Update to v088r10 release. byuu says: ethos is going to be absolutely amazing. You guys are in for a treat :D I'm impressing the hell out of myself with how well-structured this code is, it's allowing me to do amazing new things. Just a small sampling of what's in store (and already implemented): The file browser will display folders as "[ folder name ]", and cartridge folders as "Game Name" (no extension, no /) [icons would be nicer, but well ... phoenix.] Folders are sorted above cartridge folders. Cartridge folders for other systems do not show up in the list. Not only are unique paths stored for each image type, your position in the list is saved across runs. Some voodoo was added to GTK+ so that all targets even scroll directly to that item when you open the list. Load->System->Enter restarts your last game. That sounds really simple and obvious, but it makes an -incredible- difference. Didn't realize it until I tried an implementation of it, wow. The input mapping list now lets you bind as many hotkeys as you want to any given input. So SFC::Port1::Joypad::B = Keyboard::Z or Joypad::Button1 ... no need to remap everything to switch between keyboard and joypad. Either one activates the key. There is a separate Hotkeys tab now. This should hopefully end the confusion about how to remap hotkeys that users experience. Hotkeys are different, too. Instead of OR logic, they use AND logic. So Fullscreen = Keyboard::Alt and Keyboard::Enter. Both must be pressed to enter the key. This lets you easily implement "super" modifier keys. The actual codebase has new features the old UI never had, and has about ~50% of the old functionality (so far, of course), yet is only ~25% as much code. The entire GUI no longer needs to pull in all the headers for each emulated system. It just needs a small interface header file. Then bind the entire system with exactly **two** lines of code. Everything is dynamically generated for you after that.

Update to v088r11 release. byuu says: 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

Update to v099r08 release. byuu says: Changelog: - nall/vfs work 100% completed; even SGB games load now - emulation cores now call load() for the base cartridges as well - updated port/device handling; portmask is gone; device ID bug should be resolved now - SNES controller port 1 multitap option was removed - added support for 128KiB SNES PPU VRAM (for now, edit sfc/ppu/ppu.hpp VRAM::size=0x10000; to enable) Overall, nall/vfs was a huge success!! We've substantially reduced the amount of boilerplate code everywhere, while still allowing (even easier than before) support for RAM-based game loading/saving. All of nall/stream is dead and buried. I am considering removing Emulator::Interface::Medium::id and/or bootable flag. Or at least, doing something different with it. The values for the non-bootable GB/BS/ST entries duplicate the ID that is supposed to be unique. They are for GB/GBC and WS/WSC. Maybe I'll use this as the hardware revision selection ID, and then gut non-bootable options. There's really no reason for that to be there. I think at one point I was using it to generate library tabs for non-bootable systems, but we don't do that anymore anyway. Emulator::Interface::load() may not need the required flag anymore ... it doesn't really do anything right now anyway. I have a few reasons for having the cores load the base cartridge. Most importantly, it is going to enable a special mode for the WonderSwan / WonderSwan Color in the future. If we ever get the IPLROMs dumped ... it's possible to boot these systems with no games inserted to set user profile information and such. There are also other systems that may accept being booted without a cartridge. To reach this state, you would load a game and then cancel the load dialog. Right now, this results in games not loading. The second reason is this prevents nasty crashes when loading fails. So if you're missing a required manifest, the emulator won't die a violent death anymore. It's able to back out at any point. The third reason is consistency: loading the base cartridge works the same as the slot cartridges. The fourth reason is Emulator::Interface::open(uint pathID) values. Before, the GB, SB, GBC modes were IDs 1,2,3 respectively. This complicated things because you had to pass the correct ID. But now instead, Emulator::Interface::load() returns maybe<uint> that is nothing when no game is selected, and a pathID for a valid game. And now open() can take this ID to access this game's folder contents. The downside, which is temporary, is that command-line loading is currently broken. But I do intend on restoring it. In fact, I want to do better than before and allow multi-cart booting from the command-line by specifying the base cartridge and then slot cartridges. The idea should be pretty simple: keep a queue of pending filenames that we fill from the command-line and/or drag-and-drop operations on the main window, and then empty out the queue or prompt for load dialogs from the UI when booting a system. This also might be a bit more unorthodox compared to the traditional emulator design of "loadGame(filename)", but ... oh well. It's easy enough still. The port/device changes are fun. We simplified things quite a bit. The portmask stuff is gone entirely. While ports and devices keep IDs, this is really just sugar-coating so UIs can use for(auto& port : emulator->ports) and access port.id; rather than having to use for(auto n : range(emulator->ports)) { auto& port = emulator->ports[n]; ... }; but they should otherwise generally be identical to the order they appear in their respective ranges. Still, don't rely on that. Input::id is gone. There was no point since we also got rid of the nasty Input::order vector. Since I was in here, I went ahead and caved on the pedantics and renamed Input::guid to Input::userData. I removed the SNES controller port 1 multitap option. Basically, the only game that uses this is N-warp Daisakusen and, no offense to d4s, it's not really a good game anyway. It's just a quick demo to show 8-players on the SNES. But in the UI, all it does is confuse people into wasting time mapping a controller they're never going to use, and they're going to wonder which port to use. If more compelling use cases for 8-players comes about, we can reconsider this. I left all the code to support this in place, so all you have to do is uncomment one line to enable it again. We now have dsnes emulation! :D If you change PPU::VRAM::size to 0x10000 (words), then you should now have 128KiB of VRAM. Even better, it serializes the used-VRAM size, so your save states shouldn't crash on you if you swap between the two (though if you try this, you're nuts.) Note that this option does break commercial software. Yoshi's Island in particular. This game is setting A15 on some PPU register writes, but not on others. The end result of this is things break horribly in-game. Also, this option is causing a very tiny speed hit for obvious reasons with the variable masking value (I'm even using size-1 for now.) Given how niche this is, I may just leave it a compile-time constant to avoid the overhead cost. Otherwise, if we keep the option, then it'll go into Super Famicom.sys/manifest.bml ... I'll flesh that out in the near-future. ---- Finally, some fun for my OCD ... my monitor suddenly cut out on me in the middle of working on this WIP, about six hours in of non-stop work. Had to hit a bunch of ctrl+alt+fN commands (among other things) and trying to log in headless on another TTY to do issue commands, trying to recover the display. Finally power cycled the monitor and it came back up. So all my typing ended up going to who knows where. Usually this sort of thing terrifies me enough that I scrap a WIP and start over to ensure I didn't screw anything up during the crashed screen when hitting keys randomly. Obviously, everything compiles and appears to work fine. And I know it's extremely paranoid, but OCD isn't logical, so ... I'm going to go over every line of the 100KiB r07->r08 diff looking for any corruption/errors/whatever. ---- Review finished. r08 diff review notes: - fc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp: use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...; - gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp: remove redundant uint _pathID; (in Information::pathID already) - gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp: pull sha256 inside Information - sfc/cartridge/load/cpp: add " - Slot (A,B)" to interface->load("Sufami Turbo"); to be more descriptive - sfc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp: use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...; - sfc/interface/interface.cpp: remove n variable from the Multitap device input generation loop (now unused) - sfc/interface/interface.hpp: put struct Port above struct Device like the other classes - ui-tomoko: cheats.bml is reading from/writing to mediumPaths(0) [system folder instead of game folder] - ui-tomoko: instead of mediumPaths(1) - call emulator->metadataPathID() or something like that

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

And now open() can take this ID to access this game's folder contents. The downside, which is temporary, is that command-line loading is currently broken. But I do intend on restoring it. In fact, I want to do better than before and allow multi-cart booting from the command-line by specifying the base cartridge and then slot cartridges. The idea should be pretty simple: keep a queue of pending filenames that we fill from the command-line and/or drag-and-drop operations on the main window, and then empty out the queue or prompt for load dialogs from the UI when booting a system. This also might be a bit more unorthodox compared to the traditional emulator design of "loadGame(filename)", but ... oh well. It's easy enough still. The port/device changes are fun. We simplified things quite a bit. The portmask stuff is gone entirely. While ports and devices keep IDs, this is really just sugar-coating so UIs can use for(auto& port : emulator->ports) and access port.id; rather than having to use for(auto n : range(emulator->ports)) { auto& port = emulator->ports[n]; ... }; but they should otherwise generally be identical to the order they appear in their respective ranges. Still, don't rely on that. Input::id is gone. There was no point since we also got rid of the nasty Input::order vector. Since I was in here, I went ahead and caved on the pedantics and renamed Input::guid to Input::userData. I removed the SNES controller port 1 multitap option. Basically, the only game that uses this is N-warp Daisakusen and, no offense to d4s, it's not really a good game anyway. It's just a quick demo to show 8-players on the SNES. But in the UI, all it does is confuse people into wasting time mapping a controller they're never going to use, and they're going to wonder which port to use. If more compelling use cases for 8-players comes about, we can reconsider this. I left all the code to support this in place, so all you have to do is uncomment one line to enable it again. We now have dsnes emulation! :D If you change PPU::VRAM::size to 0x10000 (words), then you should now have 128KiB of VRAM. Even better, it serializes the used-VRAM size, so your save states shouldn't crash on you if you swap between the two (though if you try this, you're nuts.) Note that this option does break commercial software. Yoshi's Island in particular. This game is setting A15 on some PPU register writes, but not on others. The end result of this is things break horribly in-game. Also, this option is causing a very tiny speed hit for obvious reasons with the variable masking value (I'm even using size-1 for now.) Given how niche this is, I may just leave it a compile-time constant to avoid the overhead cost. Otherwise, if we keep the option, then it'll go into Super Famicom.sys/manifest.bml ... I'll flesh that out in the near-future. ---- Finally, some fun for my OCD ... my monitor suddenly cut out on me in the middle of working on this WIP, about six hours in of non-stop work. Had to hit a bunch of ctrl+alt+fN commands (among other things) and trying to log in headless on another TTY to do issue commands, trying to recover the display. Finally power cycled the monitor and it came back up. So all my typing ended up going to who knows where. Usually this sort of thing terrifies me enough that I scrap a WIP and start over to ensure I didn't screw anything up during the crashed screen when hitting keys randomly. Obviously, everything compiles and appears to work fine. And I know it's extremely paranoid, but OCD isn't logical, so ... I'm going to go over every line of the 100KiB r07->r08 diff looking for any corruption/errors/whatever. ---- Review finished. r08 diff review notes: - fc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp: use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...; - gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp: remove redundant uint _pathID; (in Information::pathID already) - gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp: pull sha256 inside Information - sfc/cartridge/load/cpp: add " - Slot (A,B)" to interface->load("Sufami Turbo"); to be more descriptive - sfc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp: use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...; - sfc/interface/interface.cpp: remove n variable from the Multitap device input generation loop (now unused) - sfc/interface/interface.hpp: put struct Port above struct Device like the other classes - ui-tomoko: cheats.bml is reading from/writing to mediumPaths(0) [system folder instead of game folder] - ui-tomoko: instead of mediumPaths(1) - call emulator->metadataPathID() or something like that

Update to v101r06 release. byuu says: I reworked the video sizing code. Ended up wasting five fucking hours fighting GTK. When you call `gtk_widget_set_size_request`, it doesn't actually happen then. This is kind of a big deal because when I then go to draw onto the viewport, the actual viewport child window is still the old size, so the image gets distorted. It recovers in a frame or so with emulation, but if we were to put a still image on there, it would stay distorted. The first thought is, `while(gtk_events_pending()) gtk_main_iteration_do(false);` right after the `set_size_request`. But nope, it tells you there's no events pending. So then you think, go deeper, use `XPending()` instead. Same thing, GTK hasn't actually issued the command to Xlib yet. So then you think, if the widget is realized, just call a blocking `gtk_main_iteration`. One call does nothing, two calls results in a deadlock on the second one ... do it before program startup, and the main window will never appear. Great. Oh, and it's not just the viewport. It's also the widget container area of the windows, as well as the window itself, as well as the fullscreen mode toggle effect. They all do this. For the latter three, I couldn't find anything that worked, so I just added 20ms loops of constantly calling `gtk_main_iteration_do(false)` after each one of those things. The downside here is toggling the status bar takes 40ms, so you'll see it and it'll feel a tiny bit sluggish. But I can't have a 20ms wait on each widget resize, that would be catastrophic to performance on windows with lots of widgets. I tried hooking configure-event and size-allocate, but they were very unreliable. So instead I ended up with a loop that waits up to a maximm of 20ms that inspects the `widget->allocation.(width,height)` values directly and waits for them to be what we asked for with `set_size_request`. There was some extreme ugliness in GTK with calling `gtk_main_iteration_do` recursively (`hiro::Widget::setGeometry` is called recursively), so I had to lock it to only happen on the top level widgets (the child ones should get resized while waiting on the top-level ones, so it should be fine in practice), and also only run it on realized widgets. Even still, I'm getting ~3 timeouts when opening the settings dialog in higan, but no other windows. But, this is the best I can do for now. And the reason for all of this pain? Yeah, updated the video code. So the Emulator::Interface now has this:    struct VideoSize { uint width, height; };  //or requiem for a tuple    auto videoSize() -> VideoSize;    auto videoSize(uint width, uint height, bool arc) -> VideoSize; The first function, for now, is just returning the literal surface size. I may remove this ... one thing I want to allow for is cores that send different texture sizes based on interlace/hires/overscan/etc settings. The second function is more interesting. Instead of having the UI trying to figure out sizing, I figure the emulation cores can do a better job and we can customize it per-core now. So it gets the window's width and height, and whether the user asked for aspect correction, and then computes the best width/height ratio possible. For now they're all just doing multiples of a 1x scale to the UI 2x,3x,4x modes. We still need a third function, which will probably be what I repurpose videoSize() for: to return the 'effective' size for pixel shaders, to then feed into ruby, to then feed into quark, to then feed into our shaders. Since shaders use normalized coordinates for pixel fetching, this should work out just fine. The real texture size will be exposed to quark shaders as well, of course. Now for the main window ... it's just hard-coded to be 640x480, 960x720, 1280x960 for now. It works nicely for some cores on some modes, not so much for others. Work in progress I guess. I also took the opportunity to draw the about dialog box logo on the main window. Got a bit fancy and used the old spherical gradient and impose functionality of nall/image on it. Very minor highlight, nothing garish. Just something nicer than a solid black window. If you guys want to mess around with sizes, placements, and gradient styles/colors/shapes ... feel free. If you come up with something nicer, do share. That's what led to all the GTK hell ... the logo wasn't drawing right as you resized the window. But now it is, though I am not at all happy with the hacking I had to do. I also had to improve the video update code as a result of this: - when you unload a game, it blacks out the screen - if you are not quitting the emulator, it'll draw the logo; if you are, it won't - when you load a game, it black out the logo These options prevent any unsightliness from resizing the viewport with image data on it already I need to redraw the logo when toggling fullscreen with no game loaded as well for Windows, it seems.

Update to v102r22 release. byuu says: Changelog: - higan: Emulator::Interface::videoSize() renamed to videoResolution() - higan: Emulator::Interface::rtcsync() renamed to rtcSynchronize() - higan: added video display rotation support to Video - GBA: substantially improved audio mixing - fixed bug with FIFO 50%/100% volume setting - now properly using SOUNDBIAS amplitude to control output frequencies - reduced quantization noise - corrected relative volumes between PSG and FIFO channels - both PSG and FIFO values cached based on amplitude; resulting in cleaner PCM samples - treating PSG volume=3 as 200% volume instead of 0% volume now (unverified: to match mGBA) - GBA: properly initialize ALL CPU state; including the vital prefetch.wait=1 (fixes Classic NES series games) - GBA: added video rotation with automatic key translation support - PCE: reduced output resolution scalar from 285x242 to 285x240 - the extra two scanlines won't be visible on most TVs; and they make all other cores look worse - this is because all other cores output at 240p or less; so they were all receiving black bars in windowed mode - tomoko: added "Rotate Display" hotkey setting - tomoko: changed hotkey multi-key logic to OR instead of AND - left support for flipping it back inside the core; for those so inclined; by uncommenting one line in input.hpp - tomoko: when choosing Settings→Configuration, it will automatically select the currently loaded system - for instance, if you're playing a Game Gear game, it'll take you to the Game Gear input settings - if no games are loaded, it will take you to the hotkeys panel instead - WS(C): merged "Hardware-Vertical", "Hardware-Horizontal" controls into combined "Hardware" - WS(C): converted rotation support from being inside the core to using Emulator::Video - this lets WS(C) video content scale larger now that it's not bounded by a 224x224 square box - WS(C): added automatic key rotation support - WS(C): removed emulator "Rotate" key (use the general hotkey instead; I recommend F8 for this) - nall: added serializer support for nall::Boolean (boolean) types - although I will probably prefer the usage of uint1 in most cases

auto videoSize(uint width, uint height, bool arc) -> VideoSize override;
Update to v099r08 release. byuu says: Changelog: - nall/vfs work 100% completed; even SGB games load now - emulation cores now call load() for the base cartridges as well - updated port/device handling; portmask is gone; device ID bug should be resolved now - SNES controller port 1 multitap option was removed - added support for 128KiB SNES PPU VRAM (for now, edit sfc/ppu/ppu.hpp VRAM::size=0x10000; to enable) Overall, nall/vfs was a huge success!! We've substantially reduced the amount of boilerplate code everywhere, while still allowing (even easier than before) support for RAM-based game loading/saving. All of nall/stream is dead and buried. I am considering removing Emulator::Interface::Medium::id and/or bootable flag. Or at least, doing something different with it. The values for the non-bootable GB/BS/ST entries duplicate the ID that is supposed to be unique. They are for GB/GBC and WS/WSC. Maybe I'll use this as the hardware revision selection ID, and then gut non-bootable options. There's really no reason for that to be there. I think at one point I was using it to generate library tabs for non-bootable systems, but we don't do that anymore anyway. Emulator::Interface::load() may not need the required flag anymore ... it doesn't really do anything right now anyway. I have a few reasons for having the cores load the base cartridge. Most importantly, it is going to enable a special mode for the WonderSwan / WonderSwan Color in the future. If we ever get the IPLROMs dumped ... it's possible to boot these systems with no games inserted to set user profile information and such. There are also other systems that may accept being booted without a cartridge. To reach this state, you would load a game and then cancel the load dialog. Right now, this results in games not loading. The second reason is this prevents nasty crashes when loading fails. So if you're missing a required manifest, the emulator won't die a violent death anymore. It's able to back out at any point. The third reason is consistency: loading the base cartridge works the same as the slot cartridges. The fourth reason is Emulator::Interface::open(uint pathID) values. Before, the GB, SB, GBC modes were IDs 1,2,3 respectively. This complicated things because you had to pass the correct ID. But now instead, Emulator::Interface::load() returns maybe<uint> that is nothing when no game is selected, and a pathID for a valid game.

But now instead, Emulator::Interface::load() returns maybe<uint> that is nothing when no game is selected, and a pathID for a valid game. And now open() can take this ID to access this game's folder contents. The downside, which is temporary, is that command-line loading is currently broken. But I do intend on restoring it. In fact, I want to do better than before and allow multi-cart booting from the command-line by specifying the base cartridge and then slot cartridges. The idea should be pretty simple: keep a queue of pending filenames that we fill from the command-line and/or drag-and-drop operations on the main window, and then empty out the queue or prompt for load dialogs from the UI when booting a system. This also might be a bit more unorthodox compared to the traditional emulator design of "loadGame(filename)", but ... oh well. It's easy enough still. The port/device changes are fun. We simplified things quite a bit. The portmask stuff is gone entirely. While ports and devices keep IDs, this is really just sugar-coating so UIs can use for(auto& port : emulator->ports) and access port.id; rather than having to use for(auto n : range(emulator->ports)) { auto& port = emulator->ports[n]; ... }; but they should otherwise generally be identical to the order they appear in their respective ranges. Still, don't rely on that. Input::id is gone. There was no point since we also got rid of the nasty Input::order vector. Since I was in here, I went ahead and caved on the pedantics and renamed Input::guid to Input::userData. I removed the SNES controller port 1 multitap option. Basically, the only game that uses this is N-warp Daisakusen and, no offense to d4s, it's not really a good game anyway. It's just a quick demo to show 8-players on the SNES. But in the UI, all it does is confuse people into wasting time mapping a controller they're never going to use, and they're going to wonder which port to use. If more compelling use cases for 8-players comes about, we can reconsider this. I left all the code to support this in place, so all you have to do is uncomment one line to enable it again. We now have dsnes emulation! :D If you change PPU::VRAM::size to 0x10000 (words), then you should now have 128KiB of VRAM. Even better, it serializes the used-VRAM size, so your save states shouldn't crash on you if you swap between the two (though if you try this, you're nuts.) Note that this option does break commercial software. Yoshi's Island in particular. This game is setting A15 on some PPU register writes, but not on others. The end result of this is things break horribly in-game. Also, this option is causing a very tiny speed hit for obvious reasons with the variable masking value (I'm even using size-1 for now.) Given how niche this is, I may just leave it a compile-time constant to avoid the overhead cost. Otherwise, if we keep the option, then it'll go into Super Famicom.sys/manifest.bml ... I'll flesh that out in the near-future. ---- Finally, some fun for my OCD ... my monitor suddenly cut out on me in the middle of working on this WIP, about six hours in of non-stop work. Had to hit a bunch of ctrl+alt+fN commands (among other things) and trying to log in headless on another TTY to do issue commands, trying to recover the display. Finally power cycled the monitor and it came back up. So all my typing ended up going to who knows where. Usually this sort of thing terrifies me enough that I scrap a WIP and start over to ensure I didn't screw anything up during the crashed screen when hitting keys randomly. Obviously, everything compiles and appears to work fine. And I know it's extremely paranoid, but OCD isn't logical, so ... I'm going to go over every line of the 100KiB r07->r08 diff looking for any corruption/errors/whatever. ---- Review finished. r08 diff review notes: - fc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp: use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...; - gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp: remove redundant uint _pathID; (in Information::pathID already) - gb/cartridge/cartridge.hpp: pull sha256 inside Information - sfc/cartridge/load/cpp: add " - Slot (A,B)" to interface->load("Sufami Turbo"); to be more descriptive - sfc/controller/gamepad/gamepad.cpp: use uint device = ID::Device::Gamepad; not id = ...; - sfc/interface/interface.cpp: remove n variable from the Multitap device input generation loop (now unused) - sfc/interface/interface.hpp: put struct Port above struct Device like the other classes - ui-tomoko: cheats.bml is reading from/writing to mediumPaths(0) [system folder instead of game folder] - ui-tomoko: instead of mediumPaths(1) - call emulator->metadataPathID() or something like that

Update to v088r10 release. byuu says: ethos is going to be absolutely amazing. You guys are in for a treat :D I'm impressing the hell out of myself with how well-structured this code is, it's allowing me to do amazing new things. Just a small sampling of what's in store (and already implemented): The file browser will display folders as "[ folder name ]", and cartridge folders as "Game Name" (no extension, no /) [icons would be nicer, but well ... phoenix.] Folders are sorted above cartridge folders. Cartridge folders for other systems do not show up in the list. Not only are unique paths stored for each image type, your position in the list is saved across runs. Some voodoo was added to GTK+ so that all targets even scroll directly to that item when you open the list. Load->System->Enter restarts your last game. That sounds really simple and obvious, but it makes an -incredible- difference. Didn't realize it until I tried an implementation of it, wow. The input mapping list now lets you bind as many hotkeys as you want to any given input. So SFC::Port1::Joypad::B = Keyboard::Z or Joypad::Button1 ... no need to remap everything to switch between keyboard and joypad. Either one activates the key. There is a separate Hotkeys tab now. This should hopefully end the confusion about how to remap hotkeys that users experience. Hotkeys are different, too. Instead of OR logic, they use AND logic. So Fullscreen = Keyboard::Alt and Keyboard::Enter. Both must be pressed to enter the key. This lets you easily implement "super" modifier keys. The actual codebase has new features the old UI never had, and has about ~50% of the old functionality (so far, of course), yet is only ~25% as much code. The entire GUI no longer needs to pull in all the headers for each emulated system. It just needs a small interface header file. Then bind the entire system with exactly **two** lines of code. Everything is dynamically generated for you after that.

Update to v099r08 release. byuu says: Changelog: - nall/vfs work 100% completed; even SGB games load now - emulation cores now call load() for the base cartridges as well - updated port/device handling; portmask is gone; device ID bug should be resolved now - SNES controller port 1 multitap option was removed - added support for 128KiB SNES PPU VRAM (for now, edit sfc/ppu/ppu.hpp VRAM::size=0x10000; to enable) Overall, nall/vfs was a huge success!! We've substantially reduced the amount of boilerplate code everywhere, while still allowing (even easier than before) support for RAM-based game loading/saving. All of nall/stream is dead and buried. I am considering removing Emulator::Interface::Medium::id and/or bootable flag. Or at least, doing something different with it. The values for the non-bootable GB/BS/ST entries duplicate the ID that is supposed to be unique. They are for GB/GBC and WS/WSC. Maybe I'll use this as the hardware revision selection ID, and then gut non-bootable options. There's really no reason for that to be there. I think at one point I was using it to generate library tabs for non-bootable systems, but we don't do that anymore anyway. Emulator::Interface::load() may not need the required flag anymore ... it doesn't really do anything right now anyway. I have a few reasons for having the cores load the base cartridge. Most importantly, it is going to enable a special mode for the WonderSwan / WonderSwan Color in the future. If we ever get the IPLROMs dumped ... it's possible to boot these systems with no games inserted to set user profile information and such. There are also other systems that may accept being booted without a cartridge. To reach this state, you would load a game and then cancel the load dialog. Right now, this results in games not loading. The second reason is this prevents nasty crashes when loading fails. So if you're missing a required manifest, the emulator won't die a violent death anymore. It's able to back out at any point. The third reason is consistency: loading the base cartridge works the same as the slot cartridges. The fourth reason is Emulator::Interface::open(uint pathID) values.

Update to v088r12 release. byuu says: 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.

Update to v096r07 release. byuu says: Changelog: - configuration files are now stored in localpath() instead of configpath() - Video gamma/saturation/luminance sliders are gone now, sorry - added Video Filter->Blur Emulation [1] - added Video Filter->Scanline Emulation [2] - improvements to GBA audio emulation (fixes Minish Cap) [Jonas Quinn] [1] For the Famicom, this does nothing. For the Super Famicom, this performs horizontal blending for proper pseudo-hires translucency. For the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance, this performs interframe blending (each frame is the average of the current and previous frame), which is important for things like the GBVideoPlayer. [2] Right now, this only applies to the Super Famicom, but it'll come to the Famicom in the future. For the Super Famicom, this option doesn't just add scanlines, it simulates the phosphor decay that's visible in interlace mode. If you observe an interlaced game like RPM Racing on a real SNES, you'll notice that even on perfectly still screens, the image appears to shake. This option emulates that effect. Note 1: the buffering right now is a little sub-optimal, so there will be a slight speed hit with this new support. Since the core is now generating native ARGB8888 colors, it might as well call out to the interface to lock/unlock/refresh the video, that way it can render directly to the screen. Although ... that might not be such a hot idea, since the GBx interframe blending reads from the target buffer, and that tends to be a catastrophic option for performance. Note 2: the balanced and performance profiles for the SNES are completely busted again. This WIP took 6 1/2 hours, and I'm exhausted. Very much not looking forward to working on those, since those two have all kinds of fucked up speedup tricks for non-interlaced and/or non-hires video modes. Note 3: if you're on Windows and you saved your system folders somewhere else, now'd be a good time to move them to %localappdata%/higan

Update to v082r04 release. byuu says: So, here's the deal. I now have three emulators. I don't think the NES/GB ones are at all useful, but I do want them to be eventually. And having them have those pathetic little GUIs like ui-gameboy, and keeping everything in separate project folders, just doesn't work well for me. I kind of "got around" the issue with the Game Boy, by only allowing SGB mode emulation. But there is no "Super Nintendo" ... er ... wait ... uhmm ... well, you know what I mean anyway. So, my idea is to write a multi-emulator GUI, and keep the projects together. The GUI is not going to change much. The way I envision this working: At startup, you have a menubar with: "Cartridge, Settings, Tools, Help". Cartridge has "Load NES Cartridge", "Load SNES Cartridge", etc. When you load something, Cartridge is replaced with the appropriate system menu, eg "SNES". Here you have all your regular items: "power, reset, controller port selection, etc." There is also a new "Unload Cartridge" option, which is how you restore the "Cartridge" menu again. I have no plans to emulate any other systems, but if I ever do emulate something that doesn't take cartridges, I'll change the name to just "Load" or something. The cheat editor / state manager will look and act exactly the same. The settings panel will look exactly the same. I'll simply show/hide system-specific options as needed, like NES/SNES aspect ratio correction, etc. The input mapping window will just have settings for the currently loaded system. Video and audio tweaking will apply cross-system, as will hotkey mapping. The GUI stuff is mostly copy-paste, so it should only take me a week to get it 95% back to where it was, so don't worry, this isn't total GUI rewrite #80. I am, however, making all the objects pointers, so that I can destruct them all prior to main() returning, which is certainly one way of fixing that annoying Windows/Qt crash. Please only test on Linux. The Windows port is broken to hell, and will give you a bad impression of the idea: - menu groups are not hiding for some reason (all groups are showing, it looks hideous) - Timer interval(0) is taking 16ms per call, capping the FPS to ~64 tops [FWIW, bsnes/accuracy gets 130fps, bgameboy gets 450fps, bnes gets 800fps; all run at lowest possible granularity] - the OS keeps beeping when you press keys (AGAIN) Of course, Qt and GTK+ don't let you shrink a window from the requested geometry size, because they suck. So the video scaling stuff doesn't work all that great yet. Man, a metric fuckton of things need to be fixed in phoenix, and I really don't know how to fix any of them :/

For the Super Famicom, this performs horizontal blending for proper pseudo-hires translucency. For the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance, this performs interframe blending (each frame is the average of the current and previous frame), which is important for things like the GBVideoPlayer. [2] Right now, this only applies to the Super Famicom, but it'll come to the Famicom in the future. For the Super Famicom, this option doesn't just add scanlines, it simulates the phosphor decay that's visible in interlace mode. If you observe an interlaced game like RPM Racing on a real SNES, you'll notice that even on perfectly still screens, the image appears to shake. This option emulates that effect. Note 1: the buffering right now is a little sub-optimal, so there will be a slight speed hit with this new support. Since the core is now generating native ARGB8888 colors, it might as well call out to the interface to lock/unlock/refresh the video, that way it can render directly to the screen. Although ... that might not be such a hot idea, since the GBx interframe blending reads from the target buffer, and that tends to be a catastrophic option for performance. Note 2: the balanced and performance profiles for the SNES are completely busted again. This WIP took 6 1/2 hours, and I'm exhausted. Very much not looking forward to working on those, since those two have all kinds of fucked up speedup tricks for non-interlaced and/or non-hires video modes. Note 3: if you're on Windows and you saved your system folders somewhere else, now'd be a good time to move them to %localappdata%/higan

Update to v088r10 release. byuu says: ethos is going to be absolutely amazing. You guys are in for a treat :D I'm impressing the hell out of myself with how well-structured this code is, it's allowing me to do amazing new things. Just a small sampling of what's in store (and already implemented): The file browser will display folders as "[ folder name ]", and cartridge folders as "Game Name" (no extension, no /) [icons would be nicer, but well ... phoenix.] Folders are sorted above cartridge folders. Cartridge folders for other systems do not show up in the list. Not only are unique paths stored for each image type, your position in the list is saved across runs. Some voodoo was added to GTK+ so that all targets even scroll directly to that item when you open the list. Load->System->Enter restarts your last game. That sounds really simple and obvious, but it makes an -incredible- difference. Didn't realize it until I tried an implementation of it, wow. The input mapping list now lets you bind as many hotkeys as you want to any given input. So SFC::Port1::Joypad::B = Keyboard::Z or Joypad::Button1 ... no need to remap everything to switch between keyboard and joypad. Either one activates the key. There is a separate Hotkeys tab now. This should hopefully end the confusion about how to remap hotkeys that users experience. Hotkeys are different, too. Instead of OR logic, they use AND logic. So Fullscreen = Keyboard::Alt and Keyboard::Enter. Both must be pressed to enter the key. This lets you easily implement "super" modifier keys. The actual codebase has new features the old UI never had, and has about ~50% of the old functionality (so far, of course), yet is only ~25% as much code. The entire GUI no longer needs to pull in all the headers for each emulated system. It just needs a small interface header file. Then bind the entire system with exactly **two** lines of code. Everything is dynamically generated for you after that.
