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 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 v101r12 release. byuu says: Changelog: - new md/bus/ module for bus reads/writes - abstracts byte/word accesses wherever possible (everything but RAM; forces all but I/O to word, I/O to byte) - holds the system RAM since that's technically not part of the CPU anyway - added md/controller and md/system/peripherals - added emulation of gamepads - added stub PSG audio output (silent) to cap the framerate at 60fps with audio sync enabled - fixed VSRAM reads for plane vertical scrolling (two bugs here: add instead of sub; interlave plane A/B) - mask nametable read offsets (can't exceed 8192-byte nametables apparently) - emulated VRAM/VSRAM/CRAM reads from VDP data port - fixed sprite width/height size calculations - added partial emulation of 40-tile per scanline limitation (enough to fix Sonic's title screen) - fixed off-by-one sprite range testing - fixed sprite tile indexing - Vblank happens at Y=224 with overscan disabled - unsure what happens when you toggle it between Y=224 and Y=240 ... probably bad things - fixed reading of address register for ADDA, CMPA, SUBA - fixed sign extension for MOVEA effect address reads - updated MOVEM to increment the read addresses (but not writeback) for (aN) mode With all of that out of the way, we finally have Sonic the Hedgehog (fully?) playable. I played to stage 1-2 and through the special stage, at least. EDIT: yeah, we probably need HIRQs for Labyrinth Zone. Not much else works, of course. Most games hang waiting on the Z80, and those that don't (like Altered Beast) are still royally screwed. Tons of features still missing; including all of the Z80/PSG/YM2612. A note on the perihperals this time around: the Mega Drive EXT port is basically identical to the regular controller ports. So unlike with the Famicom and Super Famicom, I'm inheriting the exension port from the controller class.

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 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 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.

It's a massive time sink to sit here banging away at every possible combination of how things could work, only to see no positive improvements. Nothing I do seems to get sprites to do a goddamn thing. squee says the sprite Y field is 10-bits, X field is 9-bits. genvdp says they're both 10-bits. BlastEm treats them like they're both 10-bits, then masks off the upper bit so it's effectively 9-bits anyway. Nothing ever bothers to tell you whether the horizontal scroll values are supposed to add or subtract from the current X position. Probably the most basic detail you could imagine for explaining horizontal scrolling and yet ... nope. Nothing. I can't even begin to understand how the VDP FIFO functionality works, or what the fuck is meant by "slots". I'm completely at a loss as how how in the holy hell the 68K works with 8-bit accesses. I don't know whether I need byte/word handlers for every device, or if I can just hook it right into the 68K core itself. This one's probably the most major design detail. I need to know this before I go and implement the PSG/YM2612/IO ports-\>gamepads/Z80/etc. Trying to debug the 68K is murder because basically every game likes to start with a 20,000,000-instruction reset phase of checksumming entire games, and clearing out the memory as agonizingly slowly as humanly possible. And like the ARM, there's too many registers so I'd need three widescreen monitors to comfortably view the entire debugger output lines onscreen. I can't get any test ROMs to debug functionality outside of full games because every **goddamned** test ROM coder thinks it's acceptable to tell people to go fetch some toolchain from a link that died in the late '90s and only works on MS-DOS 6.22 to build their fucking shit, because god forbid you include a 32KiB assembled ROM image in your fucking archives. ...

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 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 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 v102r12 release. byuu says: Changelog: - MD/PSG: fixed 68K bus Z80 status read address location - MS, GG, MD/PSG: channels post-decrement their counters, not pre-decrement [Cydrak]¹ - MD/VDP: cache screen width registers once per scanline; screen height registers once per frame - MD/VDP: support 256-width display mode (used in Shining Force, etc) - MD/YM2612: implemented timers² - MD/YM2612: implemented 8-bit PCM DAC² - 68000: TRAP instruction should index the vector location by 32 (eg by 128 bytes), fixes Shining Force - nall: updated hex(), octal(), binary() functions to take uintmax instead of template<typename T> parameter³ ¹: this one makes an incredible difference. Sie noticed that lots of games set a period of 0, which would end up being a really long period with pre-decrement. By fixing this, noise shows up in many more games, and sounds way better in games even where it did before. You can hear extra sound on Lunar - Sanposuru Gakuen's title screen, the noise in Sonic The Hedgehog (Mega Drive) sounds better, etc. ²: this also really helps sound. The timers allow PSG music to play back at the correct speed instead of playing back way too quickly. And the PCM DAC lets you hear a lot of drum effects, as well as the "Sega!!" sound at the start of Sonic the Hedgehog, and the infamous, "Rise from your grave!" line from Altered Beast. Still, most music on the Mega Drive comes from the FM channels, so there's still not a whole lot to listen to. I didn't implement Cydrak's $02c test register just yet. Sie wasn't 100% certain on how the extended DAC bit worked, so I'd like to play it a little conservative and get sound working, then I'll go back and add a toggle or something to enable undocumented registers, that way we can use that to detect any potential problems they might be causing. ³: unfortunately we lose support for using hex() on nall/arithmetic types. If I have a const Pair& version of the function, then the compiler gets confused on whether Natural<32> should use uintmax or const Pair&, because compilers are stupid, and you can't have explicit arguments in overloaded functions. So even though either function would work, it just decides to error out instead >_> This is actually really annoying, because I want hex() to be useful for printing out nall/crypto keys and hashes directly. But ... this change had to be made. Negative signed integers would crash programs, and that was taking out my 68000 disassembler.

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.

Update to v101r11 release. byuu says: Changelog: - 68K: fixed NEG/NEGX operand order - 68K: fixed bug in disassembler that was breaking trace logging - VDP: improved sprite rendering (still 100% broken) - VDP: added horizontal/vertical scrolling (90% broken) Forgot: - 68K: fix extension word sign bit on indexed modes for disassembler as well - 68K: emulate STOP properly (use r.stop flag; clear on IRQs firing) I'm really wearing out fast here. The Genesis documentation is somehow even worse than Game Boy documentation, but this is a far more complex system. It's a massive time sink to sit here banging away at every possible combination of how things could work, only to see no positive improvements. Nothing I do seems to get sprites to do a goddamn thing. squee says the sprite Y field is 10-bits, X field is 9-bits. genvdp says they're both 10-bits. BlastEm treats them like they're both 10-bits, then masks off the upper bit so it's effectively 9-bits anyway. Nothing ever bothers to tell you whether the horizontal scroll values are supposed to add or subtract from the current X position. Probably the most basic detail you could imagine for explaining horizontal scrolling and yet ... nope. Nothing. I can't even begin to understand how the VDP FIFO functionality works, or what the fuck is meant by "slots". I'm completely at a loss as how how in the holy hell the 68K works with 8-bit accesses. I don't know whether I need byte/word handlers for every device, or if I can just hook it right into the 68K core itself. This one's probably the most major design detail. I need to know this before I go and implement the PSG/YM2612/IO ports-\>gamepads/Z80/etc. Trying to debug the 68K is murder because basically every game likes to start with a 20,000,000-instruction reset phase of checksumming entire games, and clearing out the memory as agonizingly slowly as humanly possible. And like the ARM, there's too many registers so I'd need three widescreen monitors to comfortably view the entire debugger output lines onscreen. I can't get any test ROMs to debug functionality outside of full games because every **goddamned** test ROM coder thinks it's acceptable to tell people to go fetch some toolchain from a link that died in the late '90s and only works on MS-DOS 6.22 to build their fucking shit, because god forbid you include a 32KiB assembled ROM image in your fucking archives. ... I may have to take a break for a while. We'll see.

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. 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.

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 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.

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.

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 v104r07 release. byuu says: Changelog: - md/vdp: added VIP bit to status register; fixes Cliffhanger - processor/m68k/disassembler: added modes 7 and 8 to LEA address disassembly - processor/m68k/disassembler: enhanced ILLEGAL to display LINEA/LINEF $xxx variants - processor/m68k: ILLEGAL/LINEA/LINEF do not modify the stack register; fixes Caeser no Yabou II - icarus/sfc: request sgb1.boot.rom and sgb2.boot.rom separately; as they are different - icarus/sfc: removed support for external firmware when loading ROM images The hack to run Mega Drive Ballz 3D isn't in place, as I don't know if it's correct, and the graphics were corrupted anyway. The SGB boot ROM change is going to require updating the icarus database as well. I will add that in when I start dumping more cartridges here soon. Finally ... I explained this already, but I'll do so here as well: I removed icarus' support for loading SNES coprocessor firmware games with external firmware files (eg dsp1.program.rom + dsp1.data.rom in the same path as supermariokart.sfc, for example.) I realize most are going to see this as an antagonizing/stubborn move given the recent No-Intro discussion, and I won't deny that said thread is why this came to the forefront of my mind. But on my word, I honestly believe this was an ineffective solution for many reasons not related to our disagreements: 1. No-Intro distributes SNES coprocessor firmware as a merged file, eg "DSP1 (World).zip/DSP1 (World).bin" -- icarus can't possibly know about every ROM distribution set's naming conventions for firmware. (Right now, it appears GoodSNES and NSRT are mostly dead; but there may be more DATs in the future -- including my own.) 2. Even if the user obtains the firmware and tries to rename it, it won't work: icarus parses manifests generated by the heuristics module and sees two ROM files: dsp1.program.rom and dsp1.data.rom. icarus cannot identify a file named dsp1.rom as containing both of these sub-files. Users are going to have to know how to split files, which there is no way to do on stock Windows. Merging files, however, can be done via `copy /b supermariokart.sfc+dsp1.rom supermariokartdsp.sfc`; - and dsp1.rom can be named whatever now. I am not saying this will be easy for the average user, but it's easier than splitting files. 3. Separate firmware breaks icarus' database lookup. If you have pilotwings.sfc but without firmware, icarus will not find a match for it in the database lookup phase. It will then fall back on heuristics. The heuristics will pick DSP1B for compatibility with Ballz 3D which requires it. And so it will try to pull in the wrong firmware, and the game's intro will not work correctly. Furthermore, the database information will be unavailable, resulting in inaccurate mirroring. So for these reasons, I have removed said support. You must now load SNES coprocessor games into higan in one of two ways: 1) game paks with split files; or 2) SFC images with merged firmware. If and when No-Intro deploys a method I can actually use, I give you all my word I will give it a fair shot and if it's reasonable, I'll support it in icarus.

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 v102r12 release. byuu says: Changelog: - MD/PSG: fixed 68K bus Z80 status read address location - MS, GG, MD/PSG: channels post-decrement their counters, not pre-decrement [Cydrak]¹ - MD/VDP: cache screen width registers once per scanline; screen height registers once per frame - MD/VDP: support 256-width display mode (used in Shining Force, etc) - MD/YM2612: implemented timers² - MD/YM2612: implemented 8-bit PCM DAC² - 68000: TRAP instruction should index the vector location by 32 (eg by 128 bytes), fixes Shining Force - nall: updated hex(), octal(), binary() functions to take uintmax instead of template<typename T> parameter³ ¹: this one makes an incredible difference. Sie noticed that lots of games set a period of 0, which would end up being a really long period with pre-decrement. By fixing this, noise shows up in many more games, and sounds way better in games even where it did before. You can hear extra sound on Lunar - Sanposuru Gakuen's title screen, the noise in Sonic The Hedgehog (Mega Drive) sounds better, etc. ²: this also really helps sound. The timers allow PSG music to play back at the correct speed instead of playing back way too quickly. And the PCM DAC lets you hear a lot of drum effects, as well as the "Sega!!" sound at the start of Sonic the Hedgehog, and the infamous, "Rise from your grave!" line from Altered Beast.

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.

Sie noticed that lots of games set a period of 0, which would end up being a really long period with pre-decrement. By fixing this, noise shows up in many more games, and sounds way better in games even where it did before. You can hear extra sound on Lunar - Sanposuru Gakuen's title screen, the noise in Sonic The Hedgehog (Mega Drive) sounds better, etc. ²: this also really helps sound. The timers allow PSG music to play back at the correct speed instead of playing back way too quickly. And the PCM DAC lets you hear a lot of drum effects, as well as the "Sega!!" sound at the start of Sonic the Hedgehog, and the infamous, "Rise from your grave!" line from Altered Beast.

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.

Update to v103r08 release. byuu says: Changelog: - emulator: improved aspect correction accuracy by using floating-point calculations - emulator: added videoCrop() function, extended videoSize() to take cropping parameters¹ - tomoko: the overscan masking function will now actually resize the viewport² - gba/cpu: fixed two-cycle delay on triggering DMAs; not running DMAs when the CPU is stopped - md/vdp: center video when overscan is disabled - pce/vce: resize video output from 1140x240 to 1120x240 - tomoko: resize window scaling from 326x240 to 320x240 - tomoko: changed save slot naming and status bar messages to indicate quick states vs managed states - tomoko: added increment/decrement quick state hotkeys - tomoko: save/load quick state hotkeys now save to slots 1-5 instead of always to 0 - tomoko: increased overscan range from 0-16 to 0-24 (in case you want to mask the Master System to 240x192) ¹: the idea here was to decouple raw pixels from overscan masking. Overscan was actually horrifically broken before. The Famicom outputs at 256x240, the Super Famicom at 512x480, and the Mega Drive at 1280x480. Before, a horizontal overscan mask of 8 would not reduce the Super Famicom or Mega Drive by nearly as much as the Famicom. WIth the new videoCrop() function, the internals of pixel size distortions can be handled by each individual core. ²: furthermore, by taking optional cropping information in videoSize(), games can scale even larger into the viewport window. So for example, before the Super Famicom could only scale to 1536x1440. But by cropping the vertical resolution by 6 (228p effectively, still more than NTSC can even show), I can now scale to 1792x1596. And wiht aspect correction, that becomes a perfect 8:7 ratio of 2048x1596, giving me perfectly crisp pixels without linear interpolation being required. Errata: for some reason, when I save a new managed state with the SFC core, the default description is being set to a string of what looks to be hex numbers. I found the cause ... I'll fix this in the next release. Note: I'd also like to hide the "find codes..." button if cheats.bml isn't present, as well as update the SMP TEST register comment from smp/timing.cpp

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.
