check this box, it won't create manifest.bml files, and your games won't run at all. Now you can run higan.app. The first thing you'll want to do is go to higan->Preferences... and assign inputs for your gamepads. At the very least, do it for the default controller for all the systems you want to emulate. Now this is very important ... close the application at this point so that it writes your config file to disk. There's a serious crashing bug, and if you trigger it, you'll lose your input bindings. Now the really annoying part ... go to Library->{System} and pick the game you want to play. Right now, there's a ~50% chance the application will bomb. It seems the hiro::pListView object is getting destroyed, yet somehow the internal Cocoa callbacks are being triggered anyway. I don't know how this is possible, and my attempts to debug with lldb have been a failure :( If you're unlucky, the application will crash. Restart and try again. If it crashes every single time, then you can try launching your game from the command-line instead. Example: open /Applications/higan.app \ --args ~/Emulation/Super\ Famicom/Zelda3.sfc/ Help wanted: I could really, really, really use some help with that crashing on game loading. There's a lot of rough edges, but they're all cosmetic. This one thing is pretty much the only major show-stopping issue at the moment, preventing a wider general audience pre-compiled binary preview.

Update to v100r14 release. byuu says: (Windows: compile with -fpermissive to silence an annoying error. I'll fix it in the next WIP.) I completely replaced the time management system in higan and overhauled the scheduler. Before, processor threads would have "int64 clock"; and there would be a 1:1 relationship between two threads. When thread A ran for X cycles, it'd subtract X * B.Frequency from clock; and when thread B ran for Y cycles, it'd add Y * A.Frequency from clock. This worked well and allowed perfect precision; but it doesn't work when you have more complicated relationships: eg the 68K can sync to the Z80 and PSG; the Z80 to the 68K and PSG; so the PSG needs two counters. The new system instead uses a "uint64 clock" variable that represents time in attoseconds. Every time the scheduler exits, it subtracts the smallest clock count from all threads, to prevent an overflow scenario. The only real downside is that rounding errors mean that roughly every 20 minutes, we have a rounding error of one clock cycle (one 20,000,000th of a second.) However, this only applies to systems with multiple oscillators, like the SNES. And when you're in that situation ... there's no such thing as a perfect oscillator anyway. A real SNES will be thousands of times less out of spec than 1hz per 20 minutes. The advantages are pretty immense. First, we obviously can now support more complex relationships between threads. Second, we can build a much more abstracted scheduler. All of libco is now abstracted away completely, which may permit a state-machine / coroutine version of Thread in the future. We've basically gone from this: auto SMP::step(uint clocks) -> void { clock += clocks * (uint64)cpu.frequency; dsp.clock -= clocks; if(dsp.clock < 0 && !scheduler.synchronizing()) co_switch(dsp.thread); if(clock >= 0 && !scheduler.synchronizing()) co_switch(cpu.thread); } To this: auto SMP::step(uint clocks) -> void { Thread::step(clocks); synchronize(dsp); synchronize(cpu); } As you can see, we don't have to do multiple clock adjustments anymore. This is a huge win for the SNES CPU that had to update the SMP, DSP, all peripherals and all coprocessors. Likewise, we don't have to synchronize all coprocessors when one runs, now we can just synchronize the active one to the CPU. Third, when changing the frequencies of threads (think SGB speed setting modes, GBC double-speed mode, etc), it no longer causes the "int64 clock" value to be erroneous. Fourth, this results in a fairly decent speedup, mostly across the board. Aside from the GBA being mostly a wash (for unknown reasons), it's about an 8% - 12% speedup in every other emulation core. Now, all of this said ... this was an unbelievably massive change, so ... you know what that means >_> If anyone can help test all types of SNES coprocessors, and some other system games, it'd be appreciated. ---- Lastly, we have a bitchin' new about screen. It unfortunately adds ~200KiB onto the binary size, because the PNG->C++ header file transformation doesn't compress very well, and I want to keep the original resource files in with the higan archive. I might try some things to work around this file size increase in the future, but for now ... yeah, slightly larger archive sizes, sorry. The logo's a bit busted on Windows (the Label control's background transparency and alignment settings aren't working), but works well on GTK. I'll have to fix Windows before the next official release. For now, look on my Twitter feed if you want to see what it's supposed to look like. ---- EDIT: forgot about ICD2::Enter. It's doing some weird inverse run-to-save thing that I need to implement support for somehow. So, save states on the SGB core probably won't work with this WIP.
