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 v099r07 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- (hopefully) fixed BS Memory and Sufami Turbo slot loading
- ported GB, GBA, WS cores to use nall/vfs
- completely removed loadRequest, saveRequest functionality from
Emulator::Interface and ui-tomoko
- loadRequest(folder) is now load(folder)
- save states now use a shared Emulator::SerializerVersion string
- whenever this is bumped, all older states will break; but this makes
bumping state versions way easier
- also, the version string makes it a lot easier to identify
compatibility windows for save states
- SNES PPU now uses uint16 vram[32768] for memory accesses [hex_usr]
NOTE: Super Game Boy loading is currently broken, and I'm not entirely
sure how to fix it :/
The file loading handoff was -really- complicated, and so I'm kind of
at a loss ... so for now, don't try it.
Everything else should theoretically work, so please report any bugs
you find.
So, this is pretty much it. I'd be very curious to hear feedback from
people who objected to the old nall/stream design, whether they are
happy with the new file loading system or think it could use further
improvements.
The 16-bit VRAM turned out to be a wash on performance (roughly the same
as before. 1fps slower on Zelda 3, 1fps faster on Yoshi's Island.) The
main reason for this was because Yoshi's Island was breaking horribly
until I changed the vramRead, vramWrite functions to take uint15 instead
of uint16.
I suspect the issue is we're using uint16s in some areas now that need
to be uint15, and this game is setting the VRAM address to 0x8000+,
causing us to go out of bounds on memory accesses.
But ... I want to go ahead and do something cute for fun, and just because
we can ... and this new interface is so incredibly perfect for it!! I
want to support an SNES unit with 128KiB of VRAM. Not out of the box,
but as a fun little tweakable thing. The SNES was clearly designed to
support that, they just didn't use big enough VRAM chips, and left one
of the lines disconnected. So ... let's connect it anyway!
In the end, if we design it right, the only code difference should be
one area where we mask by 15-bits instead of by 16-bits.

Update to v098r04 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- SFC: fixed behavior of 21fx $21fe register when no device is connected
(must return zero)
- SFC: reduced 21fx buffer size to 1024 bytes in both directions to
mirror the FT232H we are using
- SFC: eliminated dsp/modulo-array.hpp [1]
- higan: implemented higan/video interface and migrated all cores to it
[2]
[1] the echo history buffer was 8-bytes, so there was no need for it at
all here. Not sure what I was thinking. The BRR buffer was 12-bytes, and
has very weird behavior ... but there's only a single location in the
code where it actually writes to this buffer. It's much easier to just
write to the buffer three times there instead of implementing an entire
class just to abstract away two lines of code. This change actually
boosted the speed from ~124.5fps to around ~127.5fps, but that's within
the margin of error for GCC. I doubt it's actually faster this way.
The DSP core could really use a ton of work. It comes from a port of
blargg's spc_dsp to my coding style, but he was extremely fond of using
32-bit signed integers everywhere. There's a lot of opportunity to
remove red tape masking by resizing the variables to their actual state
sizes.
I really need to find where I put spc_dsp6.sfc from blargg. It's a great
test to verify if I've made any mistakes in my implementation that would
cause regressions. Don't suppose anyone has it?
[2] so again, the idea is that higan/audio and higan/video are going to
sit between the emulation cores and the user interfaces. The hope is to
output raw encoding data from the emulation cores without having to
worry about the video display format (generally 24-bit RGB) of the host
display. And also to avoid having to repeat myself with eg three
separate implementations of interframe blending, and so on.
Furthermore, the idea is that the user interface can configure its side
of the settings, and the emulation cores can configure their sides.
Thus, neither has to worry about the other end. And now we can spin off
new user interfaces much easier without having to mess with all of these
things.
Right now, I've implemented color emulation, interframe blending and
SNES horizontal color bleed. I did not implement scanlines (and
interlace effects for them) yet, but I probably will at some point.
Further, for right now, the WonderSwan/Color screen rotation is busted
and will only show games in the horizontal orientation. Obviously this
must be fixed before the next official release, but I'll want to think
about how to implement it.
Also, the SNES light gun pointers are missing for now.
Things are a bit messy right now as I've gone through several revisions
of how to handle these things, so a good house cleaning is in order once
everything is feature-complete again. I need to sit down and think
through how and where I want to handle things like light gun cursors,
LCD icons, and maybe even rasterized text messages.
And obviously ... higan/audio is still just nall::DSP's headers. I need
to revamp that whole interface. I want to make it quite powerful with
a true audio mixer so I can handle things like
SNES+SGB+MSU1+Voicer-Kun+SNES-CD (five separate audio streams at once.)
The video system has the concept of "effects" for things like color
bleed and interframe blending. I want to extend on this with useful
other effects, such as NTSC simulation, maybe bringing back my mini-HQ2x
filter, etc. I'd also like to restore the saturation/gamma/luma
adjustment sliders ... I always liked allowing people to compensate for
their displays without having to change settings system-wide. Lastly,
I've always wanted to see some audio effects. Although I doubt we'll
ever get my dream of CoreAudio-style profiles, I'd like to get some
basic equalizer settings and echo/reverb effects in there.

Update to v098r12 release.
byuu says:
Changelog:
- higan/video: added support for Emulator::Sprite
- higan/resource: a new system for accessing embedded binary files
inside the emulation cores; holds the sprites
- higan/sfc/superscope,justifier: re-enabled display of crosshairs
- higan/sfc/superscope: fixed turbo toggle (also shows different
crosshair color when in turbo mode)
- higan/sfc/ppu: always outputs at 512x480 resolution now
- causes a slight speed-hit from ~127fps to ~125fps;
- but allows high-resolution 32x32 cursors that look way better;
- also avoids the need to implement sprite scaling logic
Right now, the PPU code to always output at 480-height is a really gross
hack. Don't worry, I'll make that nicer before release.
Also, superscope.cpp and justifier.cpp are built around a 256x240
screen. But since we now have 512x480, we can make the cursor's movement
much smoother by doubling the resolution on both axes. The actual games
won't see any accuracy improvements when firing the light guns, but the
cursors will animate nicer so I think it's still worth it. I'll work on
that before the next release as well.
The current 32x32 cursors are nicer, but we can do better now with full
24-bit color. So feel free to submit alternatives. I'll probably reject
them, but you can always try :D
The sprites don't support alpha blending, just color keying (0x00000000
= transparent; anything else is 0xff......). We can revisit that later
if necessary.
The way I have it designed, the only files that do anything with
Emulator::Sprite at all are the superscope and justifier folders.
I didn't have to add any hooks anywhere else. Rendering the sprite is
a lot cleaner than the old code, too.

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 v100 release.
byuu says:
higan has finally reached v100!
I feel it's important to stress right away that this is not "version
1.00", nor is it a major milestone release. Rather than arbitrary version
numbers, all of my software simply bumps version numbers by one for each
official release. As such, higan v100 is simply higan's 100th release.
That said, the primary focus of this release has been code
clean-ups. These are always somewhat dangerous in that regressions are
possible. We've tested through sixteen WIP revisions, one of which was
open to the public, to try and minimize any regressions. But all the same,
please report any regressions if you discover any.
Changelog (since v099):
FC: render during pixels 1-256 instead of 0-255 [hex_usr]
FC: rewrote controller emulation code
SFC: 8% speedup over the previous release thanks to PPU optimizations
SFC: fixed nasty DB address wrapping regression from v099
SFC: USART developer controller removed; superseded by 21fx
SFC: Super Multitap option removed from controller port 1; ports
renamed 2-5
SFC: hidden option to experiment with 128KB VRAM (strictly for novelty)
higan: audio volume no longer divided by number of audio streams
higan: updated controller polling code to fix possible future mapping
issues
higan: replaced nall/stream with nall/vfs for file-loading subsystem
tomoko: can now load multi-slotted games via command-line
tomoko: synchronize video removed from UI; still available in the
settings file
tomoko, icarus: can navigate to root drive selection on Windows
all: major code cleanups and refactoring (~1MB diff against v099)
Note 1: the audio volume change means that SGB and MSU1 games won't
lose half the volume on the SNES sounds anymore. However, if one goes
overboard and drives the sound all the way to max volume with the MSU1,
clamping may occur. The obvious solution is not to drive volume that high
(it will vastly overpower the SNES audio, which usually never exceeds
25% volume.) Another option is to lower the volume in the audio settings
panel to 50%. In general, neither is likely to ever be necessary.
Note 2: the synchronize video option was hidden from the UI because it
is no longer useful. With the advent of compositors, the loss of the
complicated timing settings panel, support for the WonderSwan and its
75hz display, the need to emulate variable refresh rate behaviors in the
Game Boy, the unfortunate latency spike and audio distortion caused by
long Vsync pauses, and the arrival of adaptive sync technology ... it
no longer makes sense to present this option. However, as stated, you
can edit settings.bml to enable this option anyway if you insist and
understand the aforementioned risks.
Changelog (since v099r16 open beta):
- fixed MSU1 audio sign extension
- fixed compilation with SGB support disabled
- icarus can now navigate to root directory
- fixed compilation issues with OS X port
- (hopefully) fixed label height issue with hiro that affected icarus
import dialog
- (mostly) fixed BS Memory, Sufami Turbo slot loading
Errata:
- forgot to remove the " - Slot A", " - Slot B" suffixes for Sufami
Turbo slot loading
- this means you have to navigate up one folder and then into Sufami
Turbo/ to load games for this system
- moving WonderSwan orientation controls to the device slot is causing
some nastiness
- can now select orientation from the main menu, but it doesn't rotate
the display

Engine
- merged WonderSwanInterface, WonderSwanColorInterface shared

file)
- this means you can now save your progress in games like Neutopia
- the PCE-CD I/O registers like BRAM write protect are not
emulated yet
- PCE: IRQ sources now hold the IRQ line state, instead of the CPU
holding it
- this fixes most SuperGrafx games, which were fighting over the
VDC IRQ line previously
- PCE: CPU I/O $14xx should return the pending IRQ bits even if IRQs
are disabled
- PCE: VCE and the VDCs now synchronize to each other; fixes pixel
widths in all games
- PCE: greatly increased the accuracy of the VPC priority selection
code (windows may be buggy still)
- HuC6280: PLA, PLX, PLY should set Z, N flags; fixes many game bugs
[Jonas Quinn]
The big thing I wanted to do was enslave the VDC(s) to the VCE. But
unfortunately, I forgot about the asynchronous DMA channels that each
VDC supports, so this isn't going to be possible I'm afraid.
In the most demanding case, Daimakaimura in-game, we're looking at 85fps
on my Xeon E3 1276v3. So ... not great, and we don't even have sound
connected yet.
We are going to have to profile and optimize this code once sound
emulation and save states are in.
Basically, think of it like this: the VCE, VDC0, and VDC1 all have the
same overhead, scheduling wise (which is the bulk of the performance
loss) as the dot-renderer for the SNES core. So it's like there's three
bsnes-accuracy PPU threads running just for video.
-----
Oh, just a fair warning ... the hooks for the SGB are a work in
progress.
If anyone is working on higan or a fork and want to do something similar
to it, don't use it as a template, at least not yet.
Right now, higan looks like this:
- Emulator::Video handles the platform→videoRefresh calls
- Emulator::Audio handles the platform→audioSample calls
- each core hard-codes the platform→inputPoll, inputRumble calls
- each core hard-codes calls to path, open, load to process files
- dipSettings and notify are specialty hacks, neither are even hooked
up right now to anything
With the SGB, it's an emulation core inside an emulation core, so
ideally you want to hook all of those functions. Emulator::Video and
Emulator::Audio aren't really abstractions over that, as the GB core
calls them and we have to special case not calling them in SGB mode.
The path, open, load can be implemented without hooks, thanks to the UI
only using one instance of Emulator::Platform for all cores. All we have
to do is override the folder path ID for the "Game Boy.sys" folder, so
that it picks "Super Game Boy.sfc/" and loads its boot ROM instead.
That's just a simple argument to GameBoy::System::load() and we're done.
dipSettings, notify and inputRumble don't matter. But we do also have to
hook inputPoll as well.
The nice idea would be for SuperFamicom::ICD2 to inherit from
Emulator::Platform and provide the desired functions that we need to
overload. After that, we'd just need the GB core to keep an abstraction
over the global Emulator::platform\* handle, to select between the UI
version and the SFC::ICD2 version.
However ... that doesn't work because of Emulator::Video and
Emulator::Audio. They would also have to gain an abstraction over
Emulator::platform\*, and even worse ... you'd have to constantly swap
between the two so that the SFC core uses the UI, and the GB core uses
the ICD2.
And so, for right now, I'm checking Model::SuperGameBoy() -> bool
everywhere, and choosing between the UI and ICD2 targets that way. And
as such, the ICD2 doesn't really need Emulator::Platform inheritance,
although it certainly could do that and just use the functions it needs.
But the SGB is even weirder, because we need additional new signals
beyond just Emulator::Platform, like joypWrite(), etc.
I'd also like to work on the Emulator::Stream for the SGB core. I don't
see why we can't have the GB core create its own stream, and let the
ICD2 just use that instead. We just have to be careful about the ICD2's
CPU soft reset function, to make sure the GB core's Stream object
remains valid. What I think that needs is a way to release an
Emulator::Stream individually, rather than calling
Emulator::Audio::reset() to do it. They are shared\_pointer objects, so
I think if I added a destructor function to remove it from
Emulator::Audio::streams, then that should work.

- also, the version string makes it a lot easier to identify
compatibility windows for save states
- SNES PPU now uses uint16 vram[32768] for memory accesses [hex_usr]
NOTE: Super Game Boy loading is currently broken, and I'm not entirely
sure how to fix it :/
The file loading handoff was -really- complicated, and so I'm kind of
at a loss ... so for now, don't try it.
Everything else should theoretically work, so please report any bugs
you find.
So, this is pretty much it. I'd be very curious to hear feedback from
people who objected to the old nall/stream design, whether they are
happy with the new file loading system or think it could use further
improvements.
The 16-bit VRAM turned out to be a wash on performance (roughly the same
as before. 1fps slower on Zelda 3, 1fps faster on Yoshi's Island.) The
main reason for this was because Yoshi's Island was breaking horribly
until I changed the vramRead, vramWrite functions to take uint15 instead
of uint16.
I suspect the issue is we're using uint16s in some areas now that need
to be uint15, and this game is setting the VRAM address to 0x8000+,
causing us to go out of bounds on memory accesses.
But ... I want to go ahead and do something cute for fun, and just because
we can ... and this new interface is so incredibly perfect for it!! I
want to support an SNES unit with 128KiB of VRAM. Not out of the box,
but as a fun little tweakable thing. The SNES was clearly designed to
support that, they just didn't use big enough VRAM chips, and left one
of the lines disconnected. So ... let's connect it anyway!
In the end, if we design it right, the only code difference should be
one area where we mask by 15-bits instead of by 16-bits.

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 v088r08 release.

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