Raw Normal View History

Include all the code from the bsnes v068 tarball. byuu describes the changes since v067: This release officially introduces the accuracy and performance cores, alongside the previously-existing compatibility core. The accuracy core allows the most accurate SNES emulation ever seen, with every last processor running at the lowest possible clock synchronization level. The performance core allows slower computers the chance to finally use bsnes. It is capable of attaining 60fps in standard games even on an entry-level Intel Atom processor, commonly found in netbooks. The accuracy core is absolutely not meant for casual gaming at all. It is meant solely for getting as close to 100% perfection as possible, no matter the cost to speed. It should only be used for testing, development or debugging. The compatibility core is identical to bsnes v067 and earlier, but is now roughly 10% faster. This is the default and recommended core for casual gaming. The performance core contains an entirely new S-CPU core, with range-tested IRQs; and uses blargg's heavily-optimized S-DSP core directly. Although there are very minor accuracy tradeoffs to increase speed, I am confident that the performance core is still more accurate and compatible than any other SNES emulator. The S-CPU, S-SMP, S-DSP, SuperFX and SA-1 processors are all clock-based, just as in the accuracy and compatibility cores; and as always, there are zero game-specific hacks. Its compatibility is still well above 99%, running even the most challenging games flawlessly. If you have held off from using bsnes in the past due to its system requirements, please give the performance core a try. I think you will be impressed. I'm also not finished: I believe performance can be increased even further. I would also strongly suggest Windows Vista and Windows 7 users to take advantage of the new XAudio2 driver by OV2. Not only does it give you a performance boost, it also lowers latency and provides better sound by way of skipping an API emulation layer. Changelog: - Split core into three profiles: accuracy, compatibility and performance - Accuracy core now takes advantage of variable-bitlength integers (eg uint24_t) - Performance core uses a new S-CPU core, written from scratch for speed - Performance core uses blargg's snes_dsp library for S-DSP emulation - Binaries are now compiled using GCC 4.5 - Added a workaround in the SA-1 core for a bug in GCC 4.5+ - The clock-based S-PPU renderer has greatly improved OAM emulation; fixing Winter Gold and Megalomania rendering issues - Corrected pseudo-hires color math in the clock-based S-PPU renderer; fixing Super Buster Bros backgrounds - Fixed a clamping bug in the Cx4 16-bit triangle operation [Jonas Quinn]; fixing Mega Man X2 "gained weapon" star background effect - Updated video renderer to properly handle mixed-resolution screens with interlace enabled; fixing Air Strike Patrol level briefing screen - Added mightymo's 2010-08-19 cheat code pack - Windows port: added XAudio2 output support [OV2] - Source: major code restructuring; virtual base classes for processor - cores removed, build system heavily modified, etc.

Update to v072r01 release. byuu says: - added pause shortcut ('P' key, as pause/break is too finicky) - pause and auto-pause show on status bar - added a debugger skeleton, very very primitive and completely unusable - don't try it yet - added software filter support Also included is the new snesfilter library. It has all of the filters the old one had, as well as scanline filters since that's not in my GUI anymore If you want scanlines and other software filters, then you can either make your own hybrid two-in-one software filter, or make a pixel shader (I don't have one of those yet.)

Update to v084r03 release. (r02 was not posted to the WIP thread) byuu says: Internally, all color is processed with 30-bit precision. The filters also operate at 30-bit depth. There's a new config file setting, video.depth, which defaults to 24. This causes the final output to downsample to 24-bit, as most will require. If you set it to 30-bit, the downsampling will not occur, and bsnes will ask ruby for a 30-bit surface. If you don't have one available, you're going to get bad colors. Or maybe even a crash with OpenGL. I don't yet have detection code to make sure you have an appropriate visual in place. 30-bit mode will really only work if you are running Linux, running Xorg at Depth 30, use the OpenGL or XShm driver, have an nVidia Quadro or AMD FireGL card with the official drivers, and have a 30-bit capable monitor. Lots of planning and work for very little gain here, but it's nice that it's finally finished. Oh, I had to change the contrast/brightness formulas a tiny bit, but they still work and look nice.

Update to v083 release. byuu says: This release adds preliminary Nintendo / Famicom emulation. It's only a week or two old, so a lot of work still needs to be done before it can compete with the most popular NES emulators. It's important to clarify: bsnes is primarily an SNES emulator. That will always be its forte and my core focus. I have added Game Boy support previously for Super Game Boy emulation, and I've added NES support mostly for something fun to work on to break up the monotony of working on one system for seven years now. Obviously, I'd like the emulation to be accurate and highly compatible, but I simply cannot afford to invest the same amount of time and money into any other systems. Still, either way the NES and GB emulation serve as fun side-diversions, and allow for a unified emulator interface with all of bsnes' unique features applied to all systems. My personal favorite feature is mightymo's extended built-in cheat code database that now also includes NES and Game Boy codes. And it even works in Super Game Boy mode now, too! I'm also not worried about speed at all: so long as NES/GB are faster than SNES/compatibility, it's fine by me. Note that due to the NES audio running at 1.78MHz, and Game Boy audio at 4MHz stereo, a more sophisticated audio resampler was needed: Ryphecha (Mednafen author) has graciously written a first-rate resampler: it is a band-limited Kaiser-windowed polyphase sinc resampler. It is combined with two highpass filters to remove DC bias. The filter itself is SSE optimized, but even still, approximately 50% of CPU usage for NES/GB emulation goes to the audio filtering alone. However, you now have the best sound possible for NES and Game Boy emulation as a result. The GUI has also been heavily re-structured to accommodate multiple emulators from the same interface. As such, it's quite likely a few bugs are still lurking here and there. Please report them and I'll iron them out for the next release. Changelog: - license is now GPLv3 - re-structured GUI as a multi-system emulator - added NES emulation [byuu, Ryphecha] - added NES ICs: MMC1, MMC2, MMC3, MMC4, MMC5, VRC4, VRC6+audio, VRC7, Sunsoft-5B+audio, Bandai-LZ93D50 - added NES boards: AxROM, BNROM, CNROM, ExROM, FxROM, GxROM, NROM, PxROM, SxROM, TxROM, UxROM - Game Boy emulation improvements [Jonas Quinn] - SNES core outputs full 19-bit color (4-bit luma included) for more accurate color reproduction (~5% speed hit) - audio resampler is now a band-limited polyphase resampler [Ryphecha] - cheat database includes NES+GB codes as well [mightymo, tukuyomi] - lots of other changes

Include all the code from the bsnes v068 tarball. byuu describes the changes since v067: This release officially introduces the accuracy and performance cores, alongside the previously-existing compatibility core. The accuracy core allows the most accurate SNES emulation ever seen, with every last processor running at the lowest possible clock synchronization level. The performance core allows slower computers the chance to finally use bsnes. It is capable of attaining 60fps in standard games even on an entry-level Intel Atom processor, commonly found in netbooks. The accuracy core is absolutely not meant for casual gaming at all. It is meant solely for getting as close to 100% perfection as possible, no matter the cost to speed. It should only be used for testing, development or debugging. The compatibility core is identical to bsnes v067 and earlier, but is now roughly 10% faster. This is the default and recommended core for casual gaming. The performance core contains an entirely new S-CPU core, with range-tested IRQs; and uses blargg's heavily-optimized S-DSP core directly. Although there are very minor accuracy tradeoffs to increase speed, I am confident that the performance core is still more accurate and compatible than any other SNES emulator. The S-CPU, S-SMP, S-DSP, SuperFX and SA-1 processors are all clock-based, just as in the accuracy and compatibility cores; and as always, there are zero game-specific hacks. Its compatibility is still well above 99%, running even the most challenging games flawlessly. If you have held off from using bsnes in the past due to its system requirements, please give the performance core a try. I think you will be impressed. I'm also not finished: I believe performance can be increased even further. I would also strongly suggest Windows Vista and Windows 7 users to take advantage of the new XAudio2 driver by OV2. Not only does it give you a performance boost, it also lowers latency and provides better sound by way of skipping an API emulation layer. Changelog: - Split core into three profiles: accuracy, compatibility and performance - Accuracy core now takes advantage of variable-bitlength integers (eg uint24_t) - Performance core uses a new S-CPU core, written from scratch for speed - Performance core uses blargg's snes_dsp library for S-DSP emulation - Binaries are now compiled using GCC 4.5 - Added a workaround in the SA-1 core for a bug in GCC 4.5+ - The clock-based S-PPU renderer has greatly improved OAM emulation; fixing Winter Gold and Megalomania rendering issues - Corrected pseudo-hires color math in the clock-based S-PPU renderer; fixing Super Buster Bros backgrounds - Fixed a clamping bug in the Cx4 16-bit triangle operation [Jonas Quinn]; fixing Mega Man X2 "gained weapon" star background effect - Updated video renderer to properly handle mixed-resolution screens with interlace enabled; fixing Air Strike Patrol level briefing screen - Added mightymo's 2010-08-19 cheat code pack - Windows port: added XAudio2 output support [OV2] - Source: major code restructuring; virtual base classes for processor - cores removed, build system heavily modified, etc.
