From this WIP, I'm starting on the impossible task of

base/ becomes emulator/, and we add emulator/interface.hpp, which is
a base API that all emulation cores must implement in full.
(Right now, it's kind of a hybrid to work with the old GUI and the new
GUI at the same time, of course.)
Unlike the old interfaces, the new base class also provides all general
usability hooks: loading and saving files and states, cheat codes, etc.
The new interface also contains information and vector structs to
describe all possible loading methods, controller bindings, etc; and
gives names for them all.
The actual GUI in fact should not include eg <gba/gba.hpp> anymore.
Should speed up GUI compilation.
So the idea going forward is that ethos will build a list of emulators
right when the application starts up.
Once you've appended an emulator to that list, you're done. No more GUI
changes are needed to support that system.
The GUI will have code to parse the emulator interfaces list, and build
all the requisite GUI options dynamically, declarative style.
Ultimately, once the project is finished, the new GUI should look ~99%
identical to the current GUI. But it'll probably be a whole lot smaller.

Changelog:
- all hotkeys from target-ui now exist in target-ethos
- controller port menus now show up when you load a system (hidden if
there are no options to choose from)
- tools menu auto-hides with no game open ... not much point to it then
- since we aren't using RawInput's multi-KB/MS support anyway, input and
hotkey mappings remove KB0:: and turn MS0:: into Mouse::, makes it
a lot easier to read
- added mute audio, sync video, sync audio, mask overscan
- added video settings: saturation, gamma, luminance, overscan
horizontal, overscan vertical
- added audio settings: frequency, latency, resampler, volume
- added input settings: when focus is lost [ ] pause emulator [ ] allow
input
- pausing and autopausing works
- status messages hooked up (show a message in status bar for a few
seconds, then revert to normal status text)
- sub systems (SGB, BSX, ST) sorted below primary systems list
- added geometry settings cache
- Emulator::Interface cleanups and simplifications
- save states go into (cart foldername.extension/bsnes/state-#.bsa) now.
Idea is to put emulator-specific data in their own subfolders
Caveats / Missing:
- SGB input does not work
- Sufami Turbo second slot doesn't work yet
- BS-X BIOS won't show the data pack
- need XML mapping information window
- need cheat editor and cheat database
- need state manager
- need video shaders
- need driver selection
- need NSS DIP switch settings
- need to hide controllers that have no inputs from the input mapping
list
So for video settings, I used to have contrast/brightness/gamma.
Contrast was just a multiplier on intensity of each channel, and
brightness was an addition or subtraction against each channel. They
kind of overlapped and weren't that effective. The new setup has
saturation, gamma and luminance.
Saturation of 100% is normal. If you lower it, color information goes
away. 0% = grayscale. If you raise it, color intensity increases (and
clamps.) This is wonderful for GBA games, since they are oversaturated
to fucking death. Of course we'll want to normalize that inside the
core, so the same sat. value works on all systems, but for now it's
nice. If you raise saturation above 100%, it basically acts like
contrast used to. It's just that lowering it fades to grayscale rather
than black.
Adding doesn't really work well for brightness, it throws off the
relative distance between channels and looks like shit. So now we have
luminance, which takes over the old contrast <100% role, and just fades
the pixels toward black. Obviously, luminance > 100% would be the same
as saturation > 100%, so that isn't allowed, it caps at 100% now.
Gamma's the same old function. Gamma curve on the lower-half of the
color range.
Effects are applied in the order they appear in the GUI: color ->
saturate -> gammify -> luminate -> output.

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

- as such, state manager and cheat editor windows auto-hide (may be
a tiny bit inconvenient, but it makes not having to sync them or deal

- added "AbsoluteInput" type, which returns mouse coordinates from
-32767,-32767 (top left) to +32767,+32767 (bottom right) or
-32768,-32768 (offscreen)
AbsoluteInput is just something I'm toying with. Idea is to support eg
Super Scope or Justifier, or possibly some future Famicom controllers
that are absolute-indexed. The coordinates are scaled, so the bigger
your window, the more precise they are. But obviously you can't get more
precise than the emulated system, so 1x scale will behave the same
anyway. I haven't hooked it up yet, need to mess with the idea of custom
cursors via phoenix for that first. Also not sure if it will feel
smoother or not ... if you resize the window, your mouse will seem to
move slower. Still, not having to capture the mouse for SS/JS may be
nicer yet. But we'll see ... just experimenting for now.

Update to higan v091r14 and ananke v00r03 releases.
byuu says:
higan changelog:
- generates title displayed in emulator window by asking the core
- core builds title solely from "information/title" ... if it's not
there, you don't get a title at all
- sub-system load menu is gone ... since there are multiple revisions of
the SGB, this never really worked well anyway
- to load an SGB, BS-X or ST cartridge, load the base cartridge first
- "File->Load Game" moved to "Load->Import Game" ... may cause a bit of
confusion to new users, but I don't like having a single-item menu,
we'll just have to explain it to new users
- browser window redone to look like ananke
- home button here goes to ~/Emulation rather than just ~ like ananke,
since this is the home of game folders
- game folder icon is now the executable icon for the Tango theme
(orange diamond), meant to represent a complete game rather than
a game file or archive
ananke changelog:
- outputs GBC games to "Game Boy Color/" instead of "Game Boy/"
- adds the file basename to "information/title"
Known issues:
- using ananke to load a GB game trips the Super Famicom SGB mode and
fails (need to make the full-path auto-detection ignore non-bootable
systems)
- need to dump and test some BS-X media before releasing
- ananke lacks BS-X Satellaview cartridge support
- v092 isn't going to let you retarget the ananke/higan game folder path
of ~/Emulation, you will have to wait for a future version if that
bothers you so greatly
[Later, after the v092 release, byuu posted this additional changelog:
- kill laevateinn
- add title()
- add bootable, remove load
- combine file, library
- combine [][][] paths
- fix SFC subtype handling XML->BML
- update file browser to use buttons
- update file browser keyboard handling
- update system XML->BML
- fix sufami turbo hashing
- remove Cartridge::manifest

- added input settings: when focus is lost [ ] pause emulator [ ] allow
input
- pausing and autopausing works
- status messages hooked up (show a message in status bar for a few
seconds, then revert to normal status text)
- sub systems (SGB, BSX, ST) sorted below primary systems list
- added geometry settings cache
- Emulator::Interface cleanups and simplifications
- save states go into (cart foldername.extension/bsnes/state-#.bsa) now.
Idea is to put emulator-specific data in their own subfolders
Caveats / Missing:
- SGB input does not work
- Sufami Turbo second slot doesn't work yet
- BS-X BIOS won't show the data pack
- need XML mapping information window
- need cheat editor and cheat database
- need state manager
- need video shaders
- need driver selection
- need NSS DIP switch settings
- need to hide controllers that have no inputs from the input mapping
list
So for video settings, I used to have contrast/brightness/gamma.
Contrast was just a multiplier on intensity of each channel, and
brightness was an addition or subtraction against each channel. They
kind of overlapped and weren't that effective. The new setup has
saturation, gamma and luminance.
Saturation of 100% is normal. If you lower it, color information goes
away. 0% = grayscale. If you raise it, color intensity increases (and
clamps.) This is wonderful for GBA games, since they are oversaturated
to fucking death. Of course we'll want to normalize that inside the
core, so the same sat. value works on all systems, but for now it's
nice. If you raise saturation above 100%, it basically acts like
contrast used to. It's just that lowering it fades to grayscale rather
than black.
Adding doesn't really work well for brightness, it throws off the
relative distance between channels and looks like shit. So now we have
luminance, which takes over the old contrast <100% role, and just fades
the pixels toward black. Obviously, luminance > 100% would be the same
as saturation > 100%, so that isn't allowed, it caps at 100% now.
Gamma's the same old function. Gamma curve on the lower-half of the
color range.
Effects are applied in the order they appear in the GUI: color ->
saturate -> gammify -> luminate -> output.

The new interface also contains information and vector structs to

gives names for them all.
The actual GUI in fact should not include eg <gba/gba.hpp> anymore.

right when the application starts up.
Once you've appended an emulator to that list, you're done. No more GUI
changes are needed to support that system.
The GUI will have code to parse the emulator interfaces list, and build
all the requisite GUI options dynamically, declarative style.
Ultimately, once the project is finished, the new GUI should look ~99%
identical to the current GUI. But it'll probably be a whole lot smaller.

Changelog:
- Super Game Boy, BS-X Satellaview and Sufami Turbo cartridges all load
manifests that specify their file names, and they all work
- Sufami Turbo can now properly handle carts without RAM, or empty slots
entirely
- Emulator::Interface structures no longer specify any file names, ever
- exposed "capability.(cheats,states)" now. So far, this just means the
GBA doesn't show the cheat editor, since it doesn't support cheat
codes yet
- as such, state manager and cheat editor windows auto-hide (may be
a tiny bit inconvenient, but it makes not having to sync them or deal
with input when no cart is loaded easier)
- added "AbsoluteInput" type, which returns mouse coordinates from
-32767,-32767 (top left) to +32767,+32767 (bottom right) or
-32768,-32768 (offscreen)
AbsoluteInput is just something I'm toying with. Idea is to support eg
Super Scope or Justifier, or possibly some future Famicom controllers
that are absolute-indexed. The coordinates are scaled, so the bigger
your window, the more precise they are. But obviously you can't get more
precise than the emulated system, so 1x scale will behave the same
anyway. I haven't hooked it up yet, need to mess with the idea of custom
cursors via phoenix for that first. Also not sure if it will feel
smoother or not ... if you resize the window, your mouse will seem to
move slower. Still, not having to capture the mouse for SS/JS may be
nicer yet. But we'll see ... just experimenting for now.

Super Famicom mapping system has been reworked as discussed with the

map id=ram address=00-3f,80-bf:6000-7fff size=0x2000
map id=ram address=70-71:0000-ffff
As a result of the changes, old mappings will no longer work. The above
XML example will run Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Otherwise,
you'll have to write your own.
All that's left now is to work some sort of database mapping system in,
so I can start dumping carts en masse.
The NES changes that FitzRoy asked for are mostly in as well.
Also, part of the reason I haven't released a WIP ... but fuck it, I'm
not going to wait forever to post a new WIP.
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,
but obviously I need the ROMs first.

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.

Changelog:
- all hotkeys from target-ui now exist in target-ethos
- controller port menus now show up when you load a system (hidden if
there are no options to choose from)
- tools menu auto-hides with no game open ... not much point to it then
- since we aren't using RawInput's multi-KB/MS support anyway, input and
hotkey mappings remove KB0:: and turn MS0:: into Mouse::, makes it
a lot easier to read
- added mute audio, sync video, sync audio, mask overscan
- added video settings: saturation, gamma, luminance, overscan
horizontal, overscan vertical
- added audio settings: frequency, latency, resampler, volume
- added input settings: when focus is lost [ ] pause emulator [ ] allow
input
- pausing and autopausing works
- status messages hooked up (show a message in status bar for a few
seconds, then revert to normal status text)
- sub systems (SGB, BSX, ST) sorted below primary systems list
- added geometry settings cache
- Emulator::Interface cleanups and simplifications
- save states go into (cart foldername.extension/bsnes/state-#.bsa) now.
Idea is to put emulator-specific data in their own subfolders
Caveats / Missing:
- SGB input does not work
- Sufami Turbo second slot doesn't work yet
- BS-X BIOS won't show the data pack
- need XML mapping information window
- need cheat editor and cheat database
- need state manager
- need video shaders
- need driver selection
- need NSS DIP switch settings
- need to hide controllers that have no inputs from the input mapping
list
So for video settings, I used to have contrast/brightness/gamma.
Contrast was just a multiplier on intensity of each channel, and
brightness was an addition or subtraction against each channel. They
kind of overlapped and weren't that effective. The new setup has
saturation, gamma and luminance.
Saturation of 100% is normal. If you lower it, color information goes
away. 0% = grayscale. If you raise it, color intensity increases (and
clamps.) This is wonderful for GBA games, since they are oversaturated
to fucking death. Of course we'll want to normalize that inside the
core, so the same sat. value works on all systems, but for now it's
nice. If you raise saturation above 100%, it basically acts like
contrast used to. It's just that lowering it fades to grayscale rather
than black.
Adding doesn't really work well for brightness, it throws off the
relative distance between channels and looks like shit. So now we have
luminance, which takes over the old contrast <100% role, and just fades
the pixels toward black. Obviously, luminance > 100% would be the same
as saturation > 100%, so that isn't allowed, it caps at 100% now.
Gamma's the same old function. Gamma curve on the lower-half of the
color range.
Effects are applied in the order they appear in the GUI: color ->
saturate -> gammify -> luminate -> output.

- as such, state manager and cheat editor windows auto-hide (may be
a tiny bit inconvenient, but it makes not having to sync them or deal
with input when no cart is loaded easier)
- added "AbsoluteInput" type, which returns mouse coordinates from
-32767,-32767 (top left) to +32767,+32767 (bottom right) or
-32768,-32768 (offscreen)
AbsoluteInput is just something I'm toying with. Idea is to support eg
Super Scope or Justifier, or possibly some future Famicom controllers
that are absolute-indexed. The coordinates are scaled, so the bigger
your window, the more precise they are. But obviously you can't get more
precise than the emulated system, so 1x scale will behave the same
anyway. I haven't hooked it up yet, need to mess with the idea of custom
cursors via phoenix for that first. Also not sure if it will feel
smoother or not ... if you resize the window, your mouse will seem to
move slower. Still, not having to capture the mouse for SS/JS may be
nicer yet. But we'll see ... just experimenting for now.

Changelog:
- default placement of presentation window optimized for 1024x768
displays or larger (sorry if yours is smaller, move the window
yourself.)
- Direct3D waits until a previous Vblank ends before waiting for the
next Vblank to begin (fixes video timing analysis, and ---really---
fast computers.)
- Window::setVisible(false) clears modality, but also fixed in Browser
code as well (fixes loading images on Windows hanging)
- Browser won't consume full CPU resources (but timing analysis will,
I don't want stalls to affect the results.)
- closing settings window while analyzing stops analysis
- you can load the SGB BIOS without a game (why the hell you would want
to ...)
- escape closes the Browser window (it won't close other dialogs, it has
to be hooked up per-window)
- just for fun, joypad hat up/down moves in Browser file list, any
joypad button loads selected game [not very useful, lacks repeat, and
there aren't GUI load file open buttons]
- Super Scope and Justifier crosshairs render correctly (probably
doesn't belong in the core, but it's not something I suspect people
want to do themselves ...)
- you can load GB, SGB, GB, SGB ... without problems (not happy with how
I did this, but I don't want to add an Interface::setInterface()
function yet)
- PAL timing works as I want now (if you want 50fps on a 60hz monitor,
you must not use sync video) [needed to update the DSP frequency when
toggling video/audio sync]
- not going to save input port selection for now (lot of work), but it
will properly keep your port setting across cartridge loads at least
[just goes to controller on emulator restart]
- SFC overscan on and off both work as expected now (off centers image,
on shows entire image)
- laevateinn compiles properly now
- ethos goes to ~/.config/bsnes now that target-ui is dead [honestly,
I recommend deleting the old folder and starting over]
- Emulator::Interface callbacks converted to virtual binding structure
that GUI inherits from (simplifies binding callbacks)
- this breaks Super Game Boy for a bit, I need to rethink
system-specific bindings without direct inheritance
Timing analysis works spectacularly well on Windows, too. You won't get
your 100% perfect rate (unless maybe you leave the analysis running
overnight?), but it'll get really freaking close this way.

byuu says:
Super Famicom mapping system has been reworked as discussed with the
mask= changes. offset becomes base, mode is gone. Also added support for
comma-separated fields in the address fields, to reduce the number of
map lines needed.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cartridge region="NTSC">
<superfx revision="2">
<rom name="program.rom" size="0x200000"/>
<ram name="save.rwm" size="0x8000"/>
<map id="io" address="00-3f,80-bf:3000-32ff"/>
<map id="rom" address="00-3f:8000-ffff" mask="0x8000"/>
<map id="rom" address="40-5f:0000-ffff"/>
<map id="ram" address="00-3f,80-bf:6000-7fff" size="0x2000"/>
<map id="ram" address="70-71:0000-ffff"/>
</superfx>
</cartridge>
Or in BML:
cartridge region=NTSC
superfx revision=2
rom name=program.rom size=0x200000
ram name=save.rwm size=0x8000
map id=io address=00-3f,80-bf:3000-32ff
map id=rom address=00-3f:8000-ffff mask=0x8000
map id=rom address=40-5f:0000-ffff
map id=ram address=00-3f,80-bf:6000-7fff size=0x2000
map id=ram address=70-71:0000-ffff
As a result of the changes, old mappings will no longer work. The above
XML example will run Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Otherwise,
you'll have to write your own.
All that's left now is to work some sort of database mapping system in,
so I can start dumping carts en masse.
The NES changes that FitzRoy asked for are mostly in as well.
Also, part of the reason I haven't released a WIP ... but fuck it, I'm
not going to wait forever to post a new WIP.
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,
but obviously I need the ROMs first.

string path(unsigned group) { return bind->path(group); }

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.

Update to v088r14 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- added NSS DIP switch settings window (when loading NSS carts with
appropriate manifest.xml file)
- added video shader selection (they go in ~/.config/bsnes/Video
Shaders/ now)
- added driver selection
- added timing settings (not only allows video/audio settings, also has
code to dynamically compute the values for you ... and it actually
works pretty good!)
- moved "None" controller device to bottom of list (it is the least
likely to be used, after all)
- added Interface::path() to support MSU1, USART, Link
- input and hotkey mappings remember list position after assignment
- and more!
target-ethos now has all of the functionality of target-ui, and more.
Final code size for the port is 101.2KB (ethos) vs 167.6KB (ui).
A ~67% reduction in code size, yet it does even more! And you can add or
remove an entire system with only three lines of code (Makefile include,
header include, interface append.)
The only problem left is that the BS-X BIOS won't load the BS Zelda no
Densetsu file.
I can't figure out why it's not working, would appreciate any
assistance, but otherwise I'm probably just going to leave it broken for
v089, sorry.
So the show stoppers for a new release at this point are:
- fix laevateinn to compile with the new interface changes (shouldn't be
too hard, it'll still use the old, direct interface.)
- clean up Emulator::Interface as much as possible (trim down
Information, mediaRequest should use an alternate struct designed to
load firmware / slots separately)
- enhance purify to strip SNES ROM headers, and it really needs a GUI
interface
- it would be highly desirable to make a launcher that can create
a cartridge folder from an existing ROM set (* ethos will need to
accept command-line arguments for this.)
- probably need to remember which controller was selected in each port
for each system across runs
- need to fix the cursor for Super Scope / Justifier games (move from
19-bit to 32-bit colors broke it)
- have to refactor that cache.(hv)offset thing to fix ASP

Update to higan v091r14 and ananke v00r03 releases.
byuu says:
higan changelog:
- generates title displayed in emulator window by asking the core
- core builds title solely from "information/title" ... if it's not
there, you don't get a title at all
- sub-system load menu is gone ... since there are multiple revisions of
the SGB, this never really worked well anyway
- to load an SGB, BS-X or ST cartridge, load the base cartridge first
- "File->Load Game" moved to "Load->Import Game" ... may cause a bit of
confusion to new users, but I don't like having a single-item menu,
we'll just have to explain it to new users
- browser window redone to look like ananke
- home button here goes to ~/Emulation rather than just ~ like ananke,
since this is the home of game folders
- game folder icon is now the executable icon for the Tango theme
(orange diamond), meant to represent a complete game rather than
a game file or archive
ananke changelog:
- outputs GBC games to "Game Boy Color/" instead of "Game Boy/"
- adds the file basename to "information/title"
Known issues:
- using ananke to load a GB game trips the Super Famicom SGB mode and
fails (need to make the full-path auto-detection ignore non-bootable
systems)
- need to dump and test some BS-X media before releasing
- ananke lacks BS-X Satellaview cartridge support
- v092 isn't going to let you retarget the ananke/higan game folder path
of ~/Emulation, you will have to wait for a future version if that
bothers you so greatly
[Later, after the v092 release, byuu posted this additional changelog:
- kill laevateinn
- add title()
- add bootable, remove load
- combine file, library
- combine [][][] paths
- fix SFC subtype handling XML->BML
- update file browser to use buttons
- update file browser keyboard handling
- update system XML->BML
- fix sufami turbo hashing
- remove Cartridge::manifest

- 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,

- 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 v088r08 release.
byuu says:
From this WIP, I'm starting on the impossible task of
a declarative-based GUI, which I'm calling Ethos.
base/ becomes emulator/, and we add emulator/interface.hpp, which is
a base API that all emulation cores must implement in full.
(Right now, it's kind of a hybrid to work with the old GUI and the new
GUI at the same time, of course.)
Unlike the old interfaces, the new base class also provides all general
usability hooks: loading and saving files and states, cheat codes, etc.
The new interface also contains information and vector structs to
describe all possible loading methods, controller bindings, etc; and
gives names for them all.
The actual GUI in fact should not include eg <gba/gba.hpp> anymore.
Should speed up GUI compilation.
So the idea going forward is that ethos will build a list of emulators
right when the application starts up.
Once you've appended an emulator to that list, you're done. No more GUI
changes are needed to support that system.
The GUI will have code to parse the emulator interfaces list, and build
all the requisite GUI options dynamically, declarative style.
Ultimately, once the project is finished, the new GUI should look ~99%
identical to the current GUI. But it'll probably be a whole lot smaller.

- all hotkeys from target-ui now exist in target-ethos
- controller port menus now show up when you load a system (hidden if
there are no options to choose from)
- tools menu auto-hides with no game open ... not much point to it then
- since we aren't using RawInput's multi-KB/MS support anyway, input and
hotkey mappings remove KB0:: and turn MS0:: into Mouse::, makes it
a lot easier to read
- added mute audio, sync video, sync audio, mask overscan
- added video settings: saturation, gamma, luminance, overscan
horizontal, overscan vertical
- added audio settings: frequency, latency, resampler, volume
- added input settings: when focus is lost [ ] pause emulator [ ] allow
input
- pausing and autopausing works
- status messages hooked up (show a message in status bar for a few
seconds, then revert to normal status text)
- sub systems (SGB, BSX, ST) sorted below primary systems list
- added geometry settings cache
- Emulator::Interface cleanups and simplifications
- save states go into (cart foldername.extension/bsnes/state-#.bsa) now.
Idea is to put emulator-specific data in their own subfolders

- need NSS DIP switch settings
- need to hide controllers that have no inputs from the input mapping
list
So for video settings, I used to have contrast/brightness/gamma.
Contrast was just a multiplier on intensity of each channel, and
brightness was an addition or subtraction against each channel. They
kind of overlapped and weren't that effective. The new setup has
saturation, gamma and luminance.
Saturation of 100% is normal. If you lower it, color information goes
away. 0% = grayscale. If you raise it, color intensity increases (and
clamps.) This is wonderful for GBA games, since they are oversaturated
to fucking death. Of course we'll want to normalize that inside the
core, so the same sat. value works on all systems, but for now it's
nice. If you raise saturation above 100%, it basically acts like
contrast used to. It's just that lowering it fades to grayscale rather
than black.
Adding doesn't really work well for brightness, it throws off the
relative distance between channels and looks like shit. So now we have
luminance, which takes over the old contrast <100% role, and just fades
the pixels toward black. Obviously, luminance > 100% would be the same
as saturation > 100%, so that isn't allowed, it caps at 100% now.
Gamma's the same old function. Gamma curve on the lower-half of the
color range.
Effects are applied in the order they appear in the GUI: color ->
saturate -> gammify -> luminate -> output.

Update to v088r08 release.

From this WIP, I'm starting on the impossible task of
a declarative-based GUI, which I'm calling Ethos.
base/ becomes emulator/, and we add emulator/interface.hpp, which is
a base API that all emulation cores must implement in full.
(Right now, it's kind of a hybrid to work with the old GUI and the new
GUI at the same time, of course.)
Unlike the old interfaces, the new base class also provides all general
usability hooks: loading and saving files and states, cheat codes, etc.
The new interface also contains information and vector structs to
describe all possible loading methods, controller bindings, etc; and
gives names for them all.
The actual GUI in fact should not include eg <gba/gba.hpp> anymore.
Should speed up GUI compilation.
So the idea going forward is that ethos will build a list of emulators
right when the application starts up.
Once you've appended an emulator to that list, you're done. No more GUI
changes are needed to support that system.
The GUI will have code to parse the emulator interfaces list, and build
all the requisite GUI options dynamically, declarative style.
Ultimately, once the project is finished, the new GUI should look ~99%
identical to the current GUI. But it'll probably be a whole lot smaller.

Changelog:
- all hotkeys from target-ui now exist in target-ethos
- controller port menus now show up when you load a system (hidden if
there are no options to choose from)
- tools menu auto-hides with no game open ... not much point to it then
- since we aren't using RawInput's multi-KB/MS support anyway, input and
hotkey mappings remove KB0:: and turn MS0:: into Mouse::, makes it
a lot easier to read
- added mute audio, sync video, sync audio, mask overscan
- added video settings: saturation, gamma, luminance, overscan
horizontal, overscan vertical
- added audio settings: frequency, latency, resampler, volume
- added input settings: when focus is lost [ ] pause emulator [ ] allow
input
- pausing and autopausing works
- status messages hooked up (show a message in status bar for a few
seconds, then revert to normal status text)
- sub systems (SGB, BSX, ST) sorted below primary systems list
- added geometry settings cache
- Emulator::Interface cleanups and simplifications
- save states go into (cart foldername.extension/bsnes/state-#.bsa) now.
Idea is to put emulator-specific data in their own subfolders
Caveats / Missing:
- SGB input does not work
- Sufami Turbo second slot doesn't work yet
- BS-X BIOS won't show the data pack
- need XML mapping information window
- need cheat editor and cheat database
- need state manager
- need video shaders
- need driver selection
- need NSS DIP switch settings
- need to hide controllers that have no inputs from the input mapping
list

Changelog:
- default placement of presentation window optimized for 1024x768
displays or larger (sorry if yours is smaller, move the window
yourself.)
- Direct3D waits until a previous Vblank ends before waiting for the
next Vblank to begin (fixes video timing analysis, and ---really---
fast computers.)
- Window::setVisible(false) clears modality, but also fixed in Browser
code as well (fixes loading images on Windows hanging)
- Browser won't consume full CPU resources (but timing analysis will,
I don't want stalls to affect the results.)
- closing settings window while analyzing stops analysis
- you can load the SGB BIOS without a game (why the hell you would want
to ...)
- escape closes the Browser window (it won't close other dialogs, it has
to be hooked up per-window)
- just for fun, joypad hat up/down moves in Browser file list, any
joypad button loads selected game [not very useful, lacks repeat, and
there aren't GUI load file open buttons]
- Super Scope and Justifier crosshairs render correctly (probably
doesn't belong in the core, but it's not something I suspect people
want to do themselves ...)
- you can load GB, SGB, GB, SGB ... without problems (not happy with how
I did this, but I don't want to add an Interface::setInterface()
function yet)
- PAL timing works as I want now (if you want 50fps on a 60hz monitor,
you must not use sync video) [needed to update the DSP frequency when
toggling video/audio sync]
- not going to save input port selection for now (lot of work), but it
will properly keep your port setting across cartridge loads at least
[just goes to controller on emulator restart]
- SFC overscan on and off both work as expected now (off centers image,
on shows entire image)
- laevateinn compiles properly now
- ethos goes to ~/.config/bsnes now that target-ui is dead [honestly,
I recommend deleting the old folder and starting over]
- Emulator::Interface callbacks converted to virtual binding structure
that GUI inherits from (simplifies binding callbacks)
- this breaks Super Game Boy for a bit, I need to rethink
system-specific bindings without direct inheritance
Timing analysis works spectacularly well on Windows, too. You won't get
your 100% perfect rate (unless maybe you leave the analysis running
overnight?), but it'll get really freaking close this way.
